"I shall meet you at your journeys end, *Ryu!* " Damn... After so many battles with this man, Akuma finally shown some respect to the one he called "Boy".
For street fighter 4 Pioxys i know evil ryu is obviously a what if version of the normal one. But it was always a headcanon of mine that evil ryu(ultra sf 4 version) and the good ryu were actually different seperate characters, evil ryu was actually a young gouki,and that we were really seeing how akuma gave into to satsui no hado,the whole time. P.S in street fighter 4 ultra we are seeing akuma's past being shown through an evil interpretation of ryu. The what if oni character is what gouki is to become in the future,in an unknown timeline likely after the events of sf3. The ryu,the one with the white karate gear,student of gouken and friend to ken masters,is a different Character,seperate from the satsui no hado version. Basically what I'm trying to say is that we were seeing two seperate timelines of who we thought was one character . from two seperate time periods the whole time evil ryu in super street fighter 4 was actually gouki,in his youth,and we were fooled into thinking he was an evil version of ryu. I know that you're going to say that that's retarded or dumb so don't bother replying,if you don't want to. And before you say what about asura's wrath,that game was non canon,meaning it never officially happened in the main street fighter storyline,akuma never went oni and ryu never went dark mode,because it's established in the main canon that if those two characters became their ultimate counterparts they would be stuck like that forever. And don't bring up non canon sources like udon comics or mangas. Oni never fought ryu. And it's a fact that in canon that ryu fully rid himself away of the no hado for good by the time of sf3,anyway like i said in my theory. The evil ryu in street fighter 4 and ryu who is the main character in all street fighter games are seperate characters from different eras. The hypothetical evil ryu in reality is actually young gouki in the past,and ryu the student of master gouken,friend of ken and the man who scared sagat,is a different person entirely in the present day era. Feel free to tell me what you think.
AND I'M MOT SAYING AKUMA IS ACTUALLY RYU,I,M. SAYING THAT IN SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4 WE WERE ACTUALLY SEEING AKUMA'S PAST WITH EVIL RYU BEING USED AS GOUKI'S INTERPRETATION.
@@GhostFan-ev4di only problem is that evil ryu is more violent and inhumane than Akuma ever was. M. bison and evil ryu are two of the only fighters Akuma considered reprehensible and better off dead.
@ultrixsoma2736 akuma has always respected ryu. He see's his potential. Also in one of the street fighter 4 endings its strongly implied akuma wants to train ryu. He probably sees his brother as a weak master who doesn't deserve a pupil with as much promise as ryu
NinjaWorldWarrior16 I wouldn't say most powerful as much as the fact that Necalli has a very weird body. It's almost similar to liquid. He can't die, but he has been defeated. This instance where Akuma beats him, but Ryu has also defeated Necalli.
Shantien The Great: Necalli appeared in a weaker form than expected due to the fact he absorbed Warrior Prophet, who isn't a notable fighter, but they might introduce a darker form of Necalli in the future, he must do something before disappearing for hundreds of years.
Yep, but Gen overcame it, and in the end, Akuma still kills him because of his "respect" for him, as well as how he must have felt irritated when Gen told him because he threw his humanity away, he never will TRULY become as strong as he could be.
That was such a corny ending, they should have just let Akuma try to kill Ryu and get Ken or Gouken to save him or something. Then again, the single player in SFV is pretty terrible across the board, so this weird story arc isn't surprising.
@@themightyarchangel I know this reply is late as hell, but if Akuma wanted to kill Ryu don't you think he would have done it by now? Akuma let's Ryu live so Ryu can give into the satsui no hado so he can fight him to the death. This is clearly a sense of character development for Akuma as Gen's words reach him, and his philosophy changes when he fights Kage. Akuma fights with a sense of purpose and honor, he literally had no reason to even think about killing Ryu.
"But without knowing the path of humanity, you will never reach of the divine..." - Gen wasn't wrong. As powerful as Akuma gets from controlling the Satsui no Hado, it's obvious his fate is meant to be that it will consume him and he will become Oni in the end of it all. And besides just seeing Gen had been weakened, Akuma must have been irritated by what he said, besides his "respect" of finishing him off with the Shun Goku Satsu or whatever he used to kill Gen. And given how Rose said in her victory quote to Oni back in Super Street Fighter IV that he isn't meant to appear "yet", there's a BIG chance Akuma eventually will slip up, and become consumed by the Satsui no Hado, since he lacks the balance to use it, compared to others like Goutetsu as well as Oro (even if he uses a facsimile), and how for Ryu, learning to fully awaken the Power of Nothingness aka Mu no Ken as well as telling Kage, his shadow and the essence of the Satsui no Hado within him that he can exist if he wants, allowed him to find the peace he needed.
Robert Rivera Agreed. This is probably because Ryu has the greatest potential becoming the best fighter, we know that Akuma always wants to battle Ryu when Ryu has reach his full potential, M. Bison wants Ryu to be his next body and Oro wants Ryu to be his disciple.
Sheldon Cooper81 but from this story mode, it seems that Akuma has given up on encouraging Ryu for using Satsui no Hado. Akuma seems more intended to fight Ryu in Mu no Hadou again in the future.
Heru Affandy Yes thats sad i loved the Akuma vs Evil Ryu Matches and Storylines even tough I HATED Evil Ryu s design in Street Fighter IV Capcom vs SNK 2 and Alpha 3 had the Best Evil Ryu s designs
Akuma finally killed Gen I love how Akuma & Gen story was a continuation of Gen seeking Akuma out again from Street Fighter IV Gen is Akuma best rival I know he took Akuma to his limits both top tier characters Akuma has the best story in V.
Allison Exotic yet the story of this game chronologically is a prequel to street fighter 3. In that game akuma looked how he always suppose with his hair tied,except he had gray streaks in his red hair.
I know this is late as fuck but to answer your question I believe it's to give him more of a lion like appearance. To bring up religion there is a saying in the bible "Be sober ,Be Vigilant, For the enemy the devil is like a roaring lion in search of who he may devour..." and since akuma character is supposed to be demon like maybe this was used as inspiration for his design and such? By the way I dont mean to bring religion in on a video game but I just thought it made sense somehow since akuma practically does have a lion's mane pretty much lol 😅🤣
At least we don't have Chain Smoker Akuma as the English voice anymore. Though this one.....er.....is going to need some time for me to get used to it. It seems to lack the overly dramatic hamminess of the prior ones. And call me a filthy weeaboo if you will, but for some reason I can't shake the feeling that his Japanese voices sounded better. .....Well, the gameplay seems tight from a viewer's perspective. That's good, I guess.
Strike that, that ending made me want to go to the grocery store and get some cheap wine to go with that cheese. Good Guy Akuma confirmed. Not that he ever was aligned with anyone to begin with.
...Oh. Ok. ...... I really have no comment for this. This is fine. I only wish I played the Mortal Kombat games more often (or at all) so I could relate better to what you said. Did he sound good in the latest version that had his voice actor speaking in it?
So, basically. Akuma wants to reach true god levels of strenght..So far he is beyond demon. Clever, here you see Gen telling Akuma he needs to be more human to reach that level that eludes him. In SF4 Ryu told Akuma thst he threw his humanity away. I wonder if this is the reaosn why Aku.a ia more human in sf5
"I shall meet you at your journeys end, *Ryu!* "
Damn... After so many battles with this man, Akuma finally shown some respect to the one he called "Boy".

Doth my eyes deceive me? Akuma actually respects Ryu now? CRAZINESS!!!
Cause not only could he match him, but possibly surpass him. Akuma would never turn back on a challenge.
Akuma saw that Ryu decided to seek his own path, just like Akuma did. And he seems to respect that.
@ultrixsoma2736 akuma has always respected ryu. He see's his potential. Also in one of the street fighter 4 endings its strongly implied akuma wants to train ryu. He probably sees his brother as a weak master who doesn't deserve a pupil with as much promise as ryu
@@0wolabi97if you think about it, Akuma is basically Ryu’s uncle
@@travtagonist3Gouken definitely adopted Ryu. Not sure if there was any legal documentation of it
Akuma Matata now has akuma adopting the lion hairstyle.
Lol
It greatly fits him.
Ryu: "The answer lies...in the heart of battle"
Akuma: Oh damn I smacked this kid so hard he went back to 2008, I better bail. *jumps into the sky*
>cause the answer lies, in the heart of battle
HE SAID IT HOLY SHIT
Roll the credits
I AM AKUMA, AND I WILL TEACH YOU THE MEANING OF PAIN
After hearing akuma speak: I must consult with the elder gods
I must battle with the Hado Gods.
"Darkness within Darkness awaits you, Ryu!"
I remember when I thought Necalli was going to be the main villain. How wrong I was.
kagiza kaiju But Necalli seems like a ghost ir immortal being, he cant die apparently

G has entered the chat
In fact, it's a shame he wasn't. Necalli is truly a wasted potential
Raiden and Akuma, light and dark, balanced as all things should be
And joker as joker
Not to mention their voices sound similar
Oh wow they sound really similar.
His voice of akuma is way better compared to the old one.
@@teedee9326 Also Ansem and Terra-Xehanort from Kingdom Hearts
TIL
Akuma was voice by Raiden
Richard Epcar definitely channeled an inner Raiden when he recorded Akuma's voice, and I love it!
And Ansem the Seeker of Darkness.
I can say, Akuma and Ansem the similiars of dark powers
E. Honda has turned into Akuma?!?
@@emil-inze6040 And Bobobo and Old Joseph Joestar.

The old story of gouki is that he stopped the fight with Gen because he realized he was sick/had cancer. Gouki wanted the ultimate fight to the death.

BIPPITY BAP BOOP BOP yes necalli (2016/2016)
If Chun-Li finds out of her master's death, there's no doubt she'll go after Akuma.
yes and not Gen is coming dlc
He killed Gen, but not Necalli. Necalli is an ancient spirit, which consumes souls, so he can't die just by his body getting blown up from inside.
7:22 Wow....Ryu made akuma smirk! One day you'll beat Akuma ryu, master those peaceful fists of humanity!
That was such a corny ending, they should have just let Akuma try to kill Ryu and get Ken or Gouken to save him or something. Then again, the single player in SFV is pretty terrible across the board, so this weird story arc isn't surprising.
Yo, his training with Oro will for sure make him stronger
That's right, someday Ryu will finally defeat Akuma. You have to wait for an SFVI

Your profile pic. That quote. Amazing.
he beat an old man! that was the true test!!
CriticalShot1 You forgot that Akuma is an old man too.
"So, you like kicking butts, do ya, Gen? I'll show you, old man!"
@John Appleseed He's at least in his 60s.
I hope there’s a prequel street fighter game.Young Gen,Young Oro,Gouki before he was Akuma,Chun Lee’s Father,Alex’s master Tom.Those are just some
2:03
Oh that's cute. Necalli is still trying to be relevant.
at least gen got what he wanted. to go out like a G.
But G is still alive…

Lol that is just gameplay mode....no one would ever dare to challenge Akuma other than the Ansatsuken users and Oro.
5:43 lmao he tried to do a kara raging demon
Politikz wtf
Akuma sounds like Raiden from MK x
BY THE ELDER GODS
Cuz they the same voice actor
poor gen RIP he was really a good man 😔😔😔😔
Gen was the biggest L to ever exist.
STILL GOT IT PIKACHUAKUMA! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS OF YOU PLAYING AKUMA AND RAGING DEMON CHALLENGERS!
Dayum Raiden making that money! 💰
I assume this is Raidens voice actor that is now Akumas?
Seiko & Pie Richard Epcar
tfw you hear richard epcard (batou) in literally every other animation/game.
Holy crap he actually called him Ryu
Old Joseph and Kakyoin are meeting up again in Street Fighter VI
Damn, sounds like Raiden really went off the dark end
And Ansem and Terra-Xehanort
that was awesome, i never played sf5, akuma is the greatest.
Does....Ryu...know what a question is?
Do you know what "The *answer* lies... In the heart of battle." means?
um When he fights ryu for some reason some of the lines they say to each other
makes me think they grew a....uh some kind of relationship?
Who knew Akuma would turn out to be a better Dark Raiden than the actual Dark Raiden we got in MK11 XD
Gen v Akuma could really be something if gen was in his prime.
Akuma is my favorite street fighter character
Akumas the biggest W to ever exist.
oh man, I used to hear Richard Epcar as Raiden or Akuma.. now all I hear is Joseph Joestar
I Love Akuma!
Wow he went from destroying his throat and avioli voice to an evil Raiden!
It’s literally Dark Raiden.
Best drawing I've ever seen in my life 🦁🦁😂😂😂
Thank you Capcom. Much love.
I am on the one who has escaped fate..best Quote ever
Yo the guy who voices Akuma voices Raiden in Mortal Kombat
I've been waiting oh master. Please grant us your master Akuma. Can't wait for rank matches
3:12: ok JR, I know you played so much third strike, and in sfv you will continue with the chop raging demon strategy?!, That's impressive
Isn't that the same voice actor as Raiden in MK9 or MKX?
Yep, Richard Epcar. He also voices Joker in Injustice and Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe
"I shall meet you at your journeys end, Ryu."
The time has come for these two to meet again 👀
HE SAID THE ANSWER LIES AT THE HEART OF BATTLE.
Akuma’s Voice Actor Sound’s Exactly Like Joseph’s From JJBa
It means I’m Oni,
For the rest of my days!
It’s my Satsui, philosophy,
Akuma Matata!
I love Richard Epcar, but what happened to Dave Mallow from the previous game?
I wished that Richard Epcar would reprise Akuma in Street Fighter 6 but he's voiced by Christopher Guerrero in that game.
Wait which gods will akuma consult
everyone: I hear Raiden
me: I hear Joseph Joestar lmao
How dose gen and necalli get no mercy but ryu dose
Hey what sup guys It scares here Because Akuma has an genuine interest in Ryu.
Which is a BIG thing becuase this is Akuma we're talking about here.

Yes thats sad i loved the Akuma vs Evil Ryu Matches and Storylines
even tough I HATED Evil Ryu s design in Street Fighter IV
Capcom vs SNK 2 and Alpha 3 had the Best Evil Ryu s designs
i don't care what people say, akuma's new eng voice makes him sound more demonic, just a reminder, this is my personal opinion.
Am I the only one who noticed that Akuma sounds a lot like Raiden from Mortal Kombat?
I prefer Akuma's voice from Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation.
He sounds as unconvincing as Heihachi Mishima's English voice actor.
What I don't get is, why do some characters' story modes have them fighting a whole lot of matches (Abigail), and others only a couple (Akuma)?
Akuma finally killed Gen I love how Akuma & Gen story was a continuation of Gen seeking Akuma out again from Street Fighter IV Gen is Akuma best rival I know he took Akuma to his limits both top tier characters Akuma has the best story in V.
Wild Pyroar appeared!
and damn Necalli, thats some vore shit right there
This dude looks like Mufasa
Akuma ( CAPCOM : Street Fighter Series ) 🆚 Jinpachi Mishima ( TEKKEN 5 : Powerful Demon Form )
Who will win ?
Akuma seems less sinister in english
Akuma sounds like raiden
What happened to akumas voice
Hey, is that the same voice as raiden just slightly different
Go akuma your THE best
how do you get 5 story segments and only 2 fights. Laura gets 4 segments and she gets 3 fights. Why?
So uh, what happened to Akuma that his hair is like a lion's mane?
RS Animations the characters are supposed to be getting older
Allison Exotic yet the story of this game chronologically is a prequel to street fighter 3. In that game akuma looked how he always suppose with his hair tied,except he had gray streaks in his red hair.
All I wanna know is why did his hair become like that?
I know this is late as fuck but to answer your question I believe it's to give him more of a lion like appearance. To bring up religion there is a saying in the bible

Awww, Dave Mallow was a much more evil and fierce sounding Akuma..his new voice is...ehhh.
Dave Mallow sounded like he had throat cancer
No SF4 Akuma sounded like he was gargling on gravel. He sounded awful. I like his SF5 voice way more.
The forward mp doesn't add significant range tho.. :c
Love ur video bro let’s play sometime
Excellent gameplay.
Raiden That You? 😂😂😂
The answer lies...
*IN DESTROYING EVERYTHING*
The voice akuma remind raiden from mortal kombat
Same voice actor
6:16 R.I.P ryu
Joseph joestar is that you? Since when did you dye your hair?
ALL I CAN HEAR IS RAIDEN
WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE GOUKEN!?
Because they're brothers? Either way I don't hear the resemblance
Huh, akuma and i have the same height
RAIDENNNN?????? VOICE
Japan mode story
This is the answer why Xian is pissed on season 2
Can’t press F?
Akuma kinda sound like Raiden
Same VA
The English Voice Over for Akuma really does him no justice.
