Actually, there are only three factions, according to TLG. They are the Blue
Clan Samurai, the Red Robbers, and the Red Ninjas. The Blue Clan is teamed
with the Dark Gray Ninjas, the Red Robbers are teamed with the Black Ninjas,
and the Red Ninjas are led by the Ninja Princess and the Evil Shogun (Daimyo).
If there are "subthemes" for Ninja, then these would be it.
