What The Holy Hell Is Zack Wearing In Dead Or Alive 5?

I always figured Zack’s ridiculous clothing in Dead or Alive was due to the influence of series creator Tomonobu Itagaki. Turns out he might have been the only thing holding the rest of the team back. In Dead or Alive 5, Zack is a clown with a flower afro. Lei Fang’s in here too, but no one cares about Lei Fang.

These Ninja Gaiden III Screens Were Probably Pretty Before Someone Poured Blood Over Them

The next chapter in the story of dark Japanese hero Ryu Hayabusa will take a look at the man beneath the mask; a man that struggles internally over every life he takes. I’m guessing that’s after he showers off the gore.
