"Bash Johnson: 11th Grade Ninja" is the twenty-fifth episode of the first season of Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. It premiered on June 29, 2013.

Synopsis[]

When school bully Bash is mistaken that he is the Ninja, Randy learns he must be a hero to all.

Plot[]

It's gravy-fries distribution day that only comes once per year, so Randy as the Ninja is trying to destank Pradeep. However, Bash comes in to use the restroom, and accidentally de-stanks Pradeep by straightening Pradeep's French horn. Ninja, although puzzled by what just occurred, smoke-bombs away to go get his share of gravy fries in a hurry and when the smoke clears, the band geek sees Bash before him. In that moment due to Stanknesia, he believes Bash is the Ninja, which Bash also believes in.

Randy soon begins to feel disgruntled not only because of Howard having stolen his basket of gravy fries, but also after all of the Norrisville students and staff believe and treat Bash like royalty. The Sorcerer, however, also finds out about this, and mistaking Bash as the Ninja, informs McFist, who is too busy with Marci's decorating plans to notice who is shown on the screen. The Robo-Apes, after receiving the information about Bash, have their protocol activated to capture Bash, while Viceroy activates the vaporizer.

Randy, after seeing how Bash actually gets to eat gravy fries, later shloomps into the Nomicon out of frustration to complain about Bash stealing his glory. The Nomicon thus gives him the lesson:

"Once the Ninja is known, he can never be unknown."

However, Randy once again misinterprets the lesson, causing the Nomicon to facepalm before vloomping him out.

After watching how Bash is allowed to have the privilege to break-dance in the hallway, Randy decides to take the mask in order to reveal his identity as the Ninja. Howard, who actually has enough common sense, wants to dissuade Randy, who doesn't bother listening. Bash, on this way to enjoy his privilege of sleeping in Slimovitz's office, then comes across Randy, who is about to reveal himself. Suddenly, McFist's Robo-Apes capture Bash, and bring him to McFist's vaporizer to destroy him. Randy finally realizes why he shouldn't reveal himself, and after being called out by Howard for almost doing so, transforms into the Ninja to save Bash as his obligation.

Upon seeing Bash in place of the Ninja, McFist panics and tries to stop the machine, but is informed by Viceroy that the machine was programmed to not be stopped. Randy, the real ninja, comes in disguised as a Robo-Ape, and after narrowly manages to destroy one of the Robo-Apes, saves Bash. McFist, having been foiled once again, is then bombarded with both an angry Sorcerer, and an angry Marci on the phone.

At school, Bash is forced to announce he is not the Ninja, leading to him being mocked and also hurt by the statue that resembles him. Pradeep apologizes to the real Ninja for making such a mistake and wonders who's behind the Ninja's mask, to which Ninja kindly refuses and smoke-bombs out, finally enough to make Pradeep remember that the real Ninja always uses the pungent smoke-bombs. Howard then gives Randy, who has de-transformed offscreen, some substitute gravy fries, which is enough to make Randy gag in disgust and discomfort after Howard tells him the truth. Watching his best friend vomit offscreen, Howard tries his own substitute gravy fries, and walks away in confusion as he has no problem digesting them.
