Supah Ninjas is a Nickelodeon live-action Ninja-themed show. Mike Fukanaga's grandfather (George Takei) recently passed away, but it's not long after that Mike (Ryan Potter) and his best friend Owen (Carlos Knight) discover that he took a few secrets to the grave with him after they find an entire secret ninja dojo under Mike's bed. Now it's up to Mike, Owen, and the Love Interest Amanda (Gracie Dzienny) to fight off all the baddies who appear in their town. Also Mike's dead grandpa appears via hologram and trains him and his friends the same way everyone else in his family trained to be ninjas, excluding Owen's father, a cop, who must not know about all the secret business going on right under his nose.Several story arcs tie into the plot as well, largely focusing on Mike's family's ninja background, and that not everyone uses their powers for good. However, you might find it hard to keep up with due to Nickelodeon never airing a single preview.

 Supah Ninjas / int_792e11ec
comment
Dance Battler: In "DJ Elephant Head", the titular Villain of the Week is helped by two backup dancers that also can back him up when it comes to fight. Their fighting moves are actually a mixture of martial arts and dance moves, and the two henchwomen fight in tune with the music and synchronized with each other. Amanda comments that it looks pretty, but the heroes are also able to use it against them to read their moves.

Stout Strength: " Two Ton Harley" is about the eponymous member of a biker gang who was formerly a seven foot tall bean pole. After the rest of his gang was put in jail he put on massive amounts of weight so he could literally throw it around and bust them out by breaking through walls and bending steel.

comment
Bluff the Impostor: Mike tries to do this to Jellyface when the latter is in the guise of his dad, but it fails because the impostor has done his homework. However, Mike already knows he's a fake, with or without the bluff. The thing that tips him off? The impostor said that Mike "would make a great cop someday." Mike's father doesn't think Mike can be a cop.

Fatal Flaw: Amanda's is that she has trouble accepting anything less than perfection for herself. She gets over this in "Checkmate", following Hologramps' advice that "The perfect ninja knows there is no such thing as perfection" Checkmate has one similar to the above, in that he never learned how to accept when he was beaten.
