Nin Shuriken

This article is about a set of collectible devices in Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

Still otomo-shuriken — The core 5 OtomoNin Shuriken

The Nin Shuriken (忍シュリケン, Nin Shuriken) are small throwing stars used by the Ninningers to unlock their powers, forms, and Mecha by placing them into the Ninja Ichibantou, then spinning them. The Ninningers can also throw copies of their Transformation Nin Shuriken for various kinds of attacks.

The Nin Shuriken are divided into three types: Transformation Nin Shuriken (変化忍シュリケン, Henge Shuriken), Technique Nin Shuriken (技忍シュリケン, Waza Nin Shuriken), and OtomoNin Shuriken (オトモ忍シュリケン, OtomoNin Shuriken lit. "Companion Ninja Shuriken", derived from "Companion" (お供, Otomo)).

When the Ninningers sharpen their Nintality (忍タリティ, Nintariti, combined form of "Ninja Mentality") enough times, the purified Sealing Shuriken used to create Youkai can transform into new Nin Shuriken to expand their arsenal.

Sealing Shuriken

The Sealing Shuriken (封印の手裏剣, Fūin no Shuriken) are the original set of 48 Shuriken which were used by Yoshitaka Igasaki to seal Gengetsu Kibaoni. Tainted by Kibaoni, they are used to create Youkai by combining with inanimate objects. Once the Youkai is destroyed, the Sealing Shuriken that forms its core is purified and the Ninningers must gather all of them in order to seal Kibaoni once more. Certain Sealing Shuriken can also transform into Nin Shuriken which adds to the Ninningers' arsenal or Yo Shuriken which are used by Kyuemon Izayoi to further the Kibaoni Army Corps.
