Street Fighter Alpha: Generations is a 2005 Japanese animated film produced by
Studio A.P.P.P. and released by Manga Entertainment based on the
Street Fighter Alpha video games by Capcom. Its production is unrelated to 1999's
Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie, which was produced by Group TAC.
The film was produced specifically for the English language market and was not
officially released in Japan until its inclusion as a bonus feature
in the DVD release of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.[1]
Plot
The movie begins with Gouki (as Akuma is called in both, the Japanese and English
dubs of the movie) battling his master Goutetsu. Though both
combatants show equal potency, in the end, Gouki is the victor, killing Goutetsu with
the Raging Demon technique.
Gouken arrives in time to find the mangled body of their master Goutetsu and a no
longer human looking Gouki. Gouken scorns Gouki, telling him that
his path was set for him and asking why he would do such a thing. Gouki steals his
master's beaded necklace and walks away completely unfazed.

Sayaka, unable to reach the fight in time, falls down to her knees and vomits, a sign of
her pregnancy and her connection to Gouki.
The movie then moves forward, introducing Ryu, who is visiting his master's old dojo;
it is there that an apparition of Gouki comes to Ryu and
challenges him. When Ryu comes to his senses, he is greeted by an old man, who
says that he too had just witnessed what was a true demon. The old
man invites Ryu to his house, where Ryu meets his granddaughter Fuka, and offers to
train him. Sakura shows up and spars with him, which encourages
Ryu to accept Gouki's challenge.
Ryu seeks out Akuma, and the fight begins. During their hard battle Ken confronts the
old man and is easily taken down. It is here that old man

tells Ken about the Dark Hadou. He states that the Dark Hadou is a mysterious evil life
force that dwells within certain fighters. As this life
force is exploited it grows stronger until it consumes its possessor. Once the person
is consumed by the Dark Hadou they cannot be released from is
hold. He states that the Satsui no Hadou is ancient, that even old warlords knew of its
existence.
As Ryu and Gouki continue to fight, Ryu becomes desperate and is temporarily
possessed by the Satsui no Hadou. However, he realizes that it is not

the correct course of action and stops using the power. Gouki scolds Ryu, saying to
him that his path to a great warrior had been clouded and that
a true warrior unleashes his full potential. Seeing Ryu as no threat to him anymore,
Gouki unleashes a Metsu Hadouken on him, only to have Ryu
survive it. Gouki then walks away, cursing Gouken and saying that he will meet Ryu
again and fight him. Gouki sees an apparition of Sayaka treating
his wounds in the past before the scene shifts back to the present with Gouki
demonstrating a more human appearance with normal eyes, perhaps
implying that he has regained some of his humanity. Bruised from his fight, Ryu walks
away, foreshadowing a possible battle in the future.
The movie ends with the old man standing, looking to the sky and addressing an old
friend (Gouken). He states that he took his eyes off of a young
child many years ago for a very brief period of time, and it was the biggest mistake he
has made. He states that he is too old, and that his time
has come. Fuka later buries him and prays in tears. Ryu takes one last look at her and
leaves soon after, beginning his travels again.
