Ninjutsu



Summary
Ninjutsu are the special abilities in the Ninja Gaiden games that can help Ryu make it through each stage. They typically cost some Ninpo to use, and thus can only be used finitely many times. Most ninjutsu are intended to deal damage to enemies, or help Ryu indirectly, such as the Shadow Clone.

Ninjutsu are found as Item Drops. In the second and third games, you always start with the Shuriken ninjutsu.

In the three Ninja Gaiden games on NES, ninjutu is used by holding Up and pressing B. Note that Up must be the only direction being pressed; diagonal-up will not work. Exceptions are Spinslash and Invincible Fire Wheel from Ninja Gaiden 1.

Ninjutsu may also be referred to as:


 * Sub-weapons
 * Special weapons
 * Specials
 * Ninja Magic
