Rapunzel Hair is no longer a trope


* RapunzelHair: Pre-''[=DOA5=]'', her hair touches her waist when let down. As of her ''[=DOA5=]'' redesign, her hair only reaches to about her mid-back.

I deleted the Bridal Carry entry from Ayane's section because it isn't a character trope and because the entry stated that it didn't even happen, so it doesn't apply to her.


* BridalCarry: An interesting aversion. In 6's story mode when found by her older siblings after she and Honoka went through similar events Hayate chose to carry Honoka like this while Kasumi was helping Ayane walk by holding on to Ayane. What makes this interesting is that earlier a Kasumi clone (who is physically equal to Kasumi herself) was shown capable of running carrying Honoka at superhuman speeds, meaning assuming if Ayane was heavier than Honoka (Ayane is noticably taller and around the same size as Kasumi) he could have let Kasumi carry Honoka instead and Hayate himself could have carried his own injured baby sister.
* BrokenBird: Shows signs of it due to her rejection by her village. She's very committed to her lifestyle as a shinobi but comes across as cold and unfriendly compared to Kasumi or Hayate. She also drove herself to become a worthy master of her clan's fighting arts in order to gain recognition (another trait of the trope). The scene in ''Dimensions'' where she tries to kill herself after a fight with Hayate just goes to show how broken she really is.

The most telling incident being when she [[spoiler: attempted to take her village. She's very committed to own life via ritual suicide]], simply because she believed Hayate hated her lifestyle as a shinobi but comes across as cold and unfriendly compared to for openly criticising Kasumi or Hayate.

* PlotArmor: Teaming up with ConservationOfNinjutsu to keep her clan from killing her over the course of 3 tournaments. Considering that she defeats Raidou, someone who even both Ayane & Hayate couldn't beat together, says something. Subverted, Dimensions shows that when Hayate and Ayane fought Raidou they were acting irrationally. This is evident when Ayane told Hayate not to use Torn Sky Blast against Raidou because of his copy abilities. Despite the warning Hayate did it anyway and as a result it back fired badly. Likewise, later on when Ayane tried to attack him, Kasumi shouted for Ayane to stop, but she didn’t listen and was easily knocked away. While Kasumi did initially defeat Raidou, she needed help to finish him off. During Kasumi’s Torn Sky Blast clash with Raidou she was being overpowered, but Hayabusa provided an opening for Kasumi to take advantage of. That being said Kasumi has consistently been shown to be an incredibly skilled ninja throughout the series. In order for her to even be allowed to face Raidou she had to defeat all the combatants of the Dead or Alive tournament. When Kasumi reigned victorious over Raidou, Victor Donovan became obsessed with her, and ended up cloning her to make super soldiers from her DNA. While Kasumi has been defeated by Hayate before she has been shown many times to have comparable or even greater skill than him. Likewise Kasumi has defeated Ayane multiple times throughout the series when the latter tries to kill her. In DOA 4 Hayabusa trusts that Kasumi is capable of handling the incredibly dangerous Alpha 152 alone. The result is they end up fighting to a standstill, prompting the clone to retreat. In DOA 5 a Kasumi clone was shown to be capable of holding her own against both Hayate and Ayane at the same time. Since the clone believed she was the real Kasumi she only used non-lethal attacks against them. Likewise, Ayane and Hayate knew the clone wasn’t the real Kasumi and they both had killer intent. It was ultimately a joint effort that resulted in the clone’s death. In the game’s climax the real Kasumi is responsible for destroying Alpha 152.

*BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Hayate and Genra were among the few in her village to treat her like a person, rather than a pariah. The latter even took it upon himself to raise her as his surrogate daughter. Ayane felt overwhelming gratitude toward both them for their kindness.

* DeusExitMachina: Kasumi's nukenin status means she is unable to help her clan, especially Ayane and Hayate, as they are hunting her, and this also means she can't just do heroic missions on a whim. Repeatedly, she goes solo and doesn't offer much assistance to the others, which out of story would be justified as having her immediately when the situation was still manageable and not when everything had already gotten to where even Kasumi would struggle would have ended things too quickly. Dimension shows she is absent from the fight against Genra, an opponent who is potrayed to be either comparable to or slightly weaker than Raidou, because she is only there to reunite with Hayate once more before leaving, although neither Hayate or Ayane would have wanted to have Kasumi fight Genra for them anyway, as she shouldn't be involved at all with the Mugen Tenshin affairs and they believe it's their responsibility, even if she would have been more than willing to help them if they just asked her, which resulted in the two of them being almost killed by Genra and required Hayabusa to act as a Deus Exit Machina by catching Genra by surprise and then leaving him open to the killing blow, and during the Mugen Tenshin's attack on DOATEC, she is outright against such a war and is busy fighting Alpha, a super-powered clone of herself, and thus cannot help her siblings tear through DOATEC's goons. In Dead Or Alive 5, she is absent most of the time while it's her clone that kills off the other clones and when Hayabusa calls upon her, she proves exactly why she was left out by her performance in the battle to rescue Hayate.



* Willfully Weak: Kasumi is ''very'' obviously holding back a lot of her strength against Ayane and Hayate, which is justified as being able to defeat Raidou and Alpha whereas the two of them working together can't makes it clear they aren't even close to matching her full strength so going all-out would have been too much when she just wants to incapacitate them. Downplayed in that even a restrained Kasumi still curb-stomps Ayane repeatedly and only loses to the amnesiac Hayate due to letting her brother win. The next time they fight, she wins against her brother and escapes from him.

The main heroine. Kasumi is the sister of Hayate and half-sister to Ayane, and a practitioner of the Tenshinmon Style of Mugen-Tenshin Ninjutsu. They lived happily together until one day Raidou came for revenge and snapped Hayate's spine. That sends him into a coma that everyone thought to be permanent, so he's left for dead. Kasumi ran away from her village to avenge her brother, knowing full well the consequences of becoming a runaway shinobi: death.

After defeating Raidou, she enters the second tournament after hearing that her brother is alive and has been taken by DOATEC for use in Project Epsilon. She finds him suffering from amnesia and going by the name of Ein, and helps him recover his memory. In the 3rd tournament she remains on the run but encounters and fights her brother. By the time of the 4th tournaments she realizes that no assassins have been sent her way as of late, and discovers that they have gone to assault DOATEC and put an end to their evil schemes. She enters the 4th tournament to investigate and prevent her brother to enter in what she believes will be a bloodbath.

In the 5th game, Kasumi becomes Helena's 'ally'/'messenger' in order to hunt down the remaining Alpha-152, in a slightly reckless degree. [[spoiler:This is because this Kasumi is actually a perfect Alpha clone that acts perfectly like the original. Hayate caught wind of this and along with Ayane, killed this clone.

Once she rescued Hayate and destroyed the clones, Kasumi swore to take down and defeat Donovan.]]

Ayane is the bastard daughter of Kasumi's mother Ayame and Raidou, the product of Raidou raping Ayame. The leader of the Hajinmon sect of the Mugen-Tenshin clan, Genra, sympathized with her, and decided to take her in as her foster father and teacher. Years later, she learned the truth, and dedicated herself to becoming the strongest practitioner of the Hajinmon style. She failed to protect Hayate from Raidou, and after Kasumi left, was ordered to kill her. In the 2nd tournament, she searches for Hayate as well, and encounters Helena, who believes Ayane to be her mother's killer at first, but it turns out to be a misunderstanding. Upon hearing her foster father Genra has been abducted and used as a subject for Project Omega, she enters the 3rd tournament to end his suffering. She then joins her half-brother Hayate to take down DOATEC once and for all.

An eccentric DJ and self-taught Muay Thai boxer, Zack only enters the Dead or Alive Tournaments for money and fame. While achieving a place in the top three in the previous three tournaments, either due to other contestants withdrawing or through his own efforts, Zack is the "winner" of the fourth tournament, as Helena Douglas gave up her title of winner to him. He plays a huge role in the ''Dead or Alive Xtreme'' spin-off series, as he is the owner and creator of Zack Island, where the games take place.

In ''5'', Zack is employed by Helena and goes around the world promoting the new Dead or Alive tournament to convince the public that DOATEC has changed for better.

A college student and T'ai Chi Quan prodigy, she is one of the first females to appear in the series, alongside Kasumi and Tina Armstrong. Despite growing up in a wealthy family, Lei Fang is a woman of justice and bears a very independent spirit. Throughout the series, Lei Fang seeks to fight Jann Lee who saved her life from ruffians six years prior the first Dead or Alive Tournament. Feeling she could have handled those rascals herself, Lei Fang then resolved to prove to Jann Lee that she too is a strong individual. However, Lei Fang had lost to Jann in almost every tournament, but she managed to defeat him in the fourth one.

She once again participated in the 5th tournament for a rematch with Jann Lee, but due to an embarrassing event involving falling atop of Jann Lee on a train, she lost focus in the actual tournament and was beaten.

A Bouncer and a self-taught Jeet Kune Do martial artist, Jann Lee is a regular in the Dead or Alive tournament, he has been participating since the first edition; Jann Lee’s sole purpose in attending these tournaments is to improve his martial art discipline and show the world that he is a great fighter.

Jann Lee comes from a troubled childhood, his parents died early in his life and so he was taken to an orphanage at some province in China, apparently he lived in poverty as he was seen out of the orphanage begging for food; the local thugs bullied him and ridiculed him for being young and defenseless, with this harsh life and horrible surroundings the young Jann Lee decided then to become strong and make a living for himself through martial arts.

His inspiration was Creator/BruceLee, all the young Jann Lee had was the joy of watching his movies, Jann Lee then made a resolve to learn Jeet Kune Do to succeed in life and he apparently learned it by himself, possibly by watching and reading about Bruce Lee and his Jeet Kune Do teachings.

Jann grew up into a great martial artist, using his skills to work as a Bouncer at clubs, he became quite overconfident and slightly arrogant too by reaching this far. Now living the good life Jann Lee only focuses in improving his already great martial art discipline, that’s when he decides to participate in the Dead or Alive Tournaments, through it he met great combatants who became his regular friendly rivals, Lei Fang whom he saved from a group of thugs six years prior the first tournament, Ryu who tried to warn him off the tournament as bigger threats were involved and Hitomi who also believes real strength comes from within oneself.

[[spoiler:Jann Lee wins the fifth Dead or Alive tournament. However, previously before the tournament begins, he was beaten by Rig in a bar brawl, and participated in the tournament to avenge his defeat, thinking that Rig is a participant. However, Rig did not appear and Jann Lee swore to defeat Rig for his loss.]]

A retired professional wrestler and father of Tina Armstrong, Bass enters the Dead or Alive Tournaments to stop Tina from dropping her title as a pro-wrestler to become a Hollywood sensation. The reason why is unknown, but some suspect that he made a promise to his deceased wife Alicia to protect Tina and make her into a woman of importance. He holds a job as an oil platform worker, which is how he knows Rig.

While working on his oil platform, he saw the announcement of the next DOA and Tina has returned to the wrestling ring. After reigniting his fighting spirit by fighting Rig, Bass returns to the wrestling ring, disguising himself as 'Mr. Strong'... which fails to fool anyone, but he still decided to embrace his old fans' cheering. He was unfortunately defeated by Jann Lee in the actual DOA tournament, and sometime later, the oil platform he worked on is destroyed... but not after Bass and Rig evacuated every worker there. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, he hadn't gotten ahold the information that Rig is actually Victor Donovan's son playing amnesiac...]]

A Runaway Shinobi from the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan, and the final boss of the first ''Dead or Alive''. He is the older brother of Shiden and paternal uncle to Hayate and Kasumi. A power-hungry being, he raped Shiden's wife, Ayame, which ended with her giving birth to Ayane, making the latter his daughter. After being exiled for his crimes, his lust for power drove him to defeat and steal the techniques of powerful fighters. Raidou's road of bloodshed eventually led him back to the village, where he took the Torn Sky Blast from Shiden's son Hayate and shattered his spine, leaving him comatose. He was later killed by Kasumi during the first Dead or Alive Tournament in revenge for Hayate.

...Or so it was believed. Raidou returns in ''Dead or Alive 5: Last Round'', having been resurrected by Victor Donovan as a cyborg.
