Street Fighter Origins: Akuma (Hardcover) (1)

If you're a big fan of Akuma from street fighter I would recommend this book!

The story is good i like the design and direction of the story yet it feels a bit rushed tbh

If you want to know all about Akuma and how he came into the ansatsuken style and how and what drove him into the satsui-no-hado. Then buy this book.If you are a street fighter fan and just want to know this guys story buy this book.If you played Akuma one time in mvc and managed to get that raging demon to connect and loved it buy this book.Otherwise why are you even reading this?

A great read describing the origins of Akuma and his seduction to the Dark Hadou. This book includes the 20+ year development of Akuma as a child, to his training with Goutsetsu and more, but there are several gaps in the story that makes one scratch their head, including not revealing how he learned certain killing techniques that made him famed and feared in the Street Fighter world.Nevertheless, the art is extremely detailed and a worthy addition to UDON's Street Fighter comic line. Includes easter eggs and fan service for any Akuma fan. Would certainly recommend this to anyone who's a fan of SF or Akuma, but don't expect a full origin, this graphic novel catalogs bits and pieces of Akuma's life from childhood to at least 10-15 years before his "killing" of Gouken.

Akuma/Oni has been my favorite antagonist in Street Fighter along with Ryu/Evil Ryu being my favorite protagonist.

I've always wondered about Akuma's origins. Reading this was pretty much everything I sought out. I think this would make an amazing screen play if Capcom were to ever give fans a truthful Street Fighter movie. Another reader mentioned that he wished it were longer and I couldn't agree more. It's a good read and I'll probably be re-reading this over and over again.

Great story and beautiful artwork, seeing Akuma before he was a demon was interesting.

Llegó en perfectas condiciones y el libro está genial muy buenos gráficos exelente

Valeu a pena comprar esse título com uma grande arte e uma grande história me surpreendeu porque saiu do comun e fez jus a esse grande clássico do vídeo game uma história muito bem trabalhada na minha opinião

Il libro è nuovo come dice il catalogo, sigillato nella plastica, un pezzettino dell'angolo si è un po' piegato, immagino per il trasporto. Se l'avesse comprato dalla libreria secondo me sarebbe stato più maneggiato quindi più piccoli danni, ma così come è arrivato, non dico perfetto ma ci siamo quasi. il pacco è arrivato il giorno dopo ed è stato ritirato da un Amazon hub, comodissimo e velocissimo per chi non ha la portineria con l'orario lungo. Errore mio durante l'acquisto e l'assistenza al telefono è stata velocissima e gentilissima a verificare ed aggiustare tutto.

The media could not be loaded.  Digamos que la historia cumple. Te cuenta cómo surgió Akuma, la rivalidad con su hermano y su conexión con Ryu. No es entrañable ni sorprendente, no tiene "alma". Faltan detalles psicológicos y circunstanciales que le den peso a los motivos de Akuma para convertirse en el peleador insaciable que es. No es que no los cuenten, sino es que son insuficientes o muy rápidos. Sin embargo, me gustó mucho el arte del dibujo y el formato del cómic en pasta dura. El empaquetado del envío permitió obtenerlo en buenas condiciones. Ah, y el precio fue inmejorable, no pude desaprovecharlo.

Amazing origins story with a great twist, highly recommended.

High quality production from UdonNo need to go into plot (The book title says it all) needless to say it is basic and solidI've always liked Udon's Street Fighter series since it first came into publication, as it fleshes out the mythos on the characters that many of us have grown up with. The only draw back on the series as a whole has been the artwork, some of it is absolutely fantastic whereas some of it is quite the opposite, making for a jarring visual continuityNot the case with this one though, Joe Ng and team masterfully handle the visuals throughout, lending to a continuous narrative (a lot of publishers keep forgetting this) and it is further amplified by the large format of the book which makes the action scenes pure eye candyThe only gripe I had, was that it was that interesting, that I read the whole thing straight through - I wish it could have gone on for longerRecommended if you are a fan of either Akuma, Street Fighter or the Udon books in general - well worth it
