Prismatic Butterfly

"Prismatic Butterfly" is a music track that appeared in Dead or Alive 3 as the character theme for Ayane.

The theme is also optional in the Music Mode in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, and can be selectable for any character and gameplay mode.

Dead or Alive 3 OST - Prismatic Butterfly

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The word "prismatic" means "colourful", and as the butterfly is a symbol for Ayane, the tile of the track refers to her as a "colourful butterfly".
When the player fights against Kasumi in Ayane's story mode, "Prismatic Butterfly" is played instead of "Eternity".
