The movie 'Nintama Rantarô,' being a Japanese production set in feudal Japan, naturally features characters and casting reflective of its cultural context, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of roles traditionally associated with Western identities. Its narrative focuses on adventure and comedy, portraying traditional identities and societal norms neutrally or positively, rather than offering a strong critique or centering explicit DEI themes.
Nintama Rantarô features frequent instances of cross-dressing and gender non-conforming characters, primarily for comedic purposes. These depictions are neither explicitly affirming nor overtly negative, serving as incidental humor rather than a deep exploration or validation of LGBTQ+ identities. The overall impact is neutral.
The show features the Kunoichi class, female ninja students who frequently engage in and win close-quarters physical contests against male students using their ninja skills and agility.
