Why It Kicks Butt For 800 Years

 * 1) This is one of the few episodes before Randy Cunningham: 13th Century Ninja where the plot is really good.
 * 2) Randy and Howard are likable characters, with the former saving his Nomicon in order to stop revealing the ninja's wisdom to his enemies.
 * 3) While bland, McFist, Sorcerer, and Viceroy are likable villains in this episode, as the latter attempted to open the book using his Red Stank.
 * 4) The action scenes, excluding the Ninja Tiger Paws scene, are decent.
 * 5) * However, Randy did learn some of his lessons to defeat the Robo-Apes and escape McFist Industries, which is good.
 * 6) Speaking of that, the Ninja Tiger Paws scene is funny, despite being a filler.
 * 7) The opening scene is decent since Randy has to climb the mountain and show how he is worthy enough to challenge.
 * 8) Howard giving the Nomicon to Randy is a heartwarming scene, but sadly it is short-lived due to Bash stealing the Nomicon.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Bash is a mean-spirited character who wanted to steal Randy Nomicon and tease the other Robo-Apes.
 * 2) Some mean-spirited moments:
 * 3) * Randy grabbing Bash's shirt when he believes that he stole his Nomicon (it is partially true though).
 * 4) * Bash teasing the Robo-Apes, which makes them feel disappointed.
 * 5) * The Sorcerer "Stanking" Randy's Nomicon.
 * 6) The Ninja Tiger Paws scene is a filler, despite being funny at times.
