| The Ninja Dragon...our hero is back!!! |
| Thrice our hero, Ryu Hayabusa has endured the hardest of trials and survived, and thrice walking away with the girl. After enduring the Demons of Hell, he deserved it! But no amount of training or legends would ever prepare him for what lies ahead. Only the long lost gifts of the Dragon Clan may save his girl now! |

| For the show, I'll start by showing the differences between the then and the now. To start, we have the Dragon Sword, and (wherever it came from, it's still cool) the Dragon Spirit Sword. Since we've learned as far that Ryu has the Dragon Sword back, and probably never gave up the Dragon Spirit Sword, this adventure leaves him with the power of both. So naturally, we have to establish which he's using at whichever time. So below, we display both swords, the DSS as usual, with the powerburst. However, the Dragon Sword will now be drawn from the back, giving Ryu better range up close. Observe. |

And speaking of power, I've placed below all the motions (stand, duck, jump...and now hanging from pipe and wall!) of each of the above swords. Another difference: use of "chi." In this new version, Ryu would be able to channel his chi anytime he wishes, giving each move a little more punch. In the blue print are Ryu's sword moves, and the red print shows his power moves. |
