The Story of RYU HAYABUSA and the Origins of Ninja Gaiden
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Now it's time to cover a character I feel like has been asked for since the conception of Honest Gaming History. Since 1988, this ninja has been giving evil the hands NON STOP. He comes from the ICONIC Ninja Gaiden series and has also made an appearance in Dead or Alive. Today on Honest Gaming History, we're covering Ryu Hayabusa, the legendary dragon ninja.

Dear people from all nations,
Myanmar military detained our democratically elected leaders including our state councellor Daw Aung San Su Kyi today.
We are being cut off all the telecommunications and broadcasting, currently only connection is through WIFI and not sure when it will be get cut off as well.This is offending the human rights.

#AungSanSuuKyi_government
Whoa
This is not a joke pls help repost or make this trend
I saw this on Twitter as well. Pinning this to raise attention.
Thanks you sir 🖤
I’m not joking fam, that seems really bad. Hope everything gets better. #SaveMyanmar
This man Ryu just doesn’t believe in taking L’s
L's? Naw we don't do that here lol
He must don't because he don't lose.
He lost to Kasumi in the first doa tournament and that pretty much it 😂
@@shoriyuken9483 Technically they didn't fight, Ryu saw the final boss crippling Kasumi's brother as Kasumi's fight, so he quit their fight to let her fight the final boss and avenge her brother. Then they fought doa2 and he destroyed her.
Doku did kinda give him an L
We all here after the trailer dropped😅
Can't wait to see the origins of Yakumo. Not to be overly optimistic, but I just KNOW he ain't some one-dimensional edgelord.
@@patrickmccarthy4444YES WE ARE!!
Yes
I’m here cause I saw ninja gaiden 2 black on game pass is there already a trailer for 4 😮
@@enriqueherrera5634 yup
The OP ninja himself, Ryu Hayabusa. I swear those NG games were hella difficult BUT fun to play and vice versa
Exactly difficult Game but OP'd Ninja worth it though the Game which cheats itself.
Honestly i had more trouble on ninja gaiden games then i did on dark souls 1,2 or 3 or sotfs
wdym? it was easy af especially master ninja
dark souls and sekiro game me more trouble
@@christopherserino2569 No matter how good you are at the games, master ninja is one of the most obviously ruthless challenges out there. Especially in NG2 and ultimate ninja in Razor's Edge, holy shit.
The thing about Ninjas are that they were the most real bad asses in history, they were people from the poorest parts of society and were oppressed by the Samurai, but they didn't lay down and take it they stood up to them through espionage, and the use of farm tools that became some of the most iconic ninja weapons. Fun fact the Nunchaku were originally made for thrashing grain.
So they are Japanese punks? Cool
The ninja worked for different feudal lords mainly as spies for hire. They may have been peasants but they didn't do what they did because they were oppressed and wanted to "stick it to the man". They were a tool for one daimyo to gain advantage over another through espionage, counter intel, sabotage and assassination.
Ah yes, Ryu Hayabusa. One of my favorite gaming characters.
He's a boss
The ultimate super ninja. Always ready to slice every wrong doing, even when faced with unsurmountable adversity, his sheer willpower knows only how to win, that is the life of a super ninja.
Word after doing this video I have so much respect for him
" So you mean lil bro jus bodied 12 other dragons that's some shit" LMFAO
This man’s name is actually “Dragon Falcon”
Ninja Gaiden has only taught me one thing
You can win a gun fight with a sword
So we are not going to talk about how my mans avatar be changing clothes in the same episode hey better than some anime people
Haha yeah. I needed something to standout form everyone using avatars...so I thought...SKIN PACKS. Now we gonna be changing costumes all the time. Thinking about doing a skin pack every month.
I just realized that Donte's fit is the clothes of Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho
Yup yusuke an toguro
It's just a Japanese school uniform
@@KaitouKaiju that's what yusuke wears in the show
2:23 OH BOY DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU?!?!?!
We need this to be a top comment!
05:20 actually Ryu has certain dislike towards American way of life as he has shown contempt towards Zack....
Dead or Alive 5
Not really, that's just zack
You sure it’s not just cuz Zack is…Zack?
Ryu himself looks pretty american. And Zack is of course, Zack
@@Love-Sensibility he doesnt at all but like La Mariposa said "you don't look very asian for a Ninja". Like Hayate in DoA5 to 6, he doesn't look asian, they look... different.
Fun fact both doa and ninja gaiden exist in the same universe as nioh.
REALLY? Interesting....
@@TheBlackMastadonte yeah, 2 of ryus ancestors appeared in nioh 1 and respectively and nyotengu was in nioh 2z which would make sense because she was around in that era as well
@@reggielacey2235I know I’m late but that’s cool as hell
honest gaming history: Samonosuke Akechi from Onimusha his story is WILD
No replys
I remember Samonosuke! I remember the Onimusha. I had Onimusha 3.. i may have even had the ones before it.. I had the one where the story had that time travel event going on where the past and future protagonist wind up having to fight the final boss, Nobunaga!
I still remember Nobunaga's quote after you defeat him..
"A man's life.. is 50 years... but a wink.. in the life of the cosmos.."
I forget what else he said after that, but it was an awesome game.
the Blue Demon is way stronger tho
I liked how Onimusha was a pitch for another Resident Evil game set in feudal Japan. It even had the iconic "this game contains scenes of explicit violence and gore" that resident evil had
@@FamousAaron99 i think Last one Dawn of dreams had the best Combat while 2 had the best story and 3 was in the middle
Just like with Terry Bogard Ryu Hayabusa was first introduced in the Ninja Gaiden series and made a appearance in the Dead or Alive series.
@Glaciartest This comment sadly didn't age well...
if you mess with my bacon egg and cheese you going to catch these hands is the most New Yorker thing I've ever heard in my life 10 out of 10 perfect
Haha appreciate it fam
Parks and Recreations' Ron Swanson is nodding somewhere. 😎
I swear Ryu is one of the few gaming characters with the CLEANEST record XDD love the vid donte!!!
I would drop so much money to see Ryu Hayabusa on Mortal Kombat
That would be a VERY dope addition
And street fighter and smash
@@thomashaugh8720no
It's hard to ask for another character when I honestly just wanna see you talk about Ryu Hayabusa more but I would prolly have to say Agent 47 from Hitman
Lol, well once NJ4 comes out I got your but for now Agent 47 is a pretty dope choice
YESSSSSSSSSSIR I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
Hope it was worth the wait
"Who is ryu hayabusa??"
Me: "A legendary dragon ninja you don't want to mess with."
Well the Dragon Warriors I think can beat him and is someone you damn sure don't want to fight.
@@jjohnson6382 what dragon warriors you talking about?
@@DarkSupaNinja Zhao Yun
@@jjohnson6382 is he from warriors orochi?
@@DarkSupaNinja Well he in Warriors Orochi but he is originally from Dynasty Warriors.
Finally I was waiting for this
now we need a Honest Gaming History: strider. Run that ninja hype train.
Strider is one of the goats
Thank you for putting all the Gaidens in one video. Loved it! Great work!
Man's is forever the Goat of all ninjas. His Izuna Otoshi is insane. Bro has literally been to hell and back too.
YES MY FAVORITE NINJA! Actually one of my favorite characters of all time.
Honest gaming history:Kiryu kazuma from yakuza,
Artyom from metro series
Ninja Gaiden is back
Honest Gaming History: Sam Fisher? Possibly? Maybe?
Yes
The legendary Ninja of War Ryu Hayabusa.
Ninja Gaiden 4 is out my man! We got there…
To add to ryu's already impressive resume. One of the Chapter descriptions in ninja gaiden 2 says ryu is the FIRST mortal to ever step foot in the underworld. Man doesn't fuck around.
Ayy! One of the best ninjas in media!
Bro. The editing, the jokes. It's great,you earned a subscriber
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome Video I Love Ryu Hayabusa Thank Mate
Thank you for watching!
I’m so happy Donte that you listened to a fellow Donte and made this video
BRO THANK GOD BRO CALLED IT 3 YEARS EARLIER THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING IT IN TO EXSISTANCE
Ryu always been that dude... I was confused by the series of the game cuz I played the modern ones so I got the jist of the story behind him... This clear everything up for me... Also his Izuna Drop is HARD to do in DOA lol
Haha yeah. The story gets pretty crazy once you include everything
Awe shit. The OG intro. Means a great 20+minute EP. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm here for it
Lmao true
Conscience: this story was way too long
Me : Jak and daxor was a long story
Sly Cooper was longer
Who’s here after Ninja Gaiden 4 announcement?!?
I am. I need a cool recap of the story right now lol
I like to think that Ryu got so powerful after the modern trilogy that he didnt even bother to wear his Black Tactical suit, and just went back to the blue fabric suit
Well that makes sense. There wasn't anyone who could face him anymore. Maybe the real Vigoor, the last big fish but he never returned. Maybe in the next game?
Dope vid bro. I played the OG Ninja Gaiden games when they came out. Thanks for putting this entertaining story together💪🏾
Thanks fam!!
@@TheBlackMastadonte You're welcome! I haven't played the recent 2 Ninja Gaiden games. So it helps from a story perspective.
Evil overlord: I have an army and these fools send one man? What's that poor bastard name?
Evil mook: I think his name is...Ryu... Hayabusa?
Evil lord:... If you excuse me, I'm going to write my will
BRO I KID YOU NOT, I JUST WATCHED THIS VIDEO LAST NIGHT AND I WAS WONDERING WHEN THEY WOULD DROP NG4..... AND THEY JUST RELEASED THE TRAILER TODAY !!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! NOW IM FINNA PLAY 1 THRU 3 AGAIN JUST CAUSE!!!
The level of production that this has gotten to is crazy 🔥
Aww thanks fam. My editor and I are putting a lot into it so I'm glad you enjoyed it
The most sense made of the Gaiden saga I’ve ever heard. Kudos gents for that.
I am really digging your guys' gaming history lore videos. No doubt Ryu is probably the more famous, popular and successful game ninja but my favorite gaming ninja will always be Joe Musashi from the Shinobi series, probably cause I'm an older gamer.
The first NG came out on the nes back in 1988 tho. But to each their own
I feel like he doesn't get a break. No wonder he doesn't hold back and leave bodies everywhere he goes.
Even if I finish ninja gaiden 2 and 3 now I understand more the history of ryu thanks to you guys . When I played it first I didn’t understand the history and I was hella confused .
Conscience forgot to add Dragons to the long list of enemies that Ryu has defeated. Don’t forget the Dark Dragon that the badass ninja defeated before.
Great Video Production. True feat of creativity. Idea: Good, Execution: Excellent
Been messing with this dude since his prototype video continue the great work bro
Thanks so much fam!
As a kid I fucking hated fighting the Doppleganger fiends as fun as they were lol. Now I just anticipate the next fight.
Honest gaming history: maverick hunter ZERO
I'll be brutally honest here is that the Megaman or Rockman universe is crazy.
@@zentoravenvigor4810
Rockman and megaman are the same character, rockman is his name over seas and megaman is his name in the americas😁👍🏾
And yhap, Zero comes from the X series
You know he’s gotta do X too
@@bobbyshewan4229
FAX
All the megaman are dope
Exe is a whole MONSTER on some dragonball super type shit and geo stellar is starting to grow on me after I beat starforce 1 a year ago🔥
Let's do it please
Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master Ninja difficulty was the absolute hardest thing I have ever done in my entire time of gaming.
Good storytelling as usual. Keep up the good work!
The announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4 2025 brought me here
Here in 2025 when ninja gaiden4 was just officially announced
Can u guys do a honest gaming history of ratchet and clank
^YES!!
Yeah I would like it see a honest gaming history of my childhood video game even though I only played crack in time
@@xenonblaz8583 bruuhh you gotta play the HD remaster on vita or ps4 they got it in the ps store all 3 OG games in HD!
@@reallyhimongod I played the remake for PS4 on disc and played a crack in time on PlayStation now but I don’t think they got the gd trilogy on PS4
@@xenonblaz8583 gotta get yourself a vita they’re thee best hand held ever! I modded mine so I have psp games as well as vita games it’s too much fun!!
Love when you upload honest gaming history i wonder how you would cover the storys of games like call of duty or if you would
Ninja Gaiden 4 was just announced !!! Thanks for the recap
About to have a TON of people on this video! Ninja Gaiden 4 INCOMING!!!!
3 years later New Ninja Gaiden game confirmed.
Yup. May need to go back into it
PLEASE WE WANT RYU HAYABUSA FOR SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE OR NINJA GAIDEN 4
Anyone else here in 2025 after the trailer for Ninja Gaiden 4?
I really hope we do get a Ninja Gaiden IV in the near future, Team Ninja's recent claims to the contrary. Ninja Gaiden 3/Razor's Edge was such a mess. And "Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z" doesn't really count...
Yeah. I mean they've been hinting at it pretty hard so i think we should get an announcement soon....hopefully
Been waiting years for this one
Six characters to cover in the future
Geralt of Rivea from The Witcher games
Kiryu Kazuma from the Yakuza games
Jackie from the Darkness games
Frank West from the Dead Rising games
Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect games
Bj Blaskowits from the Wolfenstein games
Nice, good choices🤘🏽
This series has been looking very appealing to me ever since I saw TheGamingBritShow's coverage of the modern trilogy (especially Ninja Gaiden II). It's been feeling a bit inspirational at this point and I may have to get into these for one or two original IPs I've been working on; one for the combat and one for the character. This was definitely the rundown I needed to get a better idea of writing this kind of character, as I knew I wanted someone with more "blue oni" leanings, but not quite a "Vergil", if that makes any sense.
I'll tell you who Ryu Hayabusa is...he's the next smash bros ultimate character --- or so I'd like to hope. His move list would be damn good and his final smash would be him doing the sword duel like in the old nes game lol
Him in Smash would be so dope
If they put him in Fortnite instead…they better freakin not
The other game Ryu is in, I believe, is Warriors Orochi. I think he first made an appearance in the 3rd one. They took the Ryu from Ninja Gaiden 2, the one going against the Vigoor Empire, along with Rachel, Ayane, and somehow Momiji... Sooo yeah I wouldn't call that one canon but he is playable in some Warriors Orochi games and makes an appearance as a character often.
I used to play this game but not all the way through love you vid bro they always make me happy
As a fellow New Yorker the land of “timbs and bacon egg and cheese “ is a real thing
Glad you know haha
Im digging the Mastedonte and consciousness anime characters, super clean.
Also
" his name was probably Keith" had me dead😂😂😂
Appreciate it fam
This video made my day🙌
Thanks fam. Appreciate it
One of the hardest game franchise’s out there
Word
This nigga had me rolling "You mess with my bacon egg and cheese you will catch these hands" I'm weak😂😂😂😂😂
Ryu is a demon no cap
Lit as Always you should be proud of the fire 🔥 you produce! I know you'll keep it up
Damn this really made me feel good. Thank you! And the videos will definitely keep improving.
" How many pop culture slang terms and references should we try and cram in here?"
"Yes."
I slapped that Like button right as the video started!!! Just based on that OG Ryu!!!
Haha thanks fam. Hope the video was worth the like!!
@@TheBlackMastadonte It was worth the wait fam!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Ryu went thru the whole league No Potions😂🤣
This my 1st time seeing ya channel and lemme tell you....that instrumental in ay intri go HARD brodie real rap!!
Ryu hayabusa is the Goat of all ninjas
True
The G.O.A.T. of all GOATS

This is my favourite series on you tube keep up the good work bro
Aww really?! Thanks so much fam!!

Thanks for making a video about Ryu Hayabusa.
No problem bro! Thanks for watching!
Commence heavy breathing in anticipation
Wheezes in anticipation and happiness
Yes a new vid I love this man
glad i found this channel today. def subbed you guys are awesome!
Thanks for finally releasing this,🙌
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I love how one of the outfits for you and conscience is Yusuke and Togoro that's hella clever🔥🔥🔥
And there shall be more
@@TheBlackMastadonte that's dope
I would absolutely love if they remade the original 3 games that were on the NES. But all 3 games wrapped up in one. It had a great story and was very cinematic for its time. Would be awesome to see the opening scene with next gen technology with the two ninjas meeting for a duel under a full moon. I believe it was Ryu's dad against Mauth? And Ryu's dad ends up getting killed in the duel. I'll never forget the first time I played it. That opening scene was absolutely epic
I've always said this, would've been great with a map for every level, like SMB3. The chronology is NG1, NG3, NG2. I found out years later the 3rd game was set between the 1st & 2nd.
@@mariorodriguezjunior I actually had no idea that the third game was set between 1 and 2. But man would I love a next gen remake of those games. Shinobi even makes an appearance
@@Agetrok yeah they backed themselves into a corner the way NG2 wrapped up the Jacquio story so well, NG3 was good, but it didn't have the same impact as the first 2 games.
I've always hated the Grip of Murder. Punished for killing the lives of Ninia Gaiden 1 and 3: Demons, fiends, cultists, vampires, werewolves, terrorists, and rival ninjas? Like what? They're always the ones that attack Ryu first, even in his fellow village people always want to pick a fight with Ryu. The curse isn't justified and it's too much of a plot device for it to work on Ryu. If it was sent to another person that actually deserves it like Kratos, then it would've worked.
Been waiting on him to do this . Thanks so much man I binge watch your videos 😁😁
Thanks fam! Glad you enjoy the content
He really said "He really said ifyoumesswithmybaconeggn'cheese you will catch these hands!"
Outstanding video
Thank you so much 😀
