the world of this iconic fighter this video is tailor made for a Kuma Enthusiast like you without further Ado let me welcome you to the fighter [Music] verse we're going to start this video with all of the evolutions of Akuma to understand every single stage of his presence during the street fighter timeline his basic version as fandom States Akuma is a cold and extremely powerful Warrior whose sole reason for being is to hone his fighting skills by battling and destroying strong foes he rarely displays any sign of emotions or humanity and rarely Smiles as a righteous calling or as an afterthought of conquering a major adversary he will not engage in battle against helpless people Akuma usually wears a dark colored G with the sleeves removed similar to Ken and Ryu he has red hair with a Top knod Sharp pointed teeth and is often barefooted though some some games have him wearing brown sandals depending on the game or piece of art he either wears a black belt at his waist or a length of rope over his hands he either wears Brown training gauntlets or wraps his hands with rope as well he has tan skin and Crimson eyes and wears his deceased Master prayer beads around his neck when fighting another fighter Akuma rarely resorts to his true strength he only fights Warriors he deems worthy or those he believes have the potential to become such Akuma fought Ryu in Street Fighter Alpha 2 just to gain insight into ryu's abilities Shin Akuma known in Japan as Shin GOI appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2 as a hidden boss this is the form Akuma takes when he becomes almost one with a satsu noad although he does not lose his Humanity in doing so his personality remains more or less the same as the original essentially he is Akuma using the fullest extent of his power however he is more competitive in battle and less merciful when he is fighting a strong Warrior he will only fight at his true potential when he has found an equal to do battle with the two versions operate very similarly but Shing Akuma is faster deals more damage and can throw two sanku hadin at once his special moves also tend to have more priority and Recovery compared to the playable version also his shin gokus satsu is much faster and travels farther making it harder to evade and in some instances inflicts more damage in some games Shin Akuma also has extremely powerful specials as well Shin akuma's overall style revolves around completely overwhelming the opponent he already adds more on top that he can already do as his normal State and with practically no recovery between his attacks he can string together more devastating crossup attacks and combos that he can't do as his regular self Shin Akuma is not to be taken lightly since he can do severe damage to a careless player or the opponent Oni which translate to ogre is Akuma in his strongest form this is the form Akuma takes when he has become one with the satu noad entirely completely losing any shred of humanity he had remaining due to his training and meditation Akuma may have surpassed some of the darker aspects of the satsu noad allowing him to control his actions as Oni he finally becomes one with the satsu noad whose power has now managed to completely overtake him Oni appears as a far more muscular and noticeably larger version of Akuma he has dark blue skin glowing yellow red eyes and glowing spiky shoulder length hair fangs and short protusions on his forehead resembling growing horns the top half of his G has been blown off by the amount of dark G he emanates showing off his muscular T the prayer beads that were once around his neck now float about disconnected around his body having reached the full extent of the satsu noad to the point of turning into a demon instead of a concrete martial art style he relies on unrestrained yet graceful movements filled with abandon embodying that of a terrible destructive force beyond control the satun noad also enables him to perform powerful energy attacks as well another version of Akuma is cyber Akuma mechanically enhanced by apocalypse cyber akuma's upgrades include a mechanical right arm dub booster rocket metal wings and four extra arms that are only seen in one of his wind poses his first appearance was on Marvel Superheroes versus Street Fighter as the final boss because of apocalypse's control over him cyber akuma's personality is vastly different from that of the original akumas being more sural this is the mecca version of Akuma called zero Akuma zero Akuma is an extremely powerful Mech based on Akuma featured in the game cyberbots full metal Madness it featured a unique play style similar to Street Fighters is Akuma as well as a unique life bar design zero akuma's powers and abilities are flight weapon Mastery energy manipulation and energy projection martial arts force field creation and explosion manipulation in Street Fighter 6 Akuma is back and his appearance has evolved yet again as fans of the series may have noticed one of the most noticeable changes to his appearance is his white hair while some may attribute this to his connection to the fullblown Menace that is Oni it's possible that this is just a natural sign of Aging for the demon Warrior despite being one of the meanest fighters in the series aging is something that we all inevitably face Akuma despite his formidable abilities is not immune to the passage of time after all he and his brother gken were both trained by the legendary gotetsu meaning that Akuma is roughly the same age as his sibling it's a Bittersweet realization for fans of the series as it means that we might be seeing less of the Lightning Fast Ultra powerful Akuma we know and love however it also presents an exciting opportunity to explore his character in new and interesting ways akuma's latest appearance is not a complete overhaul of his design while his trademark look is mostly the same there are a few notable changes his prayer beads have shifted from brown to Black Additionally the fur around his shoulders appears to be a lighter color than before with a Wild Mane of hair that may or may not contain some animal fur the images of akuma's new design have caused quite a stir among fans with many wondering what these changes might signify is he embracing his connection to the demon realm in a more visceral way as a fan of the Street Fighter franchise I've been following the latest updates on akuma's appearance with great interest and while there may have been some changes to his design I can't help but wonder if there's more to it that meets the eye personally I think Capcom is working hard to make Akuma even cooler than before he's already one of the most exciting characters in the series and it's clear that the development team wants to take him up to the next level one possible feature that they could be working on is the concept of a level up system for Akuma this could be something akin to manan's Medallion level up system system where akuma's appearance changes as he Taps into the full power of the satsu noad his white hair and overall appearance could serve as an indication of his transformation as he becomes more submerged in the dark energy that fuels his fighting sty this could give him an even greater Edge in combat with abilities that go beyond human comprehension of course it's important to remember that designs and ideas can change all the time during game development we don't know for sure if this Theory holds any weight until we see a in action in the upcoming game it's possible that this could be a hint towards akuma's Journey towards Enlightenment but we won't know for sure until we get to play the game ourselves regardless of what changes away Akuma in the future one thing is for sure he remains one of the most iconic characters in the street fighter Universe let's start today's episode with the meaning behind his name gosu's name comes from Street Fighter 2 the animated movie which was produced at the same time as super turbo where is the name given to R and Ken's Master Capcom adapted the name gotetsu for Goen and akuma's master instead of being another name for Goen gotetsu has many variants of his origin stories and what is known of the master in the more traditional story gotetsu was the martial arts master of Goen and his brother Akuma and was also a user of the satsu noad being the only known person who could use the power without falling into its darker aspects possibly because he only used it sparingly and wisely this was also how his two students were introduced to its power prior to the events shown in the Street Fighter games ketsu was challenged and killed by Akuma at his full potential who performed theung gokus satsu on his soul in a fight to the death gotetsu gladly died happy to see that his students surpassed him in the art the prayer beats that Akuma wears originally belonged to gotetsu ketsu can be seen in akuma's ending along with Goen in the original Street Fighter Alpha this was his only onscreen appearance in the series and through F Alpha Generations ketsu has an important role in the animated movie he has shown fighting Akuma at the beginning and is revealed that he has tried in vain to dissuade his student from delving deeper and deeper into the power of the satsu noad while gotetsu himself proved able to tap into its power unlike Akuma he didn't seem to suffer from its side effects likely because his more balanced approach and rarer used unlike his Game appearance he is depicted as having short hair and a very small stature and stri F assassin's Fist in keeping with his established backstory and depiction he is shown as the old master of gken and GOI the original name of Akuma teaching them the old ways of the ANUK to overcome and destroy the opponent but also preaching about finding balance between the light and the Darkness as GOI immersed himself in the study of the satsu noad kotetu ordered him to leave the dojo when GOI resurfaced as Akuma ketsu challenged him to try and stop him but was defeated and killed by his former student he is also depicted as having a niece sayaka who served as a love interest for both Goen and Akuma in another variant of gettu story and Origins wudon Comics released Street Fighter Origins Akuma which gives a little more information on the ANUK Master it was revealed that gotetsu had originally a group of students and fighters who were well versed in the had at some point many of his students such as Yuki and his first generation of students were almost possessed by the satsu noad and had to turn into demonic beings and assassins eventually they turned against each other due to the evils that was caused by guki gosetsu saw the Potential Threat of what could happen if someone was not able to contain the dark Hado with light and sent a group of men to find Yuki and his hiding spots to take him out during the winter in Japan he and retsu found a young Akuma who was badly wounded from a bear attack he took Akuma back to his dojo to help heal him as Akuma woke up he asks him where is he ketsu tells him that he has nowhere to go and that he heard about kuki his father's murder gotetsu told Akuma that he once trained his father after a long talk gettu told Akuma that he would find his brother Goen Akuma however told him that Goen did not want to be found and that Akuma wanted to know all about ANUK and its techniques many years later a businessman who hosts tournaments came to Goat dojo in order to find Akuma gosetsu told him where to find Akuma later that night gosetsu noticed that Akuma was troubled and he asked him to come inside the dojo to ask him what was wrong Akuma told him that he wanted to know more about himself and let the to dojo in order to find himself the very next day goken appeared right in front of gosetsu and his dojo to thank him and ask him to train him in order to grow stronger as a person which gotetsu agreed to 5 years later Kuma came back to gotetsu and the dojo to train again in order for him to become the perfect Warrior gotetsu told him that he must go into the mountains in order for him to find who he truly is when gotetsu was training other young students on the art of anat suin a demonic looking Akuma under the influence of the satsu noad looked at him with rage gosetsu told Akuma to abandon the power like his father did before it corrupted him completely Akuma told him that he finally knows about how his father was killed and tells ketu's time has come the two engaged in a fight as kotetsu told him about how dangerous theu noad was if fully embraced and told him that he cannot stop fighting he pleads with him to stop and ask him what he truly wants from this fight only for Akuma to reply that he wants him to prepare for death Akuma kicks him in the air with the demon Armageddon kicking gosetsu through the dojo roof killing him as a sign of gratitude for all the years spent under him Akuma takes his body to a mat under a tree and respectfully lies him down fun fact Yuki's name means Ox demon Ox alludes to the strength of Goen and Demon alludes to Akuma as stated by fandom while earlier Street Fighter games made references to Rio and Ken's Master Goen Goen made his first Illustrated appearance in Street Fighter 2 Ryu masaomi Kan saki's manga adaptation of Street Fighter 2 since then goken has appeared in several Street Fighter movies and Comics including udon's Street Fighter line of comics akuma's ending in Street Fighter Alpha and the Street Fighter Alpha Generations movie before his illustration in Street Fighter Alpha gokan's appearance would defer vastly between media Goen himself was based off shenlong a character that originated from the infamous English mistranslation of R's wind quot from the early versions of the Street Fighter 2 Series you must defeat Shen long to stand a chance which many speculated was referring to R's Master it was intended to say You must defeat my shukin to stand a chance April Fool's jokes created by egm in 1992 and 1997 actually provided an appearance for Shang long which in turn directly influenced gokan's current appearance it should be noted that prior to Street Fighter 4 Shang long was actually used as gokan's Western name in some media similar to how his brother is referred to as either Kuma or gouki depending on the region gken was finally introduced as a playable character in Street Fighter 4 in response to fans demanding shenlong one of his obtainable player titles States AKA shenl and one of his win quotes even references the original quote you must defeat me to stand a chance his appearance is similar to the Shinto kitsuki diary saruto who is considered the oldest of the patron gods of the martial arts in Japan representative of purification strength courage and is guardian of the bridge that connects the Earth to the heavens his personality may also be reflective of Mori oiba the founder of aido and spiritualist who found Enlightenment and spiritual Harmony in his later years it is also said that gken and akuma's design were based on the Neo or the Kishi two wrathful statues that guard under a separate Temple the entrance of a Japanese Buddhist temple each of these statues States a purpose thus having a meaning in their creation the right statue that guards the Gate of the Buddhist temple is called misaku Kongo it is a symbol of overt violence with its open mouth and barring teeth holding a mallet ready to protect with ferocity the entrance to the temple the left statue that guards the temple is called narang gongo this statue symbolizes strength it can wield a sword or it can be barehanded one of its characteristics is that this statue has its mouth closed demonstrating Serenity and power Goen is usually depicted as a bearded man who wears japamala prayer beads on his neck and a karate G with the kanji moo sewn to the back it is said that the Japanese and Korean term moo or Chinese woo means not have without is a key word in Buddhism especially Zen Traditions as the preceding Master of the martial art that Ryu and Ken practice and wield in the series Goen is nonetheless the originator and Peerless practitioner of the toned down assassination martial art taught by gotetsu as seen in his move said goken has m mastered the martial art to the point that he has grown to create techniques that better suit his own Dynamics and philosophies one that follows the use of both the had noara and the power of nothingness for an effective and Powerful form of self-defense rather than the violent and destructive form of the martial art that his brother wields within the satsu noad this is most significant in his repertoire spelling and Dynamics many of their kanji are those with more benevolent and less wrathful interpretations than ones seen in a kumas and they are performed in such ways where they are intended for knockout stopping Force rather than maming and severe injury as Stern and serious as he can be Goen is nonetheless enthusiastic in the nature of competition being a spirited and modest good sport at heart his approach is silent and calm evocative of send principles and he often shares insightful if not also blunt and critical advice and wisdom to that effect for example he tells Dan that anger will not help him fearing it would lean him to a dark place and he informs DJ that if he is silent he would be surprised at what he learns he is on good terms with people like rose and doam who share similar ideals and beliefs Goen detests Akuma for killing their master gotetsu and embracing the darkness that resides within their Arts instead of seeking a purer form of strength he also despises bison for his use of psychop power believing he endangered the world the most destructive character in the street fighter Universe first made his debut on Super Street Fighter 2 turbo hyper fighting on December 1992 akuma's Legacy started there but its character creation was not brought without thought and planning akuma's character was sketched and redesigned multiple times by the japanese-based video game company Capcom in which the street fighter franchises in the Capcom team of graphic designers wanted to make sure to have the perfect character to be in the vessel of the dark had since not having much success with its drawings the street fighter Capcom found inspiration on the ends of Buddhism akuma's design was based on the Neo or the Kishi two wrathful statues that guard under a separate Temple at the entrance of Japanese Buddhist temples each of the statues States a purpose thus having a meaning in their creation the right statue that guard W the Gate of the Buddhist temple is called mishak Kongo it is a symbol of overt violence with its open mouth and bearing teeth holding a mallet ready to protect with ferocity the entrance to the temple the left statue that guards the temple is called narang gongo this statue symbolizes strength it can wield a sword or it can be barehanded one of its characteristics is that the statue has its mouth closed demonstrating surrender and power the new status's Fierce and threatening look was designed to ward off evil spirits and to keep the temple grounds free of demons and thieves the irony of the Capcom creators but nevertheless we can appreciate the origins of the art and structure of the Street Fighter's Ultimate Fighter akuma's fear's looks are just as mean as the Arsenal of fighting moves he has in his book but there is no technique feared by the street fighter Community other than his legendary shung Goku satsu also known as The Wrath of the Raging demon the Wrath of the Raging demon is a very powerful technique taught in the assassination Arts with any martial art developed with the intention of destroying an opponent this type of technique was taught by Akuma trainer gotetsu this technique when performed while wielding the dark Hado power will be submerged in its killing intent giving its opponent a series of deadly strikes in an instant Fighters that had used this technique gave into the powers of the dark had and eventually became consumed by its power becoming a violent demonic being like for example Oni akuma's evolution form when he becomes one of the dark had the only character who could resist this technique without giving in was akuma's trainer gosu the interesting aspect of the wrath of a raging demon is that its technique is based on karmic forces obtained from the dark hadu its technique punishes its opponent on the merits of the sins and evil the opponent has marked in his soul in other words the damage applied when the Wrath of the Raging demon is applied is not determined by the strength of akuma's power it's determined by the opponent's evilness hurting its opponent as much as he or she deserves while being powerful this technique can only be executed on living life forms that possess a soul the wrath of raging demon when executed lights up akuma's back with a red fiery kanji symbol this symbol on akuma's back has been the character's trademark design one who fits full to its persona but what is the meaning of this symbol what does it State the symbol located on akuma's back is the Japanese kanji called 10 that can also be translated as Heaven this kanji like in most Japanese writings can mean plenty of things it can be translated as day heaven or invincibility the kanji on his back is made to reflect immortality at the rate of power meaning that when the character 10 appears on its back it's representing immortality in Old Japanese folklore whenever the kanji with the character 10 appears on someone's forehead it means the person is Immortal thus Capcom taking the idea of modifying it to fit the symbol on the back of akuma's guy pretty interesting fact considering that akuma's style and behavior exceeds the capability of other characters in the street fighter Universe akuma's style of technique is Zod to 10 as promised in the beginning of our video we have a bonus dark secret about Akuma in the street fighter Universe you may wonder how someone with amazing ability and strength gets its energy from the fact is that Akuma is a great martial artist he is also indeed a human and needs to feed himself from time to time but what does a character like Akuma eat in this prequel film made by a Capcom approved fan called Street Fighter assassin's Fist we can dwell inside akuma's training regimen when he is exiled from his trainer's dojo we can see in this short how Akuma uses his haduken technique to Fish by the lake by hurling haduk to the lake he can pick up the unconscious fish that floats on the top making it an easy meal for Akuma haduken fishing at its finest now thinking about all the power AK Akuma expels out of his body I personally think a couple of fish would not replenish his power and stamina but at least the guy eats healthy maybe that's why he does not need that much food to begin with but indeed It's A peculiar fact that makes the character more relatable to his Human Side after all even though he is a strong individual he is still human akuma's character in the street fighter universe will always be one of Intrigue and mystery a powerful Godlike being in which his only objective is to be the strongest in the world achieve superhuman strength power and status and to Rin Terror on any Challenger that opposes him akuma's Legacy to push the boundaries of inner power and display it in the battle arena is what makes this character so amazing personally and to most of the viewers its favorite character in the Street Fighter Saga the dark Hado Master himself has secrets in his name that fills the very existence of its personality the power of nothingness is also known as the moon noin in Japanese it is also known as the kosui noad meaning surge of mindless intent or the sacred had it is a light based energy force used by gken H and to a certain extent Ken master the power of nothingness is a state of consciousness transcending ordinary perspective born through spiritual and mental refinement bearing common traits with states of being with Buddhism martial arts and spiritual Perfection it is the power to act without being attached to emotions and thought free of fear anger pride and ego to draw upon the contents of one's heart intuitively without obstacle and hesitation and to be aware of the world and to know one's place and meaning within its vastness to flow with all of creation without the need of worry desire and doubt it is the complete opposite of the satsu noad as such it can only be used by a person of pure mind compassion mercy and peace such a person must have embraced the peaceful and spiritual aspect of the art to their fullest extent just like the satsu noad it makes a person unbelievably powerful granting invincibility spiritually and physically to many attacks as well as sealing off evil power and making the user a stronger fighter Goen has practiced with this power throughout his years of training with gotetsu and after he had completed his training and left his master to begin with his own Dojo he is the only one who has used this power in battle in the games as shown by his shin form Shin can be written using different kanji characters and can mean true extend or new Ryu and Ken have awakened this power but only Ryu has mastered it as of the events of Street Fighter 5 capable of using it to render his soul incapable of consumption by niali and capable of defeating embis psycho power the psycho power is a negative psychotic and evil energy that increases the user's abilities strength and stamina psychop power feeds off the fear anger and the hatred of others this energy can also affect the Skin Body color eyes and hair of people at the ending of a shadow Falls there's an implication that Ryu had mastered the power of nothingness as the haduken used to defeat emisen gives off an AA seemingly consistent with the power Ru identifies the power of nothingness not as the power to defeat one's enemies but as the power to grow in skill completely distinct from the satu noad and Street Fighter assassins fist the power of nothingness is one of the central Concepts to the Street Fighter assassin's Fist having seen what the satui noad did to his brother and believing that there must be another way to tap into the chi needed for the anat suin Goen travels the world years later he explains to his students that during his travel a Kung Fu Master named Jen set him on the path to unlocking the power of nothingness and it is this power that Goen teaches them to tap into for their Arts completely altering the school's tradition the idea that Jen showed the path to this power to Goen as proposed by Street Fighter assassin's Fist would explain how both were able to survive akumas shung Goku Tatsu the game storyline explains that both were able to empty their soul in time emptying oneself of everything takes extreme discipline however they express disbelief that it can be done instantaneously in the middle of battle R me mentions that his chi in his State feels cool while Ken state that he feels hot in early training Ken seems to be stimulated by following a particular meditative Kata which presents more difficulty and less speed of progress than following another Kata which stimulates the satu noad but it's pure Kata is a Japanese word meaning form it refers to a detailed choreograph pattern of martial arts movements made to be practic alone it can also be reviewed within groups when training it is practiced in Japanese martial arts as a way to memorize and perfect the movements being executed in the udong comic book series Street Fighter unlimited Ryu enters a state he calls Shinu by merging the satsu noad with the power of nothingness bringing balance to his light and his dark cheek as Shinu he was able to finally defeat Kuma R's appearance in this form is mostly the same the only noticeable changes are to his left eye which glows red as well as the occasional flare of a red and blue aura the power of nothingness is the inverse of the satsu noad also known as The Surge of murderer intent or surge of killing intent sometimes translated as the dark it is a dark energy based force that is known for its use by Akuma for the people who do succeed in harnessing the satsu noad they become extremely powerful but at the cost of losing their humanity and compassion they developed a cold negative outlook in life a nihilistic Detachment from themselves as well as other people and develop an obsessive dark murderous and even suicidal desire to fight what the satsu noad is rarely gets talked about in the mainline games however it is described as taking the spirit to kill the opponent to the extreme it transforms into a physical power according to Seth in Street Fighter 4 the ties That Bind his definition of the satsu noad describes it as a power rooted in the darker natural bases of the human instinct including competition survival to trample on impose and Thrive over opposition and the manifestation of Destruction born out of conflict and fighting the satsu noad made its first debute alongside Akuma in Super Street Fighter 2 turbo during the events of Street Fighter 5 the satsu noad within Ru was being called out by the consumer of souls in martial arts the dark Hado as it appears in the street fighter universe is a form of chi what is chi how does it work Chi is the energy that is inside you and around you it is the energy that you use to breathe to eat to talk it is the energy that moves the waves in the ocean the plants to grow more than that ch is the energy that makes you and everything around you feel alive everyone manipulates their energy we see evidence of it when we breathe when we talk walk eat any action you do can be considered a small manipulation of your Chi and the chi around you however the use of this chi in our daily life is managed inefficiently for example you might use more energy on running than walking proper management of this for for needs balance and that is where martial arts training comes in in martial arts training you can train to have a better control of the use of your Chi as you might know by now Chi is the energy you use to punch kick attack and defend this can be obtained by learning different types of postures and movements of any desired style of fighting art each style of martial arts is a form of how one uses its potential without draining one's energy in other words using techniques that will require minimum energy with maximum potential an example of a technique is the breaking of a wood Plank with your palm in karate using your body's momentum to bring an opponent down and Judo you can see full-on experienced martial artists do repetitive moves like the ones mentioned without draining their energy Supply even though an experienced martial artist can get to the level of focus energy that is required it still requires that his moves and forms be influenced by other emotions emotions in fighting it's a double-edged sword if a fighter cannot control its emotions he is more bound to lose a fight than an opponent that has great balance between energy and emotions having conflicting emotions during a fight may take the fighter lose more energy on itself and its opponent that is why it is important for a fighter to fully develop a balance between both the control of their movements and their emotions fully developing this balance an experienced martial artist can then push the boundaries of its power in the street fighter Universe extensive training of your Chi can go beyond the human capabilities for example a fighter can use its own Chi to draw energy from the earth it can give the user ability to sense and absorb Chi from its surroundings use teleportation float fly and throw it in like a form of a fireball like punch AKA a hadoken this is where the the dark had comes into play to get a better understanding the dark Hado or in Japanese the satsu noad is a dark possessed surge of power that is deeply rooted into the person's Instinct of survival and in position over its opponent it is a desire to use hatred and rage to feel victory in battle the dark Hado is beneficial in tapping the most obscure power available it is also very lethal for an untrained mind to handle the capability of such power such as why the Dilemma facing Rio in which he does not want to be consumed by this type of power his training is based on the concept of meritorious intent and the power of nothingness which is not having any strong feeling towards your opponent it's based on developing oneself as a martial artist and a human being this practice focuses on emptying your mind and controlling your energy in Fight to inflict as little as damage possible to your opponent the total opposite of what the dark Hado requires for the fighters who succeed in controlling the dark Hado type of power and becoming powerful changes in their outlook on life appear loss of human empathy and compassion rise in negativity dark and obsessive nature of murderous intent under the dark Hardo influence a character's eyes will glow red and their teeth will turn into sharp fangs as the body of their skin darkens over time their hair will also turn red to White and their nails will turn into claws the voice of the character will become deeper if one Embraces it to a lesser degree their eyes will glow blue if one balances the dark Hado and the power of nothingness the character would be in complete control and balance of its power however if one has used it to their full extent for too long they cannot be released from its hold and will transform into a supernatural entity becom one with the dark Ado once a character is in this state a union between hatred and fighting technique will create an aura of Destruction leaving all human feelings of compassion and empathy behind technically becoming a demon-like figure the dark Hado character who wields this power has also the special ability to talk and speak with others telepathically gain a healing Factor manipulate the soul of an individual and can even control the weather we can understand that the dark Hado is the Ultimate Weapon in the street fighter Universe while some characters want to embrace its total power other characters like Ru tend to go a different route certainly we can see the dark Hado as a powerful weapon used on the principles of hatred and destruction but the satsu noad is just a state of mind it is a form of how powerful our mind and emotions are I see it as a the symbol of the power that lies in you that when used to its maximum effect it can produce outstanding results I think if managed in a balanced State like gotetsu one can withhold its power without being consumed by its evil force we will start this episode with a character that has deeply impacted akuma's life Goen Akuma is gokan's younger brother and Nemesis gken greatly despises him for embracing the satu noad and murdering otetsu their Sensei and Mentor because of this he does all he can to protect Rio and Ken from him to the point where he willingly fights sakuma in a battle to the death so that he won't come after them our next character was one of the most powerful assassins within the street fighter Universe gen gen saw Akuma as a skilled opponent who could finally kill him a morbid desire Amplified by his own terminal sickness however their skills often Clash giving each other challenges Akuma however backed down upon learning gen is Fally ill but would engage him again after seeing he can still fight Akuma emerges Victorious and is Amplified to have killed him for good in Street Fighter 5 in their last fight to the death in the latest issue of Akuma Goes to Hell after his encounter with the Demonic dark stalkers Akuma chooses to remain in the hellish Makai Dimension to take his training to terrifying new levels alone in a demonic landscape Akuma battles une Earthly creatures Giant monstrosities and battles and Undead form of gun he is the overlord Mastermind of the world's deadliest terrorist organization and bison Akuma despite having no direct Grudge holds major contempt towards bison the latter being an even more sick kind of evil using shortcuts to power because of this he has no problem killing him on a whim bison on the other hand wants akuma's satsu noad as a means to increase his own power his disdain for bison persists even when he becomes oning and perhaps as even greater he is a Japanese hermit who is over 140 years old and has mastered the secrets of immortality Oro is among one of the only men who have matched Akuma in combat the two have fought each other to a draw as the fight was called off due to the two fighters sensing that if they fought each other seriously it would result in a mutual kill both have earned each other's respect and contempt on a personal basis the leader of the secret society Gil upon hearing about his powers Akuma desired to Gil Akuma killed Gil with the Raging demon but left without realizing that Gil could resurrect himself this character is by far akuma's greatest rival no other than Ryu Akuma is one of ryu's most hated enemies as he was the one who tried to kill his master Goen Akuma also attempts to lure Ru into succumbing into the satsu noad therefore casting aside his humanity and hopes of finally finding a worthy opponent for the ultimate fight to the death Ryu knows this is a trap of Temptation planned by by Akuma as Rio has tried his best to find a way to get rid of the satun noad while refusing to succumb to that kind of power Akuma seizes tempting him after finally Conquering the dark power mastering his own had power in Street Fighter 5 Ken like Ryu Ken is aware of the threat Akuma possesses over Humanity Asura Asura is perhaps akuma's greatest rival after Asura defeated Ryu he then fought Akuma for over 500 years Adan because Akuma killed m Time Master that Adon was supposed to fight Adon seeks to defeat Akuma to prove himself in Street Fighter Alpha 3 Adon fights Akuma and loses to him Akuma doesn't kill him however due to him deeming a dawn worthy of death Nali Nali is an ancient spirit that seeks to devour akuma's Soul when

character with his own fleshed out episode titled the strongest versus the angriest much like R's episode it uses the Super Street Fighter for engine while shifting to the traditional battle system for the second half the story picks up after Rio's episode where Akuma suddenly appears to prevent distractions Akuma immediately executes the demon Armageddon on Ru but instead of piercing him he launches him so hard it forces Rio through a warm hole back to his original timeline when akum learns of Asura's name he reveals himself to be familiar with the diet's background as a being of Wrath and challenges him Akuma retains his move from Super Street Fighter 4 and switches Ultras between matches the Wrath of the Raging demon can be countered through a quick time event at the end of the first half he transforms into Oni at the end of the battle Asura and Akuma reverting from Oni somehow continue to fight with the fight apparently lasting for 500 years in the time skip both Fighters are still facing each other in a stand still and have turned to stone with developing Moss eventually both statues begin to move at last finally finish the fight ending in a cliffhanger in Capcom versus snk2 Akuma appears as a boss he is shown on a roof in Osaka fighting rugle if it's normal Akuma he will appear by himself wondering who emitted a great war cry Akuma then deduces that it was the player's character team and proceeds to challenge them directly when he is defeated he states that he will never give up and then says that the real Challenger has appeared at last which is none other than rugal himself and the two proceed to battle at once if he is the one speaking to rugal on the roof he states that he will remember ral's name and performs the shung Gus satsu on rugal however rugul then grabs Akuma by the chest commenting on how much the SATs noad impressed him and forcibly gives the Orochi power to Akuma before his death he will then transform into Shuma also known as godaka in this game due to the different kanji that appears on his back if defeated he is left clinging to life until black entities revive him and take him away ordering him to go on and become stronger however if rugul is the one speaking to Akuma he states that he enjoyed the satsu noad and comments that Akuma is not worthy of it deciding that it requires a new possessor he then kills Akuma outright and absorbs his satun noad to become ultimate rugal however Akuma takes possession of ral's body and as his mind isn't strong enough enough to contain his power he then disappears after ral's defeat stating he has no name and is nothing and everything if the game is cleared with Akuma the following text Scrolls though he has beaten the evil Powers Akuma isn't satisfied he is not satisfied by power energy or victories nobody can realize what Akuma Longs for as fandom States the brothers Akuma and goken were students of gotetsu gosu's martial art is a life-threatening Pursuit that incorporates diverse martial arts into its execution he also taught shun Goku satsu a lethal technique which though extremely powerful puts its practitioner in substantial danger it is said that under gosu's teachings the brothers debated the true nature and path to mastering their fighting style goken unable to accept the violent nature and the satsu noad of his fighting style left gotetsu to begin his own Dojo which gotetsu did not oppose Akuma continued gosu's teachings and vowed to use their fighting style as it was intended he relinquished all empathy to the princip of zatsu noad in order to gain knowledge of shun Goku satsu further Akuma realized his limit as a martial artist could be expanded so he left gosu's guidance of Enlightenment to train alone to gain more power in contrast to gotetsu who had been able to use the satsu noad without indulging in its dark side he developed a lust for combat as a result of embracing the satsu noad fully when Akuma came back he entered a death match with ketsu to prove his superiority the shun goketsu was used by akum to kill his master the master happy to see his students surpass him died and Akuma placed the prayer beads of his Dead Master around his neck believing he was the true Master Goen came to visit his former Master to see how he was doing only to find his lifeless body and his brother now no longer human the shock goken seeing that Akuma had killed their Master confronted him but Akuma said nothing and left for the woods Akuma confronted Goen many years later he told goken that he was not strong enough to face him without giving in to the killing intent a retort from goken accused Akuma of dishonoring his master by showing disrespect to his art which he explained was much more than death and destruction Akuma explained to his brother that ketsu did not fully comprehend the satsu noad and that he was a fool for not using it a fight ensued and goken prevailed Akuma instructed his brother to kill him but goken had no intention of murdering his own family which caused Tuma to call his brother weak for sparring the life of a power ful opponent and told him that he would return several years later it is said that Akuma returned to goken dojo and fought him using the shung goketsu Koken had somehow lost his soul during the attack and survived in Akuma but Akuma believed him dead Ken saw the flash of the attack while running to the dojo but arrived only to find Goen on the floor Akuma was in the woods when Ken confronted him and fought him when Ken was defeated Akuma disappeared in search of worthy opponents Akuma began searching the globe secluding himself in the shadow Shadows he watches small tournaments and street fights Desperately Seeking someone who might be able to match his strength he then is challenged by a man named Jen Jen fights a vicious battle even surviving the shung Goku satsu by emptying his soul in time the moment Akuma begins to wonder if this man is the worthy opponent he is searching for he senses something is a Miss akuma's suspicions are confirmed when Jen's mouth bleeds the competitor is ill making the match unfair Jen tells Akuma to kill him after being knocked to the ground as Akuma can no longer stand the battle any longer he leaves angering Jen after the battle Akuma becomes obsessed with r trying to awaken the satsu noad within him eventually Ru finds akuma's Island and challenges him while Akuma merily tested Ru Ru eventually won the battle Akuma regains composure and tells Rio to find him against once he has embraced the satsu noad before striking the ground with a powerful blow and disappearing R lies in the ocean as the island collaps around him he contemplates akuma's work as he leaves his destroyed home Akuma remembers all the fighters he had faced and wonders with anticipation if one day he will encounter someone strong enough to kill him he finds a desolate Cavern and begins to train looking forward to the day he will face Ryu again at some point he defeats and kills a mu Thai Fighter Adon sees this as a challenge and sets out to fight Akuma to fight him and prove that he is stronger in his ending he comes to the realization that worthy opponents have challenged him during his journey he decides that that he could stay on Earth to perfect his killing power knowing that they are opponents that Akuma can consider worthy while thinking about the opponents he challenged there are visions of Jen and bison and Rio on the moon he then comments that he will be the next to die while waiting for Rio to embrace the SAT noad Akuma wanders the globe in search of worthy opposition he is confronted by Adon who wishes to establish his fighting style as Supreme Akuma easily wins but instead of killing Adon he just leaves apparently deeming his defeated foe as un worthy sometime later Akuma is intercepted by guy who refuses to allow him to see andison Akuma ignores gu's please and engages him in combat the two then decide to end the fight after they realized their primary objective was the same defeating mbison he then confronts bison who tells Akuma that he won't be able to defeat him as long as the cycle Drive exists Akuma berates the dictator for not relying solely upon his fists and they fight as Akuma emerges Victorious he completely terminates by with the Raging demon causing him to suffer horribly as the attacks kill him in his ending Akuma is then challenged by Jen once more and they fight a second battle the results of which are unknown Ru rejected the satsu noad during his own battle with the shadu leader and bison declaring that a true warrior does not rely on violent intent in super Street f 2 turbo it is said that Akuma did not officially enter the second World Warrior tournament but did monitor the event that took place in hope of finding an adequate challenge he also challenged bison though whether or not bison accepted his Challenge and if the result of the fight if the former did happen is left ambiguous Akuma then is left as multiple participants engaged bison in a non-canon event he ambushed the host and bison and made short work of him with the shun Goku satsu bison is obliterated in an instant Akuma then engages in combat with the second finalist but the identity of this Warrior as well as the outcome of the bout remains unknown and both the original Super Street fter 2 turbo and its HD remake Akuma has two different endings depending on who the final opponent is if it's andison Akuma will Muse on the fact that he did not master the pyo power and let it control him if it's Shing Akuma he will reflect on his victory over his own darkness and consider death beneath him Super Street fedo 2 turbo Revival combines both endings into a whole one while ultral removes the second ending thus causing the first ending to always play regardless of if Akuma beats emisen or Shin Akuma in Street Fighter 4 sometime before the third world Warrior tournament Rio and Akuma would duel with Akuma dominating the fight as he rebukes Rio about his rejection of the dark Hado Rio finds the strength to recover and fight back however Ken would interrupt the fight forcing Akuma to leave during the events of Seth's tournament he continues his training and senses the satsu noad reemerging within Ryu immediately he sets off to find Ryu and help him realize this power so he can try to kill him in battle like other tournaments Akuma does not officially enter but stays in the shadows later he finds an unconscious real in the care of his brother goken Akuma noticed that his brother had perfected the power of nothingness the two brothers fought with Rio being the prize both survived their fight and R was saved by goken Akuma then continued his training and his search for a worthy opponent to match his own raising an entire forest with his power and Elena's ending in Ultra Street Fighter 4 she is shown to have befriended him one of her flashbacks in On's intro his Roar Echoes through the night instantly after his presence causes the explosion of a nearby tree and the death of a bird he then looks up and proclaims that he is evil incarnate in his ending he stands in the center of a volcano then he only jumps up and chops the ground with his hand resulting in an instant eruption that engulfs him in lava as the lava explodes out of the volcano only flies out of it unharmed laughing manically and yelling ferociously and Street fter five prologue muroto in akuma's story he and gen fight once again Akuma becomes victorious in the battle but was criticized by gen for leading to the path of discarding humanity he then finishes and seemingly kills gen off for good he then sees a vision of Ryu rejecting the satsu noad much to his frustration nikali appears and challenges Akuma for his soul not only did nikali lose to Akuma but he attempts to devour Akuma and Akuma does the mudoo to escape nal's stomach he then seeks Ryu and battles him in a satu no versus moken Clash Akuma defeats Rio in battle but does not kill him instead he questions if there is no one that can match him Ryu smiling while lying on the ground asks questions to Akuma claiming that his fist will continue to communicate with Akuma on opposite ends Akuma then flees letting fate determine when those two will meet again Akuma appears in Gaga character story which took place prior to encountering niali after realizing ruse's rejection from the satsui during a shadow Falls episode after Gaga went after Sagat Akuma is the said Shadow Demon's next Target to prove his former host real is nothing without him Akuma considers KAG as nothing more than a soulless silhouette of his former host just as KAG mockingly claims he kept part of him at Bay because of his beliefs in laws of Heaven A Nearly be in Akuma mocks KAG for not understanding anything aside from only strength and fighting endlessly Akuma then uses a Hoten s and geki to make gag disappear from him and wonders if gag is the path which Ryu has truly chosen in Street Fighter 3 second impact like in the Third World Warrior tournament Akuma did not enter the fourth world Warrior tournament but once again lurked in the shadows Akuma easily defeated Shawn who mistook him for Ru however he did not realize that Gil had risen from the dead when he pulled off a shung gokus satsu on him he then faces Ryu asking him to show him his full power but Ry replies that malicious intent is not the way of the warrior in this game he appears as a secret boss using the Raging demon on whoever the player is facing he battles the player afterwards if Akuma is felt the scenery will darken the ground will shake and he will get back up and unleash his true power for a second fight Akuma trained relentlessly over this period of time harnessing his power and learning several new attacks some Were Meant to create tidal waves others were described as powerful enough to split Uluru aer's Rock in half and one could kill an opp opponent with a single blow cono kongur tusang is a technique talked by Akuma himself in which he channels all his power into one hand and smashes it into the ground creating a Vortex of energy upward around him according to Legend this technique was used to destroy his original training ground The onigami Isle gendo it is also said that the same technique can cause the Earth itself to crumble beneath him and Street Fighter 3 third strike despite his Now Incredible fighting skills Akuma even fought with Boral in a simple inconclusive battle sensing each other's enormous key and testing their abilities both men were impressed by each other's power but they held some contempt for each other on a personal level the episode also reveals that Akuma is now able to remain underwater under massive pressure and even destroy the sunken remains of a modern inner ship with his tenso Ki Ching technique the shungo kusatsu meaning instant prison murder usually translated as the Raging demon is a super combo commonly seen used by its heavy practitioner Akuma it is one of the most powerful attacks throughout the franchise in the storyline the shungo kusatsu is a very powerful but dangerous technique taught in the original principles of the ansatsuken by gotetsu when performed the user of the satsu noad would hand themselves over entirely to The Killing intent launching a series of deadly strikes in a moment historically those that had used this technique had been unable to resist the potency of the satsu noad and were consumed by it their minds reduced to that of violent demon-like Berserkers such as iuu and Oni gotetsu was the only known person who could somehow use this technique without falling into the deeper aspects of the satsu noad the satsu noad sometimes translated as the dark had is a dark energy based force it is the antithesis of the power of nothingness while the executed attack is a brutal onslaught of merciless Fury the basis of the attack is said to be linked to karmic forces drawn from the influence of the satsu noad channeling an infernal punishment in which the weight of sins and evil the victim has committed attacks their soul while immensely powerful this attack cannot work on artificial life forms there is only one method known to perfectly counter this attack that some characters have survived its wrath being the power of emptiness or moo gken akuma's brother had barely survived being sent into a coma before unearthing himself after coming back to Consciousness his grasp of the power of nothingness was limited at the time and was greatly improved after his near-death experience however there are notable victims who somehow have survived this attack Gil faed shungo Gus satsu had on but because of his resurrection ability he survived the encounter as with every street fighter move created all of them might have been inspired either by another anime or Manga this move in particular is not the exception the concept of shungu satsu and satsu noad itself seems also heavily inspired by the concept of Moki NOAA from the Fist of the North Star Mangus series furthermore the attack seems specifically inspired by the star technique called hokuto Manu wangang North Star thousand hand demon sound fist the technique involves countless strikes in the blink of an eye and is fued by the user's evil fighting Aura making the shungu satsu share many similarities with it this is the version that is used in the manga Street Fighter 3 Ru final where Akuma shungu satsu is visually identical to mju maong King in addition the appearance of the heaven ganji characteristically associated with its user Akuma and how the move style is that of assassination is likely a reference to the Japanese word denu meaning Heavenly retribution which was a popular momento written on paper by assassins to their victims and Associates in feudal and turbulent eras of Japan this move while it looks cool also serves as a great fighting tactic in earlier installments the shungo kusatsu usually can be combined into a standing jab or a standing Roundhouse as well as cancelling a slower move in order to take advantage of the opponent being hit stunned long enough from the prior attacks but only if the inputs were done fast enough like most high-powered moves in Street Fighter 4 Focus attacks can also provide an opening despite its power however characters can escape with longer range moves due to the actual grab being close range it can also be countered with as little as a quick jab or punished with a retreating jump attack its first animated appearance was in the episode the world greatest Warrior Akuma used this move on goken after he was inquired by him on why he decided to make a return after so long Akuma replies by stating that he has learned the ultimate move of their art in which goken says not the Raging demon to which Akuma stands ups and replies yes and uses it on goken at Point Blank Range later during Ken's battle with Akuma Akuma threatens to use the shunga kusatsu on Ken himself but is started before he can pull it off the move makes his first cinematic appearance Street Fighter assassin's Fist when Akuma uses it to kill his master gotetsu as the ladder charges up an extremely powerful metsu haduken Akuma engulfs himself in a mass of red Flames zooming at high speed towards gotetsu and passing through the haduken little of the move is seen though as gotetsu is grabbed a bright flash can be seen right before the shot changes and a harrowing scream can be heard echoing along with a familiar Screech as Akuma stands over his Fallen Master the Kani for Heaven can be seen not only burning bright on his back but also in the thundery clouds above a Street Fighter 5 revealed that the attack consists of a series of teleport punches that start out slow but get progressively faster as the attack goes on and targets vital weak spots of the body which brutally or even fatally injures the opponent having mastered the original form of the unnamed shakotan art akuma's fighting style is based on the same vein as the all-around characters with a much more offense Orient to design akuma's overall style focuses on completely dominating the opponent and preventing counterattacks his mix of raw attack power combined with moves that can control the air and keep him mobile allow him to maintain a fierce Onslaught offensive that can end matches quickly however Akuma power is offset by very low stamina and stun meaning that any whiffed attack or defensive opening could irreversibly tip the scales against him and leave to a massive punishment as a result heavy investment on the player's part is required to properly utilize his full potential as a computer-controlled boss Akuma is even more powerful faster and more durable in comparison usually only appearing as a final or hidden boss this reflects his personality as Akuma often holds back his power so as to give his opponents a Fighting Chance when fought as a secret boss Akuma effectively deems the player's character worthy and Powers up accordingly in order to face him you have to either obtain a high score reach the last stage quickly or defeat beat many human opponents without losing a single Credit Now with akuma's Basics Akuma has better projectiles than the rest of the cast goes through other characters projectiles with his tatos and teleports controls distance better with his air haduken due to invulnerable tatos and never dizzies it looks like he gets dizzy but Akuma recovers instantly effectively saving him from longer Combos and juggles but still leaves him vulnerable to Mees on wake up Akuma basically has all options selects from the old shotos plus other advantages from the cp1 Ryu and the incapable projectile traps with air haduken and fierce shank kunsu haduken his strengths high priority normals and most are fast to come out great zoning game with two good ground Fireballs that can knock down as well as an air Fireball that basically all the cast have no answers for can easily escape from corner traps or bad situations with teleport high damage Combos and specials juggles well inescapable Corner trap on some characters two good defensive reverse and srk and satsu can play well offensively or defensively also has good combo ability when dizzy he recovers instantly so he will still fall for a dizzy and he's vulnerable to a m on waking up in his dizzy state but that's it as for akuma's weaknesses below average rain on normal has no super and is banned from basically everything balance issues in super Street fter 2 turbo Akuma is Bann in US tournaments and soft band for example not used on Principle as opposed to to being officially unusable in Japanese tournaments this is a result of the fact that Akuma was initially designed to be extremely powerful such powerful is potentially reflected in his lack of a super combo at that point turbo HD Remix attempted to make this effect an auma more playable by lowering his stamina giving the Sanu haduken a blowback effect and adding a much weaker shung Goku satsu as his super combo despite these efforts Akuma has remained banned in the HD Remix for the large majority of tournaments as the changes made to this character did not offset his overreaching power compared to the rest of the cast and in some cases made it worse due to the Steep angle of the Sanu haduken inherited from his later appearances it is possible to perform crossup combos that could not be done originally and with the blowback effect he can gain extra air time to avoid a projectile the opponent throws at him in addition due to a bug and the move speed the Raging demon cannot be interrupted at close range making it near nearly impossible to avoid when cornered in the original Super Street Fighter 2 turbo Akuma had four different win quotes the most out of all of the other characters also when he is about to be fought his music is already playing and he introduces himself to the player character in hyper Street Fighter 2 a bit of mbison themes plays and then akuma's theme plays when he appears and then the fight begins from there as if to create a surprise to the players why akuma's win quotes were removed from the overseas versions is unknown known in the CPS 2 Street for the 2 games it is highly implied Akuma is the ancient one and bison was referring to in his ending it is rather odd that Akuma would be the Ancient [Music] One [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
