Night Ninja

Night Ninja is the tertiary antagonist and one of the nighttime villains, but occasionally an anti-hero, in the television series PJ Masks. He is the leader and the authority figure of the Ninjalinos, and Ninjaka's counterpart from another universe set in a vigilante setting.

## Official Website Description

A Splat-Sticking, back-flipping Ninja wants to show everyone that he’s the best at everything!

## Personality

Night Ninja rarely gets involved in a battle as he summons his henchmen, the Ninjalinos, to do his dirty work for him. He is the leader of the Ninjalinos whom he treats like soldiers. However, the episode "Owlette and the Owletteenies" reveals that even he has a softer side for his Ninjalinos. Owlette even mentions it, which embarrasses him.

He is incredibly arrogant and haughty, considering himself to be better than everyone else. Yet, Night Ninja does occasionally possess a sense of honor and sportsmanship. In the episode "Gekko and the Rock of All Power", Night Ninja reluctantly let Gekko keep the hidden medallion after he broke the rock in half and proved himself to be stronger than the ninjas. And in "Slow Down, Catboy!", Night Ninja used his natural athletic abilities & skill to best Catboy in the first race without any cheating involved.
Another time Night Ninja showed that he has a softer side for the Ninjalinos was in "Wolfy Mountain," when one of his Ninjalinos named Marvin was injured. After the PJ Maskshelped him rescue Marvin, he agreed to share Mystery Mountain with the heroes and not keep it to himself. He even bowed and thanked the PJ Masks for their help, which shows that he can be respectful and sometimes even kind.

Night Ninja has been shown to have a slight fear of caves, as seen in "The Splat Monster," though he tries to hide it when he jumps at an echo in the cave on Mystery Mountain, but passes it off by saying that he was just "testing his Ninjalinos' reflexes." Then he insists that Teeny Weeny should go in first, and as Night Ninja walks in, he looks to be very nervous.

Despite his arrogance, Night Ninja is very intelligent and cunning. He is constantly outwitting, deceiving, and using the other characters to get what he wants. An example of this is seen in the episode "Clash on Mystery Mountain," where Night Ninja tricks Armadylan into getting An Yu's staff so he could take it from him and use it to send An Yu back into the Dragon Gong forever. He also stole a scroll from the museum that could potentially make him invincible so he could defeat the PJ Masks and Armadylan as well. His plan would have most likely succeeded if Teeny Weeny didn't betray him and teleport him off the mountain.

## Abilities

* Sticky Splat: Along with the Ninjalinos by his side, he uses colorful and gooey objects known as "Sticky Splat" to pin down the PJ Masks and hinder their moving abilities.
* Martial Arts/Acrobatics: He is very agile and can perform spins, back flips, kicks, and high jumps at ease. He is very skilled with swords, as seen in "Catboy and Master Fang's Sword." On occasion, he will use a move called the "mega triple punch", which was demonstrated in the episode "Gekko and the Rock of All Power."
* Strength/Stamina: Even without superpowers, Night Ninja's strength rivals that of Gekko. In "Gekko and the Rock of All Power", Night Ninja was seen stopping a massive bolder from hitting him using nothing but a side kick. Night Ninja has incredible stamina and is able to run across the city and up Mystery Mountain with little to no effort.
* Smoke Bombs: First introduced in "Who's Got the Owl Power?," the "Smoke Bombs" are one of Night Ninja's abilities. He uses them to appear and disappear in a cloud of purple smoke. This makes it very unpredictable to know when he might suddenly appear out of nowhere.
* Ninja Fingers: As revealed in "PJ Power Up," he and his Ninjalinos have a power called "ninja fingers", which gives them the power to telepathically levitate any object of any size with only their fingers. Their fingers glow with yellow sparkles when they use this power.
* Teleportation: He is able to teleport small objects such as sticky splat and scrolls that he's stolen.

## Appearance

Night Ninja wears a fully-covered navy blue ninja costume with nighttime-like stars on it, and cyan accents each on his face and feet. Just like his Ninjalinos, Night Ninja wears tabi or ninja boots under his shozoku (ninja clothing). He has blue eyes.

As of the Season 6 episode "Heroes Everywhere," after he obtained the Six Rings of Ninja Magic, Night Ninja's costume now has red stripes around him in a flame-like pattern, accented by white stripes, but lacks the tiny white star-like dots. There are light blue and white stripes around his waist, with light blue stripes running down the sides of his body, light blue accents on his mouth and wrists, and white accents on his wrists and feet. He also wears six rings of different shapes: one white, one red, and one yellow on one side, and one light blue, one white, and one green on the other.
