    (Updated: 7/10/2018) Not much to put here since this page was built SEVEN MONTHS AFTER Ninja Steel finished its 2017 run! But, the mega-ultra update project means this page needs to be here. Some of the features below this banter will be removed from this page because I just don't have the at-that-time numbers. But all will be included in the Super Ninja Steel ratings page, which is the NEXT item on the update itinerary!

   (MOST-WATCHED/LEAST-WATCHED CHART LEFT OUT)

   I've added the premieres-only audience averages here so I don't have to keep refiguring them. These show how toxic the massive summer hiatus has been each year to viewership. Look at how the average drops each time the new episodes resume in the fall. (Percentage of each year's erosion in red)
