13:27 One thing I wish she had asked about is the Uniform, especially the Mask. You see how the Ninja students in the Ninja academy are dressed? He had a Morion in his collection, but I have to point out what you don't see: The Ninja Mask. His outfit wouldn't look out of place in Ido. They're wearing all black, or black, and blue, but this never looked out of place anywhere. Honestly, throughout time, you see someone wearing all black, and maybe think "That must be hot" unless it's a dark alley. That uniform is basically traditional sweats. The Ninja Mask serves 2 purposes: Concealing the face of Extras, and Stuntmen so the choreographer can make 20 guys look like 200 ,and "Hey look, a Ninja!" so the kids that came to see ninjas, or Daredevil beat up ninjas can see Ninjas. Back in the day a Spy could dress like her, because she doesn't look like a Ninja. That's the point.

Likewise, Karateka, Judoka, Kendoka, and all those other martial artists wear white SO YOU CAN SEE THEIR BELT. Other than that, the uniform is just what people wore around town, in Ido. Other than being Black, that's the only difference between the Shinobi practice sweats, and any other Japanese practice sweats. This is the Way of Secrecy. So, the only difference is it's black (Or dark blue) to hide the color of your belt. If a Ninja is a Blackbelt, he doesn't want you to know he's a Ninja. Let alone a Black Belt.
