important key points of their involvement with the street fighter series we will also describe the relationship between real and them without further Ado let me welcome you to the fighter [Music] verse the official backstory of Akuma reveals that both brothers were students of gotetsu a practitioner of the violent Arts whose origin stem from Japan's feudal era known as one of the only people capable of using the satsu noad without falling into its steeper aspects ketsu was a master of martial arts of Goen and Akuma ketsu was skilled in both anat suin and bojutsu and possessed a secret arsenal of techniques he had kept hidden away from his students Goen and Akuma learned from gosu's techniques their fighting styles and methods gradually diverged as the two brothers developed different fighting styles the morokuma Embraced and mastered the killing and dart aspects of the art the more he succumbed into the satu noad OR The Surge of murderous intent and wanted to fully utilize it to gain more power and influence goken in contrast developed his own style of the art removing the satu noad Turning weapons such as the hadoken and shuken into tools for self-defense eliminating their killing potential as a result of succumbing into the satsu noad akumu battled and killed gotetsu were failing to embrace the satsu noad to its full full extent he also left behind his master dojo and brother to train alone for even greater gains prior to goet to's death Goen found an adopted Ry an abandoned orphan Dan hiiki would later become gokan's first student nevertheless goken discovered from Dan that he wanted to learn this martial art for revenge and rejected him for his intentions fearing that his grudges would lead him on a dark path later a young man Ken Masters was sent by his father a good friend of goken to study humility respect and discipline his father a rich Hotel Tycoon owner thought that his son needed to learn about discipline or his son would become a spoiled brat all of his life and tried to leech onto the masters's family fortune Akuma appeared at gokan's Dojo after goken had begun to train the boys goken was challenged to a fight by Akuma while goken had silly defeated Akuma the brother spared him even after Akuma insisted he should be killed after akuma's arrival and departure Goen continued to train the two boys over the years gokan's student grew as individuals and his two students graduated from his tutelage becoming proficient enough to leave the dojo and travel the world to acquire new skills and become better afterwards Akuma reappeared at gokan's dojo and challenged his brother to a rematch Akuma emerged Victorious with aun Goku satsu allegedly killing Goen in the ACT despite this Goen was only left in a deep common due to a similar technique Jen uses which emptied his soul of emotions due to his lengthy period of unconsciousness Ryu and Ken believed their Master had died and buried his body in Street Fighter 4 when goken awakens 2 years later he leaves his dojo and follow his students delighted by their achievements in order to test their strength he decided to enter the new sinin tournament rather than just watch them following Seth's defeat goken successfully finds Rio and seals the satsu noad so Rio never has to suffer with the power again after Goen had completed his task Akuma appeared soiled with bitterness Akuma convinced himself he would no longer be able to fight real Akuma realizes that the power Goen used to seal it was the power of nothingness the power of nothingness is a state of consciousness transcending ordinary perspective born through spiritual and mental refinement bearing common traits with state of being within 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 hesit ation 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 the brothers then face off in another rematch with r's fate at stake and Jen watching the fight in amazement the exact outcome of the fight is unknown though it is known that both survive and that Rio does not go to Akuma so it could possibly be implied that Goen may have won Ryu and Ken ask goken to stay with them a while but Goen tells them that they are both grown men and no longer need a master Goen and akuma's rivalry is just based on the principles of martial art should or should not be used each of their paths represent a symbolic significance to our daily lives we have two choices to make either we ask people learn how to manage ourselves in a positive manner or we have the option to totally be consumed by the dark aspects of what surrounds Humanity the power of nothingness is also known as the m noin in Japanese it is also known as the kosu no meaning surge of mindless intent or the sacred had it is a light based energy force used by gken R and to a certain extent Ken Masters 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 satu 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 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 goken 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 Shen form Shen 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 emisen psycho power the psychop power is a negative psychotic and evil energy that increases the user's abilities strength and stamina psycho 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 satsu noad in Street Fighter assassin's Fist the power of nothingness is one of the central Concepts to the Street Fighter assassin's Fist having seen what the satu noad did to his brother and believing that there must be another way to tap into the chi needed for the anat 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 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 Akuma 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 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 Gata which presents more difficulty and less speed of progress than following another Gata 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 practiced 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 Akuma 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 murderous intent or surge of killing intent sometimes trans translated as the dark had it is a dark energy based force that is known for its use by Akuma for the people who do succeed in harnessing the satu noad they become extremely powerful but at the cost of losing their humanity and compassion they develop the 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 debut alongside Akuma in Super Street Fighter 2 turbo during the events of Street Fighter 5 the satsu noad within Ryu 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 Chi 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 in efficiently for example you might use more energy on running than walking proper management of this Force 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 fullon 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 and 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 fight 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 dark had comes into play to get a better understanding the dark had 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 the desire to use hatred and rage to feel victory in battle the dark Hado is benef icial in tapping the most obscure power available it is also very lethal for an untrained mind to handle the capabilities 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 ice 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 EX extent for too long they cannot be released from its hold and will transform into a supernatural entity becoming one with the dark hedo 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 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 in this episode we have discussed the essence in martial arts of the original of the dark had translated in Chi and how its power is born by the energy in you and around you we also discuss the power and abilities that this Force brings to the street fighter universe and the physical and mental changes of the dark Hado without proper management the dark Hado can make a character lose its sanity we have also run down the pros and cons of its existence [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
