Are legends static pieces of folklore that explain and celebrate the past, or are they constantly evolving stories with room for new heroes? Scooby-Doo and the gang are headed to Japan where Daphne is scheduled to take part in an invitation-only martial arts tournament and the rest of the gang is looking forward to some much-earned relaxation. In Japan, technology is quickly replacing long-held traditions, but the revered martial-arts academy stands for all that is traditional. Daphne is thrust into the martial-arts competition before she even realizes it's begun, but the contest is almost immediately interrupted by the appearance of the ghost of the Black Samurai who has mysteriously sprung to life in the Tokyo Museum of Cultural History. The ghost steals the legendary sword of fate and the revered Destiny Scroll and suddenly the gang finds themselves embroiled in a mystery that will take them from Japan to an isolated, cloud-cloaked island in the South Pacific. There Velma pits her computer skills and ability to control Japan's high-tech inventions against everything from robotic ninjas to Samurai ghosts while Shaggy and Scooby learn a lot about everything from geishas to becoming Samurai warriors. Riddles, origami, a temple full of booby-traps, legendary dragons, sword fights, and the requisite chase scenes, Scooby snacks, geeky Fred moments, and Daphne fashion crises add up to a mystery bursting with danger, suspense, and lots of the unexpected. In the end, true villains are revealed and a new chapter with an unexpected hero is added to an old legend. The bonus "Scooby-Doo Dojo" provides a brief history of martial arts, including a discussion of the philosophy behind the art and some basic instruction in several safe and simple martial-arts moves.
