AAA Snake Eyes (GI Joe) Game moves into full production

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Till this day I wonder why Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes don't trade names...

As a GI Joe stan to the extreme (no pun intended ), allow me to explain.



"Storm-Shadow" in the G.I. Joe universe is a loose translation of "Arashikage" in English. Arashikage is the name of the ninja clan they both belong to, but it's also Storm-Shadow's last name because he was born into the family (his actual name is Thomas Arashikage). It wouldn't make sense for Snake-Eyes to call himself that since he's not Arashikage by bloodline like Storm-Shadow and Jinx are.
