All spoilers for games released before 2012 will be unmarked.A big, bouncy 3D Fighting Game franchise akin to Tekken and Virtua Fighter. Even though the male fighters (initially) outnumber the female fighters by a slim margin, it's the women who are the real stars of the show.The actual story is about the dealings of the sinister DOATEC corporation, who hold the Dead or Alive tournament as a front to finance the genetic research in creating the ultimate fighter. A runaway ninja named Kasumi gets tangled in the struggle, using the tournament as a means of escape and to look for her lost brother Hayate, and take revenge on her traitorous uncle, Raidou. Other characters enter the tournament for their own personal reasons, but all get sucked into DOATEC's larger scheme. Ayane, who is also looking for Hayate, is required to kill her half-sister Kasumi (as desertion from a ninja clan is punishable by death); Ryu Hayabusa (remember him?) is looking for him as well; Hayate is trying to recover the memories he lost after being experimented on by DOATEC; Zack's just doing it for the money; and it builds steam from there. Later on, the story shifts towards Helena Douglas, who is the daughter of the original leader of DOATEC, Fame Douglas, and the current heiress to the DOATEC chair. She plays a key role in the scheme of the real villain, Victor Donovan, who secretly aspires to control DOATEC from the shadows.Of course, nobody plays the game for that. They play the game for... well, another reason.Despite the vast quantities of Jiggle Physics, the game actually has a great deal of independent merit of its own, being much more fast-paced and kinetic than the 3D fighters that it competes with while remaining technical and reasonably well-balanced. It's generally considered in the top-tier of 3D fighting games, along with Virtua Fighter, Tekken and the Soul series.After the fights, the women tend to get together and play beach volleyball in a spinoff series called "Dead or Alive: Xtreme". Starting from Xtreme 2, there are also other activities like jet skiing in addition to the volleyball component. Again, the sports gameplay is the last thing anyone plays it for.Though sometimes shortened to DOA, the game franchise is not at all to be confused with the Film Noir D.O.A. (which is quite lacking in mostly visible breasts in comparison). For the viewer's inconvenience, the 2006 film adaptation of the games is titled DOA: Dead or Alive, instead. The franchise is also not to be confused with the '80s group of the same name, who performed "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)". Additional things that the franchise should not be confused with can be found on Dead Or Alive.Main Series (Fighting Games): Dead or Alive (1996 - Arcade, Sega Saturn, PlayStation [Remake]) Dead or Alive++ (1998 - Arcade) Dead or Alive 2 (1999 - Arcade), (2000 - Dreamcast, PlayStation 2) Dead or Alive 2 Millennium (2000 - Arcade) Dead or Alive 2: Limited Edition (2000 - Dreamcast [Japan-only]) DOA2: Hardcore (2000 - PlayStation 2) Dead or Alive 3 (2001 - Xbox) Dead or Alive: Ultimate (2004 - Xbox) (double-pack of Dead or Alive and a remake of Dead or Alive 2) Dead or Alive 4 (2005 - Xbox 360) Dead or Alive: Dimensions (2011 - Nintendo 3DS) Dead or Alive 5 (2012 - PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) Dead or Alive 5+ (2013 - PlayStation Vita) Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate (2013 - PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Arcade (2013) Dead or Alive 5: Last Round (2015 - PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) Dead or Alive 5: Infinite (2017 - Android) Dead or Alive 6 (2019 - PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One)Xtreme Sub-series Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball (2003 - Xbox) Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (2006 - Xbox 360) Dead or Alive Paradise (2010 - PlayStation Portable) Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune (2016 - PlayStation 4) (Asia only) Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Venus (2016 - PlayStation Vita) (Asia only) Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Scarlet (2019 - PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch) Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation (2017 - PC) | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_11bc87bc | comment |
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Zack = Dennis Rodman. Which became funnier when Rodman himself voiced Zack in Xtreme Beach Volleyball. The guy Christie assassinates in her DOA4 ending movie looks suspiciously like Steven Seagal. With the more realistic models in DOA5, Momiji gains a resemblance to Monica Bellucci, and Rig is clearly based on Wentworth Miller. In Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation, Luna's face looks a lot like that of Chloë Grace Moretz. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Characters give and take some pretty severe beatings with nothing to show for it. Unsurprising, given the aim. This is eventually averted in DOA6, where the characters do bleed when taking hits to the face. | |

Frothy Mugs of Water | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_17c7c925 | comment |
Frothy Mugs of Water: DoA 2 features layered cocktails and a huge mug of beer as trophy items, neither of which is especially inappropriate for a T-rated game, and yet both are very awkwardly dubbed "juice" in Western markets regardless. Team Ninja must have noticed this wasn't fooling anyone, as 3 dispenses with the trope completely by introducing Brad Wong, who is explicitly an alcoholic and fights while tanked. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The PlayStation version of the original Dead or Alive contained nothing resembling a story. Not in the game, anyway. The backstory is told through rather tiny text written on the outer edges of the pages over the course of the entire instruction manual insert in the jewel case. The second game isn't much of an improvement; while there are now cutscenes between the fighting, they're incredibly short and only provide the bare minimum of the plot. Kasumi's story mode is particularly egregious: Something about a Kasumi clone, Hayabusa wants her to stop her mission, Ayane wants to eliminate her, Kasumi thinks Hayate is her brother... all rather perplexing if you just go by what the game presents you with. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: In relation to the above trope, the female characters also have very identical facial features. If it weren't for their varied hairstyles and eye colors, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. This got some attention in 5 — Ayane, Kasumi, Hitomi and Christie have distinct enough facial features — but then Last Round had Honoka and Marie Rose with the exact same face. | |

| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_21f394ce | comment |
Spice Up the Subtitles: Before Dimensions and the 5th main title in the series all non-Japanese speaking fans had were subtitles to understand what the characters were saying, and these translations were heavily localized, ranging from the english text being a mere different reading of what the characters were saying to some other lines being almost completely different, as in it made some characters sound more rude and aggressive than they really were. | |

Some Dexterity Required: While a given for the fighting game genre, Hayabusa, Hayate, and the playable bosses in Dimensions posses combo throws that, while devastating (knocking off as much as a quarter of the health bar when pulled off), are done in sequences, requiring precise timing and inhuman precision with D-pad rolling. This does not prevent the AI from executing them flawlessly every time, of course. | |

A Winner Is You: There are no endings in the first game; it jumps right to the credits after the character's victory pose. Kasumi has no ending in the second game; it just fades to white and the credits roll. Yes, there is a very brief stinger after the credits, but she doesn't even appear on camera, only in voice over. | |

Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors: Later games introduced the use of the Triangle system, wherein normal attacks were beaten by Holds, which were then beaten by Throws which were then beaten by normal attacks.

| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Zigzagged. The default selection of costumes for the characters contain lots of variation across all of them. However, the DLC costumes tend to follow a theme, and a lot of the costumes get recycled for each character. It's also subverted with the girls' DLC costumes. They might all get similar schoolgirl outfits, but each girl usually gets four different sets of bras and panties. Depending on the outfit set, some of the panties even have different levels of coverage, ranging from boyshorts to bikini underwear. | |

Bruce Lee Clone: Jann Lee. Considering Jann is an Ascended Fanboy of Lee, it makes perfect sense. Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate adds another who doesn't look like Bruce Lee: Jacky Bryant from Virtua Fighter. | |

Ornamental Weapon | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_2cf48b40 | comment |
Ornamental Weapon: Justified as most fights in the series are part of a formal hand-to-hand tournament that most likely forbids the use of weapons. None of the ninjas use their swords except in cutscenes. Averted with Omega and once you've fought him, you'll understand why other characters can't. Bayman doesn't use his gun, knife, grenades or who knows what hidden weapons he keeps on him. Averted with Nicole, who uses plasma grenades. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: In the first Xtreme game, Japanese is the only language available (save for Zack). Most of the time, the girls speak in Japanese (despite their nationality, not applying to Kasumi and Ayane who are actually from Japan), but during matches you can hear them say random English phrases like "Nice spike!", "Nice serve!", and "Nice block!" | |

Sex Sells | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_36215b80 | comment |
Sex Sells: Despite the series' steep learning curve and game mechanics, its main draw has always been the fanservice, Jiggle Physics, and plentiful female character models. Fans remember the "she kicks high" advertising campaign, which was used to promote it coming to Platform/Xbox, along with both the "Xtreme Beach Volleyball" spin-offs. DOA 5: Last Round upped the ante with a plethora of risque swimsuit DLC, such as the "Aloha Set" which was offered as an incentive for pre-ordering the game. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: When the series isn't delivering over-the-top fanservice, it revels in equally over-the-top cinematic sequences. How else would you describe a guy blowing up a tower while playing an electric guitar on a skateboard? Which also applies to the gameplay, in general. A typical match can include knocking your opponent off a skyscraper, followed by being electrocuted as they fall through a neon sign, and land onto asphalt right in the middle of oncoming traffic. And the match simply continues as if it were only a minor fall. | |

Combo Breaker | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_38626ee3 | comment |
Combo Breaker: There are holds, which can be performed in most stuns from DOA2 onwards. Using the correct hold will usually reward you with damage and a knockdown, depending on the character, and timing the hold correctly will grant more damage. Cue lots of hold spamming during stun. Although, if the attacker thinks the opponent will hold, they can stop their combo and use a throw, which will do 150% damage to a holding opponent. Against some characters, that's over half your health gone. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Raidou vs the Mugen Tenshin Clan. With no one at his level, such as his brother, Kasumi, and Genra present, he casually wipes the floor with them all and even Hayate and Ayane are no match for him. When Hayate uses the Torn Sky Blast, he gets overpowered by the same technique in moments. Any Kasumi vs Ayane has the older sister swiftly beating down the younger sister, demonstrating the difference in skill between them as she even bluntly states Ayane is nowhere near being a Worthy Opponent to her. Jann Lee vs Lei Fang the first time. She gets quickly knocked down to the ground. | |

Non-Lethal K.O. | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_41d128e4 | comment |
Non-Lethal K.O.: Even more than being non-lethal, from 2 onwards no one even gets knocked out when they lose (they just lie on the ground trying to clear their head, still perfectly conscious). However, even leaving that aside, no one's worse for the wear when the over-the-top environmental interactions kick in (although it also makes the fact they don't even get knocked out even more absurd). Subverted somewhat. The prone poses in earlier installments were just still bodies, but if the full head-shaking animation plays, their bodies still fall to the ground and stop moving. It is still absurd that you can snap Ayane's neck so hard that her face is buried in her own chest, but she's right on her feet moments later. | |

Earn Your Fun | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_4427c24f | comment |
Earn Your Fun: Dead or Alive 5 challenges the hardcore among the hardcore players if they want to unlock 3 extremely skimpy swimsuits for Tina, Christie and Lisa; the game features a whopping total of 8 levels of difficulty: Rookie, Easy, Normal, Hard, Champ, True Fighter, Master and Legend, with the last three being unlocked after the preceding difficulty is beaten; rest assured that your average player can’t go through Hard without losing continues, if you want those rare swimsuits you must mow through Legend (4 difficulties beyond Hard) without losing a single continue on Arcade for Tina’s, Time Attack for Christie’s and on Survival for Lisa’s. Simply put, it’s a nightmare to get these pieces of clothing for the girls. The computer on Legend is on an whole new level of reading and countering any attack the player tries to connect. Just beating this mode is a chore, but beating it without losing continues is absurd, and that’s not enough. Even though the task on Arcade and Time Attack is already beyond insane to complete, at the end of the day is just 8 Stages each. On Survival though, it’s 100 Stages. So yeah, even some of the most hardcore players stop at Tina and Christie’s swimsuits. Luckily it can be avoided by playing 200 online matches. | |

Gory Discretion Shot | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_49f20c6a | comment |
Gory Discretion Shot: Fairly mild variation. If the player, as Ayane, beats Kasumi in Dead or Alive 2's story mode, she either leaves Kasumi for dead in the snow (the camera just focusing on Ayane as she glares down before muttering "...traitor") or finishes her off with a jutsu of some description, cutting away just as Ayane finishes "casting" it. Either way, you never see a corpse. Zigzaged by Hayate's ending in Dead or Alive 4. It opens with him violently slicing a mook in half. However, for the rest of the scene, the Jitter Cam is so intense that you can't really see much more than a few splashes of blood. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The original Dead or Alive featured ring outs and limited 3D movement. The edge of the ring would explode if you landed on it but otherwise the game was a very different beast from what followed. The rest of the series takes place in very real world-esque environments full of obstacles and uneven surfaces (there are walls and you can be knocked off of areas into lower areas, so no ring outs). Tina is a brunette and her voice was also much deeper than the games that followed; this is due to The Other Darrin. Also, it only takes a few hits to defeat your opponent, sometimes as few as four. Certain attacks can suck half your life bar in one hit. And, the breast bouncing was even more exaggerated than in subsequent games, not following any real world physics and just bobbing up and down for seconds after movement. Finally, there are no specific character endings; it just has your character's win pose followed by the credits roll. | |

| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The series isn't sold on it like some other fighting games, but a lot of the attacks do result in grotesque, unnatural, and violent angles for body parts to end up in. Take◊ the leg and ankle◊ of NiCO here. If her leg and ankle were bent like that in real life, her knee and ankle would be hanging on by a thread on the inside. There's a very real possibility she'd need an amputation from the knee down, or at least heavy reconstructive surgery. | |

Level Grinding: In all of the games, beating Arcade Mode unlocks a new outfit. And since the game features numerous costumes for each character, it takes a lot of Arcade playthroughs to unlock every outfit for every character. Exaggerated in DOA 5, which had the biggest cast of the series and over fifty costumes for each character. It can feel like grinding after a while. | |

IntercontinuityCrossover | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_5b351f0d | comment |
Intercontinuity Crossover: Nicole's story in Dead or Alive 4 suggests that the Halo series (or at least its semi-canon I Love Bees incarnation) occurs in Dead or Alive's far future. Ryu Hayabusa, the star of original NES Ninja Gaiden games, exists in the Dead or Alive world. Ayane, a ninja who first appeared in the original Dead or Alive, returns the favor by appearing in Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden games, which established that the Ninja Gaiden continuity is shared with Dead or Alive's. She's soon followed by Kasumi, and the characters who first appeared in Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden games (Rachel and Momiji) crossed over into the Dead or Alive universe in DOA 5. Finally, Irene Lew, Ryu's Love Interest from the NES trilogy, was fully established in Dimensions to exist in both Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden (where she was under the alias "Sonia") and Dead or Alive as well. A trailer for Dimensions seems to suggest that the Metroid games possibly take place in the same universe as well, thus making Haloid's existence Hilarious in Hindsight. DOA5 carries on the tradition with Virtua Fighter characters Akira Yuki, Sarah Bryant and Pai Chan.note Depending on how far you wanted to go with this, the presence of these characters (Pai especially) would, by extension, put DOA in the Project × Zone multiverse. | |

Bribing Your Way to Victory: For a given value of victory. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 has you unlock clothing for the girls while you play it which serves no other function in order to make the already fanservicy sandbox-game more fanservicy. Too lazy to work for your fap? You can buy a girl's complete set using real-world money. Oh, and all of this only lasts until you reset the game's save slot, of which it only has one. So restarting the game on that particular account meant having blown your cash for nothing. | |

The Grappler | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_6319f98f | comment |
The Grappler: The father/daughter combo of Bass and Tina Armstrong, a pair of pro wrestlers with devasting throws and chain grapples. Bonus points for when they team up, as they gain special WWE style tag team manuevers. Special mention goes to Lei Fang, who has special counters that position the opponent and her own set of chain grapples as well. Ryu Hayabusa is one of the staple "ninja" characters, meaning he's very quick and nimble...but amongst the ninjas, he excels the most in throws and grapples. Notably, he has multiple setups and variations on the Izuna Drop. As her gimmick, Nyotengu can use her wings to fly, but she also can use many different types of power throws, including being able to grab her enemies while flying. Leon and Bayman are moveset clones that utilize a military-inspired skillsets of CQC and Sambo, respectively. As such, they use a lot of grapples, holds and takedowns in their repertoire. La Mariposa (who is actually Tina's friend Lisa) is a Masked Luchador that utilizes speed, flips and Capoeira-inspired attacks. She also has a host of high-flying throws and hurricaranas. Mira is an MMA-inspired fighter that can shift from using stand-up striking and boxing, to using take downs and ground-and-pound attacks. She even has the ability to takedown her opponent while she herself is on the ground. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Some of the characters have costumes with varous degree of armoring. This has absolutely no effect on their durability. Taken to a ridiculous degree in 5, with the addition of a Guest Fighter Space Marine in full Power Armor. It gives her absolutely no more protection than the stripperific outfits of some of the other characters. | |

We Don't Suck Anymore | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_6467d53 | comment |
We Don't Suck Anymore: Tecmo's promotion for 5 had a general campaign for players to actually take it seriously, explaining the tagline "I'm a Fighter". For whatever reason, this ended up being undermined and they dove back into massive amounts of fanservice over the course of the various releases (possibly even in excess of previous Dead or Alive titles, which is saying something). Seems they're trying again with 6 (using a Darker and Edgier aesthetic instead of merely attempting to refocus the series). | |

Played straight with Helena, Christie, Tina and Lisa. With their rather mature looks and personalities, you’d think they’d be in their late 30s… but they’re all only in their 20s, with the “youngest� being Helena at 23 and Christie being the “oldest� at 26 (this also makes her the oldest female character in the series, not counting Nyotengu). | |

Guide Dang It!: In Xtreme, the manual says nothing about the character avatars. The pose that the characters show indicates what kind of mood they're in. Characters in bad moods are much easier to defeat in volleyball. But even knowing this, it's not immediately obvious which mood is which without a little trial-and-error. | |

Video Game Remake: DOA2 Ultimate is a remake of DOA2 with DOA3-quality graphics, revamped gameplay, and Hitomi from 3 as a secret character. Dead or Alive Dimensions is a remake of the first four games in the series for the Nintendo 3DS. It takes the opportunity to make the storyline more self-consistent, retconning the plot where necessary. (For example, Dimensions shows that when Kasumi ran away from her village to find Hayate in DOA1, Christie [who wasn't introduced until DOA3] used her helicopter to prevent Ayane from killing Kasumi and took Kasumi away to participate in the first Dead or Alive Tournament.) | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: The female fighters in the series fit this to a T. They are featured so prominently throughout the main series and the male-less Xtreme spin-off that some people are surprised to learn that Dead or Alive actually has male characters. Even moreso, Marie Rose and Honoka. Both are popular in Japan, not so much in the West, but that's OK... On the other hand, if Dead or Alive is collaborating with something else, you know who tends to accompany Kasumi for representation? Not Ayane, not Hayabusa. It's those two. For the record, they're side characters for the overall conflict of Dead or Alive or even Kasumi's personal struggles herself, not deuteragonist and tritagonist, and as far as seniority/legacy goes... they're fairly new. | |

Age-Inappropriate Dress: Every game before 5 has this. You could beat up underage girls in skimpy clothes to unconsciousness, and most of the prone KO states has all their underwear exposed. The fifth game changed this thanks to a Time Skip that puts everyone at or above the legal age — so now you're beating barely legal teenage girls in skimpy clothes, making it A-OK! | |

Luck-Based Mission: Literally in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. You have to get 9 Jackpots on Christie's slot machine to earn a Secret Ticket, which makes your character perform a poledance. The problem is, the machine you have to get the 9 Jackpots on is notorious for taking away anywhere between 100-500 times what you bet. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Jann Lee's backstory. He spent his childhood as a weak, bullied kid that can only escape the harsh reality by watching Bruce Lee films. Then he became an Ascended Fanboy. And the rest is history. Kasumi is a gameplay example of this in Dead or Alive 4. Her move set got a deep upgrade, making her faster, more agile and overall more powerful, but without making her cheap nor broken. In other words, she evolves from a Jack of All Stats to more of a Lightning Bruiser, like the rest of the ninja characters. Elliot from his past appearances to DOA 5, where he goes from a pretty able but doubtful guy to a confident, stonger fighter who is about to learn the final stage of his training. | |

Made of Iron: Everyone. Thrown down some steps? Knocked off a multi-story building or a hundred meters tall mountain? Blown up? Meh, just keep on fighting like nothing happened. Even by fighting game standards, some of the damage the fighters can sustain is ridiculous. It's even more absurd in 5. Run over by a tiger? Hit head-on by a derailed train? Rocket to the face? No problem. Been sent flying towards a chopper? Guess which one goes down? | |

"No Peeking!" Request: In Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Owner Mode, the player can gift a swimsuit to the girl's, and if their "satisfaction level" is high enough, they may be willing to do a "Raw Outfit Change", meaning they'll change right then and there in front of you, but they ask you to close their eyes. The player can try to peek, but doing so will usually cause a Naked Freak-Out and severely drops the girl's satisfaction. | |

Artistic Age | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_b1d2b799 | comment |
Artistic Age: Exploited; the localized games refuses to give away the ages of the characters who were minors: Kasumi, Ayane, Kokoro and Eliot. For the girls, this was due to the fact that they're exploited to extreme cases of Ms. Fanservice by wearing revealing to downright fetish clothing, and due to Values Dissonance in the West, it wouldn't stick well for 16-17 year olds to be seen this way. Done away with in 5, which explicitly takes place two years after Dead or Alive 4, so everyone is now 18 or older (although the game doesn't state the ages of the characters anymore). See the character pages for details. In an interview, Tomonobu Itagaki explained that, while in the West it's seen acceptable in media to sexualize women from 18-20 years old, in Japan it's acceptable from 16-18 years old. However, for a lot of people, that explanation didn't cut it. For some, it made things even worse. Played straight with Helena, Christie, Tina and Lisa. With their rather mature looks and personalities, you’d think they’d be in their late 30s… but they’re all only in their 20s, with the “youngest� being Helena at 23 and Christie being the “oldest� at 26 (this also makes her the oldest female character in the series, not counting Nyotengu). | |

| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Dead or Alive Dimensions is a remake of the first four games in the series for the Nintendo 3DS. It takes the opportunity to make the storyline more self-consistent, retconning the plot where necessary. (For example, Dimensions shows that when Kasumi ran away from her village to find Hayate in DOA1, Christie [who wasn't introduced until DOA3] used her helicopter to prevent Ayane from killing Kasumi and took Kasumi away to participate in the first Dead or Alive Tournament.) | |

Bass is a clear expy to Hulk Hogan in much of aspects, especially that he mimics the Hollywood Hogan persona. Tina also seems based on Hogan's daughter Brooke, but it's more a coincidence than a real expy. | |

Cool Boat | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_bb01ad0e | comment |
Cool Boat: The Freedom Survivor. Introduced in Dimensions, it's said to be the world's largest cruise ship, and it serves as a floating headquarters for DOATEC used by Fame Douglas, Donovan and Helena in succession. And it seems to be more than a mere cruise ship, because it stores explosives in its cargo hold, and the expanse of black metal deck between the helipad and the superstructure is covered with what looks suspiciously like missile launcher hatches. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The European Dreamcast release of Dead or Alive 2 added a costume for Zack which turned him into Michael LeRoi from Shadow Man, as Acclaim published the game in Europe. The costume would be retained in Hardcore and Ultimate. In the Scramble stage of DOA5, you can see a billboard that has the cast of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. DOA5LR's "High Society" DLC costume pack looks like Palette Swaps of Hotaru's dress from Dagashi Kashi, or is alternatively a Shout-Out to the "virgin killer outfit" meme from Japanese Twitter. The Idol Singer DLC costumes are heavily inspired by AKB48, down to their schoolgirl design and how each costume variation is separated by categories like Team D, Team O, and Team A. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Helena. She wants it because Ayane went on one to stop Helena from going after ninja, which resulted in her mother being killed. Kasumi willfully incurs the wrath of becoming a renegade shinobi by going on one of these after a fight between Raidou and Hayate. Pretty much the plot of Dead or Alive 4 with the ninjas. | |

Muscles Are Meaningless | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_cf9b131f | comment |
Muscles Are Meaningless: Nearly every female and some of the males invoke this trope. Most of the girls are slender without any visible muscle showing, and they can go toe-to-toe with any well-built fighter that outweighs them by a lot. In real life, someone like Jann Lee would pulverize and beat someone like Lei Fang into paste. This is taken to extreme levels with characters like NiCO, who's 4'8" and weighs 90 pounds. note 142 cm and 41 kilograms Even most of the other girls outweigh her by at least 15 pounds - in reality, parts of her would have to be scraped off of the ground in a fight against someone who is of equal skill when they outweigh her by 20 pounds. | |

The Other Darrin | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_d7f6f486 | comment |
The original Dead or Alive featured ring outs and limited 3D movement. The edge of the ring would explode if you landed on it but otherwise the game was a very different beast from what followed. The rest of the series takes place in very real world-esque environments full of obstacles and uneven surfaces (there are walls and you can be knocked off of areas into lower areas, so no ring outs). Tina is a brunette and her voice was also much deeper than the games that followed; this is due to The Other Darrin. Also, it only takes a few hits to defeat your opponent, sometimes as few as four. Certain attacks can suck half your life bar in one hit. And, the breast bouncing was even more exaggerated than in subsequent games, not following any real world physics and just bobbing up and down for seconds after movement. Finally, there are no specific character endings; it just has your character's win pose followed by the credits roll. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Ryu Hayabusa, who at the time of the original Dead or Alive, was a mere classic character that hadn't been seen for years; simply put, a Guest Fighter for old timers. Come the revival of the Ninja Gaiden series in 2004, Ryu's popularity soared. This success would be passed (or give it back) to Dead or Alive itself. Now, Ryu is heavily integrated to the plot, to the point of arguably being a main character himself. With heavy inclusion of Ayane on the Ninja Gaiden side in return. Both Marie and Honoka rapidly soared in popularity polls after their introduction, eventually resulting in the duo replacing Kasumi and Ayane on the cover art for both versions of DOAX3 — a feat previously unmanaged by any other character. Honoka is later revealed in Dead or Alive 6 to be Ayane's half-sister and Kasumi's cousin. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: Happened a few times with the series. The original game was revamped as Dead or Alive++, which included the extra characters from the PlayStation version and altered some of the mechanics. The PlayStation version itself had improved graphics and more characters over the arcade and Saturn releases (it also featured enhanced and modified gameplay, removing ring outs and replacing them with an infinite field of Danger Zone beyond the starting square). The amount of Dead or Alive 2 updates is insane, with a second arcade release titled Millennium and two different ports were released for the Dreamcast and Playstation 2 consoles, which contained various tweaks, stage additions and new costumes between all versions. Bayman was brought back in the Japanese Dreamcast version and would also appear in DOA2: Hardcore for the PS2, the final version of Dead or Alive 2. Dead or Alive: Ultimate is a double-pack of the original Dead or Alive and an updated version of the sequel (though Dead or Alive 2: Ultimate is significantly different, changing some of the gameplay mechanics and adding Hitomi from Dead or Alive 3, so that it's more of a Video Game Remake than a simple re-release). Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is this for Dead or Alive 5. It features Canon Immigrant Momiji from Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Rachel from the Xbox Ninja Gaiden, Leon (who wasn't in Dead or Alive 5), Hayate's alter-ego Ein, and another guest fighter from the Virtua Fighter series, Jacky Bryant. It also includes a fair amount of Dead or Alive 5's DLC as well as completely new costumes. Ultimate also has a lot of DLC exclusive to it, much of which is associated with the arcade revision of the game; Ultimate: Arcade. Arcade also adds three more characters not present in the base Ultimate game: Marie Rose, Phase-4, and Nyotengu as well as more stages. A "final" version of the game entitled "Last Round", featuring additional stages, characters (Raidou, the boss from the original DOA, and a new girl; Honoka), and balance adjustments (as well as the inclusion of all of Ultimate's downloadable content, including characters) was released in 2015.

Art Evolution: In every game thanks to improving hardware, but Dead or Alive 6 takes the cake for now, with a brand-new engine that can display even more realistic details then what was possible before. The “Soft Engine� that Team Ninja debuted on the PS4/One version for DOA5 Last Round (sadly not the same for PC), not only made the girls have a new type of jiggle physics but also made their models noticeably curvier, comparing Ayane’s base model from Last Round to her model in Xtreme 3, one can see the difference right away. | |

| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_e49686 | comment |
Even moreso, Marie Rose and Honoka. Both are popular in Japan, not so much in the West, but that's OK... On the other hand, if Dead or Alive is collaborating with something else, you know who tends to accompany Kasumi for representation? Not Ayane, not Hayabusa. It's those two. For the record, they're side characters for the overall conflict of Dead or Alive or even Kasumi's personal struggles herself, not deuteragonist and tritagonist, and as far as seniority/legacy goes... they're fairly new. | |

Expy | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Bass and Zack are clearly based on Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman, respectively. Why a basketball player is the basis for a character in a fighting game is a good question, until you remember that Rodman was a professional wrestler for a brief period. In Dead or Alive 5, Kokoro looks exactly like Tifa in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Nyotengu is basically a tengu version of Morrigan Aensland, and this is further referenced in two of her alt-costume colors. Brad Wong looks strikingly similar to Sephiroth, also of FF7... that is, if Sephiroth were a filthy drunk. | |

Unexplained Recovery: Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 makes no attempt to explain how Zack got his island resort back after it was hit by an asteroid at the end of DOAX2. Presumably, he got help from his alien buddies again. | |

Jiggle Physics | |
| Dead or Alive (Video Game) / int_ea46254a | comment |
Jiggle Physics: Not only is the series sold on it, but the series takes the ball, and runs with it. While the fighting game genre has plenty of examples of large breasts, this series is often deemed the queen of Hotter and Sexier in fighting games. The Xtreme Beach Volleyball series helps. Not to mention the fact that original Dead or Alive was the first 3D game ever to have jiggle physics. Dead or Alive 5 Plus for the PlayStation Vita takes this to ridiculous levels with its new "Touch Play" feature: if your own character is female, after winning a game and your character does her winpose, flicking the screen will jiggle her breasts, a feature somewhat similar to that of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. And now Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate for the PlayStation 3 directly takes after Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 once you activate the "OMG" option in the "Breast Motion" settings. While in-game after selecting any female character, just jiggle the controller and gaze at the results. Dead or Alive 5: Last Round actually uses a secondary physics engine just for animating the female character's sweater puppies. Breasts will not just bounce, but compress and deform realistically as force is applied. It's actually quite impressive, technically speaking... Hey, what's with that look? | |

Go-Karting with Bowser: Again, Xtreme Beach Volleyball: they love playing with their enemies. It's even possible for you to play as Christie and get Helena to be your volleyball partner if you give her enough dolphin-related merchandise, completely ignoring the fact that you killed her mother (although to be fair, Xtreme Beach Volleyball was before Dead or Alive 4, which is where Helena learned that information). Though Xtreme 2 takes place after the reveal in Dead or Alive 4. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Played straight in the first four titles, but averted in Dead or Alive 5, where everyone becomes relatively dirty and grimy by the time the fight's over and stays that way for the rest of the match; of course, the player can turn that detail off in the options. 6 takes it even further by showing the fighters suffer cuts and bruises during the course of a match. | |
