Ninja: Difference between revisions

Line 44:

* Recca and several others in ''[[Flame of Recca]]''.

* The [[OVA]] version of ''[[Sakura Taisen]]'' slyly acknowledges the origin of the traditional ninja garb-- The stage crew of the Imperial Theatre -- the secret headquarters of the Flower Division -- are all ninja, and ninja with all manner of "ninja magic" at that.

* The [[Canon Foreigner]] Sasuke Sarugakure in ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~|Ranma 1/2]]'' subverts the character type by being borderline incompetent (he's clumsy and has virtually no combat capabilities, but is a master of stealth and can move too fast to be seen) in a neighborhood filled with world-class non-ninja martial artists. In the manga, [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] Konatsu plays it a little more straight. Ukyo Kuonji uses a spoof style that merges archetypical ninja moves with cooking tools.

* Similarly, the ninja in ''[[Ninin ga Shinobuden]]'' are incompetent ninja who usually don't even carry shuriken; when they all suddenly produce shuriken and every one hits its target, causing another character to think that maybe they are skilled after all, one calls his mother on a cell phone to tell her that he has touched a shuriken for the first time.

* Takamura Suoh from ''[[CLAMP School Detectives]]''.

* You'll get a Ninja no matter what Branch you go on in ''[[Vanguard Bandits]]''. What type of ninja they'll be is path-dependent though.

* Though they're technically not ninjas ''per se'', the armor for the [[Murder, Inc.|Dark Brotherhood]] in ''[[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim]]'' certainly looks the part. The Brotherhood's signature skills also mesh fairly well with the assassin part of the trope.

* The protagonist of ''Robo Aleste'' is Kage, a ninja piloting a [[Humongous Mecha]].

* Chipp Zanuff from ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' is an American Gaijin who learns the art of ninjutsu. Unfortunately, [[Highly-Visible Ninja|he's rather loud and yells "FIND ME!" when trying to hide himself]].
