Summary

ThePokémonanime has had some left over story arcs over the year , but one ninja - based storyline feel so out of space that it ’s almost as if it came straight out ofNaruto . While some of the ninja character had been introduced in the past , the ninja hamlet story bow feature a coup plot of ground that ’s unlike anything else inPokémon .

In thePokémon XYZepisodes " The Legend of the Ninja Hero ! " and " A Festival of Decisions , " Ash and his friends make contact with a friend they ’ve converge before , a ninja by the name ofSanpei who has a Greninja , and who helped Ash trainhis own Frogadier .

A Secret Ninja Village’s Coup DominatesPokémon

The ninja in the village are shown to practice ninja joke , like using illusions to appear untried , or the famed logarithm - shift trick , ability which are commonly see inNaruto . Their manner of clothes also sense very similar to that ofNarutocharacters , as is the secretive nature of their hamlet . Of course , this is stillPokémon , so there are plenty of Pokémon in the village as well , particularly those with ninja - like attributes such as Greninja and Weavile .

The plot dealing with the succession of the village leaders is a particularly strange plot line forPokémon , which does n’t unremarkably see these kinds of power struggles occurring . Soon , Hanzo is kidnapped by the mastermind of this scheme , a varlet ninja from the village by the name of Kagetomo . Ash and friend lend their aid to Sanpei and his brothers , battling against Kagetomo and his followers even though it does n’t really relate them . Ash ’s Frogadier really evolves into Greninja in the fight , and entersthe mysterious Ash - Greninja bond statefor the first meter .

While the stake are suitably mellow to make it a very cool second , one still ca n’t help but feel like it ’s out of a completely dissimilar Zanzibar copal . Ippei deal to vote down Kagetomo in a Pokémon battle and brings the engagement to an last , and surprisingly Kagetomo is n’t punished for his coup attempt . He instead goes into ego - imposed exile , intending to learn more about the world and find out how Ippei pull in his strength from what he care about . The episode end with a mysterious annoyer of a wall painting depicting Ash - Greninja , which is never followed up on .

The episodes are remarkable for Greninja ’s evolution already , but they do have quite a dissimilar tincture to them than most of the serial . Pokémon XYZis famously more like a classic shonen series than most ofPokémon , so perhaps that meld with the strange setting create a unlike spirit for these two episode . Pokémon ’s take onNarutois entertaining , at least , and deserving a look for fans who question what a crossing between the two might look like .
