All right.
This has been bothering me for like 30 years.
So, at about 24 minutes into Master Ninja II, during the first host segment... what the poopie is Crow saying after "like it was written in blood?!?!"

Every time I've seen it referenced online, they wrote "The van dies!" but that makes absolutely no sense to me--even though that's exactly what I hear, too.
But lately I've been starting to wonder: could it be "the Van-DAL!" Like, that would be perfectly cromulent, since it's an actual pun on "vandal." And I mean, the phonology isn't perfect, but early MST3K left in a lot of flubbed lines. So it definitely seems possible that Trace was just having an off day and didn't quite pronounce it right.
Help. This threatens to become my own personal That's Where I'm A Viking.🙀
