I've played all of the famous Ninja Gaiden games but never fully understood the timeline until watching this video. Thx fellas, great explantation....👏😁👍
Interesting tidbit about that if you're a Ni-Oh fan. Tomonobu Itagaki referred to the falcon that resurrected Ryu as a "Guardian Spirit" and in fact Ni-Oh also resurrects its protagonist using guardian spirits including a falcon like ryu. Even the Yokai shifters get their power from demon or possibly fiend bloodlines that they're related to.
If I had to guess how the Vigoorian Empire of Tairon wasn't nuked, their military was probably stronger than any other countries, and had threatened said other countries with unknown powers unless the empire was left alone in isolation.
Is that confirmed anywhere? We know that that was implied, and saw that idea thrown around, but we couldn't find concrete evidence anywhere. If you have a solid lead on that we'd love it.
Through meditation Ryu was able to revive himself. That's what I believe at least. Its said that he has an unnaturally powerful spirit and is able to heal due to that.
This lore video is a bit weird, mentions Sonia but no mention of Rachel? How is one sidekick more revelant than the other in this context? And during a developer interview it was confirmed that Ryu died fighting Doku, so you guys didn't do your homework and then proceed to assume the incorrect take.
Hey! Thanks to the dedication of Team Ninja being "men of culture," we have boob physics in gaming. Seriously, the DOA series revolutionized it, and the math they used is emulated to this day in most video games 😎.
He branched off to do his own thing in fact I think his clan might be the spider clan. Honestly this story is confusing and at times may not make sense
@@badassproductions4734 How would they not have known he was in the Spider Clan? They’re like the mortal enemies of the Dragon Clan. The story is way too convoluted. But I still love the games.
Sonia is NOT Irene, no matter how much you want this haha... she was supposed to be, but her character got chainged to not conflict with the NES lore... and sry to destroy ur beautifully crafted timeline, but thats all bullshit haha... the 3d game were supposed to be prequels, yes, but ended up being remakes/reimaginings for the most part... a few more errors in there, but overalll pretty ok vid!
@@gebster2965 thats because the director changed and he is a dumbass and just changed characters as he wanted to, not to mention that ryu meets irene in the NES titles for the first time... so no, i will never accept that mans stupid lore changes. she was never meant to be irene and she is not irene until NG 3. thats like calling zelda princes peach in the new zelda and then claiming she has always been princess peach. no, everybody would accept the director is a phuggin idiot for doing that, and its the same here

Ryu is basically a Christ archetype, very similar to biblical story, very interesting..makes the game even better
When you such a badass you beat people in a fight for their own safety
7:41 sounds strange but it’s found that he actually wat revived by the Hyabusa spirit animal. The falcon. Which is why you see it in the cutscene

A little late but yes it's a peragrine falcon which is the literal translation of Hayabusa.
The Lore is I want Ryu's babies. The end.
The true dragon sword is one of the most powerful swords in gaming
What if it’s the equivalent to the master sword 😳
Ryu’s physiology is said to be a demi-dragon (human/dragon hybrid)
If I had to guess how the Vigoorian Empire of Tairon wasn't nuked, their military was probably stronger than any other countries, and had threatened said other countries with unknown powers unless the empire was left alone in isolation.
Best ninja ever.
So it would seem, lol
F*** every naruto character
This right here is a TRUE ninja AND a true man
@@satansjihad6353 Bi han would hate being called a ninja and his brother wouldn't give a f*ck
19:30-19:40 lol damn like a boss
*the* boss
I'd love to see a lore video on Kain from the LoK series. Keep up the good work dudes, only just found you, and am really enjoying the lore series.
The ds game, dragon sword, is canon as it has to with the dragon sword.
7:45 How did Vigoor keep from getting nuked? Obviously, they have oil.
The hawk is what revived Ryu after he was killed by Doku.
Is that confirmed anywhere? We know that that was implied, and saw that idea thrown around, but we couldn't find concrete evidence anywhere. If you have a solid lead on that we'd love it.
I wouldn’t call it concrete but in the wikia for ninja gaiden it says the falcon brought him back to life
Through meditation Ryu was able to revive himself. That's what I believe at least. Its said that he has an unnaturally powerful spirit and is able to heal due to that.
Valent Versatile for real
Fun fact: it's a peragrine falcon which is the literal translation of Hayabusa from Japanese to English.
This lore video is a bit weird, mentions Sonia but no mention of Rachel? How is one sidekick more revelant than the other in this context? And during a developer interview it was confirmed that Ryu died fighting Doku, so you guys didn't do your homework and then proceed to assume the incorrect take.
I never realized that the Ninja Gaiden games are canon to basically a porno fighting game lol
Oddly enough it's also canon to Ni-Oh which in a sense is also canon to DoA

You are confusing DoA fightin games with DoA beach games.
Thanks for the vid guys! 👍
Good job my ninja👍🏿🤷🏿♂️💯💨
6:25 Don't you EVER again compare such a based ninja to Naruto!
Yeah, Ryu is far superior.
It's like comparing gold to shit mixed with cheese and hair bleach.
We need a update video 2023!
Ryu gets all the ladies
A other good vidoe dudes keep it up
Can you do strider lore?
*In depth lore about every appearence Ryu's made*
And then there's DOA 6... it exists I guess.
whenever i think ninja garden all I here is "The Shooted" playing in the background.
12:52 so where did the blade of the archfiend came to be? Is the dark dragon sword not the dragon sword's counterpart? Is it not explained?
Good ole Asura's Wrath Lore
Strider Hiryu from Strider
Please do the Sega "Shinobi" series next.😎💥💯
The Ninja Gaiden anime that took place in between Ninja Gaiden 2 and DOA was skipped.
New subscriber.
I love how broken stupid op Ryu is 👍💪💀
Which most doa fans literally ignore the terrible retcons that inputting ryu into the story and forcing him in it stupidly.
Please for the love of god play ninja gaiden I or II
So is Ryu in Nioh cannon?
Quick google search says that that the Hayabusa that appears in Nioh is an ancestor of Ryu's, not sure though.
After some research, find out Ren Hayabusa is a descendent of Jin Hayabusa, who is the ancestor of Ryû.
His dad is named joe damn…
Can you go into detail on who is ishtaros and her sister they never made another appearance in the games sequels they look like they play a big role.
I actually really liked Ninja Gaiden Z a shame it didn’t do well.
I agree!
Cloud Strife or Sabin from ff6 would coool, jus sayin
Make sure to include the.nioh games well 😊
Hang on.... how is it that Murai is Ryu’s uncle, yet he’s not a member of Ryu’s clan?
He branched off to do his own thing in fact I think his clan might be the spider clan. Honestly this story is confusing and at times may not make sense
@@badassproductions4734 How would they not have known he was in the Spider Clan? They’re like the mortal enemies of the Dragon Clan.
The story is way too convoluted. But I still love the games.
@@Pub2k4 same
They do know it's just so convoluted that actions are confusing
@@badassproductions4734 I’ve been playing since the first one came out on NES. I’m a LONG TIME fan.
his clan is called the shadow clan and I’m pretty sure Murai is from Ryu’s mother side of family
thanks guys do a video on dormin from shadow of colossus

in ninja gaiden 2 (3d), the woman is called sonia and in 3 she is called irene by ayane in her last mission

The old games just to dont fit with the 3d trilogy at all
First off his name is not "Ree-yew"
