* FootFocus: Mostly during the dojo scenes, averted with Velma who ''refuses to take off her shoes'' (which in real life is utterly not allowed in Japanese dojos unless your a spectator. Reasons? It's sparring and no footwear lessens some of the impact, it leaves marks on the floor and is considered disrespectful to both the dojo and the opponent. You think someone as smart a Velma would know that).

The Scooby Doo Gang has come to Tokyo, Japan so that Daphne can compete in a martial arts contest at a prestigious school. Before heading to the school in a fully functioning robotic plane, they meet up with Daphne's friend Miyumi, who is also a student. However, at the tournament, Mr. Takagawa, the curator at a Tokyo museum of ancient history, tries explaining to Mirimoto, the head of the tournament, that an ancient evil known as the Black Samurai has risen, and will be after a scroll in the school known as the Destiny Scroll. That night, the Black Samurai (and his ninja robots) attack during a feast, stealing what he thinks is the destiny scroll, but is actually only a copy.

Now, there is a race between the gang and the Black Samurai. After Velma solves the riddle of the scroll, they realize that they must get to an ancient sword, known as the Sword of Doom before the Black Samurai.
