Infuriated by the Mutants' excuse that the Sword of Omens is invincible, Mumm-Ra summons Hachiman, a legendary Samurai, and his sword, the Thunder-Cutter. He deceives Hachiman into believing that Lion-O is evil. Hachiman confronts Lion-O while the Thundercat is en route to the Warrior Maiden's Kingdom with Nayda. They engage in a fierce contest of egos and Nayda saves them both from destruction. Even this narrow escape does not prevent Lion-O and Hachiman from continuing their confrontation - but neither the Sword of Omens or the Thunder-Cutter will obey its master. Lion-O and Hachiman realize that they are both honorable and that Hachiman has been deceived by Mumm-Ra. They join forces, only to be attacked by Slithe and Monkian in SkyCutters. They capture Slithe and take him to the Treetop Kingdom. Mumm-Ra summons a Ninja who assumes the form of Gumla the Tabbut and infiltrates the Treetop Kingdom by pretending to negotiate for Slithe's release. During the night, he transforms himself back into the Ninja, arms Slithe and warns that the Mutants will attack at dawn. The Ninja now attempts to destroy Hachiman, using Nayda as a hostage. She neutralizes his bargaining power by diving toward the ground, oblivious to the mortal danger. Lion-O hurls the Sword of Omens at a tree trunk. The Sword sticks and Nayda saves herself by grasping the hilt. Lion-O, Hachiman, the Warrior Maidens and the Thundercats defeat the Mutants' attack.
