Quick facts

What this episode coverage can verify
The accessible sources identify the core setup: Manmaru is brought by Jiya into a mountain rivalry among ninja clans, where Tanutaro and Tsunejiro react badly to the idea that a penguin with a soccer dream is their new recruit. Early episodes should be approached as premise-establishing comedy built from training mishaps and animal-character reactions.

Source note: PopRot researched this guide from TV Asahi’s program guide, Anime News Network encyclopedia data, and the English Wikipedia/Wikidata summary of Ninpen Manmaru. No anime-specific Fandom wiki was found for this property during this run, and AniList/Kitsu access was unavailable or incomplete, so episode-level scene recaps are intentionally source-limited rather than invented.
