## Bio

Back in 1991, arcades were starting to decline and die out, it was hard to keep arcades alive when you could just buy a home console and play games at home. but then, there was one series that revitalized Arcades and peaked people's interest, and that game, was Street fighter! and the main character of that franchise was the Satsui no Hadō powered fighter, RYU!

That's right Ryu, anyway, Ryu, originally called *Ryūichi,* is a hero from the fighting game we just discussed, Street fighter, he was trained by Gouken, the older brother of Akuma, one of the main villains of street fighter, who killed Gouken. So Ryu's skills had to be put to the test in the challenges he soon had to face.

Ryu's fighting style is based on karate, one of the most famous martial arts in history. In battle, Ryu remains calm while fighting, HECK, his name means "Prosperous" or "Noble" in Japanese! Not to mention his creator, Takashi Nishiyama, wanted Ryu to symbolize a true Japanese martial artist now this doesn't mean he doesn't let loose sometimes, heck there is whole form dedicated to him letting loose, but we get there when we get there, right now, we're talking about Ryu's backstory.

To prove his strength, Ryu entered a Tournament, the *Street Fighter Tournament,* and fought against numerous foes like Geki, an anonymous ninja who fights with ninjutsu and illusions, Birdie, a giant bouncer who uses a combination of wrestling and boxing techniques, and finally, Sagat, the greatest Muay Thai fighter there is that is striving to become the best in the world. and Ryu had to defeat all of them to become the strongest, and he succeeded!

Ryu is determined to become a master of his fighting style, he has a drive to improve himself, no matter the cost. he constantly tries to prove his strength, and he kind of has multiple times in the series, Like in his fight with Bison! Bison is a very powerful villain, especially with his Psycho power, which has given him almighty abilities, but has expunged his humanity. He almost Possessed Ryu, But through the power Friendship, he Defeated Bison and finally destroyed him...Until the next Game. But for now, Ryu has a bigger problem. Akuma's back. And he is one of the baddest mamma jammas In Fiction.

His Plan is simple, to Lure Ryu into succumbing to the Satsui no Hadō and lose all Humanity. And what Would happen if he succumbed? Two words: **DARK RYU.**

Dark Ryu is a form of Ryu that just lets loose and completely drops the idea of humanity, and spits on it, and then steps on it a few times, in that order. He may still be a strategist, but don't be mistaken if you think he is anything except a killing machine! this guy would make Bison look like a pre-school teacher! He is on the same level as Akuma with this form, he can punch so hard he pushes half the moon back into place! The only burden this form has other than losing humanity, is that he is disappointed BECAUSE HE CAN NO LONGER FIND SOMEONE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE HIM ON!

Dark Ryu is pure Evil Incarnate, so if he is released, it's bad. so, Akuma trying to release that is bad, so Ryu needs to stop him. so, they go into the battle of a lifetime! But Akuma is no stranger to the Satsui no Hadō, considering he also uses it, so Akuma was actually starting to overwhelm Ryu with his abilities. But Ryu had one last trick up his sleeve before he went down: The Power of Nothingness was a power Ryu always had, but never could control. it was the only thing preventing the Satsui no Hadō from taking over and unleashing Dark Ryu! since it was able to defeat the Satsui no Hadō, which is Akuma's main power source...Yeah, Akuma didn't last much longer after that.

The Power of Nothingness is basically the opposite of the Satsui no Hadō, It uses Light energy, the Satsui no Hadō uses Dark Energy, it makes you free of fear, anger, pride, and ego, the Satsui no Hadō turns you into a savage murder machine. They are polar opposites. and after Ryu got a hold of the Power of Nothingness, he was finally able to make sure He would not turn into Dark Ryu unless it is the absolute last resort!

And It was then, after he had mastered both the Satsui no Hadō and The Power of Nothingness, he had proved he was the greatest fighter of them all...Until they make a sequel.
