Over the ninjas? And the females? And the more relevant males?
It's as much a pipe dream as Kasumi being superior to Ryu one day...
DOA2 featured Ein. I'll reconsider since he is related to the ninja half-siblings.
DOA3 featured Jann Lee. Was he relevant that time?
DOA4 featured Ryu, Eliot, Zack and Bass. 3 staple characters and one male newcomer. Apart from Ryu, were the other 3 relevant to the serious story that time?
DOA5 featured Ryu, Akira and Rig. Apart from Ryu, how relevant are the other 2 when one is a character from another game while the other is a new character that we totally had no idea who he is that time.
DOA5U featured Ryu, Akira, Jacky and Leon. One ninja. 2 guys from another game and a comeback character that never had a story after DOA3. Apart from Ryu, how are the other three relevant?
It's not really a question of relevance anymore to be honest.
