Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter of ninja school and childhood adventures is inherently apolitical, and its narrative champions universal values like teamwork and perseverance rather than any specific political ideology.
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.
Secondary
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.
The anime "Nintama Rantarô" is a direct adaptation of the manga "Rakudai Ninja Rantarō." All established characters, including the main protagonists and supporting cast, maintain their canonical genders from the source material. There are no instances of characters being portrayed as a different gender than originally established.
Nintama Rantarô is a Japanese anime series based on a Japanese manga, featuring characters consistently depicted as East Asian. There is no evidence of any character being portrayed as a different race than their established origin within the series.
