Only the staunchest Pirate fanboy can deny that Ninja have some level of awesome. Any story that can reasonably fit Ninja in there, like stories in Feudal Japan, or the fantasy equivalent, will do so. Sometimes, those fantasy equivalents seem to exist solely to give them a reason to include the Ninja. Then again, some stories can't easily fit them, but throw them in anyway. It doesn't have to make sense. It's freakin' Ninja in your story! If you want to have them involved in the battle of Gettysburg, go ahead. Want to say ninjas were the ones who really beheaded people in the French Revolution? Want to say that Stalin had a one-on-one fight with ninjas which lead to the downfall of the USSR? Go ahead! Just remember, it won't be recorded in the history books, because Ninja are masters of invisibility. Ninja can also fall under this as part of Chandler's Law. If a story drags, have a random ninja encounter and it will surely pick up. A Sub-Trope of Ninja and Garnishing the Story. Compare Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot, Ninja Maid, McNinja, Everything's Better with Samurai, Gratuitous Nazis (the villainous German version), and the more general Anachronism Stew. |

X-Men: Psylocke is practically the Anthropomorphic Personification of this trope. As the equally British sister of Captain Britain, she was moderately attractive and loved by fans... but when she was put into a female ninja's body, her attractiveness and popularity went through the roof, as she became the team's Ms. Fanservice. Similarly, Kitty Pryde, during a trip to Japan, was abducted and mind screwed by the demonic Ogun, who downloaded a lifetime's worth of experience into her head, turning her Brainwashed and Crazy. Once she got her mind back, she retained much of her ninja skills. |

According to Buck Godot Zapgun For Hire ninja are just about the only thing every sentient species has in common. Many alien species have wildly different definitions for such basic concepts as rest, food or death, yet every single one of them has a type of warrior that fits the "ninja archetype". Usually they tend to dress in black pajamas and wield katanas. | |

The Moonlighting episode "Atomic Shakespeare" was a wild Anachronism Stew very loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew.

One shows up in the anime adaptation of Zorro, of all places, where he was after the title character for a episode on request of the man who had saved his life. The ninja nearly got the hero thanks to the Shadow Pin trick... Except Zorro managed to escape the first encounter and had a book on ninjas at home, one that explained it's a hypnosis-related technique and you can counter it by not looking in the ninja's eyes when he's about to throw the kunai. | |

Freefall has a restaurant with ninja waiters. The story goes that some fancy restaurants think that the waiter should be invisible, allowing the diner to concentrate wholly on their food, while others think the waiter should make themselves part of the dining experience. In Le Restaurant des Ninjas, the waiters' invisibility is part of the dining experience. | |

The SCP Foundation universe has SCP-2928, which are literally ninja. One of the disciplines of ninjitsu that they use binds them to the idea of what a ninja is, which means that as long as whoever is looking at them believes that actual ninja are stealthy, sneaky, and undetectable, they will be. But if whoever looks at them believes that ninja are highly visible, then they stand out like a sore thumb. The Foundation intentionally funded shows that made ninja seem more open and visible to weaken them. Also, according to one of the ninja in Foundation custody, the turtles are real, but their creation involved a lot of cocaine. | |

In the Whateley Universe, there's a rival school to Whateley Academy. It's the Yama Dojo, in Japan. So this means... ninja! In one of the first stories, a Five-Man Band superpowered ninja team sneaks into the school to steal a trophy for a final exam, only to be defeated by the 5 new freshmen students — before they had even had any combat training, to boot. | |

Discworld: Spoofed in Interesting Times, which has a scene where an entire training hall of ninja are soundly defeated by a half-dozen barbarians, one of whom is in a wooden wheelchair. The youngest barbarian is about 75. Spoofed in Witches Abroad. Magrat Garlick briefly takes up the martial arts, but being both a witch and a Lancre girl at heart she doesn't quite get what beating the stuffing out of people with your bare hands has to do with getting in touch with the universe and thinks "Ninja" would be a nice name for a girl. |

MADtv (1995) once had a Take That! sketch directed at Steven Seagal, with the actor starring in a remake of Kung Fu (1972). When Seagal completely botches Kwai Chang Caine's Zen philosophies, he distracts the issue by shouting "NINJAS!" which causes several ninja to attack him, resulting in a frustrated David Carradine walking off the set. | |

The Golden Sun series has a set of Ninja classes among its Class and Level System options, available in full to Venus and Mars Adepts while the Ninja class itself is also available to Jupiter Adepts. It's usually one of the best combat options for Squishy Wizard types, since it gives them a high Attack multiplier, useful boosts to Defense, Agility, and Hit Points, and its only detriments are to Luck and Psy Points, which these characters typically already have in abundance, but it's quite tricky to access and maintain, since it requires a lot of Djinn and unleashing even one of them can result in a class change to something less favorable. In Dark Dawn, Shrine Maiden Himi turns into a Ninja if given the Djinn arrangements for the Samurai class. Mostly though it's to prevent her (who has caster like base stats) to turn into a pure physical class. |

The “awesome� part of the old name for this trope is subverted in The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World. Four ninjas attack John and Ringo in their hotel room—but the two know they're coming, and while the very one-sided battle is offscreen, the aftermath has the ninjas hanging in ice harnesses on the outside of the hotel, stripped naked and with the words “Don't Fuck With 9000s" printed on them. | |

Kamen Rider Build's powers are based on combinations between an inanimate object and a living organism. Most "organism" powers are based on animals, but a few are human professions instead, and one of those professions is a ninja. The inanimate object power that it's most often paired with is that of a comic book. | |

In Kamen Rider Geats, one of the powerups that the Riders can use is "Ninja", which allows the use of various ninja techniques. While any Rider can use it, it's mostly associated with Kamen Rider Tycoon; with it stated that Tycoon's willingness to dedicate his life to a cause is similar to a ninja's devotion to their mission. | |

Kamen Rider Saber features an order of European-style knights — one of which, Kamen Rider Kenzan, is a knight with a ninja theme who wields dual katana-style swords that can combine to make a Fuuma Shuriken. The justification is that these Riders get their power from fairy tales and folk heroes, and Kenzan gets his from the story of famed ninja Sarutobi Sasuke. | |

Mazinger Z: This series is a Super Robot Genre, sci-fi series. Still, in episode 46 Big Bad Dr. Hell decided changing his usual strategy and instead of two Humongous Mecha he created two three-meters-tall ninja robots (the Blazas S1 and S2 "brothers") to carry a sabotaging mission off. They could perform complicated acrobatics, and threw shurikens -as well as missiles-. There was no apparent mission for them being ninjas other than ninjas are cool. | |

The Cyborg Ninja in the Metal Gear series might seem a bit out of place. But who cares, they can slice bullets in half! Back in the old days, FOXHOUND was described as a group of "modern-day ninja." True to the trope, The Scrappy Raiden from MGS2 returned as a cyborg ninja in MGS4, and instantly became one of the most awesome characters in the series. So much that he got his own game. |

Pathfinder also has a Ninja class, which is a variant version of the Rogue. They're arguably better than their parent class, due to having several abilities which make it easier to get your Sneak Attack damage. | |

Brawl Royale depicts Natalie, its eighth opponent, as a ninja making use of katanas and shuriken. Notably, this is the only time Matt Roszak depicted her as such - her debut in 2005 animation Black Mages 5, her second appearance in One More Final Battle and all of her appearances in the Epic Battle Fantasy series depict her as a mage with a Magic Staff as her weappon. | |

The Venture Brothers loves this trope. The pilot has a ninja villain with a technology fetish named Otaku Senzuri who gets caught masturbating to Dr. Venture's Oo Ray. Brock's vision in the Joy Can (see Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot for more details) has ninja raining from the sky. Brock himself is "two ninjas taped together to make one giant ninja", according to the Monarch henchmen. According to the Monarch, the only reason he was defeated in his first attempt on Dr. Venture's life was because Doc had a bunch of "ex-Navy SEAL ninja gorilla witches", and a tank. In reality, he just had the one Myra Brandish. Better than ninja. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and Zuko dress in all black and stealth their way around several Fire Nation navy commands, seen by no-one until they attack, in order to get information on the man that killed Katara's mother. It's all kinds of badass. The Dai Li are Earthbending Ninja. While they don't do the all black attire normally attributed to the profession, the training and combat style they use fits the bill perfectly. Given that unlike most Earthbenders, or any capable bender in the series, they use hidden weapons and misdirection in their combat style. Also, Zuko in Blue Spirit mode. Silent, stealthy, wears all black, incredibly badass, one of the only characters to be actually deadly in each appearance... total ninja right there. |

Mass Effect 2: Kasumi Goto is a new party member for Shepard's squad, who while officially called a "master thief" is Japanese, wears a skintight black and gray jumpsuit, keeps her face obscured at all times, can turn invisible at will and 1-shot kill hapless mooks when she pops out of nowhere, and backflips onto gunships 50 feet off the ground. So yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Space Ninja. Thane Krios is a very religious alien assassin (aside from being an alien himself, he made his living hiring out his services to the Hanar, making him an alien who does assassinations for aliens), who manages to be stealthy despite his inability to keep his shirt buttoned. His intro scene involves quietly dropping out of an air vent and dispatching three heavily armed guards almost before they know he's there. |

Mass Effect 3's Cerberus Phantoms provide a straighter example. They're basically cybernetic ninja, cartwheeling around the battlefield until they get close enough to shank you. This follows with the increased focus on Melee combat in the third game. There's also Kai Leng, the Illusive Man's new enforcer, another cyborg who favors Sword and Gun style. Multiplayer mode has two ninja-esque classes: the N7 Shadow Infiltrator (based on the aforementioned Phantoms) and N7 Slayer Vanguard (based on Kai Leng). |

New Getter Robo features an arc where the main characters go to an alternate-universe version of Heian-era Japan, apparently just as an excuse to include ninja in a Humongous Mecha anime. One of these includes a 200ft tall ninja Oni, which doesn't sound very stealthy but is nonetheless quite awesome. | |

Kamen Rider Kamen Rider ZX is ninja-themed for no adequately explained reason. Kamen Rider Fourze. Its theme is astronomy, and you've got a Rider with a rocket-shaped helmet and a base on the moon fighting constellation-themed villains. What are the Mooks? Ninjas. Why? Because they can. The antagonist from the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid movie, Kamen Rider Fuma, and his Mooks are based on ninjas. This is not that far fetched, as each of the Ex-Aid Riders are based on video game characters, and ninjas are a popular game theme. Kamen Rider Build's powers are based on combinations between an inanimate object and a living organism. Most "organism" powers are based on animals, but a few are human professions instead, and one of those professions is a ninja. The inanimate object power that it's most often paired with is that of a comic book. Kamen Rider Zi-O: In addition to Zi-O and Geiz Power Copying the various past Kamen Riders, the series also introduced Canon Foreigner "future" Riders for Kamen Rider Woz to copy from. One of them was a ninja Rider named Kamen Rider Shinobi. Kamen Rider Saber features an order of European-style knights — one of which, Kamen Rider Kenzan, is a knight with a ninja theme who wields dual katana-style swords that can combine to make a Fuuma Shuriken. The justification is that these Riders get their power from fairy tales and folk heroes, and Kenzan gets his from the story of famed ninja Sarutobi Sasuke. In Kamen Rider Geats, one of the powerups that the Riders can use is "Ninja", which allows the use of various ninja techniques. While any Rider can use it, it's mostly associated with Kamen Rider Tycoon; with it stated that Tycoon's willingness to dedicate his life to a cause is similar to a ninja's devotion to their mission. Geats also has a tie-in where Tycoon crosses over into the world of Kamen Rider Shinobi (as a nod to the fact that what was "future" in Zi-O was now the present); and ZX, Fuma, and Kenzan also got involved and joined the ninja Rider team-up for good measure. |

One could say Ash is quite the ninja at times, in the movies at least. In the first movie, he does that cool flip thing when he gets knocked down when he attacks Mewtwo by himself, and he flips off of wooden posts in the wall and catches the Jewel of Life in the 12th movie (while being who knows how far above the ground). They wanted the movies to be awesome, thus they made Ash a ninja. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: The Fuuma Clan is a Duel School that teaches young Duelists to become ninjas and how to use their ninja skills in a Duel. Due to the Action Duel mechanic where you can add Action Cards from different locations to your hand, running, jumping and other physical abilities are needed to get Action Cards. The brothers Tsukikage and Hikage are students of the Fuuma Clan and assist Reiji to fight Academia. Both of them use Twillight Ninja decks, with Tsukikage pursuing a defensive strategy and chipping the opponent's Life Points with little damage, while Hikage uses an offensive style. Their ninja skills are also helpful outside of dueling, as they can gather information and move in the shadows to support their comrades and clients. After Hikage is carded early on, Tsukikage is currently the only ninja on The Team. | |

The second season of Darker than Black features a lightsaber-wielding lesbian ninja Contractor — her power is turning things into Laser Blades, and her weapon of choice is a wooden katana. Clearly a Worthy Opponent for Hei. | |

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin has 47 visit a Japanese castle. Guess who can be found stalking around the walls and hiding in the rafters. In Hitman (2016), you can unlock a starting location in Hokkaido, Japan, where 47 enters the stage from the mountains dressed up as a ninja. There are multiple challenges associated with kills using the costume. |

Stick War has the Shadowrath from the second game onward, who are essentially just ninja in a setting where societies were previously defined by their national weapons. They were previously rogue Swordwrath (the people whose National Weapon was the sword) who took on a different fighting style to survive, with the only real connection being that ninjat� are still swords; ironically, they don't actually use their swords in-game, instead fighting with a quarterstaff. | |

The Soldier, a Cold War action movie involving gunbattles between terrorists and rogue intelligence agents, has a scene where the title character is attacked by a ninja assassin while resting in a safehouse. After trying to murder the Soldier with a Razor Wire garrotte and a huge machete, the ninja surrenders when the Soldier draws a gun. Turns out the attacker is just one of his team doing an Attack Hello, so the scene is entirely superfluous. | |

A popular first-season fan theory for Code Geass was that Sayoko, Lelouch and Nunnally's maid, was secretly a ninja who was as talented a fighter as Suzaku. The staff said "Why not?", and in the second season she was revealed as a badass ninja clan heiress who almost fought the cyborg Jeremiah Gottwald to a standstill. Not just in the second season - in the audio commentary for one episode, Satomi Arai comments that throughout the first season the writers would tease her about "Sayoko's true power" but frustratingly never gave her the chance to shine. |

Any Final Fantasy that uses a ninja job class (or Samurai and Monk for that matter). Occasionally handwaved as a job from a foreign land, but there still seem to be an extraordinary number of ninja running around medieval-Europe-inspired Ivalice in Final Fantasy Tactics, and, as mentioned above, often there's no token Far East village to justify it, mentioned or otherwise. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Duel Monsters card game has almost every kind of theme imaginable, ranging from powerful Egyptian Gods to apocalyptic Humongous Mechas to heroes from space to circus-themed animals to Lovecraftian creatures. Ninjas are just one of their many themes. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Filler character Jean-Claude Magnum is a Hollywood film star who is famous for starring in ninja films. While he himself is not a typical ninja and doesn't even act like one in person, he uses a Ninja deck, and at one point, one of his colleagues disguised himself as one of Jean-Claude's monsters to capture Mai. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: Yamikawa is a ninja, but appears more like a samurai due to his usage of his sword and he doesn't act much like a ninja. He uses an Armor Ninja deck, focusing on Xyz Summoning his Blade Armor Ninja. Yamikawa was also the original owner of Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja. Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: The Fuuma Clan is a Duel School that teaches young Duelists to become ninjas and how to use their ninja skills in a Duel. Due to the Action Duel mechanic where you can add Action Cards from different locations to your hand, running, jumping and other physical abilities are needed to get Action Cards. The brothers Tsukikage and Hikage are students of the Fuuma Clan and assist Reiji to fight Academia. Both of them use Twillight Ninja decks, with Tsukikage pursuing a defensive strategy and chipping the opponent's Life Points with little damage, while Hikage uses an offensive style. Their ninja skills are also helpful outside of dueling, as they can gather information and move in the shadows to support their comrades and clients. After Hikage is carded early on, Tsukikage is currently the only ninja on The Team. |

In a game of Call of Cthulhu where every PC is an academian living in the 1930s, he insisted he was "a professor of ninja studies." The story itself is a subversion; El Disgusto's idea of "ninja" seems to consist of a character who does nothing but skulk around in the shadows all mysterious-like, and El Disgusto himself is evidently a moron. | |

Samoa Joe was infamously removed from Impact Wrestling television for a few weeks when he was randomly assaulted by masked hooded men in black who shoved him into the back of a van and sped away. When asked by both fans and fellow wrestlers about being "abducted by ninjas" Joe's usual response is to insist he has no knowledge of such an event. | |

Iron Fist (1975): Danny's Roaring Rampage of Revenge is aided by a ninja mysteriously appearing from out of nowhere to assist him several times, then vanishing like... well, a ninja. Eventually, he turns out to be an evil ninja, stuck inside a book when he tried to lay siege to K'un-Lun, and was only aiding Danny because it suited his purpose. | |

Super Sentai frequently rotates between several Rule of Cool-inspired themes, and ninjas is a theme that has come up multiple times; used in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger, and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. Power Rangers follows suit in Season 3 of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Power Rangers Ninja Storm, and Power Rangers Ninja Steel. Ninjas sometimes appear in other seasons as well: Season 2 of Mighty Morphin' occasionally had the characters compete in "ninja competitions" — as far as we can tell, normal martial arts contests but wearing stereotypical ninja costumes. Rocky, Adam, and Aisha were introduced this way. This trope goes double for the Alien Rangers arc of MMPR Season 3, where the Kakuranger suits were used. The Alien Rangers are fishy Rubber-Forehead Aliens from a distant water planet called Aquitar, but their battle footage comes from Kakuranger, so it's full of Hand Seals and Flash Step and other ninja-ness that defies the "Alien" theme. There were two moments that serendipitously matched the water theme, though (Cestro runs on water in one episode, and creates a waterfall in another. You'll notice it's just him, the Blue Ranger, who does that... just like Tori from Ninja Storm. In Sentai it's for the same reasons - ninja Rangers have Supernatural Martial Arts, and Elemental Powers often accompany those.) Power Rangers Wild Force tries on the trope for size with the ninja Duke Org, Onikage. During his all too short tenure as The Dragon,note Blame the original Gaoranger version, where he was a less plot-important Monster of the Week. we even had ninja outfits on Toxica and Jindrax and even the footsoldiers. However, they served a purpose - the outfits let them board the Animarium undetected. Hikari Sentai Maskman had both Yellow Mask and the villainess Fumin as ninjas. His offers nothing to the progression of the series other than a few interesting focus episodes. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger was a Pirate-themed series and Crisis Crossover with previous Sentai series, so they made a special point to feature the Hurricanegers in a "Pirates vs. Ninja" episode. This led to the Gokaigers getting a Hurricanger-themed ninja Mecha Expansion Pack on a permanent basis, and at least the mecha carried over into Power Rangers Megaforce. |

Recess: School's Out has Dr. Benedict employing a bunch of ninjas for unclear reasons- they do chase the gang at one point, and when Ms. Finster and Randall see them pass by (Randall had just managed to free Finster from a window) and are promptly baffled as to what they just saw. She's later seen reporting to the police that she thinks they're using the school as a secret ninja training facility- they just laugh her off. (And the whole movie itself shifts away from the Serious Business plots of the series into more of a Genre Buster.) | |

An in-universe example, one published Shadowrun campaign includes an amusement arcade containing the ever popular games: Little Mutant Vik Ninja Cyberboy 3, Orbital Ninja Death Commando 5, The All New Ultimate Bike Race Ninja Street Duel and Street Fighting Magical Ninja 8. Then again, this is in a world in which two common character archetypes are "Street Samurai" and "Physical Adept" (almost always described as "magic ninja" in the flavor text, and possibly possessing some ninja-like abilities). However the fact that every named game had "ninja" squeezed into the title appeared to be invoking this trope. | |

While Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is best known for Soviet Superscience and Bears, it does feature Ninja as the Rising Sun infiltration unit - equivalent to the Allied Spy, except armed with a giant sword and throwing stars. Despite having one of the least plausibly deadly weapons in a game full of implausible weapons — throwing stars? — they could one-hit-kill any infantry and throw smoke bombs, although they were worthless against tanks. | |

Secret Agent has both Ninja and Ninja Masters, two kinds of Mooks. The Ninja, clad in black and wielding nunchucks, is the fastest mook in the game and deals typical Collision Damage. The Ninja Master wears blue and is slower, but has a gun instead of nunchucks. Apparently, the true master of ninjutsu is one who realized that there's no point in using traditional melee weapons when ordinary firearms are more effective. | |

Pokémon: The Series: The episodes "The Ninja Poké Showdown" and "From Cradle to Save" feature ninjas almost out of nowhere. Of course, the first episode is set in Fuchsia City, which had an entire gym full of ninja - which kinda defeats the idea of secrecy. One could say Ash is quite the ninja at times, in the movies at least. In the first movie, he does that cool flip thing when he gets knocked down when he attacks Mewtwo by himself, and he flips off of wooden posts in the wall and catches the Jewel of Life in the 12th movie (while being who knows how far above the ground). They wanted the movies to be awesome, thus they made Ash a ninja. Like in the games, there quite a few Pokémon based on ninjas. Ash himself catches a Froakie, which he eventualy fully evolves into Greninja. Pokémon the Series: XY has a hidden ninja village in Kalos, the region which is based on France... The villagers take some inspiration from Naruto, including a Dirty Old Man and a 100-year old Kunoichi who is capable of making herself look young and attractive.

Because, as lampshaded by the announcer in a commercial shown on YTV, "You can't have a good prank without...ninjas?". | |

NJ from Electric Wonderland uses the screenname "Night Ninja". When Trawn asked him what "NJ" stood for, he answered, "NinJa, I think..." (A later comic revealed that the "N" actually stands for "Nate".) | |

The Season 1 finale of Code Monkeys traveling to Japan to rescue Benny, who had been kidnapped by ninjas back in America while out driving with Larrity; Larrity briefly mistook them for black people, and got his ass kicked. Turns out they were sent by Takeda Matsui, head of Protendo, whose brother had committed suicide earlier in the season as a result of a Batman Gambit by Larrity. When Larrity confronts Matsui, he summons a bunch of salary men, who quickly turn into ninjas (Larrity promptly comments "I knew it! Always with the goshdarn ninjas...") | |

Green Eggs and Ham (2019) starts with an Action Prologue featuring what seems to be a ninja (who turns out to be Sam-I-Am) breaking into a zoo to free the Chickeraffe, a rare animal. The Lemony Narrator is appropriately baffled by the presence of a ninja in what's supposed to be a Dr. Seuss adaptation. | |

Family Guy: In Peter Griffin's version of The King and I, A.N.N.A. is a robot ninja from the planet England. When Peter imagines himself in the opening sequence of a fictitious 1980s sitcom called "My Black Son", at the end of the theme song — like, the last second — he sings: "Also he's a ninja!" In "Wasted Talent", Peter and Joe win a trip to the Pawtucket brewery in a spoof of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. One of the other winners is an amiable ninja. |

The Good Hunter has the kunoichi (aka. female ninja). Out of the 223 types of mamono, which normally include fantasy or mythical races, there are ninja types, apparently. In particular, the very first chapter has Murasaki Natsume, a succubus ninja, showing up at the Hunter's abode. Alas, her training as a ninja is not enough to prepare herself for the Hunter's ferocious assault. | |

How I Met Your Mother: one of the character is talking about his work and a boring report. His friends complain about it... so he ends up calling it the "ninja report" instead, and everyone goes "Ninjas are awesome" everytime it's mentioned. Another episode had Barney tell Ted the consequences of breaking a bro oath (or "broath", if you will), detailing a story from "ancient Bro-man times" where Julius Ceasar makes "Bro-tus" swear a broath not to have him (Ceasar) assassinated. Bro-tus swears the broath, only to sic a group of ninjas on Ceasar seconds later. |

Ella Enchanted has the Crimson Guard, which is basically a group of MEDIEVAL NINJA. In a European fantasy kingdom. Given the other anachronisms already shown, it's not that farfetched. The fact that they are summoned by breaking the glass on a button box just makes it better. | |

One of the villains in Kinnikuman's Gold Mask Arc was known as The Ninja. His fighting style revolved around smattering amounts of misdirection, including move-reversal so fast that it looked like reality warped, and having fake body parts ready with strings to make it seem like he could fight while dismembered. He reappeared as a member of Kinnikuman Soldier's team in the Scramble For The Throne Tournament Arc. He eventually died (Permanently) in the Sequel Series at the hands of Hanzo. | |

As if being giant alien robots wasn't enough, Transformers boosts its awesomeness factor reguarly with giant alien robot ninja. The Transformers has the episode "Enter the Nightbird", a Transformers-sized female ninja robot, made by a Japanese scientist to benefit society. Yeah, watch those nunchucks "benefitting" their way through society all through the episode. Transformers: ★Headmasters has Sixshot, Decepticon City Ninja Commander Consultant. The Marvel comic had Bludgeon, who contrary to his name (and undead samurai appearance) was one of the last surviving practitioners of Metallikato. This was because he'd killed all the others. Transformers: Animated has three Robot Ninja - The Stoic Prowl, the Jive Turkey Jazz, and The Mentor Yoketron (aka George Takei.) Yoketron is technically dead. However, it turns out Lockdown was one of his students, making him a ninja as well. |

Psylocke is practically the Anthropomorphic Personification of this trope.
