Hey Gaijin! Since you’re talking about Tokusatsu, you might be interested that Kamen rider recently got two Ninjas! Its a short spin off series, but Kamen Rider Shinobi might have something for you! Just thought id let you know!
@@FoxyPercival714 Another Shinobi's Suit even got re-used under another paint job as Shinobi's Shogun arch enemy in his spin off. And this doesn't even get into Woz Shinobi - one of the other Riders using the Shinobi powers, utilizing several techniques with it such as the Bushin, the Kiwarimi and so on, although he uses a spear instead of a sword. Honestly ZX, Shinobi, Yattori, Another Shinobi and Woz could all make up their own episode. Or two if they wanted to focus more on ZX who, with the Kamen Rider Spirits Manga, has more material than the other four.
Tbh KR Shinobi may have the color of a ninja, manage to hide his identity as a ninja with multiple techniques, the "Ninpo" in the spinoff really has me saying not a ninja. I say at least 3-4 out of 10 for the ninja being Frog based and done many ninja techniques, but the idea of them using Ninja magic is stupid
Still probably better representation than Hurricaneger ( Ninja Storm) or Ninninger (Ninja Steel) though... On the other hand the wind-up clockwork mech in Hurricaneger is still the most interesting theme for a Sentai mech... Ignoring the teleporting weapon ball theme...
Never heard of it before, but from the way he shuddered, I am nervous about googling it. I've seen some of his past sponsored content if he can do that without flinching, just how bad is this series?
@@Zarvain according to the steam page its from the same publisher who made NekoPara. So it seems like its basically that but all the catgirls are also ninjas.
While I’m a bit bummed that the Kakurangers didn’t earn many stars for historical accuracy, I’m glad you featured them anyway! More people need to know about Power Rangers’ source material. One down. Two to go. (Hurricanger, Ninninger)
This might be a stretch but the other weapon in the kakuranger's starting kit, the kakulaser, resembles a flint lock pistol but fires laser beams. How accurate these ninjas are when they adopt laser technology is dependent on how they treated fire arms and new advancements in general historically.
Thanks so much for doing this! I’ve wanted to know your take on the ninja-themed Super Sentai teams for ages. Any chance you’ll eventually follow this up with analyses for Hurricanger and Nininger?
Good grief they might get some credit for doing some actual Ninja things like the Hurricangers actually knowing and practicing some basic jutsus including how the elemental powers actually tie into Shinobi practices and arguably weapons, and how for Nininger the weapons are for the most part reversed engineer, and how some of the Niningers weapons mostly notably Nininger Gold's Ninja Guitar are created from seemingly normal objects.
@@reddiz2182 Yes, I do believe that there will be more evidence when silksong releases, but there is still a lot of evidence from the trailer. And there is a little bit from the original game.
Hey gaijin i just had to say man you've been going hard with these ninja videos but not just going in but going deep in depth in the history and design of armour i can tell your not an average man i really respect you and admire you as a man thanks you teach many young children things throughout the world you must realize this thanks young falcon
@@dnprime1737 I would love to see an analysis on the fruit warlord. Maybe even an analysis of Gaim as a whole, as it was described as a modern day Sengoku era.
So glad I subscribed, Power Rangers and Super Sentai will never stop being awesome, thanks for the video Gaijin. Can't wait for Yokai Watchers I hope you talk about the kyuubi no kitsune at some point.
Please my dude, do a video seeing how accurate the Ninja from Ninjago are! Those TV show Ninja take particular influence from various eastern cultures and at least on of them wears blue (and I know how much you like that color)! Considering how Ninjago is probably the most popular Ninja property in the West (after the TMNT) I think it would be enlightening to see an analysis on their accuracy! :-)
The Gokaiger credits with the Super Sentai rap, for the Kakurangers, calls them pop-culture ninjas. With this episode of Which Ninja, I've gained some insight into that line.
Thank you so for this episode! As both a huge tokusatsu fan and a fan of this show, I can't tell you who big of a smile it brought to my face. I can't wait to see more content and learn on about culture I was never quite sure on how to fully dive into myself!
Ooof, Double Edged Question there given that the Sentai did a lot to try and act that way and... well Samurai is well known to be hamstrung by trying too hard to stick to it
@@mrmiscellaneous105 That's annoyingly true and not even the fault of the writers, but Tzachor - the director. See Linkara's History of Power Rangers for Megaforce for that explanation, because annoyingly some of Samurai's best parts are when they divert from the plot - like say, Lauren being Jayden's sister compared to the unrelated nature of Takeru to the Shiba clan, because it allowed for some more personal scenes and relationship between the two.
The thing you have to remember about sentai, is that whatever their theme or motif is, they are super powered/amplified by whatever magic or tech their suit is providing. Thus the exaggeration of their ninja magic or powers.
Space Kraken I mean, aside from wearing black and red he’s honestly pretty close! He emphasizes stealth, fighting is a last resort for him and the rest of the Phantom Thieves, he utilizes numerous tools (items and weapons and even two ninja tools in Smash) and they’re pretty darn focused on stealth when going into palaces! Plus they emphasize information gathering as well as treasure stealing, especially helped by the Security Level system! And let’s not get started on tool crafting, hiding their identities, confidants and even social links or we’d be here all day!
BrainWave Productions That’s what I was thinking too. I mean, he uses stealth and you should prioritize sneaking up on shadows. Also, just like ninjas, he uses the elements to help take down foes.
Alright i didn't think about this until now, but but an interesting thing to do is to talk about the Dynasty/Samurai warriors Ninjas. Who is the closest to accurate and who is the farthest. I mean they are all far, but still. an episode of multi part episode on them would be cool
Gaijin Goombah Media Plz do Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir Cultural reference and Which Ninja And Gegege no kitaro 2018 episode 23 about 3 Yokai in the show
Sup gaijin! Ive been Watching your content for a while now.(nearly almost all of it) the which ninja series is practically my favorite, I've learned so much about this stuff because of you.( and a little research of course) I really do hope this series is still here in the future to analyse more ninja to come! Love you guys!
I think these guys are way better ninjas then there future successors the Suriken sentai Nininja. There battle cry was litrealy "the ninjas that don't bother hiding." Uhhhhh such a bad season
awesome video, i really love this analysis on fictional ninjas, actual ninjas on history, and super sentai / power rangers. i would like more super sentai stuff, and even naruto analysis please.
We don't hate Power Rangers (at least not all of us), we're just tired of people who say Super Sentai = Power Rangers. It's not the same. It can often be very similar, but it's not the same. There are plenty of people who can like both equally, but we don't call it the same thing. No hate, we just know our facts. :)
I had a smile on my face the whole time because it’s great to see Super Sentai getting referenced on a big American UA-cam channel! Now cover the Hurricangers and Ninningers! YOU EVEN SAID TOKUSATSU YYYYYYEEEESSSS!
Speaking of Johnny Yong Bosch, Sanada Yukimura and the 10 Braves. Bosch voiced Yukimura in Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, the Basara anime, Samurai Warriors 3 and Warriors Orochi. So his work has him pretty close to various ninjas, Sasuke in Basara, Kunoichi in Warriors, ninja inspired Yosuke in Persona, Sasori in Naruto, Yoruichi in Bleach.
The story of Sanada Yukimura (or his real name Sanada Nobushige) is actually even greater than you described, Goombah. His father and he fought Tokugawa forces twice and won both times at their home, Ueda Castle, both times having way fewer men than the enemy. The Second Battle of Ueda, Sanada father and son used few thousand men to stall 38 thousand Tokugawa forces from joining the Battle of Sekigahara. After being imprisoned to a mountain village by Tokugawa Ieyasu for going against him, he escaped just in time to join Toyotomi Hideyori at Osaka Castle. At there, he recreated the legendary Akazonae of Takeda. Commanding his Akazonae from the stronghold of Sanada Maru, a small fortification of Osaka Castle, he defeated the new Tokugawa Shogun forces at the Winter Battle of Osaka, leading the Tokugawa forces suing for peace. Later at the Summer Battle of Osaka, he charged directly into Ieyasu's position, cutting down all the forces standing in the way, legend says that Ieyasu almost committed Seppuku as his position was overrun. After this battle, he was called "The Greatest Warrior of Japan". A total badass.
Just a quick note In a previous episode, you said that Ninja used large square shaped kites to glide in the air. In Breath of the wild, Link’s paraglider has a predominately square shape and is used to glide long distances.
I wondered when you would cover Super Sentai, GG. Now that you've done Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, I wonder how the other two Ninja Sentai teams would stack up. Those would be Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.
The football attack was drawn directly from earlier Sentai seasons, most notability the first team, Goranger. The "team weapon finisher" usually the BFG cannon type but there have been exceptions, like Gaoranger/Wild Force's sword weapon, wouldn't arrive until the latter half of the second season, JAKQ and their "Big Bomber"... which unlike later seasons was an actual cannon, looking like someone had swiped it from the set of a pirate movie.
Still waiting on "How Ninja is Sam Fisher" from the splintercell series to drop. Other than that, I loved the episode and i really hope i can see more. The passion you put into this series clearly shows in the quality of the content.
I love this show and thank you for making it so amazing Gaijin
As soon I saw sentai gotta watch
I love to analyze sentai and kamen rider and seeing stuff that's hidden
zavala? when did you become a king? ikora the queen? ;)
I can not whait for the One Piece review/Culture Shock of the latest ARC.

Same. Actually, most of these names I know because of Sengoku Basara.
I know most of the guys mentioned in Gaijin's shows cause of Tokiden.
You should eventually follow this up with the other two ninja themed Sentai series. Hurrikenjer and Ninninjer
no please do not do ninninjer
We don’t need ninninjer keep that away
Honestly after seeing kakuranger's analysis, I'd hate to see what they do with ninninger.

Hey Gaijin! Since you’re talking about Tokusatsu, you might be interested that Kamen rider recently got two Ninjas! Its a short spin off series, but Kamen Rider Shinobi might have something for you! Just thought id let you know!
ZX is a ninja too.
hurricanger and ninninger would be cool to see. Finishes all the Ninja so far
I can also attest to that. No spoiler but there is a counterpart called Another Shinobi that uses those metal claws as melee weapons.
@@FoxyPercival714 Another Shinobi's Suit even got re-used under another paint job as Shinobi's Shogun arch enemy in his spin off. And this doesn't even get into Woz Shinobi - one of the other Riders using the Shinobi powers, utilizing several techniques with it such as the Bushin, the Kiwarimi and so on, although he uses a spear instead of a sword.

I say at least 3-4 out of 10 for the ninja being Frog based and done many ninja techniques, but the idea of them using Ninja magic is stupid
Well, I agree with Gaijin. What do we all say?
"REAL NINJA WEAR BLUE!!"
But not that particular shade of blue.
Kakuranger: Why not both?
Just like Ryu Hayabusa of NINJA GAIDEN fame.
Can we get a video on "Kamui" in anime and it's cultural meaning/history?
Still probably better representation than Hurricaneger ( Ninja Storm) or Ninninger (Ninja Steel) though... On the other hand the wind-up clockwork mech in Hurricaneger is still the most interesting theme for a Sentai mech... Ignoring the teleporting weapon ball theme...
Tbh, I liked how they introduced Sherikenger and that badass electric shamisen.
Don’t underestimate Karakuri!!!!
Neko-Nin? Is that something I want to know about from your shudder? o_o
now I wanna see him cover it just based on his response ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°
Never heard of it before, but from the way he shuddered, I am nervous about googling it.
I've seen some of his past sponsored content if he can do that without flinching, just how bad is this series?
@@Zarvain according to the steam page its from the same publisher who made NekoPara. So it seems like its basically that but all the catgirls are also ninjas.
While I’m a bit bummed that the Kakurangers didn’t earn many stars for historical accuracy, I’m glad you featured them anyway! More people need to know about Power Rangers’ source material.
One down. Two to go.
(Hurricanger, Ninninger)
Now that you've covered kakuranger, expect requests for hurricanger and ninninja.
Neko-nin?
...I am both terrified, and intrigued.
I'm just terrified. Sorry Gaijin.
This might be a stretch but the other weapon in the kakuranger's starting kit, the kakulaser, resembles a flint lock pistol but fires laser beams. How accurate these ninjas are when they adopt laser technology is dependent on how they treated fire arms and new advancements in general historically.
Do Kamen Rider Shinobi
or maybe kamen rider ZX
I think he is the best kamen rider
either that or Kamen Rider Hibiki
So we're not talking about Gaim and the Sengoku?
What about the kamen rider gaim

Mr. Goomba, I applaud your ability to argue with yourself on a weekly basis, I love the content you make
8:49 Ninja actually used brass knuckles? That's freakin' amazing!
Kozuki Sasuke. One of Japan's Finest Ninja. Basically unknown outside of his name and rep. Arguably, this makes him even more Ninja.

Eh i'd say 3 of 10 . Those colors are way to bright.
@@insaneboy338 To be fair it is following the Super Sentai formula with those colors.

well, there has to be some "bad ninja" reviews in between of the "good ninja" ones
The characters and plot were also inspired by Journey to the West.

Truuuuuue.
Since you started with Kakuranger, you better follow up with the rest of the ninjas in Super Sentai/Tokusatsu!
waiting on gaijin goomba to get to ninja of ninja....SHURIKENGER!

Well that's a change. Usually the Goomba is the skeptic one and Gaijin has to convince him.
In your new show can you do a video on blue exorcist
YES! I've been waiting long for this, thank you!
Are the power Rangers samurai really act like traditional Samurai
Yes...and no
Ooof, Double Edged Question there given that the Sentai did a lot to try and act that way and... well Samurai is well known to be hamstrung by trying too hard to stick to it
Well, given they essentially copied the Sentai... yes?
The ranger series was terrible was super Sentai shinkenger that’s more like samurai
@@mrmiscellaneous105 That's annoyingly true and not even the fault of the writers, but Tzachor - the director.

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger has the best Sentai theme song.
*Change my mind*

Nah, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.
I'm with the samurai song
Shinkenger and Gokaiger are my favorite
Hurricanger is a bop tough
"That's a lot of o's"
Kamen Rider ooo: challenge accepted
Gaijin Goombah Media Plz do rokurokubi
the fact that gaijin has conversations with himself throughout these videos makes me very concerned about his mental health.
I think these guys are way better ninjas then there future successors the Suriken sentai Nininja. There battle cry was litrealy "the ninjas that don't bother hiding."
Uhhhhh such a bad season
and they hunted youkai for some reason
Daniel F. Well Kakuranger did the same thing too
awesome video, i really love this analysis on fictional ninjas, actual ninjas on history, and super sentai / power rangers.

Seriously Tokusatsu fandom we get it. You hate Power Rangers. GET OVER IT!
We don't hate Power Rangers (at least not all of us), we're just tired of people who say Super Sentai = Power Rangers. It's not the same. It can often be very similar, but it's not the same. There are plenty of people who can like both equally, but we don't call it the same thing. No hate, we just know our facts. :)
I think it would be awesome to watch a Which Ninja episode on Sly Cooper! :D I think he has the tools and tricks be be a good ninja!
I’m so glad your covering super Sendai it’s so underrated!!!!!
oh lord, NekoNin... why
also is refreshing to see Lil' G doing the Ninja defending this time =P great episode as always
I had a smile on my face the whole time because it’s great to see Super Sentai getting referenced on a big American UA-cam channel! Now cover the Hurricangers and Ninningers!
YOU EVEN SAID TOKUSATSU YYYYYYEEEESSSS!
Actually, season 2 used footage from DAIRANGER. Season 3 was the only season that used Kakuranger footage.
Sad to hear about the whole "Double demonetization" thing. Glad this vid finally got out! Great work.
Speaking of Johnny Yong Bosch, Sanada Yukimura and the 10 Braves. Bosch voiced Yukimura in Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, the Basara anime, Samurai Warriors 3 and Warriors Orochi.
So his work has him pretty close to various ninjas, Sasuke in Basara, Kunoichi in Warriors, ninja inspired Yosuke in Persona, Sasori in Naruto, Yoruichi in Bleach.
It’s a decent start. They’re at least using the tools somewhat accurately.
4:50 my man is such a good ninja that he could even hide what little we knew about him
The story of Sanada Yukimura (or his real name Sanada Nobushige) is actually even greater than you described, Goombah. His father and he fought Tokugawa forces twice and won both times at their home, Ueda Castle, both times having way fewer men than the enemy. The Second Battle of Ueda, Sanada father and son used few thousand men to stall 38 thousand Tokugawa forces from joining the Battle of Sekigahara. After being imprisoned to a mountain village by Tokugawa Ieyasu for going against him, he escaped just in time to join Toyotomi Hideyori at Osaka Castle. At there, he recreated the legendary Akazonae of Takeda. Commanding his Akazonae from the stronghold of Sanada Maru, a small fortification of Osaka Castle, he defeated the new Tokugawa Shogun forces at the Winter Battle of Osaka, leading the Tokugawa forces suing for peace. Later at the Summer Battle of Osaka, he charged directly into Ieyasu's position, cutting down all the forces standing in the way, legend says that Ieyasu almost committed Seppuku as his position was overrun. After this battle, he was called "The Greatest Warrior of Japan". A total badass.
I love the fact that you forget while watching that this is one man talking to himself.
before this even starts I am horribly aware of the most recent Ninja sentai whose battle cry consists of "we don't hide, we rampage".
i've been waiting for this since the Black Ranger episode
Same!
I look forward to the inevitable Linkara crossover, where you tackle the Ninja Electric Guitar that popped up in later seasons.
At least one of them wears some form of blue.
Please do more episodes on Kakuranger in the future! Also. Please talk about Hurricanger/Ninja Storm and Ninniger/Ninja Steel.
With the reference to Jinpachi and Tekken, you should do a cultural analysis of the Tekken series sometime.
This actually made me wanna rewatch the show
Huh, a role reversal, with Gaijin being the skeptic and Goombah being the advocate? Interesting. Great video, btw, guys!
Kurenai from Red Ninja, Strider, the guy from Ninja Blade, Joe Musashi, Hotsumo & Hibana from the Shinobi/Nightshade series & Isako from NOLF when?
Just a quick note
In a previous episode, you said that Ninja used large square shaped kites to glide in the air.
In Breath of the wild, Link’s paraglider has a predominately square shape and is used to glide long distances.
You've done Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. Now let's see Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger
Wooot another dose of my favorite youtube channal
I wondered when you would cover Super Sentai, GG. Now that you've done Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, I wonder how the other two Ninja Sentai teams would stack up. Those would be Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.
7:29 Never expected to see a Starfleet Combadge utilized as a throwing weapon...
9:35 Yes! A Mythbusters reference! I remember that episode and was wondering if you would ever catch it.
The football attack was drawn directly from earlier Sentai seasons, most notability the first team, Goranger. The "team weapon finisher" usually the BFG cannon type but there have been exceptions, like Gaoranger/Wild Force's sword weapon, wouldn't arrive until the latter half of the second season, JAKQ and their "Big Bomber"... which unlike later seasons was an actual cannon, looking like someone had swiped it from the set of a pirate movie.
Great work as always! Keep it up!
