| Well, this is getting more serious in terms of the actual ninja exams. I mean, lives might be at stakes? Honestly, it felt like these exams were much more about just becoming a certified ninja. It sounds like being part of that school and the exams is a sentence for a shorter life. |
 |
| inb4, someone from Koga killed their ex-chief and blamed Iga because they wanted to use his body for an experiment, maybe something like trying to create a genetically modified super ninja, and start a war. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| WTF so the real traitor is the blond girl uh, I'm fine as far as we still have Kousetsu xD |
 |
| Blonde girl was always sus smh. It always be the cute ones |
 |
| Plot starting to picking up, i like this episode. Ittkoki won, kinda hitting Suzaku with TALK NO JUTSU. and of course it's the Blonde Girl. i knew something was wrong, she was too nice. |
 |
| cheap and predictable, probably my last episode |
 |
| Figured there was more than one traitor, with both that guy and blonde girl but I wouldn't be surprised if there were even more traitors as I don't fully trust gadget girl, Satomi, either. That was a strange exam and no one is held responsible for the explosion and Suzaku for the attempted murder? Ok then, at least Kousetsu is badass and, in my opinion, carrying the show. |
| For the ninja school, exams are part-and-parcel of life, and sadly for Ittoki, it feels like nothing has gone in his head of what's happening...or rather, due to the horrible writing, he isn't really given a heads-up. The Koga chief Minobe Kishinmaru's assassination in the midst of another war between it and Iga, and Suzaku poised to become its next leader, who knows why he has to die willingly just to ready the next heir (just like Ittoki). And all of this demarcated for the end-of-term practical exam, Ittoki is bound to hit a snag due to Kousetsu's whims, and unfortunately this was his trigger point. His pep talk with the Ninja Academy's headmaster to clear up his doubts, it certainly helped him quite a bit. Truthfully, having a traitor in this case is also part-and-parcel of what it means to be a ninja, and at least Ittoki braved up to face Suzaku, and ran for as long as he can to avoid killing him, which he survived the ordeal. But aside from Tokisada knowing that Shione is tailing him, never trust blonde characters like Kirei, working for Suzaku. Just let the genericness steamroll... |
 |
| This series such a miserable cause, and I swear that twist in the end just rubbed me all more in the wrong way. Can't believe I sticked this long. |
 |
| I don't know. The ninja exam was underwhelming. I think you can watch it, but you have to turn off your brain. The ending was the only interesting part of this episode. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Blonde was a traitor all along. Exam was okay, good thing Ittoki survived.

Only a true ninja runs like this. 😊 |
| You mean to tell me that you sent your kid to a ninja school without teaching him anything about ninjas, but also without knowing anything about the school? School is literally parenting 101. For his background, Ittoki's behavior and talk no jutsu makes sense I suppose, but that doesn't mean that it's not annoying. While we found out about the "actual" traitor, I'm still suspicious of the girl from the Saiga village, and I'm surprised that not even Kousetsu indicated any suspicions after the test. |
 |
| So, it looks like the plot thicken when Itokki's uncle see what can be looked like as Minobe Kishinmaru in a tank, were them Koga's making a clone of him or what? Well then just as I think that the red head is the snitch it turns out it was the blond who's the snitch. I wonder why didn't Suzaku kill Ittoki when it looks like that he's hellbent on revenge ? |
| Fuck, this show sucks soooooooooo goddamn much, very close to dropping this shit. Thank goodness it's only one cour in length. Secret ninjas, training school, family history, how can they make such a concept so incredibly dull and coma inducing? |
| The mc is so fucking pathetic that it's annoying to watch So the blonde girl is a spy huh, well not surprising |
| So she was the real traitor all along... |
 |
| Honestly, wasn't expecting her to be the traitor. Just expected them to go the really obvious route, but they managed to get me. |
 |
| A few surprise during the test and in the air duct. Can't say the end was one though. One thing. If the mask was prototype, what are the Koga doing with it? |
Ashhk said: WTF so the real traitor is the blond girl uh, I'm fine as far as we still have Kousetsu xD Same. More than one traitor? Kousetsu's the hook that keeps me watching, essentially. |
| So this might have been the best episode yet, character development wise. I felt bad for the Koga heir to be (redhead) as he has GOOD reasons to want revenge. Gotta really start to wonder why the "pacifist" leader was killed, and if the Iga really did so? If his father did kill the Pacifist Koga, then he's still got blood on his hands through his clan. The "frail" guy leading the Koga now ... seems to be very suspicious. Wonder if he's really responsible? I'm starting to hate the MC and his inept mom. He really needs to get with the program and figure out how to keep himself alive because luck and plot armor can only go so far before viewers give up on stupid writing. |
 |
| I'm soooooo tired of weak pussy MCs. Like seriously, what's the purpose of him being like this? Sure, it makes sense if we take the story into account, but the story itself is so insanely dumb that it'd be better to just forget it and at least make him likeable. |
| This chapter wasn't that bad. I'm a little glad that the main character has the same goal as the old man from Koga who died, there may be development of the main character later. |

I don't know why more people aren't talking about this. that was one of the things that again is pissing me off. They put this huge hook out there where she is saying no one else is going to have disguise type Ninja tools and they happen to have the same exact one she gave him....... and no one's going to ask her about that! This is almost as bad as when the Uncle said to the mom hey maybe we should tell him what's going on and give him all the backstory..... Mom says nah! Or when he's never used a single ninja tool in his life and when he asked for help from his supposed childhood friend who knows he has zero clue what he's doing...... she scoffs at him and says not enough training! Also for the first time ever someone with apparently more than one brain cell has the bright idea to finally fucking ask...... why would the Iga want to kill the Koga leader, but her supposed superior in the Ninja police says.....that doesn't matter they be mad now so who cares about the why.......fuck this show! So many things are just wrong with this show. The ninja rules apparently have no power what so ever. Like everyone is killing everyone apparently so whats the point. Also in last episode the ninja tool family head talked about how he doesn't want his daughter to take over. So their clan is just going to go legit and get out of the world of ninja....... so why the fuck didn't his mom do that after the dad died.... well let's just end it there, my husband's dead I don't want this way of life for my son so much I'll keep it secret from him. nah JK let's keep going but just for shits and giggles let's also not tell my son he is gonna have to maybe keep the family going.....ugh For real one of the worst animes I've ever seen in my life. Rant over, it's just every new episode makes me more confused and angry. I won't be surprised if I went to get a check up after finishing this anime and my doctor told me I had testicular cancer.... cuz this show will give people cancer or the downs.  |

If this is between the worst you have seen… I totally agree, it's hard to find this level of stupid plots wholes and plot armor at the same time. Although there is also a lot more of trash out there... (sigh) |

| pretty generic and lame but well it is enjoyable to watch. it's getting really irritating to watch mc's who are being targeted to killed being all, "it's bad to kill" and such shit. i'm in disbelief that shizuaku didn't kill ittoki there just because of ittoki's small lame ass speech. the school has a rule which says no killing but it doesn't do anything to prevent that. can they not even monitor their students? use some drones or shit man. irroki's patheticness is almost on par with the mc of platinum end. platinum end mc got a contender finally. the whole anime is full of bullshit. all we can do is turn our brains off and enjoy. |

| It's been a long time since i've watched a show with this level of bad, generic and forced writing. Only reason i don't drop it on the spot is because i don't like dropping short shows. |
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 :) |
| I really wish the MC wasn't so utterly useless. also what's the point with the girl who always wears a mask. You're at a ninja school, everyone knows you're a ninja and hiding your mouth doesn't disguise who you are. |
| Koga always 1 step ahead of Iga. So the first traitor was a guy who did it out of fear but Kirei is just simping for Suzaku. 19:32 she can finally relax...Kousetsu is truly loyal. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Meep is that blonde lass really the spy! If I ever need to hire a ninja body guard I'm totally going with Kousetsu. That girl is badass! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |

Hey Buddy! I was going message you to see watching. Anywho... Every point you made me cringe almost as bad as it did when I saw it. At this point I'm just rubber neckin' cuz this show is a disaster. I'm still trying to figure out why a ninja clan/village would agree to be led by a non-ninja. That was my first huh moment and they just keep rolling in. The only reason I watch is it gets posred in my moment of boredom. It's not the worst I've seen, but it's far from the best. Oh and keep you testes far away from cancer causing agents. Go commando once in a while. ventilation! |
