Revision as of 17:00, 24 April 2020

Logo-supersentaiThis article is about a series entry (the 39th) in the Super Sentai series.

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger (手裏剣戦隊ニンニンジャー Shuriken Sentai Ninninjā), translated as Shuriken Squadron Ninninger, is the 39th entry in the Super Sentai television series and franchise.

On February 22, 2015 it replaced Ressha Sentai ToQger and joined Kamen Rider DriveIcon-crosswiki as part of the Super Hero Time block. After Drive's finale, Kamen Rider GhostIcon-crosswiki joined Ninninger in the Super Hero Time line-up, and was replaced by Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger on February 14, 2016.

Ninninger's footage is used to create the American adaption, Power Rangers Ninja Steel and Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, and it is also the last Super Sentai show to be adapted into Power Rangers until Ryusoulger. It was also dubbed in South Korea as Power Rangers Ninja Force (파워레인저 닌자포스 Pawaleinjeo Ninjaposeu).

The average ratings of the series was 3.9%.[1]

Production

The producers of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger said on the public reveal of Ninninger "With Kakuranger, their catchphrase was "Hiding among people, we slash through evil", however, the Ninninger have no problem making a blast being ninjas. " used the paradoxical 'so what' attitude as a concept, but what I meant was that their unstoppable breakthrough force could allow them to break this sense of stagnation we feel nowadays, as heroes to cheer on".

Producer Naomi Takebe presented the series as not unlike a Hollywood movie with an "unthinkable ninja" concept. "We wanted to create a concept of out-there ninjas with a festival robot, dragons, fun sounds and anything fun, anything". As for the action, Takebe said: "We are paying special attention to things like backflips and spins, things that a human is actually capable of doing. There is certainly wire work, but we wanted to take on the challenge of showing what the human body is capable of achieving".

The suit actors for AkaNinger and AoNinger are newcomers selected as the fresh blood for this season. Inoue also highlighted sound. From the henshin sound of the katana ("Nin-nin-nin Nin-ninin-nin!") to the summoning sound for the mecha ("Wasshoi Ninja!"). He said: "Sounds are very interesting. The opening theme, written by Neko Oikawa, is very hot and intense. The ending, on the other hand, has this festival feel that makes you want to dance. The opening "Let’s go Ninninger" is sung by Yohei Onishi and the ending, "Nanja Monja! Ninja Festival" is sung by Daiki Ise. The Seasons Mecha is a refresh of the previous successful series says the various producers and writers of Sentai eg. Humanoid Robot (Shinobimaru), Mythical Animals (Dragomaru), Construction Mecha (Dumpmaru), Train (Byunmaru) and Real Animals (Wanmaru)

Plot

"To earn the title of 'Last Ninja', his five grandchildren carry on his will. Their enemy: the strongest Sengoku general, Kibaoni Gengetsu. The current young ninjas are the Shinobi that don't hide!"
―Narrator[src]

The evil warlord Gengetsu Kibaoni was defeated 444 years ago by the Igasaki Clan to which he swore to destroy humanity, and again later the Kibaoni Army once again rose in the times of Last Ninja (ラストニンジャ Rasuto Ninja) in which he was sealed by Yoshitaka Igasaki (Last Ninja). Yet again exactly 444 years later in 2015 Kyuemon Izayoi and Raizo Gabi, the Generals of Kibaoni, rise and start building up the empire again and try to revive Gengetsu Kibaoni. In this time, Tsumuji Igasaki, son of Last Ninja gathers the five predicted cousin Ninjas and hands them the Ichibantou swords for fighting the Kibaoni Army.

Notes

  • The ninja theme of this season is probably due to the end of Masashi Kishimoto's manga Naruto, months prior to the first episode airing.
  • While this Sentai is the 39th entry in the series, Shinobi 6 aired on the 40th anniversary of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger on April 5, 2015.
    • Originally, it was supposed to be the 7th episode to air on that date.
    • The original scheduled premiere date was February 15, but it ended up delayed by a week due to the last minute pre-emption of ToQger's 46th episode due to breaking news coverage of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto's murder by ISIL militants.
  • This is the first season since Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger where the three main colors (Red, Blue and Yellow) are all male.
  • This is also the first season since Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters not to feature either a Black or Green Ranger as part of the core team of Rangers.
    • Additionally, this is the first season since Mahou Sentai Magiranger to feature a male Yellow Ranger and a female White Ranger.
    • And, this is the first season since Dengeki Sentai Changeman to have both a female Pink Ranger and a female White Ranger in the core team.
  • This is the first Super Sentai series to feature an actor from the Power Rangers franchise as Yoshi Sudarso, Koda of Power Rangers Dino Charge made a cameo appearance in episode 34 as a civilian attacked by the Kibaoni Army Corps under Ariake no Kata.
  • Ninninger ties Ressha Sentai ToQger as the second shortest official Sentai series at 47 episodes, after JAKQ Dengekitai (which had 35 episodes).
  • As of 2016, adjusting for inflation, Ninninger is the second-worst selling sentai series after Juken Sentai Gekiranger. [3] Without adjusting for inflation, it is the third-worst-selling Sentai after Gekiranger and Mirai Sentai Timeranger.
  • Ninninger's Korean dub is called Power Rangers Ninja Force. It's the first overtly Japanese themed season to be dubbed, as Hurricanger and Shinkenger were skipped.
  • This is the only season to have the Red-Blue-Yellow-White-Pink main team formation.
  • Ninninger has the lowest ratings out of all the Sentai shows with the Rating of 3.6%, Giving it the title of the worst Sentai.
