After her work with DangerTemps, Shuriken is confronted by foes from her past : Morgan Enterprises has created an synthetic humanoid organism,Slate, that can transform itself in any person with only DNA contact. Morgan choose a sample of Shuriken's DNA. And then Slate is ordered to kill Shuriken, to complete itself and reveal the obscure thoughts of the ninja.

A new mini series for Shuriken. Shuriken, a former assassin turned freelance adventurer, was an early entry in both the Amerimanga and warrior woman trends that would explode over the next few decades. Following the events of Blade of Shuriken, unemployed and broke, Kyoko Shidara, aka Shuriken, takes a job with Danger Temps, basically a temp service for bodyguards. It sounds like a good idea at the time; but she is going to fight crazy vigilantes and a major terrorist organization (S.P.E.A.R.), who threatens all America. Meanwhile, Kyoko's mental state is tested. The storyline is followed in Hellbender and Shuriken(1991).

One shot. The story continues Shuriken’s adventures from Shuriken Cold Steel and is continued in Shuriken vol.2. A serial killer is loose and the police are baffled as to how to catch him. Detective Doug Jordan, the lead investigator on the case, has had problems with his self-confidence ever since he froze as his girlfriend, a rock star named Joan Harlowe, was attacked. He feels he has failed as a man. Harlowe returns after a long tour to meet with Doug. She is constantly shadowed by her friend, a deadly female martial artist named Kyoko Shidaro, a.k.a. Shuriken. When the three decide to dine at a popular night-spot, they are attacked by the killer, or so they think. Doug doesn’t freeze this time and shoots the perpetrator instantly. Later, when the detective inspects the body, he realizes that the man he shot was a copycat criminal. This means that Joan and Kyoko are alone, and in danger…
