[[Dead or Alive/Characters|The character sheet]] is under construction.
 
Though sometimes shortened to DOA, not at ''all'' to be confused with the [[Film Noir]] ''[[D.O.A.|DOA]]'' (which is quite lacking in boobies in comparison), the 1999 [[Yakuza]] ''Dead or Alive'' film series by director [[Takashi Miike]] (likewise), or the [[Tom Clancy]] novel ''Dead or Alive'' (likewise, though there is one amusing bit about an attempt at [[wikipedia:Steganography|steganography]] resulting in inadvertent porn). For the viewer's inconvenience, the 2007 [[The Movie|film adaptation]] of the games is titled ''DOA: Dead or Alive'', instead.
 
The fifth installment is currently{{when}} under development and scheduled for release during 2012.{{when}} So far (as of E3 2012) [[The Hero|Kasumi]], [[The Rival|Ayane]], [[Ninja Gaiden|Hayabusa]], [[Big Brother Mentor|Hayate]], [[Cute Bruiser|Hitomi]], [[Dark Action Girl|Christie]], [[Husky Russkie|Bayman]], [[Anime Chinese Girl|Lei Fang]], [[Fun Personified|Zack]], [[Pro Wrestling Is Real|Bass]], [[Foreign Fanservice|Tina]] and [[Genki Girl|Kokoro]] have been confirmed and shown to the public. The game has a deep graphic upgrade from ''Dead or Alive 4'' (not surprisingly, since it's been 7 years since then) and an aesthetic redesign that shows more realistic characters, with smaller and less anime-like eyes, the same to what was shown in ''[[Ninja Gaiden|Ninja Gaiden 3]]''. Special mention to the girls, who have more realistically proportionate bodies, although the [[Jiggle Physics]] are still in full display. In collaboration with [[Sega]], ''Dead or Alive 5'' will also feature [[Guest Fighter|Guest Fighters]] from the ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'' series. As of E3 2012, Akira Yuki and Sarah Bryant are a part of the roster (and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130628064841/http://shoryuken.com/2012/03/22/rumor-entire-dead-or-alive-5-cast-discovered-in-demo-code/ this list] suggests that Pai Chan will also make the leap).
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Every female character, obviously.
Line 35:
* [[Battle Butler]]: Christie, to Helena.
* [[Battle in the Rain]]
* [[Beach Episode]]: The Xtreme subseries is essentially a well crafted excuse to get all the girls into swimsuits. The first game featured just beach volleyball (the stereotypical beach sport) while 2 and 3 also add a plethora of other activities such as beach flags and jetskiing.
* [[Between My Legs]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhpv5rsHt4s Christie's ending] in ''Dead or Alive 4''. Also in the fight between Christie and Helena in the movie.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Gen Fu is really a sweet old man. But if you cross him, '''''watch out'''''.
Line 131 ⟶ 132:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: In ''Dead or Alive: Dimensions'', Irene Lew, Ryu's [[Love Interest]] from the original [[Ninja Gaiden|NES trilogy]], appears as his CIA contact during the story mode cut scenes. Hayate and Ayane both wonder if something is going on between them.
* [[Ninja]]: A lot of the cast.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Zack = Dennis Rodman. Or rather, the character is based on Yaz, a character Rodman portrayed in the movie ''[[Double Team]]''. Which became funnier when [[Ink Suit Actor| Rodman himself playedVAs Zack]] in ''Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball''.
* [[Notable Commercial Campaigns]]: The beloved/infamous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jfzh2s3jlE "She kicks high."] commercial for ''Dead or Alive 3''.
