The premise

When a tragedy befalls their fellow students on graduation day, three pupils of the Hayate Way's Ninja Academy must take on the Jakanja — a clan of evil space warriors. But they can't do it alone. Can they find the help they need? And can the young warriors act swiftly enough to defeat the Jakanja before they destroy the known universe?

Horror Vault's take

Three underdog ninja students find themselves thrust into a galaxy-spanning conflict when a ruthless clan of space warriors strikes their academy on graduation day. Armed with ancient ninjutsu and high-tech arsenal, the trio must forge unlikely alliances to stand any chance against an enemy with the power to unmake the universe itself. Equal parts high-flying martial arts spectacle and Saturday-morning charm, Hurricaneger blends giant robot showdowns with colorful heroes and relentless monster-of-the-week stakes.
