    (weenop) Hello everyone, since this video is seemingly exploding out of absolutely nowhere, I'd like to correct some inconsistencies and or errors I made regarding the timeline. These were mostly pointed out by fans of the series that noticed my mistakes, so much love to you guys.
    -Kasumi did NOT in fact return to the Mugen Tenshin village, in fact she never did. She was hiding out in the Hayabusa village during the events of DOA5, and retreated to the wilderness in DOA6
    -The dinosaurs are DOATEC's fault
    -I may or may not have neglected to mention Kokoro and Helena first met during the events of DOA4 during the events of her arcade mode.
    Credit to JBBelen Kokoro for pointing this stuff out
    Also, regarding concerns pertaining to the use of a certain word at several points in the video, I would like to clarify for new viewers that I, weenop of Brain Alert! (the guy who made the video), am a black man of mixed ethnicity.

    I like your video on DOA as it's usually hard to find people who talk about it on CZcams aside from videos talking about the fanservice. However, you have gotten some facts wrong or missing some details.
    - Kasumi never returned to the Mugen Tenshin Clan, she was still considered a Runaway and a target. She was hidden in the Hayabusa Clan, only Ryu and Hayate knew it.
    - Kokoro met Helena in the fourth tournament, where Helena tested her and told her to talk to Miyako after the fight. Kokoro even mentioned meeting Helena two years back in the fifth game.
    - Leifang actually beat Jann Lee in the fourth tournament, but that is debatable since DOA5 was made after Itagaki left, so story elements were changed.
    - The dinosaurs are just genetic experiments from DOATEC.
    - Fun fact, Itagaki mentioned in a facebook post that his vision of DOA5 was supposed to have the Mugen Tenshin Clan be destroyed with Kasumi and Ayane as survivors and Miyako (Kokoro's mother) being a major antagonist.

    Nyotengu is just probably doing this because she’s just following her whims and probably out of sheer boredom.
    Because she’s a Tengu, a Trickster spirit who can feel empathy and compassion for humanity while also being an absolute force of nature.

    In regards to the Ayane - Ayane relationship I always was under the impression that Ayame did care deeply for Ayane, and only gave her daughter up for adoption do being an important figurehead of a very traditional society and must keep the lineage untainted.

    What I love about the series is its context out if everything. I like the mechanics and of course the graphics makes it a must play along the likes of Tekken/Street Fighter. But the story is why it diverges from other series. Its so cynical- ninjas, evil scientists, clones, big money fight tourneys, love triangles, grudges, fame, love, and all that good stuff. I love the continuity between DOA and Ninja Gaiden the most. It turns both experiences into a joint and since Team Ninja is good at making action oriented games it all just becomes a good time.

    • @jeromenicholson743
      @jeromenicholson743 Před měsícem +8

      @Vietmac1993 To answer your question, from an unbiased viewpoint, the reason is overall due to plot connivence in order to kick off the story, same with Ryu’s story when he lost to Doku due to him emotionally fighting soley in anger. Instead of Doku destroying the dragon sword, he instead left it, overall it’s simply their way of getting both stories started for them to return more powerful, a prime example of plot connivance
      Raidou became powerful by copying techniques shown to him. So him simply taking it, wouldn’t help him overall, in order for Jinran-Maru to be useful, he would first, have to know how to use it (secret sword techniques/abilities etc) properly. According to the lore, it lets us know that the storm blade much like the dragon sword, is a legendary katana that got passed down to Shiden and Hayate (other wise known as Raijin, the god of thunder/Wind of the Heavens etc).
      Since Raidou went rogue due to jealousy and takes techniques for a living, (including underworld drop from NG, but a different name) assuming he’s able to copy the sword’s techniques, in order for him to possibly use it, he would have to get someone to show him the storm blade’s secrets mid fight; without him having a legendary weapon of his own. He would also have to survive, memorize its moves and somehow take the blade after having knowledge on how to use its techniques against others, since it’s a physical special weapon that involves abilities/techniques, instead of just, the technique by itself. It’s possible for Raidou just unlikely and risky

    Really enjoyed this DOA take.👍Also, incase people didn’t know; in DOA5, Ryu & Hayate’s encounter, (where they trained) often gets mistaken and actually has some meaningful context prior, that ties into story of the two Master Ninjas specifically.
    To simply summarize for those who aren’t aware, Ryu’s focus wasn’t to fight Hayate, with the intention of settling things through that encounter, this often gets taken out of context. Ryu’s purpose for their meeting was to simply to help his best friend Hayate, learn from the same mistake; Ryu himself had made, in his past when he lost against Doku. (In the past, Ryu became angry when his village was attacked as well, so their training was nothing serious unfortunately) Ryu did this by taunting Hayate (as shown) similar to how Raidou did, in order to test, and see if he could stir up Hayate’s emotions that caused him to not fight with a level head, and not fight as he normally would. Which ends up happening (as shown.) This provokes Hayate to train with Ryu solely on emotion rather than, with a leveled head after being taunted about his family.
    This is why Ryu’s attitude changes at the end of their exchange and he gives his best friend Hayate a reminder “to control his emotions” in battle, which Hayate learns from and uses for defeating Raidou. According to the lore Ryu was simply speaking from experience and from mutual understanding on what they both went through. Ryu understood that strength wasn’t Hayate’s issue and (like himself) no matter how strong one becomes, for a ninja controlling one’s emotions is essential, especially since both are Master Ninja and head of the clan now.

    I also got into Dead or alive after playing ninja gaiden and was wondering why our boy ryu and ayane were fighting martial artists. It cracked me up when you said even the 1st DOA happens after ninja gaiden 2 events lol.
    Also I love how unhinge ayane is in the series.

    There's irony in the fact that you made this video while not being much of a fan, and as a long time fan since DOA2 on the Dreamcast I was interested in this kind of video after I saw it in my recommends because I have never really understood a lot of the story in DOA due to it's scattered presentation. Very well done video. I watched the entire thing, and learned some things I didn't already know. I gave you a sub, and might watch the Ninja Gaiden videos when I get time.
    As much as I love the DOA series (Seriously, they are by far my favorite fighting games), it's a shame how much it's been criticized just for having attractive women, and it's made TECMO mostly abandon the series. It's also a shame though how greedy and anti-consumer TECMO got with the series after Itagaki left. DOA 1-4 were complete games, and had no cosmetic DLCs. Meanwhile DOA5 and 6 have actual thousands of dollars of overpriced DLC. Also, I laughed about your comments about Honoka's MILK shirt, but they knew what they were doing. Honoka was created specifically to "milk" the fan base of their money with DLCs.

    Great video and very entertaining 👏 I would like to make one correction to story lore detail. Kasumi is very much still considered a nukinen up to 6. Infact, she was in hiding in Hayabusa village after DOA 4 and during DOA 5. That's why old man Muramasa relayed that message to her, our boy Ryu is such a good bro; he had his best friends renegade sister hiding out at his own village in secret!!!

    • @Xenmaru00
      @Xenmaru00 Před 4 měsíci +3

      i'd legit not be surprised if Hayate "knows" Kasumi's there, but he's been pushing whoever elders want her dead for "leaving" even though she left on a self-imposed mission and *hasnt* compromised the security of their village; into focusing on shit like DoATEC and whatnot, so he can be free to *not* act on that information.
      That and he probably knows that while he may be "above" her, Hitomi would be *very* displeased if he allowed his *blood related* sister to be killed, for trying to both avenge him, and put an end to a major threat to the village. One that kicked _his_ ass.

      You would be surprised what decisions can be swayed or delayed by the fear of losing the faith of someone that means much to you. And after damn near losing everything, including his life, i wouldnt doubt that while he was not in a position to outright _pardon_ Kasumi, his experiences may have led to him being willingly "distracted" from pushing the order of her execution.
