by The first trailer for “Nintama Rantaro the Movie: The Strongest Tactician of the Dotake Ninja Team ” has been released. The curtain rises with the intro of the song “Courage 100%,” which is familiar from the TV anime “ Nintama Rantaro,” but has a more serious atmosphere than the usual “Nintama.”
The latest movie version of ” Nintama Rantaro ” is an adaptation of the novel “Rakudai Ninja Rantaro: Dotake Ninja-tai: The Strongest Tactician” written by Kazuhisa Sakaguchi, who also wrote the screenplay for the TV series. A story of fierce battles and bonds begins with the shocking development of “Mr. Doi going missing.”
Our heroes, led by Yamada-sensei and the sixth graders at Ninjutsu Academy, embark on a search mission when their beloved Doi-sensei goes missing after a duel with the Tasogaredoki ninja Moroizumi Cinnamon. Meanwhile, the ‘first-year group’ remains oblivious to the unfolding events, until a sinister force known as the ‘white darkness’ disrupts their peaceful lives.
The first special report unveils a series of unexpected events. The Tasogaredoki ninjas, Kunamon Zawatari and Tonnamon Moroizumi, mysteriously appear in the ‘first-year group’s classroom, taking the place of the absent Doi sensei. This leads to a string of dramatic encounters for Rantaro, Kirimaru, Shinbei, and others. The suspense builds as Kirimaru’s voice echoes, ‘What’s wrong with Doi-sensei?’, and the ominous words ‘White darkness approaching Ninjutsu Academy’ accompany the image of a man clad in white.
As the video draws to a close, Kirimaru’s poignant question to Doi-sensei, ‘Why do you care about me?’ resonates deeply. The bond between the two, nurtured during their shared moments at Ninjutsu Academy, is palpable. The image of Doi-sensei, his face serene, standing before a pensive Kirimaru in their humble abode leaves a lasting impression.
“Nintama Rantaro the Movie: Dokutake Ninja Team’s Strongest Tactician ” is directed by Masaya Fujimori, who also worked on “Nintama Rantaro the Movie: Ninjutsu Academy Everyone Dispatches! ”, and the original author Sakaguchi himself wrote the screenplay, in charge. Ajiado will continue to oversee animation production for the TV series. She was released in December.
