I've seen some of the incorrect terminology (like the incorrect use of
Niten Ryu) on the official Nick website, so I can see that carrying over to the Playmates site. Other bits are just extremely common misspellings (Nin
jitsu instead of Nin
jutsu) or, for a show that uses a Ninja master for added authenticity in terms of martial arts and Ninja philosophy, things I would consider omissions (mentioning Bushido but never mentioning Ninpo) but aren't in any way going to kill the authenticity that I'm extremely glad they've brought into this show.
They're not a big deal, though. They're certainly showing some authenticity through some of the pictures seen on the profiles. That sort of thought going into this show in terms of martial arts and Ninja stealth skills is completely awesome! While I don't expect this show to actually teach kids to do authentic Edo period vengeance killing-style Innin or to educate kids on the contents of the
Ninjutsu Gokui Hidensho, I've been excited ever since I heard a year ago that one of the head writers is actual a student of Ninpo.
