DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou ("Blissful Death")

DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou (JP: 怒首領蜂 大往生, abbreviated: DOJ, iOS/Android: DoDonPachi Blissful Death) is the fourth entry in the DonPachi series of shoot-em-ups (the third developed by CAVE). It is one of the most well-regarded games in CAVE's catalog of shooters. DOJ introduced the Hyper System to the series, which allowed the player to give all of their firepower an enormous boost in strength, in exchange for increased game difficulty.

There are two versions of DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou that were released to the arcades; White Label and Black Label. White Label is the original release of the game, and Black Label is a sort of "revised" version of the game featuring an easier first loop, and a more difficult second loop, as well as the option to select between a one-loop or two-loop game. Black Label also contains a selection of mechanics adjustments and bug fixes. When differentiating between the two, people abbreviate the game as "DOJ WL" for White Label and "DOJ BL" for Black Label.
