===Hi-Yo Silver!, Kemo sabe, and other cultural tropes=== {{Redirect|Who was that masked man?|the Sailor Moon episode|Who Is That Masked Man?}} At the beginning of each episode, the magnificent white stallion, Silver, would rear up with the Lone Ranger on his back, then they would dash off, the Ranger encouragingly shouting, "Hi-Yo, Silver!"<ref>{{cite book |last=Striker |first=Fran |author-link=Fran Striker |title=The Lone Ranger Rides |url=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/40038/40038-h/40038-h.htm |date=1941 |pages=passim |location=New York |publisher=[[G. P. Putnam's Sons]] |access-date=October 15, 2017}}</ref> Tonto could occasionally be heard to urge on his mount by calling out, "Get-um up, Scout!" At the end of each episode, mission completed, one of the characters would always ask the sheriff or other authority, "Who was that masked man?" When it was explained, "Oh, he's the Lone Ranger!", the Ranger and Tonto would be seen galloping off with the cry, "Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!" catching the attention of one of the townspeople crossing the street. [[Tonto]] usually referred to the Lone Ranger as "[[Kemo sabe]]", described as meaning either "faithful friend," or "trusty scout".<ref name="Enter the Lone Ranger">The Lone Ranger Season 1 Episodes 2, 3, 4 "Enter the Lone Ranger", "The Lone Ranger Fights on", "The Lone Ranger Triumphs", 1949</ref><ref>Brewers Dictionary of 20th Century Phrase and Fable.</ref> It is more likely the word derives from the [[Anishinaabe language]].
