This is the first time l've ever flown before.
San Francisco Airport
The first time in my life l've ever left Japan.
After a ten hour and forty minute jet flight...
...l was here in San Francisco, U.S.A.
And the guy who'd gotten me to make this journey...
... was good ol' Ken.
The Beginning of a Journey Invitation Letter from San Francisco
Kaigunai Island, Japan
Ryu!
RYU!!!
Are you all right, Ryu?!
You little... How many times do l have to tell you?!
What kind of idiot stands under a falling tree?!
Well, uh, yeah...
For God's sake...
Anyway, it's almost noon. Let's take a break.
Yes, sir!
So, this is America.
Oh, sorry.
Whoops! This, too!
Hey, Rinko! Must be tough, making a lover's lunch for Ryu every day!
As if!
Grandpa!
l brought your lunch!
Oh, Rinko. Thank you.
- Where's Ryu? - At the cedar, as usual.
Here you go!
Oh, Rinko! ls it lunchtime already?
All you ever see in me is a lunch box, right?!
No, l didn't mean...!
l made your favorite today. A hamburger bento.
C'mon, let's get back to the shed and have lunch.
Right!
Oh, almost forgot.
- Here you go. - What's that?
What's it look like? A letter. For you.
Do you know somebody overseas?
That's air mail.
Yeah. lt's from my friend in America.
Do you have a blonde-haired girlfriend?
No way! You and a blonde! lt just wouldn't fit!
What could Ken want?
Huh? A guy?
Not a...boyfriend, right?
lt's been a while since we've had lunch outside, huh, Ryu?
'Cuz it's been raining so much lately.
l like these little meat balls.
lt's hamburger, Gramps.
Here's the tea.
Ah, thank you, Rinko.
Ryu, l'll just put yours over here.
Right.
Ryu... Aren't you going to open your letter?
Huh? Oh, sure.
Huh? That's American money. And a plane ticket.
What's on Ken's mind?
“Come to America. - Ken”
Are you going, Ryu?
Huh?
lt's kinda sudden. l'm not sure if l should.
You can go.
But there's work to do here on the mountain!
l don't count you as one of my workers.
Thanks a lot!
That letter's from the friend you trained with, right?
Yeah.
He may be starting to wish for rain.
Rain?
Your friend.
He probably misses his old friend from training.
Ah.
Ryu, a tree can't grow unless it rains.
And it won't rain unless the trees grow.
Aren't you feeling the need for a little rain?
Go to your friend, Ryu.
Write us sometime, okay?
Sure. Thanks for everything, Gramps.
l'll be back soon.
We'll be fine here. Don't worry.
Take this.
But that was your mother's...
Never mind that.
You're such a lamebrain that you'll need a good luck charm.
Thank you. l'll keep it with me.
Ryu? Are you ready?
Right!
Ryu! Take care!
You too, Rinko!
l have a feeling he's never coming back to this island.
Ryu! Hey, Ryu!
Hey, sorry l'm late. The traffic was something else!
lt's been a while, Ryu. You're looking pretty good.
So...are...YOU!
Okay, let's go. This way.
What's wrong, Ryu?
Over here.
So, it's been two years, Ryu.
Yeah, but... Jeez, this car's huge!
Yeah, well... lt's Dad's.
Catch!
ls this a park or something?
Nah, just our front yard.
FRONT YARD?!!!
Yeah, well... We'll get to the house in 20 minutes.
NO WAY!!!
Master Ken has returned. Take positions at the front door.
Roger.
Welcome home, Master Ken!
Hi. Thanks, everyone.
Hello! Thank you for allowing me to stay here!
Everyone, this is my best friend, just in from Japan.
Make him feel at home!
l'm Ryu! How do you do!
Welcome!
- C'mon, Ryu. - Uh, right!
Wow, this place is incredible!
Dad likes it.
Oh? Nice looking dog!
Come here, boy!
Cut it out! That tickles!
Cut it out! C'mon! Stop!
l've never seen my dog act so friendly to a stranger before.
Really? Guess l'm naturally good with dogs.
Samurai armor...
Yeah, Dad's a real Japan freak.
Oh, yeah. Your mom's Japanese, isn't she?
They're both at a birthday party for the President.
They'll fly back when it's over.
l see.
They seem really happy that you came here.
This is my room.
l'll show you to your room later, but we can relax in here for now.
lf you want a shower, the bathroom's in the corner.
lt's as big as a house in here!
Ken, that's great! You've won so many tournaments!
That's nothing. There's nobody as good as you in those things.
lt's too easy to win.
l see.
lnstead of that, lemme show you something REALLY cool.
What is it?!
Something cool. Shut up and follow me.
This is...
lt can't be real!
This looks just like the dojo we trained in!
Doesn't it?
Everything's just the way l remember it...
Hey, Ken--
Makes you feel nostalgic, doesn't it? So...
How about a match, Ryu?!
Right!
Looks like you haven't gotten rusty back in Japan!
l'll knock you off that high horse!
Give up already!
Like hell!
Hey! What're you doing?! Cut it out! Hey!
Hey! Come on!
Why, you dirty...!
Welcome home, sir.
Thank you.
The guest has already arrived, sir.
l see.
lf you don't mind, you may stay here as long as you like.
Make yourself at home.
Then let's eat!
Delicious!
Relax and eat all you like.
Oh? Well then, l'll take you up on that!
Why aren't you eating, Ken? This stuff's great!
Right...
l'm stuffed!
Hey! Cut it out already!
My mom and dad really seem to like you.
Your mom and dad are really nice people!
l guess.
Anyway, let's go.
Huh? Right now? Where?
The real San Francisco awaits!
Hey, little boys! lt's dangerous to drive too slow!
Clear the way for the Air Force!
'Scuse us!
Okay, let's go.
Go? Here?! This is a bar!
Hold it!
This isn't any place for kids.
Get lost!
Are you deaf, kid?!
l heard you. And, despite appearances, we're both 20.
Liar! Then lemme see some lD--
l see. Sure, you're both 20.
Told you.
Uh, Ken, what exactly are we doing here?
You need to ask?
This is the first night in a long time we're together again.
Excuse me.
What do you want?!
Miss, may l tell you something?
l get it...
Hey, look at that.
That kid just stole a girl from those Air Force guys!
You little snot! What's the big idea?!
This lady's chosen us over you filthy animals.
What?!
Make fun of us and you'll regret it, kid!
You little punks!
You...little...piece of...!!!
Come on!
Your “Welcome to America Party!” Have fun!
Just like l remember!
You haven't changed, either.
A crew cut-wearing man appears before Ryu and Ken.
Unlike the grunts, he seems to have some guts.
His name is Guile. Easily dodging Ryu's kicks...
...he takes an offensive stance and Ryu's speed is no match.
Ryu and Ken vs. Guile. Who will win this intense battle?
Next time, on Street Fighter ll V: "The King of the Air Force!"
"An Explosion of Military Combat!"
They go to meet the mighty!
