Pretty simple question, but I could not a find an answer anywhere. I refuse to ask on gayfaqs for obvious reasons. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the letters on AKuma's back mean, and also when he uses Raging Demon. Thanks.

 

[Tamanon]

I'm pretty sure they mean "Dan Rules"

 

[Date of Lies]

10

 

[LakeEarth]

Heaven, or Beyond Human.

 

[evil ways]

Ten, which was his football number back in college.

 

[Date of Lies]

I know I heard it's ten, Heavenly was Shin Akuma's sign no? Was it the other way around?

 

[JackFrost2012]

wtf do SF fans say it means "Beyond Human"?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Date: It does say "ten" I think. But ten meaning the japanese word ten, not the english number.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Sky/Heaven

 

[Ferrio]

天 Pronounced "Ten", meaning: "Heaven"

 

[sprsk]

wtf do SF fans say it means "Beyond Human"?

I think its cause simply writing heaven doesnt make much sense.

Maybe its some where in SF lore or something.

Nope, Shin-Akuma's back says beyond human.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Nope, Shin-Akuma's back says beyond human.

wtf is the Japanese for Beyond Human

超人間？

I don't trust you SF fans.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Anyone know what Evil Ryu's says?

I don't trust you SF fans.

A friend of mine from Japan told me, I'm not sure if it's even true. :lol

 

[Red Scarlet]

Got a pic?

The back of King's shirt is 'aku'/evil.

 

[LakeEarth]

Nope, Shin-Akuma's back says beyond human.

Ahh, that makes sense.

 

[newsguy]

"If you can read this symbol, you're probably already eating my ass."

This was confirmed by Capcom. Journalistic integrity FTW.

 

[Companion Cube]

Maybe it refers to being heavenly, which implies he's beyond human...? I dunno. Those SF fans sure are caRAYzay.

 

[Jewbacca]

They mean Hard Gay.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

It could just mean that he's sending you to heaven after you fight him.

 

[JackFrost2012]

I heard it means Kung-Fu Space Robot!

 

[Barry Lightning]

it means "heaven," but is in reference to, "i will send you to heaven."

get it? got it? good.

 

[renvi]

AKUMA:【天】（てん）
天:sky; heaven

SHIN AKUMA:【神人】（じにん）
神:God
人eople

 

[Nikashi]

Doesn't Shin Akuma's back say 'Messatsu'? (And isn't it just one Kanji?)

 

[renvi]

Doesn't Shin Akuma's back say 'Messatsu'? (And isn't it just one Kanji?)

No.
messatsu written in Hiragana is めっさつ in Kanji is 滅殺.

 

[Shogmaster]

It's gotta be "Cheesy motherfucker".

Evil Ryu (sorry for the crappy screencap):

 

[Red Scarlet]

Looks like 'metsu' (destroy, ruin) according to word processor thingy.

I wish I had the fancy keyboard or whatever those guys are using to type them out.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Depends. Are you Akuma?

If so: Cheesy little Shoto Clone

If not: You are a scrub.

Just ask anyone versed in Katakana. Its true.

 

[-=DoAvl=-]

Evil Ryu (sorry for the crappy screencap):

that one says "Jackie Chan"

 

[G-Fex]

something meaning akuma sucks.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

that one says "Jackie Chan"

Which in itself means "God of Asskickery," loosely translated of course. Watch Drunken Master 2 for reference.

 

[Shouta]

Akuma is Ten which means Heaven as people already have pointed out.

Evil Ryu has Metsu on the back of his Gi which means "Destruction"

I don't recall what Shin Akuma has on his back, someone got a pic?

If you wishes to type japanese, and you are using a Windows XP, go to control panel > regional and lauguage ... > lauguages
click the box before "install files for east asian lauguages" if it is not checked.
then click "details..." > "Add" > input lauguage: japanese > OK > OK
after rebooting, you should be able to use lauguage bar to type japanese.

from capcom vs snk 2

 

[Shouta]

Got a pic from the game? I recall it being easier to read.

 

[FallenOne666]

So Akuma's is ten/heaven.

Which Shin Akuma is Beyond Human?

He has 2 different symbols, I believe. 1 is in Capcom Vs SNK 2, the other is in.. everything else?

 

[JackFrost2012]

this just in: none of the kanji mean "beyond human"

 

[renvi]

I just took this snapshot

 

[GDGF]

It'd be funny if it meant 'Disco Queen'

 

[Shouta]

I just took this snapshot

Oh, it's two Kanji. I totally forgot. It's Kami (god) + Hito (person) or literally "God". You could translate it as "Beyond Human" but that's terribly loose.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Disco Stu doesn't advertise.

 

[ghibli99]

Related trivia: Even though it's used often, the same kanji (heaven) is seen on Don Corneo's bed in FF7, which I always thought was pretty funny.

 

[LakeEarth]

I just took this snapshot

Oh wait, I see what it says now. "Pick me scrubs, I'm a Dragonball Z reject".

 

[Naked Snake]

This thread is hilarious :lol

 

[Aurora]

Well, you're right about the kanji on their own, but when they're added together it becomes 神人 (Shinjin) which means "Godlike person". So "Beyond Human" isn't far off.

Alright, neat. How do you type in kanji with it?

 

[boutrosinit]

ALL LIES. The symbol means 'FMUTA'. He never speaks, so it's the easiest way for him to score a lay for the night.
