The Entire Terrifying Story of Akuma ! - Street Fighter History (1991-2024)

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

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

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

Rayu 😭

Corny

Comics are not canon.

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.

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!

Stfu weebs 🤣🤣

THE RAGING DEMON LIVES ON!! 👹

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

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?

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?

The only person I have ever seen Akuma tolerate is Elana

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.

ryu is akuma and akuma is oni

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

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

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

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

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

Akuma name is gokui en Japan 😂😂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Akuma is the undertaker of street fighter 🎉🎉😅

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

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

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.

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

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

Akuma sf6 is bigger better harder. Stronger

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.

Wish ryu got a buff in sfvi

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

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