| “ | We tend the Emperor's garden! - Shinobi |
” |
The Shinobi is the infiltration infantry of the Empire of the Rising Sun in Red Alert 3 and Uprising.
Background[]
| “ | My blade is yours! - Shinobi |
” |
The black-cowled Shinobi are ninja-like operatives of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Shinobi can not only infiltrate structures to cause all sorts of mayhem, but can also swim and are able to run as fast as cheetahs. These shadow warriors are armed with traditional Japanese ninjatō swords and razor-sharp shurikens that can take down any organic units and small robotic units such as terror drones.
Deployment history[]
| “ | A Weed to be cut!! - Shinobi |
” |
During the Third World War, the Shinobi, especially in the Imperial perspective, were proven to be powerful infantry killers especially in The Death of Father Frost and Barbarians at the Bay. Thanks to their ninjutsu training, the Shinobis are able to pop up in front of enemy infantry and rapidly cut them down to size with their sword.
In the Soviet and Allied perspectives of the war, the Shinobi proved to be a real troublemaker and menace against the two powers, seeing enemy infantry as weeds to be cut with their ninja-to and shuriken.
During Yuriko's perspective of the Uprising, a number of Shinobi was among the interior guards of the Shiro Sanitarium during her breakout and her subsequent return. Obviously, their lightning-fast speed, razor-sharp ninja-to and even sharper shuriken made them perfect "Psi-goons" for Izumi, Yuriko's sister.
