Akuma Theme Song Remix

[@darkjoker64]

akuma is, and always will be my favorite character

[@Teknanam]

Evil? No. Akuma isn't evil. He just thinks it's OK to fight your hardest and to the death (if your opponent is worthy).

[@Teknanam]

He threw away his humanity for mastering the martial art (and the Shun Goku Satsu) in it's original form. Under Goutetsu's teachings, defeat and death are one and the same since his martial art IS designed to kill. To master Goutetsu's art means to follow that principle. Akuma's willingness to kill reminds me of Mugen from Samurai Champloo. He's a cocky Samurai who when he duels, it's to the death. But I nor alot of SC fans can really consider him evil.

[@EvilRyuGuy]

Akuma isn't evil. He is just a very misunderstood guy.

[@robertico7]

AKUMA=POWER evil master. when he walks, he walks alone when he fights, he fights alone no 1 can stand agains him.

[@EvilRyuGuy]

Power made flesh!

[@Teknanam]

Akuma only fights when his opponent accepts his challenge or gives him a challenge. He won't attack an unwilling person and force them to defend themself. With Goutetsu, it was a "have I surpassed my master?" fight. Goutetsu accepted the challenge and in defeat was proud that Akuma was on his way to mastering their art (including the SGS). With Gouken, it was a battle of ideals really. Gouken rejected the killing aspect of their art and Akuma considered that weak and disgraceful.

[@MrHayabusaSan]

Nice conversation about Akuma here and his alignment :)

[@carlos0259774]

Akuma is an allegory to what a martial artist could become if he loose himself to his evil intentions.

[@Teknanam]

His ultimate goal is to find someone who can defeat and kill him in battle. But it's frustrating to find either strong opponents who won't kill him or hold back their power (Gouken, Ryu) and opponents who would try to and fail. If Akuma senses potential in someone, he will let them live and try and encourage them to get better (via insults).

[@Roderickthegray]

I've been looking for this, nice job man :)

[@wbl_unlimited]

Mixed with the God Rugal theme... nice!

[@LanotapicosaMx]

I like your content

[@ssjakuma]

I look below and I recognize that more than just me understand Akuma. Just because he wishes to use the full extent doesn't make him evil, or bad. It's the rule of the battlefield. Two men compete, one lives. He wishes not to get involved with civilians due to "softening up". Albeit his age, Akuma is only young on the battlefield, and will stop at nothing to achieve greatness. What's wrong with a controlled bloodlust? NOTHING. TAKE IT ALL; LEAVE NOTHING!!!

[@Teknanam]

He's dedicated. So dedicated to mastering Goutetsu's martial art that he threw away his humanity. And despite his obssession, he still has a surprising amount of self-control (unlike SnH Ryu). He won't attack the weak or incapable, he won't attack those who won't fight him back, and he doesn't abuse his power like Bison (which is why Akuma wrecked his 2nd body). He even goes to towns and sells fruit lol Akuma's just selfish and obssessive (he really wants to find someone who'll defeat him).

[@DaUsher]

A rule of thumb for any of Gouki's/S.Gouki's themes...There are always two sides to the music. On one hand (as Gouki/S.Gouki), this music makes you truly live for the fight. On the other...It's pretty much tells you that you're dead...

[@Teknanam]

Yep. Same debate, different vid. Love this remix!

[@qamarzaman4247]

true rage theme

[@Teknanam]

Like I said, to master Goutetsu's martial art in it's rawest form. Akuma probably figured WITH his humanity, he'd never master it. After mastery, he just wants to find someone to take him down. Because Akuma doesn't go around picking fights to the death, attacking random people, or using his power for an evil purpose like Bison (and even oppossing Bison because of his intent), I can't call Akuma an evil being. He's obssessive and selfish, yet adheres to a strict honor code. For me, he's neutral.

[@DaUsher]

Gouki's theme still sounds greater than anything else, no matter how many remixes are are made coz they all own other themes!

[@xenoxaos]

Akuma is the sickest in Street Fighter!!! The song is nice too!!

[@Teknanam]

When I consider things like both parties (master and brother) accepting Akuma's challenge KNOWING the worst case scenario and Akuma's overall honor code, no, I can't call him evil. I consider it Akuma following Goutetsu's martial art to it's fullest. If Akuma had actually attacked them and attacked others, I'd think differently. But he has a strict honor code and will only fight those who are going to fight back.

[@Teknanam]

Heck, only person Akuma is confirmed killing is his master Goutetsu. Gouken and Gen survived the Raging Demon (and Gen was spared a continuing due to his leukimia), Bison (who was targeted because of his ACTUAL evil ways) came back with his 3rd body.

[@ThePsychoguy]

That's cool. Where'd you hear that? I thought it was that boy he saved from the cliff on his island Gokuentou.

[@BHN893]

The only people Akuma kills are those that he deems "Worthy" opponents. In other words, fighters who put up an extraordinary fight against him, and those that he deems have reached their highest potential. For example, if he wins against Sakura in SF4, he tells her to come back when she is ready.

[@Teknanam]

Ryu wasn't seeking to avenge Gouken. He wanted a firmer understanding of what the Satsui no Hadou was, so he sought Akuma. After their meeting and fight, he begin trying to keep it from consuming him. Ken wanted revenge, but I guess he stopped caring after awhile. BTW, saw my comments on your channel?

[@iown4life911]

sickest song for the sickest fighter

[@Teknanam]

The names of his moves lead to the fact that they are destructive and lethal (like how his spinning kick's name in Japanese means slashing or cutting kick). Unfortunantely, I lack either system currently. My friend has it on PS3.

[@Teknanam]

For most games, it's the symbol of "TEN" which means sky or heaven.

[@AiteFiripin]

Hell's new national anthem.

[@esara6]

AWSOME!!

[@DrunkenCoward1]

I agree. The floor needs some serious scrubbing.

[@Teknanam]

As he has said in Alpha 3 "Every victory is a missed opportunity to die". Sorry, I don't have online for my PS2. If I did, I'd have MGS3 and Brothers in Arms online.

[@Teknanam]

They fought and Gouken won. Akuma requested death, but Gouken refused. Akuma trained and challenged Gouken many years later. Gouken accepted again and they fought again (and we know what happened). Outside of Goutetsu and Gouken, Skuma rarely challenges, fighters challenge him. Yeah, I saw some of "The Ties That Bind". Poorly animated, but still nifty.

[@youtuguru]

Many, everybody thinks he's evil. More of a Chaotic Neutral.

[@Teknanam]

In comparison, SnH Ryu earns his USA name "Evil Ryu". He's not so much looking for a strong opponent as he is just wanting to destroy anything around him. A being a pure malevolence really. Their is an official SF Alpha pic of Akuma selling fruit to a child. You can see it in Related Videos (scroll down). I also remember a tale of Akuma taking care of a young boy who fell into his cave and getting him back to his folks, but I can't find a source anymore. So it might just be fanfic. :/

[@azurewitch]

YAY! I LIKE THE PRINCIPAL SOUND! ^o^

[@Teknanam]

Anyway, Akuma believes in the original intent of Goutetsu's martial art (to fight to kill). Gouken took out the killing parts of it (and witheld the Shoryuken) and taught this new style (and new intent) to Ryu/Ken (and a little Dan). Akuma' full ability can kill people, but he only wants to use that on those able to stand against him. Where are those first 2 quotes even from? SNK vs. Capcom?

[@reniisgod]

Sounds like The Prodigy, class version of this theme

[@chickenoncheese]

Akuma = Best

[@jamends1220]

No you're right Akuma isn't evil. He Just loves to fight and has sold his soul to the Satsui No Hado (which is evil.) He is the total opposite to his brother Gouken who was the master of Ryu, Ken and was the master to Dan Hibiki for a short while too.

[@Teknanam]

Gouki has 3 meanings. Who knows which is the one it refers too? And demons aren't neccessarily evil by default (See Devil May Cry). I assume "strong spirit" is the intended reference, but only Capcom knows. Even so, it's just a name. Gouken means "strong fist" and Ryu means "dragon". They aren't literally a fist and a dragon lol

[@5part4]

0.41 wicked pic man

[@Vintagefeen]

SWEAR !.. every Akuma has to have that exclusive Part in 0:36 or its not a Akuma theme !

[@TheUltraNitro]

Yujiro vs akuma would be epic. The worlds strongest creature vs the other worlds strongest creature.Lol

[@Teknanam]

So, you've finally abandoned your original statement on Akuma. Akuma's goal (to find strong, willing warriors to fight to the death) makes Akuma a bit selfish and brutal. That does not make him evil. Those who Akuma fights are those who want to fight him too.

[@backwardsnamestaken]

@TheSavior711 See they should have translated it over. Imagine him saying that instead of "Raging Demon!" in SFIV. I personally think it would be cooler. Or if they just left it untranslated. Nobody says "Wave Motion Fist"... they say "Hadoken!".

[@JoshCobra89]

It sounds so much like Shin Akuma's theme in Capcom Vs SNK 2!

[@TSMK900]

I don't think akuma can die. He stared death in the face and kicked it back like Chuck Norris did. Oh yeah, Chuck Norris vs Akuma!

[@expo1403]

@6robyc Capcom makes all of their characters epic! Just epic. Epic, epic, epic!

[@irwincardozo]

akuma > world

[@jeremylozada53]

Akuma will teach you the meaning of pain

[@Yoytubed]

Sounds like a sonic game-like theme

[@crawdad]

Gloom ur right, while japanese did ORIGINATE from chinese characters after 1000s of years they change into a similar yet completely different set of characters. Japanese are also very nationalistic and as a result they would NOT use chinese characters in this case unless it were contextual which it isnt since Akuma/gouki is japanese and learned Japanese martial Arts, in this case the Fictional Cross breed of Karate and Judo, Ansatsuken.

[@Teknanam]

He didn't have to, but then he and Gouken didn't have to learn the murderous art in the first place. Akuma just follows the teachings of his master. For him, it's disgraceful and a perversion to use Goutetsu's style and vow to not kill. Akuma's code and his fight-to-the-death code is similar to a Samurai code. If Akuma attacked unprovoked and even attacked the unwilling, he'd be evil to me. But I see him like I see certain neutral Samurai.

[@akumamessatsu7074]

sekia koretsuha!

[@sim24687193]

God gave us Chuck Norris but Capcom gave us Akuma

[@bre4kd0wn1]

Maybe Gouki is a man who has a principle of, don't ask for a thing, but ask how to do/make/get it.

[@Teknanam]

Saying "Akuma is evil because he kills people (or attempts to)" is not "a point" or it's not a good one. As I said to him, cops and soldiers would be considered evil by extension.

[@CutieMikell]

@GrobycRocketFist oh thank u...

[@GLegendary]

I would love to see Hanma Yujiro Vs Akuma I think Akuma Might Win but you can't count Yujiro Out.

[@Teknanam]

It was fake. Capcom USA tried to establish Gouki as a demon-possessed martial artist (hence the name change to Akuma which means "Demon" or "devil). Though the fake story went away, the name Akuma stuck.

[@ThePsychoguy]

@WarrenKeingGaw I think Yujiro could be stronger than Akuma but the Shun Goku Satsu and Kongo Koku Retsu Zan might be Akuma's trump card. Yujiro has no problem dodging machine gun fire, I don't think a hadouken would give him trouble, but an attack to his soul like the SGS would put him down and out for sure.

[@M0TZ1]

Fuumatsû Shin Gou Zankûu : TENMA Require 3 lvl bars, damage : 80 % of health, effiency : 100 %

[@nightmareballa1]

sky or heaven

[@soulwrappin]

buddha said he will only tolerate the same provocation 3 times. wonder buddha can survive Shungokusatsu?

[@ArgentFalseking]

wikepedia says:sky,heaven, or providence

[@PrinceAkaiVtuber]

@ThePsychoguy yujiro is just a monster akuma is demon god

[@anirudhkrishnamani]

buddha IS shungokusatsu!! true peace is achieved in death!!! SHIN NO CHIKARA MISETEMIYO!!!

[@Teknanam]

Hey, I'm just using your logic on "Akuma is evil because". So you are using my quote to call your logic stupid-ass (like I did originally). ...lol 3rd Strike quote refers to those unworthy of their power or ability. This is why he tried killing Bison. Alpha 3 quote is a suggestion to a defeated opponent to show how weak they are. But the fact is Akuma's portrayal is he seeks worthy opponents and only accepts challenges from the worthy.

[@jlhsnake]

check out my version of the shun goku satsu move!!!!

[@LEGENDARYDBZSAYIAN]

this sounds like tekken 3

[@CutieMikell]

what the symbol on back stan for???

[@DefiDiboO]

its cool as another song .. howeva it killed main song

[@chino3089]

Messatsu!!

[@Teknanam]

So soldiers and cops are evil? Thanks for that stupid-ass logic. Seriously though, Akuma doesn't kill for the sake of killing. It's just that his strength is so far up that fighting his hardest can kill an opponent. If he's fighting someone who's worthy of facing his true form (Shin Akuma), he considers it disgraceful of himself to hold back just because he might end their life. He's not evil. He's just a warrior who seeks opponents that can match his ability...

[@rockman229]

shun goku satsu

hehe, really? well it better not be like the old live action movie was bull shit!
