| This was probably the most generic way to conclude the show with its final battle. Hell, there's even a little bit of buildup in this finale. At least our main ninja girls survived this mess even if it was exhausting. I guess the positive in this is that Ittoki did become strong enough to be a ninja after all. However, I felt the finale was underwhelming overall. |
 |
| Koga's 2nd planned Iga attack with all pretenses taken away...and rather, Iga has the upper hand with Tokisada, Kousetsu and Ittoki all going straight for the kill, along with Kyoko and Kirei, and the traitorous Ban as support to make amends. Especially for Ittoki, donning the Iga's secret Ninja Core has its benefits, though at the cost of wearing his stamina. And facing Kidou together with Kousetsu, the amount of Talk no Jutsu is quite fitting to get back at the Koga chief for all of the innocent lives lost for the plan at world domination, including his mother, all as testimony of evidence. And talk about an intense confrontation to get all dirty and bloody, Kidou is just too strong being a human cyborg against a mere human like Ittoki. To the end, it only took Tokisada to take Kidou's life and escape on his own as a wanted fuigitve by taking the blame. For real, there's even a timeskip, and everyone living their renewed lives...so what's the point of the whole show again? Easily one of (if not) the worst show of the stacked season bar none, the ONLY good achievement acclaimed because at the very least, Farming Isekai was better than this by a mere point. Everything was there just to incite coincidence and nothing more. What wasted talent. |

| ah damn its over :(( not just the worst this season but one of the worst i've ever seen. kind of an achievement considering how stacked this season was tbf. if anything, i'll kinda miss seeing kousetsu. |
 |
| In the end, Ittoki still needs to be protected by someone. oh gosh... It's the 12th episode but he still be the same ol' Ittoki. After I saw that gun, I knew in an instant that Kidou will pick it up and shoot at Ittoki. And I also thought that Kousetsu will protect him and die. Because Ittoki was not doing anything about Kidou and that gun! He just left it there and left Kidou lying down without any restraint like nothing happened there. But, well... oh well..., it was Tokisada who can kill Kidou in time and sacrificed himself as a fugitive for protecting Ittoki. Honestly, this series has potential but Ittoki is too weak, too soft-hearted, and too optimistic in this cruel world. They also wasted their time on the first few episodes which were about the ninja high school playing. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| "Underwhelming" isn't even the word I would use to describe this series; it just felt like it was constantly fumbling all its attempts to be either profound, deep, thrilling, or fascinating. |
| "You don't need a reason to help people." ~Zidane Tribal |
| so kousetsu now become a wife of ittoki right ?? im so glad can see kousetsu without mask |
| So much wasted potential. So much Chekov's guns that turned out to be a dud. So many questions still unanswered. Shame, because visuals were already very good. The only way for redemption is a sequel, but it's hard to imagine and it ended on "The End" note. |
 |
| Kaga Tokisada remains a legend till the end. Quite a peaceful ending, good thing we got a timeskip and got to see how everyone's doing. Grown up Kousetsu is beautiful. No confirmation on Kousetsu x Ittoki except for the fact that she called Yumika mom which might be a hint at that but oh well. |
 |
| Anime was slow and boring in its first half then it seemed to be getting more interesting, but the ending was underwhelming. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| The finale was an absolute joke, everything was just tied up with no care at all. Kidou's motives are so lazily written it's a head scratcher. You're right Ittoki, ninjas don't actually exist, only ninja tech does. |
| This is now one of my worst anime of 2022. |
 |
| I did expect a more spectacular ending, it was kinda meh tbh :( That's a 6.5 to me, as I am not the complicated to satisfy regarding fictions ahah |
| hm atleast it was a happy ending for everyone. So yeah. Hm. It was okay i guess. Haha. The fight was good for the low money they had, so i will count this. 5/10 |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| This was an interesting anime to watch for me as it started slow and was all over the place but around the halfway mark it started getting interesting, especially with the swerves including Kirei being a spy for Koga, finding out that both Satomi and Kousetsu had chips implanted in their brains, glasses wearing lady being a backstabber and killing Yumika, etc. Also, finding out that Koga screwed every village and not just Iga was a little surprising since that helped bring Kidou's downfall. I do agree that Ittoki was too soft and his uncle ended up potentially saving his and Kousetsu's lives and now lives as a fugutive (who knows maybe he retired to a place like Hawaii and is living a more comforable life). Anyways, I give this a 7/10 as I still mostly enjoyed it and I think it was wrapped up decently showing what the surviving characters were doing. |
| Ugh, that epilogue was so lame. Whole show was lame.. |
| Disappointing ending! 1) No kiss? Wtf, 2) Kousetsu didn't even laugh, 3) Uncle is lost without trace, he probably got lost in the village hidden in the leaves, 4) Ittoki now is a random office worker instead of using his skills productively. 😕 Overall, pretty lackluster show. Very few interesting ideas or characters. |
VenomEmperor said: Anime could have been a lot better if they cut out the ninja school part especially when the meat of the plot is the political tension. People seem to have low tolerance for an MC struggling to adapt to a radically new situation so having it skip to where he's good would do wonders. He did play us because of that ruse to catch the traitor and because he was planning to record Kidou's statements. Uncle is best character and come on, we need that Uncle x Shione ship sailing. It was funny when she expressed frustration about being unable to catch him again. If uncle went like "but you captured my heart," that would be the smoothest confession of the year. I want a romcom spin off of them being cat and mouse. All the animation budget went to the fist fight and I'm not even mad. I second every single thing you wrote here. The political tension aspect was quite interesting and led to the best moments of the series. The school was just some excuse they needed to not make the main character a "capable" ninja out of the blue. I honestly didn't hate the series. It felt like it could be better if they had taken better decisions on the script. |

| Koga's able to wipe out every ninja village but Iga with ease...but the non-affiliated NSC can somehow oppose them with no trouble. NSC looks the other way as Koga murders every other Ninja, but Tokisada is branded a murderer for killing the Koga chief who is about to shoot Ittoki in the back. Yeah, this show never made sense from the beginning, starting with keeping Ittoki in the dark for 15+ years, then forcing him to face the truth with almost no preparation, to trying to turn it into a battle school romcom for 2 episodes. |
| Thank god it's over. The only reason why i didn't drop the show is because i don't like dropping short shows. Except the final fight (and even that was kinda generic) this show has absolutely nothing going for it. |
I'm not reading any replies or comments directed at me at all. I know my truth and if you disagree: that's fine but i couldn't give a damn about :) |
| there's something called overwhelming then there's underwhelming. this finale comes several levels below underwhelming. just tf was this? garbage generic cliche finale. no stakes. no tension. no emotions. just underwhelmness intensified at every moment. and after all this they don't even bother to expand upon kousetsu's life and where she's going with that suitcase or what is ittoki's job or what happened to the secret ninja core or what happened to the iga village etc. koga's chief turned out to be an extremely weak villain character. man was just edgy and indulging in self-pity which made him want to deprive others of what he never got. and what a shitty treatment to give tokisada the goat character after all he did. he might as well be the mc of this show, he surely has done more than ittoki and was more revlevant and important than ittoki. i still think that it was a shitty choice to give the secret core to ittoki. it would have been far more utlised if tokisada would have used it. man could have solo'd everyone and come back without a scratch. that reminds me that i don't think ittoki has developed at all througout this anime. he's still the same person but with abilities of a ninja. that's the only thing that has changed. blandest and worst anime mc i've ever seen. even platinum end mc was tons better than ittoki man. kirei becoming actress and her reason for becoming one is kinda hilarious but well nice i guess? overall 6/10 for this after being generous and because i don't like to rate anything i even mildly enjoyed at some point below 6. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| unfortunately kousetsu wasnt enough to make this better, i will give it a 6 cause the plot got kinda better after the mother death. this had potential tho, kinda wasted |

| glad this mediocre mess is finally over. Stopped enjoying this at like episode 5 but I have too many dropped anime and decided to just bear with it. Kousetsu should have had WAY more screen time and focus, maybe it would have been a 6/10 |
 |
| lmao, I must have missed the part where Itokki became such a badass, what a hilarious final episode. So glad this trash is over, 3/10. Worst anime of the season. |
| I was looking for rom ance in this anime but iw as disappointed oh well Theres no on going manga to read either just engage kiss this was disappointing |
| Expected ending, I just wanted Kousetsu to saty with Ittoki but it is what it is |

| I really wasn't expecting this to be the end honestly, thought there might be a season two. I'd say as far as conclusions go they managed to wrap it up really quickly. This might have been a better series if it wasn't restricted to the 12 episode structure. |
 |
| Yea sorry, Troyca one good fight scene at the end couldn’t save this train wreck. Dude literally has the guy who had his mom killed and so many others at knifepoint and gives him some power of friendship shonen mc bullshit???? Event after everything he’s been through ittoki is still an idiot. Best part of this show was kosetsu and I’m glad she got a happy ending. The short hair looks awesome on her and it seems like she’s been away from the village doing some travelling for a while. Kirei looked cute as an actress too. Definitely a forgettable show. |
 |
| Wow so bland. Tokisada nailed it, but that's the only thing that matter. Kirei become an actress and lies to make people happy, she said. Lmfao such a truth. Redhead boy substitute my death man Tsuda, feelsbadman, and the redhead girl ofc substitute her father. While Kousetsu? Bruh why don't make her to be Ittoki wife for making thing more interesting? Alas, they did this. Wow its such a bland. 3/10, just because im a kind person. |

| Went from kids in ninja school to straight up murder and backstabbing. Honestly this anime was so over the place that it actually turned into an entertaining anime. Not that it makes it good however. It was average at the end of the day. The budget definitely went into that last fight between Ittoki and Kidou which was really good. Short hair Kousetsu is a W. |
