Line 111:
In the NES trilogy, Joe leaves Ryu with the Dragon Sword to engage in a duel (later revealed to be one of Jaquio's minions Bloody Malth). The outcome of the fight is not seen, but Joe winds up becoming controlled by Jaquio's magic. Ryu breaks the sorcerer's hold on his father and frees him. In the current series, Joe constantly leaves to continue his training, as Ryu states his father is "never satisfied with the power he wields". In ''Ninja Gaiden II'', Joe fails to prevent Elizébet, Queen of the Greater Fiends, from taking the statue sealing the Archfiend, as he duels with Genshin, Overlord of the Black Spider Ninja Clan. Injured and blinded, he tasks his son to prevent the Archfiend from resurrecting.
Joe returns in ''Ninja Gaiden
* {{spoiler|[[Back for the Dead]]}}: {{spoiler|Returns in the end of the first NES game, only to [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|die in his son's arms]]}}.
Line 195:
* [[Action Girl]]: Got her chance to shine in ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2''.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Butterflies, from her choice of clothes, to their color and her inconic sash.
* [[Art Evolution]]: To coincide with her appearance in ''Dead or Alive 5'', Ayane will get this treatment for ''Ninja Gaiden
* [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Almost everything related to Ayane is purple, including her hair, clothes, aura, ninpo, explosive shurikens, etc.
** [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Purple everywhere! However...
Line 347:
* [[Cool Chair]]: Fitting for the Archfiend of Hell.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Dark God Vigoor.
** [[Dragon with an Agenda]]: Marbus doesn't seem concerned about his master being dead when he comes back in ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma
* [[Flat Character]]: For someone who is said to be Doku's superior, Marbus has less exposition. Ironically, he gets more of it in his small role for ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2''.
* [[Flunky Boss]]: The only boss to be that way in Normal in the first game. He actually uses minor ''bosses'' as flunkies. And in higher difficulties, he hides behind Nicchae and Ishtaros... who are actually harder than he is.
Line 373:
* [[MacGuffin Guardian]]: In the normal sense same as Kureha, Momiji is not only a [[Ninja]], but a shrine maiden tasked with protecting the Dragon Clan's treasure Eye of the Dragon.
* [[The Medic]]: Sort of. She uses her powers to soothe the pain in Ryu's cursed arm in ''Ninja Gaiden 3''.
* [[Miko]]: Even her default costume mirrors that of the archetype, but is done in a way that it compliments her dual-role of a kunoichi. However, Momiji does appear in the traditional white ''haori'' (kimono jacket) and red ''hakama'' (trousers) in ''Ninja Gaiden
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Momiji blames herself for Kureha's death to some extent, as she wasn't in the Hayabusa Village when Doku was razing it to the ground.
* [[Ninja]]: Originally she was only this, a [[Ninja]] (or rather Kunoichi) in training. Then Kureha dies, and Momiji had no other choice but to replace her sister due their Dragon Lineage.
