Aerial Gardens

The Aerial Gardens is a location and fighting arena first appearing in Dead or Alive 2 and reappearing in Dead or Alive Ultimate.

While the arena’s exact location is unknown, judging by architecture the arena can be placed in either China or Japan. The arena itself is a waterfall plateau, bordered by a viewing gallery that is built alongside the falls. The level features multiple tiers with the player being able to knock, or be knocked, down to the lower waterfall plateaus or gallery areas.

In DOA 2 the match begins on a large rock plateau with a small wading river, due to the waterfalls, with the elegant viewing galleries surrounding it. The level features primarily in Kasumi and Ryu Hayabusa’s storylines where Ryu and Kasumi battle. In DOA Ultimate the level is somewhat smaller than what it was in DOA 2 with the combatants beginning on one of the viewing galleries where they can then break out and onto the waterfall plateaus if they choose.
