RC9GN Theory: The Ultimate Lesson and The Ninja Mask

*Spoilers for those who haven't seen the series yet*

While creating an RC9GN au/future story idea in my head titled "The Tengu Warrior", I started to think about the Tengu's connection to the ninja mask which made me start to analyze some things that lead to this theory post. In the Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja episode, "Evil Spirit Week", viewers are introduced to the mystical bird demon called a Tengu. According to what the Ninjanomicon told Randy, the Tengu was an evil bird demon the first ninja battled but couldn't destroy. It was only until the first ninja found the source of the Tengu's powers that he was able to imprison the demon bird in the eye of eternity. The first ninja weaved the feathers of the Tengu together to create the ninja mask that Randy and countless others have used to fight the Sorcerer and protect Norrisville. Back when I watched the episode the first time, I didn't really make much of it and thought it was some cool lore for the tv series. But now, I realized a few things. Based on the imagery Randy was shown in the Nomicon about the Tengu, I strongly believe that the First Ninja basically up and grabbed feathers off the Tengu, technically stealing them. That combined with being imprisoned in the eye of eternity equals to one angry mystical demon bird. One thing I learned from folklore, urban legends, religion, media, and books, is that it is NEVER a good idea to make a demon angry. The Nomicon also told Randy that the Tengu and ninja (through the ninja suit) are forever linked. That they share strengths and weaknesses. Who's to say that the Tengu didn't take advantage of the link. So, this is where my theory comes in. I believe that the Tengu cursed the ninja suit and whoever wears it in revenge for the stolen feathers and imprisonment.

I don't know what this curse fully entails, but I think it ties into the need for The Ultimate Lesson. In "Enter the Nomicon" Randy tells Mac Antfee that the knowledge of all the Ninja's powers and abilities can make a person go crazy if they are not mind wiped after four years. I believe that is due to the influence of the Tengu. Wearing a suit made of demon feathers and basically using powers fueled by demon energy can likely make anyone go insane over a period a time. It's possible that those who are 'pure of heart' can withstand the corrupting effects of the Tengu feathers for a limited time before they develop an obsession for the ninja powers. I think The Ultimate Lesson is a method to save each ninja and purge them of the Tengu's influence mentally and physically.
