Ninja Cadets English Sub & Dub

About Ninja Cadets

Ninja Cadets (Ninja Mono) blends adventure, comedy and supernatural by unknown (1996). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: During Japan's feudal era, there was a war between two ninja clans: the Byakuro and the Kabusu. One night, the Kabusu staged a fierce attack on the Byakuro castle in hopes of kidnapping the clan's infant princess.

Along the way, their assignment was foiled when a loyal ninja of the Byakuro flees the attack with the princess and disappears, before long raising her to be a ninja. Several years later, six ninja trainees are given a task to infiltrate the Kabusu-occupied Byakuro castle and retrieve a sacred scroll to complete their training. Their skills are put to the test when they encounter three members of the Kabusu, who use dark sorcery in an attempt to once again capture the princess - who happens to be one of the trainees.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by unknown, so the studio's house style defines how Ninja Cadets looks and moves on screen. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 5.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 1996, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
