User blog comment:Kronika X Cetrion/PG Proposal: Ryu (Street Fighter)/@comment-2059440-20190923164245

again, being from a fighting game as a major protagonist I'd reason that Ryu can't quite make it as "pure good" because he will use violence that could easily kill opponents.. in fact I'm pretty sure Street Fighter has established that heroes are lethal in at least the expanded works (cartoons, movies etc).

Ryu, in that regard, would be akin to Goku or any other fighting-based character, who by the very nature of fighting, could easily kill opponents.
