The Enchanted Temple

The Enchanted Temple is a building where Plop Plop remained as guardian of the power ball for 800 years, after the events of "Randy Cunningham: 13th Century Ninja".

Description[]

During First Ninja's time in his flashback it was shown that the temple was above ground. It was a large traditional Japanese-style building with three separate towers; two of which are built at opposite ends and with their own entrances and stone steps respectively and a much larger tower in the middle with an even larger entrance through which First Ninja exited out of after giving the power ball to Plop Plop.

800 years later, the temple was hidden in the sewers. The entrance to which is hidden behind a waterfall. On one of the walls of the sewer was button resembling the Norisu Nine emblem. When pushing the button, the waterfall would stop flowing and reveal the entrance behind it. The entrance is decorated with the Ninja symbol, two were embedded on the green handles of the door and with a much larger symbol embedded on the wall above the door.

In the room which held the ball was decorated with golden color wallpaper and golden pillars. The ball was perched atop the beaks of two cranes statues surrounded by a zen garden and four small bridges on all four sides. It's shown that this room is the first room upon entering the temple as demonstrated by First Ninja as he exited the temple and when Randy and Howard entered the temple.

The Sacred Seal that protects Plop Plop from the power ball’s possession.

By the door, on the ground is the sacred seal which protects the guardian from possession from the power ball. The seal is a stone engraving of a green ball surrounded by a mist pattern likely resembling Stank; placed on two Cranes with three ninja symbols in-between them. The seal was broken after the ball was removed from the temple and was implied to be irreparable after being broken.

History[]

Randy was given the quest to go to the temple and replenish the guardian's supplies, similar to the Ninjas before him in the episode "Aplopalypse Now." After it was revealed that the guardian was none other than Plop Plop and upon realizing how old he was, Randy persuaded Plop plop to temporarily leave the temple and simply take the ball with them, so that he could act as their guardian allowing them to watch a horror movie.

After Plop Plop was moved to the NinjaNomicon, it can be assumed that the temple is now abandoned.

Trivia[]

It's revealed that every four years, A Ninja must replenish the guardian's supplies as he can't leave himself. However, now it doesn't seem necessary due to Plop Plop now living in the Nomicon.
The two creatures seen together on the floor of the temple and as a statue holding the chaos pearl in place, which are called red cranes, who are considered as a symbol of longevity.
The Enchanted Temple appeared only in one episode.
It is known as "The Enchanted Temple" as First Ninja referred to it as so, during his narration of the guardian.
The temple itself was quite large as it made First Ninja look smaller in comparison as he exited through the door.
Only one room was shown in the temple despite the likelihood of living arrangements for Plop plop.
The temple bears a striking resemblance to the temple seen in the Nomicon at the end of "the 13th Century Ninja."
It is unknown how the temple was moved from above ground to the sewers, however a likely explanation could be with the help of magic, as the word "enchanted" means "a place under a spell"
- It could be similarly to the mystical room which hid the Sorcerer's Key, which was in a pocket dimension inside a locker in the school. The temple might also sit within a pocket dimension inside the sewers with the door being the entrance.
The sewer tunnel and the interior of the temple was designed by Erik Martin, and painted by Jack Cusumano.
