Thirteenth direct-to-video WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo film produced by [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros.

It was produced and completed in 2008, but held over to early 2009 for release (presumably so its' sister movie, ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGoblinKing'', could be released first for the Halloween season.)

So, we have the Scooby Doo Gang coming to Tokyo, Japan so 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.\\
