Akuma isn't so bad, he saved a kid from a cave, and is friends with Elena. He is also a fruit vendor.

Remember Gouken said you can't fight the influence of the Satsui No Hadou and there's no turning back. He was correct on the no turning back, but the overcoming it was kinda wrong. Gouki managed to overcome it. It only altered his appearance but not his overall personality. Notice that he doesn't attack the weak nor the defenceless.

Akuma...one of the few who increases his badassery as he ages like fine wine.

Some fans pointed out that Akuma dishes out the damage, but also takes more damage. Capcom did say that Akuma, and even Oni, needed to have this handicap for gameplay balancing purposes. However, I don't recall them saying it's canon that he takes more damage. I guess that explains why fighting against an AI controlled Shin Akuma and Oni, as hidden bosses, in SSF4 was tough. They didn't seem to have lower health pools.

Akuma is such a legendary character surprise Capcom didn't give him his own game.

Street Fighter x Darkstalkers: One thing you may not have considered is that Akuma's base form is literally his older self from Street Fighter III: Second Impact & Third Strike. Who's to say that he hasn't had the time between SSF4:AE and SF3:2I (including SF5) to train further and gain control of his Oni abilities?

Akuma's SF6 Raging Demon is so far the best Raging Demon

I mean honestly after playing SF6 Akuma is pretty tame in that universe. He never randomly attacks people, he’s willingly gone out of his way to save people, he doesn’t rob anyone and even has a job selling fruit, he never pulls a sneaky move on people and is always straight up with his opponent about his intentions, he even helps Ryu on his path to becoming a master, plus the SF team thinks that out of everyone in the cast he’d adopt an abandoned baby shown in his SFV concept art. Akuma is a villain but he isn’t a monster

I get an aneurism every time I hear "RI-U"

Knowing that his sf6 English va is the same va for tfs cooler is wild 🤣

It's going to be wonderful seeing Akuma interacting with all our avatars. The look on his face as all sorts of bizarre entities with the most inconceivable of proportions waltz into his cave. And that's before he has to do ballet with Manon or buy Blanka-chan dolls.

U forgot to mention him fighting Gen, but sparing his life in this updated video

The fact that he tied in a fight with Asura, a multiversal level God just proves how far Akuma is willing to go

Finally you got a video out on the new SF6 Akuma. Yay!!!

Akuma is the reason Street Fighter & Tekken are connected

Your videos are epic. Well done.

You’re the best at what you do do mate🎉🎉🎉❤

Now why do you pronounce Ryu like that? It’s not Rai You it’s Ree You

Awesome stuff!

I think it's a bit strange to see this character with the name of an akuma, because I've known him as gouki since the beginning

11:03 Oni Akuma beyond Shin Akuma

Great video. Akuma is also an herald of Galatus in MVC3 and Ultimate MVC3.

You have no problems pronouncing Gouken, so why do you pronounce Ryu as Rai-yuh and Akuma as Akuuumah? You spent 40 minutes on lore and canon crossovers, yet there's no mention of his fight with Gen, and most importantly, his real name Gouki?

Cyber Akuma is one of the greatest, most epic boss/villain ever made. His theme song in MSH vs SF was an absolute banger

That wasn't 'just a random' tree oni exploded, but the very tree planted over akumas grave, oni was the result of akuma literary dying and his body finally adjusted to the dark power so many years later

The exchange Ryu and Akuma had in 5:01 was pretty awesome

Where’d u get that new clip of akuma in sf6?

Who noticed how he looses his composure when using certain moves in sf6 he smiles crazy then goes back to unfazed as if he was thinking "I am stronger than satsui no hado ahum now back to fighting" and when he wins and turn back " shhhhh I broke my new toy too fast !!!" love crazy Gouki

Assassin's Fist is the definitive portrayal of Akuma's origin in my book. If anyone here hasn't seen it, I highly recommend looking it up! It's free to watch on RU-vid. The finest Street Fighter live-action film, hands down (admittedly not a high bar). The canonicity to the games is debatable, but it's as faithful and loving as an adaptation can get. For anyone who doesn't care to see it and wants SPOILERS (not my recommendation), I'll mention that it suggests that Ryu, a foundling, is actually Akuma's son, conceived after his father transformed into a "demon" (perfectly portrayed by Joey Ansah), explaining Ryu's mysterious innate connection to the Satsui no Hado.

You know, the fact, that his first "Die one thousand deaths" was silent made him scarier for me.

I wish for Akuma to be in Tekken 8. Only then will I buy the game.

great vid! seen some other entire akuma stories that are ai generated garbage, but this is well done.. with heart!

nice feature! no sf6 i thought? then found out akuma dlc for sf6 is not out yet 😊

he's so broken that not even x3 Mr X can give him trouble in Resident Evil 2

Again, u forgot to mention him as a secret boss in SF X Megaman

You kind of forgot about Akuma being featured in Resident Evil 2 as a special character to play and in a special mode Maximilian dood actually paid off a couple modders to dig deep into the file and they ended up finding it and made a mod for people to try it out on originally you had to play the game six times beat it six times get a rank and everything and you had to do it all with a knife once you've done this you had to go into a computer in a lab and type Akuma and then you could start playing with him apparently he shoots Fireballs he can punch instead of knife he can even do a shorter you can and when he's pushing objects he's doing the tatsumaki senpukyaku he's even strong enough to kill Mr X in 5 hadoukens and apparently they like to put three Mr x's in a couple rooms and with this mode there's a special ending you can unlock by killing eight special NPC zombies which includes characters from the Resident Evil 2 game like irons Leon Claire Sherry Annette Aida is a really interesting looking at game it's funny that a lot of people were left thinking that it was only an April Fool's joke only for it to actually be true sadly we're only finding it now because the final product of the game had a glitch in the code so no one ever really ended up finding it even if they did the conditions

Akuma was also Nosferatu Zodd in past life

The only issue I have with Akuma lore is that like 90% of people hit with the Shun goku satsu are still alive after or have had literal hacks to survive it. Love his character though and use him in whatever game that has him

It's funny the way it started as a joke Now you can't really imagen Street Fighter without Akuma

He has "isshun sengeki"ed all SF and Tekken characters, maybe soon he will go to Mortal Kombat realm!?

Shin Akuma, canonically, actually got his ass kicked by devil kazuya. Fucking crazy how powerful the mishimas are If Even the master of the hado himself got wrecked.

Well. Done with this one man thorgi couldnt have done it better

I’m sure we can all agree that street fighter reached its pinnacle at II.

Surprised you never covered the hidden Japanese text Shin Akuma has in Super Turbo II X. It's overlooked since most people play the american version which does not have it.

The only person I have ever seen Akuma tolerate is Elana

to this day I wonder if somewhere, someone was able to play as Ryu and not be hit *at all*, and then being able to fight Bison without ever being hit there for ten rounds. Its absolutely ludicrous to think this could be real, but you can bet your ass tens of thousands of players attempted it. Imagine being that gamer and finding out it was a joke. Man, murder would absolutely be on the menu that day

Best Epic Badass Street Fighter and Villain there is: Akuma! I Absolutely Love this guy! He's Pure Evil and Merciless! The Perfect Evil Longtime Archenemy and Worthy Adversary of Ryu!

OSW Review did another wrestling picture inspired by SFA2's cover

But we never got closure on Akuma in tekken 7 plus he never killed Heihachi Kazuya did so Akuma failed in his mission and never paid his debt that he promised to Kazumi

THE GOAT THE GOAT

Akuma in Mortal Kombat 1 invasion mode.😅😅😅. Akuma gets lost in the multiverse and shares a drink with Zoro😅😅😅 in Wano. Akuma gets hit by truck kun and wakes up in a world where martial arts are outlawed. Akuma steals a cream puff from Mash. Akuma arrives in the Soulcalibur era right aftet Heihachi left.😅😅😅

*THE RAGING DEMON LIVES ON!!* 👹

Doesnt The udon comic hint that Akuma IS the father of Ryu?

I don't want to use your link down below, I want to use the link up below.

I had a copie of tekken x street fighter for xbox 360

He was also in resident evil 2

Please, stop saying "Rai-ohh", it´s "Ree-yooh" (refering to Ryu), it hurts my ears everytime.

Wish ryu got a buff in sfvi

Debate this Cyber Akuma vs Oni

Early af bois

Now he need to appear in super dragon ball z

Akuma is the undertaker of street fighter 🎉🎉😅

Rayu 😭

0:13 Nothing screams “wiser” then trying to connect and older Ryu to the dark side, AGAIN! Like that red headed idiot can’t get a clue. How about Akuma go after Ken instead??? Cmon, Capcom! 😂😂😂

Akuma sf6 is bigger better harder. Stronger

Can you imagine if Akuma appeared in Tekken 8 only for Kazuya to defeat him and absorb his power instead of Azazel's

Disgrace akuma he didn't know how I hate him I'm fan of Ryu and Ken

Akuma name is gokui en Japan 😂😂

Hi it's me GOKU, I hear ur..AKUMA...FUQ Akuma ✨👹✨

You just couldn't help yourself from revealing you nostalgia bias by going on a tangent about how deep and complex cyber Akuma is? Cyber Akuma is a goofy concept and has the exact same morals as regular Akuma, what made him deep and complex had nothing to do with the cyber part of him. We get it top hat, you're old and yearn for the old days

Should he transcend lore and space and franchise and fenagle his way into the dragonball z universe to fight Goku? 😂 I mean it makes sense right?

What if Satsui No Hado was used not by human being, but some… object, like katana? I have an interesting concept for new Street Fighter character: Tsumiki Arikawa - the last member of the Arikawa clan and the wielder of katana, cursed by Satsui No Hado energy. The Arikawa clan is a clan of assassins who eliminate anyone who use Satsui No Hado techniques by the cursed katana, currently owned by Tsumiki. As the last descendant of the clan, eighteen-year-old Tsumiki vowed to end the hunt, began by her ancestors, and kill the last known and the most famous master of Satsui No Hado - Akuma. Tsumiki’s cursed katana has “Raging Shogun” - a technique similar to Raging Demon: Tsumiki ran through the opponent, slashing him by the katana, and after when she put the katana back in the scabbard, opponent is being hit by numerous attacks and one powerful blow in the end. If the opponent is defeated by Raging Shogun, the ten (heaven) sigil appears in black screen with Tsumiki and her opponent. Yup, Tsumiki is supposed to be Akuma’s rival.

Ryu not rayu

Can you make more lore content instead of fake theories please?

Go-TET-su, not Go-SET-su. 😂

He is a sloppy finisher! One one who stayed dead was his master 😂. Or did his master just play dead too. 😂😂

🌾u

What if.... Akuma is actually Ryu in a parallel dimension? Lol

I hate that Capcom keeps making Akuma look more and more like a silly lion 😅

The true horror to tophat would be if akuma insisted on different pronouns.

Corny

Comics are not canon.

ryu is akuma and akuma is oni

God I am so sick of gummy fighter 6. The music alone is such a slap in the face to us real street fighter fans. It’s as shitty as modern dei wwe entrance sound effects err “themes” the gfx look like something from a 360 game. Capcom is a shadow of the 90s capcom that was godlike. From beautiful sprite art to this garbage and morons who pay like $80 to have ninja turtles skins not even for the actual sf characters and $100 for skins. Modern fighting games are woke trash *looks at mortal kombat 1 rainbow weddings*
