brought together by the mysterious death of their master. But
now, the two warriors must overcome a challenge unlike any
they've faced before. Increasingly disturbed by the dark
energies building within him, Ryu is unexpectedly confronted
with the appearance of Shun - a boy claiming to be the
long-lost brother he never knew. Soon, signs of their common
lineage are revealed as Shun enters a martial arts
competition and manifests the same fearsome Dark Hadou. But
before Ryu has the chance to consider whether Shun's timely
appearance might be more than coincidental, agents of the
insidious Shadowlaw organization kidnap the boy. To recover
the child, Ryu must undertake the ultimate journey of
self-discovery and learn to control the power threatening to
consume him. But with his confidence waning, will he have
what it takes to confront Akuma - the vicious lord of the
Dark Hadou himself?
