Line 49:
* [[Cores and Turrets Boss]]: Clancy's second form
* [[The Dragon]]
**
*
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: He believes in this philospophy.
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]
Line 69:
* [[Action Girlfriend]]: Irene and Ryu were already an item in ''The Ancient Ship of Doom'', and she has her moments in it.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Originally a brunette in the NES trilogy and OVA, but is a blonde as of ''Dead Or Alive Dimensions''.
*
*
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her appearance in ''Dead or Alive Dimensions'', which is the only daring part of her attire now. {{spoiler|Even when she was "Sonia's [[Hotter and Sexier|shoes]]"}}, Irene remains quite modest.
* [[Chickification]]: Hit her hard in the OVA; in fact, she's not even a [[Faux Action Girl]], but a [[Damsel in Distress]] from start to finish.
Line 78:
** [[You Don't Look Like You]]: As a result
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Even as a CIA agent, Irene isn't the most dependable ally.
*
* [[Happily Married]]: With Ryu as of ''Dead or Alive''; later games in the series try to make it ambiguous by only going as far as to state they're still together.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: The fact Irene runs her "husband's" antique shop is only seen in a brief passage for the first ''Dead or Alive'' official guide that Tecmo released back then. This is only supported by the OVA, as Irene never actually appeared in Dead or Alive until ''Dimensions'', and we don't see her taking care of the shop in it either.
* [[Mission Control]]: For Ryu in ''Dead or Alive Dimensions''.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Does this as one of the few reveals in ''The Ancient Ship of Doom''}}.
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: The OVA shows Irene cutting all ties with the CIA. ''Dimensions'', however, shows she still has at least some contact with the agency.▼
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Japanese romanizations found on their official guides for the original trilogy had Irene as ''Aileen''; the fansubbers for the OVA also spelled her name this way.
▲* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: The OVA shows Irene cutting all ties with the CIA. ''Dimensions'', however, shows she still has at least some contact with the agency.

{{quote|Debuting in: Ninja Gaiden (NES) }}
Line 94:
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: ''Purple skin''
*
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the first NES game.
**
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Guardia de Mieux is his real name; Jaquio [[Red Baron|is simply a title]].
* [[One-Winged Angel]]
Line 113:
Joe returns in ''Ninja Gaiden III''.
*
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Done to him by Jaquio in the first NES game}}.
*
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Ken for the NES series, but the current series rectifies this back to Joe on both sides of the Pacific.
*
*
* [[The Obi-Wan]]
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Phoenitically, it can be either "Jô" or "Joe".
Line 177:
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Quite literally, as despite a vast array of weapons Ryu finds, the Dragon Sword proves itself to be the best overall. Later justified since the True Dragon Sword is the only weapon in-universe capable enough to destroy Greater Fiends.
* [[Ninja]]
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: In the OVA, Ryu claims he would abandon his duties as a ninja in his clan, if it would mean being with Irene forever. Contrast how he's portrayed elsewhere, as he's bound by duty and honor. May double as a [[Screw Destiny]].
* [[Red Right Hand]]: In ''Ninja Gaiden 3'', the Regent of the Mask curses him with the "Grip of Murder", forcing the Dragon Sword to be absorbed by his right arm. Doubles with [[Tainted Veins]].
