* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad (The) Jaquio]], real name [[EvilSorcerer Guardia de Mieux]], wants to TakeOverTheWorld. Jaquio learns of a legend about a Demon that came to Earth 700 years and went on a killing spree until it was defeated by a Shinobi. The Demon's body was [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned]] in a temple and its spirit was trapped in 2 different statues. Jaquio plans to free the Demon, believing it will grant him great power. Jaquio takes over the temple ruins and kills archeologist Walter Smith and kidnaps Ryu's father Ken in order to obtain the statues. When Ryu Hayabusa confronts Jaquio, the latter threatens to kill CIA agent [[LoveInterest Irene Lew]] if Ryu doesn't give him the statue, planning to sacrifice her anyway after Ryu gives him the statue. When Ryu confronts Jaquio again, the latter reveals he has made Ken his [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlled puppet]] and gleefully has him attack Ryu. Ryu seemingly kills Jaquio, but the latter is revived by evil magic. Jaquio obtains the Sword of Chaos and the Altar of Darkness that will allow him to open a portal and [[HellOnEarth allow a horde of demons to enter Earth, dooming mankind in the process]]. Jaquio attacks Ryu through his pawn Ashtar, and plans to [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice]] Irene and Ryu to summon the demons to Earth.

* NintendoHard: The trilogy as a whole is regarded as one of the most punishing and unforgiving series of games for the NES, right up there with ''Castlevania.'' Of course, this makes [[spoiler:that awesome ending]] all the more satisfying.

* AccidentalInnuendo: During the cut-scene of Irene Lew [[spoiler:getting struck down by Ashtar]] in ''The Dark Sword of Chaos'', she slumps onto Ryu, but the way the animation does it makes it look like she's descending onto his crotch. Even the WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd in his review of ''Ninja Gaiden'' {{Discussed}} how unusual it looked.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Robert T. Sturgeon in ''The Dark Sword of Chaos'' is a MysteriousInformant[=/=][[MysteriousProtector Protector]] with an agenda of his own, wears CoolShades and able to take down demonic horrors with a single gunshot, [[spoiler:who turns out to be a top United States Army operative and an extremely loyal ally to Ryu that he makes a LastStand to guard his back in the very bowels of Hell]]. This is especially notable considering how ''[[SarcasmMode well]]'' Ryu gets along with covert government agencies in other installments.
* ThatOneLevel: Stage 3-1 in ''Dark Sword of Chaos'', where the periodic lightning [[BlackoutBasement reveals the stage before you]] while all enemies and items are otherwise visible. You basically need to exploit the [[GoodBadBugs lightning still going while the game is paused]] to be able to reasonably platform it, because the game ''swarms'' you with fireballs that will likely send you into a pit or mob you to death, and some of these jumps are tight. And just for an extra kick in the nads, the last part of the stage is a large number of one-tile wide platforms with almost pixel-perfect precision needed. You fall, back to the beginning of the stage.
