Well I'll be darned.
I have to confess that even the Metrodome ones are imperfect. Granted, the Shout! Factory ones are worse, making the Metrodome ones the lesser evil, but Metrodome's subs did flub a lot of translations for The Headmasters (the Metrodome subs for Masterforce and Victory, however, are in good condition).
There's a bit of behind-the-scenes info regarding the Metrodome subs for their JG1 DVD releases. Their subs for The Headmasters were done by a professional translation company who were
really unfamiliar with the content of what they were translating, and thus wound up mistranslating some things, an even misspelling things as well. Fan consultant Chris McFeely, who was involved in the Metrodome DVD releases, attempted to fix a lot of these mistakes, but his final revision of the subs sadly didn't make it into the final product, rendering Metrodome's subs of The Headmasters flawed in their own right.
For their releases of Masterforce and Victory, however, they went with a different translation source: Fansubbing group TV-Nihon. They got permission from that group to use their subtitle scripts, which Chris did successfully edit to remove and replace the "Onore kisama-yatsu!" type stuff with appropriate English equivalents, making for a much better quality translation for those two series that what The Headmasters got.
So, then, I retract my previous blaming of Hasbro for that stupid line and re-aim it at the true culprit: The company Metrodome used for that release.

Sixshot is just one of many fictional ninjas that are portrayed unrealistically as abiding by honor and respect like Samurai do instead of just being lethal assassins. Just like Batman, the TMNT, Snake Eyes, even the Power Rangers for a couple series.
After all, true ninjas also don't make "ninja magic clones" of themselves a la the Pokemon attack called "Double Team".
