Flinching

Flinching is an mechanic in Ninjala. When a player is hit by an attack, their ninja will flinch and become unable to move or escape for a brief moment of time. A form of flinching is also becoming Dizzy. When hit with a dizzying attack, a ninja will spin around in a wobbly circle, dazed and unable to move. If utilized correctly, players can make opponents unable to break out of flinch traps, or stun locks, with a series of planned attacks. Thus, easily earning themselves a K.O. or IPPON.

When a player has enough S-Energy, they can S-Burst out of a flinch to enter a parry if the opponent is still attacking. However, if the player does not have enough S-Energy, little can be done to escape besides hoping the opponent stops attacking long enough for the player to make their move. Whether it be escaping or retaliating.

Super Armor is a temporary power-up players can achieve when performing certain attacks. When the power-up is in play, ninjas with it will not flinch for a period of time, which can prove useful in many situations. However, players can still take damage and be defeated, so it's best to keep an eye on the health bar while it's in play. Being in Gum Bind state with Super Armor is also not recommended, as flinching while being attacked helps ninjas break out of the gum faster than not flinching.

Short Hair Appearance Reference

**Base age for reference:** About 15 to 17 years old.

**Hair Color:** Orange/Ginger

**Eye Color:** Aqua

Now… there are cases where Yukari Takeba does have some traits in when it comes to hair, but it wouldn’t be an accurate comparison. For a start, the eyes and default look is not quite what I had in mind.

Misty’s HGSS hair style would be more accurate in that respect.. until you get to the part where the bangs are messy and less tame.

In any case, it looks a bit like a cross between the styles.

Build-wise the girl I am trying to describe is curvy, well built, yet athletic. She has assets, but she’s not flabby either.

**Hair and face… mostly**

**Body type**

**And… as a body-type alternate**

Gum Ninjutsu

**Gum Ninjutsu** is a powerful attack in *Ninjala*. There are various types of Gum Ninjutsu, all of them able to turn the tide of a match when used correctly and strategically.

## Description

Every weapon set includes a Gum Ninjutsu alongside its Gum Shoot. It charges on its own over time, but can be charged faster by attacking other players or a drone. Researching in the Ninja Gum Lab and certain Assist Codes can also affect the charge speed. Once fully charged, the player can press the  button (or whatever other button has been assigned) to unleash the Ninjutsu. Ninjutsus always have a very high damage output, knocking out foes at insanely high health percentages, and result always in an IPPON if it brings the opponents life to 0. Gum Ninjutsus, unlike Specials and Abilities, are not locked to weapon subclasses.

There are three kinds of Ninjutsus currently in the game (Note: These are not official terms or classifications, but rather categories based on aspects and the workings of gum ninjutsus):

* **Attack:** The ninjutsu unleashes a basic move that simply unleashes one attack until the duration of the ninjutsu runs out. This makes up by far the majority of Ninjutsus.
* **Transformation**: The user or their weapon transforms into another form that still at least partially uses the basic moveset.
* **Trapping:** The user starts with an initial attack that triggers the next parts of the move if it lands, during which the target is helpless.

Oedo Cannon

The **Oedo Cannon** is a weapon in *Ninjala*. It is part of the Punch Type B subclass.

## Description

*"A gum weapon that is specialized for shooting from far away. It will become more powerful depending on how long you hold the attack button to charge." -In-game description*

## Additional Data

TBA

## Tips

The key to this Weapon Type is the Charge- and S-Energy-Management.

Every action the weapon has, except the Normal or Charge Shot, is inputable with the Break Attack Button. This allows the player to charge a shoot while doing other actions. Even a Gum Shoot can be fired with the Break Attack Button. If an action, for example Back Break Attack, ends the player can follow up with a Charge Shot. The requirement though is that the action takes the same or more time than charging a shot. This makes the weapon unique because the player needs to think about charging.

Performing Charge Shots costs S-Energy. Therefore the player has to keep that in mind as well. Collecting Shinobi Orbs, successfully using a Wide Break Attack, using the Ability Rapid Charge by holding the Special Button and Gum Morphing helps to recover S-Energy faster.

Normal, Charge and Special Attack ignores S-Burst as they are flying projectiles. Back Break Attack does not ignore S-Burst and the player ends up in a Parry. If an opponent uses Back Attack, using Back Break Attack can end in a Parry Situation since it has a homing property.

A Stage 2 Normal Attack (Stage 1 Charge Shot) can be performed after the first Back Break Attack, since the time it takes to charge the attack is as long as a Back Break Attack takes. Similarly can a Normal Attack Stage 3 (Stage 2 Charge Attack) be performed after the second Back Break Attack. Keep in mind though that the two Back Break Attacks do not connect, meaning it's possible that the opponent can perform an action between the two attacks.

The Special, Thunder Cannon, can be very helpful for Third-Partying. If two opponents are in a Parry it is possible to shoot at them through the Parry. Keep in mind that a Parry gives the participants invulnerability frames when clashing weapons. Thunder Cannon can also go through Specials, Gum Shoots and Gum Ninjutsus such as Fujiyama Rocket to steal kills but it has to be timed correctly. It can also go through swings of the Punishing Blade. Thunder Cannon can go through walls to steal a Drone or Kills.

It is possible to even counter Gum Shoots and Break Attacks with Wide Break Attack. After a successful Wide Break Attack it is possible to counter an upcoming attack, though the frame window is very small (the timing is very strict).
Extreme Motor

The **Extreme Motor** is a weapon in *Ninjala*. It is part of the Yo-yo Type C subclass.

## Description

*"Forms a gum weapon you can ride like a motorcycle. You can charge to attack and cause explosions by using Turbo and Attack with its Special." -In-game description*

Power of Shinobi

The **Power of the Shinobi** is a special series of abilities possessed only by a certain population in the Ninjala universe that are passed down from ancient ninja warriors. Humans, animals, and even plants can possess this power, but they must to be a descendant of those who were affected by a special meteor generations ago (many of whom being ninja).

## Overview

Those with the Power of the Shinobi have several abilities at their disposal. Examples of abilities that most, if not all, of these people possess is disappearing in a cloud of smoke, disguising themselves as regular objects, and moving silently in the darkness. However, these skills must be unlocked over time and "awakened" rather than allowing the ninjas to use their powers when young, and must be trained in using. Consuming Ninja-Gum helps awaken these powers immediately, though, with added benefits.

Some people with the Power have specialized abilities exclusive to their bloodline. A prime example of this is Lucy, who can turn metal around her into tendrils that she can control and manipulate at will. According to her mother, who also has this ability, these special powers are passed down through bloodlines along with the rest of the standard shinobi powers.

## Common Abilities

A number of abilities are present in most, if not all, ninja descendants with the Power. Most of these are very basic abilities and skills.

## Unique Cases

A number of people are known to have unique abilities not normally present. These special powers are implied to often be passed through bloodline.

### Ferrokinesis (Metal Manipulation)

*Main article: **Lucy#Powers and Abilities***

Lucy and her mother possess a unique shinobi ability that allows them to manipulate metal by turning metal objects such and beams and poles into tentacles that can be controlled at will for various uses. While it is implied that this power was passed down through Lucy's family over generations, so far only Lucy herself has been shown actually using these abilities.

### Extreme Hearing

*Main article:* ***Emma#Powers and Abilities***

Emma possesses a unique shinobi ability that allows her to distinctly hear and locate sounds that are far and quiet as long as she is dancing while doing so. It doesn't seem to be required, but she also closes her eyes in concentration so she can 'tune in' to the right sounds she wishes to listen in on. This enables her to hear secret conversations and information that would not normally be shared with her. Due to being an orphan, it is not known which of her parents may have had the ability, so she is the only known character with it.

## Physical Traits

Every human ninja with the Power will always have a small pink dot within the iris or pupil of each of their eyes. This trait is an immediate indicator that a person is of ninja descent and has the shinobi power, whether they have awakened it yet it or not. Some people possessing the Power of the Shinobi may have additional traits as well, such as Lucy whose right eye turned red upon awakening.
Goro

**Goro** (五郎, *Gorō*) is a major character in Ninjala. He appears to be owned by Berecca. In-game, he is present on the title screen with Gumchi and the player.

## Appearance

Goro is an adult cat with white, thick fur along the stomach and legs with orange on his back and the top of his head. In the original cartoon, the orange fur remained above his eyes, but in the Ninjala Anime, his right eye has a patch of orange covering it. He wears a bright red collar with a golden, mysterious bell attached that is implied to have tampered with the prototype ninja gum.

## Personality

Goro initially is portrayed as a lazy, relaxed cat. However, it is implied that he is also a ninja with the power of shinobi, as he disappears into a cloud of smoke in Episode 0: Ninja-Gum is Born.

In the televised Ninjala Anime, Goro is a wandering cat that has no designated home, but often lounges in the Base or at the WNA Academy with his friend Gumchi. In crucial situations, Goro tends to act as a messenger or a method to sneak supplies, having the ability to hide items in his thick fur.

## Trivia

* Before his name was officially revealed, Goro was referred to as "Marusan" based on internal files found in the game.

Momo

Face

*Momo*

As a member of the Shadow Ninja Executives, Momo plays a brief role fighting against  Kappei and Fuma alongside her twin brother, Toto. Her and her brother are known for fighting in perfect sync and playing off each other in combat and speech.

## Personality

Momo works in perfect sync with her brother, and they are said to have never been apart since birth. When one of them speaks, the other often parallels or finishes the sentence. Together they seem to enjoy toying with anyone who falls into their trap.

While she is confident while in control, she falls apart easily when off-sync with her twin.

## Appearance

Momo is a fair-skinned girl with white hair that flips out just above shoulder length. Her bangs frame her face, with an especially large swoop going over her right eye.

Her outfit is the opposite of her twin’s. The top layer of her outfit is white. Beneath it, her sleeves are black with white trimming. She wears black stirrup pants and white shoes.

## Story

### Volume 4

    Momo and Toto appear in a room filled with books covered in spider web-like strings of gum. They both fight using a harisen—large, folded paper fans.

They attack and gum bind Kappei after he falls through a trap door leading to their room. They gum bind Kappei with ease using their teamwork. Right before they strike to kill Kappei,  Fuma enters the room. The twins recognize him as a former Shadow Executive, and begin mocking him for losing his position and powers. They strike him with their fans and break out into laughter. However this moment is short lived—as Fuma pulls out a kunai and slashes Toto across the face with it.

Throughout the following fight, Kappei and Fuma consistently only attack Toto. According to Kappei, they can’t actually tell which is which anyways. Toto, feeling sobby-eyed that only he is suffering, grabs Momo into a gum bind he is trapped in. Since they are now both trapped, they are easily defeated by Kappei and Fuma in an explosion.

## Trivia

* Momo has a tendency to end her sentences in a hard katakana “ne” (ネ).
Ippon

An **Ippon** (stylized as **IPPON**) is a special form of K.O. that is achieved under certain conditions in *Ninjala*. Ippons are worth more points than standard KOs.

## Description

Ippons are special versions of K.O.s that are achieved in various ways. If an Ippon is successful, the opponent will be sent flying until they hit a wall, floor, or ceiling and crash in a mess of gum. Ippons are worth more 2.5 times the amount of points as regular K.O.s, making them very desirable to get. The player who gets the most Ippons in a match will be rewarded afterwords with a 1000-point *Ippon Master* bonus.

There a number of ways to achieve an Ippon:

* **Defeating a Gum-Bound Opponent:** The most common way to score an Ippon. If an opponent's life is driven to zero while they are in a gum bind, the opponent will be Ippon'd so long as they deliver the final blow.
* **Winning a Parry:** Winning a parry and defeating the opponent will score an Ippon. Even if the parry counter doesn't instantly defeat the opponent, an Ippon will still be scored if they are defeating within a certain time frame after winning the parry.
* **Defeating an Opponent with Gum Ninjutsu:** Any Gum Ninjutsu will always result in an Ippon if a player is defeated, so long as their life reaches zero.
* **Shinobi Cards:** Certain Shinobi Cards can allow for Ippons to be scored under special conditions. An example is Giant Killer, which automatically scores an Ippon when defeating an opponent who has created a big weapon the first time.

## Ippon Decorations

Players can customize the appearance of the Ippon text that displays to match their individual tastes. Multiple Ippon decorations are available, and can be earned via completing tiers in a Standard Pass or Ninjala Season Pass, or buying them in the Shinobi Shop, among other methods.

Fujiyama Rocket

**Fujiyama Rocket** is a Gum Ninjutsu projectile in *Ninjala*. It involves the user throwing a rocket after a considerable amount of starting lag into the direction they are facing. Upon coming into contact with any structure or being (including players or Gum Shoots), the rocket will explode, with an outward-expanding large AoE (attack on effect) field that does considerable damage.

Using this attack will most likely Ippon opponents due to the explosion stunning whoever is inside and forcing them to reside inside until it fades away. The attack can also hit the user, though it will deal no damage and only knockback to them, making it good for escaping a tricky situation. Some attack properties allow players to by-pass the stunning such as Super Armor. With an active Super Armor opponents can move out of the explosion.

However, during the starting lag, the move can be interrupted at any time by any kind of attack. Thus, it's best to start this attack out of reach of opponents, as the rocket can travel across any distance along stages.

Like all Gum Ninjutsus, if this move brings the opponent to 0 health, it will IPPON them.

## Weapons

The following is a list of weapons that are equipped with Fujiyama Rocket:

* GR8 Gear
* Iron Noise
* Cerberus
* Trick Ball

## Patch History

### Version 4.0

* ▲ Damage has been increased.
* ▲ Speed of the rocket has been increased.

Komerika

Komerika is a fictional country in Ninjala based on the real world location of the U.S.A. Various stages and in-game landmarks are here. Including those listed below.

## Locations

* WNA Academy
* Eagle City
* Base

**Fun Facts**

* There is a “goddess statue” which people refer to as the Komerikan Statue of Liberty in Komerika that can be seen in Eagle City. It resembles the real life Statue of Liberty located in the U.S.A.
Gum Boomerang

The **Gum Boomerang** is a Gum Shoot in *Ninjala* that takes on the form of a Boomerang as the name implies.

Large sized Gum Boomerang.
Once its launched it flies in the direction the camera is pointing to. After a certain distance or colliding with a surface, meaning walls, floors and ceilings it stops. After that it returns to the player, not to the position where it got launched but the current position of the player. If it hits an opponent or a Drone it pierces through and makes Gum Damage. If a Gum Boomerang hits an opponent while returning it deals Gum Damage as well, leading to a Gum Bind if the Gum Boomerang is at least medium sized.

## Priority

   Gum Boomerang has the same priority as a grounded Gum Needle. So, it is ranked above Gum Launcher and below Gum Shot. If a same sized Gum Needle hits a Gum Boomerang both cancels each other. If one is larger than the other, the larger one wins. Gum Boomerang is considered as a strong Gum Shoot as it can handle a variety of Gum Shoots. As the size of Gum Boomerang decreases the priority is affected as well. A medium sized Boomerang clashing with a large sized Gum Launcher results into a tie. Both are being canceled out. The small version of Boomerang is not enough to win against a large sized Gum Launcher but instead against a large undeployed Gum Net.

### Versus other Projectile Attacks

*The projectile attack priority list can be found here.*

A large sized Gum Boomerang can cancel a Normal Attack Stage 2 of Punch Type B weapons but it doesn't stand a chance against a Stage 3 one. Any projectile attack with a lower priority than a Normal Attack Stage 2 loses against the large Boomerang. A medium sized Bommerang cancels the wave of Overpowering Wave (both dissolve) and wins against anything lower priortized. And a small one cancels the Break Attack of Extra Type A weapons (both dissolve) and wins against anything lower priortized.

As for the exceptional projectile attacks, Thunder Cannon, Cannon Bomber and Fiery Raid, there is always a trade.

## Weapons

* Paw-xing Gloves
* Flamitango
* Spinning UFO

Ninjala (Gag Manga)

The **Ninjala Gag Manga** is a serialization directly following the ending of the Ninjala Manga. It is created by Asumi Yoshino, and the first chapter was published in the August 2023 edition of Corocoro Magazine.

## Overview

This manga follows the main characters of Ninjala as they introduce themselves and perform comical gags for audience entertainment. As a gag manga, it features childish humor and the plot appears to be minimal. However, it is yet to be determined if it will follow a specific Ninjala canon to base its jokes on (game, anime, 2D cartoon, etc.) or if it will be its own unspecific gag universe.

Chapters consist of a collection of various individual comic strips. They generally stick to the yonkoma, or “four panel comic,” format, but occasionally deviate. Chapters seem like they will be incredibly short (~8 pages) and do not have titles—rather each individual yonkoma has its own name.

## Characters

* Kappei
* Van
* Gumchi
ASAKUSA Wheel

The **ASAKUSA Wheel** is a weapon in *Ninjala*. It is part of the Yo-yo Type A subclass.

## Description

*"A gum weapon highly effective at attacking from a distance. Sneaky movements like warping are its specialty." -In-game description*

The ASAKUSA Wheel is a Yo-yo Type A subclass weapon. As with the other Type A Yo-yos, it makes up for its fragile health with its long-reaching and sneaky attacks. Unlike the other weapons in its class, it boasts 15 more hitpoints, making it one of the three weapons to have different hitpoint values than the other weapons in its class, alongside the Shinobuzz Paper Fan and GR8 Gear. Appearance-wise, the weapon appears similar to Wanyūdō, a figure in Japanese mythology, though with an Oni's face on either side along with a constantly oscillating wheel with taiko drums attached. On the default-colored ASAKUSA Wheel, one side is primarily green and chartreuse while the other green and red.[1]

## Tips

* **The best ways to take drones with ASAKUSA Wheel are with repeated Back Attacks while hovering above the drone, and performing Yo-yo Leap on the drone, then repeatedly back attacking it.**
* **A good way to defend yourself from incoming opponents is to use the first move of Yo-yo Leap to create distance between you and them, then pressing the attack button to call the yo-yo back, repeating this process until they retreat.**
* **Back Attack can also be used to push impeding opponents away.**
* **Yo-Yo Leap should be used as a combo finisher, due to its long range and high damage output.**
* Due to having Gum Searcher, which cannot Gum Bind on its own, it is good to have Master of Change as an alternate means of scoring a Gum Bind, other than Break Attacking a opponent who used S-Burst or is guarded.

**\*Tips in bold also apply to Ninja Yo-yo and Shinobi Spinner.**
Ninja Sense Pro

Ninja Sense Pro is a Shinobi Card introduced in Season 1.

## Description

### Version 12.0

Goddess's Fountain

The **Goddess's Fountain** is a feature of the WNA Resort and was introduced with the opening of the Resort in Season 10. It's a wishing well where player can throw in Bronze Medals and can get something. This "something" consists of two, an EXP Bonus for the next match and various items. Theses items include Ninja Medals, Assist Codes, Baits and Weapon Skins. Simmilar to Gumball Machines the items are random. The skins are not the same as the ones from the Gumball Machines. They are very special, exclusive to the fountain.

## Details

One toss costs 10 Bronze Medals. A player has up to 20 tosses a day. It is possible to toss all Bronze Medals at once, which means 200 Bronze Medals. Throwing once grants an EXP Boost of 10% for the next match. This EXP Boost can be raised to 100% at max. All features of the Resort are focused on commonality or being together with other players. Therefore the EXP Boost does not only count for the player who tosses Medals but also for all the other player on the Resort. They all get the Bonus after playing an upcoming match. As a result a player can still get EXP Boosts after reaching the limit of 20 tosses a day. If a player leaves the Resort before playing the next match however, the EXP Boost will be lost.

With every toss the player has a chance of winning items from the lineup. This lineup changes every week but the structure keeps the same. It always contains exclusive Weapon Skins, Ninja Medals and 10 times of specific Assist Codes. Which ones exactly changes weekly. If a player doesn't win something from the lineup they get random individual Assist Codes instead.

## Gumchi of the Fountain

With every toss there is a chance the Goddess appears. Judging by the appearance it is Gumchi but according to the *official Ninjala website* Gumchi of the Fountain denies it. Meeting Gumchi of the Fountain increases the chance of getting something from the lineup.
