Ninjara (ニンジャラ, Ninjara) is a character and playable fighter in the Nintendo Switch game ARMS.

Origin

Ninjara fighting against Min Min on the Ramen Bowl in ARMS.

One of the playable characters in ARMS, Ninjara, also known as "The Student of Stealth", hails from the Rasen Ninjutsu University, also known as Ninja College. As both his name and school would suggest, Ninjara is a ninja himself, with fast-paced, stealthy movement with a special vanishing technique, this technique allowing him to warp out of danger and into a new location to confuse his foes. Ninjara joined the ARMS Grand Prix for his senior project, and he enjoys reading books in his spare time. His grand prix ending depicts him back at Rasen, meditating on top of a bamboo shoot with his arms uncoiled.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Assist role

Ninjara in ARMS Rush.

Ninjara is seen in Min Min's Final Smash, ARMS Rush, and unleashes a flurry of punches alongside other characters from ARMS.

As a background character

Ninjara appears on the screen in the background of Spring Stadium. He also appeared in Min Min's reveal trailer, swiping the invitation from Ribbon Girl and dodging a volley of punches from the entire base ARMS roster before being knocked out of the air by Master Mummy. He is later seen lying in front of all the knocked out ARMS fighters.

As a costume

A Ninjara DLC costume for Mii Brawler was revealed on June 22, 2020, as part of Round 6. Ninjara's Chakrams, his default ARMS, act as the costume's fists.

Spirit

Ninjara has a Advanced support spirit that is able to be summoned using the cores for Shinobu and Shadow Man. If the player has purchased Min Min, his Spirit Battle can be fought. Like the Cuphead and Mugman spirits, the player's opponent is determined by whether or not DLC has been downloaded. Purchasing the Ninjara Wig and Outfit will have the player fight a Mii Brawler wearing these outfits, while not having this DLC will instead make the opponent Greninja.

Trivia

• Ninjara and Ribbon Girl are the first summon-exclusive spirits to gain spirit battles in an update.
  • These spirit battles are only accessible in the ARMS DLC Spirit Board.
• Before the playable fighter from ARMS was decided, Masahiro Sakurai had considered both Ninjara and Min Min for the spot; Min Min won out at the request of ARMS producer, Kosuke Yabuki.
• Ninjara is the fourth character to hold onto a Smash invitation in a character reveal trailer without becoming playable in the process, behind Pete, Sothis and Spring Man.
