"NinjaBlack! Jiraiya!"
―NinjaBlack's roll call[src]

Jiraiya (ジライヤ) is NinjaBlack (ニンジャブラック Ninja Burakku) of the Kakurangers. He is a descendant of Jiraiya from the Warring States Era.

Jiraiya is a Japanese-American ninja from Los Angeles trained by his guardian Gali after his father was killed. He is 20 years old at the beginning of Kakuranger.

History[]

Kakuranger[]

Jiraiya's clan's ancestors long ago moved to America, and had been out of contact with Japan for many years.

When Jiraiya was a child, his father was killed by what he thought at the time was a Yokai. Since then, he was raised by Gali, a friend of his father's and his mentor.

He first met the Kakurangers when he was pretending to help the Yokai Oboroguruma. He was, in fact, trying to claim the scrolls Oboroguruma's boss, Azukiarai, had stolen centuries beforehand. These scrolls would allow him and the other Kakurangers to become Giant Beast Generals. This course of action only resulted in him getting captured and dumped into a volcano. He was saved by his ancestor, who gave him a lecture and entrusted him with a Doron Changer, allowing Jiraiya to become NinjaBlack. He then joined the other four Kakurangers, completing the team. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 3: American Ninja

While finding his Shinobi Scroll, Jiraiya was forced to battle Gali, who revealed himself to be the man who killed Jiraiya's father and is now in service of the Yokai. After the bloody battle between them, Jiraiya learned why Gali did it, as well as hoping Jiraiya would kill him as intended. Both the deaths' of Zashiki-warashi and the two men he had known since childhood give Jiraiya his reason for fighting the Yokai. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 29: History's First Super Battle

Years later, Jiraiya fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The NinjaBlack powers are later used by Don Dogoier via the Ranger Keys. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Personality[]

Jiraiya stands out among the others because he often speaks English, his native language. This at first causes both teasing from and confusion with the other team members. But he learns to speak more Japanese as the show progresses. He is the pure fighter of the group, and although he is skilled in Earth based ninja arts, he prefers to fight using his martial art skills. Unlike the other Kakurangers however, Jiraiya is at times a loner, and will often venture out to battle an enemy on his own. In the TV series, he is portrayed as a combination of the stereotypical cowboy and surfer persona.

Jiraiya is very fond of television, often becoming obsessed with fighting-based shows to the point he mindlessly emulates them in a fit of enthusiasm. He supposedly corresponds to Yulong.

NinjaBlack Ranger Key

The NinjaBlack Ranger Key.

"Kakuranger!"
―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]

The NinjaBlack Ranger Key (ニンジャブラックレンジャーキー Ninja Burakku Renjā Kī) is Jiraiya's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.

This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The NinjaBlack Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as NinjaBlack. It was also used by Luka Millfy (Gokai Yellow) on one occasion.

The Kakuranger Keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The Kakuranger keys were defeated by Gokai Green. Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Jiraiya received his key and became NinjaBlack once more. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Notes[]

  • Jiraiya shares his name with another Tokusatsu Hero, JiraiyaIcon-crosswiki of the Metal Heroes series, Sekai Ninja Sen JiraiyaIcon-crosswiki. Both are named after the ninja Jiraiya of Japanese folklore.
  • Jiraiya is the first Sentai Ranger to have a frog as a mecha.
  • Jiraiya is the first male Sentai hero associated in the United States.
  • He is the first Sentai Ranger that can speak perfect English.
  • Kakuranger as a series was intended partly to be a social commentary, and the addition of Jiraiya is no exception. Jiraiya is a nikkeijin—a person of Japanese descent who was raised outside Japan. Where nikkeijin fit into Japanese society was a hot topic in 1990's Japan and debates continue to this day.
  • Jiraiya is noticeably taller than Seikai, but when transformed he is shorter than him. This is due to height differences with the suit actor.
