With the announcement of Nintendo's newest multiplayer ninja battle royal brawler Ninjala, a lot of you guys asked me my thoughts on it's portrayal of these so-called "ninjas". While there is a bunch I will eventually get to, there's just one thing that I can't stop thinking about. That goofy Ninja Gum... And why it actually could make so much sense...

Hey gang! Sorry this one took a while. But I'm glad we're back on schedule! Also, while a lot of sponsors come and go, I legit do love what Bokksu is trying to do with it's traditional themed snack boxes and how crammed full of culture and history it is.

Gaijin Goombah Media yay you did it after I asked thank you
Hey what about a video on Bravely Default's Konoe Kikyo( and minor notes on other ninja job classes from other Final Fantasy games) as Bravely Default 2 is coming out soon.
Gaijin Goombah Media Plz do Yokai University in Yokai Watchers

Plz do Gaijin My 2 Female friend and I work hard with this series
You had me at Tea :D
İs it possible an episode about assassin creed or the ninjas in fullmetal alchemist brotherhood
This is the first time I've gone "HOW ARE THOSE CONNECTED?!" and actually got an answer.
Even his sponsors are educational and Japanese. I mean, like... this sure as hell ain't Raid Shadow Legends.
Much respect.
They've hounded me for months and I will not give in.
@@GaijinGoombah good on you, GG good on you
@@GaijinGoombah This is why I love your humbleness. Love your educational uploads!!
@@GaijinGoombah
Maybe you could do a video on "Raid, not sponsored by Raid" just for the gag?

4:25 AH HA! the connection.
-its rude to chew gum in public so you need to do it in secret, Its rude to murder or commit espionage in public so you need to do it in secret!
BOOM, answer found.
Shinobi! Gum! Best match!
@@CoolVictor2002 A man of culture I see.
@@CoolVictor2002 are you ready?
@@Wreckur4203 Shinobi no Gum chewer, NinninBubble gum, Yeahhh!
@@CoolVictor2002 Why do i want this as an actual form now?
I feel like another reason for the gum to be so helpful is that the characters are kids so who's gonna suspect a child chewing gum to be a ninja?
This game looks basically like ninja splatoon but that’s why I also want to try it
With a hint of Naruto strikers
If it's free I'd be willing to try it
@@stapuft Actually, IT IS FREE.
Splatoon = Ninjala by squids becoming ninja , ink becoming " gum jutsu "and kids remaining kids...
6:04 Bridgett finds a new sponsor!
As you have said repeatedly: Ninja would use whatever to ensure a job gets done. Gum, at least how the Japanese make them, would easily be a premier ninja item for a lot of things beyond what you said: light, easily concealable, but those are obvious.
And THAT'S what I want from this series! Not dry and uninspired "it wasn't done in ninja history, therefore dumb" but analysis, taking the background into consideration and thinking. Big THANK YOU
You got it!
That's what I was getting from the beginning. But then he went into detail and then it got interesting
@@WesternEchidna idk, sometimes it was like
-GG-"He wears black, which is wrong, because REAL NINJA WEAR BLUE"
-Me/viewer-"Yeah, but doesn't it work here, cuz black would blend in more in a modern city?"
-GG- "REAL
NINJA
WEAR
FRICKING
BLUE"
Or that's just me.
That's something I love to think about. How would the resourceful ninja adapt to the unique tools available in different settings, like that Borderlands one who used hologram bunshin.
@@minedantaken1684 sometimes he's like that but he does consider the setting as well. Real MODERN ninjas in a city would wear black or gray at night true. He even aknowledged that the first time he had to.
“Male fertility and breast growth”
“These are things a Ninja would be *all* about.”
...
I mean, considering what female ninjas did, that would be helpful
DekuShrub 99 and yet Taki isn’t allowed to be a Kunoichi cuz her busts too big.
Reaper of Things
do you want her to be a parade balloon?
@@reaperofthings Aaah what do they know? Female ninjas DID use their charm to gain info and Intel.
How does this relate to real ninja? HOW!?
**a few minutes later**
My brain has been destroyed
Need a mop for your ceiling ? Hand it over to me when you're done please ;7
This is why I love the guy's content.
That happens a lot on this channel.
You’d think I’d be used to it. But no. He always finds a way.
Brain exploded from too much japan
3:30 Suddenly, all these Yakuzas chewing gum all the time make a lot more sense... That's a mark of bad manners/bad boy'ism in Japan !
himode my mum would beat the living daylights out of you
Your a squid now.. Your a kid now... Your a squid. Nope, I’m a ninja kid.
You didn't see it coming, did you? Totally ninja!

Well, the first Digimon series, Digimon Adventure, did just recently get a modern reboot. Also, spearmint is a type of mint, and something about the scent and chemicals present in the oil of several kinds of mint has been proven to ward off insects and small rodents. That said, to humans, the scent of mint is actually rather strong, hence why it can quickly cover up bad breath, but mint has also been found to have quite a few health benefits on its own. And there are quite a few different species of mint, but as far as my studies and research have gone, no mint plants were able to get imported to Japan until around the 20th century rolled around. Mint was unknown to the Americas and Japan, as far as can tell it originates from Europe and mainland Asia, had a few different variants of mint plants growing natively. From what I've been able to unearth, initially, there were only about a dozen or so original species of mint but the cultivation and selective breeding of the plants has gotten us a bit more diversity when it comes to that family of plants.
Now, would some shinobi clans actually have cultivated and harvested mint if it was available to them in their historical eras? Hard to say for sure but I like to think so, mint would fit quite well into their sense of utility but probably be a bit more restrictive when it came to actual dietary requirements, that is to say, it would be an occasional consumable, like maybe once or twice a month, due to just how overpowering the scent the oil can have, mixing that in with a smoke bomb in a large enough dose would not only help obscure a person further because the scent of the oil would be so overpowering that what did manage to get into their noses would likely overpower the sense of smell of everything caught inside the smoke well after it had cleared up, which would make animals with keen senses of smell be far more hesitant to help out because of just how much their own senses are being overpowered.
Plus if they where to splash some mint oil somewhere during an infiltration mission it will help distract the guards because they would be curious as to what that smell is
Mint is disgusting
Sorry, I was citing a bad source earlier, I did a little more research and found Mint does originate from Europe and mainland Asia, but not likely China or Korea so the likelihood of mint getting introduced to Japan early is still pretty low. That said, everything else I said about mint is still pretty valid
@Daniel Davies When people talk about mint being a deterrent to insects, spiders, and rodents they're actually talking about mint oil. The two most common types of mint oil are those from spearmint and peppermint, which have their oil used in gums, toothpaste, and candy but spritzing a bit of the oil from either mixed in with water (5 parts water 1 to 2 parts mint oil) can help keep pests out of your home if you spray it all around the edges of rooms and the outside of a structure. Something about the chemicals in mint oil acts as a natural deterrent to insects, spiders, and rodents. Mint oil also has a strong, often overpowering, scent to it. The scent is so strong that what we as humans can spell is often overpowering, it's even been shown to be so strong that dogs and cats will get a little disoriented for a bit by the smell if they're close enough to even a small unopened, undiluted vial of the stuff
Weird thought: Based on the short explaining the plot, it would appear that Ninja hide all over the world, how much do you want to bet that they took various aspects from whatever culture/country they were hiding in to help them blend in better?
Another point would be blending in with a crowd; Americans chew more gum than almost any nation in the world, so if you wanted to seem like a typical American, you would publicly chew gum to seem more ordinary. (Yes, I know this comes from Godzilla, but I actually like that movie and the fact isnt wrong; it works)

"Chicle" is pronounced "cheek-lay" fyi.
See, this is why I don't dabble too much into other cultures lol. I hope the Central and South American viewers don't throttle me TOO much.
Yeah basically Americans are screwed because we don't have clear standards of vowel pronunciations. Instead of AEIOU, the rest of the world tends to be very consistent with "ah-eh-ee-oh-oo."
@@GaijinGoombah my tip for when peonouncing names in Spanish or things from Spanish-speaking countries: pronounce vowels the same way they are pronounced in Japanese
I can see why GG pronounced it that way, Chiclets.
His pronounciation was close enough that any complaint (at leas from me) was unnecesary. I admire him instead for being able to speak more that one languaje. I'm not even Portugese or Brazilian so I can't make any corrections about it but in spanish is pronounced very similar.
2:21 “billy blonde every teen”
Let’s be honest that basically describes naruto
Lol. Yeah. Cause EVERY teen has no parents, has a demon sealed in them and is ridiculed by the majority of their hometown until they prove themselves
The Ninjala guy at least blends in with the culture around him.
Yea about that isn't that also what ninja is all about blending in hell He is wearing a NAVY BLUE JACKET out in the open and like we always say
trickymander
the orange and white would strike out more.
and heck, when he grew up to his teens and adults, he stuck with the color blue’s contrast:
orange.
BAD Naruto!
still, orange and black could be when sneaking or fighting in the evening, so i give Naruto a 2/10.
Let’s be honest, Sasuke is a way better ninja.
@@johnsonbaroncaveler6634 I was refering to the Ninjagum ninja
Gaijin, that was the most passionate advert I've heard in a long time. I'd consider subscribing if I wasn't already broke
Everyone: A Splatoon-like Ninja Game?
Nintendo: Believe it!
That’s my Nindo, My Ninja Way!
I came here to *Kick Ass* and *Chew Bubble Gum.*
And im all out of *A S S* .

Shell knight you mean you’re all out of gum. right?
@@DeoxysPrime300 I highly doubt it.
Chaos89P what's that suppose to mean?
And I'm here to Kick Gum and Chew Ass.
This could be an interesting direction for the show, having some episodes dedicated on what if scenarios. It's really interesting to see if and how ninjas would had used some items
11:00 "Did you know that Bungee Gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum?"
Where's NuxTaku when you need him?
perfect for snapping necks (mine and others)!
where can i get one?
Me when I read the title: "Yeah, Okay, Gum has occasionally been seen having some sort of random or silly utility and versatility before in pop culture. I could see some sort of silly Ninja character using it and being somewhat true to a ninja's job of getting tools from whatever they can get their hands on."
Me when watching the video: "What the bleep!? Just how much utility dose gum have!?"
EVRY TING
You can make a superhero out of this
Its the new duct tape.:P
gum was the original duct tape
G**
Is it Gum?
Is it God?
The answer is yes
2:19 Did they want to make it look like a lost episode of 2012 Ninja Turtles?
geardog24 omg it does
14:47: fine. now i have an earworm and im out of gum
I saw the reveal and out loud said
"Gaijins gonna have a field day with this"
2:19 Honestly, I think a generic looking protagonist would be more fitting for a ninja, being less easy to identify and all.
That’s actually a good point. The more mediocre you looks the less you would stand out. And that’s something that a ninja would probably go for.....unless it’s a konoichi, in which case.......
So if a ninja was in america, being blonde or brown haired instead of dark brown would almost be a requirement...wow that makes a lot of sense. In fact, having dark hair makes people have more visual contrast, so a blonde ninja who is pale would be less standout than someone who is pale with uber dark hair like me.
Next we are gonna have Chocolate Samurai, Licorice Spear fighters, hard candy snipers...
KND?
Don't forget rescue teams who use Lifesavers.
😆
I'll be here all week.
man, that gum is-
Looong
Looong
*MAAAAAN!!*
(Props if you get the reference)
I only knew this was coming.... I’m happy it’s here!!!
10:20 I was literally just thinking “*cough cough MacGyver could’ve been a ninja cough cough*”
2:49 it’s an extremely creative concept
I knew it! I knew the SECOND Gaijin would hear about this game, he would make a video about it!!
16:46
GaIjin: Digimon.
Me: *excited gasp*
Probably one of the most informative videos I've seen from you, at least in terms of information more relatable to me. Awesome!
OMG your channel hasn't shown up in my feed in so long I almost forgot about how much I love these videos
bruh i was waiting to see when you would cover this game
Right, the moment you look at the game trailer you knew Gajiin was gonna go ham!
This series friggin' slaps. Keep up the great work!
6:16 Props to you cause that sponsor transition was smooth as hell
Just wanted to give a shoutout for the smooth transition for the ad bump. That was a classy way to fit it in without breaking the flow of what you were talking about, and staying on topic. Glad that you're back on schedule, Gaijin! Keep up the good work, mate.
Just in time to save me from quarantine boredom
7:26 CEREMONY SCMEREMONY! Instant coffee will do just fine!
Okay this is, no bs by far, the dopest video I’ve seen thus far this year 😁🙌🏽👏🏽. Omg GREAT vid bro seriously and tweeting lol.
As a viewer, this makes the game more fascinating and definitely want to try it out for sure!
It makes me happy to hear that ninjas can benefit from a different culture like the Aztecs. Idk why but I always love it when people can connect two different cultures whether it's something they have in common or how they can benefit each other.
Have a good day, Gaijin and thanks for the awesome video! ^^
6:12 I almost hate how smooth that transition to the bokksu ad was 😂
I remember when I saw the first trailer for this game I was thinking: “gaijin Goombah is going to go ballistic about it’s ‘ninja gum’”
But I was very impressed with the fact that you actually managed to pull it off.
Gaijin gumbah
Also he commented under a video of ninjala lol
@@Star-vh4cs Which one?-
what a fascinating video! it honestly was fun to learn so much about gum and speculate how the ninja would have used it
I’ve been waiting for this episode! Ninjala looks like so much fun!
Hey Gaijin ! Big fan! I just want to say thank you for what your doing , you help me to understand so much about Japanese ,culture, real ninja tools and arts and more . Keep doing what your doing from LEON from the twin Island nation of TRINIDAD & TOBAGO.
The wait was totally worth it, this is one of my favorite witch ninja episodes, great job Gaijin :)
Awesome stuff as always. Now I really want this game. Also, idea for next Which ninja, are the phantom thieves real ninja?
I really like this type of video! Please do more of this!!!!!
The University of Reading is said like it's past tense: red-ing. Easy mistake to make. Fun video!
Yo! I was just bingeing which ninja when this came out, good work G squad!
As I watch this, I eat a gyro and I keep accidentally eating my moustache.
I love the videos that talk about what could have been/what could be. How it may not be traditional, but follows the spirit and would totally be used by Ninjas if it had been around.
Hey Gaijin great video I can't wait for Ninjala
This theory is very nice, and I'm glad Mat Pat taught you something. Also, good job with the sponsor
This... this was a lot more informative than I was expecting. I’m actually impressed.
The way you transitioned into the sponsor was really clever xd
I'm interested to see you go into more speculation in the future. Perhaps on what uses ninjas could have of modern tools (like gum in this case) or even what a modern day ninja would look like. I've had an idea brewing for a while now (AKA I've made some notes in a notebook) on a sort of secret law enforcement agency in the US that employs tactics of ninjas, with modern equivalents to the 6 tools of the ninja (the name escapes me and I can't seem to find the actual term) to assist organizations like the DEA and FBI. Was thinking of writing a story about it.
Really interesting video! I always enjoy this series but this one was particularly good.
This has earned you a new sub
I find it funny how you pronounce "chicle". 😁 Thanks for the episode, and for all your work really. Stay safe.
After I first saw this game, I knew you’d be talking about it
Great video! As a regular gum-chewer, I can definitely agree with the points you made about its versatility, and can see why such a thing would have been approached favorably by ninja.
Just ordered my self a Bokksu. Thanks for the code.
I have waited for this one. I love ninjala
What an interesting take. I was wondering if you'd cover the game and boy did you deliver. What an interesting take
Another fascinating video Gaijin, thanks so much!
As a quick aside, Reading (the place) is pronounced "REDD-ing" :)
Keep up the good work!
I guess you can add "blow my mind" to the list of things Gum can do
but yeah, when you put it that way Gum does sound like a must-have on a Survivalist toolset, & Ninja were pretty survivalists
Genuinely curious to see what in the world you could mean by the title.
I find myself waiting for which ninja videos. Especially when it says uploaded 35min ago 🥰
Looking at this new game I just see a combination of the mythical ninja (transformation, "summoning" weapons, and so forth) with the idea of "What would ninja be in modern times". Blending in is incredibly important for a ninja, so being up on modern fashion would be something that they care A LOT about.
I'm planning to make a video game in the future and you have inspired me to add culture from around the world into it
Oh you're doing a Digimon video? You're going to have a field day with all the mythology references in that franchise.
You and lonely goomba are the best and most important goombas of all time
Looking forward to playing this in two days
Man, I was just thinking, I hope Gijin does an episode on this.
From the minute I saw you comment on the release video I knew to expect a video on ninjala sooner or later. can we hope to expect you playing it on Twitch when it comes out?
That's a great question and I too look forward to the stream
6:33 holy crap. I got that exact same box for the winter holidays.
I saw this game and was waiting for this episode
I’m so excited for this game
I haven’t been sure rather I like this game or not but this video settles it! I want it! It’s the first time I see the stages too. Also, I love the change in the seasons in Japan!
The Bushin no Jutsu is one I don’t think any ninja fan is gonna escape.
I haven’t watched your videos in forever lol
I have a video idea involving FF7R and how the whispers of fate are based off kuroko. Feel free to use that premise for a video.
Also awesome work as always, GG GG.
I just knew you were gonna cover this.
Black black sounds awesome! I wish they sold that here in florida. Spicy gum is best gum and caffine to boot? Dang. Thanks for going so in depth. Wait theres gum for helping ya think too?! Come on japan pls export your gums here! I garantee people will buy it ;-; I know I would.
Also thank you for humbling my perspective on gum I forgot all about how invaluable gum is as an adhesive. I need to get some more for my MacGyver kit in my backpack. Im a little obsessed with crazy preparation.
Ok, what madness is this? Every time I hear the intro music,i can HEAR Gaijin Goombah sing it, but he hasn't done it ONCE! WHY DO I HAVE THIS MEMORY!?
When i saw the trailer my first thouth was Gajin will have a field day whith this.
I just saw the trailer last night, interesting to see what will happen
This was a very interesting video. 🙂
I like it.
Dude that Lupin III gum line is hilarious. I want that.
Dang, Gaijin Goomba, i thought you were abducted by Aliens. You left MatPats Channel and I never heard from you again. Good to still your channel is still alive.
when i saw the trail i KNEW you HAD TO make a video about it
