Now let's talk about the villain of this episode, this phantom character is sort of like a Japanese Spring-heeled Jack and Jack the Ripper and he is inspired by Deathstroke and Deadshot. The culprit is an assassin/mercenary who uses this phantom identity as a way to get away with assassinations. The reason he shot Scooby and went after Mystery Inc is because he was contracted to assassinate Scooby-Doo by Commander Madara (the leader of the Osoroshi organization), who wanted him to break Mystery Inc both spirit and body as revenge for interfering with their plans.
