* NotSoFastBucko: Sho spends most of the game trying to rescue Aya. You actually rescue her after Stage 4, and she even teaches you the secret to the ultimate Ninjutsu technique, [[spoiler:but the BigBad's ninjas were eavesdropping on you both so they could overhear the secret, and they recapture Aya after knocking her out with a cheap shot. So your mission to rescue Aya isn't over yet.]]

* WeCanRuleTogether: [[BigBad Kazuma]] tries to pull this off in the final stage of the game. This example differs from most VideoGame examples of this trope, as Sho automatically says no.

to:
* AllThereInTheManual All the backstory for ''Shinobi X'' is only detailed in the manual, making the FMV scenes - especially the ones that deal with [[CainAndAbel Kazuma and Sho]] - completely incomprehensible.
* CollisionDamage: Subverted in some of the games, such as ''Revenge'', where merely touching an enemy causes the protagonist to be knocked back but doesn't actually hurt him.
%%* DamselInDistress: Aya
%%* DangerousTechnique: The MacGuffin in ''Shinobi Legions/X''.
* FullMotionVideo: ''Shinobi X'' did this; specifically, the "live action {{cutscene}}" shtick used so extensively in TheNineties.
* HeelFaceTurn: Kazuma in ''Shinobi X'' pulls this, as he considers Sho a WorthyOpponent.
* MarketBasedTitle ''Shin Shinobi Den'' is known as ''Shinobi Legions'' in America and ''Shinobi X'' in Europe.
%%* MinecartMadness: Happens in ''Shinobi Legions''.
* NintendoHard: More like SEGA Hard, but the Shinobi series has challenge practically written into its very DNA. The original arcade game and ''Shadow Dancer'' make you a OneHitPointWonder and inevitably get hectic from all angles, while ''Revenge of Shinobi'', ''Return of the Ninja Master'' and ''3D'' are plenty challenging and fully expecting you to master their mechanics or get annihilated. The [=PS2=] entry is probably the hardest game in the entire franchise, between juggling a life-draining sword that forces you to play aggressively to survive, BottomlessPit galore with even having to combo enemies over them from wall to wall, and straight up ''hard'' boss fights that require you to use all the tools and abilities as well as have reflexes to survive; death means an [[CheckpointStarvation entire stage restart]] unless you reached the boss and if you run out of continues altogether, not even a boss checkpoint will spare you from a stage do-over.
* NotSoFastBucko: In ''Shinobi Legions/X'', the protagonist Sho spends the game trying to rescue his girlfriend Aya. You actually rescue her after only stage 4, and she even teaches you the secret to the ultimate Ninjutsu technique, [[spoiler:but the BigBad's ninjas were eavesdropping on you both so they could overhear the secret, and they recapture Aya after knocking her out with a cheap shot. So your mission to rescue Aya isn't over yet.]]
* SaveTheVillain: At the end of Shinobi X, [[TheHero Sho]] attempts to do this for Kazuma, but Kazuma decides to save Sho and his girl instead, [[DeathEqualsRedemption dying in the explosion]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he was responsible for]].
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Sho in ''Legions'' does this to save Aya from getting backstabbed.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[BigBad Kazuma]] tries this in the final stage of Shinobi Legions. This example differs from most VideoGame examples of this trope, as Sho automatically says no.
