Development
When Ninja Cop Saizou was localized for North America and Europe, all of the game's cut scenes were replaced with more realistic drawings. The American and European versions of the game were set to star the Aquaman villain Black Manta, with Aquaman being the final boss of the game. Due to copyright issues, this idea was dropped and a generic ninja based on Dolph Lundgren was used instead. It has been discovered that one of these particular cut scene drawings were copied from How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way by Stan Lee and John Buscema. The image in question (the face of an evil-looking man with a mustache) is notably featured when interrogating an enemy in the first level.
