Added DiffLines:

* TheCorruption: Satsui No Hado is incredibly dangerous both physically and mentally, and it doesn't take long for it to affect Gouki. When Gouken finds out [[spoiler: Ken used Gouki's notebook to learn the Hadoken]], he immediately confronts and forbids him from ever using it again.
* CursedWithAwesome: The Satsui No Hado grants you immense power, but drives you insane if left unchecked.
* DisappearedDad: Ken's father, who left him with Gouken while he saved his company in the States.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Ken, who has his ''Alpha'' ponytail. He even gets mocked for it by a local fisherman.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Gouken, who doesn't resemble the mountain of muscle and beard depicted in SFIV.


Added DiffLines:

* HurricaneKick: It's a main component of Ansatsuken. Appropriately, Ken is the first of the two students to pull it off in a fight.


Added DiffLines:

* KamehameHadoken: It wouldn't be Street Fighter without it. However, the series focuses on Ryu and Ken actually ''learning'' to perform it; when Gouken demonstrates it for the first time, they react how people would in RealLife. It also requires more concentration and is less flashy than the video game versions.


Added DiffLines:

* LonelyRichKid: Ken. When his mother died, he got into lots of fights and was kicked out of school. His father needed to focus on saving the Masters Foundation, so he left Ken with Gouken.
* MythologyGag: There's a board in the dojo that lists all the students that have trained there. One of them is Dan.
* ObviouslyEvil: Gouki, who is clearly obsessed with Satsui No Hado even early on.


Added DiffLines:

* ParentalSubstitute: Gouken for both protagonists.


Added DiffLines:

* Shoryuken: Wouldn't be StreetFighter without it. Gouken can jump ''much'' higher than his students, leading Ken to wonder when they're going to learn it.
