Ninja Warrior Worldwide 9

'''A reminder that the following article was finalised and completed before August 2020. This reminder is necessary, due to controversies in the Ninja community.''' Ninja Warrior Worldwide 9 is the ninth tournament of Ninja Warrior Worldwide. For this season, ShadicMCGS returned as the host for his ninth season, Jagon11 becomes the new sideline reporter, replacing T2T, while both realityisawesome and SasukeRBLX07 were signed on to be co-hosts, alternating after 10 runs (meaning one of them could be co-hosting, while one of them would be competing).

While sorting the competitor pool, Shadic has been making the official NWW competitor statistics that shows who was statistically the best ninja of the series. The statistics can be found here.
