"Film Version of Nintama Rantaro" Reveals Main Footage for the First Time, with a Serious Turn as Teacher Doi Goes Missing
The main footage from the upcoming film "Film Version Nintama Rantaro Dokutake Ninja Team: The Strongest Strategist," set for release in December, has been unveiled for the first time. The popular anime "Nintama Rantaro" takes a dramatic turn in this theatrical release.
The footage begins with the mysterious disappearance of Teacher Doi, and in his absence, Tasogare Doki Ninjas Zatto Konnamon and Moriozumi Sonnamon step into the first-year classroom, surprising students like Rantaro, Kirimaru, and Shinbei. As shockwaves ripple through Ninjutsu Academy and the search for Teacher Doi progresses, a mysterious man in white robes appears.
The video ends on a poignant note with Kirimaru asking Teacher Doi, "Why do you care so much about me?"—a question posed during a quiet moment in the longhouse they share during school breaks. The intro to "Courage 100%" plays, enhancing the emotional impact of this scene, which differs from the usual light-hearted tone of "Nintama Rantaro," setting high expectations for the movie.
Based on Soubee Amako's manga "Rakudai Ninja Rantaro," this nationally beloved TV anime has been warmly received since its inception. The story for this film adaptation is derived from the 2013 novel "Rakudai Ninja Rantaro Dokutake Ninja Team: The Strongest Strategist," marking its first visual adaptation and one eagerly awaited by fans.
