"He has been known to occasionally help people in need."
How so? I'm a casual fan, so I don't know as much about SF as many other people, but I can't remember a single event in which he actually helped another person. It's mostly been him beating the everliving hell out of people, or causing misery for others (i.e. wrecking an innocent freighter). TerminusEst13 4:23 PM, August 25th, 2006

Would it be a fair characterization to say Akuma is a psychopath?--24.217.183.224 19:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
..Not at all. He is quite controlled and has an incredibly well-defined moral code.
Despite his intentions, his attitude, his usage of the Ansatsuken fighting stle and his apparence, you can hardly call Akuma a psycho. For one thing I haven't heard or seen fiction where Akuma goes around killing innocents for kicks. I heard at one point, he saved a child who fell into his cave he was uing for training. His Japanese name,Gouki, can mean "Chivalrous demon" for one thing. MightyKombat 13:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Would it be possible to have it so that when you click on the image of Akuma, you can flick through different images, sort of like a slideshow? You've got the SNK style artwork of him but I really like the Capcom artwork too. Doom jester 13:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Okay. BTW, to whoever's been adding in all the Capcom art though, well done, because it looks awesome.

First off, it's a name, not a real Japanese word like Akuma is, so I'm not sure it needs to be translated. Secondly, I must object to the current translation of "Strong Demon." 鬼 can refer to numerous different supernatural entities, even ghosts and spirits. Similarly, 豪 is much closer to "great" or "powerful" than "strong." I am going to edit this. If you revert, please explain here first. --feitclub 21:13, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
Whereas I do agree that 豪 is more like great/powerful than "strong", in my experience, I have only seen 鬼 taken as the kanji for "Oni". The S 04:40, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Along those lines, I must ask how "ten" 天 in Japanese (sky) looks anything like "jigoku" 地獄 (hell). I must also ask how the "top stroke" of "ten" can ever be made upside down, when it is in fact a straight line. It should also be noted that "ten" is merely "sky" whereas tengoku (sky-country) is actually "heaven". - Nekochan

Shen long is real
Actually shen long is real characters first one is Gouken and the other is alternate version of the Shen long the one who is own the dark side that is Gouki. If you really know street fighter games than look Gouki image in super street fighter 2 when it is display on the vs screen carefully. If you see you will see that Gouki hair style and face represent the some sort of Dragon image.
But dragon image is reflect in Gouki picture in vs title belive it or not.

I never heard any of that, in SFII yes in SFIII yes, but outside of that I never heard any of that. Where is that information from?ShotokanTuning 19:31, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
The Shin Akuma entry in the article seems to imply that Gouki must reach some higher state or plateau to achieve the power that is definitive of "Shin Gouki". I personally believe that this is incorrect, and there's another theory roaming about (noted in Tiamat's comprehensive SF Plot giude) stating that Gouki is in fact Shin Gouki with a merciful attitude. That usually means that Shin Gouki (who is probably one of the strongest fighters in the entire SF universe) holds back punches and voluntarily limits the use of his power (much like Oro with his bounded arm - coincidentally, Oro is also one of the strongest fighters in the SF universe), as depicted in his normal Gouki form.
On a side note, Shin Gouki from CvS2 is not the same Shin Gouki of SF canon, as I understand that the Shin kanji in CvS2 refers to "Divine" (a.k.a. God Gouki), rather than "true/real". Besides, he gains the power in CvS2 from absorbing the Orochi "curse" residing in Rugal...which further creates a complicated crossover plotline.
Note akuma has blue flames in his taunt stance in alpha series so it is possible that in further games he has given ability to use flames with his dragon punch in his shin akuma form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.27.146.254 (talk) 14:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, if you read the japanese Wiki, Shin Gouki si Gouki using even more of the Satsui no Hadou. Although I can't find the official canon on this statement, that's at least another way of looking at it.Machikenka (talk) 09:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Yes, He's still Gouki, what you're saying is just another way of explaining it, he holds back by not using his full power, i.e. more Sns. Our sentences don't contradict. Machikenka (talk) 11:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone seen the ending in Capcom versus SNK 2 where, if you defeat Ult. Rugal with Shin Akuma, it's like the two of them get combined into one super-powerful dude? I can't remember exactly what happens, because I've only done it a couple of times (it's pretty hard to get to see it), but this is for real, I'm certain. I can get a screen grab if you want, although it might take a while. Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you guys know who this Ult. Ruglal combined with Shin Akuma guy is because it's a cool ending. Basically from what I remember he looks a bit like a more powerful version of Shin Akuma but with a bare chest. BTW no, I'm not talking about the ending where Rugal gives his power to Akuma. And as far as I can tell, there's no way of playing as the guy either. Thanks. Doom jester 13:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
I've beaten (the Arcade and Playstation 2 versions of) the game forty or more times, and I've never seen this character you reference. Furthermore, I've tinkered with the entire scope of character-altering hexadecimals, so unless he's very well hidden in the game, I don't believe such a thing exists. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong, though. The S 03:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm... I will go and do some research on this ending, then. I also have the hexadecimal coding for endings, so I will begin there. The S 03:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Uhh... I've beaten both Shin Akuma and Ult. Rugal and nothing like this happens. They just get angry and then get swept up into a void and "disappear." Then you get that character as a playable one. They sort of "combine" already when Rugal absobs Akuma's "energy" or Akuma absorbs Rugal's orochi. -- 66.194.121.226 12:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
For the record, who you fight at the end of the game gives you different endings. To fight Ult. Rugal, Rugal will absorb Akumas power and then you have to fight him. The ending shows Ult. Rugal start to lose his mind because he cannot control Akumas power. After a short struggle, Akuma manages to take over Ult. Rugals body. The end result is a supposed, "God of Fighting" He's got the face of Akuma, white hair, and wears Rugals clothing. But, it's just an artwork, it's not in a sprite form, so, I highly doubt he'd be playable at all
I defeated Uber Rugal using the trio of Evil Ryu, Akuma and Shin Akuma, but I didn't get this ending. Do you have to beat him one on one or something? Silver Fang 07:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello dear sirs and ladies, I am answering your questions regarding the character shown after defeating ultra rugal in capcom vs snk. Firstly I would like to mention is that no, you cannot play with this character, in other words this chatacter is unplyable. he is more of a 'what if' character had rugal beaten akuma and taken his powers. But rugal didnt beat akuma as you alrady know. Secondly I want to answer your question as to the identity of this new character. This character is not rugal, as if rugal by chance had been able to beat and absorb akumas power he still wouldnt be able to control it hence it would destroy him as it shows in the end. What you get is akuma restored with the addition of rugals power in him. in simple words that character is akuma overcoming ultra rugal and reaching new level of power. So both endings are in favour of akuma, because he cannot get peace. The only way he can achieve peace and rest is by ryu and that fight will take some time to take place as it would be the be be all and end all of all fiction fights done ever. Last but not least Gouken, Sheng long and Goutetsu need their own pages in wikipedia and shouldnt be merged with akuma because they are all chatacters in their own right. But more of that next time. Take care
Hi.
Does anyone know what Akuma is saying when he wins in the games that he's in? I'm not sure about all the other games, but in Capcom versus SNK 2 and Street Fighter EX, he has a few different things he says when he wins. One of these, in CVSNK2 sounds something like "Shorsh!". It would be really interesting if there was a section of the article covering his lines from the different Street Fighter games, and what they mean in English.
Cheers. Doom jester 11:41, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
He (Akuma) even successfully pulled off a Shun Goku Satsu on the tournament sponsor Gill, although he left without realizing that Gill had resurrected himself. Whether this event is canon or not is disputed. See the discussion page about Shun Goku Satsu [2]. --81.174.32.62 08:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC) cannon wise akuma uses his shungokusatsu on three people goutetsu, gouken and m.bison. although he even killed adon and his opponent but not using shungokusatsu. he even easily capable to destroy gill but not with shungokusatsu. and thats why gill come too life.because after sgs soul goes to another mostly goes in hell and trap in the hell forever and never come back again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.27.164.254 (talk) 18:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Wrong. Gouki did not specifically use SGS on Gouken. It's unknown.--Kim Kusanagi (talk) 17:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Well it says like that after Gouki defeated Gouken and left him in critical condition. some says Gouken was fall down from the cliff and his body was not found. Its also appear that when ryu or ken in rage search for Gouki. M.bison appeard and take revenge from gouken by killing him. But it is assured Gouken and the Gen are two people who donot die from shungokusatsu.
SGS doesn't actually bring people to hell (a mistranlsation that was explained before the SGS got redirected to Gouki), but of course, we know that Gen blocked it, (Not "received it" as millions of gamers would see) so naturally wouldn't die from it. The Gouken bit is now left hanging because we don't know if capcom's going to say what really (retconningly) happened.Machikenka (talk) 09:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Thinking that the raging demon takes people to hell is missing the point of eastern martial art naming conventions. Does Honda literally turn into a demon when he uses his super? It's just a fancy name. Right now, of all the characters who've had the raging demon used on them, only Goutetsu has failed to return. Gouken and Bison have both returned, Gen ignored it, and Gill just resurrected (apparently).
The Raging Demon seems like a pretty damn sure way to extend someone's life, not end it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.188.69 (talk) 20:10, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Real soul is send to the hell by Gouki. in the street fighter 4 ending we can clearly see the new M.Bison body collecting information from his enemies like Rose, Seth etc about his past. this reflect Real Bison is no more it is only a clone.
If "Ten" means literally sky instead of heaven, what does sora mean? Hackwrench 08:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I'll add to that, It's what he said, but more specifically 'Ten' will mean different things when paired off with different words. 天国 is Heaven, 空 (sora) is sky (with the clouds and all). 空 (Kuu) alone is not sky but (empty) space. BUT 天空 (TenKuu) IS Sky, like as in, the empty space above. Haha, confusing? If you want the most basic physical meaning of what 天 (ten) alone is, then it is the opposite of 地(chi) . Literally The Space Above vs the ground below. So actually 天 alone is actually *not* 'sky'! Surprised? However, 天 is widely used to mean Heaven because so many so many words it links with are connected to Heaven, Like fate, heaven, providence, etcetcetc that many people just look at Ten like it means (connected) to heaven.
And in Gouki's case, it's definitely connected to heaven (*Not* Sky like many people will tell you). And if you understand how Gouki is deeply connected to buddhism, you'll realise that the 天 may very very well signify that he's connected to the heavens in that he is pursuing the path of the Shura, 阿修羅道. I kid you not. I'd go as far as to contrast Gouken's Mu vs His Ten but this is the Gouki page and I shall do so somewhere else.
Well, just something for everyone to know.Machikenka (talk) 06:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
We're talking about a discipline that came from Japan, and knowing that Akuma DID in fact based his mode of combat purely on the Satsui No Hadou. Don't you guys think it's better to say "Satsui No Hadou Ryuu Ansatsuken"? Because if you say "Satsui No Hadou Styled Ansatsuken", then it would have no pure Japanese meaning, but if you guys say "Satsui No Hadou Ryuu Ansatsuken", then it would mean Assasination Techniques from the Intention to Murder. Remember that in this case, "Ken" should mean "Technique" rather than "Fist". So Ansatsuken should mean "Assassination Techniques" or Assassination Routines in this case. Or better yet, Assassination Moveset. So I would have to say "Satsui No Hadou Ryuu Ansatsuken" or "Murderous Intentional school of Assassination Techniques". — Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 03:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I seem to remember a scene in Street Fighter V (The Japanese Animation series of Street Fighter 2) in one of the early episodes (I think it was Trap, Prison, Scream of Truth, but I'm not positive), Akuma has a brief cameo standing in the airport. I remember it because I thought it was so out of place. Given that his other cameo from the series is in it, I think this should be added in the trivia section, although I'm not positive enough in the episode placement to confirm this.--Hawk405359 02:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

In the recent 2005 movie "Street Fighter Alpha Generations" Gouki's backstory hints that he had an affair with Goutetsu's daughter, and that she was pregnant, it is later revealed that she died during childbirth and that the child was handed over to the monk by Gouken. Ryu mentions having run away from a temple when he was little, only to somehow be found by Gouken and trained along with Ken. And the Monk in the movie mentions someone he promised to take care of for Gouken, running away, he also mentions keeping the promise that the boy he took care of not follow in his father's footsteps, related to the Satsui no Hadou. Additionally, it is mentioned that the "bad Karma" known as Satsui no Hadou, has manifested itself in Ryu's and Gouki's bloodline, even Gouki hints at his blood relation to Ryu.

The movie starts by also intro title "orignal story". Although characters may be non cannon but storyline is true.

Many people also belive when akuma come in his first street fighter(s.s.f.t.2) that he is mesterious father of ryu. the reason is that the code is start and end on ryu to select akuma.Similarly evil ryu code in al[pha 2 is linked with akuma.

Change his Japanese name to another Japanese name?
I have a much better theory about that. If you had ever played Super SF2 Turbo (which was Akuma's first appearances), you'll notice he's the only character whose name never appears on-screen. I'm guessing Capcom of Japan didn't tell Capcom USA his real name and back story, so they gave the character their own name and told people he was called Akuma because he was possessed by the devil (which was Capcom USA's original explanation for Akuma's powers) and the name kinda got stuck from Street Fighter Alpha and onward. It makes sense when you consider that he and Nash are the only characters besides the Grand Masters to get their names changed (and new names at that).Jonny2x4 20:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually Akuma is a secret parody to Takuma (Mr. Karate). Capcom had planned all of it since SSF2X. Because in their opinion, the Kyokugenryu Karate follows Ryu and Ken. But not until they created Dan Hibiki they had people's attentions. The two characters finally share the boss state in SVC Chaos. --Mato Rei 23:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The Street Fighter Eternal challenge states that Kongou Koku Retsu Zan translates to "Country Destroying Adamantine Slash". The Street Fighter Eternal Challenge is as official as it gets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.163.126 (talk) 05:32, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
I've read that Akuma left the guidance of Goutetsu's guidance to train in the isles of Samoa. I am interested in knowing where this information is found and what he did in Samoa. MFPen (talk) 22:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
In Street Fighter IV and Super Street fighter IV, Akuma fight his rival Ryu in Hawaii. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.104.197.132 (talk) 06:01, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
In order to avoid another edit war, I have created this. The reception section is too long for something that consists mostly of "Akuma was voted top 10 in this list by this site that isn't necessarily notable." There simply is no reason to have it that long, especially with some obscure and not notable sites being featured there. TheStickMan[✆Talk] 20:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
I see that there has been some dispute over whether or not the article should be trimmed. I figured I could try to help some.
A few of the sources in the article, are not what Wikipedia consideres to be a reliable source. If you don't know how Wikipedia defines a reliable source, this link may help some. Also, there are a ton of examples of which sources have a consensus on reliability at WP:VG/S. Sergecross73 msg me 20:50, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
So then, point #1
Sure, this article could use all sorts of fixing up with rewriting and whatnot, but is there anything else that needs to be discussed in regards to sources or content's relevency? Sergecross73 msg me 13:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry my english, is not good at all xD, but the name translation you were giving to "Gouki" is not correct, "Go" sometimes is used in Japan as an honorific, so you are right It means "Great" or "Greatness", but Ki doesn't means "Demon", also the kanjis you were using, was for the Chinese translation (remember the kanjis means different things in both Japan and China), so you were saying "Gou Gui" in Chinese, this means "Bold Ghost" it's maybe Ok, but in Japanese it means "Great Oni", the Oni is a mitical creature of the Japanese culture and also is a name of one Akuma's transformations in the Street Fighter's series, but still the correct translation for the name is "Great Soul" or "Soul of Greatness", I put this here because maybe you're gonna undo my last edit :P Greetings and hugs for everyone over there!

The following has been added, and then re-added a second time, to the article:
Complex compared Akuma to Heihachi Mishima in a list "Tale of the Lape: Street Fighter X Tekken's A-Alikes", predicting it would be a draw.
Now, Complex is a reliable source, and the info is supported by the source, so I'm not challenging that. My problem is that its not really "Reception". "Reception" is supposed to be a source giving some sort of "review" or "judgement" on a topic. I don't believe this qualifies. All this is, is a person giving their random thoughts on hypothetical predictions on a hypothetical fight between two fictional characters. There's no real content or context either, just "both guys are tough" ramblings. It contributes nothing to the article, and gives no real value or judgement upon Akuma.
Thoughts? Sergecross73 msg me 14:04, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I'm okay now with that. DisturbedAsylum — Preceding unsigned comment added by Disturbedasylum (talk • contribs) 16:15, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Cleaned up the reception section, reducing the total number of citations therein from an insane 80 down to 35. Many cites were from excessive repetition of several sources, some for the most trivial of reasons. There's only so many "best Street Fighter character" rankings needed. sixtynine • speak up • 23:52, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
