Street Fighter Alpha & Street Fighter Alpha: Generations - DVD

In Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie, Ryu finds himself haunted by the dangerous temptation of the Dark Hadou (Satsui no Hado)—a dark, destructive energy that threatens to consume his soul. When a young boy named Shun arrives claiming to be Ryu's long-lost younger brother, Ryu takes him under his wing, only for Shun to be kidnapped by the sinister Shadowlaw scientist Dr. Sadler. Teaming up with his rival Ken Masters and the spirited teenage fighter Sakura Kasugano, Ryu enters Sadler's underground fighting tournament to save Shun, confronting both murderous opponents and his own inner demons. In Street Fighter Alpha: Generations, the prequel saga deepens as Ryu returns to his master Gouken's abandoned dojo to pay tribute. Troubled by visions of his master's tragic murder, Ryu sets out to uncover the dark lineage of his martial arts art style, leading to a fateful, explosive showdown with the immortal demon of fighting himself—Gouki (Akuma).

Packed together in a definitive double-feature set by Manga Entertainment, this 2-Disc Special Edition collects two distinct, high-octane anime adaptations inspired by Capcom's iconic fighting game series. Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie (1999) is directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi (Dragon Ball Z, Saint Seiya) with animation by Group TAC, delivering slick late-90s digital-cel action and deep character drama. Street Fighter Alpha: Generations (2005), directed by Ikuo Kuwana and produced by Studio A.P.P.P. (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA), brings a gritty, dark, and hard-hitting martial arts prequel created specifically for international fans. Together, these two features offer the ultimate martial arts double feature for Capcom collectors and fighting game enthusiasts alike.
