Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki

"Ninjitsu Art" ( (にん) (ぽう) Ninpō) is an archetype of Spell and Trap Cards used by Jean-Claude Magnum in the second series anime, Kaze and Scritch in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, and Sun Shadow and Moon Shadow in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. They provide support for the "Ninja" archetype.

The archetype's names lack the words for "art" in the French, Italian and Portuguese versions. This is perhaps because the word "ninjitsu" is already unique by itself, but also because the words for "art" may be in unfavorable positions in card names (for example, being completely separated from "ninjitsu", as in "Arte della Liberazione Ninjitsu"), or they may be affected by grammatical number (as in, for example, "Village Caché des Arts Ninjitsu"). In the Spanish version, a backward word order is used for the name to make sure it won't be affected by grammatical number (normally, attributive words follow the main noun, not the other way around like this case).
