Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (Ninja Squadron Kakurangernote Kakuranger is a portmanteau of Kakure, which means "hidden", and Ranger) is the eighteenth installment in the Super Sentai franchise, airing from 1994 to 1995. Takashi Tsushimi composed and performed the Title Theme Tune.400 years ago, a band of Y�kai battled a group of ninjas, led by the legendary Sarutobi Sasuke. He and four other ninjas sealed the Y�kai away behind a magical door. In the present day, the Y�kai are set free when two of those ninjas' descendants, Sasuke and Saiz�, are tricked into opening the door. Now, they and the three descendants of the other ninjas must put the Y�kai away as the Kakurangers.This is the first Super Sentai with a Ninja motif; its characters are also compared to the leads of Journey to the West. It was also the first Sentai to feature a female as its leader and the first to have a non-human ally as a Sixth Ranger. Part of its charm is the distinct Postmodernism feel it has - the Narrator, and later the Youkai themselves, make a point of introducing their past selves directly to the audience, whilst being characters in the show, for example.It was adapted into America as the third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Notably, the suits were used for the Aquitian Rangers, who protected the Earth during the "Alien Rangers" story arc when the Mighty Morphin team was de-aged.The series itself was the third Super Sentai to see a US release in May of 2016. It can be streamed for free at Shout! Factory TV. | |

Vanity License Plate | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_1305f045 | comment |
Vanity License Plate: Nekomaru's license plate is "Shinagawa-56 Go 5656" - '56' can be read as 'goro', and 'goro-goro' is the Japanese onomatopoeia for 'purring'. Similarly, Oboro-guruma has 459HEL (which wouldn't be legal in Japan...). '459' = 'shigoku' = 'Jigoku' = Hell. Kind of a blink-and-you-miss-it, since it's only really visible when he's giant-sized. | |

Morphic Resonance: The youkai in human form usually retain some aspect of their personality or appearance, such as Kappa’s goggles or Binbogami’s clown makeup. This is exploited by Saizou at one point to disguise himself as Daimaou in human form with his black cloak and glasses to trick an obsessed female youkai. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The close-quote of the roll call in Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger is very reminding of this series'. At one point Junior performs a ritual to Zashiki-Warashi evil, with the incantation "Daichi no akuryou tachi yo. Ikeru momo no subete no ikari to nikushimi wo atsume, kono zashiki-warashi ni aku no chikara wo atae yo"note Evil spirits that dwell within the earth, gather the anger and hatred of all living things, and grant evil power unto Zashiki Warashi This is very close to Bandora's Make My Monster Grow incantation in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, "Daichi ni nemuru akuryou-tachi yo. (monster's name) ni chikara wo atae yo."note "Evil spirits that dwell within the earth, grant power unto (monster's name.)" Also when the Flower Kunoichi Gang posed as a teacher, they taught the children songs that was taught in the first episode of Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman by Five Yellow/Remi Hoshikawa. The 'gag' part? One of the Flower Kunoichi Gang members is played by the actress of Remi (Keiko Hayase) The line Today is Fine Day in California is probably a reference to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, which takes place in Angel Grove, a town in California. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Justified by the fact that the Kakurangers are traveling in a bus... But they all appear to have at least one change of clothes (Seikai tried to sell their laundry at a flea market once) and they switch to summer outfits once it's warm enough. Clothes Make the Legend: Their ninja gear is very limited (largely to facilitate the henshin sequence, it seems), but has apparently been passed down through the ages and is utterly distinctive. Amusingly, Sasuke seems to subvert this - his outfit changes every so often, much more than the others, but because it's always the same kind of clothes it's hard to see. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: The sexy red outfit worn by Amikiri in #17 is not so different from the one actress Ami Kawai previously wore as Karsha in ''Jiban'' #12. Ittan Momen from #25 is voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama, which explains why he's riding a motorcycle and always saying 'baby'! #46 has a Monster of the Week that summons manga characters to battle out heroes. The most fearsome of them is played by Yoshinori Okamoto, veteran suit actor usually in the role of The Dragon (eg. Biohunter Silva), now in a Dragon-esque role to the monster. (This is itself a Call-Back to the first couple of episodes, as he also played the Original Kirigakure Saizou. Then joke then becomes Saizou getting his ass kicked by his still-unimpressed ancestor.) In #35, Tsuruhime reunites with her childhood friends Yukiyo and Tsukiyo Yamasaki to become the Punishment Sailor Sisters against the Monster of the Week. The Yamasaki sisters' actresses, Noriko Tanaka and Kei Ishibashi, had previously starred with Satomi Hirose as the main trio of Yuugen Jikkou Sisters Shushutorian . | |

No Fourth Wall: Beginning with Episode 25 (following the departure of the narrator), the monsters begin to explain to the audience themselves the mythology behind them. Incidentally, the narrator is an in-universe character to begin with. He at one point has to move his narration stage to avoid getting caught up in the Kakuranger's training, and on one occasion got caught up in Enra-enra's laughing gas (who then proceeds to do his own explanation). | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: The Youkai are perfectly willing to target children, but one who really stands out for this is Bakeneko in Episode 8 who kidnaps children in order to chop them up and serve them for other Youkai to eat! And the Youkai only get worse from there. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: Or, more precisely, Sealed Evil Behind the Door. This was where most of the Y�kai were when the show started, and where Daimaou ended up. Justified, as killing Daimaou would result in all the Yokai being revived and him turning into a Hate Plague, effectively making him more dangerous dead than he is alive. | |

Big "WHAT?!": In episode 34, Sunakake Babaa tells the rangers that if she wins, she plans on marrying the Infernal King. This gets a huge "What?" from the rangers, as well as the surprised King himself. | |

Animal Mecha: The Kyodai Jūsh� (and by proxy, the Jūsh� Fighters) have humanoid forms with anthropomorphic characteristics, while the Ch�ninjū and Tsubasamaru are all animal-shaped. The name of each Kakuranger's mecha is a pun on the animal it's based on. "Saruder" = saru (ape) "Kark" = kaku (crane) "Rogan" = gar� (wolf) "Kumard" = kuma (bear) "Gammer" = gamagaeru (Japanese toad) | |

Big Eater: Seikai.

The rest of the episode is devoted to finding a way to get the Youkai out and return Seikai to normal. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: Young Noble Junior. While the show still maintains plenty of comedy, and Junior has his quirks and silliness (just watch him jam out on his "guitar" and gently play on his grand piano), it's with his appearance that things begin to take a more serious turn. Junior's Youkai proves to be more formidable than those previously encountered, he displays a serious streak of ruthlessness, and his schemes see the Kakurangers come close to defeat on a few occasions. And when the Kakurangers try to directly confront him, he's absolutely no slouch in battle (as Jiraiya and Sasuke both learn the hard way). While the show would still maintain plenty of comedy, even after Junior's arrival and eventual defeat, his time on the show certainly represented a slant in a more serious direction. | |

NinjaRed also has a Fuuma Shuriken, with his first Humongous Mecha wielding a bigger version (it can double as a shield) that it rolls at enemies to kill them. The rangers also use Caltrops on a few occasions. Each of them has a wakizashi in Ranger form, and finally NinjaRed's third Humongous Mecha wields a pair of ninja-to. | |

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: Very much so. Compared to its predecessor, the series practically ran on Camp, complete with a Large Ham of a Narrator, lots of "WHAM!!" comic effect, a Funny Foreigner, and tons of cartoonish humor on BOTH ends. That is, until the scroll arc kicks in and things got a lot more serious from there. (Hell, you could probably trace back to when Junior and the Flowery Kunochi Team made their first appearance.) Keep in mind though, the series still managed to have a lot of cartoonish moments, but there's a marked change from the beginning episodes to the later episodes, especially during the final arc. | |

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The Kakurangers are this in spades. To boot, we have a highly-trained ninja who just so happens to be a wealthy heiress, a Hot-Blooded, childish slacker, a bumbling fool who's great with kids, a Butt-Monkey who's a notorious Big Eater, and a Funny Foreigner whose badassery is tempered by his bad Japanese (but don't worry though, his English is amazing). Then they get joined by a Voluntary Shapeshifting robot ninja/samurai who was stuck in a blue vase for around 1000 years. They somehow still manage to work together to defeat and seal away the Youkai Army Corps and run a crepe shop, though it wasn't without its difficulties in the beginning. | |

Token Good Teammate | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_8f612013 | comment |
Token Good Teammate: EXTREMELY downplayed in the case of Karakasa, a late-season youkai who had a personality more befitting that of those early in the season, evil but more comic relief than most of the late-season youkai. Played straight with Oboroguruma who just wanted to be a cab driver. If people would have treated him fairly, he wouldn't have snapped and the Kakurangers wouldn't have had to intervene. | |

Heroic Lineage: The modern Kakurangers are descendants of the originals, some 24 generations down the line (in Tsuruhime's case). The modern ones all get to meet their ancestors when they get their Doron Changers - and we find out that the ancestors aren't exactly thrilled with how their descendants turned out. | |

Shout-Out | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Nekomaru is a cat spirit that double as a vehicle, like the CatBus. When the Kappa is brought back to life as a cyborg he has the legs of a Zaku and the right arm of a Zakrello. Reika's participation in battle alongside Sasuke gives tribute to Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger battles. Reika herself is an homage to Mei (who was played by her actress), her twin daggers are a nod to Boi (that team's Yellow), and unlike the Kakurangers' attacks, her blows strike Sword Sparks off the Dorodoros. What may be another Zyuranger nod are the non-urban shots of the Super Stealth Beasts running together. Episode 35, the whole Punishment Sailor Sisters gimmick is a parody of Yuugen Jikkou Sisters Shushutorian as it serves as a reunion for Satomi Hirose (Hanako Yamabuki / Tsuruhime) with her TV sisters Noriko Tanaka (Yukiko/Yukiyo Yamabuki) and Kei Ishibashi (Tsukiko/Tsukiyo Yamabuki). On top of that, it's chock full of Sailor Moon references as well. The villains' plot is Sailor Moon-esque compared to the other episodes, the girls' Sailor costumes (Tsuruhime also gets to wear one) are a blatant visual reference, Tsuruhime and the Sisters confront the episode's YÅ�kai with an In the Name of the Moon speech worded quite similarly to the Trope Namer's, and it's Tsuruhime (the female leader of the team and who is a colour match for Usagi more or less) who finishes off the YÅ�kai single-handedly. Episode 7, the Monster of the Week has the iconic outfit of Terry Bogard. Also, the monster's cap has the word "Hungry" on it as a reference to Terry's moniker, "The Legendary Hungry Wolf". | |

Series Continuity Error | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error Early in the series, Jiraiya claimed that he couldn't speak Japanese. Later on, we get flashbacks of Jiraiya from before he became a Kakuranger speaking perfect Japanese (unless it was just Translation Convention). Episode 20 has Muteki Shogun speak to Sasuke and loan him his sword. A few episodes later, the Rangers (including Sasuke) are surprised to find out that Muteki Shogun is a Mechanical Lifeform. There is a slight temporal discrepancy regarding when the war between the Three God Generals and the Yokai which led to Daimaou's sealing took place; #24 claims that it took place 2000 years prior, then #36 claims that it took place only 1000 years prior. The very next episode adds to this by having Daimaou celebrate his 1200th birthday. | |

The Hit Flash: Of the Batman "POW!" "WHAM!" type. (In English, of course.) This is the likely reason why not much Kakuranger footage was used for Power Rangers. Frequently appears over the picture, rather than as a separate card, and is most often used when they throw their shuriken.

Highly-Visible Ninja: The team goes out and fights monsters in BROAD DAYLIGHT, and summons giants to fight giant monsters. At one point, a TV Crew documents one of their battles. They have to be the most visible ninjas ever. Their Kakuranger gear is intended for use during battles with Youkai, which are almost always highly public. Their actual ninja gear is much more subdued and what you'd expect - black gear, shin guard, bracers - except for Tsuruhime, who wears white... but even that's not so visible inside a dark office building. And then there's Ninjaman... who subverts this with Voluntary Shapeshifting. Kinda hard to see a 8-centimeter-tall ninja, even if he's Ninjaman. | |

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: One Y�kai, Zashiki-warashi, wished to make friends with humans, including Jiraiya, rather than kill them. This costs him his life. When we first see Oboro-guruma (Eps. 3), he's working as a cabbie and having a spectacularly bad day. He's had his ear pulled on by a kid, his cab soiled by a nauseous drunk, and his fare meter ripped out by an ungrateful customer - at which point he snaps and changes into his Youkai form, chasing down that last guy. | |

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_e11b003d | comment |
Early in the series, Jiraiya claimed that he couldn't speak Japanese. Later on, we get flashbacks of Jiraiya from before he became a Kakuranger speaking perfect Japanese (unless it was just Translation Convention). | |

Camp: Well for this Sentai, you've got a... super hammy Narrator, lots of "WHAM!!" comic effect and a Funny Foreigner to the boot. Is it good? Holy Ninja, Batman! IT IS! Cerebus Syndrome: Midway of the series, however, the Narrator is gone, and the series started getting edgy and dramatic, particularly the episodes to get their final scrolls. | |

Humongous Mecha | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: The first Sentai series to feature two sets of combining mechas for the main team rather than just one. The team's Sixth Ranger also functioned as a third humanoid robot. A Mech by Any Other Name: The Sanshinsh�note Three Divine Generals and their components, the Kyodai Jūsh�note Giant Beast Generals and the Ch�ninjūnote Super Stealth Beasts. Tsubasamaru gets the unique classification of Seininjūnote Holy Stealth Beast. Animal Mecha: The Kyodai Jūsh� (and by proxy, the Jūsh� Fighters) have humanoid forms with anthropomorphic characteristics, while the Ch�ninjū and Tsubasamaru are all animal-shaped. The name of each Kakuranger's mecha is a pun on the animal it's based on. "Saruder" = saru (ape) "Kark" = kaku (crane) "Rogan" = gar� (wolf) "Kumard" = kuma (bear) "Gammer" = gamagaeru (Japanese toad) Combining Mecha: The Jūsh� are the components of the Muteki Sh�gun, while the Ch�ninjū are the ones for the Kakure Daish�gun. Red Saruder + White Kark + Blue Rogan + Yellow Kumard + Black Gammer = Muteki Sh�gun God Saruder + God Kark + God Rogan + God Kumard + God Gammer = Kakure Daish�gun Averted with the Jūsh� Fighters, which are lightweight versions of the standard Jūsh� that make up for their inability to combine with greater speed and flexibilitynote Their names are just like the others, only they all begin with "Battle" (i.e. Battle Saruder, Battle Kark, etc.). Motion-Capture Mecha: The Kakurangers could transform into their individualized Jūsh�. Mecha Expansion Pack: Tsubasamaru, a falcon-shaped mecha, served this function to either of the two Sh�gun. Muteki Sh�gun + Tsubasamaru = Super Muteki Sh�gun Kakure Daish�gun + Tsubasamaru = Super Kakure Daish�gun Mechanical Lifeform: The Sanshinsh� are ancient deities, while Ninjaman is their disciple. Transforming Mecha: Ninjaman, who can enlarge himself and transform into Samuraiman, counts as one. Also, the Muteki Shogun could transform into a castle, but unfortunately, the toy version is unable to replicate this feature due to the limited articulation endemic to all Deluxe Sentai robots. | |

Bad Luck Charm: Kanedama distributes these in his episode in the form of coins, attaching them to houses and causing misfortune to fall upon the residents. He then poses as a "Youkai Exorcist" to try to con people into paying him to "remove" the curse (and, because he is a money-obsessed Youkai, he demands more and more from each person he "helps," to the point of ransacking houses). | |

Bound and Gagged: Happens oh so many times to the heroes, sometimes with the gag too. Daimaou's Youkai Gang is a rather kinky group. Tsuruhime winds up in this predicament more than anyone as, you know, she's the girl. Sasuke always avoids this, because he's based on the guy who's never caught: Sun Wukong, and he's the red one. | |

Crossover: Super Sentai World, a short 3D film where the Kakuranger team fought alongside the four previous Sentai teams (Fiveman, Jetman, Zyuranger and Dairanger). The main giant robot of each team was also present. This short film served as a predecessor to the annual Versus movies that began the following year. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Sasuke and Saizou, two young slackers, saw an old man getting mugged and rushed to his rescue. After driving away the muggers, they ran back to the victim only for him to use his last breaths to tell them to take his bag to a certain shrine, allowing them to keep the stacks of money insideas a reward. After following mysterious people, they find the place, only for the whole thing to have been a trick on the part of Kappa to get two descendants of the ninjas who had sealed away the power of the Yokai (and several Yokai as well) centuries ago to unwittingly open the cage once more. Oh, and the money? Disguised cucumbers. | |

Never Say "Die": You can probably count on one hand the number of times the Youkai directly say they're going to kill someone. They're usually content just to send someone to hell, or defeat them, etc. (Justified on a meta-level by how they themselves don't necessarily 'die'.) | |

Theme Naming: Each Kakuranger is named after a ninja from actual Japanese folklore. Justified - they're all descended from said ninjas, and their names are taken from their ancestors. Sasuke: Named after Sarutobi Sasuke. Jiraiya: Named after the hero of the folktale Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari. Saiz�: Named after Kirigakure Saiz�. Seikai: Named after Miyoshi Seikai. Tsuruhime: Named after Ōh�ri Tsuruhime. (referred to as Shodai Tsuruhime) Also applies to the Flower Kunoichi Gang, where every one of them has a flower name (Ayame = iris, Sakura = cherry flower, Suiren = water lily, Yuri = lily - the regular kind - , Ran = orchid) | |

Perpetual Poverty | |
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger / int_ffb1df90 | comment |
Perpetual Poverty: Averted. They're hardly middle-class, but working a crepe stand through Nekomaru apparently provides enough money for five adults to survive day-to-day. The key word there is 'survive', as Saizo buying a Kei-car or Seikai selling off a change of their clothes at a flea market is a clear source of concern for them. Outright is discussed and justified by The Narrator at one point, who notes that as a traveling band of Youkai hunters, they can't just stop and work normal jobs for money. It appears that, prior to becoming scouted (read: shanghaied) by Tsuruhime, this was how Sasuke and Saizou were living. | |
