Evil Ryu is an alternate form of Street Fighter's Ryu, first appearing in Street Fighter Alpha 2.
Bio[edit | edit source]
During a fight against Akuma, the latter noticed that Ryu harbored the "Satsui no Hado" - a slumbering surge of the proverbial 'killing intent' that grants the users great power, but also turns them into bloodthirsty monsters that can no longer be considered human. Additional side effects include red eyes, elongated teeth, the desire to be the strongest, and the user slowly turning into a person of color.
As the Satsui no Hado is a perversion of Ryu's actual Kyosi no Hado (lit. Surge of Nothingness, or 'I beat the crap out of you while being completely Zen'), Ryu tries to hold back the killing intent whenever he can. He finally gets rid of it for good in Street Fighter V, but unwittingly spawns the evil Kage in the process.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Evil Ryu was one of the fighters participating in 8chanmania V. He didn't win a belt and never showed up again.
