A hand-drawn ninja platformer with 80 stages across four chapters, eight bosses, and a one-life dash combat system. The mod build keeps the same level design and physics, with the gold and gems wall removed.
What is Ninja Arashi 2
Ninja Arashi 2 is the sequel to the 2017 hand-drawn ninja platformer by Black Panther. You play as Arashi, a master shinobi who has just broken out of a frozen prison and is hunting the shadow demon Dosu to rescue his son. The game runs as a side-scrolling action platformer with hard-edged combat, traversal puzzles, and stages that lean on twitch timing rather than long combat encounters.
The campaign is built around 80 stages split across four chapters. Each chapter introduces a new biome, a new enemy set, and a boss fight that closes the arc. The control scheme is virtual stick on the left, three action buttons on the right: jump, dash, shuriken. The dash doubles as the air mobility tool and the parry, which is the gear that the whole combat tempo rides on.
The free version is supported by interstitial ads and an in-game shop where gold and gems gate the costume slots, the artifact upgrades, and the alternate weapon sets. Progression without paying is slow, which is what the modded build at the top of this page unlocks. Aggregator mirrors like APKPure and HappyMod also distribute the standard build, but the link stack here points at the modded variant first.

What this mod offers
The community build of Ninja Arashi 2 1.9.6 keeps the same 80 stages, four chapters, and combat physics as the official Black Panther release. What changes is the soft-currency wall that gates costume slots, artifact upgrades, and weapon sets in the free version.
- Unlimited gold and gems.
Currency reads high from launch. Costumes, artifact tiers, alternate weapons, and the late-game upgrade trees open without grinding or watching ad bundles.
- All costumes and weapons unlocked.
The costume slots and the alternate katana, dual-blade, and shuriken sets are buyable from chapter one instead of unlocking on a level gate.
- Lives boosted to 999.
The retry budget per stage is no longer the bottleneck. Useful for the chapter-three and chapter-four boss patterns that take multiple reads to clear.
- No dash cooldown.
The mid-air dash refills on the next frame instead of pausing. The platforming becomes a fluid traversal tool rather than a budgeted resource.
- Artifacts and upgrades unlocked.
Every artifact slot and every upgrade-tree node is purchasable on day one, including the chapter-four gear that normally caps behind currency walls.
- Ad pacing reduced.
The forced interstitial pacing between stages is trimmed so the rhythm of the platforming stays in the foreground.

- Yes. The official Ninja Arashi 2 from Black Panther is free to download on the Play Store. The game is ad-supported with optional in-app purchases for gold, gems, costumes, and artifact bundles.
- How is the mod build different from the official version?
- The mod uses the same 80 stages, four chapters, and combat physics as the Black Panther release. What changes is that the gold and gems balance reads high from launch, lives are boosted, the dash cooldown is removed, and costume and weapon slots unlock from chapter one instead of behind currency walls.
- Does Ninja Arashi 2 need Wi-Fi to play?
- No. The campaign runs offline on local save data. The game works in airplane mode and on devices with no SIM card. Cloud save sync is optional and only triggers when you sign into a Google Play Games profile.
- What Android version do I need?
- Ninja Arashi 2 1.9.6 requires Android 8.0 (Oreo) or above. The build is a universal APK that runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Android devices.
- How big is the download?

- Is the modded APK safe to install?
- The file mirrored on this page has the same package signature as the build aggregators like APKPure mirror for the same version. Sideloading still carries the standard caveats: install only from sources you trust, and treat the modded build as evaluation-only if you plan to keep playing the official release after.
