Retsu paid a visit to Gouken in the mountains, informing him that Goutetsu was the only other student

who was able to stay in the mountains for fourteen days without food and water, informing him that he
has reached enlightenment; he mentions that Akuma has come to an awakening of his own. Retsu then
showed Gouken the village where the people who killed his father lived; after Gouken told him that he
had no intention of fighting them, Retsu told him that his training was complete.

Retsu went out to look for Akuma after promising to find him for Gouken; he first went to Tokyo, only to
find that he has no mailing address. He then goes to a village to ask other fighters about him, but was
met with stories of how Akuma was the devil incarnate and an evil demon cast from the heavens to
bring suffering to humanity; they described him as an inhuman killer of the highest order who revels in
sending souls to hell, and a master of pain and death who has killed men, women, and even children.
Retsu reports all of this back to Gouken, and suggests that he should forget about him.

At a later point in time, Retsu spars with Ryu to test the boy's skills, and is brutally beaten by Ryu under
the influence of the Satsui no Hado, but is stopped by Gouken before Ryu could go too far. As Gouken
supervises Retsu's recovery, he tells him that he is fine, and tells Gouken that his student is much
stronger then he appears.

Drama CDs

He plays a role in a pair of Street Fighter II Drama CDs released only in Japan, "Mad Revenger" and
"Portrait of the Magician", where he is voiced by Takeshi Aono.

Capcom Fighting Evolution

Retsu was supposed to make his playable debut in Capcom Fighting Evolution, representing the first
Street Fighter game alongside Eagle (using his Capcom vs SNK 2 sprite) and a redesigned young version
of Sagat without his chest scar. Due to time constraints, all three were cut from the game.[3]
