KR Shinobi feels like a one-time thing in Zi-O. If he won't be official in Reiwa, it's better to have a new replacement for him in a new yet better ninja rider series.

Help find good inspiration from various ninja pop cultures like:

• Mortal Kombat: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Cyrax, Sektor, Kitana, Mileena, etc.
• GI Joe: Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Jinx & Kamakura
• Naruto
