I can already sense this training program has a high casualty turnover rate.

These Daughters of Aku sure are being lied to big time.

Hm. Has Aku been absent for a while?

I have a message from another time...

Looks like it. Then again, I never read the IDW comics. (But then again, I have no idea to what extent the revival follows the continuity of those issues, if at all.)

Obviously Aku's voice is gonna be different, cause... y'know... but I wonder who they got to voice him this time.

Also the Pied Piper of Stealth Rock over here is amusing.

Did Aku somehow summon a brainwashed Honda Tadakatsu?

It'll be Greg Baldwin, the same actor who portrayed Aku for FusionFall (and also filled in as Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra after, well, you know).

Ah, now there's a familiar ED. And an updated Cartoon Network outro! They're pulling out all the stops, eh?

[up][up][up] It really does feel that way, doesn't it?

Definitely looking forward to the next episode. It feels like that one Daughter of Aku that the episode focused on (can't remember her name) is being set up for a Heel–Face Turn, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't pan out for some reason.

Dudes that was fucking awesome. [awesome] [tup] grin

Kinda sad the robot had to die.

Also I guess according to Jack, apparently he has not faced any biological threat in years. Just robots, the Daughters are the first living beings sent by Aku in a while.

I'm glad the humor and whimsy of the original are still present to some degree. That assassin robot was a lot of fun.

Flesh and blood they may be, but I can't wait to see these Daughters get put down like the attack dogs that they are.

Just to mention for those wondering, comics are non-canon.

Goku is a foxy grandpa. wink

I think that Anji may be the Token Good Teammate of the Sisters, or that she'll undergo a Heel–Face Turn.

It seems pretty clear that one of the girls (Vashi? Something like that? Can't recall the name) is going to have some kind of character development. Maybe even a redemption arc, perhaps?
