The Demon of Destruction (in Japanese: 破壊の悪魔, Hakai no Akuma), also called "The Demon" (in Japanese: 悪魔, Akuma), is the overarching antagonist of the NES trilogy of the Ninja Gaiden series.
History[]
Legend[]
700 years ago, there was a powerful demon in the world. It caused death and destruction everywhere it went. People were unable to stop it. A ninja, known as Shinobi, mustered the courage to face the demon. By using a powerful weapon known as the Dragon Sword, Shinobi managed to defeat the demon. Although Shinobi defeated the demon, he was unable to kill it. He decided to trap the demon's essence into a pair of statues. Each statue was given a name: the Statue of Light and the Statue of Darkness. Shinobi hid the statues in an Amazonian temple. A prophecy was said that if the statues were aligned during a dark moon, the demon would awaken. If awakened, the demon would unleash death and destruction upon the world again.
Discovery[]
Hundreds of years later in the 20th century, two men were exploring the Amazonian rain forest in South America. They were archaeologist Dr. Walter Smith and Jô Hayabusa, the leader of the Dragon Ninja clan and a direct descendant of Shinobi. During the expedition, they stumbled into the temple where the statues were hidden. By reading the prophesy written on a stone tablet, Walter and Jô realized that the statues were extremely dangerous. As a precaution, they took the statues for safe keeping. Jô kept the Statue of Light whereas Walter kept the Statue of Darkness. Afterwards, Walter and Jô went there separate ways, as Walter went to North America while Jô returned home in Japan.
Takeover[]
Decades later, the Amazonian temple was seized by an evil sorcerer named Jaquio. He rebuilt the temple into his personal stronghold. Jacquio compiled an army of warriors to be his servants. He found the tablet and read it. Discovering the prophecy, Jacquio decided to summon the demon but he needed the statues. He sent two of his warriors to find and return them. Bloody Malth was sent to find the Statue of Light and Basaquer to find the Statue of Darkness.
Search for the Statues[]
Bloody Malth and Basaquer spent many years searching for the statues. Eventually, they somehow managed to learn where they were located. Bloody Malth went to the Hayabusa village, home of Jô and his family. He demanded the Statue of Light, but Jô refused to give it to him. Instead, they held duel of life or death. On a moonlit field, Jô, in his traditional ninja uniform, faced Bloody Malth, who was disguised as a human ninja. They raced towards each other and jumped into the air. As they drew their swords, Bloody Malth placed a mask on Jô's face. Upon landing, the mask took control of his mind. It rendered him completely subservient to Bloody Malth and with no memories of the past. The first order was for Jô to bring the Statue of Light to Bloody Malth. He returned home, but the statue was already gone. Prior to the match, Ryu Hayabusa, Jô's son, found a note in his father's room. It told Ryu to take the Statue of Light and find Walter Smith in North America. Donning his ninja uniform and bringing the Hayabusa sword, Ryu left for North America with the the Statue of Light. Afterwards, Bloody Malth returned to the temple with Jô, who was still under Malth's control.
