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.
