In Brave10, the background characters all look, act and dress period appropriately, but the main cast are loud, eccentric, misbehaving, badly and anachronistically dressed ninjas, simply because they are the protagonists.

As a giant stinger missile that heavily disrupts her speed and is too enormous to be hidden, she can't engage in covert fighting at all with it. Her status as an example of this trope is accentuated when her bankai is revealed. Unsurprising, Aizen isn't bothered by her attack and it fails. She then proceeds to engage in one of the flashiest speed-clone attacks we've ever seen her produce. Lampshaded by Aizen who calls her mad for confronting him face-to-face instead of adhering to her training and striking covertly. However, she likes to have her abilities acknowledged and this leads her to take on face-to-face confrontations even when she should strike from the shadows.

Bleach: Sui Feng has the skills to be a good ninja.

He also has a knack for making long, drawn out speeches before a fight (so drawn out his allies don't even wait for him to finish and attack their opponent before he's done) and later in the story he gains a bunch of overpowered light based abilities. Not only is he a 7'7, 320lbs man, but he also throws shurikens the size of an aircraft tire and wields Murasame, a legendary 2-metre-long katana.

Ninja Master Gara from Bastard!! (1988).

Ninja Ninja in Afro Samurai is loud-mouthed and ridiculously visible (although he's somewhat stealthy in the second episode, hiding in the rafters of a house), especially considering that he's hanging out with a samurai who kills everyone he meets.

Often overlaps With Catlike Tread if the ninjas are still considered to be stealthy despite actually being highly conspicuous. Contrast with Technicolor Ninjas, who are stealthy despite their brightly-colored outfits (and whom some Highly Visible Ninja, by virtue of their experiences, eventually become). See Highly-Conspicuous Uniform for the military version of this trope, and Overt Operative for the super-spy version. Quite often, these kinds of ninjas, along with the Overt Operative type of personnel, are used as distractions so the real covert operatives can get to work. If you're caught wearing stereotypical ninja garb while doing something suspicious, the enemy isn't going to wait for an explanation. After all, if you're caught doing something suspicious as a commoner, you can probably pull a satisfactory explanation out of your ass or blend into a crowd if a chase starts. There is also Truth in Television at work here, since, historically, ninja rarely ever wore black garb when looking like a commoner or somebody else more uninteresting would be easier. Typically the justification for visible assassins is that, if you can actually see the ninja, then you're either going to die soon, or you are a Worthy Opponent.

Heroic (and technicolor) ninja are smart enough to avert this, while villainous ones are still needed to entertain the viewers.

Not only is this not honorable, it's not as exciting as a full fledged fight. Assassins traditionally killed people through underhanded methods - stabbing In the Back, poisoning, etc. There's also this funny paradox: ninja are assassins. The real reason is the works need to make sure the audience sees the ninja.

While suffering from the law of Conservation of Ninjutsu, Ninja mooks not only forget how to fight properly and how to take advantage of their superior numbers, they also forget what a ninja truly is.īack at the dojo, didn't their sensei explain that the whole point is to be stealthy, secretive, even invisible? Why do they suddenly feel the need to appear in broad daylight, dressed in stereotyped kabuki-theater stagehand costumes, yell ' Kiai!' as loudly as possible, and perform gymnastics and twirl their weapons like they're putting on a show? Even worse, they feel the need to do these things from a distance of about fifty meters, even when they know the enemy have guns ( though this isn't always a problem). The result of Mook Chivalry when applied to Ninja. Pokémon: The Series, ' The Ninja Poke-Showdown'
