The Blissful Heaven sword is a family heirloom.
With its diabolic magic,
its bearer becomes master of the world.
The world.
This sword with its demonic magic
should be destroyed for good.
Please ask Lord Jelly-Ear Mushroom for his permission.
No.
I'll keep it instead.
Master!
Give it back!
This is Takuro Seppa's sword now.
It's the summer holidays!
Are you having fun?
I'm Rantaro lnadera.
This is how me and my ninja friends
are spending our summer.
We're carefree and all smiles until today.
Money!
I found you, Kirimaru!
We found you, Shinbei.
"'8 pain!
To your right! No, to your left!
Straight ahead!
Right! Left! Straight ahead!
No, right! I mean left!
Hello, did you see a watermelon?
It's the Dean!
Hello, Ninja Kids.
Looks like you're enjoying summer.
Yes...
Have you finished the Ninja Kids' Companion Book?
The Companion Book?
Remember?
Our summer homework.
If you don't turn it in on time,
you'll have detention right through
to the winter holidays.
So watch out.
I completely forgot!
When does school start?
Tomorrow!
I said tomorrow!
Oh, no! I have to finish it now!
Dean!
We have to go!
Good luck!
What have I done?
"NINJA KIDS!!! SUMMER MISSION IMPOSSIBLE"
You're giving the Blissful Heaven sword to me?
Yes, Captain Happosai.
You deserve to be master of the world.
Right! You really think so?
But you have the magic sword.
Why don't you use it to rule the world?
You're Head of the Dokutake ninjas.
I'm just a Senior Official at Jelly-Ear castle.
I'm unworthy of the sword.
Maybe so.
You could overthrow Ninja Academy
and become their master.
The Ninja Academy?
Well, they are a pain in the neck.
That would be a good first step towards my kingdom!
Head, watch out!
Push me up!
Your head's heavy!
Push me up!
It's so hot.
It's still summer
so why has the vacation ended?
Shinbei, hasn't that bug come out yet?
Shinbei, are you okay?
Have I finished my homework?
No, it's too hard! I haven't even started.
We can copy someone's?
How about Shozaemon? He's smart!
Great! Let's go!
Wait a minute!
Sir, are you okay?
Water! Give me water!
Water anybody?
For drinking or washing your face with!
Kirimaru!
"Kiriko's yummy water" Hi!
That's a girl's kimono!
It improves sales.
Hi, hunk! Want some water?
I am thirsty.
Kirimaru works to pay his tuition
for the Ninja Academy.
Have you finished your homework?
Don't even ask.
Let's copy someone's.
3 breads are better than a bun.
You mean, 3 heads are better than one!
I hate Mr. Doi for giving us homework!
Kirimaru!
You said you'd only work after your homework was done!
Mr. Do“!
You two! When did you appear?
We haven't moved.
Who's the man covered in snot?
I'm a swordsmith and a friend of the Dean's.
My name is Tsujiemon.
I'm Doi from the Academy.
Take me there. I need to tell...
What's up, Dokutake spy?
Help Mr. Doi!
Oh, no! It's pain...
It's pain.
Let's go to the Academy!
Wait! Why did you throw rocks at me?
We did what we could do, sir.
What a botch-up! Why was that spy here?
Let's get going.
0K3?'
Don't ignore me.
Takamaru!
Takamaru is a 4th-grader.
He was born into a family of hair stylists.
That spy was following this man.
Now he won't be recognized.
He'll be okay now.
Let's go.
Yes...
Please take me to the Ninja Academy!
I don't know.
Things always go wrong
when we get involved with old men's problems.
Leave him.
I'll buy all your water!
Follow me, sir!
Hold onto this. Here we go!
This is Ninja Academy, where we train.
We board here and go home in the holidays.
We study hard to become elite ninjas.
It's so quiet.
Where's everyone?
Isn't this the first day of school?
Go to the classroom.
Sir, come with me.
Mr. Komatsuda!
You have to sign this before you enter the academy!
He's a school clerk.
He's too incompetent to be hired as a ninja.
He's not much of a clerk either.
Kirimaru. What are you doing?
One of my jobs is to introduce characters to the viewers.
Okay and who pays you to do that?
Don't tell anyone.
The series creator!
Kirimaru.
Keep it up. Thank you, madam.
Kirimaru, you are always up to something.
The series creator!
Hi!
Oh, my God! Excuse us!
Hurry along!
Wait up!
Our classroom is Grade 1, Class Ha.
Nobody's here either.
How come?
Hey, guys!
"Grade 1, Class Ro"
"Grade 1, Class E"
Nobody's here.
In the whole school.
The clerk's here.
No kids are here because the semester hasn't begun.
Takamaru!
What do you mean?
School won't start for 10 more days.
It's still the holidays.
How come...
Your teachers came up with a scheme.
They figured you wouldn't have done your homework.
So they got you back here for the last 10 days of vacation.
But nobody's here!
They finished it and left.
They did n.
And copied each other's homework.
Let me copy theirs!
No way!
Dirt tastes yucky!
Question number 1.
Name the different sword sections.
I know!
I have an idea.
“R1301.
Yes?
There's something wrong with the pommel.
The pommel?
That's the pommel.
It looks okay.
Silly me! It's the ferrule!
The ferrule?
That's it.
I made a mistake.
H' s the puma!
The puma?
Wait a minute.
Aren't these the answers to your homework?
You're going nowhere!
How could you show up with no homework done?
It's still the vacation.
It's for your benefit!
Why are you here, Takamaru?
I'm 4th grade but I'm new to the school
so I want to study too.
Okay, for the next 10 days,
I'll cram your brains with knowledge!
I haven't even started yet.
Wake up!
Mr. Yamada, help...
Sorry boys, you're on your own.
The Dean has something to say to you.
Kirimaru. Yes.
Don't I get one of those introductory cards?
On Mr. Doi's instructions I'm not permitted to.
Is that what Mr. Doi said?
"Denzo Yamada, Class Ha, Gym Teacher"
Please welcome the Dean!
Dean!
The Dean is unavailable
so I'll fill in for him.
The Dokutakes are causing havoc around here.
They're accumulating large quantities of charcoal.
Doesn't everyone have a supply of charcoal?
Is that bad?
Remember what charcoal's used for?
Gunpowder is made with niter, sulfur and charcoal.
We didn't know that...
I'm sure I taught you that. I have.
So the Dokutake army wants gunpowder.
Correct.
Which means, boys?
Which means...
Which means they're preparing for war!
Use your heads!
MY tummy!
Another nervous stomach?
I wonder why.
Because of you guys! It hurts!
Is there a connection
between their war preparations and our Academy?
Right!
To my right?
I didn't mean that!
Children, come to my office.
Yes, Dean...
Kirimaru, close the shutters.
Yes, sir.
A mysterious sword called Blissful Heaven
has been in my family for generations.
The sword's bearer will be transformed by its powerful magic.
He won't be able to stop cutting anything in sight!
All bearers in the past became masters of the world.
It's been locked up for a long time.
I worried that it would fall into the wrong hands
and consulted an old friend,
Lord Jelly-Ear Junior of Jelly-Ear Mushroom castle.
Lord Jelly-Ear Junior! You mean that old man?
Lord Jelly-Ear Senior is an energetic 91 and still ruling
so his 67-year-old son is still called Junior.
Do you know him?
We helped him catch bandits.
Jelly-Ear Junior and I decided
to destroy the magic sword.
But Takuro Seppa stole it from me.
Who is that?
He was recently employed by Lord Jelly-Ear Senior.
The Lord likes Seppa so much
that he quickly promoted him to Senior Official.
So Seppa has Blissful Heaven.
Not quite!
Rikichi.
Hi, Rikichi...
A card for Rikichi...
Kirimaru, it's okay.
Rikichi is Mr. Yamada's son and an able freelance ninja.
He stole my job.
Seppa no longer has the sword.
Who has it then?
Captain Happosai.
Captain Happosai!
No, wait!
Then he'll be master of the world!
The sword is hidden at the 1st Garrison.
Deputy Official lrejuro is guarding it
along with a war chest.
A war chest!
You're drooling.
To stop us interfering,
Happosai will raid the Academy first.
Oh no!
That's strange.
Why doesn't he raid Jelly-Ear Castle first?
Yes, why?
Because the Blissful Heaven sword
has a lock on its scabbard.
Without the key, Blissful Heaven is just a stick.
Where is the key?
I destroyed the key I had with me.
There is another key.
It's with Lord Jelly-Ear Senior.
So Happosai needs that key.
I have an assignment for you.
You want us to retrieve the sword!
Idiots!
It's too dangerous for 1st graders!
They can go.
Dean, please!
We have 10 more days of vacation.
It's good practical training.
No more homework then?
That's a separate issue.
I have an idea.
If you finished your homework before school begins
there'll be no detention in the winter holidays.
The problems in their homework can be learned on this mission.
You mean it?
Great...
Happosai might raid the Academy or Jelly-Ear Castle.
We can't leave everything to the ninja kids.
Call back all the teachers on holiday
along with the older students.
Yes!
This is a covert operation.
I shall send a smoke signal later.
A spy!
Mr. Konnamon of the Twilight Ninja Squad!
Hi, Rantaro, first aid monitor.
How is lsaku, the first aid captain?
I haven't seen him all summer but I'm sure he's okay.
You two know each other?
It's a long story.
Let's hear it over snacks.
Dumplings anyone?
They look good!
Not now!
What goofballs!
I shall see you all again.
Wait!
Leave him.
We need to get everyone back here.
Dean.
Now the Twilight Ninja knows our plan,
we're out of time.
I will accompany the kids.
Good luck, sir.
Go ninja kids!
Hold it there!
Don't forget your homework.
"Assemble"
Mr. Doi, will we find the answers to our homework?
Question number 2.
How's a tachi sword different?
See the samurai ahead?
He wears his sword with the cutting edge down.
That's a tachi sword.
It's opposite to a regular one.
I see...
We're being watched.
"From now, we're in serious mode"
The Academy ninjas are coming.
"Dokutake Castle, 1st Garrison"
They're moths flying into a fire!
Once we defeat the ninjas from the Academy,
there'll be no opposition.
Eventually, my Dokutake army
will conquer the world!
My head...
The 1st Garrison is up there.
We'll sneak in.
Yes...
Number 3. What is the Separation Method?
It's a strategy to ensure all parties
make it into enemy territory.
The most skilled go first
while the least skilled are last.
Oh, really!
I got it.
It means Mr. Doi goes first.
In this case, Takamaru goes first.
I'll piggyback Mr. Tsujiemon and go last.
Shinbei, your turn.
I don't think I can.
Come on, tough guy.
Don't you want to be a good ninja?
Yes, I want to be one.
Let's go then.
Can I have some advice?
Take a leak first...
Okay!
High five!
Great! You're almost done!
I did it all by myself!
Hooray, Shinbei...
Are you ready?
Out of the way!
Oh, no!
W-degree tum'.!
What was that noise?
Enemy invaders! Shoot to kill!
Over there! Get them!
Wasn't number 4, Raccoon Hiding in the Tree?
Yes! We got number 4!
This isn't the time for homework.
The teachers are getting shot at.
Gather together!
They're assembling.
That means that the Garrison is unguarded.
They don't know about us.
We can get the sword!
Where would it be?
You've come a long way, kids!
A Dokutake ninja!
It's Mr. Dung...
It's Mr. Doom!
You got through our security!
You kids used the Coward Method.
The cow?
Lamb?
Lamb kebab!
The Coward Method!
What's wrong with your ears?
Nothing. Look!
I'm an idiot wasting my time on them!
Mr. Dung!
It's Mr. Doom!
What's the Coward Method?
"The Coward Method" You invade after pretending to retreat.
They didn't know that.
That's number 5!
What's going on?
It's homework.
We have 3 out of 8 to go!
You think you're funny? Eat this!
My turn!
He caught it with his hand!
Here, kid!
Amazing!
You're too puny to pull this stunt.
It's called the Reversing Wheel!
The Reversing Wheel!
That's number 6!
2 more to go!
Reversible Boot and Tickle to Death.
Hey, cut that out!
Oh boy! You're awesome, Mr. Doom.
You have amazing skill!
Am I that good?
Do it again!
I want to see it again!
You're a genius ninja!
If you insist. Okay, throw it again!
Not at the same time! You cheats!
Where did this come from?
We have Blissful Heaven sword.
Rantaro, Kirimaru, Shinbei.
That's impossible!
There it is!
That's where it is...
I'm Shinbei from Ninja Academy!
I'm Kirimaru.
And Rantaro!
Don't resist. Just return the sword.
And please tell us where the war chest is.
You cocky ninja kids!
I won't give up the sword!
Here's Denko, the handmaiden!
I'm actually Denzo Yamada from Ninja Academy.
I sneaked in first disguised as a fair handmaiden.
Don't throw up! Stop it!
I thought I hired a beautiful handmaiden!
She was a ninja in disguise!
Whoever would think this is beautiful?
Did I say anything wrong?
Have I, DePUYY?
It's a tricky question.
Let's go home.
Because I have this!
When did you...
Catch!
Don't play with it.
You little brat, give it back!
Catch it!
I'll buy it for 10 gold coins! Mr. Yamada!
Sold!
I have Blissful Heaven now. Pay up!
Who are you?
"Freelance ninja, Teruyo wants the sword too" The coins...
The sword!
It's out of the scabbard!
That means it's fake!
That's right!
You Ninja Academy fools!
That is a fake Blissful Heaven!
What?
This is the real sword.
You almost had it, looser!
Get them!
This is a perfect chance to try out the sword.
Get ready to die!
It came out.
That's not real either.
What...
The real one is locked so you can't draw it out!
Impossible!
Looks like you've been fooled!
"Jelly-Ear Mushroom Castle"
Happosai must be so disappointed.
Yes, sir.
Now I have the real Blissful Heaven.
I will be...
King”
I can't draw it!
What?
Takuro Seppa fooled me!
You almost had it, looser...
Be quiet!
Happosai.
Maybe you tricked me and our Lord too!
You plotted this so you'd be King!
No, I wouldn't dream of it.
I've had enough of all of you!
Nobody leaves alive!
Father!
Rikichi!
Escape now.
Where is Kirimaru?
All that gold!
We have to go!
No!
Which do you choose, your life or money?
Money.
Kirimaru!
You're after the sword?
Yes.
Money! It's mine!
Hurry!
Wait for me!
Mr. Yamada!
Slop!
Money!
It's just a tack.
Are you okay, Takamaru?
1st graders, I've come to rescue you!
Moniiro!
I'm in charge of first aid.
Baku!
I bet Koheita isn't happy about staying behind.
Why did I have to stay behind?
It's so unfair!
You lost Rock, Paper, Scissors.
I want to fight too!
Everything has gone wrong.
Fumitsumaru!
Yes.
There's one thing we can do.
Find Tsujiemon!
Bring him to me!
Mikiemon, I'll join them.
Get trigger happy.
Thank you, Senzo.
It's party time, Yuriko.
Retreat! Head back to the Academy.
Not yet!
The sword must be at Jelly-Ear Castle!
Our homework depends on it!
And the winter detentions!
Come on, Mr. Tsujiemon.
Me too?
Only you know if the sword is real. Come on!
Rantaro! Guys!
Go, Mr. Yamada!
Okay!
You too!
You're a big drinker, Lord Jelly-Ear Senior!
Here's a treat.
What is it?
Towering sake cups!
I've heard about this!
Marvelous!
No other castle is as happy as mine!
Maybe it's a bit excessive.
Have some more!
It's not excessive.
We should thank Mr. Seppa over there.
exactly!
Seppa.
You have my appreciation!
No, really.
More importantly, I wanted to ask if Blissful Heaven
has a secret lock?
Not that I know of.
That's right! It's time.
Follow me, come on, girls!
Have some water, Candy.
You too, Catharine.
This here is Caroline!
Your turn, girls.
Catharine!
Give some water to Cabba-ko.
Well done. Now this one!
I can't walk.
You two.
Do you hate winter detentions that much?
“R1301.
We can't let you go unsupervised.
We'll join you.
Where is Rantaro?
And Mr. Tsujiemon?
They went to get water.
Here, sir.
Thank you.
Tell me if you're tired.
I know first aid.
Thank you.
I found you.
Tsujiemon.
I'm glad you're back safely.
Mr. Doi and two 6th graders
followed Mr. Tsujiemon and the 1st graders to Jelly-Ear Castle.
Rantaro...
"Ninja Kids' Companion" Rantaro...
It's Rantaro's.
Oh, no.
Head!
You asked me to come.
Hello, Happosai.
What does the Dean of Ninja Academy want of me?
We have company.
I'm Konnamon of the Twilight Ninja Squad.
Your scheme sounds intriguing.
Now the 3 of us are here, let's talk.
You mean, this is Seppa's plot
so that he can be the king of kings?
Yes.
He tricked me with a dull old sword!
He didn't want any of you to go to Jelly-Ear Castle
so he tricked me into distracting you!
I fell for his plot!
What shall we do now?
Get your Dokutake army to attack us.
What? Just pretend to attack us
so Seppa has a false sense of security.
Great plan.
We don't want Seppa to be the king of kings.
If that happens, we'll all be history.
I see. So Seppa's enemy is my friend.
So we won't attack your Dokutake army.
It's a deal.
At daybreak we shall destroy the sword key
and set about destroying Seppa's malicious plot!
We're going to do it!
Tomesaburo.
Yes.
Let go of me!
Confess! Where is the key?
If you don't talk...
Tickle...
Confess!
Mr. Yamada!
Make sure you eat it all up.
That's a lot of food!
Shinbei eats more than anyone.
Dean.
Good luck.
Yes.
Let's go, lsaku.
Yes.
Good luck on your mission!
We'll destroy the Ninja Academy. Go!
Old man Tsujiemon won't confess.
The Dokutake army is attacking the Ninja Academy, sir!
Good.
The Twilight Ninjas will join them.
This is a lifetime opportunity
to be master of the world!
We must seize the moment at all costs!
We need to locate the key to unlock the sword.
Have our ninjas on standby to attack Jelly-Ear Castle.
Yes.
Good cucumber.
Soldiers, get off your butts!
Very well.
Since we are here,
maybe we can help ourselves to their gunpowder.
We'll empty their armory.
Please don't!
He'll me!
Stay away!
Yuriko here might convince you.
Like they say, lies lead to stealing.
Dokutake ninjas can't be trusted.
Have a bite of this!
Pass.
Set.
Bang, bang, attack!
Leader, we could raid the empty Dokutake Castle.
No.
They're not the enemy this time.
Leaden
Can you not sit in that ladylike way?
Why not?
"Bunny-Poop-Mushroom Domain"
This place...
It's Bunny-Poop land.
T om: aka'.!
Yes.
And that's what they want?
That's the Dean's request.
He wants your people to join the fight.
Agreed.
Thank you!
I'll select my best men to join your force.
We don't need you, father!
'Ne have Mr. Show.
Some things are better unsaid.
Being a dad is tough.
It's dark here.
Mr. Show.
Let's stop here and eat.
Yes.
Those boys must be starving by now.
I can't walk.
Once we're in town, we'll find somewhere to eat.
Pick up your feet, Shinbei.
Come on!
I'm so hungry.
Hang on, Mr. Tsujiemon.
They'll rescue us.
Thank you.
The guards were talking about that prisoner.
He was locked up for being mad.
When they put us in here last night,
I saw him fold his clothes neatly.
Would a crazy man do that?
That is strange!
Before he lay down,
he bowed towards the window and mumbled.
I can hear him now.
It sounds like he's calling Junior.
As in Lord Jelly-Ear Junior'?
Excuse me.
I'm a friend of Lord Jelly-Ear Junior.
My name is Rantaro. I'm a 1st grader at Ninja Academy.
And he is...
I'm Yoemon, I used to be Jelly-Ear Castle's Senior Official.
Lord Junior told me all about you.
How did you end up in jail?
What about you?
Because Seppa framed me.
This is fish not chicken!
I heard a funny rumor.
Veteran officials at Jelly-Ear Castle were fired.
Seppa convinced the Lord to fire them!
Rikichi.
What did you learn?
I know who Seppa is.
He says he's a samurai employed by Lord Jelly-Ear.
But he's actually a Bunny-Poop ninja.
A Bunny-Poop ninja?
So Seppa is a boot planning to take over Jelly-Ear Castle!
Owl?
Hoot...
Not hoot but boot.
We call an undercover ninja a boot.
He gains a foe's trust and double-crosses him.
Like turning a boot inside out.
A so-called Reversible Boot.
Reversible Boot! That's number 7 of the homework!
I must have dropped it.
One more to go.
Yes, Tickle to Death.
Mr. Doi, what is Tickle to Death?
It means... I won't tell you!
Don't be stingy...
So Seppa is an undercover spy.
That's why he had veteran officials kicked out of the castle.
Why does he suddenly want to be a king?
He probably heard of the Blissful Heaven sword
and wanted it for himself.
Jelly-Ear Castle is probably full of enemies now.
We'll go anyway-
We have to rescue Rantaro and Tsujiemon.
We will and we'll stop Seppa from achieving his dream.
How will we enter the castle?
I know! We're friends with Jelly-Ear Junior.
Open the gate!
We're hereto see Jelly-Ear Junior.
He hasn't paid us for catching the bandits yet!
You may come in.
Are you sure?
I expected you.
Great.
Wait! There are so many of you.
We're street performers.
We'll perform for the Lord!
I'm Osen, the dancer.
What a looker. Come in.
He's a master of disguises.
Lucky Mr. Yamada didn't come in his disguise.
You called?
Hi, Denko is here!
I need a bucket...
Are you sick, boys?
A bucket...
Where's Rantaro?
He and the old man were probably abducted
and locked up here.
I see.
Our strategy?
Musketeers are on stand by when we need them.
We will wait here ready to disable the enemy.
We won't go to the castle?
We're snipers, young lord.
Snipers.
I wish your father was here.
We don't need him. We have you!
Why is it darker here?
Are you okay?
You wait here.
We want to see Jelly-Ear Junior.
I'll tell him. Stay here.
Have some sake.
I appreciate it.
This is good!
Take this off and relax.
That's a good idea.
I'll massage your feet.
Thanks!
The men are so laidback.
Things have become lax with Mr. Seppa.
Jelly noodles!
Do you want some?
Hey, cutie. Give me a cup.
I made so much money!
What's he here for?
Find anything?
There are no ninja here.
Seppa fired them all.
And the former Senior Official?
He was fired for mental instability.
The people loved him.
There's a rumor
that he tried to murder Seppa with his sword
and was locked up.
It's a Fuse Blower.
What's that...
Mr. Yamada, when you're disguised as a woman, you're ugly!
What? That's an example!
Of a Fuse Blower!
Perhaps that's how it went.
If I finish off the old Lord and his son...
You'll go too.
You villain!
"Fuse Blower" Oh, no! Help!
Stop it immediately!
No! Let me go!
That's how a Fuse Blower goes.
That's not in the homework.
We're wasting time.
Tell us about Tickle to Death and we'll listen.
It's pain...
You slackers!
Wait! Kirimaru,
did you say people loved the former Senior Official?
Who told you that?
My customer bought noodles
to give to him in the dungeon.
That's it! Rantaro must be there too!
Let's find the dungeon!
I know where it is.
Behind this door is the dungeon.
Do I know her?
Greatjob, Shinbei!
Can we rescue Rantaro?
Yes, but I want you boys to do a little trick
so we can frame Seppa.
Is it Tickle to Death?
No, it's called Firefly Chase.
I know how we can rescue Rantaro.
How?
We'll use father's technique.
Who are you?
We have meals for Sir Yoemon.
I've never seen you ladies.
But you're all lookers.
You may pass.
I'm more beautiful!
Tell us how we do the Fireﬂy Chase...
No!
Don't, Mr. Yamada...
Rantaro...
I'm here!
You are okay!
Captain! You're okay now.
Mr. Tsujiemon.
This man is the former Senior Official.
Drink up!
Reporting!
Suspicious characters were caught loitering in the grounds.
Is that so?
"To Mr. Seppa" Yes. They had this letter on them.
It's for Seppa.
For me?
We received the castles floor plan.
The Bunny-Poop army has Jelly-Ear Castle surrounded.
Standing by for your signal to attack.
For your eyes only.
So you are a spy on an undercover mission?
It's news to me.
Bring me the captured men.
Yes.
A mini lecture.
Firefly Chase is a ninja technique.
Just like a glowing firefly
a ninja attracts the enemy's attention
and leaves a letter for him to find.
Hey.
Yes. Fix this with duct tape.
Yes.
Keep walking!
The prisoners!
Who are they?
Hello, Shinbei and Kirimaru!
Jelly-Ear Junior...
Why are you here?
And why did you have this letter?
We got paid to deliver it.
The Bunny-Poop ninjas were trying
to find a way into the castle.
I told them it was easy for us because we know you.
So they asked us to deliver the letter.
Did you say the Bunny-Poop ninjas?
We have a more pressing issue. Excuse me madam.
You haven't paid us for capturing the bandits.
I'm sorry.
Girls, leave us.
Excuse us...
Back to you, Seppa.
What do you make of this letter?
The letter?
Okay, gentlemen.
We'll pass the guards as naturally as possible.
Look down and quickly pass through.
We're ready.
Okay. Let's go.
Yes...
Excuse me.
You may go.
Excuse me...
The ugly one, stop!
What? Me?
You're the former Senior Official!
Didn't I tell you to act natural?
Jailbreak! Yoemon has broken out!
Spread!
Why do you help us anyway?
Jelly-Ear Junior!
Yoemon, where have you been?
Sir, this man is a ninja scheming to take over the castle!
He wants to be the master so
he's after the key for the Blissful Heaven sword!
Is it true?
It's a blatant lie.
Arrest this man! Hey you!
Yqu!
Intruders! Stop them!
There's one!
Watch out!
You'll be okay, I'm in charge of first aid.
It's you!
Get her!
It's started.
Aim!
Fire!
Mr. Seppa, we're under attack!
I'm done.
He's a Bunny-Poop ninja!
There's your proof, father.
Seppa is a Bunny-Poop spy ninja.
You're sleeping!
Rantaro...
Kirimaru! Shinbei!
Jelly-Ear Junior!
Senna, you villain!
Give me back my Blissful Heaven sword!
There's no way out of this!
0K3?'
You asked for it.
I wanted to get the key using peaceful means but...
Stop, Senna!
Bunny-Poop ninja squad.
Attack!
Stay alert!
My vegetables!
Leave my veggies alone!
A sniper should remain invisible at all times.
Rantaro! My leg! It hurts!
You've squashed my vegetables!
Your attention!
Father!
Jelly-Ear Junior, where is the key to the sword?
I'm not kidding, Jelly-Ear Junior.
Where is the key?
0K3?'
The key is right here.
This unlocks the Blissful Heaven sword.
Lord, are you okay?
Whoever unlocks the sword will be the master of the world.
Now it belongs to me.
It worked.
I unlocked it.
Behold!
The Power of Blissful Heaven!
Let go of it!
Give me the sword!
Look at that!
I want to cut.
Chop!
And slice!
What's this?
What's going on?
Rantaro, no!
I want to chop more! Give me more vegetables!
I have to chop more!
This is awesome.
The Blissful Heaven bearer is obsessed with cutting vegetables.
He can peel and slice to perfection.
The best veggie peeler.
So the bearer wants to cut...
Vegetables.
Not mph'?
I never mentioned killing people since the movie began.
What about being the master of the world?
The master chef.
All history's masters had chefs
who used the Blissful Heaven sword.
The masters were energized
by food prepared by the sword.
Well Chopped!
Mr. Seppa, you can keep this.
No!
Captain, it's yours.
No, thank you!
Teruyo?
Mr. Seppa!
The Twilight ninjas are raiding our unguarded castle!
Oh, no!
Leader, there's no time for that!
Leader!
Our Lord wants you to leave for good!
Who cares about this castle anyway?
Retreat!
Ninja Academy students!
The victory chant!
What makes a good ninja?
Guts...
Thank you, Ninja Academy students and teachers.
You saved our castle.
As for you, father,
think about how your carelessness started this crisis.
Call back all the officials Seppa laid off.
I have a resolution.
Will you retire?
No, I'll be a better sovereign Lord.
It's time you quit!
This is what I get for all my trouble.
A plate of cabbage.
What will you do to Blissful Heaven?
I'll make kitchen knives from it.
A sashimi knife, a butcher knife, and a vegetable knife.
The best knives in the world!
Your summer holidays are over. Ready for school?
We didn't finish our homework.
We missed Tickle to Death.
We'll have winter detention.
Rantaro, Kirimaru and Shinbei.
You already used the Tickle to Death technique.
You used it to defeat a Dokutake ninja.
You're awesome!
You have amazing skill!
If you insist. Okay, throw it again!
You tickle your enemy's ego so he drops his guard.
You cheats!
That's Tickle to Death.
That means...
You were told to finish your homework on time.
And you did!
No winter detentions!
We have no detention but
we have 10 times the homework we had in summer.
Mr. Doi...
We hate you...
