Akuma: "Gouken never told you what happened to your father." Ryu: "He told me enough! He told me you killed him!" Akuma: "No. I am your father." Ryu: No... No. That's not true! That's impossible! Akuma: Search your feelings. You know it to be true. Ryu: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!
The fact that Ryu can tap into that dormant power whenever the need arises, isn't merely a coincidence. We never see that same latent power emerge with his friend Ken, so it's obvious that Akuma is Ryu's father.
It makes sense. I wish they would make a game called called Street Fighter Origins where the game would answer questions or and show younger versions of characters. Well Done.
I agree 👍 I would love to see a more origins.story of street fighter also a I would love ❤️ to see a better live action movie 🎬 of Ryu and ken masters also aukma and sagat vaga and adon with guy
I honestly would really like this to be cannon, just because I think delveloping Akuma's past would highlight how twisted the satsui no hado is and how Ryu overcoming it would make him more powerful than Akuma could ever hope.
I always felt that akuma was ryu’s father. That by delving into the murderous intent he might have felt to truly be free to take on this new life he had to do so with no ties of his past life. He killed his master, tries to kill Gouken and in theory kill his wife and possibly his child. That either ryu survived by luck or Akuma saw the murderous intent even at such a young age he spared him. From there Gouken would have raised him not telling him his true origin in fear of traumatizing him and making him vengeful since it would be clear to Gouken that Ryu has the murderous intent inside of himself. In that way the Akuma/Ryu story has always felt like the Anakin/Luke story.
I think that the creators of STREET FIGHTER were initially heavily influenced by the father/son rivalry of Yujiro Hanma and Baki Hanma in the BAKI manga series and used this as the basis for Akuma and Ryu's possible familial relationship. I see some merit to this theory. They have since played it down, but it would make sense from a storytelling perspective.
@@Stylez-13 right but SF1 was 1987 and Baki early in the series looks just like Ryu in SF1. Also Akuma is based on Buddhist demigods and was originally an April fools joke because of Ryu’s win quote mistranslation. Baki is definitely inspired by street fighter not the other way around
It’s a great theory and makes a lot of sense considering the variables and the plot. But I think ryu is just an orphan who happened to be found by gouken.
The satsui hadou is been highly hinted that a certain bloodline possess it. Ryu's mother been hinted on many occasions and been suggested that Akuma is the father which is why he is so obsessed with fighting him at his full extent of that power.
Street Fighter generations shows that Fuka is most likely Gouki’s daughter. Hint* when Ryu and Gouki are crossing fists, Fuka appears and returns Ryu back to his normal state. That also shows that Gouki still has some humanity within. My guessing! Gouki, Gouken, Goutetsu, and Ryu, they all go back to the same bloodline. In “Ryu Final” the manga, Gouki finds Ryu in front of a bear’s cave to avenge his parents who were killed by it. Gouki shows up in the last moment to save Ryu and carries him to Gouken cuz he was astonished by this little boy’s courage. That’s all what I have :)
There is also the Ryu final manga that talks about them having a duel saying" Even if these 2 are related by blood, it doesn't matter..." The manga also was responsible for adapting Evil Ryu's chest scar wound. Too many things pointing at Akuma being ryu's father.
So here’s how I see it… the earliest storyline adaption for street fighter ever was the street fighter 2 manga books. In that storyline Bison killed Gouken (who by the way got his character design from that manga series). And on the night of the murder Ryu fights Sagat giving him the scar and Ken fights Vega getting separated from ryu until years later hence why ryu is alone in the start of almost ALL SF2 storylines. Now here where akuma comes in…… So when akumas character was introduced and it was decided that Gouken was killed by gouki, it retconned the original SF2 anime. But the thing is most of us can agree that it fits for a much better story to have akuma exist. That is why for me personally I feel that the street fighter alpha generations storyline makes the most sense although I disagree with their storyline of Gouken dying at such a young age and ryu being so young. But it is HEAVILY implied in that movie that gouki is ryus father. That I can agree with
In SF Alpha Generations, the old Monk confirmed that Akuma is Ryu's dad at the end of the movie. "Long ago, a man came to me with a child and made me promise not to let the child walk in the father's path....I kept the promise I made to you that day..Gouken."
I mean it pretty much follows the same thing Ryu being like Luke and Gouken obi wan is just the similarities are very staggering. thank you for watching
Interesting, BTW I wonder if what is cold as Shin Ryu is actually the true form of the ansatsuken, powerful enough to destroy a metropolitan area in one hit, but gentle enough to knock out without causing any harm and sealing evil
If you look at Ryu's canonical appearances his hair starts out Red and slowly turns black over the timeline. I always theorized its cuz of him slowly overcomig the dark hadou he inherented
Hi SFV hope you are you doing well, this video is great and very in-depth Akuma possibly being Ryu's father people have been saying that for years. Maybe one day we'll get a canon movie or show that says Ryu's father is Akuma.
In the akuma origin comic, which is canon, it reveals that ryu is the son of one on the killers of goken and akumas father, gyuki, who killed the father of one of the assassins in an attempt to run from his past.
During the movie Street fighter, found it odd that during Goki absence from the dojo it was mention that Goken wife or gf just took off and ran into the woods...so this is what made me belive that Akuma is Ryu father, where else could he have come from thin air.
They hinted around this alot in the Street Fighter Alpha anime...but in the latest Akuma origin comic from a few years back this seemed completely disregarded
Street Fighter V has Akuma call Ryu boy and is obviously interested in him. And i mean, it is never explained why Ryu even has the Satsui no Hado. SFV Sagat story shows that it can be inflicted onto others, but Ryu never had fought a satsui user to the death before SF1.
If I remember correct there IS an explanation for it. Every practicioner of the true Ansatsuken will eventually get in contact with the Satsui no Hadou, because this martial art was originally made to train one's body for it. The reason why no other character aside from Ryu and Akuma developed it naturally is because Ken did not train in the traditional Ansatsuken, instead he trained in the new version made by Gouken, Gouken made a revision in the martial arts precisely to remove the Satsui no Hadou from the Martial Art after Akuma fell to it. What is not explained is why did Ryu train in the original version. In case you want to know where I got this info from, it's the sum of bits of info from the endings of Ryu in the Alpha series, SF3 and it's sequels and SF4 variants
the satsui no hado is nothing more than a killing instinct. it is Capcom's take on a trope in martial arts fiction (specifically wu-xia fiction), known by the phrase 走火入魔 (exit fire, enter demon), and describes a state where a fighter has over-trained or trained incorrectly, so much so that his art consumes him and he becomes like a demon. The "fire" in the phrase refers to one's soul or spirit, being replaced by a metaphorical demon. That is literally what happened to Akuma. So, theoretically, anyone who trains the ansatsuken can get to the state where he loses control of himself and lets the murderous intent take over. Ryu got his first taste of that at the end of SF1 where he got defeated by Sagat. Ken never gets to that state because he doesn't take fighting as seriously as Ryu.
Nobody talk about the fact that the master wanted to pair goken with the girl to take over the dojo. Which leads to goki hard Training. And force her to stop chasing going so he can arrange her to be with goken
So Akuma was essentially a boy madly in love And in a hurry to grow up and inherit the dojo & Marry his lover tampered with darkness and became devoured by it. Momentary bit of sanity left his boy at his former home.
When I saw this show, in like 2015, and this was a show, not a movie, (It got canceled) I knew he was his father. I didn't understand why it still hadn't been revealed yet though, and still don't.
Good stuff! I never thought about it like that but once you tie everything in together, it all makes sense. Now my question is where does Evil Ryu fit into the story. Awesome video as usual!!
It would also explain why Akuma took out M.Bison (to protect him) and why even in victory, he never tries to kill Ryu. He destroyed and island but he knew Ryu could survive. Also in Azura's Wrath, he kicks him off the moon back to earth when he sees Azura win (who probably would have killed ryu). Akuma always seems to be protecting ryu, and encouraging him to reach his potential....like a good papa. Cool theory
@@TheFighterVerse keep it going. Love the content. Sf is one of my all-time favorite franchises. The lore is so rich i could listen for hours.....and i usually do. 😀
you must ask yourself why does a coma always follow right you around and never want to destroy him? and the cartoon raise master admits that they have the same blood running through their veins
Akuma is just an illusion from Ryu's mind. His obsession with being the best fighter, therefore using the no hado or something like that, the negative energy which akuma embodies at this point
Akuma =Vegeta. Ryu =Trunks Akuma never wanted a son, just a worthy opponent. Similar to Vegeta…… Yes Akuma is Ryu father they just not staying the obvious but signs point to Akuma being Ryu father.
It would not make sense considering that not only the movies are not cannon, what is being overlooked that satsui no hado can be used for good or evil. If darkness is not balanced then it could consume the person as in akuma's case. However, we also know in cannon that ryu is seeking balance. So just who are his parents? Who knows. It lends to ryu's background.
It really suck bc street fighter anime movies are awesome and yet we don't get more. There's so many mk movies but it's like people dnt care to make street fighter movies or sum. Also the fan made street fighter Ryu & Ken short film is everything
Canonically impossible, all gouki cares about is getting stronger and fighting strong opponents. The assassin's fist movie has references to some canon but nah just look at tiamat's or vasili's plot guide no mention of gouki even thinkin about love.
I keep forgetting Akuma suppose to be a real physical dude in the SF Universe. always assume his more of a Over Power Entity like a demon ghost or something that haunt Ryu are anyone using that marital arts .
From a Ryu ONLY gamer since day one, I love this theory and it makes perfect sense why Akuma wants Ryu and not Ken. He has claim to him thru blood ties. Capcom needs to build more on this. . .🤔🤩✌🏾💯
Noritaka Funamizu and Masahiko Nakahira former Capcom creators, could connect the dots if they wanted. But there is no canon connection except for where they trained
Nay. Akuma is Ryu and his mother is Kazumi 😅😅😅 Making Ryu affinity with the Dark hado stronger since he has a diluted devil gene from Kazumi. kazumi brought him to where gouki aka Akuma would train with Gouken, hoping that one day the two would meet. Making Ryu, Kazuya half brother. 😅😅😅😅(head canon but would fit)
well I have the street fighter V cartoons and akuma stays following Ryu but always to fight him never to want to hurt or kill him just to defeat him in a battle, does not want an advantage so he wants right you at his full potential and to embrace the dark HADU
If course he is Ryu's father he just dodging child support for nearly 50 years and Ryu is a old ass dude chronologically. And they both walk with the Stanky leg when they walk in-game
Great video 💯🔥 i love the idea of Akuma being Ryu.s father i hope someday capcom will make this cannon in the Street fighter video games that will be awesome and it will explain why Ryu has the Dark Hadou in he's blood
Ryu and Gouki are not immediate family, but rather distant cousins. Plus, Gouki is Japanese and born with black hair until releasing the Raging Demon; then turns his hair orange piece by piece.
I've been playing Street fighter since I was a kid I'll talk about Street fighter 2 the world warrior I was about maybe 10 or 11 years old and I thought that Ryu was American Japanese.
Maybe even gouki himself also don't know ryu is his son. That why why ryu can managed to tap into the "killing intent" and the best part any street fighter player who follow street fighter 2 to now will kinda wonder why gouki is always drawn to ryu. Another cue taken from star war movie plot😅🤣 Hmmmm
When street fighter corp is almost fully-own by america...the story lines may become more funnier..oh my goodness! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Next chapter : guile is charlie's father. Ken is vega's brother. Chun li is gen's granddaughter. 😂😹🤣🤭🤗
I find it hilarious in the live action, that gouki turned into huge ass buff black dude from a short Asian guy. There's ZERO resemblance lmao At least gouken you can make it out easily
I think Gouken is ryus father. Reason being is he had a wife she walked out on them I think she didn't realize she was pregnant when she left and then when Ryu turned a certain age she abandoned him on his father's doorstep without gouken ever realizing that was his son he raised.
I don’t think akuma is his father. It’s too convenient darth Vader skywalker deal. I think Ryu is just what they say an orphan that’s a fighting prodigy. I don’t think the satsui no hado is a devil gene equivalent. I think it could be anyone who practices shotokan martial arts. There’s a reason it’s an affliction for Ryu and not Ken and I don’t believe it’s genetic. I think it’s because of the disposition of the warrior. Ken is more the agressive of the two but he doesn’t look to destroy his enemy rather to beat them. Ryu has this inner demon in him tho when he fights. It showed itself vs Sagat whether he was winning or losing Ryu chose to dish a shoryuken that scarred almost killed Sagat
Realy? So why Ken has not that style as Evil Ryu?! Don‘t tell me about Violent Ken …that was made by Bison with his psycho Power! I am sure that Akuma is his Father! That‘s why he has that Power and that‘s why … Akuma never killed Ryu in a fight! Because he wants just to see how much strong his kid becamed! If Akuma wants to …he could kill ryu! And remember also one thing … Akuma saved Ryu‘s life against Bison!
This isn't Cannon that movie is just a live action version of the street fighter alpha generations not street fighter. I'll give you an example street fighter alpha movie Ryu has a brother named shun who isn't Cannon and even the story in said movie isn't Cannon and these movie predate street fighter 4 game and Nothing appears not even in part 5 the only Ryu thats akumas son is Ryo who's takumas son from art of fighting, only thing is that the art of fighting creator was there at the creation of street fighter game dont remember if he participated in part 2.
Also I remember believing SF generations was canon and what you are saying in your video was correct also that Charlie nash was blanka cause the movie also the shun I stated above but they aren't Cannon even if Capcom makes the content. If akuma is Ryu's father it will appear in SF6

I'm a very big street fighter fan. This is epic and awesome to know. Ryu is an awesome fighter and the best. Akuma is cool too. I never thought of this story of Ryu. But it's awesome. Ryu can control his strength and power. Ryu is the best.
Your explanation take me to consider that Ryu 99.9% is Son of Akuma , There's 0.1% we leave it to the SF-Creator who can reveal the Truth of Ryu Father .
Akuma: "Gouken never told you what happened to your father."
Ryu: "He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"
Akuma: "No. I am your father."
Ryu: No... No. That's not true! That's impossible!

From a Ryu ONLY gamer since day one, I love this theory and it makes perfect sense why Akuma wants Ryu and not Ken. He has claim to him thru blood ties. Capcom needs to build more on this. . .🤔🤩✌🏾💯
thank you for watching
Noritaka Funamizu and Masahiko Nakahira former Capcom creators, could connect the dots if they wanted. But there is no canon connection except for where they trained
thank you for watching
Sf assasins is one of if not the best rendition of sf cannon.
I like this theory a lot!!
Yes !!
Nay. Akuma is Ryu and his mother is Kazumi 😅😅😅
Making Ryu affinity with the Dark hado stronger since he has a diluted devil gene from Kazumi.
kazumi brought him to where gouki aka Akuma would train with Gouken, hoping that one day the two would meet.
Making Ryu, Kazuya half brother.
😅😅😅😅(head canon but would fit)
thank you for watching
Alpha generations movie infers that this is the case. Don't know how Canon that is though.
well I have the street fighter V cartoons and akuma stays following Ryu but always to fight him never to want to hurt or kill him just to defeat him in a battle, does not want an advantage so he wants right you at his full potential and to embrace the dark HADU
thank you for watching
If course he is Ryu's father he just dodging child support for nearly 50 years and Ryu is a old ass dude chronologically. And they both walk with the Stanky leg when they walk in-game
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video 💯🔥 i love the idea of Akuma being Ryu.s father i hope someday capcom will make this cannon in the Street fighter video games that will be awesome and it will explain why Ryu has the Dark Hadou in he's blood
i could make a video on that. thank you soo much
There's actually a Japanese anime floating around out there that shows akuma is Ryus father
Ryu and Gouki are not immediate family, but rather distant cousins. Plus, Gouki is Japanese and born with black hair until releasing the Raging Demon; then turns his hair orange piece by piece.
@@Anekix it's been confirmed multiple times that Akuma is Ryu's father.
I've been playing Street fighter since I was a kid I'll talk about Street fighter 2 the world warrior I was about maybe 10 or 11 years old and I thought that Ryu was American Japanese.
thank you for watching
Awesome! Maybe his brown hair made you wonder if Ryu is Japanese-American? Ryo from Art of Fighting is definitely Japanese-American.
Maybe even gouki himself also don't know ryu is his son. That why why ryu can managed to tap into the "killing intent" and the best part any street fighter player who follow street fighter 2 to now will kinda wonder why gouki is always drawn to ryu. Another cue taken from star war movie plot😅🤣 Hmmmm
When street fighter corp is almost fully-own by america...the story lines may become more funnier..oh my goodness! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Next chapter : guile is charlie's father. Ken is vega's brother. Chun li is gen's granddaughter. 😂😹🤣🤭🤗
who knows
Maury Povich:
DNA results are in….
In the case of 18 year old Ryu.
Akuma You are the Father !!!!
It's a technicality
Make sense lol
Ryu = Johnny Lawrence
Akuma/ gouken = John Kreese
Oh course Akuma is Ryu's father, the niece that got kicked off the dojo cuz pregnancy and she was in love with Akuma.
this honestly should just be canonical already. it would add a lot of depth to an otherwise forgettable narrative.
I find it hilarious in the live action, that gouki turned into huge ass buff black dude from a short Asian guy.
There's ZERO resemblance lmao
At least gouken you can make it out easily
thank you for watching
yes Akuma is Rio's father
Super cool
Akuma, Ryu, Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin are cousins connected by the oni/devil gene.
thank you for watching
It makes sense now
This video just popped up as I was goin through UA-cam I'm glad I watched it I've always thought the same and it would make alot if sense as well
Glad you enjoyed the video!! thank you soo much welcome to the fam.
I think Gouken is ryus father. Reason being is he had a wife she walked out on them I think she didn't realize she was pregnant when she left and then when Ryu turned a certain age she abandoned him on his father's doorstep without gouken ever realizing that was his son he raised.
interesting. thank you for watching
That theory presented in this video is pretty solid as well though.
Great video ❤
Glad you liked it!! thank you soo much
Akuma kind of looks like Liam Neeson
if you think about it... thank you for watching
What movie is that?
I don’t think akuma is his father. It’s too convenient darth Vader skywalker deal. I think Ryu is just what they say an orphan that’s a fighting prodigy. I don’t think the satsui no hado is a devil gene equivalent. I think it could be anyone who practices shotokan martial arts. There’s a reason it’s an affliction for Ryu and not Ken and I don’t believe it’s genetic. I think it’s because of the disposition of the warrior. Ken is more the agressive of the two but he doesn’t look to destroy his enemy rather to beat them. Ryu has this inner demon in him tho when he fights. It showed itself vs Sagat whether he was winning or losing Ryu chose to dish a shoryuken that scarred almost killed Sagat
Realy? So why Ken has not that style as Evil Ryu?! Don‘t tell me about Violent Ken …that was made by Bison with his psycho Power! I am sure that Akuma is his Father! That‘s why he has that Power and that‘s why … Akuma never killed Ryu in a fight! Because he wants just to see how much strong his kid becamed! If Akuma wants to …he could kill ryu! And remember also one thing … Akuma saved Ryu‘s life against Bison!
Ken got that power and everyone else out that clan according to the old cartoon Ken just a free spirit and he always knocked Ryu out when he went evil
Ryu and ken, aka double dragon, their father is akuma
I actually prefer if they are not related. The mystery is better an less predictable.
it makes sense in a way. thank you soo much for watching
Akuma is not ryus father ryu never had a father but golden is like a father
I mean they act just alike. Who trains harder than these two?
This isn't Cannon that movie is just a live action version of the street fighter alpha generations not street fighter. I'll give you an example street fighter alpha movie Ryu has a brother named shun who isn't Cannon and even the story in said movie isn't Cannon and these movie predate street fighter 4 game and Nothing appears not even in part 5 the only Ryu thats akumas son is Ryo who's takumas son from art of fighting, only thing is that the art of fighting creator was there at the creation of street fighter game dont remember if he participated in part 2.
Also I remember believing SF generations was canon and what you are saying in your video was correct also that Charlie nash was blanka cause the movie also the shun I stated above but they aren't Cannon even if Capcom makes the content. If akuma is Ryu's father it will appear in SF6
thank you for watching
@@TheFighterVerse no doubt, content was great so was your presentation. Also they way you handled my criticism was great too. You are very matured content creator thank for being the shit and Gshit you got my subscription
If you watch the story Shun was a fake Brother...
if you didnt know street fighter was karate star wars, its karate star wars..
Vader / Luke Vibes. thank you for watching
They shoot fireballs of course its father/son
thank you for watching
Ryu: no that's not true,that's impossible
Awesome video very cool
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm a very big street fighter fan. This is epic and awesome to know. Ryu is an awesome fighter and the best. Akuma is cool too. I never thought of this story of Ryu. But it's awesome. Ryu can control his strength and power. Ryu is the best.
ryu is the best !! thank you for watching
of course, Ryu is Akuma and Sayaka's son. take the dna test and see.
IKR!? Thanks for watching
Let's bring both of them to Maury
@Winterhold Guard LOL!
I have list of people you do not want to be your fathers,....Bruce Wayne, Emperor of Mankind, Akuma,
Giving me real baki vibes
thank you for watching !!
Your explanation take me to consider that Ryu 99.9% is Son of Akuma ,
There's 0.1% we leave it to the SF-Creator who can reveal the Truth of Ryu Father .
thank you for watching
Why that's fans want to see the mystery of ryus origin
Let get it over and bring him to Maury. No one gonna challenge him to pay child support
🤣🤣🤣
We SF fans kinda have to create myths and dictate the story. Some are good, while others turned into dojins (which is also good).
🤣
Akuma.YOU ARE THE FATHER.
