Shinobi 34: Enter Jiraiya, Legendary World Ninja! (伝説の世界忍者、ジライヤ参上! Densetsu no Sekai Ninja, Jiraiya Sanjō!) is the thirty-fourth episode of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. This episode features a guest appearance by Takumi Tsutsui reprising his role as Toha Yamaji/Jiraiya, the eponymous protagonist of the ninja-themed Metal Hero Series, Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya.
Synopsis[]
The Ninningers are fighting a group of Hyakkarage when a warrior named Jiraiya appears. Jiraiya is a legendary Ninja, 35th head of the Togakure School and central figure of the World Ninja War that occurred 27 years ago. He confused the Ninningers with evil Izayoi school ninjas and confronted them. Meanwhile, at the dojo, the Committee for the Protection of the Good Name of Ninjas was paying a visit. They intend to improve the image of ninjas through a very strict set of rules. However, it is revealed that transforming into a Ninninger actually goes against these terms. When the Advanced Yokai Konaki-jiji appears, the Igasaki ninjas intend to fight but the committee is on their heels.

Notes[]
- As part of Super Hero Time, this episode aired alongside Kamen Rider Ghost episode 3, Bullseye! Bow and Arrow of Justice!.
- Viewership: 4.6%
- Sealing Shuriken purified: 26 out of 48
- In Ninningers' possession: 25
- In the Kibaoni Army's possession: 1
- Most fireworks in closing credits:

- Part of the opening sequence of Jiraiya was recreated for this episode's opening titles, namely the scene where Jiraiya takes out a shuriken, jumps and flings the shuriken forward, revealing the title card for Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya.
- In addition to the appearance of Jiraiya, Yoshi Sudarso, who played Koda the Dino Charge Blue Ranger from Power Rangers Dino Charge, confirmed via his Twitter account that he would make a cameo in this episode.[1][2]
- Sudarso's character is a tourist who speaks entirely in English, crying out "Somebody help me!" when he's being strangled by one of the Hitokarage. After Yakumo/AoNinger frees him and tells the tourist to "Get away!", he replies with "Okay, thank you!"
- This makes him the first Power Rangers actor to appear in Super Sentai.
- A scene from the Jiraiya opening, where he slides through an office, is re-enacted in this episode.
- Although this is the first appearance of Toha Yamaji himself since the finale of Jiraiya, it is neither the first appearance of Jiraiya in recent years nor the first on-screen interaction between a Sentai Ranger and Jiraiya. Jiraiya had previously been among a set of six Metal Hero Keys given to the Gokaigers to transform into Metal Heroes in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z two and a half years prior, with the form of Jiraiya being assumed by Gokai Green.
- When Kasumi looks up Jiraiya, various images depicting Jiraiya fighting different World Ninjas can be seen:
- Witch Ninja Madam Spider (front form)
- Star Ninja Retsukiba
- Butterfly Ninja Benikiba (would later appear in Uchuu Keiji Gavan vs. Tokuso Sentai Dekaranger)
- Org Ninja Dokusai
- Space Ninja Demost (would later appear in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger vs. Space Squad)
- Darkness Ninja Devil Cats
- Changing Ninja Parchis
- Metallic Ninja Gamesh
- Water Ninja Silver Shark
- Feast Ninja Gyuma
- Fire Ninja Chang Kung-Fu Jr.
- Chinese Ninja Lu-Long
- Strong Ninja Abdad
- Beast Ninja Makumba
- Sound Ninja Uha
- Anthropomorphic Ninja Vermillion Lizard
- Holy Ninja Alamsa
- Lightning Ninja Wild
- Jail Ninja Habrum
- Wind Ninja Mafuuba
- Castle Ninja Baron Owl
- Explosive Ninja Rocket Man
- During the rollcall of Jiraiya and the Ninningers, the scenes showing the core five Ninningers jumping are reused from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Vs. Kamen Rider Drive Spring Vacation One-Hour Combining Special.
