As some may or not be aware I am currently trying to beat Ninja Gaiden. Yes even as I type this, there hundereds if not maybe thousands people on youtube, who are preaching of how easy this game is.
This doesn’t include the numerous people who are beating the title in under 12 minutes.
Beating a game through means of playing through a straw, or doing your dishes while using a dance pad and beating a game, are now the achievements that people are looking for.
Anyway, this is not about any of that, but it is about Ninja Gaiden, and something I spotted in the game, that gave me wonder and interest to look further into it. I think some even be aware of the cartoon Vampire Hunter D, where the hero, and vampire hunter had an actual face and mouth in his hand.
Where had I seen this eye in the hand before? nowhere that I could actually think of. But the sight was enough for me to look into it. And this is where I learned of “The hamsa also known as the hand of Fatima, the hamsa has been traditionally believed to provide defense against the evil eye.” –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa
I wont go into much more detail, I will let you do the research on your own.
Whether or not the developers of Ninja Gaiden had this in mind, is unknown to me.
