–Transformation announcement of Arashi, Henshin Ninja Arashi |
Hayate (ハヤテ ) is the protagonist in 1972 tokusatsu drama Henshin Ninja Arashi, which transformed into Arashi the Transformed Ninja (変身忍者 嵐, Henshin Ninja Arashi, lit. "Storm").
Character History[]
Hayate was born in a family who has served as right-hand man of the Majin Sai, the leader of the Blood Wheel Party for generations. Knowing Majinsai's evil ambitions, he voluntarily offers himself to turn into Transformed Ninja Arashi by using secret techniques invented by his father; Kiju of the Valley, known as Human Transformation Secrets (人間変身の秘伝, Ningen Henshin no Hiden). After his father was killed as soon as the Blood Wheel Party learned of their plans to leave the group, Hayate vows to avenge his father's death, and traveled throughout Japan, accompanied by local Iga ninja: Tatsumaki, his children Kasumi and Tsumuji, and a mysterious ninja who helps Arashi fight against the Blood Wheel Party and their Incarnated Ninja.
Halfway through the series, the Blood Wheel Party sends the Western Youkai Army after Arashi. Injured in a fight, Arashi is helped by the unknown ninja who reveals himself to be Tsukinowa, Hayate's brother. The brothers would merge and become Shinsei Arashi and finally defeat the man pulling the strings, Great Satan.
Arashi the Transformed Ninja[]
Hayate shouts "Blow, Arashi, Arashi, Arashi" (吹けよ嵐、嵐、嵐, Fukeyo Arashi, Arashi, Arashi) while taking a transformation pose, and when he hit his sword's guard on his back, his cranial nerves start abnormal activity due to the sword's special vibration, changing the cell arrangement of his body and transforming him into Arashi. Since Episode 21, he began to transform himself with only poses and shouts without using a sword[note 1].
Defeat the enemy with quick movements and numerous ninjutsu, Arashi also has an ability to find the enemy's whereabouts with a smell even if he can't see. The main weapons are the same sword as Hayate used for transformation, Hayakaze, and Feather Shuriken as before the transformation. Also used bows and arrows, flying kites, explosive balls, blowguns, and lanterns. The main special moves are Secret Sword Shadow Break and Arashi Whirlwind Cut.
Arashi, who was dropped into the crater by Majinsai in episode 39, united with his brother Tsukinowa in the lava and powered up to become Shinsei Arashi (新生嵐 lit. "New Storm"). The weapon used is Baton and the special move is Gun Beam. Arashi transforms by jumping while taking the same pose as before joining while screaming "Henshin" (変身 lit. "Transformation"). There is a weakness that when he transforms, his mother, who has been cursed by Great Satan, suffers from hell, and cannot transform frequently. Arashi transforms back into human by saying "Gyaku Henshin" (逆変身 lit. "Reverse Transformation").

Footnotes[]
- ↑ The transformation scene called "Transformation due to the vibration of the sword's guard" was quickly simplified as it was unpopular from the production side as "too redundant" immediately after the program started. Arashi suddenly appeared from the middle stage, and it was planned to increase Arashi's turn[1].
