Ninja Kamui: Season 1 – Review
“Ninja Kamui” is heavily reliant on flashy action sequences and inconsistently develops its characters or delivers a compelling story.
“Ninja Kamui” is heavily reliant on flashy action sequences and inconsistently develops its characters or delivers a compelling story.
“Ninja Kamui” comes to an end with what, on paper, should have been a notable season, if not series, finale.
In the penultimate episode of the season, we finally get some background on what happened to the Ninja Clan leadership as Mike triggers the beginning of the end for Auza.
The end of Higan v. Zai leads to a new fight with the stakes upped, and as the ninjas fight, Mike and Jason try to crack Emma’s code.
As the season begins to wind down, Mike and Higan face the final obstacles in ending Auza and taking down Yamaji.
Big D and Higan go for another round as Yamaji begins to make it seem he has plans beyond what Joseph wants for Auza.
As Joseph and Emma reveal Auza’s ultimate plans, Big D gets the chance to fight Higan.
Emma fills in the gap in her and Mari’s relationship, and we get a glimpse of Yamaji’s rise to power.
The meaning behind the show’s title is revealed, alongside who Aska is.
Blinded by a desire for revenge or answers, Mike and Higan walk into traps.
As Higan pursues a way to get into AUZA City, so rises the question of what might be accomplished in this season beyond vibrant fight sequences?
What is Auza and who is involved with it is explored, as well as members of the Elite Ninjas.
With tapping into Higan’s origins and what organization is against him, it seems fears that “Ninja Kamui” would quickly lose its luster might be unfounded.
A revenge plot featuring what looks like humanoid ninjas, set in the near future, is what we’re introduced to in the premiere of “Ninja Kamui.”
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
