Vazdah , the Archfiend, was brought back to life in his true form at the end of NG2 by Ryu's blood. A tiny drop fell down onto it's corpse and it rose again. His blood may not be cursed, but is definitely a source of power.
@@secondlifestuffs Knowing how Doku mentions of Dragon Lineage were utilising manipulation of powers similar to Fiends (but at purifying and extermination level), I think Dragon Lineage acts as counter-balance to hellish corruption of Dark Dragon alongside the remains of dark deities that seep into said Dark Dragon, well until Ryu broke that Dragon's powers permanently at the end of Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma and he has to fought remaining fiends (then Ninja Gaiden 3 plot and lore brought the idea of how Fiends can be created artificially from harnessing hell powers and Dragon Lineage's genetics or something, though Ninja Gaiden 3 narrative execution and general presentation was really bad)

WITH FUCKING LOCK ON AND BETTER WEAPON SWITCHING PLEASEEE I had fun with the games, but the bad times for me were really really bad. Actually NG reminds me of cheese, you either really like it or you really hate it. And I really liked it, but omg just so many times and fights that did nothing but annoy the actual hell outta me lol. Before someone says mad cuz bad, I still regularly play the game and I'm doing a Master Ninja run rn so no I'm not bad per say jus real annoyed lol
Taking down the dark dragon is actually one of the greatest hits in the series as The deity of evil Vigoor and according to one of the books, The ancestor of all Evil Deities, Vigoor, began to devour the territory of Gurdu, beginning at its center. During endless solar and lunar eclipses, the earth shook and split, the seas dried up only to flood into existence again, and intense winds swept over everything and fires burned down all of existence, ignoring even the concept of time itself.” Yet not only did the 13 dragons defeat him but the dark dragon defeated all of them. This would have to Place ryu with the true dragon sword at universal+ and depending on how you take the line “ ignoring the very concept of the time” his speed could be insane.
Well said friend Compared to other OP charcters like Dante, Bayonetta, Kratos, Raiden and others, Ryu Hayabusa is very Underrated and gets underestimated alot. He's an Underdog
I did. I'm just hoping that they can make a possible NG4 in the future. I'm a big fan and have played all current games on original Xbox, and further consoles. There's always a possibility. Here's hoping for that. lol
Nice! At some point I need to do the last boss on Yaiba, and then the NES games. But yeah, we can only hope that NG4 becomes a thing in the future. Will be interesting to see what Team Ninja does next.
Years ago, I had seen Death Battle's Strider Hiryu Vs Ryu Hayabusa and much like most Death Battles, they severely underestimated Ryu. I mean this guy has mystical bracelets, a sword that can kill gods, endured multiple curses which were supposed to kill him, and he can swing swords 4 times his size without breaking a sweat. Hiryu is part of a futuristic military organization of ninjas, every one of his weapons is technology weapons, yet they gave Hiryu the win.
Well back then their research was a bit flawed compared to how they do things now. That episode was wrong from the get go and you can tell just from watching the analysis, they left out a bunch of things.
@@mohdgabril4840 Didn't they admit they purposely had to make Tifa lose that in one of their podcasts? Like, they knew Tifa should have easily won but they were forced into her loss.
Basically what Dante from Devil May Cry can do as an immortal half-human/half-demon, Ryu can do as a pure human. That badass guy just tears everything to pieces with his raw strengh and can resist curses by basically not giving a shit. And you left that guy without a new game Team Ninja???!!! Oh, and also Ryu have a best music theme for a protagonist th-cam.com/video/Blp4TiDTJcE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZmJfg-7ek-rrqqHW
Ryu's skin is also Dragon Scale hard. It's why he can take a rocket blast to the face, and laugh at you. And the fact he can move at the speed of light, with the flying swallow attack, means anyone in a one vs one duel against Ryu, is basically dead. Slow cumbersome Kratos, against speeding-bullet Ryu? Kratos would be a puddle of offal, before he even knew what hit him! Ryu Hayabusa, is beyond hard!
Hmm. I’m curious on where the statement is on the dragon scale skin, would be cool to read more about. Also, while I love Ryu, Kratos has incredibly higher scaling. Either way, hopefully you enjoyed the content.
@@BonzerMrT He 'was' a God. His powers were stripped. And Ryu beats a literal God in Ninja Gaiden 3. I've no worries about Ryu beating slow, cumbersome Kratos. Kratos is tough, for sure. But entry-level Valkyries can one shot him. He's way overrated. And Ryu doesn't have stats. He doesn't 'scale' at all. He doesn't need to. He just ups his weapons. Look how tough Ryu's great, great, great grandfather Jin is, in Nioh? He just one-shots you, over and over. Even lore-wise, Kratos is pretty mediocre. Who lost a one on one with a barbarian, and sold his soul to Ares, before the killing blow. I'm not that impressed with him. I'm just talking pure ability here. Ryu leaves him for dead.
@@lonestar6709 your comment doesn’t make sense. Just because certain enemies deal a lot of damage in the games that doesn’t mean the respective characters are weak or strong. Plus Kratos was a human, even in the story of GOW1 he wasn’t a god, he became one with the help of the gods and Pandora box.Also Kratos isn’t that nerfed as you think, apparently in newer GOW it’s said that he’s holding back
Great video, glad to see someone else knows how OP hayabusa. Him and the other team ninja ninjas are extremely underrated when they're possibly the strongest fighters in the fighting game universe
I could watch in-depth breakdowns of ninja gaiden content forever. Ryu has the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
What I like about Ryu is that hes jacked but hes realistically jacked, hes not like a Street Fighter or Tekken character where hes cartoonishily roided up
@@dc7981 ikr! I always disliked the exaggerated designs in fighting games, but Ryu and the other males from DoA are believable. Can't say the same about DoA's women...
Loved this video man. Ninja Gaiden was such an awesome game and Ryu is and always will be my fav video game character. Never played the doas, honestly cause I’m not that in to those type of games but I literally root for ryu no matter what
I Love Ryu Hayabusa, always have been a fan. Thanks for going into great detail about the power he possesses. Thanks for helping me to understand the purpose of the curse of the Fiend. I actually like his you described how the Vigoorian emperor distorted reality. You see, I made a song called master ninja. and I could barely find useful dialog to make my song complete. But using this as a reference. I can perhaps create my own storyline and use it as a voiceover within the track. You have definitely found a new subscriber 😍
Glad you found the video and enjoyed it! Ryu is one of my favorite fictional characters, and I enjoyed making this video. Good luck with your song, feel free to share when you are done with it, I would love to hear it!.
I always loved this character and all his game appearances but after watching this video, i now look at Ryu as a level 2 Super Sayian with a sword and without the blonde hair 👍.
NIce video !Ninja Gaiden marked my life, I played with my father and I still play with him to this day, what an incredible game! now i started a collection and i am buying all ninja gaiden games !
For a speed feat I would say he is at least mftl+ possibly immeasurable if you think about it too hard, NG2 fought against a fiend that controlled lightning and beat him with relative ease.
Here's a better one in NG: Dragon sword when he got sent into the Edge of Darkness (the place where he fought the Dark dragon), Nichae (the Boss you fight after fighting the dark dragon), State's that anything that's in the Edge of Darkness can never scape not even light itself, basically describing it to be a black hole and Ryu managed to scape from it So yeah Ryu can basically outrun a black hole
@@Gambitsmightypole Well he did earned the title "The Ultimate Ninja" for a reason and his other feats and ability are even Crazier then what people give him credit for
Which is saying something given that at the current point in warframe lore, Tenno have killed everything that can die, and several things that can’t die. And they’re actively pushing back THE VOID ITSELF to some degree.
Update: It seems like some people in this comment section should start reading and thinking before posting, since it leads to dumb comments otherwise. I will reiterate, my original comment was a thing called: "a joke", but for those hard of comprehension, I will explain my comment further. The point of said comment was to illustrate the discrepancy between the protagonist's actual strength in relation to the limitations of the gameplay, for the sake of challange or entertainment, in a humorous manner.
I wonder if Team Ninja will ever revisit the series properly. Razor's Edge was a nice redemption after vanilla 3, it wasn't great but it made the game so much more enjoyable. At least they have been fleshing out the Hayabusa clan's history with things like Niōh and Ronin (I think...? Haven't played Rise of the Ronin yet). Ryu is easily in my top 3 coolest gaming characters ever
I'm pretty sure Itagaki's directed and written Ryu Hayabusa can permanently kills the 4 chaos gods of Warhammer 40K at this point, considering of how much inhuman and even both anti-hell and anti-pantheon feats he committed since Ninja Gaiden Black, not even chaos Primarchs and fully powered C'tans can goes through the insanity of Vigoor Emperor's reality warping, Ninja Gaiden 2's enemy spams, able to withstand curses and remain uncorrupted then able to kill gods and goddesses comparable to Biblical Antichrist and whore of babylon lol Itagaki's era of 3D Ninja Gaiden lore is already bonkers and unhinged that if he's hypothetically managed to make NG3 and NG4, he would directed it on ridiculous levels, though his falling out with Tecmo/Team Ninja was tragic tbh
Damn, I was really hoping that there loose interpretation to Hayabusa a universal buster like the rest of the stylish action characters. That's so infuriating.
Technically I'm sure the argument can be made. Gurdu was the first Deity, who created Vigoor (the first evil deity). Vigoor's prupose was to rule all in a Fiendish Universe. Vigoor had split into 4 entities, including the Serpent, Deity of Creation. Who created the 13 Divine Dragons that stopped Vigoor and the evil entities. Who then were defeated by the Black Dragon, who was defeated by Ryu with the True Dragon Sword. I'm sure I can work on a video describing the events that take place before Ninja Gaiden Black. Let me know.
@@DigitaltYT I, for one, would greatly appreciate it but I rather you make contents that can help you. That & I should probably rewatch this video again because I could've sworn that Hayabusa defeated Vigoor. Also, that logic is very similar to how people keep justifying Kratos being a universal buster.
@@AgentKyoI think it makes Ryu cooler, Ryu being more grounded and “human” relatively compared to Dante and Bayonetta is part of his charm. He’s the Batman to Dante’s Superman
Bro play the game in Japanese voice.You are missing out on epicness of Hayabusa ryu.And btw great video, Hayabusa Ryu was and is my favourite game character
I played sekiro darksouls bloodbourne.. etc... but ninja gaiden 2 on 360... Broo... still makes me think if put the dvd disc in the console it's worth it....I mean all the pain and suffering.... not even ninja gaiden black produces that kind of fear in ma heart..
I want Joe Hayabusa n Hayate in da next NG4 Game n an expansion on the Ninja n Fiends n Dragons Story also see returning characters. Ryu training Sanji and Lil Conna along side each other oh man.. dares so much much left to Explore n experience 😀👍👍
Ahh yeah Hayate.. What a shame he is the only ninja from DOA who didn't appear in any Ninja Gaiden games when his little sister and half sister have their appereance😑
I never doubted Ryus power, even when it wasnt cool to play Nintendo games I didnt care, it's all I talked about. Ninja Gaiden. Its Tecmo/Koei that doesnt believe, not us.
I already know how insanely powerful he is but i like listening to others believe the same thing and say the reasons why just for confirmation and hell of it lol
i really hate that never probably get another decent ninja gaiden title again, due to Tomonobu Itagaki and tecmos falling out, then seem like just decided piss all over the franchise as result of it!
Team Ninja 🥷 needs to continue the game with more playable chars. Rachel, Hayate, Momiji, Ayane, and Kasumi ... I'd like to see some more of the Dead or Alive chars like Zack, Jan Lee, and a few others.
I first was introduced to Ryu in dead or alive 2 an he was cool but my favorite is Hayate an then years later I played Ninja Gaiden 3 an I was like damn how the hell can anybody fight him 1 on 1 lol
Out of all the Ninja characters, Whether its Comics, Manga, Anime, Video-games, or Cartoons Imo Ryu Hayabusa will always be the number 1 best when it's all about Ninjas 🥷 🥷 Guy is such an OP Badass
Technically the Hayabusa you fought in Nioh 2 is Ren. This video is on Ryu, a descendant of Ren Hayabusa. But yeah I had to outlevel Ren when fighting him
@@DigitaltYT If Kasumi, Ayane, and Hayate were the focus of the story they might have aswell made a Ninja Gaiden 4. Not all NG games have to focus on Ryu

He can transform a simple wood arrow into a weapon stronger than a sniper bullet, just by using ki.

Ideas for a new Ninja Gaiden
Open world like Spider-Man
But with more vast maps to explore
Returning weapons: Dabilahro, Falcon's Talons, Blade of the Archfiend, Eclypse Scythe, Kusari-Gama, Tonfa
Special collectibles: Dragon Talismans that each have a different Gem. around 30 of each and each one can be used in numbers to upgrade a certain weapon/ninpo
Ninpo combinations: Ninpos oughta be combined to make powerful results like inferno with wind blades or piercing void with fire wheels
Dragon grade weapons and ninpo: Dragon talismans can be used to fully upgrade weapons and ninpo for more power and manifesting themed dragons.
Examples: A Dabilahro dragon could look like an infernal demon dragon that slashes and burns a wide area of enemies.
And a wind blade dragond could smash the ground three times making wind blade bursts
Some added combat features: Maybe take a few elements from Devil May Cry and Bayonetta
Giant enemies and bosses: Some bosses being giant like Shadow of the Colossus as well as some large enemies.
Optional bosses: These bosses would be the hardest which include gods and dragons
Stealth: Stealth similar to Spider-Man and Mark of the Ninja
Customization: Similar to Naraka Bladepoint.

We seriously need a new game in the series; hopefully one that incorporates more stealth since he’s a ninja.
NIce video !Ninja Gaiden marked my life, I played with my father and I still play with him to this day, what an incredible game! now i started a collection and i am buying all ninja gaiden games !
The good old days man
I still play them from time to time, GOATED action games
Ryu just built with the p e r c s
I saw in ninja Gaiden 3 that there are roughly a dozen members of the Hayabusa clan
For a speed feat I would say he is at least mftl+ possibly immeasurable if you think about it too hard, NG2 fought against a fiend that controlled lightning and beat him with relative ease.
Especially at Combat Speed, Reaction Timing & Reflexes
Here's a better one in NG: Dragon sword when he got sent into the Edge of Darkness (the place where he fought the Dark dragon),
Nichae (the Boss you fight after fighting the dark dragon), State's that anything that's in the Edge of Darkness can never scape not even light itself,
basically describing it to be a black hole and Ryu managed to scape from it
So yeah Ryu can basically outrun a black hole
@@NicholasJackson-s6y Ryu is a problem
@@Gambitsmightypole Well he did earned the title "The Ultimate Ninja" for a reason and his other feats and ability are even Crazier then what people give him credit for
@@NicholasJackson-s6y That could be more of a power thing then a speed thing
Hes just shy of a Tenno + Warframe which says alot because the Tenno dont die.. and Warframes are Terminator Ryus
Which is saying something given that at the current point in warframe lore, Tenno have killed everything that can die, and several things that can’t die. And they’re actively pushing back THE VOID ITSELF to some degree.
My childhood favorite Ninja
If Ryu is so strong, then why does he get 1-shot by every grab in NGS2?
Asking the hard questions I see lol
Difficulty purposes don't equate to durability genius
It was to make the game hard. It's notorious for being a hard game 🤣💀🐣™️💯
Update: It seems like some people in this comment section should start reading and thinking before posting, since it leads to dumb comments otherwise.
I will reiterate, my original comment was a thing called: "a joke", but for those hard of comprehension, I will explain my comment further.
The point of said comment was to illustrate the discrepancy between the protagonist's actual strength in relation to the limitations of the gameplay, for the sake of challange or entertainment, in a humorous manner.
@@StriderHekzy they knew it was a joke, it just was a bad one.
I wonder if Team Ninja will ever revisit the series properly. Razor's Edge was a nice redemption after vanilla 3, it wasn't great but it made the game so much more enjoyable.
At least they have been fleshing out the Hayabusa clan's history with things like Niōh and Ronin (I think...? Haven't played Rise of the Ronin yet).
Ryu is easily in my top 3 coolest gaming characters ever
Thank you for this.
We need a new ninja garden
I'm pretty sure Itagaki's directed and written Ryu Hayabusa can permanently kills the 4 chaos gods of Warhammer 40K at this point, considering of how much inhuman and even both anti-hell and anti-pantheon feats he committed since Ninja Gaiden Black, not even chaos Primarchs and fully powered C'tans can goes through the insanity of Vigoor Emperor's reality warping, Ninja Gaiden 2's enemy spams, able to withstand curses and remain uncorrupted then able to kill gods and goddesses comparable to Biblical Antichrist and whore of babylon lol
Itagaki's era of 3D Ninja Gaiden lore is already bonkers and unhinged that if he's hypothetically managed to make NG3 and NG4, he would directed it on ridiculous levels, though his falling out with Tecmo/Team Ninja was tragic tbh
How strong are the lower fiends?
How does this great video only has 2 comments?
Nice to see NG still alive
Ninja Gaiden will always be alive in my heart. Thanks for the compliment btw
@@DigitaltYT NG is a very underrated franchise :(
Doa Ryu was one of my favorites
The sound in that cutscene explaining the dragon sword is almost inaudble.
Damn, I was really hoping that there loose interpretation to Hayabusa a universal buster like the rest of the stylish action characters. That's so infuriating.
Technically I'm sure the argument can be made. Gurdu was the first Deity, who created Vigoor (the first evil deity). Vigoor's prupose was to rule all in a Fiendish Universe. Vigoor had split into 4 entities, including the Serpent, Deity of Creation. Who created the 13 Divine Dragons that stopped Vigoor and the evil entities. Who then were defeated by the Black Dragon, who was defeated by Ryu with the True Dragon Sword. I'm sure I can work on a video describing the events that take place before Ninja Gaiden Black. Let me know.
@@DigitaltYT I, for one, would greatly appreciate it but I rather you make contents that can help you. That & I should probably rewatch this video again because I could've sworn that Hayabusa defeated Vigoor.
Also, that logic is very similar to how people keep justifying Kratos being a universal buster.
@@AgentKyo kratos is way above that
@@miceatah9359 you are funny
@@AgentKyoI think it makes Ryu cooler, Ryu being more grounded and “human” relatively compared to Dante and Bayonetta is part of his charm. He’s the Batman to Dante’s Superman
the tldr, ryu hayabusa solos the world
Bro play the game in Japanese voice.You are missing out on epicness of Hayabusa ryu.And btw great video, Hayabusa Ryu was and is my favourite game character
Ryu is a ninja Kratos, and I f*cking love kratos
*Darkness is destined to left in the end...*
Where does he scale then? Planetary? Universal?
I played sekiro darksouls bloodbourne.. etc... but ninja gaiden 2 on 360... Broo... still makes me think if put the dvd disc in the console it's worth it....I mean all the pain and suffering.... not even ninja gaiden black produces that kind of fear in ma heart..
I Love rye forever he’s a true sigma
I want Joe Hayabusa n Hayate in da next NG4 Game n an expansion on the Ninja n Fiends n Dragons Story also see returning characters. Ryu training Sanji and Lil Conna along side each other oh man.. dares so much much left to Explore n experience 😀👍👍
Ahh yeah Hayate.. What a shame he is the only ninja from DOA who didn't appear in any Ninja Gaiden games when his little sister and half sister have their appereance😑
Well if they do make NG4 it could take place after the nes games, and Joe is dead
**STRIDER** would like to settle this with you :DDD
I never doubted Ryus power, even when it wasnt cool to play Nintendo games I didnt care, it's all I talked about. Ninja Gaiden. Its Tecmo/Koei that doesnt believe, not us.
great video and scaling bro
Glad you liked it!
After a while I started hearing Dragonzord… queue the flute music lol
He was pretty OP in warriors orochi 3 too so it makes sense.
3:39 Where is this cutscene from??
Its NGB after you beat Doku I believe, I forget. You go back to Tairon
@@DigitaltYT Ah, it must not be in Ninja Gaiden Sigma then, no wonder i've never seen it before lol.
@@edmund8954 yes it is, Sigma includes this cutscene aswell. After Doku, go back to Tairon and visit Muramasa :)
Hayabusa is a beast
Hyabusa is the long lost 3rd son of Sparda
He is Sparda's dad
I already know how insanely powerful he is but i like listening to others believe the same thing and say the reasons why just for confirmation and hell of it lol
Its hinted Hayate will playable in next NG game
You mean that he was mentioned in NG3? Or something else?
Good video, I was very attentive and I liked it.
Glad you liked it!
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for making a video of my favorite video game character.
Thanks for finding the channel!
You forgot to mention he can *stop time* 💀 💀 💀
Pretty sure that’s in the NES trilogy right? When I get my hands on NGIII then I might do a version that includes those
Right. He is a time stopper.
@@DigitaltYTDo the version. 😏
Ryu Hayabusa from guidance versus snake eyes from g.i. Joe who will win
i really hate that never probably get another decent ninja gaiden title again, due to Tomonobu Itagaki and tecmos falling out, then seem like just decided piss all over the franchise as result of it!
Talking about Ryu but forgets Shinobi or Rikimaru from Tenchu
Didn’t forget, Video wasn’t about them
A Ninja Gaiden Movie should be put in the works.
who do you think should play Ryu?
@@DigitaltYT The dude who played snake eyes in the last gijoe movie
I really want a ninja gaiden 4!
That would be pretty cool
A mf exploded into a nuclear blast after a drop from bro
Good ass video, Ryu is a fuckin beast ‼
I wonder is the dragon sword capable of withstanding the Yamato? And what if Dante and/or Vergil were in ninja gaiden
I Remember him
Same
This is so the Bible story but it goes right over peoples head
Looks like I just discovered my new favorite channel. People be thinking that NiOh characters could beat Ryu because they beat his ancestors lmao
Hide for sure would whoop his ass ;)
Team Ninja 🥷 needs to continue the game with more playable chars. Rachel, Hayate, Momiji, Ayane, and Kasumi ... I'd like to see some more of the Dead or Alive chars like Zack, Jan Lee, and a few others.
Someone once told me hayate is stronger than ryu haybusa...😂😂
That is QUITE the claim
Ryu is stronger yes but not by a large margin. They are both relative to one another.
I first was introduced to Ryu in dead or alive 2 an he was cool but my favorite is Hayate an then years later I played Ninja Gaiden 3 an I was like damn how the hell can anybody fight him 1 on 1 lol
Dude is a one man army I never underestimated him lol
I am just waiting for that ninja gaiden 4 game on ps5 which will tell sekiro "let me show you how it's done"
That would be cool
a next post here - its his 20th anniversary!
We need him back 😡
he is in video games you can kill demons and savages as him in nioh 1 & nioh 2 but won’t have the right moves only izuna drops as an executive move
We really need a sequel tho I miss him so much
make him have everything
Out of all the Ninja characters, Whether its Comics, Manga, Anime, Video-games, or Cartoons
Imo Ryu Hayabusa will always be the number 1 best when it's all about Ninjas 🥷 🥷
Guy is such an OP Badass
two things true about Ryu Hayabusa:
1) He's OP as shit
2) Tragedy befalls any woman who crushes on him (including the original NES games)
This guy on Nioh 2 is difficult to beat
Technically the Hayabusa you fought in Nioh 2 is Ren. This video is on Ryu, a descendant of Ren Hayabusa. But yeah I had to outlevel Ren when fighting him
So instead of Ryu we get a plant, a bear + bird, and a block man.
Yeah he's pretty cool, loved his Cameo in halo 3
wait whaaaaat
It's weird how in Ninja Gaiden this dude goes nearly full berserk on his enemies. But in Dead or Alive they make it look like he's a nobody, thats sad
Yeah, if DOA let Ryu do more things he would have ended DOATEC and MiST a while ago. All for the story
@@DigitaltYT on god
@@DigitaltYT We can argue he doesn't see real danger on it.
@@JIMT412 that's fair. He isn't really the focus on the DOA stories compared to Hayate, Kasumi, Ayane.
@@DigitaltYT If Kasumi, Ayane, and Hayate were the focus of the story they might have aswell made a Ninja Gaiden 4. Not all NG games have to focus on Ryu
