Shuriken Sentai Ninninger (roughly translates as "Throwing Stars Squadron Ninningernote nin in this case is short for Ninja") is the 39th series in the Super Sentai franchise, which aired from 2015-2016. It is the third Super Sentai team to have a Ninja theme (after Ninja Sentai Kakuranger from 1994 and Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger from 2002). The Theme Tune was performed by Yohei Onishi.Long ago, the great Last Ninja, Yoshitaka Igasaki, managed to seal away the evil Youkai race, seemingly forever. But when in modern day he passes away, his enemies had succeeded in returning to our realm, ready to spread havoc and destruction. Now it's all up to the Last Ninja's five grandchildren, who must come together as a team to defeat the Youkai threat. These young practitioners of ninjutsu arts are still inexperienced and childish, but through training and hardships they will strengthen their bond and become the ultimate ninja team - The Ninningers!Aired alongside the Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Drive and then Kamen Rider Ghost, the former of which sharing a one hour crossover followed by the team making a cameo in the spring Rider movie, in the Super Hero Time block.On January 12, 2016, it was revealed that Saban Brands would adapt their series as the 2017 and 2018 installments of Power Rangers as Power Rangers Ninja Steel. | |

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_20b593e9 | comment |
The joke here is that although the Hurricanegers at least hide among the people in ways similar to real life ninjas, they also have one of the longer and fancier roll calls, if not the most, while Kakuranger is worse due to the Post Modern tone and such things as at one point having a camera crew follow them around. | |

Gratuitous English | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: Shockingly averted for the colors in the Ranger names, they are in Japanese rather than English. Something that hasn't happened since the very beginning. Yakumo has a habit, though, of dropping a few English words here and there; justified, since he's spent the last few years in Europe studying magic. Kinji is this trope through and through as the Japanese American cowboy Star Ninger. It gets kind of Seinfeldian when Yakumo and Kinji have a semantics argument over how they pronounce the word "easy". Though it's kind of jarring because Kinji's arguing that Yakumo's pronouncing it as British people do, while he's pronouncing it with a more American inflection, yet they don't sound like they're really doing anything to pronounce the word either way. The opening lyrics also contains such: Tenka Muteki NinJAPAN One episode has a civilian calling for help in perfect English while being attacked. When Yakumo steps in, the civilian thanks him in the same. note Fun fact: the actor playing that civilian would go on to become a Blue Ranger on the other side of the Pacific, and that actor's brother would go on to become Ao Ninger's American counterpart. | |

We Want Our Idiot Back! | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_31549671 | comment |
We Want Our Idiot Back!: During the "Freaky Friday" Flip episode, Takaharu ends up having Kasumi's mind inhabiting his body. He then proceeds to lay out a well thought plan in a calm manner, which is a far cry from his loudmouthed Hot-Blooded Idiot Hero self. Fuuka's reaction for this is saying that her brother is scary, clearly she prefers the idiotic Takaharu better. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Not surprisingly, Ariake No Kata has her own In the Name of the Moon sequence, but the kicker is the moon actually appearing in it! Done indirectly with Tomokazu Seki as the voice of Nekomata, who's otherwise based off of Jibanyan from Yo-kai Watch (where Seki voices another character, Whisper). In episode 26, they even give him Jibanyan's usual Verbal Tic. Yoshi Sudarso's cameo has him being rescued by Ao Ninger. Yoshi plays the Blue Dino Charge Ranger. This particular reference came full circle when it was revealed at Power Morphicon 2016 that Yoshi's brother Peter was cast as Ao Ninger's Power Rangers counterpart, the Blue Ninja Steel Ranger. | |

Meta Mecha: In its fully combined form, Shurikenjin consists of a smaller humanoid robot (Shinobimaru by default) riding on a larger frame. Bison King has a similar little-robot-controls-big-robot setup, only Rodeomaru is hanging off of Bison King's back; and King Shurikenjin involves both Shinobimaru and Rodeomaru doing their thing. And then Ha-oh Shurikenjin is Shinobimaru sitting in Shurikenjin, sitting in Lion Ha-oh. | |

Catchphrase Interruptus: In episodes not focusing on Takaharu, the focus character will often end up interrupting Takaharu when he does one of the team catchphrases in order to finish it themselves. | |

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_59e0c863 | comment |
Animal Mecha: Dragomaru, Wanmaru (a dog), Paonmaru (an elephant), Lion Ha-oh, and Dinomaru. The Bison King Buggy and the six Gekiatsu Dai-oh components are borderline, as their vehicle attributes tend to outweigh the animal ones. | |

Gotta Catch 'Em All: The 48 Sealing Shuriken originally used to seal the Big Bad Gengetsu Kibaoni. When the seal broke, Kibaoni's power corrupted all of the Shuriken and turned them into the Monsters of the Week. The Ninningers have to get them back, both to stop the monsters and presumably seal Kibaoni again. | |

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_6f66bef7 | comment |
Kinji is this trope through and through as the Japanese American cowboy Star Ninger. It gets kind of Seinfeldian when Yakumo and Kinji have a semantics argument over how they pronounce the word "easy". Though it's kind of jarring because Kinji's arguing that Yakumo's pronouncing it as British people do, while he's pronouncing it with a more American inflection, yet they don't sound like they're really doing anything to pronounce the word either way. | |

Weapon-Based Characterization: The Ninningers have access to a wide variety of weaponry: Cool Sword: The Ninja Ichibantou. Later in the series, Kinji gets a Palette Swapped version called the Gekiatsuto. Handguns: The Gama Gama Gun, a frog-shaped pistol. They double as sensors for detecting the appearance of monsters. Swiss-Army Weapon: The Karakuri Hengen, a shuriken-based weapon that can become either a blade, a bow, or a claw weapon. Kinji: Star Sword Gunnote It's a sword, gun, and electric guitar all rolled into one. | |

Actually, I Am Him: Shinobi 19. The Ninningers are looking for the man who can craft Yoshitaka's Ninninger technology, and in their quest they find a crazy old bugger very much like a Trickster Mentor and a more regular boy who's groundskeeper of the temple they're looking for. Turns out it's the boy who's the actual master, while the old bugger is the spirit of the mecha itself! | |

Make My Monster Grow | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_7fa7b32e | comment |
Make My Monster Grow: Done by Kyuemon using a special shuriken and a magical hammer, a reference to the legend of Issun Boushi. In a team-up, it turns out it works just fine on non-Youkai monsters, such as Roidmudes. Shinobi 26 also demonstrates that it's not limited to monsters in general, as when it hits Chouzetsu Aka Ninger, it makes him grow too! The only ones who don't require that gimmick to grow are Superior Yokai (being made from four corrupted Shuriken at once), and, due to his level of power, Tsugumori Masakage himself. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Takaharu and Yakumo, if their designations are anything to go by. While there's less of the clashing over how to do things that many a red/blue pair have, Taka's a Hot-Blooded fountain of excitability who likes to charge in headfirst while Yakumo is more of a thinker. The same goes for Fuuka and Kasumi, so we sometimes get a red oni or blue oni duo. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: The Ninningers eventually reach the zenith of their training in Shinobi 41 where Tsumuji points out, by using original techniques that their grandfather/mentor (for Kinji) didn't use, for example the Gekiatsu-DaiOh mecha that they have "[broken] away" and "[left] their master behind", completing their training. In response to this, Yoshitaka begins to fade which has its own implications. | |

Leader Forms the Head: A new variation this time, in that Shurikenjin is a Meta Mecha with a "throne" on the chest that Aka Ninger's Shinobimaru sits on. Subverted when using most alternate formations; as these involve different mecha sitting on the throne and Shinobimaru becoming Shurikenjin's arm instead. Some of these formations involve the Mecha Expansion Packs and one (Shurikenjin Drago) puts Ao Ninger front and center instead. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Sasuke and Yosuke admonishes how the Ninningers use the 'Ninja that doesn't hide' as their motto and ninjas should be more hidden. They later admit that such ninjas can exist... and then Akaranger reminds them that their teams are also such things. The joke here is that although the Hurricanegers at least hide among the people in ways similar to real life ninjas, they also have one of the longer and fancier roll calls, if not the most, while Kakuranger is worse due to the Post Modern tone and such things as at one point having a camera crew follow them around. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Yokai Fudagaeshi is really a Squishy Wizard who's the size of a playing card. One ep later, Masakage is revealed to be one as well. Even before this, though, there were times that Masakage seemed to go 'kaboom' monster-style and yet turn up just fine later. Turns out the real, tiny Masakage bailed out of those robot bodies just before their destruction. As seen under Freeze-Frame Bonus, Ariake no Kata is seen in a Hand on Womb pose, but it goes by in an instant. Not much later, enter Mangetsu. When Shurikenger appears, he's first disguised as Tsumuji. In Hurricanger proper, all of his disguises were of other Rangers, actors from as early as The '70s stepping back into (images of) their old roles. You probably took the Tsumuji disguise as a throwaway gag and didn't ask the big question: Why would the guy who only turns into other Rangers turn into him? Should he even be able to? Well, if you did, you get your answer when Tsumuji gets his Nintality back and suits up in #45. Speaking of him, episode 16 also has Takaharu talking about how cool it would be for him, Tsumuji, and Yoshitaka to be a three-generational ninja team. Tsumuji says that would be nice. Again, we'll see it in #45! Also, while the team is helping him pretend to be a great ninja to fool the Monster of the Week, he really gets into it, and reveals that he still has some power left. So, not the Muggle who was never cut out for ninjutsu that we were presented with in the beginning, is he? There is talk about how students eventually grow beyond their masters and leave them behind not long before Yoshitaka dies. Even before his death, we see him fade at points, suggesting that he's being sustained by unnatural means that are not permanent. Sure enough, the End Shuriken is keeping him alive. He loses it to Kyuuemon before we find out one way or another how long it could've kept him going. | |

Imagination-Based Superpower | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_a7f551dc | comment |
Imagination-Based Superpower: The Goton Nin Shuriken. With five elements to play with, further training (and improvisation) unlocks even more uses. Gold (actually metal) summons a bath tin at first, and kunais later on, but its greatest strength is as defense. It can also bind the enemy with chains. Wood can be a blast of leaves when untrained, but can be mastered into more specific uses, like growing a whole parasail. Water is pretty straightforward, but who would've thought to use it for propulsion?note Well, maybe the guys who invented the water-jetpack, but still. Fire is the only one that's exclusively destructive, from a short-range spray to scattered pillars of fire. The Advanced Shuriken Ninpo are even more of this: It's bascially a technique to simulate an illusion by creating a mix of multiple elements. For example, the Boiling Hotpot Technique is a mix of Fire(the heat), Water(the broth), and Metal(the pot/stove), and makes the target feel like they're boiling right in the middle of the hotpot. | |

Color-Coded Characters: It's the first ninja-themed Sentai to feature a Pink Ranger, and also the first team with two females at the start to not be Pink and Yellow since Magiranger (also the first male Yellow since that series.). This trope does not just apply to the Ninningers themselves. It also expands to their Otomo Nin, too: In addition to the first five matching their respective partners', Paonmaru is green, UFOmaru is sky-blue, Rodeomaru is cyan, Bison King Buggy is brown, Surfermaru is purple and Dino Maru is orange. Lion Ha-Ojo, on the other hand, has a triple color scheme of red, white and gold. | |

He then admits that there was a miscalculation, and he thinks now is the real 444th year. In the end, Kibaoni revealed that the 444 years is the length of time he brought Kyuemon forward towards using his Youkai power. | |

Shout-Out | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Star Ninger has this covered - a Western-themed guitar-playing warrior, just like Kaiketsu Zubat. The part of the OP with the Ninningers jumping and hurling shurikens into the camera is actually one to the OP of Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya. Basically foreshadowing his appearance well ahead of time. Wanmaru is a cute dog hiding inside a train, which may remind older viewers of The Littlest Hobo, about a cute dog who traveled across America, usually stowing away on a train, helping everyone it met. In the first episode, Yakumo mentions that he's taking magic lessons in the UK. Kamaitachi's design and behavior draw inspiration from Friday the 13th - it was created from a chainsaw, its face resembles a hockey mask (like Jason Voorhees), and it makes the noise "chi-chi-chi-ha-ha-ha." An orange cat Yokai created from a watch and voiced by Tomokazu Seki? Nekomata is one big shout-out to Yo-kai Watch. It even has Verbal Tics that reference songs from the series. One of the watch faces on Nekomata says "SUN 7:30", or Sunday 7:30am, which is when this show starts! Nekomata's second episode is called "The Nekomata Who Leapt Through Time". In Shinobi 9, Ittan-momen uses his magic to turn Fuukanote and a decoy Kasumi into a rodent, Yakumo later returns the favor by turning Ittan-momen's Jukkarage into turtles, evoking another team of ninja. Just to add to an already awesome moment, Takaharu's Finishing Move against Gabi Raizo is the Advent Children OmniSlash! Starting in Shinobi 15, Masakage starts calling Kyuemon "Kyuubey". Sounds familiar? Also in Shinobi 15, Momo Ninger delivers a Bond One-Liner, "Gokigenyou", to the Monster of the Week, just like Go! Princess Pretty Cure. Shortly before Shinobi 18, Kamen Rider Drive had just done a story about The Lancer appearing Brainwashed and Crazy only for it all to be part of his sting operation, as Yakumo did in that episode. In Shinobi 24, the effect of Franken's Stop Light is near-identical to the Signal Tomarle ability of the Ninninger's second Rider acquaintance, Mach. In Shinobi 25, Takaharu performs one of Kamen Rider Fourze's distinctive gestures (pounding his chest twice, then pointing his fist at the person to whom he's talking). Kyuemon's Machine Kyuubi resembles the Qubeley, from the shoulder armor to fox-head funnels! Seiryumaru is a dragon-themed motorbike, much like Kamen Rider Ryuki Survive's Dragranzer. Gekiatsu Dai-Oh's fighting stance involves it slightly bouncing up and down with both fists raised . Suzumebachi is a female archer who falls in love immediately, which may remind some folks of Carrie Cutter aka Cupid. Kinji being forcibly turned into the next Wolfman Yokai will look familiar to anyone who watched Kamen Rider Gaim. Shinobi 40. Kasumi deals with being in a 'slump' by tripling her efforts and working on more inventions, with patchy results, which was a plot point in Iron Man 3. The fact that she uses bunshin no jutsu to do it also brings to mind Naruto. A fight in the Hyper Battle DVD just decides to say ‘Screw it’ and evoke Attack on Titan. | |

Lighter and Softer: Ninninger is noticeably more whimsical among the cast and episodes (especially with Takaharu) and generally plays this trope straight as opposed to the Cerebus Syndrome ToQger had. It even started a 3-year duration of the Data Broadcast Game before the start of every episode. | |

Highly-Visible Ninja: It's something to be expected when you're watching a show about ninjas fighting using giant robots, but this team outright proclaims it with its catchphrase, "We are the shinobi that don't hide!" Takaharu tries to justify it in the first episode by saying they don't have time to hide. Ninja and Hurricane Red both disapprove initially and fight with a lot more emphasis on stealth but it's later pointed out to them that they fall into that category just as well. Technicolor Ninjas: Averted on a technicality. The trope is about people who manage to be stealthy in spite of being eye-catching, but as stated the Ninningers aren't even trying. | |

Humongous Mecha | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: Called "Otomo Nin". Animal Mecha: Dragomaru, Wanmaru (a dog), Paonmaru (an elephant), Lion Ha-oh, and Dinomaru. The Bison King Buggy and the six Gekiatsu Dai-oh components are borderline, as their vehicle attributes tend to outweigh the animal ones. Combining Mecha: Shinobimaru + Dragomaru + Dumpmaru + Wanmaru + Byunmaru = Shurikenjin Rodeomaru + Bison King Buggy = Bison King Shurikenjin + Bison King = King Shurikenjin Shurikenjin + Bison King + Lion Ha-oh = Ha-oh Shurikenjin Hououmaru + Seiryumaru + Genbumaru + Byakkomaru + Pandamaru + Magoimaru = Gekiatsu Dai-oh Gekiatsu Daioh + Bison King + Lion Ha-oh = Ha-oh Gekiatsu Dai-oh Leader Forms the Head: A new variation this time, in that Shurikenjin is a Meta Mecha with a "throne" on the chest that Aka Ninger's Shinobimaru sits on. Subverted when using most alternate formations; as these involve different mecha sitting on the throne and Shinobimaru becoming Shurikenjin's arm instead. Some of these formations involve the Mecha Expansion Packs and one (Shurikenjin Drago) puts Ao Ninger front and center instead. Mecha Expansion Pack: Paonmaru, UFOmaru, Surfermaru, and Dinomaru. And Kamen Rider Drive's car Tridoron becomes one in Superhero Taisen GP. Meta Mecha: In its fully combined form, Shurikenjin consists of a smaller humanoid robot (Shinobimaru by default) riding on a larger frame. Bison King has a similar little-robot-controls-big-robot setup, only Rodeomaru is hanging off of Bison King's back; and King Shurikenjin involves both Shinobimaru and Rodeomaru doing their thing. And then Ha-oh Shurikenjin is Shinobimaru sitting in Shurikenjin, sitting in Lion Ha-oh. Transforming Mecha: The Mecha Expansion Packs all go from animal or vehicle to humanoid mode, as does Lion Ha-oh. | |

Speaking of him, episode 16 also has Takaharu talking about how cool it would be for him, Tsumuji, and Yoshitaka to be a three-generational ninja team. Tsumuji says that would be nice. Again, we'll see it in #45! Also, while the team is helping him pretend to be a great ninja to fool the Monster of the Week, he really gets into it, and reveals that he still has some power left. So, not the Muggle who was never cut out for ninjutsu that we were presented with in the beginning, is he? | |

The Unmasqued World | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_ebcf99b5 | comment |
The Unmasqued World: Ninjas in this universe are apparently common knowledge, rather like the Kuroko back in theirs. One episode has a ninja obstacle course contest that can still gain a healthy turnout; another one has a small boy that's somehow disillusioned with ninjas. Of special note, one episode has Nagi meeting his career guidance counsellor and putting "Last Ninja" for a career choice on his form, and then admitting that he doesn't know that much about what it entails. The counsellor tells him he should reconsider if it's really the right path for him. | |

One-Steve Limit: Turns out Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (which includes NinjaBlack Jiraiya) and the Metal Heroes' Jiraiya both exist in this universe. Subverted as NinjaBlack Jiraiya really is his given name, while Metal Heroes' Jiraiya is the title of the chosen Togakure shinobi (real name Yamaji Touha). | |

Meanwhile, Star Ninger wields the Furai Nin Shuriken instead where he can alternate between using the Wind and Lightning elements. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: As per recent tradition, they make their debut in ToQger vs. Kyoryuger. The New Year's card game has cards showing all the past Yokai, except for Wanyuudo, who's on a card ahead of his appearance in Ninninger vs ToQGer. | |

When Shurikenger appears, he's first disguised as Tsumuji. In Hurricanger proper, all of his disguises were of other Rangers, actors from as early as The '70s stepping back into (images of) their old roles. You probably took the Tsumuji disguise as a throwaway gag and didn't ask the big question: Why would the guy who only turns into other Rangers turn into him? Should he even be able to? Well, if you did, you get your answer when Tsumuji gets his Nintality back and suits up in #45. | |

Great Big Book of Everything | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_f217cdab | comment |
Great Big Book of Everything: Yoshitaka's autobiography "I am the LAST NINJA". It even includes a chapter or two on "How to build your OTOMONIN". Another chapter was about how Yoshitaka collaborated with master clockwork technician Tetsunosuke Saika to build the Otomo Nin. It was through this that Kinji made contact with him online and had Rodeomaru and his equipment commissioned while he was still in America. | |

Running Gag | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Takaharu always gets his butt burnt from Sealing Shurikens that are about to change into their true forms. Happens to all the Ninningers in episode 32, when their Gekiatsu Otomo Nin Shurikens awaken. Star Ninger futily attempting to take the lives of the Ninningers at the beginning of an episode. It's gotten to the point where, aside from the one being attacked, nobody else in the dojo cares and they simply continue their last conversation. You can probably make a Drinking Game out of how many times Takaharu yells his Catchphrase (see above). | |

Theme Naming | |
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The names of the Igasaki Clan members are weather-themed, mostly dealing with winds. With some of them, their names even show up in their roll call phrases. Takaharu = clear sky Yakumo = thick clouds (hence his nickname) Nagi = calm (as in "the calm before the storm") Fuka = An alternate reading of "kazahana", which means wintery winds Kasumi = mist As for the previous generation, "Tsumuji" (the father of the Igasaki siblings) means "whirlwind", while "Yoshitaka" (their grandfather and mentor) means "fine weather". "Harukaze" (Yakumo's mother) means "spring wind". Also holds true for the Kibaoni clan. Their names come from the phases of the moon (getsu in Japanese): Gengetsu = crescent, Mangetsu = full, Shingetsu = new. | |

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: The first Nekomata, formed from a wristwatch, has the ability to leap through time, while the second Nekomata lacked any sort of function for its watch face. Amusingly, the third Nekomata has a watch face that fills the same function a wristwatch would - it's an alarm that goes off before Tsumuji's disguise wears off! | |
