He is seen at the end of the episode boxing with Wildcat. In the teaser for "Duel of the Double Crossers!", he reveals that he has an afro-style haircut underneath his hood. In the episode "Inside the Outsiders!", when Batman entered Black Lightning's mind to stop Psycho-Pirate from feeding off his rage, it is revealed that Lightning is easily enraged by even the most inane and inconsequential things, like someone putting sprinkles in his coffee ("What are you, a six year old?!"). In the cold open to "Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!" he and the Outsiders defeat Kobra. He has a new costume (along with Katana) in the episode. The lone female in the Outsider's trio, she has no super powers, but is a highly skilled martial artist and swordswoman. Her real name is Tatsu Yamashiro. Katana is generally silent (stating to her friends that "you know how I hate to repeat myself"), typically letting her actions speak for her. After Batman and Wildcat convince her and the Outsiders to turn against their monstrous boss Slug, Wildcat suffers from a heart attack causing Katana to take charge of the situation and speak. She instructs Black Lightning to jumpstart Wildcats heart while Metamorpho becomes oxygen to fill his lungs in order to revive him. She is later seen at Wildcat's gym dumping out one of his "Tiger Tonics" (composed of tuna, bananas, raw eggs and Tabasco sauce) into a nearby house plant (Batman did this earlier in the episode, and the plant died instantly). Her appearance is that of a teenage Japanese girl in a red skirt and yellow shirt School uniform (both reference the adult version's costume in colour), two shurikens in her hair and she always carries a sword with her. In "Inside the Outsiders!", Katana and the rest of the Outsiders are captured by Psycho Pirate, and her dream is re-living the night her master is killed, only modified to make it look like it was her fault, and is silent because she talked too much. Psycho Pirate (disguised as Takeo) taunts her, even encouraging her to kill him, using her rage to power himself, though Batman is able to remind her that her silence is a way to honor Takahiro's teachings of self-control. In "The Siege of Starro! Part One", she wore a samurai costume, while in "Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!", she is seen in the classic costume her adult version wears, and she (and the rest of the Outsiders) stop Kobra.
