Lightning-quick martial arts? Razor-sharp kunai? Phantom clones? Oh, yeah. That's a ninja. Those clones do look mighty convincing, but a fake's a fake. Stay cool, watch closely, and spot the real deal—then give 'em the chop!

The Ninja is a high-ranking Nobody controlled by Larxene that appears in Kingdom Hearts III.

Design

Ninjas have large, humanoid bodies with long yellow spikes for hands and feet. They wear dark gray body suits with white straps wrapping around their chests. Their sleeves flare out wide and end in a pointed fringe reminiscent of Xemnas's crown. They have gray hoods with the Nobody emblem on the front, and a white scarf around their throats. They wear a gray sash belt that drapes down at the front nearly to the floor. Above their spike feet, they wear dark gray chaps with portions of the Nobody emblem which fade from yellow to white.

The Ninja is based on the eponymous job class from Final Fantasy.

Strategy

Ninjas are very agile and as such can be tough to pin down without strong gap closers or long-range attacks; magic such as Water (which they are weak to), Links, and Attractions are easy options to catch them out.

The final hit of their Rolling Glide attack will break Sora's guard; if in a large group of enemies, either use a Reprisal early or be prepared to use Risk Dodge when blocking this attack.

When two or fewer Ninjas are left on the field, they will begin to retaliate with Reverse Thunder when brought below 50% HP; use this behavior against them to get a consistent Block into Reprisal punish. Formchanges with area of effect attacks and magic are also well suited to dealing with such straggler Ninjas.
