ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 6 spoilers: Nathan Fillion and ‘The Way of the Ninja’

While Nathan Fillion may or may not be actually practicing “The Way of the Ninja” on “Castle” later on during season 6, let’s face it: The title of this article was much too good to pass up.

“The Way of the Ninja” is actually, per SpoilerTV, the title for the upcoming 18th episode of the season, and it is a pretty funny one to boot. We’re going to go ahead here and assume that this is meant to be one of the funnier episodes, and it has a premise somewhere along the lines of this:

1. Castle and Beckett find a body with a series of wounds from throwing stars, nunchucks, and other ninja equipment.

2. Rick automatically thinks that a cult of secret ninja assassins swept in, killed this man or woman, and then escaped once again into the shadows.

3. At some point, there will be at least one person actually dressed up as a ninja.

4. In the end, this was all a smokescreen for some sort of larger agenda.

It is possible that we are entirely off-base with this theory, but this is how we envision it going in our mind.

Also, for a bonus scoop know this: The title of the 19th episode is going to be “The Greater Good,” which is far more ambiguous and something that is not nearly as fun. With there reportedly being at least 23 episodes this season, we expect this to be the one that really propels us into what happens during May. Therefore, it’ll probably be pretty serious.

Prior to this episode, though, we do have some other great mysteries including “Door 147” (which you can watch a sneak peek for here), along with “The Belly of the Beast,” which will feature Beckett going undercover.
