Notes

  1. ↑ As the motif for Ninninger is ninjas and shurikens, the episodes are called "shinobi" (忍び).
  2. ↑ The series was originally scheduled to premiere on February 15, 2015. However, it was postponed due to the media coverage of the death of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on February 1, which delayed the airing of the finale of the previous series Ressha Sentai ToQger, by one week.
