[Warning: spoilers ahead!] Ninja appeared to have secured a major victory over the boss after a grueling, 30-minute battle, celebrating his seemingly final Shinobi Execution with a triumphant exclamation. However, Ninja didn\u2019t know that the boss had a second form; he quickly swiveled the camera around as the Ape came to life, carrying its severed head as it rushed toward him.
