Boss battles in the Dead or Alive series are often the final fight in both story mode and most of the other game modes, although who the "boss" is, their gimmicks, and who fights them varies at certain points. The original dead or alive boss is Raidou, a brutal ninja who was responsible for crippling Hayate, raping Kasumi's mother and bringing Ayane into the world, and who stole the torn sky blast technique and who also is known for using other fighter's attacks and moves. Besides the difficulty of fighting him however, there is no true gimmick that Raidou relies on to make the fight anymore difficult, it's just a matter of skill and using what is required to defeat him. In Dead or Alive to, Bankotsubo Tengu is the final boss who fights you atop the Sacred Miyama. His fight is difficult since he uses a variety of gimmicks; he's able to fly towards you to close the gap to throw you, he's able to abuse his wind power to blast you back making it difficult to approach him, and in the original Dead or Alive 2, continued punishment from him will cause the screen to make a very trippy display effect which can impede the player's sight and make it somewhat of an annoyance to watch his movements. His attacks also do deadly damage, and his holds and throws are terrifying too. As of Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate, he also gains a special ability that allows him to change the weather of the Miyama, from Spring, Summer, Fall, and even Winter, which also briefly makes the screen bright enough to disorient unprepared players. However, he suffers from poor speed, although this doesn't hinder his ability to quickly counter attacks.
In Dead or Alive 3, Genra is the boss fight, and you fight him in his Omega form in what appears to he hellfire in a first person type view. His gimmicks are similar to Tengu where he relies on zoning to make it very tough to approach you, using his special sword, ground techniques, and other deadly ninpo to keep you locked out. Knocking him down will cause the player to fall as well, and his damage and throw damage output is also very deadly. Like Tengu however, he is quite slow and can be rushed up close although his counters and zoning can quickly reset the gap.
In Dead or Alive Dimensions are often times difficult as well too since the AI makes the fights brutal.
In Dead or Alive Dimensions, all the bosses can be encountered in the arcade routes, including Shiden who is Kasumi and Hayate' father. While he uses an altered more gimped move set of Hayate, his AI excels at countering and being able punish, so caution is advised. In Dead or Alive 5, Alpha returns in story mode as a boss to the False Kasumi and she plays pretty much the same as before. The very final chapter however has "Phase 4", who is a mostly silent Kasumi clone who is able to almost perfectly counter your strikes, punish when needed, and she has a higher than normal health gauge meaning she won't go down easily. After fighting Ryu Hayabusa, she is able to transform between Kasumi and Ryu, and then later Ayane and Hayate which can help her make some damaging combo set ups that are virtually impossible for the player to replicate due to her character switching ability. This also means the player will have to quickly recognize and realize which character they're fighting at a certain time and to be wary of the ninja's strengths and weaknesses. The fights are brutal and can be tough, but they are possible to win if you play carefully.
In Dead or Alive 6, Raidou once again is a final boss, but only in story mode where either Kasumi, Ayane, or Hayate can fight it. Who you choose doesn't matter, whoever you're most comfortable with or whoever you feel should end the fight is who you should choose. Raidou plays pretty much the same as in normal gameplay, but he constantly has a full meter which means he can virtually perform a break blow or hold at any given time. He also has a special ability to obscure the lighting of the stage which can make it difficult to defend sincr you're unable to see briefly.he His AI is also rather smart too and winning the fight can prove tricky
