Blue Shinobi (Special Cat)

Blue Shinobi is a Special Cat that was implemented in Version 2.2 and was formerly obtainable via a serial code from the Nyanko Great War! Strap Set. As of Version 4.3, this method was no longer functionable, thus making it and many other Serial Code cats unobtainable. It was not until Version 12.0 where it received a new unlocking method by rolling the Lunar New Year Event Cat Capsule. In The Battle Cats Unite!, it can be obtained by clearing Greece and Russia from the Empire of Cats chapter ten times each.

==Strategy/Usage==
Blue Shinobi shines best at the Empire of Cats chapter and can play a key role in clearing through stages if unlocked early. What is unique about this unit compared to most clones is that there is no compromise when using this unit, in fact, it has marginally better stats than Ninja Cat and can be safely used in tandem to create a strong force upon the early-game. Just like Ninja Cat's normal and evolved forms, it becomes an obsolete unit when entering later sagas like Into the Future or the Stories of Legends thus the usage drops tremendously overall. It does not even have additional uses outside of being a meatshield such as Talents to improve its stats/vary its usage or Cat Combos to at least make it a possible Combo Slave.
While Blue Shinobi has limited service in the mobile version, the Nintendo Switch version is much easier to tackle and allows it to be more useful due to enemies in the Main Chapters already nerfed as the enemies are given post stats from anti-alien treasures or balanced to be easier. Since this unit can be unlocked the moment Greece and Russia become unlocked in the Empire of Cats chapter, it can easily replace Axe Cat and work in tandem with Ninja Cat. Since The Battle Cats Unite! is in a early-mid SOL meta, there can be some instances in which there are stages that Ninja Cat is a fine choice which also applies to Blue Shinobi.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Sporting a similar outfit to Ninja Cat, however is wearing a blue uniform. Its nose is also white and is sporting red-orange swirls on its cheeks.
*Evolved Form: Blue Shinobi no longer is blue; and has adapted an orange color scheme. Its nose is the same, although the swirl pattern on its cheeks has been changed to two filled-in red dots, a common trait in Japanese anime/manga design.
==Trivia==
*Blue Shinobi is an obvious reference to Kanzo Hattori of Ninja Hattori-kun, while Orange Shinobi's cheeks and color scheme are changed to match Shinzo Hattori.
*Blue Shinobi is among the units that were given multi-hit in Version 6.0.
*Blue Shinobi, Undead Cat, Maneki Cat, Mr. Ninja and Firecracker Cat are the few units that were exclusive to the Nyanko Daisensou before being added globally via gacha event.
*In the Japanese version, Blue Shinobi has a +20 level cap, while all other versions can only have +10.
*While viewing in the Cat Storage, Blue Shinobi's sprite seems to be slightly stretched.
