Artist: Alvin Lee & Arnold Tsang
Cover: A
Print: First Print

Cover Opinion:
Wow, as I've said before, covers that go along with the comic book issue. I personally adore. This one is great too! Even if it is on the simple side. Simplicity at it's best.

Artist: Dustin Nguyen
Cover: B
Print: First Print

Cover Opinion:
This cover looks very traditional. The characters are drawn with a Capcom-Style that I've seen before. I really like this cover, but not so much. It's simple, yet the characters have absolutely no sense together. Not bad.
Artist: Arnold Tsang
Cover: Power Foil
Print: Special Edition Limited
Cover Opinion:
If anything, Arnold Tsang knows how to draw amazing. This cover is definitely wonderful. While it is showcasing Akuma, it technical focuses more on the power that is grasped within is hand. What a great power foil.

Introduction: Ryu has to face Gouken's murderer Akuma in an immense battle! Sakura is shown to be knocked out. While Eliza has a secret to tell Ken. The aftermath of Bison's death leaves Chun-Li and Guile mourning over the deaths of their beloved ones. While 'Killer Bee' is found to be in Rome.
 
Synopsis: Showing a memory of Ryu with his Master Gouken before the battle between Akuma. Akuma takes on both Ryu and Ken in a long fight. Akuma explains to both of them that they are weak and Master Gouken was incompetent. When Ken is knocked out for a moment, Sakura jumps out after glorying at Ryu's immense strength. She jumps out and asks Ryu at that moment in time, if he could be her master. Akuma knocks Sakura out and Ryu rips out a piece of his gi and wraps it around Sakura's bleeding forehead where Akuma knocked her. A memory comes back in which Ryu tapped into the Dark Hadou, which he releases the power again in front of Akuma.  Akuma says that Ryu should embrace his power and find him in the next Street Fighter tournament. Ryu closes his eyes after being pounded onto the ground, and remembers that Master Gouken wished that he would have never seen that power inside him. In the hospital, Eliza tells Ken that she is pregnant, and Ken is unable to go to a journey with Ryu. However, Sakura pops out and says that she instead will follow Ryu and not Ken. In Rome, Rose begins to speak about Cammy, who just awoke in front of the British Embassy. Rose begins to talk as a concluding end, in showing every major character's fate ending. And the journey begins...for Ryu and Sakura.

Conclusion:
Finally, an issue that lasts longer than 18 pages. It only lasted 5 pages more but the 5 pages helped give a strong storyline that concludes a lot. This issue appears to be able to conclude so many other things instead of the Interpol side of the arc. It's amazing to see such a storyline unfold into a wonderful conclusion. Everything seemed to fit perfectly into place at the end. Yet, leaving so many questions.

There is no negatives in this issue. This issue is wonderful. It ties up every everything before the start of another arc. What other way could they have done it? This issue does have one factor...that I liked, but I also didn't. In the Street Fighter II: Animated Movie, we see that Ken gave Ryu a headband of his because he was bleeding on his forehead...but where does this show up again? Well, it shows up with Ryu and Sakura. Awkward. At least Udon is trying to incorporate every Street Fighter-related thing into one.

That ends the first 6 issues that was jam packed with such a battle. While most storylines have concluded, there are more storylines that open. We have Cammy who is found in Rome, but what will she do? We have Chun-Li still sad over her father's death, where will she go now that it's over? Guile, seeing his best friend die in person, what will he do now? And finally, where will the journey between Ryu and Sakura go to? It seems Udon left us a lot of questions that make this issue worthwhile!
