I think it's a little far-retched to say Ryu would lose easily even with the DDB alone. With that weapon the user turns into the Devil Incarnate, who's in fact more powerful than the Demon Vigoor who split Earth in ancient times. Plus he gave the creator of all elements problems. I think he'll give the same problems to this guy.
Originally posted by Sol ValentineIt's DDB, and TDS is not technically stronger than the DDB. It's just used to counter evil, and since all of the DDB's energy is evil, the TDS powers itself up with spiritual energy that can only counter evil energy, hence why it's potential of spiritual energy is "unfathomable" as stated in the game. 😄
To even this out, Ryu can use the DDS in round 2.And isn't the TDS stronger than the DDS?
Wow....Why does everyone thing telekenesis would play a big role. And He would Just mind rape Ryubusa? Ryu has shown a strong mind in resisting mind control and mind altering events. Proof?
When he was getting possessed by the fiend within. He showed strong will and a strong mind not letting it take over him and his being. That was not an huge outside factor. So how is not only willfully and mentally resisting Fiend Possession even thought he gained fiend strength not feat of showing Ryu resistence to mind control. Doku basicly tried to possess him. Come on now.
Im going out on a limb while just thinking about something in Ninja Gaiden when he fought Vigoor empire. I beleive it shows evidence of Ryu having telekenesis as well.
He uses a Ninpo chant to slice the boulder and peice of rock but didnt make a chnt to make it float to fight the VE. So by him leveitating it and controlling it with his will and mind. I beleive thats a sign of telekenesis?
I beleive his feind was a Dopple ganger. Which shows a even bigger feat by Ryu defeating him. The Doppleganger had the same amount of skill,same moves, and basicly the same weapons as ryu did. Its harder to defeat oneself than to defeat another and Ryu has show this feat. Multiple times.
Oh and how does Reading Ryu mind and speaking in his head stunt his speed factor. It takes time to read and pry and react. I dont think ryu thinks much. I beleive most of his ,moves are all instinct rather than thought
Please explain How Artheas will beat Ryu. Mind reading will do nothing good for him.
Art of the spirit Clone. Multiple ryubusas
Now...He reading ones mind...What is he going to do about the rest?
His Magic. Ryu Might be able to stand toe 2 toe with his ninpo for abit but ryu doesnt strictly fight magic. He uses swordskill and actaul combat in conjuction which would definetly overwealm Arthas.
I really dont see how Ryu losses
Ryubusa 7/10
Post by SBP from the Hayabusa respect thread:
Ninja Gaiden
1. http://youtube.com/watch?v=OYnkGvAhMHQ
- The legendary Dark Dragon Blade is protected by the Hayabusa clan, who are descendants of the Dragon lineage.
- The leader of the Hayabusa clan is the wielder of the Dragon Sword. A sword equal in power to the Dark Dragon Blade.
- Also note that whoever wields the Dark Dragon Blade will be transformed into the Devil Incarnate.
2. http://youtube.com/watch?v=wJ5CLt7eyu8
- Ryu was summoned by Murai, a friend of the Hayabusa clan, who is also plotting to take the Dark Dragon Blade. He summoned Hayabusa in order to distract him while the Greater Fiend Doku attacks his village and grabs hold of the Dark Dragon Blade.
- Ayane is an apprentice/henchman of Murai. I'd also like to note that Murai ninja/martial arts skills are unsurpassed(info can be found in the Ninja Gaiden instruction booklet)
3. http://youtube.com/watch?v=H2KgBHiRMHM
- Ryu fights Doku's army until he finally encounters him for the first time. The pretty face killed by Doku is a childhood friend of Hayabusa who safeguards the gem that, when equipped, unleashes the Dragon Sword's true power.
- Hayabusa is resurrected by the spirit of the Hayabusa ninja clan. Hayabusa means falcon for those who didn't know.
- After the destruction of the Hayabusa clan Doku travels back to tairon city, capital of the Vigoorian Empire.
4. http://youtube.com/watch?v=PqUxQcpYODs
- The only way to get to the capital is by boarding this ship. Ryu infiltrates it, and is then discovered.
- The ship is so high all you can see outside is a sea of clouds.
- After the vigoorian forces become aware of Ryu's whereabouts Ryu takes the ship by storm and ends up defeating this heavily armored enemy with an arm cannon.
- The fight is over and the ship is ablaze, it goes down. Ryu is seen unharmed and willing to play with heights some more as he slides down the cable lines using his gauntlets.
5. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ipqMgq1v0IM
- Ryu enters a nightclub and encounters this female hunter. Rachel has fiend blood within her. That is why she can carry around that huge hammer capable of slicing that dragon in half with just one blow. You encounter the red dragon fiend a lot of times during the game, and fight more than 3 at the same time.
6. http://youtube.com/watch?v=9jfk38duPr0
- Ryu fights the dragon fiends for the first time. Watch how the fiend makes quick work out of the soldier Hayabusa was fighting.
- Even Rachel is impressed by Ryu's strength and comments on his superhuman abilities. She hints Ryu may be more than what he thinks; as she once thought her blood was pure until she saw what Alma, her twin sister, was capable of when she was transformed into a greater fiend by Doku. Ryu says that his strength comes from training.
- The giant tentacle creature swallows Rachel, and it looks like a job for Ryu Hayabusa to defeat the grotesque hentai originated monster and save the princess.
7. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VZaLNZGjIOI
- After obtaining the holy grail Ryu finds himself surrounded by the undead. He fights his way outside the tomb until he finally meets the giant bird/dragon fossil and destroys it.
- The size of the beasts Ryu slaughters is amazing.
- At the end of the video Ryu is hit by a wall of water is unphased. That speaks of his durability.
8. http://youtube.com/watch?v=IdM4bubW7Dc
- Enter Alma the Greater Fiend. Ryu fights her until he defeats her, and her defeat causes her to lose control and unleash a blast of energy capable of lleveling the church.
- After the fight the Vigoorian Empeire setups a curfew and activates their military to track down and kill the vengeful spirit.
- Rachel with her superhuman strength, and giant hammer is unable to defend herself against Doku's might and is taken captive.
9. http://youtube.com/watch?v=YDObLm3Nxvs
- Ryu decides to take the battle to the Vigoorian army and dismantles their radio communications tower, but not before taking on his fair share of tanks and helicopters.
- We see him hitch a ride on the train, and even cause the massive crash at the end of the video. Take a nice look at the size of the explosion.
10. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LdlXHoZNRec
- Here you can see Ryu unharmed among the debries of the train wreck.
- Ryu can survive underwater thanks to an oxigen tank he found throughout his crusade. Only the beginning of the video is important, the rest has no highlights under the underwater part of the game.
11. http://youtube.com/watch?v=HcTp-K93QmI
- Ryu finally has his rematch with Doku. This time the greater fiend is wielding the [b]kitetsu[b]. A katana that absorbs souls. During the fight you can see Ryu performing a Nimpo fire blast, and finally beats Doku with the lightning Nimpo.
- After his defeat Doku reveals to Doku that Ryu, and all of the dragon lineage, have fiend blood. Doku announces he will bring the awakening, and that his hatred will not be so easily defeated.
- Murasame tells Ryu the Dragon Sword has potential for unfathomable spirit power, but it lacks the curved jewel carved out of the Dragon's eye . With it in the right hands the True Dragon Sword will prove to be more than a match for the Dark Dragon Blade.
12. http://youtube.com/watch?v=x5mpylNURTc
- Yet another fight with a huge fiend capable of using the fire and ice elements. Later Ryu Hayabusa is seen fighting an enormous flaming dragon. Piece of cake for the modern day Super Ninja though.
- The man with the mask is the Dark Disciple, and the guy with the coat is Gamov, the DD's agent.
- Gamov comments that the Dark Dragon Blade once free of it's seal gradually absorbs the chaos of the battlefield in it's vicinity to become an evil blade. It became a weapon of extraordinary power the like of which has never been seen before throughout human history.
No wonder Ryu's ancestors were so careful about keeping it secret.
13. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-3tgm-x_7Xs
- Ryu finds the Dragon's eye gem in a grave. If you paid attention this gem was being protected by the asian girl you see killed before Ryu's eyes when Doku raided the village. With the Gem in it's place the Dragon Sword glows lilac with it's released power.
- Haya makes it just in time to witness the fiendish awakening. What is happening here is that Doku is using Rachel's blood to upgrade Alma and make her even more powerful. Even with this new found power Alma is unable to stop Hayabusa with the True Dragon Sword.
- During their fight you can see Ryu dodging pillars being thrown at him and we see yet another example of Nimpo and it's reach.
14. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kq8pFTfJ1J0
- Ryu has a 2nd rematch with the spirit of Doku. This time Doku is finished once and for all, but not before Doku curses Ryu by turning him into a fiend like he did Alma.
- After fighting his way up the tower Ryu is transported to the fiend realm. There he battles the Supreme Fiend Gogohn, protector of Vigoor. This guy considers Ryu a puny insect and is capable of summoning fiends at will. Hayabusa kicks them back to hell and then takes care of the protector of Vigoor. Note how Gogohn can fly, and Ryu still handles him even with that disadvantage.
15. http://youtube.com/watch?v=hXmi-5LosMA
- Finally Ryu meets the Vigoor Emperor himself. Just take a look at how huge the Vigoorian Emperor is.
-We can see another example of the versatility of Ryu's Nimpo. With Nimpo Ryu can levitate an area to bring the fight to the Emperor. Even with the Emperor's inmense power being aumented by the Dark Dragon Blade Ryu prevailed.
16. http://youtube.com/watch?v=K5ejOiAJG8s
- The DD grabs hold of the Dark Dragon Blade.
Watch how the Dark Dragon Blade turns Gamov into nothing after being struck by it. Also note how Murai is transformed thanks to the power of the Dark Dragon Blade. As of this moment Murai has become an unsurpassed in skills devil incarnate.
- The final battle takes place with Ryu finally killing Murai and destroying the Dark Dragon Blade.

Lich King possesses nearly limitless will power, mana shield is something that uses the casters will to protect them from harm....
Lich king is not some manipualtor like the fiend, he is a possesser, he will rape your will like it or not, unless your suggesting Ryu's mind can contend with the Lich Kings?
