Destroyed by Robots

If you point a knife at me, I will literally give you anything you want.  No playing around.  I watch a lot of ninja based anime, and most well developed characters have an intense back story.  Unfortunately for a 300+ episode series this also means a ton of flashbacks.  Often the same flashbacks over and over.  Just in case we forget or just jump in.  During a burglary there is no time for such things.
