Shinobi 21: Burn! Ninja Baseball of Dreams (燃えよ！夢の忍者野球 Moeyo! Yume no Ninja Yakyū) is the twenty-first episode of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. It features the full debut of Ariake no Kata following her revival at the end of the previous episode.
Synopsis[]
Kinji has now become an “apprentice” disciple of Yoshitaka and joins the rest of the team in ninjutsu training. Since he attained his abilities through self-schooling, he knows nothing about the basics. It is then that he decides to train from zero by himself. A young boy who had stayed for extra baseball practice sees Kinji training. Then, the dream eating Yokai, Baku, appears and attacks the boy. Takaharu appears and shields him, but both their dreams get eaten. Also, Kyuemon has brought back the last member of the Kibaoni Army, none other than Gengetsu’s wife, the Lady of Kibaoni's house, Ariake no Kata.
Plot[]
Almost immediately after the previous episode, Kyuemon revives Ariake no Kata, Kibaoni's wife. The latter however immediately throws a fit directed at Masakage due to the lack of fear and demands him to gather more, while in a different location, Youkai Baku is created from a purse, stealing the owner's dream with his Dream Eater beam.
Now that Kinji is officially his student, Yoshitaka assigns the Ninningers to learn advanced Shuriken Ninpo by the end of summer and tells them to begin with the basics. Kinji, who hasn't learned Goton techniques, heads off to work on them on his own when he finds Kaito Kita, a young boy aspiring to become a pro baseball player. However, Baku arrives and steals the dreams of Takaharu and Kaito, and both lose their interests. Fully satisfied, the Youkai begins to take a break when Ariake no Kata arrives and demands him to gather children's fear.
Takaharu begins searching for a job while Kaito decides to leave when Baku returns, using Takaharu's dream to turn all of the Jukkarage with him into ninjas. They are quickly defeated, and Kinji decides to bait the Youkai into activating Kaito's dream to remind the boy of his aspirations.
Using various Nin Shuriken, the Ninningers defeat the Jukkarage and Baku in baseball while having both Takaharu and Kaito involved to remind them of their goals. Takaharu turns into AkaNinger Chouzetsu, and defeats the Youkai in a combination attack with the others.
A giant Baku uses his Dream Eater beam on Shurikenjin, taking all of the core Ninningers' dreams, when Bison King knocks them out of his body for Kaito to throw back. AkaNinger summons Lion Ha-Oh and defeats him.
