![]() At the very least it would seem to be an homage. While not overt, this could imply that Zeku is the founder of the Street Fighter universe's own version of the Strider organization, if not an attempt to link the two canons. Story: Zeku's story concerns him returning to the battlefield after leaving the Bushinryu ninja school in Guy's Alpha 2 ending to develop a new fighting style and create a new ninja group. Incidentally, one of Guy's unused costumes in Ultra Street Fighter IV was modeled after Hiryu, and Hiryu has had pallete swaps based on Guy's colorscheme. ![]() As before, the kanji on his chest is Bu instead of Hi. In Bengus's artwork ( example 1, example 2), he also gives Zeku a cowlick similar to the one often sported by Hiryu.īattle Costume 1: An obvious homage to Strider Hiryu, replicating his costume quite faithfully, albeit with minor alteration to appear less high-tech. While Hiryu's uniform bore the kanji Hi ("flying," the first kanji in Hiryu, "flying dragon"), Zeku's bears the kanji Bu ("war," the first kanji in Bushin, "war god"). Note that I haven't picked through all his animations, so I'm sure there are additional references in his normals and specials.ĭefault Costume (Young Zeku): Young Zeku's default costume bears a striking resemblance to Strider Hiryu, with a flowing red scarf, wild brown hair, and blue ninja garb with a red kanji embroidered on the left breast. This is a rough write up of all of Zeku's Strider references that I've found so far.
