Tbh, besides the ninja gimmicks, that school doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. Plus, Kirei seems like a decent person to be around with, although I guess we don't know much about her yet.

Hopefully Ittoki can learn something from all this experience.

Ittoki is a newbie in ninja and he has some good points, but he is still very annoying to me. He is fcuking weak and dumb.

btw, the train station's entrance from this episode is modeled after the former Museume-Zoo station in Tokyo.

MC is useless & nice dude Tanjiro
Childhood friend is useless as she doesn't teach MC anything.
Clan is useless for not teaching MC anything before he is off to Ninja school.

Tbh the show lost steam incredibly fast, it's only ep 3 and it's already beyond generic and boring.
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 :)

Please fix the animation... the frames were lacking and most body movements are unrealistically weird to watch but the two new girls are welcome for they're both cute...

The first one seems like a feminine brown?-haired-girl (who the MC falls head over heels for her beauty, SO EASILY?!), a tech-savvy girl is also a nice addition.

then after that, a blonde-girl saved his skin and called her "beautiful"...

Our MC simps on every cute and beautiful girl he sees huh... (are we getting a harem route?!)

I'd like to see some growth from our MC right about now but I guess I still need to wait for a few more episodes... or season...

P.S. The two new girls' characters are a bit static and don't really standout too much but their friendship with Ittoki is wonderful and I'm hoping for more of them.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I hate it. Why his family want he to be a ninja but tell nothing to him? Made it look like a funny clown who knows nothing about ninja. Poor and weak main character. If i was him I should to suicide or die from Koga ninja since episode 1.

Yay, Ninja School, of course it is with this kind of progression for someone who's thrust into the whole ninja business without any know-how.

The one definite thing is to make friends, which par for the course, is given no context, but helped out by Kirei. Unfortunately, the Iga vs Koga clan business has gone too deep, and not even Ittoki's own mum will tell him the context of the story, which if you tell me, is just unfair for Ittoki to know from other people sooner or later.

And already, the first challenge of manju retrieval has Ryoko helping out Ittoki due to his Ninja Suit and Core being of the wrong fitting, along with Ittoki being the potential target of some Koga elites that got to Kirei first.

So, it is, Ittoki lost the trust, but gained his small Kunoichi harem of Kirei and Kyoka.

This show once had potential, but it squandered that potential with contextual sub-text without any care of giving the audience any background.

Yeah ok this show is kinda pissing me off. I’m not even mad at MC. Because his family is literally not teaching him shit and just throwing him in the fire.

And the fucking mask girl is so trash. Like she’s so rude to mc for what? How about you actually help him instead of being disrespectful. The red head girl he basically just met helped him with his suit when he couldn’t move and taught him and she couldn’t do that ?

The blonde girl just leaves at the first sign of trouble like yeah I get it, you just met him but damn show some backbone.

And the mom’s reason for not telling him that other clans want to kill him was what exactly? Like cmon now 😂

The only reason I would keep watching is to see the MC become strong because every other character sucks tbh

So they send him to some random ninja school and tell him nothing about anything that he needs to know for some reason that is beyond my comprehension and think that it will be ok. Like it's not that hard to see why the Ito village is going to die out if this is how they treat its supposedly next chief. But I guess if there was not even this then this whole series would be just too boring. It's also good to see that MC is developing at least his harem if he can't develop his character.

The ninja academy is pretty interesting but of course there's an enemy clan that is bullying the MC but at least he made two females friends and he still has the masked one to protect him and she's definitely great even during this episode... also ninja gears and suit hm I didn't expect that but why not, he did pretty good during the test but too bad he got trolled in the end xD

It still triggers me that he was taught nothing about this all his life, so he's just been thrown into the deep end. Even his childhood friend's on a whole different level to him. I wonder if he's ever gonna catch up/surpass her 🤔

My thoughts exactly. He's in this difficult situation because none of them gave him any insight into any of this, and they seem reluctant to help him too, especially his matey with the mask, as you pointed out.

I can see why the show is currently rated below a 7.

I agree. For me there won't be a next episode of this show. I don't get it why this show score isn't closer to Futoku no Guild. IMO even Noumin Kanren is a little bit better. This anime is just too cringeworthy for me. Worst MC character ever, random harem generator, bad plot, uninteresting characters etc.

Yeah, this one is going to be a no for me because the plot doesn't make any sense. The Iga clan wants Ittoki to be a ninja so bad, but they give him little or no information on how to become one. What's even worse is that they never explained why he was being targeted in the first place, so when runs into the guys from the Koga clan at the school he's completely oblivious to why Koga clan hates his guts. Making Ittoki a bumbling idiot like a deer in the headlights. Those two girls didn't really add anything to the series because they are one note characters that will have feelings for Ittoki just because he was nice to them and build a pseudo harem around him for doing absolutely nothing.

Are people seriously expecting the MC to suddenly be smart and OP despite all these radical changes in his life? Before the reveal, we see that he wasn't that weak in his normal life, was active in school activities, and he was able to dodge truck-kun with finesse. Now he's got a bunch of people trying to kill him, a girl who he thought had legit interest in him attempted to murder him, he's thrown into a ninja school with little training or instruction, his family is hiding a lot of important things from him, half the school hates him for something he didn't do, etc. His supposed bodyguard just ditches him instead of helping him with his suit like the red hair girl did. Can we please give this poor guy a break?

In the first two chapters I understand that Ittoki has not been told anything about the ninja world to "protect" him but you cannot just force him into that world and above all DO NOT HELP him understand BASIC and important things about ninjas, but what is the point to make him one and lead a famous clan? And how do they expect him to graduate if the main character has no idea what's going on around him and the closest thing he has to a "ninja" was being a gymnast? Seriously, not even Kotetsu, who is supposed to be his bodyguard and knows everything about the field, explains.

Man I hope we get to see Kousetsu without her mask sometime soon, plus a backstory on her would be nice.

Regarding Ittoki, it sucks that he is clueless but that is not his fault since no one told him anything, but maybe that is part of his training, to figure things out as he goes along with Kousetsu watching over him. I realize Kousetsu left him behind during the race but Ryoko did help him out so it worked out at the end. I do hope that Ittoki wises up fast and gets stronger to defend himself as I'm sure those Koga elite guys will continue to harass and attack him.

Because the anime community just wants to see a power trip and that's it. There's a reason why shit shows still receive higher ratings and that's because most people do not rate based on what they see but what they expected to see. Honestly, right now, the show isn't anything more then a 6/10 for me but I do not get everyone else shitting on it for dumb reasons. In fact, I think this anime surprisingly has a realistic aspect of a mother/father attempting to control their son/daughter's life and then having that corresponding son/daughter deal with the consequences. It's pretty clear he got no training because the mother did not want him involved as a ninja, just like she was not a ninja, only the father was. But it's also clear the clan still had the duty to keep him up-to-date physically and mentally in case he had to be forced in hence all the clubs/academics he has force to take. All the while still having body guards around him at all times. The MC is a victim of his mother's actions. Hell, I'm convinced that if Naruto had aired today, it would not be popular at all. IMHO

this was better than previous episodes.

not gonna lie they seem like fake ninjas compared to the ninjas in naruto. modern ninjas if you will.

this is intruging enough and i really want to know what happens next. for once our MC isn't OP and it could be satisfying to see him get OP gradually.

the policy of it's ok if you're not found out is so ridiculous lmao. L policy. also L Koga. can't wait to see Ittoki become OP and beat some Koga asses.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
