Ninja is an ability category.

Details

At the time of its appearance, it is only referenced by the Ninja Change ability.

5 Kunoichimantra, Sacred Chaos
Light  / Creature Mecha Del Stella + Shinobi 7000
■ Ninja Change 3 (Whenever one of your opponent's creatures attacks or blocks, if during that attack you didn't use a Ninja ability, you may switch one of your Mecha or Shinobi that costs 3 or more with this creature from your hand.) ​ Blocker ■ Double breaker ■ When you put this creature, each of your other creatures get +3000 power until the start of your next turn.

Rules

• Each player can use one Ninja Change and one Ninja Strike ability per attack.

However, it must be resolved in a specific way. If you haven't yet used a 'Ninja' ability during that attack, you can use Ninja Change. Then, since you haven't used a Ninja Strike ability, you can declare usage of that ability as well. If you were to use to Ninja Strike first, the Ninja Change ability will see you have used a 'Ninja' ability already, and will misfire.

• If you started without a Mecha or Shinobi in the battle zone, it isn't possible to use Ninja Strike to summon a Shinobi in response to your opponent's attack and then return that Shinobi to your hand with Ninja Change.
• If a Shinobi with Ninja Strike is returned to your hand, it can't be declared for that card's Ninja Strike because it isn't in your hand when the attack occurs.

Rulings

• Q: Can I simultaneously declare the 'Ninja Change 3] ability of Kunoichimantra, Sacred Chaos as well as the 'Ninja Strike 4' ability of Hayabusamaru, Lightfang Ninja?
  • A: Yes, you can. If you resolve the 'Ninja Change' first, you can also resolve the 'Ninja Strike' afterwards. However, if you resolve the 'Ninja Strike' first, as you have already used a 'Ninja' ability, you won't be able to declare the usage of the 'Ninja Change' ability of Kunoichimantra, Sacred Chaos. ^{source [2023.6.9]}
