Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Sub (OT) Analysis: Aka Ninja

Boy Aka Ninja's acting is sorta even worse than Jayden Shiba's but on purpose.
He no sold his family's dojo blowing up as if it was nothing, but not even in a way where he was cold, calculating and didn't care. He just pretended it didn't happen.
I like the Shurikens and the attacks with CGI. The actual attacks didn't look as cool. I hope they come up with a lot more creative ideas on what they can do with the Shurikens.
They can spin like the Samurai Spinners in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger which is a good start. They're also good for long ranged attacks.
He's also not that bright, being unable to communicate with even his fellow family members a la the Dude.

And that's where they set you up.
The Big Lebowski works on so many levels opposed to just the seemingly juvenile humor which is actually really well crafted, in addition to political, masculinity, etc. commentary.
Aka Ninja is actually the most experienced, skilled, trained, fearless and a lot we admire about fellow humans: strengths, in addition to flaws.
Sure, with Toei, there's always the part where they may overplay the stupid parts a la Akaza Ban Ban, but they have more experience now and may play a little more with that, opposed to overpreaching the lacking strength of the Red Ranger.

Left the world to train, possibly explaining his foreign accent.
