Ninja Bond

onemonk909

I'm not seeing a thread on this, after searching for "ninja" in this forum; since I read YOLT as a kid I wondered why none of the continuation authors (to my knowledge) ever followed up on Bond becoming a ninja of sorts in YOLT. I know he suffered amnesia at the end of the book, but that ninja training would've been a matter of muscle memory and reflexes, so technically -- with the acknowledgement that we're dealing with fantasy, anyway -- Bond would still have at least some of those memories. But have any of the continuation authors dealt with this? I'm not expecting Bond to slip on a ninja outfit and start melting into shadows, but you'd think he would retain some fighting moves or acrobatic ability -- at least, what little he could manage with his daily smoking regimen!
