Plot Issues #0–6 While training in Japan, Ryu rushes to the dojo after hearing a loud cry and finds his master Gouken murdered. He travels to San Francisco to inform his best friend and training partner, Ken, about their master's death and deduces that Gouken was murdered by his own brother, Akuma. The two decide to go back to Japan to avenge their master's death and are accompanied by Ken's fiancée, Eliza.
Meanwhile, Guile is investigating Shadaloo after the disappearance of his friend and mentor, Charlie Nash. Officer Gibson informs Guile that the organization is keeping several tabs on Ryu after he defeated Sagat in the last Street Fighter tournament. He later meets Interpol agent Chun-Li, who is also investigating Shadaloo after the criminal organization kidnapped her father. Believing that Ryu could be a potential lead towards Shadaloo's leader, M. Bison, the two fly to Japan to find him.
After getting intel of Ryu's whereabouts from Killer Bee, M. Bison sends Vega to Japan. While searching through Tokyo, Vega easily defeats and humiliates the sumo wrestler E. Honda in front of his fans, including Sakura Kasugano, who also sets her sights on locating Ryu after learning about his accomplishments. Vega then bumps into Ken and Eliza and places a tracking device on Eliza's scarf. He attacks the couple in their hotel room, but Ken overpowers him and forces him to retreat. Ken takes Eliza to the hospital, where she encourages him to find Ryu and warn him about Shadaloo.
Near Gouken's dojo, Chun-Li and Guile are attacked by Charlie, who was brainwashed by Shadaloo to become their assassin known as “Agent Shadow.” Guile stops the fight by giving Charlie his dog tags, which helps restore his memory and prompts him to retreat. They later recover at the same hospital Eliza is at, where she criticizes Guile for abandoning her sister Julia and informs them about her encounter with Vega. As Ken finds Ryu in Gouken's dojo, Guile calls him and they decide to meet at the Miyazaki Shrine. Sakura overhears their conversation as she was at the hospital to get treatment for Dan Hibiki, a dojo owner she defeated during her search for Ryu.
Before leaving the dojo, Ryu has a run-in with Sagat, who warns him that Bison plans to brainwash him and use his power for evil. On the way to the shrine, Guile and Chun-Li reunite with Charlie, who has recovered from Bison's brainwashing. He informs them that Bison can control others with his Psycho Power and that Chun-Li's father was murdered by Bison's “Doll Agents” led by Killer Bee.
