Oh, it was before 1990. I was a teenager in the 80s and there was a lot of ninjas in movies, cartoons and graphic novels by 1987, I’d say, with it all starting before then.
They never left, they just got better at Ninja-ing so you aren’t noticing them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtR2m20C2YM
In Denmark we have a rather popular trilogy of books/movies called Ternet Ninja which is about the vengeful spirit of a samurai who gets trapped in a little ninja doll and teams up with an awkward teen boy in a boring Danish neighborhood where everybody is a bit crazy.
The trilogy, outside of just being a lot of goofy fun, is actually also a bit of social critique of child labor in third world countries and how we in the west benefit from children’s suffering.
The man behind Ternet Ninja is a Danish comic who’s been making children’s entertainment for years and has this extended universe where Ternet Ninja fits into. The topic of child labor and western exploitation of children is a reoccurring theme in a few of his storylines.
If they were good ninjas we wouldn’t have known about them.
Apparently it’s still the 90s in BotW-era Hyrule because I can’t hardly go anywhere without getting ambushed by banana-obsessed ninjas.
When you think about it, the ninja you see has already failed (unless of course there’s a second ninja using the distraction).
We should Ask A Ninja what happened.
I refuse to believe this series is 20 years old.
They clearly got better at it.
Ninjas, then vampires, then zombies, followed by superheroes.
You forgot pirates.
Ninjas -> Pirates -> Vikings -> knights cyclus
Zombies -> vampires -> werewolves have a similar rotation
Wu tang is for the children.
Go ninja go ninja go ninja GO!
GO. GO. GO. GO!
Wait, no, come back!
That’s Real Ultimate Power!
Batman is a ninja too.
“We weren’t ‘online’ we did lines! Yeah! And there were fucking ninjas on the lawn trying to kill us!”
