Where I walk, I walk alone. Where I fight, I fight alone.
Unless it's Marvel v Capcom
@@kahlilrogers5084 that's true
Where, where is one who can stand against me.
@@y.cyferfreemoney that was Akuma. The man who mastered our fighting style.
Akuma's most important lesson;
"Dont let your inner beast controls you, you control it.....and youll have the unbeatable power that no one can rival"
Being 50 years old, AKUMA is a real life role model to me. Gotetsu put limitations on his training but he was like "f*ck it" I'm gonna train anyway and eventually defeating Gotetsu. He went past his limits to become the best.
Akuma isn't evil, he is ruthless and murderous but not evil
murder is considered to be malum in se, that is, an act which is evil within itself.
Yes, he is neutral. As violent as he is, he is an anti villain at best. However, he is not evil. Only the weak of mind would ever consider him to be evil.
Ryu's and Akuma's relationship is similar to Luke and Vader's to a degree. Akuma wants Ryu to tap into the dark side to give him the fight he's been wanting.
True, but such a relationship is far older than Star Wars, too. Stories as old as the Christian Bible have Jesus and Satan briefly mentioned in that, the power temptation thing. Faust caved to his tempting evil. I could go on, but for modern culture, you hit the bullseye with the Luke-Vader comparison. 👍
@@That80sGuy1972
And I would say that the relationship between Gouken (Akuma's Older Brother) and Akuma himself is similar to that of Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul.
Akuma/Gouki is rather more deep than people realize. Akuma enjoys the fight not the killing. And it isn't that he lacks emotion. If anything he shows love in one of its perverted forms. Gouki loved Goutetsu's niece but he chose to become what he believed to be the pinnacle of warriors. Is he evil? In a manner of speaking, yes. But not in the sense of what Bison or even Seth are. But while people think Akuma is held under the sway of the Satsui no Hado the opposite is in fact true. He enjoys the power for the love of the fight not to kill which is what Ansatsken is designed for. So in a way he both proved Goutetsu right and wrong.
Hes just swordless samurai
Bruh he loved the girl completely, but he realised he had his destiny..... That's a choice a REAL MAN must make in the world, let go of what holds you back and ascend or hold on to it and lose it anyway like Gouken did when the girl left him..... Gouki did the right thing, it's all because Goutetsu kicked him out for being impassioned about the arts, even when he saw Gouki loved and respected him like a father
One of my all time fav characters!!! Yall the GOATS man!!!!!!!
I love the idea of him being Ryu’s father just like I wish Ryu and Chun Li were an official couple
please tell me this is a joke?
@@richardburton4625 I heard sarcasm in the tone. It's hard to hear tone in the comments section. Couldn't you see Akuma messing with Ryu's head by telling him that lie, though?
good choice of names always good to see another gambit fan.
Why? That would be very dumb

In My Opinion Akuma Is a Wayy Better Villain than Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat he's a Raging Demon afterall
😂 Akuma would destroy 98% of Mortal Kombat Verse 😂. Shang Tsung wouldn’t even slow Akuma down on the rampage though Outworld 😂
Jamal Vargas
Oh Akuma would absolutely wreck Shang Tsung in a direct fight, especially if he could connect with a Raging Demon cause of how much evil the Outworlder has commited... But is it a fair comparison to make?
Akuma is a physical powerhouse who fights his own battles, stands alone, and is more of an anti villain than a villain. He's a "I want to be the greatest ever" type of character, with dark leanings. Shang Tsung is more reliant on sorcery and soul power than physicality (but isn't physically weak by any margin), is a full "bent on world domination" kind of villain, and his villainy is more of a "power behind the throne" and acting indirectly through minions kind.
So while they're both not good guys, they're also VERY different in their motivations and ways of taking action. Shang Tsung is more like M. Bison if he's compared to Street Fighter characters. And as for Akuma... I'm not really sure who in Mortal Kombat I would compare him to, cause all the bad guys in MK are focused on taking over and ruling as tyrants, and not on just building their own strength for its own sake.
Addendum: If you're familiar with the RUclips series, and later channel, called Death Battle, one of their earliest episodes was Akuma versus Shang Tsung. You should check it out. They don't just show the fights, but they examine both characters first and then explain the result after with evidence from both characters' actions and history UP TO THE TIME THE EPISODE IS MADE.
@@NinjaAimless also akuma is outerversal ruclips.net/video/Z1EMlfNb6KMh/видео.htmlttps://ruclips.net/video/PLsV5WjW8PA/видео.html

Akuma is more like a Anti Hero in my opinion he doesn't want to takeover the world he wants to be the greatest fighter ever
Besides his refusal to kill, or to even fight in some cases, those who haven't met or surpassed his strength, there's arguably another reason that makes him not bad. Using the Raging Demon on M. Bison, no matter what the reason was, is a GOOD action if you view it through the "ends justify the means" ideology. The dictator is a monster in nearly every way, and his continued existence leads to torture, brain washing, slavery, murder, and more. So taking out Bison the way he did (idk if it's canon) in SF2 was not only not a bad thing, but a heroic act. Bison survived by jumping to another body, but during the time he's inactive he can't engage in his usual malicious actions. So it's a good thing Akuma did.
When fighting monsters it's important not to become one yourself. Stare into the abyss long enough and the abyss stares into you.
@TheKushisback
I think Akuma is beyond that point. And while he's not a good guy in any sense, look at his interactions with his Gouken, Goutetsu (I think that was his Master's name), and Ryu if anyone thinks so, I stand by him taking out Bison being an overall good act. Some times the best thing to stop a monster is not a hero, but is another monster.
@@angelusumbrae
But of course Goutetsu is the real name of Akuma's master, so how come you don't know his name???
@imanolcastillo6357
Do you know how to spell every single character's name perfectly?
If not, hush.
If so, congratulations, and now hush.
Akuma is my favorite character in street fighter and I support it
The Supreme Master of the Fist.
Been subbed for some time. Love the content.
Akuma!!!!!!!
So their first fight, Gouken whoops his ass but spares his life. And for showing mercy Akuma called him 'weak'? Bro! He whipped your ass so explain how he's 'weak'?! Akuma has quite the ego!
he is pure ego. that is what pushes him to such lengths
I think what he meant was emotionally weak, in Akuma's philosophy when you defeat an opponent he sees it as respectful to kill them, this makes some sense as in old Japanese tradition you could be seen as a dishonor to your family and community if you were to flee battle or surrender to an enemy in order to save your life in war. So Akuma is angry because he's embarrassed and ashamed with having to live after suffering a defeat. He thinks if gouken were truly serious about battle he would have finished him.
Ryu and Akuma are my 2 favorite fighters in the street fighter franchise.👊🥋🎮🕹 great video. 😀
Btw would you do videos on a game called DARKSTALKERS?🤔
😀👻👿👹💀
Decent video, lore is mostly accurate save for the fact Akuma was banished from his master Goutetsu's Dojo for attempting to access texts he kept hidden about the Satsui No Hado. Namely related to the Shun Goku Satsu but also other forbidden techniques that caused the user to tap into the dark art thus corrupting them.
I remember gossip back in the day Akuma was believed to be the teacher of Ryu , Ken , and Sagat . With a strong rivalry between them all.
My favorite character other that Sagat. All Will Fall Beneath my FIST!!! 🤚🏾✊🏾🌋👹
Where's the 1 million subscribers party being held at?
Akumas probably the most resilent fighter in this franchise. Most of the fights he loses he usually comes back and beats them
4th do a super drags video
Intriguing, i always knew there was more to life and i have also been looking for a way to find not only protection but a way to be influential to the human society
oh well you can achieve that by being a part of the illuminatus brotherhood, i know it sounds like a mystery but there are ways you can actually get in contact with them
@@DavidVelasquez9 hi, isnt the brotherhood a myth?
@@peterwilliams6361 well it is not and you can't actually expect it to be open to everyone, but if you want to know more you can look up Wilford Robert Taylor online you will find something interesting
@@DavidVelasquez9 oh really, i just saw his website, interesting.i will leave him a message.
What the fuck did I just witness
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Question? Where the hell is it stated that Akuma’s kongou kokuretsuzan has the ability to “crumble the earth”? That statement has been thrown around numerous times by fans. But nobody has the statement nor can prove where the statement is said the earth was crumbling beneath him when using the technique. Can you plz help me with this??🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love akuma he just became oni it's bcuz of a one girl....girls are actually temptation hell with them
Amazing you did this video without laughing. NERRRRRRRDDD
What does it mean by his kongou kokuretsuzan statement, "crumble the earth beneath him"?
AKUMA Matata!! … It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
AKUMA Matata!
Does Akuma age, or did the satsui no hadou slowed his aging
What are the names of the anime and movies?
I love annihilape
When Akuma says "I am evil incarnate", I beg to differ. He's evil, yeah, but true evil values personal satisfaction over restraint. Selfishness, absolute selfishness, to the point of utter cruelty, is the core of being evil. So, "evil incarnate" WILL have the ability to abide by a code (such as Akuma's) for pride reasons, but that will not stop him from violating that code if doing something selfish would feel more satisfying than sticking to his code based upon his evil arrogance-based faux pride. Perhaps he should have used an evil term instead of the word evil in "I am evil incarnate"... like brutality, bloodthirst, strife, conflict, etc... something less all-inclusive to evil than the word "evil". I mean, if Akuma was evil incarnate, he'd be sitting upon a pile of gold, commanding minions, generally cowardly (despite being godlike in violent physical capability), having millions of people seeing him as some great leader, and only showing up to finish off someone his minions could not kill. Oh, and most of his attacks would be from the dark, often when his target is asleep, and killing off that target's friends/allies/loved ones in the area too...then looting them. There would also be violations of people of hostage and sexual nature too, but let's not get into that.
Evil, yep, hands-down no-doubt evil. As for "evil incarnate", nope... he's a far cry from that. He's actually pretty saintly compared to how evil one who is truly evil is.
to be fair in his demon form he is an indiscriminate killing machine, and thats when he said it. other wise yeah i agree with you he is a murderous fighter but only kills fighters who gave him a worthy challenge. not a mass murdering nut job. he is still evil even in his "normal" form, just not in the rule the world way. he only cares about fighting and being strong thats it
@@cunott280 That's exactly my point. I don't disagree that he's evil at all. As I said, it's the "evil INCARNATE" claim. By claiming that, he's claiming to be the physical embodiment of all evil, not just being evil. I mean, I can see him claiming that to be intimidating... but the claim is wrong. If he said that to me in person, he'd probably kill me for my pointing out how wrong he is by saying that.
And his demon form, it's cool. Not all Oni are born Oni. Some Oni were once people, becoming such monsters via giving in to the mind, body, spirit, and power of being an Oni. It's a nice nod to mythology. Oni are also varied in personality and in power (always evil, no matter the personality). Aku from Samauri Jack is technically an Oni... and Akuma would take issue with such an OP coward and probably COMPETE with Jack in his quest to destroy Aku... before taking on Jack himself.
Sorry for nerd-vomiting again. I used to be an avid reader, among other things... the whole infinite curiosity thing.
@@That80sGuy1972 bro thought he was trigon
@@Ihatethisfame I guess he might see himself that way. He'd be wrong.
@@That80sGuy1972 true
I wouldn’t say his presence is a danger to everyone he is around just because of that moral code he has. He has refused to fight people or even stopped fighting people just because he found out they were not a worthy opponent or posed any threat to him. If he and Dan were to cross paths and Dan wanted a fight Akuma wouldnt give him any mind. Heck even RYU, who is very capable, akuma has stopped short of killing him numerous times because akuma knows that Ryu wasn’t fighting to his most potential.
M Bison on the other hand has no problems killing anyone he wants. It’s his unbridled thirst for power is what disgusts Akuma who only wants to better himself by facing only the best.
I would love to see Akuma face off against......THE KING......YUJIRO HANMA from the Baki series!!!!
So Akuma would thrive among the Predator species.
What is the anime at 9:15?
"Jen" smh 😭
NANI ?!
He looks like Nosferatu Zodd
AKUMA IS NO.MATCH FOR ME!
AND NO ONE CAN DEFEAT ME IN A STREET FIGHT...
Mostly good video; but please stop calling his martial art form "unidentified". Im not even a very big SF fan and i know the basic canonical lore behind it.
In real world Martial Arts; Shotohan was the first named form of the combined forms of Okiniwa. They were a combination of Okinawan exercise techniques similar to what we call calisthenics today; routines made up of body-weight exercises like pushups and Chinese Martial Arts.
Canonically in SF a group of the original Masters behind Shotokan did not like the idea of it being used in sport; and wennt of to develop the true physical and spiritual potential Martial Arts like the Shaolin did. The developed a Martial Art known as "Ansatsuken". This is Japanese for "Assassins Fist" and the very reason for the movie subtitle "Assassins Fist".
Ansatsuken does not exist, although new Katas were developed by Martial Artists for scenes in the "Ansatsuken" that do actually work as a Kata when put together. It however is now real and actually made to make the training scenes in the movie look real. The people that made it however knew what they were doing.
Ansatsuken in SF lore is a sister form of Shotokan that chose to evolve in isolation away from Shotokan. It doesnt and has never actuallt existed; but it represents the back side of Martial Arts; the masters that dedicate their lives to improving the form above all other things.
This is even shown in the Story for Ryu and Akuma; where Akuma becomes less evil as he masters the form fully and gainscontrol over its greater powers. Ryu needs to accept his darker side and overcome it to truly surpass Akuma. As they both reach the same highest pedestal; the become more alike. Honor and respect become the chief emotions of their choices; just the like practitioners of the theologies behind Martial Arts aim to do.
To this extent, Akuma seeks adversaries that are beyond him and doesnt generally harm those too weak to be a threat. His even shown able to use his Oni form in some media; as if he actually takes control. His later self is depicted less villanous and simple the result of surviving the hardest and quickest path to power. A soul full of only pain.
Umm... can you find someone who doesn't sound like they are just reading a script?
@Streetfighter4 yay!!! Can't wait to claim my price!!! Get a job you nonce.
I use to bully Akuma is school.
3:59 RAHYOO, rly...?
Gen is pronounced "Ghen" not "Jen"
Ryu is not pronounced "Rai you" its pronounced "Reeyu"
Gi is not pronounced "G" it's pronounced "Ghi"
Kage is not pronounced "Cage" it's pronounced "Kahgey"
They are pronounced "go key" "go ken" "go tet su".
Although I know Gouki is pronounced well it still feels wrong
Why do you guys always pick the most mid B-roll to use as visuals lol
you guys are not ready but Akuma is Ryu father.
Akuma wasn't strong enough to rip his gi off
The power of nothingness... Akuma will counter it with the power of somethingness! What a load of shit Capcom makes these days...
GO....KEN Go as in Go,.. and GO....KI, you pronouncing it GOOOKEN AND GOOOKI. That's how say Gouken and Gorki's name. don't annunciate the U
King of Cheats and Over Powered yet hate M. Bison for it. Hypocryte!!
Jin Kazama beats Akuma.
not even close
love it when a narrator has not even basic understanding of the material they are covering, and even more when an editor doesnt correct those things.
You know what I find so funny about the Akuma supposed lure I keep reading and or hearing that he only wants to fight fighters who are on his level or higher but when he met his match with Oro and both men realized but they were the definition of an equal match that's one Akuma decided he don't want that smoke so what's really going on with this dude I'm starting to question his honour and only see a bully
