Known as Hell in Christianity, Hades in Greek lore, Naraka in Buddhism, Yomi in Shinto or simply the Netherrealm, this is the home of the wicked souls who die in the world of the Living, and home of the most vile of creatures, the Fiends. Here Ryu Hayabusa, the last Dragon Ninja, must confront ghoulish beasts and devils from beyond his worse nightmares, some of them including Black Spider Ninjas that have perished at his hands.
