Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja Wiki

Secrets of the 9 are a series of post-series information regarding Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. After Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja season 2 is assumed to be behind by Scott Thomas, he decided to spill about the series' important trivia.[1]

Secrets[]

  1. "The Land of Shadows is only one of nine dark realms. Nine realms, nine Norisu brothers. Coincidence? Are you honkin’ nuts?"[2]
  2. "Theresa Fowler is Randy’s true love. But Howard is still Randy’s true brove. That’s a word, right? Yeah, sure it is."[3]
  3. "The Creep…guys, seriously, what to tell you about The Creep (aka Bruce McCheese)… He has never been a ninja. He is the chosen messenger. He passes the Nomicon and mask on to the chosen ninja, but he does not choose. The Nomicon (or the spirit of ninja residing within) chooses. And when they found Randy… H'oh boy. They knew they had the strongest ninja yet because he was willing to learn from his mistakes. He did not let his mistakes crush him; he let his mistakes CREATE him. The Creep is immortal, but he was not around when First Ninja settled what would be Norrisville. The Creep came from another time… (Also he’s been in one shot of almost every episode)"[4]
  4. "There are 9 chapters to the NinjaNomicon. The Tale of the Sorcerer was only chapter 1. If First Ninja was present in the first chapter, who might be there to help Randy through the other eight?"[5]
  5. "McFist was at Norrisville High in 1985, the same time that Mac Antfee was the ninja. Could McFist’s dislike for the ninja stem from this? Could it be that McFist was Howard to Mac’s Randy? Could their friendship have soured in a way that Randy and Howard’s never will? Could I use “could” again? If Randy were to stop McFist once and for all, it would mean bringing peace to whatever went down between these two…"[6]

Trivia[]

  • Only five of the nine secrets were revealed in between 2015-18. The bigger reason appears to be the series being severely shortened after Season 2.
    • Several crucial details can still be deduced from these five pieces of known information:
      • First Secret: There are eight more dark realms aside from Land of Shadows, and thus the greatest evil that is the penultimate villain stronger than Sorcerer, Evil Julian, and Sorceress, who is presumed to be the creator of the Chaos Pearls might be heavily implied to be the ultimate villain Randy would eventually defeat in the end.
      • Second Secret: Theresa and Randy will have a (in this case, offscreen) healthy and long-lasting romantic relationship, which essentially consolidates their in-series reciprocated feelings coming to fruition. Simultaneously, Randy and Howard will continue being best friends, with Randy learning to balance two kinds of relationships, and Howard forming a better friendship with Randy as well.
      • Third Secret: The Creep is revealed to be immortal and older than the Norrisville Ninja's legacy, and also being the Messenger who follows the NinjaNomicon's instructions on picking the right Ninja candidate. The reason of why the Creep, and to a larger extent, the Nomicon picked Randy after the events in "When Howie Met Randy" was having sensed Randy's courage and quick-learning on fixing mistakes, and that Randy would actually be the strongest Ninja who could defeat the ultimate evil. This also essentially means that Randy is most likely the last Ninja of the Norrisville Ninja legacy (until possibly a new evil rises in the distant future).
      • Fourth Secret: There are nine chapters in the Nomicon. The Sorcerer is only the first villain Randy faced, and Sorceress and Evil Julian only being the second and third respectively. First Ninja's eight deceased brothers are also implied to be residing in the other realms within the Nomicon.
      • Fifth Secret: McFist's status as a Norrisville High alumni, founder of Norrisville High Mustache Society, and relation to Mac Antfee are brought to attention. Mac Antfee is, in fact, stated here to be the main reason of why McFist has gone down the path of villainy by issuing robot attacks and allying with the Sorcerer. McFist and Mac were also indirectly stated here to be former best friends similar to Randy and Howard's dynamic when they were teenagers, only for them to eventually fall out (presumably over a serious incident caused by Mac's inflated ego) and for McFist to forget why exactly he wants to enact his revenge on the Ninja (which is heavily implied to be correspondent to fragmentation of memories caused by a forced mind-wipe from the Nomicon). While this secret underscores that Randy and Howard will eventually form a solidified and improved friendship with each other, Randy will also be the one to finally end the robot attacks induced by McFist, by finally helping McFist remember and make amends with Mac.
