Nintama Rantarou - The Movie In 1996, a Nintama Rantarou movie was released. It is approximately 45 minutes long. The plot of the movie seems to be part original, and part compilation of a story from the manga. In the movie, the Dokutake ninja steal a shipment of saltpeter from Shinbei's papa. They plan to use it to create medicine that will make them fly and become super-ninjas! Danzou, who's father was transporting the goods, stows away and is taken to the Dokutake's secret headquarters. When Shinbei informs the school, Yamada-sensei and Doi-sensei rush to help. But Hagumi decide to take matters into their own hands and try to rescue Danzou themselves. Things don't go according to plan, though, and soon they all need to be rescued too. Fortunately Rikichi, Yamada-sensei's cool son, is around to help out! In fact,before long everyone gets into the act! But can Rantarou and his friends stop Happousai before it's too late? This movie is pure fun! It's hilarious and exciting, with just the right amounts of humor and danger. And did I mention that Rikichi is really damn cool? And Doi-sensei dresses up like a woman. What more could you ask? And of course, it all ends with a bang. Now that you know about the movie, please return to the main anime page. Level 3: the Anime
