Last episode, Ryu found himself framed for a crime he didn't commit, and incarcerated inside a Thailand prison. There he was cast into a battle royale with the Muay Thai champion called Sagat. Before the fight could end, the two recognized each other as kindred fighting spirits, and became friends. Meanwhile, Ken scours the streets of Bangkok for the man responsible for Ryu's downfall.






Ryu is released from prison, and meets Ken. Ken says sorry it took so long for him to get everything worked out, but Ryu says he never doubted he would. Ryu leaves the prison, leaving Sagat inside it. Ryu and Ken head off, and Ken says that Dorai sent a list of possible hideouts for their group, and he's pretty sure he knows which one they'll find them in. He thought Ryu might like to go with him, and Ryu says be all means -they'll pay them a visit!



The two arrive at a large building. Ken says it may appear legit from the outside, but inside, it's one of the Ashura's hideouts. He believes this is the place where they'll find the guy who framed Ryu, some guy called Donu. The two head inside, and take down anyone who gets in their way.



They see Donu, and Ryu says he came to Thailand for some real Muay Thai experience. Thanks to him, he got just what he wanted. He asks who is first, and Ken says he'll take care of the small fry.



Donu gets up and tries to attack with some Muay Thai techniques, but Ryu evades everything he does. He tells Donu that considering everything he's done for him, this seems like the least he could do in return. He defeats Donu with one punch.



At the airport, Raja is surprised to see Ryu has returned. Ryu says he believed he promised a surprise, and throws Donu into the room. He says Donu was the one who set him up, and Raja recognizes him straight away.



Ken says they've got 10 more Ashura out in the hallway. Raja checks, and finds 10 more guys out there. Ryu says they're just dropping them off.



As he and Ken leave, he asks Raja not to let any of them get away. Raja salutes them, so they salute back.



As Ryu and Ken outside, they say how much they enjoyed that. But then Ryu sees someone at a window, and pushes Ken out of the way. The two get shot at, and Ryu leaps behind a car.



The bullet grazes Ryu's shoulder, but he tells Ken where the sniper is. The two climb over a fence, and Ken asks Ryu if his shoulder's ok. Ryu says not to worry about it, it was just a scratch. They head into another building, but when they enter the room where the sniper was, they find he's gone.



They look out a window and see a truck below. Ken bets the sniper must be in it, so the two jump down and land on top of the truck. The truck moves off, and the two Ashuras inside it don't realize that Ryu and Ken have jumped on.



The Ashuras in the truck talk about how they've messed this up, as those kids weren't supposed to walk away. The sniper says to get them back to the compound, as this place is about to be swarming with cops, so he doesn't want to be around here to see it. Ken tells Ryu that his bullet wound is bleeding, but Ryu states he's fine. He says it's high time they taught these Ashura punks a lesson -nobody takes aim at them without getting a little payback!



Back at the airport, Dorai arrives. He meets with Raja, who asks him if he has new leads on Ashura. Dorai says he has new evidence regarding some of their men, and has heard that Donu has been captured thanks to Ryu. Raja says they were just beginning to question him.



He also offers his apologies, and wishes he'd been aware that Ryu was a friend of his. Dorai tells him there was no way he could have known, and besides, it led to the capture of Donu and several of his lieutenants. He believes that Donu may have information that may be invaluable to them. Raja says Donu hasn't said anything yet, and he's an expert in keeping his mouth shut. He's currently being questioned by detective Soong. Dorai asks about Soong, and Raja says that Soong is one of his best men, and very knowledgeable when it comes to smuggling. Dorai says it's time he had a few words with Donu.



Meanwhile, the sniper explains to Zochi that his mission was a failure. Zochi says it doesn't matter, as Donu is about to be permanently silenced, and once that's accomplished, there'll be nothing those kids can do to hurt them.



A monitor then opens up in front of Zochi. There is a shadowy figure displayed on it, and Zochi says he awaits his command. The man says nothing, but Zochi assures him that whilst they're behind schedule, it's not by much. He says to leave the Hong Kong traffic to him, and he gives him his word that he won't be disappointed. The monitor suddenly cuts out, and closes back up. Zochi is just relieved that the conversation is over.



Back at the airport, Dorai asks Donu if he's tired of playing dumb. Soong tells Donu to speak up, as they can be pretty impatient. Dorai tells Raja that they should step outside and compare notes. As they leave, Dorai tells Soong to keep an eye on Donu, as he's pretty tricky. He and Raja then leave the room.



Outside, Dorai reveals that Soong is working for Ashura. He explains that Soon was fingered by several Ashura operatives they apprehended a few days ago back in Hong Kong. Soong has been providing the Ashura with vital information, such as tipping them off to their undercover operatives, and confusing their operatives by planting phony information in their hands. Raja asks if the Ashura are trying to frame Soong, like they did with Ryu. Dorai pulls out a radio, and says he planted a listening device of Soong before he left the room. They'll see how reliable Soong is.



In the room, Donu asks Soong if he's spoken to Mr. Zochi. Soong says he did, just a few minutes ago. Donu asks what Zochi said -will he get him out later, or does he make his miraculous bid for freedom right now? He tells Soong to tell the police he took him by surprise, and that he made his move when he looked out the window. As he's saying this, he isn't paying any attention to what Soong is doing. Soon then says fortunately he was able to shoot him before he escaped. Donu looks at Soong...



...who has a gun pointed at him! Soong tells him he seems to have outlive his usefulness to Mr. Zochi. Upon hearing this Dorai tells Raja to come on, as the two run back into the airport. But by the time they get to Donu, he's dead, having been shot in the head. And Soong is nowhere to be seen.



Raja says they have to alert security, but Dorai stops him. Dorai says he has a better idea -they can use the bug he planted on Soong to track him back to his bosses. Meanwhile, the truck arrives back at the compound. The guys driving get told that Mr. Zochi wants to see them now, in the main mansion. The truck moves into the compound, and Ryu and Ken are still on it.



They don't know that Zochi has seen them. As the truck comes to a stop in a parking lot, Ryu and Ken take out the drivers.



But then the lights come on, and several men armed with guns step out. Ken and Ryu have no choice but to surrender. Meanwhile, Soong is on his way back to the compound.



Dorai and Raja are monitoring Soong, and see that he's heading out of the city. Raja thinks that Soong is heading for the Racha Buri forest area, and is around 2 kilometers ahead of them. Dorai says to commence the operation, and a large police force moves out.



Ryu and Ken are taken before Zochi, who tells them they're too stubborn. He asks them again: who are they working for? He thinks it's obviously not the police, so he wants to know who is payrolling them. Ryu tells him he's the one who is being stubborn. He says he and Ken aren't working for anybody. Ken says the only thing they were doing was following the guy who was firing at them.



This angers Zochi, who says his patience with them is nearing an end. He hits them both down, and one of his men suggests they finish these punks off and forget about them. Zochi says that's much too easy, as they can kill them any time they wish. But before that, he wants to find out exactly who these losers are. He then presses his cane into Ryu's shoulder wound. Ken tells him to stop it, and says this is pointless.



Zochi says he could be right, and decides to try something more persuasive. He has Ryu strapped onto a chair, and then tells him to observe his special collection. A hidden walls moves up, revealing many severed arms. Zochi says he'll add one of Ryu's arms to his collection.



He removes his left hand, and places a chainsaw attachment onto his own arm. He then tells Ryu to give him the name of the person who's paying him, and to be quick about it -otherwise his arm will be his latest trophy!



Ken yells that they aren't working for anyone, but Zochi says he's all out of patience. Before he can slice Ryu's arm off, an alarm suddenly rings. A voice over the intercom says that the police are here, and have surrounded the compound.



Outside, Dorai tells all units to attack. As the police move in, Ken uses the distraction to beat up several Ashuras.



Zochi goes to attack him, but Ken jumps over him. He narrowly avoids having his head cut off, and manages to throw Zochi to the floor.



He then punches him in the face. Zochi isn't done yet and goes to attack again, only for Ken to kick his chainsaw off.



Ken then defeats him with a kick. Dorai and Raja enter, but see that the Ashura have already been defeated. Ken says he hopes they didn't steal any of their fun.



A new report reveals that Zochi, the head of the Ashura drugs syndicate, has finally been arrested. His capture was made possible by the assistance of two young foreigners. And in a related story, former Muay Thai champion Sagat is to be released from prison in light of new evidence of his innocence.



Sagat is released from prison. He tells Ryu it looks like he has him to thank for his freedom, but Ryu says it was Ken who made it possible for both of them. Ken says he gave Zochi one good punch for him. Sagat thanks him for the thought. He says he'll never forget Ryu for this.



He places his hand on Ryu's wounded shoulder, causing him to drop his bag. Sagat notices the tapestry, and takes a look at it. He says the word hadou. Ryu asks him if he knows about it. Sagat tells him if he wants to know about the hadou, he should travel to India.



Ryu and Ken asks what's in India. Sagat says in northern India, up a tributary of the Ganges River, is a village called Ahichattra. Ryu asks what they'll find there, and what does this village have to do with hadou? Sagat says if they find this village, they'll find a monk there, and his name is Dhalsim. Dhalsim is a man who has much power. Ryu says they must find this monk... they must find Dhalsim of India.




Dhalsim... the man who controls the hadou ki. To meet him, Ken and Ryu journey into the back country of India, hoping to unlock the arcane mysteries of this secret martial arts technique. What they find is a monster, and a treasure of gold. Be here for Street Fighter II V: Visitation of the Beasts - The Fierce Holy Monk Advice to Young Warriors. Gonna burn some muscle!
