Kyoryu had gone astray. After learning of his ties to Yokai, and the dark gift they shared, he had cut himself off from the world to find his path. Unfortunately, the powers within him were stronger than his spirit, and his mind and soul were consumed.
Hanzo, the man who raised and tutored him, watched helplessly as his former student skirted the edge and fell into the abyss. The man, no, demon, that emerged called itself Ikuchi, a rage-filled monster obsessed with calling down the storms it controlled for a singular purpose: the eradication of all who stood between it and more power.

Hanzo knew there was still good trapped within friend, but also knew that nothing short of a miracle could break the hold the darkness had on him.

Now, acting against the orders of those who made him watch over Kyoryu his entire life, Hanzo has but one mission: find a way to save his pupil… or die trying.

The Essence of Evil expansion to Street Masters introduces 1 new fighter deck, 1 new enemy deck, 2 new stage decks, and more! Discover the dark secret behind Kyoryu as you face off against him in his dark new form. With the help of Hanzo and his mastery of weapons, just maybe you can survive the deadly new force known as the Ayakashi!
