Ep. 1968: Shinbei struggles with wall climbing while friends suspect his weight

1968

First-year Ha-class nintama students are engaged in training exercises that require them to scale walls. During this practice session, Shinbei is the only student unable to successfully complete the task. His classmates, Rantarou and Kirimaru, observe his difficulty and conclude that his physical weight is the primary obstacle. Consequently, they determine that Shinbei must be cautious about his food intake. The pair decides to approach him to warn him against overeating, believing that reducing his consumption will help him improve his climbing abilities and keep up with the rest of the group during their ninja training.
