[Fighting Stadium, Thailand]

"Adon, your match is cancelled."

It was another Street Fighting stadium in Thailand, and as the new Emperor of Muay Thai, Adon had to accept every challenger, whether weak or strong. This was his first match as the Emperor, so he had to really impress the crowd, for they hardly believed that such a man was able to defeat Sagat. Adon himself didn't know if he had actually defeated Sagat. Sagat seemed too lost in his daydreaming to focus in his fight with Adon… but it didn't matter to Adon. He had won, and that's all there is to it.

"What the hell do you mean, cancelled?!" Adon shouted at the man who was running the stadium.

"Well, it's quite odd..," the man said. "Since your challenger was from Japan, he was on the way to Thailand but got killed before he even reached the airport."

"Killed?" Adon said angrily, "what a goddamn weakling….and by who was he killed? Don't tell me Ryu is a killer."

"No," the man said. "The defeater of the last Emperor has no killing records."

"You never know," Adon said. The man nodded ignorantly.

"The killer tends to be a very powerful man named Gouki," the man said. "They have had previous records of him throughout Japan."

"Gouki, huh," Adon memorized the word, "Why'd he kill me challenger?"

"I had word with a governor and he says they've had several murder cases in Tokyo, Kyoto, and many in Yokohama," the man said. "Every other Street Fighter being killed. But the odd thing is that only the fighters are being killed. It seems that this man seems to be looking for a challenge rather than going around being a killing machine which he seems to be."

"Hmm…," Adon thought. "Well, now that my match is cancelled and the crowd is disappointed, I might as well let out my anger on this Gouki fag. Next flight, Japan."

"Whatever you think is best for you," the man said. "I'd be careful if I were you. That man—he's known to kill with the power of Immortality, Sky, and Heaven all at once…"

"Too bad I can't make sense out of that," Adon said, "Looks like I'll have to go see him to find out."

Adon stuck his long tongue out at the man and dashed off suddenly.

[Shadaloo Sub-Base, China]

"Hyyyyyaahh!!"

Wham!

Chunli kicked the thug straight in the face. And then swung around and performed another kick. The thug went flying off to a distance as a pair of three more thugs jumped Chunli. She leaped back to dodge a fist and formed energy between her hands, releasing it and hitting them all in a single shot. She looked around, and saw another thug who was barely even visible, standing far in a distance on a platform that was so high it supported a ladder to climb up on. He was aiming a long gun at her. Knowing that he had been spotted, the man pulled the trigger to see Chunli easily move away, expecting that to happen. The man then launched a couple of bullets but Chunli dodged them all.

Suddenly, another thug caught her from behind and pulled her towards the gun, while the other thug once again perfected his aim upon her. In that while, Chunli had already managed to escape the grasp of the thug and leaped behind him as the other thug fired a bullet straight into his assistant. Missing closely, Chunli ran towards the thug with the gun quickly and before he knew it, she had already fixed his foot up his chin, causing him to fly up head-first and crashing into his secret hideout, also head-first. Chunli knew what to expect, and quickly jumped off the platform, escaping a devastating explosion.

"Phew," she said. "That was…close!"

But Chunli soon realized it wasn't over. She heard a gunshot behind her and turned around to see rather than thinking fast and moving away in case a bullet was flying towards her. But to her relief, she noticed there was no bullet coming at her. Instead there was yet another thug who had just fired in the air, for his aim was misplaced by another man. This man, as Chunli observed him, looked quite old, late in the ninety's. He had a very white beard, and was wearing blue clothes. She analyzed the man's hand, who he was forming in two front fingers open and the rest closed like a fist. If he could move a heavy gun with only two fingers, he must be strong!

"What the—HELL!?" the thug holding the gun shouted. "I was opposed by this old coot? You …!"

The thug, underestimating the old man, tried to punch him but missed before he even tried. He then aimed his gun at him and shot bullets. Chunli noticed that this was a machine gun—a very fast one, too. But it meant no harm to the old man, who dodged each bullet before they even came six inches close to him. He was this fast. Chunli did find this old man familiar, as she thought back to her memory. She couldn't remember, though.

As she looked again, the old man, finally trying something new instead of dodging the bullets, rolled on the ground. Before the thug could shoot down at the ground, the old man already rolled next to him and shot (with once again only two fingers) his hand at his gun, making it fly off. He then slapped the thug around with a single hand, not making any serious hit judging by the thug's stamina of falling in only five hits.

Impressive, Chunli thought.

The old man looked at her, and also seemed to be trying to remember her. It seemed like they both found each other familiar, yet didn't know for sure. Chunli finally walked over to him after a long minute's waiting.

"Excuse me, sir," she said, trying to be polite, "but what is a man like you doing here?"

The old man closed his eyes, and responded, "If I may ask, what is a woman like you doing here?"

Chunli smiled. "I work for I.C.P.O., and this is supposed to be one of Shadaloo's hideouts that I was supposed to look out for."

"I see, so you're Chunli," the man said slowly, after studying her face.

"Huh?" Chunli said. "So you do know me…who are you?"

"I….am Gen," he said.

Chunli thought back. An old man named Gen. And then she finally figured it out; this was Gen, one of her father's friends! She remembered him very well now. He looked a lot older than he used to be. She remembered the younger Gen, who used to play with her, and even take her out to the market and buying her almost anything she wanted without the concern for money. But she did know that Gen back then was suffering from an unknown disease. Her father usually kept him sleeping whenever he came to the house, because he was so wickedly yellow. But even back in those days, Gen used to smile a lot, especially with Chunli. Now, as she looked at the present Gen, it seemed that the kindest smile she had ever seen had been erased from his face. Did he still have the disease? Back then Chunli didn't know what the disease was, and didn't care since she was only a child. But now it seemed that the disease had just wrecked up this once very nice man's face.

"Gen?!" Chunli said, surprised. "Gen!! Oh my god…where were you all these years! I…I have so many things to talk to you about!"

"Let's talk back in my cabin," Gen said slowly, breaking into sudden coughs. The poor man seemed hardly alive. "It's really close to here."

"Oh, all right," Chunli said quickly, "So that's why you were here. Come on, I'll take you there."

[Gen's Domain, China]

"You still have it, don't you?" Chunli asked about the disease. She waited for Gen to take his time to reply. It seemed that his throat was completely dry.

"Leukemia, yeah..," he said slowly. "When I fight, it worsens."

"Then you shouldn't fight," Chunli advised. "Remember what father told you?"

"Yeah," he said. "I heard he died."

"How did you know..?"

"Newspaper."

"Oh," she said. "..do you know who killed him?"

"If the newspaper and daughter of the man can't tell, how can I?"

"I thought that by joining the I.C.P.O., I might find out someday who killed my father," Chunli said. "So I joined it just to see if I can one day meet that man who did. When the time comes, I'll be ready for it."

"Heh, still strong-spirited, you are," Gen said. "Just like you'd always been."

"It was you who grew me up to be like that," she laughed.

"Well if I didn't teach you to be hyper and grow up to be a fighter, you would have been a completely new person, not have even joined the I.C.P.O."

"Yeah… so now I'm assigned to Shadaloo, a very dangerous threat to many countries, including China."

They didn't talk for a moment, while they both looked back to the past things they had done. It was quite odd, though. At that time Gen was still as spirited. He was old back then, but looked as young as ever. Since his disease was young, he didn't have much change in his shape. But now that the disease was taking over his body and Gen refused to give up fighting, it seemed that Gen had finally reached his age look. But as Chunli thought back to the past battle about the thug, she noticed he was still as much strong, still as fast, still as experienced as ever. He had always been loyal to her father, always preventing him from thuggish neighbors that came to bother him and sometimes even Chunli. At that time Chunli had gotten tired of it and Gen, with the permission from her dad, began teaching her some of his moves. It was quite strange though, how such an unstoppable fighter would give out even a prickle of his fighting style. But Chunli merely learned the techniques, not how to fight with the soul.

"Gen Dan Satsushu," Gen spoke out after a while. "Remember that?"

Chunli quickly read the words. Gen Dan Satsushu…. Gen's legendary Murder Kick. This was the attack that Chunli prized most out of everything Gen had taught her during her childhood. However, due to not being strong and well-balanced enough at that time, Chunli had never completely mastered the move. After she had been convinced that her father had died, she began training by herself, since she had to live by herself as well. She had tried to perform this technique many times… flipping herself upside-down and spinning in a round-house kick. But she kept failing so much that she eventually gave up, and forgot how to do the move. She still knew how the move was done, but didn't remember how to start it out in the steps that Gen had advised her to.

"Gen," Chunli said, "why didn't you teach me the complete style you use? You only showed me a couple of tips and moves at a time or another…"

"Good question," Gen said, looking out the door of his cabin. He thought for a while, and then answered, "the style that I use, it is invincible in a way. So powerful, many people abuse their powers with it. And look at me now… I live to fight. I don't want any one else to suffer such a life, especially in today's modern era."

"I see…," Chunli didn't need to argue. She knew what Gen meant. She had seen Gen fight back in the days, although he was going easy on all the people he fought. He was a man who could never be described. Such intense experience running through his every fingertip, it was unbelievable how one could surpass mankind.

"What plans do you have next? Is there an enemy after you?" Chunli said, currently setting her mind on the words, I live to fight.

"Plans…," Gen wondered. "I wish I had time for those. But I don't want to die by this damage inside my body. I want to die…in a true deathmatch. A match that would end in my own death."

"Don't say that…," Chunli said.

"It's the only formal way of describing it, lass," Gen replied slowly. "I have many enemies, but what I look forward to is not my enemies. I look forward to my rival, who awaits me in Japan. I expect my own rival to defeat me, and I would rest in peace by only the feeling of his fists crashing my body, erasing all my pains. But I will not go easy on my rival, although I have high expectations… this is the only easy way to define a deathmatch. One would describe death in a deathmatch a victory instead of a loss."

Chunli rewinded back to Gen's words. She wondered about it…a fighter's life is never-ending. And every fighter seems to have a story behind. The philosophy of a fighter could be deeper than any other philosophy on earth…couldn't it? Why did a true fighter such as Gen sweat for years to build strength, just to have a worthy battle in which the result would be their own death? Why did fighters choose this path?....But then again, there his a story behind every fighter…

"My life grows weaker," Gen said. "I must go to Japan by tomorrow. Come, Chunli, we shall learn the technique outside."

"Are you sure you're okay?" she asked.

"You should not care," Gen replied, getting up and walking over to the door.

Chunli took that as a yes, and followed him out of the cabin and to a nice sandy opening. The sun was setting. It was very beautiful how the sea was always silent when the sun sank to the other side. Very quiet, and a perfect time to set your mind to yourself, the point of believing in yourself. And that was when your fighting spirit also rose. This was the perfect time, to actually have a full-force fight.

Gen raised one hand and pointed the fingers toward his direction, signaling Chunli to come give her shot. And so she did, dashing at him and kicking off the sand from the ground as hard as she could, resulting in a high leap. When she stretched her leg outwards in the leap, Gen quickly jumped up and grabbed her, struck her down on the sand and leaped off. She quickly noted this move as one of Gen's most prized sources of beyond humanity. She had seen Gen perform it many times.

"When you fight, you don't just focus on your attack," Gen advised, "the opponent can always have a counter to it. That is why putting all you possess in a single move can be dangerous, because you cannot stop yourself when the counter is exposed."

Chunli stood up and wiped the dust off herself. Although Gen looked quite different from before, his fighting potential had increased by a huge amount. He nodded at her, as if reading her mind.

"The Gen dan satsushu is performed by first placing both hands on the ground, and raising your feet in the air from the back at the same time," he continued. "Your balance has to be at the point of excellence in this moment. Then you must use both the power of your two hands pulling away from the ground and the active wind around your feet, to be able to throw yourself upwards, defeating the gravity. The winds around your legs must revolve in a circle, which is the only reason why you are able to stay in the air for a while. To make the wind revolve, your legs have to revolve as well. The motion of your revolving has to stay fast, and at the same speed as well, no more and no less. It has to be balanced. This is the Gen Dan Satsushu."

"So, you mean that the revolving of my legs is equal to the revolving of a helicopter's wings, which make it fly?" Chunli wondered.

Gen nodded. Then he gave her the signal of trying out the technique. Chunli dived, and performed exactly what Gen told her to. She switched her balance on the ground from feet two hands by flipping upside down, and moved her legs in a circle fast enough, and, with the support of the wind flowing around her, pushed herself off the ground and rapidly flew upside-down across the sand. However, she only was able to keep herself up for three seconds, and fell head-first on the sand. Coughing loudly, she was unable to escape from the floating sand until Gen slashed it away.

"That was good," Gen said, and broke into some words that really had an impact on Chunli's mind, "Some day, Chunli…the Gen Dan Satsushu will kill your deepest enemy…It will... almost summon a power that is indestructible… Now, try again! One, two, three!"

One day later…

[Sea Shore, Japan]

Following the evil chi of Gouki throughout the country, it seemed that Ryu was stuck. He gazed upon the island a long way across the sea. It was so far away, Ryu could only notice it by its reddish, flamey color. He was positive that the chi was coming from there. But what could be there? Gouki? Why did Gouki decide to rest in an island? Ryu didn't care, he wanted to get there and avenge his master's death in his madness. However, he needed something to get there. He looked around and spotted boats, and two men standing beside them. Ryu walked down and looked at the two men, and they looked back. One of them was hardly clothed—and Ryu recognized him as….Adon!

"Ryu?" Adon said, amazed.

"What are you doing here?" Ryu asked. Did Adon want revenge for being defeated back in the Street Fighter 1 tournament?

"I am going to that island over there," Adon said, pointing at the same island that Ryu was planning to go to. "Its name is Gokuento…"

"That island?" Ryu asked, "But what do you want to go there for?"

"Well, aren't you interested?" Adon said teasingly. "You want to go there as well, huh…"

"Do you know Gouki?" Ryu asked.

"Gouki," Adon nodded, and faced the island. Then he pointed out, "The chi's strong…huh…"

"Almost evil," Ryu said slowly. "How do you feel it?"

"Every warrior can feel chi," Adon said. "They don't know it, but they can… but this one is an odd one. Makes you wonder."

"Sure does," Ryu agreed. "What do you want to do with Gouki?"

"I want to see just how powerful he is," Adon said. "Perhaps, after I defeat him, my name of Emperor will rise even more."

Ryu blinked. "Emperor of Muay Thai?"

Adon nodded. "You didn't know, right. Sagat was too weak to hold the title any longer. Now I will make our country fill with pride."

They stood there, staring at the red island of Gokuento. Ryu thought, was Adon strong enough to defeat Gouki? Was he himself strong enough to defeat Gouki?

"What about you?" Adon asked.

"Huh?"

"Why do you want to go there?"

"Oh," Ryu said. "…he killed my master. I want revenge."

Adon thought about what Ryu said. "Tough luck… he seems strong. An apprentice whose master was killed, seeking for revenge. Are you confident that you will be smarter than your master and find a way to defeat the bastard?"

"I might not make it out alive," Ryu said calmly, "but as an apprentice, I must do this. I might not make it out alive, but this is my job."

"It's gonna be a long night of battling," Adon said. "If you can't beat Gouki, I'll back ya up, k?'

"No," Ryu said. "This is my own fight. I must fight by myself. If, however, I die, then you can declare your own battle with him."

"Hmph," Adon said, "And I thought I was being friendly after how you beat the crap out of me back in the Street Fighter tournament."

"I didn't really," Ryu said, "It was a friendly battle of two competitors. Every battle involves pain, of course."

Adon nodded, and then asked him, "You got some money? The boat's price is too much and this bastard isn't lowering the price."

Ryu smiled. "Sure thing."

After paying the price, they both hopped on the boat and jetted off to Gokuento. Ryu thought, like Adon had said…it's gonna be a long night.

[Gokuento (Gouki's Island), Japan]

"The victory of being defeated…."

"When will that day come?"

The illuminated island was a very eerie one. Gouki was standing on top of a tall rock-pillar. On the island's ceiling was a large, almost round hole that it seemed Gouki had created during firm training. Gouki, standing on the pillar, stared out of the hole, and rested his eyes on the shining, blue moon. Besides being shiny, the moon always looked rather empty. Gouki connected the moon to himself. He tried to illustrate the face of a man that is strong enough to defeat him, someday… but the moon always looked empty. Who could the man be?

"It will be you, master," Gouki said to himself. But suddenly, the mark on his back lighted up. The mark…天…. It glowed so unstoppably that Gouki knew someone other than himself was present in Gokuento.

"It's about time," Gouki said, not caring to look back and see who.

About a distance away from Gouki, on the ground, stood a very old man. It was Gen! Looking back at him, Gouki took notice that Gen looked older and weaker than ever. Or did he look weak? Right now, Gen's spirit seemed nearly invincible.

THIS…is my quest, Gouki thought. You are the one, Gen. You are it.

"Indeed, I am," Gen said, as if reading Gouki's mind. "It is time, Gouki. I set you to rest."

Gouki didn't show any change in emotion, but paused for a while, and leaped off the pillar he was standing on, landing on the rocky ground, crushing his feet nearly a foot within the hard earth. He was that strong.

"We shall see about that," Gouki responded.

"No doubt," Gen declared, "The pain within your heart is more pain to others. The mark on your back, Ten, it may suck you up as well, Gouki. Are you so sure that the Raging Demon will not backfire?"

"The mastery of a fist is what it takes to control such an attack," Gouki said. "That is why it only takes evil to control evil."

Gen paused. Then shouted, "You're wrong!"

"That is your weakness, master," Gouki said, "Your declining to someone's belief. You might not even defeat me."

"You are weak, Gouki!" Gen shouted back. "What you say…that you are evil…I know you're not. You are a lone warrior seeking a death match.."

"Believe as you may," Gouki said, "But it's time that we settle a battle."

Gen paused again. After thinking for a while, he decided not to respond. It was time….to battle. As he fixed up a stance of Sou-ryuu, standing on both feet, he thought if Gouki was evil. Was he? Gouki killed his master, Goutetsu. He killed his brother, Gouken. What would a killer of his own loved ones be called besides evil? Gouki is an overpowered warrior with the thirst of the fifteen demons…or the Raging Demon. This own attack, someday, might kill Gouki himself. It was the only possible end to Gouki. His defeat by a warrior, or his defeat by himself.

Shun Goku Satsu… Pure power… end in my own defeat…heh… I'd like to see the day.

Suddenly, Gouki's body began to shake rapidly, and he suddenly flashed over to Gen quickly. He was so fast, his body traced his illusions wherever he went with the quick-moving skill. He then thrust a vigorous fist at Gen, whom grabbed it in his hand, and casted Gouki into a solid wall, causing it to break down into rocks. Gouki used his chi to mentally blow the rocks away from his body, and flashed a distance from Gen.

Better boost up that power… old man…

Gouki blasted in the air like a rocket, high above, and turned over with his head facing the ground as he rocketed back down, right above Gen. Understanding Gouki's attempt, Gen formed a different stance than before. This time, he was standing on one foot, and his hands were in different level ordering.

Ki-Ryuu…his second fighting style…

As Gouki approximated Gen, driving through the air with his fist ready to cause a devastating explosion, Gen kicked off the ground and connected with Gouki… It was a very terrible scene. Gouki flung his fist; Gen attempted to grab Gouki, and he did so. Although Gouki's fist missed Gen, its force struck the ground and caused breaking rocks to fly up. One of the large rocks hit Gen, but Gen avoided to focus the pain while he struck Gouki down on the ground once… twice… and three times!

That technique… Jyakouha…

Leaping off a distance, Gen rested while Gouki had the time to recover. The rock had hit him hard on the shoulder. But Gouki stood up in no less than five seconds. Due to the instense power In Gen's triple-strike on Gouki, the island seemed a wreck. Many of the rocks had been destroyed. Their powers were beyond human.

Gen crouched low, and formed into a ball, and rolled across the ground. Upon reaching three meters away from Gouki, he flung off into the air and un-rolled himself, his hand reaching out to strike Gouki. Gouki, however, took note of the move, and traced it in his mind as Gen did exactly what he thought.

Jyasen…The user rolls on the ground like a wheel, unrolls during approach of enemy, with an instant-attacking form during the transformation...

You will have…

…two fingers open for attack, in order to avoid full impact…the attack, instead of going horizontally or vertically…goes straight in. Yes, this is your move…this is Jyasen.

Knowing what will happen, Gouki blocked Gen's two fingers with a defensive arm, and used the other hand to strike in the attacking core. BANG.

The blow was dynamic. Since the attacking core between the two fighters was being really packed with energy, it caused a whirlwind between Gouki and Gen, which mainly grabbed Gen and pitched him in the air. About to hit the ceiling violently, Gen quickly kicked it and rolled onto the ground safely, away from Gouki.

That power…, Gen thought. …Gouki knows what he is doing…. Jyasen… the rapid wind that is being formed because of the rolling, when the user rolls into the air and unrolls, the wind behind him strikes the opponent, causing him to hold back. The user then aids the wind with a two-finger strike…but even knowing how the technique is done, the opponent cannot defend or counter the move. How did Gouki do it?

But Gen didn't have much time to think through. Now it was Gouki attacking him. Gen switched his stance once again, back to the normal two-feet standing. Noting this fact, Gouki continued with his move anyway. He formed a red fireball between his hands, charged it, and released it towards Gen. The fireball ripped through the air so forcefully that the ground exploded with rocks, firing them on either side. Gen slashed his hand in the air, causing the fireball to change course because of the impact. But the fireball didn't seem to be Gouki's main attack. Gen looked around for Gouki and sensed chi above him. Looking up, he noticed Gen was firing a kick at him. It was a very quick kick, because it cut through the air like paper, like a blade, and it went almost straight downwards. Gen quickly thought and leap-kicked in the air. Their kicks collided, and cancelled each other out. Gen, however, had more to his kick. He continued kicking up, rising more and more. Gouki had to endure about three of these before finally controlling the power, grabbing Gen's leg, and throwing him across the chamber.

Gen, however, began to feel a sickening feeling. He couldn't recover in the air like he normally could, and crashed into a wall badly. He got back up and suddenly realized he couldn't stand. Gouki landed and looked over to the old man.

But Gen didn't want Gouki to realize he was feeling weak, and forced himself to stand. He once again made a correct stance and faced Gouki. Gouki acted like he didn't realize it, and chose the option of ending the match quickly: the old man will have to rest in peace.

It is time…

Gen felt the chi inside Gouki rising. It was time. Realizing that match had gotten serious, Gen decided to fight seriously. Slowly, smoke began to rise from Gouki's body. It seemed that Gouki was steaming. Gen could also feel a tremendous amount of chi from Gouki's back…but what was there in the middle? The mark…

The smoke then changed to a reddish smoke, and Gouki's body was bordered by heavy flames which he didn't seem to be hurt by. Gen knew what was coming. It is your attack… The Raging Demon. This is it. The decision of death, either mine or yours.

Decision is up to Ten…old man.

Gouki's illusions once again began to form, as he quickly began to flash over to Gen and try to grab him. Gen had been training for this. Could he survive? He could see what was coming. The fifteen demons floating out of Gouki's body, Gen's vision turning almost blank white…but Gen concentrated. He let all the emotion inside of him float out of his fingertips. He let his mind blank…with no other thought. It seemed that his soul had come out of his own body… he could feel Gouki's fifteen demons coming at him, and so they did, as Gouki finally grabbed on to Gen's body. The demons wrapped his body and began to suck his soul out, but Gen continued to concentrate.

And anyway…how could a demon suck your soul out, when your body doesn't have one?

In what seemed like forever, the demons loosened from Gen and floated back inside Gouki, who let go of him. The mark behind Gouki was steaming hot. Gen then began to recollect his soul and spirit, and emotions back inside his body. He opened his eyes. His vision was blurry. Is this the end?

You survive…old man…

Looks like the decision is up to Zan'Ei, Gouki…

Gen stood on one foot, charged his hand back, and shot at the Gouki in front of him. He slashed his way through Gouki's body with his hand. The impact of the attack hit all of Gouki's bones that were lined up on the spot. But Gouki didn't fall for the move. Zan'Ei was only powerful if it hit at a certain spot. Gouki had suddenly misplaced the spot when Gen had made the decision of where the attack should be performed.

But this didn't seem to worry Gen at the moment. Gen helplessly fell on the floor. He couldn't get up anymore. He had used up almost all of his energy. Taking deep breaths, he tried to get back up in case Gouki attacks him, but in vain. A single hit, and he'll be dead. Gouki looked back and took note of this. Gen was in his ninety's, anyway. After a long minute's waiting, Gouki walked away from Gen, but stopped near the exit from the chamber for a while.

It would seem like a duel…

To you, it may…but to me, you have won…

…

hmph…until next time, old man…The next, you die…

Gen stood up and slowly walked away. Gouki, too, left the wrecked area. It seemed that almost all of the chamber had been destroyed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Ten is the kanji on Gouki's back, 天

And thanks CMK TacTican for correcting my mistake of using Shitenshuu instead of Zan'Ei ;) Also, the Shun Goku Satsu does take the victim to hell, but ever wondered what that 15 hit combo is for? Those are the 15 demons actually attacking the victim, taking him/her to hell (I'm not sure about the sucking out the soul part, just made that up). ^_^
