Why it matters
Putting the full three-performance run on U-NEXT, each with its own cast send-off video and a catch-up window, means the Amagasaki anniversary show is no longer limited to the people inside the gymnasium.

The show commemorates the 110th anniversary of Amagasaki's incorporation as a city and sends the Ninjutsu Academy students into present-day Amagasaki after a lightning strike. Each performance carries a catch-up window and a cast-specific virtual send-off video, and the December 13 noon showing features the Tasogaredoki Ninja Corps.
The staging splits in two: drama at Baycom Sogo Gymnasium, combined with real-time relays from locations around Amagasaki City, then a music live in the second part. The stream uses switched camera footage. In the story the Dokutake Ninja Corps reach the present day as well, setting up a battle that crosses eras. Nintama Musical adapts Soubee Amako's manga Rakudai Ninja Rantaro and the anime built on it, and was born in 2010.
