In a brutal duel, Gouki overpowers his master Goutetsu and kills him using the Raging Demon, leaving the dojo a mangled ruin. The victory marks a dark turning point as Gouki's humanity begins to fade. The scene establishes the brutal cost of his chosen path.

Gouken arrives to find Goutetsu's mangled body and Gouki's transformed, inhuman presence. He scorns Gouki, telling him that his path was set and demanding to know why he would commit such cruelty. Gouki clutches his master's beaded necklace and exits in silence.

Sayaka falls to her knees and vomits, a stark sign of her pregnancy and her connection to Gouki. The moment hints at a future child who might inherit Gouki's dark legacy. The scene underscores the human cost of Gouki's choices.

In the present day, Ryu visits his master's old dojo and is suddenly confronted by an apparition of Gouki who challenges him. Ryu struggles to stay focused as the specter taunts him toward a dangerous path. An old man nearby bears witness to what he believes is a true demon.

The old man invites Ryu into his home, where he introduces his granddaughter Fuka and explains he has watched the younger fighters. He offers to train Ryu, prompting him to consider Gouki's challenge more seriously. Sakura appears and spars with him, further convincing Ryu to accept the path ahead.

Ryu agrees to train and pursue Gouki, accepting the looming confrontation. The old man warns about the Satsui no Hadou, a dark life force that corrupts its wielders. The stage is set for a battle that will test Ryu's ideals.

Ryu and Gouki's duel erupts, drawing in the old man and his pupil into the fray. Ken confronts the old man but is easily defeated. The old man elaborates on the Satsui no Hadou, revealing its ancient reputation among warlords.

During the fight, Ryu is briefly possessed by the Satsui no Hadou. He regains control, realizing this is not the path of a true warrior. He dispels the dark power and resumes the duel with newfound resolve.

Gouki scolds Ryu for concealing his true potential and attacks with a Metsu Hadouken. Ryu survives the onslaught, though the exchange leaves both fighters wary. Gouki walks away, cursing Gouken and vowing to meet again.

Gouki glimpses a Sayaka apparition tending his wounds from the past, hinting at a fragment of his humanity returning. His appearance becomes more human in the moment, suggesting a struggle between the demon within and his better self. The skirmish ends with Gouki retreating for now.

The old man looks to the sky and tells Gouken that he was asked to care for a child after Sayaka's death and not let Gouki's path prevail. He laments that he could not prevent the tragedy and concedes that his time has come. Fuka is shown praying in tears as the moment settles.

Ryu takes one last look at Fuka before leaving to begin his travels anew. The moment signals a resolve to walk his own path and face Gouki again someday. The story closes on a note of ongoing pursuit and uncertain fate.
