adversary capable of providing him with the ultimate battle to the death in the original Street Fighter 4 Evil Ryu is depicted as a vision that appears to Akuma during his meditation in a secluded cave in the intro for Super Street Fighter 4 arcade edition Evil Ryu is portrayed lying down in a desolate location as he slowly awakens it becomes evident that he has succumbed entirely to the influence of the satsui noharo gaining immense power determined and fueled by The Awakening of his ultimate power Evil Ryu embarks on his journey ready to unleash his Newfound strength upon his opponents in evil ryu's ending his actions draw the attention of shattaloo leading to a confrontation with two armed soldiers sent to intercept him unfazed by their presence Evil Ryu responds with a menacing growl evoking fear in the grunts ignoring their pleas and expressions of panic he swiftly dispatches them taking their lives before they can even react standing over their fallen bodies Evil Ryu declares that his thirst for power remains unquenched he reveals that his connection to the Hodo drives him to seek more Bloodshed and violence in his pursuit of ultimate satisfaction Evil Ryu asserts that only a fight to the death can satiate his Cravings although Ryu shows no signs of being influenced by the satsui noharo after the events of the Street Fighter 4 Series various games present a hypothetical version of Ryu who willingly or or unwillingly Embraces the power transforming into Evil Ryu additionally in other media there are instances where Ryu temporarily succumbs to the satsui noharo attacking opponents before returning to his normal State at the conclusion of Street Fighter 4 goken successfully seals away the satsui noharo using the power of nothingness allowing him to control it like gotetsu once did however the durability of the seal and its ability to contain ryu's dark power remains unknown in Street Fighter 5 with his friends Dawson and Ken's assistance Ryu fully converts the dark Auto into the power of nothingness through Haru kakusa this occurs during The Invasion by nikali who intends to consume Ryu for the gods simultaneously Ryu and the other Street Fighter Heroes prepare to battle against shotulu and the secret society while Evil Ryu symbolized ryu's darkest impulses it also catalyzed his Redemption recognizing his dangerous path Ryu vowed to remain in control and find balance within himself this struggle for Redemption became a crucial team in subsequent Street Fighter narratives as Ryu embarked on a quest to overcome his inner demons now we come to the second part of our question why does he have a hole in his chest before we get into that let's talk about evil ryu's appearance a bit Evil Ryu initially emerged as a variant of Ryu you know a pallet swap distinguished by his black or dark purple ghee attire his physical appearance featured a slightly darker complexion in hair color in his first appearance in the gaming realm specifically in the Alpha Series he also sported a black headband as the character evolved in subsequent games starting from the SNK versus Capcom series evil ryu's eyes took on a distinct characteristic of red irises however in specific iterations his eyes would glow entirely red further accentuating the malevolent Aura surrounding the character ultimately in Super Street Fighter 4 arcade edition an updated design for Evil Ryu was introduced portraying him with a significantly more menacing and formidable presence drawing inspiration from Akuma evil ryu's appearance underwent notable changes he now possesses sharp fangs his eyes emit a luminous intensity and his ghee gloves and headband are visibly tattered his hair stands on the end spiked upward with a reddish Hue furthermore his voice is demonic adding to his Sinister Persona during battles Evil Ryu consistently emanates a dark red Aura further emphasizing the corruptive power that engulfs him most notably Evil Ryu possesses a prominent and distinct feature a gaping hole seared into his chest a corresponding scar on his back also showcases a glowing Heaven kanji this scar resembles the aftermath of being struck at close range by oni's Meadow goharo attack it also serves as a potential reference to a scene depicted in the Ryu final manga where Akuma delivers a devastating blow piercing through ryu's chest during their climactic power and nearly overpowering him furthermore in ryu's guest appearance in Asura's Wrath it is a SORA who inflicts the scar upon Him Asura forcefully propels Ryu from Earth to the Moon attempting to impale him with his fist it's worth noting that the scar disappear hates upon ryu's return to his normal State the presence of a hollow space in evil ryu's chest holds significant symbolism representing the profound impact and repercussions of his transformation this cavity serves as a visual manifestation of the all-consuming power of the satsui noharo which engulfs and corrupts its wielder it serves as a poignant symbol of the intense internal battle Ryu must confront and the toll exacted on his physical being by embracing the darkness typically depicted as a void surrounded by an aura of dark energy the whole contributes to evil ryu's menacing demeanor and mirrors the profound inner turmoil he experiences this physical embodiment continually reminds Evil Ryu of his choices and the repercussions of his actions ultimately the whole in evil ryu's chest symbolizes the sacrifices he injures upon embracing the evil power within him evil ryu's self-identification as heartless is fitting considering the hole in his chest's location coincidentally aligned with the anatomical position of the human heart this Association suggests a more profound symbolism at play one can interpret the whole as a representation of Ryu consciously relinquishing his Humanity by metaphorically removing his heart marvelous appearances of Evil Ryu in animated movies Street Fighter 2 V in Street Fighter 2v a character similar to Evil Ryu is featured although not explicitly named as such this version of Ryu undergoes a transformation resulting from the implantation of a cyber chip into his forehead by shattaloo which is intended to control his mind in contrast to the typical portrayal of Evil Ryu with glowing red or white eyes this version exhibits pink eyes which can be attributed to the Cyber chip being fueled by psycho power in this altered state ryu's mind is shown to be in a constant form of heightened aggression as depicted on brainwave monitors he is unable to utilize his signature hadukan technique until he receives a manual order from a console to calm down it is worth noting that this portrayal of Ryu predates the introduction of Evil Ryu in the official games as the episode showcasing this transformation aired in 1995 a year prior to the character's debut in the Street Fighter Alpha manga thus this particular version of Ryu and Street Fighter 2v e can be seen as an early representation that shares similarities with Evil Ryu albeit with a unique twist involving the influence of cyber technology and the interference of shattaloo Street Fighter Alpha the animation in this animated movie released in 2000 after a night of training in a temple Evil Ryu is haunted by thoughts of Akuma killing his master goken by impaling him with his hand the corruptive influence of the satsui noharo intensifies his Evil Ryu arrives at goken's grave and he envisions Akuma approaching him the dark energy emanating

manages to break him free from possession by punching him that night Ryu tells Ken that if he cannot overcome the influence of the satsui noharo Ken must prevent him from harming others the following day Sean engages in a fight against Zangief but succumbs to the satsui noharo shun finds himself trapped in zangief's bear hug Ryu experiences a powerful surge of influence Breaking Free from shun's hold Ryu takes on Zangief alone unfortunately Ryu is influenced by shun satsui noharo which wakes and turns Ryu into Evil Ryu after that Evil Ryu prepares to unleash a mezsu hadoken against Zangief but Ken's voice reaches him snapping him out of it instead he fires the hadoken at the top of a building causing a devastating impact that demolishes the structure when Ryu questions Sean about his knowledge of that power shun reveals that their father also utilizes the dark Auto before Ryu can delve further into this Revelation a cyborg attacks him seeking to gather data in an act of sacrifice shun takes the hit from the cyborg for Ryu triggering ryu's anger and Awakening the satsui nohara within him which helps him to annihilate the cyborg with a hadouken obliterating its entire body later

ground Akuma asserts that the satsui noharo is the genuine calling of a fighter affirming that Ryu now standing before him has proven his point in an attempt to execute the Shan Goku satsu on Akuma evil ryu's action is interrupted by the presence of a flower this Interruption breaks the influence of the satsui nohara over him and he realizes that the flower is displaying an image of fuka Street Fighter 4 the ties That Bind Street Fighter 4 the ties That Bind is an animated film which was included as a bonus disc in the collector's edition of Street Fighter 4 for PC Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. the film features the same voice actors as the game maintaining consistency in the cast Evil Ryu briefly appears in the desert scene as a response to akuma's speech about the significance of Taking Lives and gaining strength later on after witnessing sea Viper's brutal attack on Kami Evil Ryu is awakened and consumed by the power of the satsui noharo in this state he loses control over his actions and engages in a fight with C Viper who underestimates the dangerous power he possesses and realizes he is too formidable to be restrained in his current state at that moment Canon Sakura arrive at the scene in a car distracting Evil Ryu momentarily this allows C Viper to retreat to the sin headquarters by jumping off a cliff using her jet boots ignoring Ken's pleas to stop Evil Ryu proceeds to destroy sin equipment and relentlessly chase down its personnel as two agents attempt to shoot Evil Ryu with their handguns they find their bullets ineffective and freak out fleeing from him one of the agents falls to the ground and sees Evil Ryu rapidly approaching however Sakura intervenes by grabbing evil ryu's arm from behind and trying to push him back as he raises his arm to attack Sakura he pauses gazes at her face and then reverts back to his normal State he collapses to his knees entering a slightly catatonic State as the realization of what he was about to do sets in soda what makes Evil Ryu so strong similar to his regular form Evil Ryu utilizes the unnamed ansatsukin fighting style his moveset combines elements from both Ryu and Akuma showcasing ryu's more straightforward inputs and slightly slower attacks with akuma's potent Combos and power while evil reuse strikes are generally stronger and faster than ryu's they remain slightly slower than akuma's Swift attacks the prolonged startup of his techniques makes it necessary for opponents to keep up a steady offensive Cadence Evil Ryu specializes in applying consistent offensive pressure which includes pounding opponents with powerful blows and causing a lot of damage with his Target combos if they make a mistake although his stamina is marginally better than akumas it's still low leaving little room for error evil ryu's play style heavily emphasizes offense lacking defensive options except for the Ashura senku unlike other characters who can balance both offense and defense his lower stamina suggests a lack of defensive capabilities and his movement speed is somewhat slower which can pose challenges if a careless player gets caught in a combo in Super Street Fighter 4 arcade edition evil reuse moveset is altered to more closely resemble akumas including his special attacks and the addition of a new special move dubbed the Ryu sokyaku additionally Evil Ryu obtains the ability to cancel into Ashura senku from any of his regular or special strikes as well as most of his techniques into the Raging demon in the arcade edition as a boss character he is incredibly deadly in close combat because of this which deters opponents from hitting him there Ryu and akuma's skills are combined in evil ryu's super combos the shun Goku satsu one of his super combos is identical to akumas but has a lower priority and is more vulnerable to counter-attacks in his most recent appearance evil ryu's first Ultra Combo the metsu hadoken functions similarly to ryu's version but now can be charged the masatsu goshoryou his second Ultra Combo carries over its prior functionality from earlier appearances and provides an extra strike if the combo is successful other appearances of Evil
