Akuma is evil. He just doesnt kill unskilled/unworthy ones. And respect the good fighters. He just doesnt come on a killing spring for the fuck of it, but he will almost kill his opponents.
Alucardjr69 I know Bison is evil. He didn't care if you were strong or weak. If you were in his way, he would kill you. Akuma just wants to test his limits and get stronger. Akuma is like the polar opposite of Ryu. And what about Gill??
The definition of the ultimate fighter; relentless, fearless, ever self-improving, with code of honour; if any fighter wants to consider themselves the best, Akuma is the one to beat! Definitely, my favorite character from all fighting games. Solid 10 out of 10! great and comprehensive video, NS !
No warrior wants to fight someone weaker you only want to fight someone do you consider your equal or better because there is no way you will progress by fighting weaker opponents this is just about true with most martial arts
Actually, you both are wrong. To improve, you need to fight *weaker* (to train on those things you are not strong with, or experiment) You want to fight *stronger* (better/more skilled) opponents, to get inspiration or to improve your A-game And to fight those who are *equal* to have a fair fight
One HELL of a selection on this one. Don't know how you pick em, but always right on. One of the sickest fighters in any fighting game and one of the coolest looking too.
but in recent SF games, he has become much wiser, more powerful, less violent, has good control over the "satsui-no-hado". watch his story mode in SFV, also Ryu & Kage's. the best thing about Akuma is that he is very hard-working, simple, brave, honest & follows the code of a warrior.
Fun fact: Akuma is a fruit vendor just imagine the strongest character in Stret fighter just selling fruits for living he doesnt care world Domination he cares for self improvement and searching for strong opponents.
I think Akuma's ultimate challenger will be himself. In his storyline he will face the struggle to retain his humanity, his mind and control over the Satsui no Hado. But knowing Gouki, he will succeed.
Nah, that would be if he was like Ryu but he has constantly established he has no desire to give in to his humanity, he would do a Dio with all that "i'm throwing away my humanity, Jojo!" If he has the change to it, that's why Oni exists even as a "What if" character, he's halfway there tho, on his SF3 3rd Stike ending he seems to be reaching his Shin Akuma form, even on his normal form he already has white stripes on his hair
The sf 4 devs stated playable oni is a weaker version in which akuma is holding onis power back and pretty much wanting almost begging anyone to kill him. Akuma only wanted to be a strong warrior not unleash a monster that kill indiscriminately Boss oni on the other hand is oni fully taking over erasing akuma
both are wrong as fuck. ive played in the arcades in japan and they laugh at both. i couldn't even pronounce it when they attempted to show me how (i have a thick boston accent) but from what i could gather by the dude that the spoke English was its a one syllable name. ryu not REEYOU. you barley can make out the R sound when they say it.
I think it’s cool how Akuma is kinda like possessed but not fully possessed at the same time. The Satsui No Hado has made him somewhat inhuman but not completely. It’s an interesting aspect of the character
Ascension Yeah man, it’s a small world lol. And yesssss I been waiting for it. Got a feeling he’s gonna start it after he finishes Baki Dou. Dudes gonna love Shozan and Tanba lol
49th..Omg I gotta get back on my streak lol😂imma get back in top 3..you bringing a lot of variety I love it bro💯this reminds me you ready for the New Mortal Kombat
Well, it seems to me that the Japanese almost never get heights and weights right. Even if he were 5'10", with the way they portray his musculature, he would be at least as heavy as Ronnie Coleman when he was winning his Mr. Olympias; 310lbs.
@@KWillo Who weighs 199? Ronnie Coleman was around 300lbs contest weight. I think Akuma would be about the same. Jay Cutler is 5'9" and was about 275lbs contest weight.
@@KWillo Yeah, I just can't go along with the weights they give. I'll tell myself they messed up, even though things are exaggerated, and go on thinking that Akuma is probably around 300lbs. In fact, I wish they just would've made him 6'5" and 400lbs. That would be way cooler for me. lol
@@michaeljmccurdy9449 nah I like the size they have for Akuma.It's more realistic.If he were 6'4" 400lbs , he'd be a big pussy probably instead of a stone cold killer since big guys rarely get tested.lol
Great vid Sage!!!! Have you done other characters from fighting games like Terry Bogard from KOF (Fatal Fury) or Kasumi from DOA???? How about a Ronin Warriors vid?
Akuma was always my favorite street fighter characters and one of my all-time anime characters.It's cool that he's virtually the same size as me as 5'10" and 195 lbs.
You should do all street fighter characters. Including low grade. Then move to other snk like fatal fury. And continue Mortal Kombat. I like your shows because there to the point, tell the story, powers and history! And don't take 2 hours to do it. I would love to see you do more. You've earned my subscription. Thankyou for your work.
Oh okay fighting game characters now. Cool can't wait for more and good job gathering info as I know with fighting game characters it can get a little tricky being a fan of fighting game lore myself.
I see you where listen this was great commentary bro, Oh and for the record I think that Ryu is Akuma son it really does make sense when you think about it.
Awesome one the most badass street fighter characters, can you do a video about asura from the asura's wrath game sometime later since it reminded me of that badass battle between him and akuma from the lost episode.
Do Capcom Asura wrath He’s like Kratos but more powerful and more angrier and he’s in the same universe as street fighter and keep rising tell you hit one million subscribers have a great day
@@givmespace most people don't know and those who do wish they could forget...not really. They were OK I guess. Yeah sadly a decent amount of comics companies were bought by marvel and DC with no intention of using the characters. DC tries at least so I can't hate on them too much.
His Japanese and original name is Gouki for a reason. It's a demon, specifically with red hair, red eyes, and a wide nose; it's a part of Japanese folklore.
Great video my friend it was great! I love Akuma he is my favorite Street Fighter next to Ryu! He is a beast and bad ass! I cant wait for the second Street Fighter movie to come out the new one that explains the origin of Ryu, Ken, and Akuma! It was awesome the first one the first new Street Fighter movie! The maker of the movie plays Akuma in it and he does a great job! He is badass playing Akuma and he got the character down like a mother fucker!! And he is a real like Kung Fu guy with a black belt and everything! I does his own stunts in the movie as well pretty good for a maker of a movie!!
For the record I do understand the cultural meaning and difference concerning the translation of Akuma's name (you know New Sage how I feel about his name, lol). The character on Street Fighter is a beast!!! I think every Street Fighter player has tried their hand at playing the character and even more so has rejoiced in knowing how to defeat the character with their favorite one; I know I have. As always New Sage great video, you always give new and very interesting information. I know GOD continues to bless you and your family in every way with all blessing in the name of our lord and savior JESUS CHRIST; so stay frosty as you are my brother.
He kicked a comet out of the air, sunk a small island and broke a submarine in half while diving out of the ocean. And this is only a few out of many that akuma could do
Oni is a new form of Gouki after he got the True Power of Satsui No Hado and looks scary, very strong, and out of control compared to Akuma and Shin Akuma who were his previous form.
Akuma isn't evil. He doesn't go after and kill the weak. Akuma only goes after the strong. BISON is evil.
He doesn't hunt them, he has no problem killing them tho
Akuma is evil. He just doesnt kill unskilled/unworthy ones.
And respect the good fighters.
He just doesnt come on a killing spring for the fuck of it, but he will almost kill his opponents.
Sage, the name is Japanese. Ah koo ma, not ah kyu ma. You're videos are always entertaining brother keep bringing them. Trinidad fan I am!
Alucardjr69 I know Bison is evil. He didn't care if you were strong or weak. If you were in his way, he would kill you. Akuma just wants to test his limits and get stronger. Akuma is like the polar opposite of Ryu.
And what about Gill??
He didn't go after bison because he is evil he went after him because he uses cheap tricks to gain his power
The definition of the ultimate fighter; relentless, fearless, ever self-improving, with code of honour; if any fighter wants to consider themselves the best, Akuma is the one to beat! Definitely, my favorite character from all fighting games. Solid 10 out of 10! great and comprehensive video, NS !
There's a reason why he's Level 4
- in Capcom vs Snk games xD -
Akuma used a single ground pound to sink a island because Ryu stopped using the Satsui No Hadou during one of their fight
Kid Coheed that was an imperfect version of one of his secret techniques
Which is also his "secret" technique in Third Strike.
FreekyDeeky21 His Raging Demon is also a secret technique.
Joshua Lowe raging demon is the technique of his style not an akuma original it is the symbol of ansatsuken
GnosisZX Correct. Evil Ryu has the Raging Demon, Dark Sakura has it, Oni has it, and Kage has it.
My favorite Street Fighter character
Yeah
Whatever.......... Dan can kick his ass
You are a man of culture 😆 who understands badassness
Resùrêctiõn Del Pântióñ no he can’t take that back lol 😂
@@resurectiondelpantion9268 True
No warrior wants to fight someone weaker you only want to fight someone do you consider your equal or better because there is no way you will progress by fighting weaker opponents this is just about true with most martial arts
Technically wouldn't fighting someone that's better than you, be the same as that other person fighting someone weaker than them?
@@smoothcasanova5082 Yeah... but still. Lol You're just trying to trolly tarnish this logical Principle about MA XD
Actually, you both are wrong.
To improve, you need to fight *weaker* (to train on those things you are not strong with, or experiment)
You want to fight *stronger* (better/more skilled) opponents, to get inspiration or to improve your A-game
And to fight those who are *equal* to have a fair fight
I like when you branch out from comics to other genres. Very dope
One HELL of a selection on this one. Don't know how you pick em, but always right on. One of the sickest fighters in any fighting game and one of the coolest looking too.
Thank you for this video, Akuma is definitely my favorite fighting game character of all time.
Yea me too
Akuma vs itachi
AKUMA IS NOBLE WARRIOR
but in recent SF games, he has become much wiser, more powerful, less violent, has good control over the "satsui-no-hado".
watch his story mode in SFV, also Ryu & Kage's.
the best thing about Akuma is that he is very hard-working, simple, brave, honest & follows the code of a warrior.
My boy akuma really loved that girl but that girl loved his brother instead. That's part of the reason he is so powerful
If I was in the Street Fighter world, I'd master Satsui no Hado and become Akuma's student.
Literally my favorite Street Fighter character of all time. Oni and Shin versions were just icing on the cake.
"A true warrior comes to thee arena with all his power at the ready "
Need I say more....
*AKUMA: A true warrior enters the arena with **_all_** his powers at the ready.*
But Akuma doesn't. He holds back most of the time.
@@gabrielcastejon7914 It's a quote from the movie. ;)
Yeah the really shitty movie....all he does is have an ominous presence,talk shit,an walk away
Remember when he fought asura
@@gabrielcastejon7914 ....... nah, where are you even comming from with that xD
Fun fact: Akuma is a fruit vendor just imagine the strongest character in Stret fighter just selling fruits for living he doesnt care world Domination he cares for self improvement and searching for strong opponents.
When you need to get dragon fruits but the nearest vendor can rip you in two.
@@ansrfururactions "Buy fruit or taste the hado"
I think Akuma's ultimate challenger will be himself. In his storyline he will face the struggle to retain his humanity, his mind and control over the Satsui no Hado. But knowing Gouki, he will succeed.

Man your channel is just plain awsome you cover absolutely everything in incredible detail. Keep up the brilliant work
The sf 4 devs stated playable oni is a weaker version in which akuma is holding onis power back and pretty much wanting almost begging anyone to kill him.
Akuma only wanted to be a strong warrior not unleash a monster that kill indiscriminately
Boss oni on the other hand is oni fully taking over erasing akuma
GnosisZX it's the same thing with playable regular akuma. It's a weaker version
i remember Akuma was a secret character to unlock in street fighter 2 back in the day, character is still OP, good video !
You just took me back in time bro ✌
I see Akuma and I click 😁. He’s one my favorite all time fighters along with Reptile
I remember they implied that Akuma could've been Kazuya's dad considering he had a relationship with his mother.
True and the whole devil gene
Kazuya got his devil gene from his mother.
Don’t be silly. Read the lore. Mom had the gene.
@@spawnedagony nah my bad I was just mentioning it,I think it's a misunderstanding that it sounded like I said Akuma gave the gene
That was massively impressive video. You roll out the best every week. Keep up the good work Sage
He was never called Rai-u
He's always been ree you
Westerners call him that

@@mcstonerdo dude im just stating the most common usage. like calling bison dictator

Love your channel bro. Keep it up. Subscriber for life.
I think it’s cool how Akuma is kinda like possessed but not fully possessed at the same time. The Satsui No Hado has made him somewhat inhuman but not completely. It’s an interesting aspect of the character
Glad your expanding the subjects you cover good work.
Akuma... Nuff said!!! Once again thank you New Sage!!!
Thank you Sage!!... For covering not only comics but characters in movies and video games, you are awesome!!... Glad I suscribed!!...
This just gave me an idea. Could you add Heihachi Mishima from tekken for your list of future vids
On the to-do list! 😎👍

I've been waiting for this one! Thank you, Sage!
akuma is a beast glade to see you doing a review on him.
When he came in and shungokusatsu bison in ss2turbo I lost my shit .....instantly became my favorite character ....i love akuma .....mettsu!!!

Stay with that heat. Keep this going.🔥🔥🔥
Yo I been asking for this for the longest thank you....i can perform all of his moves on any game....my favorite of all time

Shin akuma is akuma using all his power. Oni is the physical manifestation of the satsui no hado

The physics of street fight is ridiculous with how big everybody looks
Wow Akuma got a 10!!! Can you rate Spawn, Kratos, Iron Man and Deathstroke?
More akuma videos keep it up
He kicked a comet out of the air, sunk a small island and broke a submarine in half while diving out of the ocean. And this is only a few out of many that akuma could do
It is naaaught Akuma!!!
Did you get the reference?
Akuma is only one the most iconic video game characters in history
Oni is a new form of Gouki after he got the True Power of Satsui No Hado and looks scary, very strong, and out of control compared to Akuma and Shin Akuma who were his previous form.
Damn right a 10! Put some respect on his name. Tokido is the guy who uses him in street fighter tournaments if you want to see Akuma in action.
