| abstract | - The Underworld (in Japanese: 魔界 Ma-Kai; the Fiend Realm) is one of the areas of Ninja Gaiden 2/Sigma 2 as well as Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. This twisted, hellish netherworld is also the place where the [[w:c:villains:Fiends (Ninja Gaiden)|Fiends| live as well as where the Greater Fiends are sent to when killed. Known as ""Hell" (in Japanese: 地獄, Jigoku) in Christianity, "Hades" (in Japanese: ハデス, Hadesu) in Greek lore, "Naraka" (in Japanese: ナラカ) in Buddhism, "Yomi" (in Japanese: ヨミ) in Shinto or simply the "Netherrealm" (in Japanese: ネサリアム, Nesariamu), 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.
