Jason's Gallery - Duel of the Super Ninjas!: Ryu Hayabusa vs. Ryo Sanada!


In the middle of the night, with the moon as bright as the sun, as the cherry blossoms flow, lies two extraordinary warriors, fighting each other. One, a super ninja who lives up to his reputation. And the other, a teenage samurai warrior, who is a descendant of a long forgotten ninja clan. But whatever the reason, either a misunderstanding, an honorable duel, mistaken for demons or fighting to protect a rogue ninja like Kasumi, whatever the case is, one thing is certain, when Ryu Hayabusa and Ryo Sanada duel each other, it is truly...legendary.

Here we are, my digitally fanart of our favorite Dragon Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa an my favorite Ronin Warrior of Flaming Benevolence, Ryo Sanada, dueling each other. In a sense, if you are wondering who will win, I say neither. They are both evenly matched and rightfully so. In case you ask, "But Jason, Ryo is a samurai, not a ninja. How can you call him a ninja when he is wearing samurai armor?", let me explain. As I explained in the monologue, Ryo is a descendant of a ninja clan. The Sanada ninja clan, better known as the Sanada Ten Braves, are a group of ninjas who protected real life samurai, Sanada Yukimura until his death in 1615, back in feudal times. So in a sense, Ryo, despite being a samurai, is also part ninja. Hope that clears up everything. Other than that, besides the other ninjas from DOA and Ninja Gaiden, I want to see Ryo and Hayabusa-sama together one day. Starting off as enemies (due to reasons like Kasumi), but becoming good friends, allies and brothers in arms in the end. So, 'nuff said.
