we heard your father fought Akuma back in the 90's and lost pretty badly until you were born that is and he still has the marks to prove it and the med document records to illustrate the coma he was in for 15 yrs before you were born
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.
Finally. Someone that gets the character. In SF Assassin’s Fist, Gouki even mentions that the old masters had it wrong. They gave in to the Hado. Gouki controls the Hado. He has achieved what he set out to do and has mastered the way of the Satsui no Hado.
Der gescheiterte Zustand der Überwindung ist „Oni“ in 4. Er war bis jetzt die mächtigste Version von Gouki, als „der Preis für das Scheitern“, aber schließlich, in 6, hat er sein Ego behalten und wurde Oni
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
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.
@fodolocraigo8426 Akuma's sf5 demon in the dark was the first time we saw what goes on during his demon. And there was Kage and his Raging demon which was the most violent & bloodiest
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?
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.
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
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
Akuma is definitely not a case of Worse than Ever, from what I see, Akuma in this universe is not only older but he also mellowed out and chill which itself can make Akuma better than ever. You can say Akuma learned how to truly hone his strength.
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
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
@@TopHatGamingManChannel Thats not how names work. Sure, other words can be pronouced in several ways, but names have one correct way of pronoucing them. It's Ree you, not Rai you. Just like John is pronounced Jonn and not Joan.
Sure it is, my name is Richard and when I visit Greece they role the R. I don't complain about it though and the way a Scot pronounces it to someone in the South East is very different too. For the record, a Frenchman pronounces John very different to Brits.
@@TopHatGamingManChannel When you go to Greece and they roll the R, they are pronouncing your name wrong. I get why you don't complain about it, it's obviously not a big deal at all, but it IS wrong. There ARE different ways to pronounce the same name, but each person has one right way to pronounce theirs. If a person is born in France and is called John, then the french pronunciation is the right one. If a person is born in England and is called John, then the english pronunciation is the right one. If the french person went to England, and I called him John in the traditional english pronunciation, I would be saying his name wrong.
@@TopHatGamingManChannel This comparison is just entirely false because it's not an accent issue, it's a pronunciation issue and those two things can be related but they aren't inherently related. Usually when accents result in an incorrect pronunciation it's a result of the person with accent having a native language that is incompatible with the correct pronunciation. Your accent here isn't incompatible with the correct pronunciation, it's just that the incorrect pronunciation was just sort of normalized in western countries. I grew up in the states where "Rai-You" was also the more common pronunciation when I was younger but it's not because of the American accent, it's because people looked at the spelling and went "Y makes an EYE sound". Tldr, it's not an accent thing, you're just saying it wrong.
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 RUclips. 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.
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.
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
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.
actually "sheng long" is not a character in chinese it literally means "god dragon" or "divine dragon" ryu meant you need to defeat his "rising dragon" fist to stand a chance.
Why do you pronounce the word oni "Oh-Knee" like the name Roni "Rh-on-knee".I wasn't looking at my phone when he said it the first few times and had no clue what he was talking about, then I looked down and saw super saiyan Blue and went, "ah, he means oni".
I know this hot take would get me a lot of heat but i need to get this off my chest and keep in mind this has nothing to do with his gameplay , i think its fantastic and timeless (tho broken and Op at times) or even his motivations but more so about his writing and progress in the Story : Im SICK AND TIRED of him being this invincible god that trashes everyone every single time , look i get the part that he is an obstacle for Ryu but now we made it to SF6 and yet nothing changed , i gave up on waiting for the day that he finally falls cuz i know it will probably never happen , suddenly coming and hitting Raging Demon and having a fight with cliffhanger result before leaving time and time again is NOT epic , its lazy writing , i wanna know why the writers are so afraid of giving him the L , SF5 was the perfect chance for him to put over Ryu but surprise surprise he did not , his Undefeated streak just jumped the shark for no reason , this man has been protected by the writers for so long and he needs to lose to advance the story forward unless he is the FINAL big bad in the series , i guess that would be mostly acceptable
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!
What if the cvs2 shin akuma ending was a hint to oni like you know how whatever it is won't allow him to die then tornadoes sucks him up then brings him back to life that would be cool
Fun fact the correct pronunciation for Akuma is not uh-kuh-muh it’s actually ah-kuh-maw even though it means the same thing. How often capcom’s translation team keeps that in mind is unclear.
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?
You mean his Japanese name. Akuma (which he's pronouncing correctly) has always been his only name everywhere else. And Ryu is not an easy name to pronounce if you've never heard it pronounced correctly, because the spelling doesn't match. I used to pronounce it the same as him.
@@xviper2k Him being a Japanese character by in a Japanese game by a Japanese gaming company means his Japanese name is the original name you tallywhacker. The youtuber wants to use Akuma because it's more familiar to english viewers? Fine, but this is a video about the character, why is there no mention of this discrepancy? And no Akuma being the Japanese word for devil, was pronounced badly too. And yada-yada with the oh it's hard to pronounce, the whole world learnt how to pronounce there vs their, someone intending to spread knowledge can at least put in the effort to properly pronounce the name of the main character of a game they're talking about.
There ain’t no way as long as he got the lore right why tf it matter why he says people name right😂 it’s like how people say tomato two different ways you know what he’s saying so what’s it matter😂
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
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.😅😅😅
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! 😂😂😂
Why does everyone always miss out the greatest street fighter ever made Street fighter Alpha three I thought that was and still is the best street fighterg
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.
Akuma basically means "Demon" or "Evil Spirit" in Japanese, and makes sense for Gouki cause he a badass demonic fighter, and Gouken is a normal fighter

Its hard to find a more fine a wine like Akuma he really is timeless no matter what Era he is in it dosen't matter with the Master of the Fist
Correct
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.

Lets talk bout yo mama😂
Akuma's SF6 Raging Demon is so far the best Raging Demon

Great video. Akuma is also an herald of Galatus in MVC3 and Ultimate MVC3.
Cyber Akuma is one of the greatest, most epic boss/villain ever made. His theme song in MSH vs SF was an absolute banger
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
If you arent from japan YOUVE SEEN HIM AS AKUMA FOR DECADES NOW. Lol you dudes that ate snobs over a LANGUAGE . Are weird afffff

Awesome stuff!
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

You forgot Akuma's appearance in Resident Evil 2 and Azusa's Wreath
*me giving him rubber duckies in sf6...* he says he has no need for them but duckies and lanterns have a great aesthetic.
I know this hot take would get me a lot of heat but i need to get this off my chest and keep in mind this has nothing to do with his gameplay , i think its fantastic and timeless (tho broken and Op at times) or even his motivations but more so about his writing and progress in the Story :
Im SICK AND TIRED of him being this invincible god that trashes everyone every single time , look i get the part that he is an obstacle for Ryu but now we made it to SF6 and yet nothing changed , i gave up on waiting for the day that he finally falls cuz i know it will probably never happen , suddenly coming and hitting Raging Demon and having a fight with cliffhanger result before leaving time and time again is NOT epic , its lazy writing , i wanna know why the writers are so afraid of giving him the L , SF5 was the perfect chance for him to put over Ryu but surprise surprise he did not , his Undefeated streak just jumped the shark for no reason , this man has been protected by the writers for so long and he needs to lose to advance the story forward unless he is the FINAL big bad in the series , i guess that would be mostly acceptable
he's so broken that not even x3 Mr X can give him trouble in Resident Evil 2
The only person I have ever seen Akuma tolerate is Elana
You forgot the movie series, the cartoon series, and the anime! 😢
Well. Done with this one man thorgi couldnt have done it better
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!
I wish for Akuma to be in Tekken 8.
Only then will I buy the game.
What if the cvs2 shin akuma ending was a hint to oni like you know how whatever it is won't allow him to die then tornadoes sucks him up then brings him back to life that would be cool
It's funny the way it started as a joke
Now you can't really imagen Street Fighter without Akuma
Yep 😂👌🏾💯
Doesnt The udon comic hint that Akuma IS the father of Ryu?
Where’d u get that new clip of akuma in sf6?
He’s in another game i forgot what it was killed but evil ryu was there as well
Fun fact the correct pronunciation for Akuma is not uh-kuh-muh it’s actually ah-kuh-maw even though it means the same thing. How often capcom’s translation team keeps that in mind is unclear.
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?
You mean his Japanese name. Akuma (which he's pronouncing correctly) has always been his only name everywhere else. And Ryu is not an easy name to pronounce if you've never heard it pronounced correctly, because the spelling doesn't match. I used to pronounce it the same as him.
@@xviper2k Him being a Japanese character by in a Japanese game by a Japanese gaming company means his Japanese name is the original name you tallywhacker.
The youtuber wants to use Akuma because it's more familiar to english viewers? Fine, but this is a video about the character, why is there no mention of this discrepancy? And no Akuma being the Japanese word for devil, was pronounced badly too.
And yada-yada with the oh it's hard to pronounce, the whole world learnt how to pronounce there vs their, someone intending to spread knowledge can at least put in the effort to properly pronounce the name of the main character of a game they're talking about.
There ain’t no way as long as he got the lore right why tf it matter why he says people name right😂 it’s like how people say tomato two different ways you know what he’s saying so what’s it matter😂
This is the first time I heard somebody call Akuma a "GigaChad", but Im not disagreeing 😂
One of these days; on like the ps7 we are gonna get Tekken X Street Fighter… It shall deliver us from the dark age of the future
Street fighter ex series ...unfortunatelly only ex1 😢😢😢😢
OSW Review did another wrestling picture inspired by SFA2's cover
That mean he’s only one to be in Street Fighter, Tekken & CapCom (Universe) 😮
Please, stop saying "Rai-ohh", it´s "Ree-yooh" (refering to Ryu), it hurts my ears everytime.
*THE RAGING DEMON LIVES ON!!* 👹
I don't want to use your link down below, I want to use the link up below.
Hold up a sec.. who is stronger now?
Cyber akuma
Oni
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
You know, the fact, that his first "Die one thousand deaths" was silent made him scarier for me.
They might as well put him in Mortal Kombat 1 or Mortal Kombat 2
Is Akuma based on Asura? He looks an awful lot like him!
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 GOAT
THE GOAT
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! 😂😂😂
Debate this
Cyber Akuma vs Oni
Easily oni
Why does everyone always miss out the greatest street fighter ever made Street fighter Alpha three I thought that was and still is the best street fighterg
Sean, Shaun. Shhush💫🤍
He was also in resident evil 2
Can you imagine if Akuma appeared in Tekken 8 only for Kazuya to defeat him and absorb his power instead of Azazel's
Early af bois
Raiyu? Come on, man...
Akuma is the undertaker of street fighter 🎉🎉😅
Wish ryu got a buff in sfvi
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.
Why do you say Ryu that way?
I've created a world called Nexus Multiverse where everything is together. Would love to work with you and see if you like what I've created so far?
I had a copie of tekken x street fighter for xbox 360
Why they change gouki to akuma ???, gouken is still gouken
Akuma basically means "Demon" or "Evil Spirit" in Japanese, and makes sense for Gouki cause he a badass demonic fighter, and Gouken is a normal fighter
Akuma sf6 is bigger better harder. Stronger
Akuma was also Nosferatu Zodd in past life
You didn't mention that he is friends with Elena. Or that he is a simple fruit vendor for a his day job. Lol. Cmon man.
Otherwise great video.
Hi it's me GOKU, I hear ur..AKUMA...FUQ
Akuma ✨👹✨
