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 Okuma killed Muay Thai master that Adan was supposed to fight Adan seeks to defeat Akuma to prove himself and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Adan fights Akuma and loses to him Akuma doesn't kill him however due to

attempts to kill both Akuma and kasuya by blowing up the tower with a satellite laser both are revealed to have survived however with Akuma returning to try and finish kasuya off after a kazuya's victory against hayachi in a post-story bonus chapter upon seeing him kasuya transformed into his devil again and Akuma Answers by becoming Shin Akuma the fight ends in a cut scene where both fire their respective projectiles at each other the outcome of the battle is left undecided as the volcano bursts with lava though dialogue after the scene implies kasuya to still be alive and a threat to the world hayachi mishiyama kasum is his husband who has caused many problems with his ambition Akuma is also instructed by gosumi to destroy hayachi fought alongside one another momentarily against kasuyu's Jack sixes Akuma reveals that he waited for hayachi to establish his own strength before engaging him one of many instances of his moral code being followed hayachi proved to be a challenge for Akuma but he ultimately defeated him as he blew up the Mishima Dojo later it is revealed that hayachi actually survived buried under his own dojo this allowed him to fake his death and reveal kasuya's devil form to the world he attempted to kill both casuya and aguma by targeting g-corporation's Millennium Tower with a satellite laser despite successfully destroying the tower both kasuya and Akuma are revealed to have survived the blast gazuya used his devil blaster on saibatsu's satellite prompting hayachi to vindictively tell their family story from his perspective before the two

boundaries of his power and the boundaries in his traditional appearances in Street Fighter 2 the animated movie even though in this movie is more surrounded by the main protagonist Ryu and Ken and the main antagonist and bison Akuma has managed to be in the backgrounds of the cities of Calcutta sitting in front of a wall most likely as a spectator to the fight dalsum and Honda had an animated Street Fighter 2v series he has also seen multiple times on different places and occasions Akuma also appears in the arcade versions of Street Fighter the movie as a regular character he also appears in the console versions of Street Fighter the movie as a secret boss who can be selected via a cheat code and South Park imagination Land episode 2 Butters wakes up to find his mother and father at his bedside having cooked him breakfast Butters explains about his weird dream of imagination land only to find out that he was only hallucinating with his eyes closed he wakes up in imagination land having passed out and wet himself and become sad that his parents are never gentle to him the evil side of imagination land breaks through the barrier and charges at the residence of the good side the terrorists Proclaim Allah but are killed in seconds by one of the creatures the mayor of Imaginationland is then badly injured by alien and butters is pursued by predator and Stormtroopers in the background we see a glimpse of Akuma as he is gathered with the other evil side members as they are having a discussion of who is the evilest of all Akuma has also appeared in other gaming franchises as well Akuma along with Ryu both made appearances in Capcom and cyber connect 2's collaborative beat em up title Asura's Wrath Akuma appears as a DLC only character with his own fleshed out episode titled the strongest versus the angriest much like rios's episode it uses the Super Street Fighter 4 engine while shifting to the traditional battle system for the second half the story picks up after ryu's episode where Akuma suddenly appears to prevent and distractions Akuma immediately executes the demon Armageddon unreal but instead of piercing him he launches him so hard it forces Ryu through a wormhole back to his original timeline when Akuma learns of Asura's name he reveals himself to be familiar with the deities 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 akumo reverting from Oni somehow continued to fight with the fight apparently lasting for 500 years and the time skip both Fighters are still facing each other and a standstill and have turned to stone with developing Moss eventually both statues began to move at last finally finish the fight ending in a cliffhanger in Capcom vs SNK 2 Akuma appears as a boss he is shown on a roof in Osaka fighting rugel if it's normal Okuma he will appear by himself wondering who emitted a great war cry Okuma 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 a real Challenger has appeared at last which is none other than rugel himself and the two proceed to battle at once if he is the one speaking to ruble on the roof he states that he will remember rugel's name and performs the shunga kusatsu on Google however rugel then grabs Akuma by the chest commenting on how much the satsunu hadu impressed him and forcibly gives the Orochi power to Akuma before his death he will then transform into shinaguma also known as garakuma 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 Roku is the one speaking to Akuma he states that he enjoyed the satsunohado and comments that Akuma is not worthy of it deciding that it requires a new possessor he then kills Akuma outright and absorbs his satsunohado to become ultimate Ruble however Akuma takes possession of ruble's body and as his mind isn't strong enough to contain his power he then disappears after rugel's defeat stating he has no name and is nothing and everything if the game is cleared with the kuma 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 gotetsu's martial art is a life-threatening Pursuit that incorporates diverse martial arts into its execution he also taught shun Goku satsu a little technique which though extremely powerful puts its practitioner in substantial danger it is said that under godetsu's teachings the brothers debated the true nature and path to mastering their fighting style goken unable to accept the violent nature and the satsuino Hado of his fighting style left cool tetsu to begin his own Dojo which guldetsu did not oppose Akuma continued gotetsu's teachings and vowed to use their fighting style as it was intended he relinquished all empathy to the principle of satsuino Hado in order to gain knowledge of shun Goku satsu further Akuma realized his limit as a martial artist could be expanded so he left kotetsu's guidance of Enlightenment to train alone to gain more power in contrast to godzetsu who had been able to use the satsuino Hado without indulging in its dark side he developed a loss for combat as a result of embracing the satsu no Hado fully when Akuma came back he entered a death match with kotetsu to prove his superiority the shun Goku satsu was used by Akuma to kill his master the master happy to see his students surpass him died and Akuma plays the prayer beads of his Dead Master around his neck believing he was a true master goken 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 saying that Akuma had killed their Master confronted him but Akuma said nothing and left for the woods Akuma confronted goken 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 godetsu did not fully comprehend the satsunohado 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 Tacoma to call his brother weak for sparring the life of a powerful opponent and told him that he would return several years later it is said that Akuma returned to gokan's dojo and fought him using the shunggokusatsu Koken had somehow lost his soul during the attack and survived in a puma but Akuma believed him dead Ken saw the flash of the attack while running to the dojo but arrived only to find goken on the floor Akuma was in the woods when Ken confronted him and fought him when Ken was defeated Akuma disappeared in search of War their opponents Akuma began searching the globe secluding himself in the 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 a worthy opponent he is searching for he senses something is amiss 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 Ryu trying to awaken the satsui nohado within him eventually real finds akuma's Island and challenges him while Kuma merely tested Ryu Ryu eventually won the battle Akuma regains composure and tells real to find him against once he has embraced the satsuino Hado before striking the ground with a powerful blow and disappearing Real Lies in the ocean as the island collapsed around him he contemplates akuma's words 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 Muay Thai Fighter Adon sees this as a challenge and sets out to find 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 he could stay on Earth to perfect his killing power knowing that there are opponents that Akuma can consider worthy while thinking about the opponents he challenged there are visions of Jen and bison and Ryu on the moon he then comments that he will be the next to die while waiting for Rio to embrace the satsuino Hado akumo wanders the globe in search of worthy opposition he is confronted by Adan who wishes to establish his fighting style as Supreme Okuma easily wins but instead of killing a dawn he just leaves apparently deeming his defeated foe as unworthy some time later akumas intercepted by guy who refuses to allow him to see and bison and Kuma ignores guys as pleas and engages him in combat the two then decide to end the fight after they realized their primary objective was the same defeating M bison 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 bison with the Raging demon causing him to suffer horribly as the attacks kill him in his ending Akuma is then challenged by gen once more and they fight a second battle the results of which are known real rejected the satsu no Hado during his own battle with the shadowlune leader in bison declaring that a true warrior does not rely on violent intent and Super Street Fighter 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 photo 2 turbo and its HD remake Akuma has two different endings depending on who the final opponent is if it's M bison Akuma will Muse on the fact that he did not master the psycho power and let it control him if it's Shin Akuma he will reflect on his victory over his own darkness and and considered death beneath him Super Street photo 2 turbo Revival combines both endings into a whole one while Ultra removes the second ending thus causing the first ending to always play regardless of if Akuma beats and bison or Shin akum in Street Fighter 4 some time before the third world Warrior tournament Ryu and Akuma would duel with Akuma dominating the fight as he rebukes Ryo about his rejection of the dark Hado real 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 satsunohado re-emerging 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 reel in the care of his brother goken Akuma noticed that his brother had perfected the power of nothingness the two brothers fought with real being the prize both survived their fight and Ryu was saved by Gogan Akuma then continued his training and his search for a worthy opponent to match his own raising an entire force with his power and Elena's ending an Ultra Street Fighter 4 she is shown to have befriended him in one of her flashbacks and anise'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 and 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 Fighter 5 prologue murotensho in akuma's story he and gen fight once again Akuma becomes victorious in the battle but was criticized by again 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 satsun Ohio much to his frustration nikali appears and challenges Akuma for her soul not only did nekali lose to Akuma but he attempts to devour Akuma and Akuma does the muroten show to escape nikali's stomach he then seeks Ryu and battles him and asatsunohado vs munok and Clash Akuma defeats real 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 fists will continue to communicate with the kuma on opposite ends Akuma then flees letting fate determine when those two will meet again Akuma appears in Gaga's character story which took place prior to encountering nikali after realizing ruse's rejection from the satsui during a shadow Falls episode after kagu went after Sagat Akuma is the said Shadow Demon's next Target to prove his former host real is nothing without him Akuma considers kage as nothing more than a soulless silhouette of his former host Justice kage mockingly claims he kept part of him at Bay because of his beliefs and walls of heaven but nearly be in Akuma mocks kage for not understanding anything aside from only strength and fighting endlessly Akuma then uses a Hoten sakengeki to make kage disappear from him and wonders if kage 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 Sean who mistook him for Ryu however he did not realize that gill had risen from the dead when he pulled off a shun Goku satsu on him he then faces Ryu asking him to show him his full power but real 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 fine 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 Ayers Rock in half and one could kill an opponent with a single blow Congo konguretusang 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 guento 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 thekuma even fought with Oro and 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 ownership with essential kareke Jing technique the most destructive character in the street fighter Universe first made his debut on Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo hyper fighting in 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 handle 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 Congo regishi two raffle 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 guards the Gate of the Buddhist temple is called nishaku Congo 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 nadian gongo this statue symbolizes strength it can wield a sword or it can be bare-handed one of its characteristics is that the statue has its mouth closed demonstrating Serenity and Power the new status is 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 Fierce 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 shungokusatsu also known as The Wrath of the Raging demon the Wrath of the Raging demon is a very powerful technique taught in the assassination's Arts with any martial art developed with the intention of destroying an opponent this type of technique was taught by akuma's trainer gotetsu this technique when performed while wielding the dark Hado power will be submerged and 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 Hado and eventually became consumed by its power becoming a violent demonic being like for example Oni akuma's Evolution formed when he becomes one of the dark Hado the only character who could resist this technique without giving in was akuma's trainer gotetsu the interesting aspect of the wrath of a raging demon is that its technique is based on karmic forces tame from the dark huddle 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 onakuma'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 Ten 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 in mortality at the rate of power meaning that when the character 10 appears on its back it's representing immortality an old Japanese folklore whenever they conjure 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 guide 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 indeed a 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 [Music] he is also indeed a human and needs to feed himself from time to time but what does a character like Akuma prequel film made by a Capcom approved fan called Street Fighter assassin's Fist we can dwelve inside a coma's training regimen when he is exiled from his trainer's dojo we can see in this short how Akuma uses his hadoken technique to Fish by the lake by hurling hadoukens to the lake he can pick up the unconscious fish that floats on the top making it an easy meal for Akuma hadukan's fishing at its finest now thinking about all the power Kuma expels out of his body I personally think a couple of fish would not replenish his power in 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 intriguing Mysteries a powerful god-like being and which is only objective is to be the strongest in the world achieve superhuman strength power and status and to Reign 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 we have shown the other side of the mysterious character from the street fighter verse in this video we have learned some of okuma's most notorious dark secrets from its character design Origins to the power of the Wrath of the Raging demon and how it can be lethal with its murder intense we have described the meaning behind akuma's Red fiery kanji symbol on the back of his Sky and even found out how he managed to feed himself by using the hadukan fishing technique let us analyze akuma's backstories where he may have been seen as one evil person one of the most popular stories in his encounter with his former master kodetsu in which he died by the hands of the kuma goldetsu was the martial arts master of goken and his brother Akuma and was also a user of the satsi nohado 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 is also how its two students were introduced to its power the satsunohado being The Surge of the murderous intent sometimes translated as the dark haddle is a dark energy-based force prior to the events shown in the street fighter games kodetsu was challenged and killed by Akuma at his full potential who performed the shun Goku satsu on his soul in a fighting to the death godzetsu gladly died and accepted to see that his students surpassed him in the art the prayer beats that Akuma wears originally belonged to gotetsu the act alone might have been seen as evil but as a warrior godzu accepted the challenge to fight his former student understanding the consequences another instance of how my Akuma been seen as evil was with the battle between him and his older brother goken goken is master of Ryu and Ken after gokan began to train Ryu and Ken Akuma made a sudden appearance at gokan's Dojo there a coma challenged gokuan to a fight Akuma was soundly defeated by his brother but gokan spared his life even after akuma's insistence that goken should kill him after akuma's arrival and departure goken continued with Ryu and Ken's training As Time passed Ryu and Ken had graduated from goken's training leaving the dojo ready to further continue their training and studies afterwards akumar reappeared at gogan's dojo and challenged his brother to a rematch this time Akuma ended up as the Victor supposedly killing him with the shun Goku satsu however because goken used the monugan which translated is the power of nothingness a technique that emptied his soul of emotions he was merely left in a deep coma because he was unconscious for an extended period Ryu and Ken believe their Master to be dead Ryu more than Ken went and sought out Fentons towards Akuma we can see how Akuma asked for death accepting the fact that goken at that time was stronger than him goken was challenged and accepted the challenge just like goketsu regarding its outcome managed to survive his attack the Skull Kid not being killed Ryu and Ken see Akuma as an evil being for what he did to his master but it's just part of being a warrior taking in the winds with the losses fighter lives with a different kind of code and guideline in which they base their life on which brings us to our next Point Akuma lives by a set of ethics and rules as a fighter Akuma lives by the code of the warrior the Warrior's code is a code of conduct that defines what Warriors can and cannot do if they wish to continue to be regarded as Warriors Akuma adheres to the code of warrior which dictates that the fighter must not seek to harm the weak Akuma will only battle those he deems strong enough and he very rarely resorts to using true strength as this would make for an unfair fight Akuma abides by the code of the warrior he fights to improve his skills and defeat powerful foes though on rare occasion he does so to gauge the other's abilities although he killed his teacher and believed that he did the same with his brother goken Akuma did so in combat which as stated before it does not break the wargus code guideline in combat Akuma almost never resorts to his true strength especially if testing another fighter he only fights Warriors that he deems worthy for the one he believes have the potential to become such during the events of Street Fighter Alpha 2 Akuma fought Ryu only to gain Insight on ryu's abilities while in third strike he faced Oro in order to test his own strength Akuma usually prefers an even pouch as he backed out of a duel with Jen once he found that Jen was fatally ill it's not uncommon for him to deliver a lethal sneak attack to an unprepared opponent particularly if there are less than honorable he will only fight if the fighter is up to his level or higher even though he is the master of the satsunohado he still knows when and how to use his power very ethical if you ask me which brings me to my other point his raging demon attacked the shun Goku satsu the shun Goku satsu attack is the most feared attack in akuma's Repertory the Raging demon attack consists in Akuma Gathering energies from his satsu nohado and in a matter of seconds everything turns black as he Glides towards its opponent and delivers a barrage of combos leaving the opponent defeated the odd thing about akuma's raging demon attack is that the damage it creates it's not made by akuma's strength rather this technique it's based on the evilness of the opponent according to Street Fighter lore the Raging demon is karmic in nature with the move channeling punishment based on the weight of the sins that dwell within the soul of the individual being attacked another reason you can say that he is evil is that he uses a technique that punishes a person based on the evil thing that person has done in a way you can say that he is the opposite of evil as stated by the definition of evil which is immoral and wicked I do not find Akuma neither of those I find that Akuma is a misunderstood character in the street fighter series that is what makes Akuma one of the most illest characters on the franchise he is neither evil or good Akuma is just Street Fighter's Ultimate Warrior in order to start answering the question izakumarios's father we first have to dig into his early story in his early years Akuma and his brother goken were students of a master martial artist named gotetsu kodetsu had trained them under his dojo teaching him his martial arts skills these martial arts skills composed elements of Judo Gamble and karate in his training while under his wing godetsu took care of his niece named sayaka which shared the same living quarters as Akuma and Goku sayaka had a timid stance and was a sympathetic human being she helped with the Endeavors of her uncle and his students Goki and Goku she encouraged the brothers to pursue diverse interest in Hobbies like photography and English as a side of their training she has even teached them calligraphy in their free time from training it is noted that sayaga had particular feelings towards Goki in the movie Street Fighter assassin's Fist we see a glimpse of the relationship between Goki and sayaka foreign [Music] this scene shows another set of Goki a more loving and compassionate side now a while after the calligraphy class Goku leaves abruptly riding mitsu in his paper Matsu and translation means destruction signifying to both sayaka and Goku the secrets of the satsunohado delft into goki's core greatly progressing and consuming his being during a training fight between Goku and Goki that Goki losts Goki lost his temper and tried to kill Goku goken reversed his attacks and was about to kill him with a hadoken if it hadn't been for sayaka who stood in the way making goken cease charging the projectile shortly afterwards while Goki is being scolded by gotetsu sayaka tries to intervene but goken prevents her as a result she goes to gokis's room to wait for him after goken is called in Goki is told by godzetsu to pack his belongings and leave the dojo sayaka attempts to convince him to stay saying that she will talk to her uncle about changing his mind but Goku refuses he recognizes that sayaka is attracted to him but tells her that he must pursue his training in the ways of the satsu no Hado Above All Else he kisses her goodbye saddened she stays in the room after he leaves it and is soon found by Culkin who she is angry at for not defending his brother when Goku begins leaving the dojo grounds sayaka runs to catch up with him to give him a basket of food for his journey and a piece of paper with the kanji symbol Heaven written upon it symbolizing his quest for Immortal Glory this is the infamous kanji simple that glows in the back of Akuma after his raging demon attack is Unleashed a year passes and sayaka Longs for goki's return but goldetsu noticed this and tells her to stop her infatuation as it is hindering goken's training after goldetsu dies at akuma's hands sayaka finds little reason to stay at the dojo and departs in the night leaving gokin and senzo she isn't seen again as time passes is by a small child is left in front of goken's Dojo goken adopted it and trained at the young kid Ryu and the street fighter generations and as stated by fandom sayaka is first seen tending to goki's wounds after he loses a fight to goken later on sayaka hears Goki and godzetsu arguing about the use of the satsunohado after Goku leaves the room sayaka fails to persuade Goki to consider gotetsu's warnings and begins to worry about him when he appears to be in pain due to abusing the satsunohado Goku becomes Akuma and fights goldetsu sayaga being aware of this turns to goken for help sayaka is unable to keep up with Koken as she is nauseous and then vomits due to it this is all but stated to be morning sickness giving a subtle hint that indeed sayaka was pregnant and which most likely she was bearing akuma's child could Ryobi sayagas's Son Well if we follow the chain of events and tie the life of sayaga and Goki before his encounter with the satsu nohado this might tell us that yes Ryu could be their son they share many common choices sayaka's temperament is very much like ryu's timid and sympathetic nature calligraphy is most present in Rio's stage science and also in part of his clothing out of all of the places in the world that a kid could have gone to he end up in gogan's Dojo due to the Street Fighter Alpha generations and Street Fighter assassin's Fist movies It is believed by some that akuma's rules his father however these movies as well as other Street Fighter movies are non-canon to the series which takes away the validity of the process despite the fact that some say that it is not canon we like the idea since it makes sense that Akuma would be ryuz's father the satsui nohado was not something real actually had to train for not that he wanted to but we believe Ryu was born with the power that lay Dorman since he was an infant his mother sayaka she was in a relationship with Goki in both the animated adaptation and live action version of the Street Fighter after many conflicts Goki challenge and killed his master called zetsu leaving sayaga and goken to grieve as he sank Into Darkness over time sayaka departs goken while pregnant with evidentially her child real we are amazed that Capcom hasn't covered it more having no idea who he is a pure demon trying to get through the power of the sun and the warrior seeking to overcome that power and defeat his father who killed his master Uncle who might have been trying to prevent Ryu from learning the truth about his past it is said that officially Kuma's reals his adoptive Uncle it may be an official saying but there are so many variants as to why Rio is akuma's legitimate son but then again if it's in the books that way I guess we have to go with the Creator's decision as to where the real origin of Real Lies Akuma first appeared in X-Men Children of the atom as a secret guest character he is also a playable character for most of the different versions as well as in Marvel vs Capcom clash of superheroes and his story as stated by fandom and X-Men Children of the atom Akuma says to Magneto in the end I am the master Warrior the credits show a bunch of X-Men characters in a dizzy motion and after the credits Akuma does a taunt and Marvel Superheroes Akuma makes a very small Cameo and one of Anita's moves flame sword an X-Men vs Street Fighter Akuma is standing on top of a Japanese Temple Wolverine asks akumo what he knows about his past he says to Wolverine want to talk force me after that they start to fight each other and Marvel superheroes vs Street Fighter Akuma has another form who served as a final boss he also appears alongside dark Sakura when you fight her after reaching certain conditions and in dark Sakura's ending in the Japanese version of this game we will go go deeper on Cyber Akuma later on the video in Marvel vs Capcom 3 Fate of Two Worlds Akuma notes that no one else is left to rival him on Earth and prepares to Journey Through the Galaxy to find a worthy Challenger leaving behind the bodies of real Wolverine Captain America Chun-Li and Spider-Man this mimics his ending in SNK vs Capcom SVC chaos where After he finds out no one is left to rival him on Earth he goes back to heaven to challenge Athena's master and Marvel vs Capcom infinite although Akuma does not make an appearance in the game the satsuno Hado plays a part in the story Ryu seems to use little bits of it to fight against the Maverick infected Darren Morin alongside Hulk and the Monster Hunter when Jeddah invades Avengers Tower to destroy the base along with other Heroes and Thanos inside real begins to succumb to the satsunohado catching Tano's interest in that dark power Thanos then interferes and stops Jetta from using the Soul Stone to weaken ryu's human soul and turn him into evil real effectively removing a burden Ryu has had for a long time at the end of the games after credit scene the sets to know how to gains a significant boost in a role as Thanos stole the energy of the satsuno Hado inside Ryu and claims that at its full capacity and potential it can and has destroyed a god which he then tries to use to destroy death and Jeddah after death betrays him at some point in the story due to the Cliffhanger nature of the ending and how the game is made plus the several nods to reel almost succumbing to it Akuma is likely to make an appearance due to him being the current physical manifestation of the satsui no Hado in his gameplay while some people often refer to Akuma as a shotokun characters who fight identically or similar to Ryu by utilizing his attacks usually possessing a projectile and anti-air special with a physical distance coverage optional he has more than enough moves to distinguish himself from his lighter counterpart utilizing a very different playstyle back in his earlier appearances Akuma slash Goki simply had his moves as a combination of both Ryu and Ken's his low Health story wise is shown to be a Kuma holding back his true power in order to enjoy his fights most of his recent versions are often balanced though some game breaking tools still tend to exist and the street fighter udon Comics cyber Akuma appears in the backup story of Street Fighter unlimited number 10 where he battles Kent alongside other non-canon characters maxif and zero Akuma the story's ending reveals that the whole thing was actually an unreleased video game inspired by Street Fighter 2010 being played by Mel Masters while Ken and Eliza watched another version of Okuma is cyber Akuma mechanically enhanced by apocalypse cyber akumas'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 in Marvel Superheroes versus Street Fighter as the final boss because of apocalypse's control over him cyber akumas's personality is vastly different from that of the original akumas being more surreal this is the mecca version of Okuma called zero Akuma zero Kuma is an extremely powerful Mech based on Akuma featured in the game cyberbot's full metal Madness it featured a unique play style similar to Street Fighters as Akuma as well as a unique life bar design zero akumas's powers and abilities are flight weapon Mastery energy manipulation and energy projection martial arts forcefield creation and explosion manipulation let's start today's episode with the most known version of Akuma 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 knot sharp pointed teeth and is often barefooted though 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 a Kuma fought real in Street Fighter Alpha 2 just to gain insight into ryu's abilities Shin Akuma known in Japan as Shin Goki appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2 as a hidden boss this is the form Akuma takes when he becomes almost one with the satsui nohado 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 shinakuma is faster deals more damage and can throw two sanku hadokins at once his special moves also tend to have more priority and Recovery compared to the playable version also his shin Goku satsu is much faster and travels farther making it harder to evade and in some ends instances and flicks 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 cross-up 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 translates to ogre is Akuma in his strongest form this is the form Akuma takes when he has become one with the satsunohado 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 satsun Ohio allowing him to control his actions as Oni he finally becomes one with the satsuino Hado whose power has now managed to completely overtake him Oni appears as a far more muscular and notice possibly larger version of Okuma he has dark blue skin glowing yellow red eyes and glowing spiky shoulder length hair fangs and short protrusions on his forehead resembling growing horns the top half of his G has been blown off by the amount of dark Chi he emanates showing off his musculature the prayer beats that were once around his neck now float about disconnected around his body having reached the full extent of the satsui no Hado 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 and bodying that of a terrible destructive force beyond control the satsunohado also enables him to perform powerful energy attacks as well another version of Akuma is cyber Akuma mechanically enhanced by apocalypse cyber akumas'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 akumas's personality is vastly different from that of the original akumas being more surreal this is the mecca version of Akuma called zero Akuma zero Kuma is an extremely powerful Mech based on Akuma featured in the game cyberbot's full metal Madness it featured a unique play style similar to Street Fighter suzukuma as well as a unique life bar design zero akumas's powers and abilities are flight weapon Mastery energy manipulation and energy projection martial arts force field creation and explosion manipulation akuma's Legacy to push the boundaries of inner power and display it in the battle arena is what makes this character
