Everyone knows Ryu as one of the planet's greatest fighters, but he wasn't always a World Street Fighting Champion. Street Fighter III: Ryu Final Volume 1 takes us back to Ryu's past, as he seeks the path of the warrior. On his journey he'll train with many fighters; the mystical hermit Oro, the wise martial arts master Gouken... even his good friend Ken might teach him a few new tricks! It all comes to a head with Ryu's first encounter with the man who would one day become his greatest foe... the deadly Akuma!
