Team Nippon #2 Aircel, Jul 1989, b&w.
1 Team Nippon #2 cover Alex attacks the bodyguard Da Li by landing on his back but is quickly thrown off. Simon distracts Da Li but Lee hits the huge man with his nunchaks. This has little effect so Bo comes with his stick and hits Da Li. Sai appears and Lee asks who they are. Bo tells them friends. Gen tells them Alex is in bad shape and needs help. They all leave, watched by Shuriken. Dr. Lu checks on Alex's mild concussion, coming to Gen's house. He and Gen discuss how the soldiers out on the battleground are children. Alex names his headache whopper 164. Alex feels like the loser of the team. He could have mind zapped the thug. Simon tells him that fighting isn't all they need. Gen wants Simon to let Alex rest. Lee insults Bo who returns the favor. Lee tries to kick him but is stopped. Sai stops Bo as Lee continues to insult him. Gen wants Lee to apologize but he won't. The Yakuza have the plans and will assemble the weapon. Soon they will have the ultimate engine of destruction. They plan on the Triads and Tong uniting with them and when Chinatown is brought to its knees, then they will go after all of NYC. Gen finds Lee outside on a bench and they talk about Bo and what they decided when they banded together to fight the gangs. The argument turns funny when Gen counters that "Dinks have sensibilities too!" Lee laughs at that. The pair hear something about busted stuff and selling to the Yakuza. One is named Akuto. Shuriken attacks them. Gen decides to help her and she and Lee puts on their costumes. Shuriken uses stars, Lee his sticks, and Gen her sword. Shuriken knows of Team Nippon. Lee tells her, "Gosh, if you want to join, too, we'll have to call us Army Nippon." The Japanese Army perfected an automated killing machine for use in space, Shuriken explains. The plans for it were followed by her to the Yakuza here. The thugs were stealing components. Shuriken returns to her own affairs (from the company Eternity and a good title also). Bo stays up as the others go to sleep. He wants to fight but not with Lee. Lee agrees that they should clean up Chinatown first, then fight each other. Bo goes to sleep. Lee sticks his tongue out, feeling peachy (sarcasm). Gen says, "Well, things will never get boring around here."
