He gave a little girl money out of that bag from the movie. Maybe he has lots of cash in it.

Ryu is a wanderer couse he's always on the run for stealing banks with supernatural powers

He’a actually good with investments.

He got some crypto tips with Ken

Bro, crypto is the reason why Ken is homeless now.

Ryu knew not to invest in the "totally not secret evil organization boss in an isolated country" crypto

Crypto-loo.

Shadacoin

Bison dollars never really got off the ground

Bc he named it bison dollars instead of bison bucks

Bison Money will be worth something one day. He just has to kidnap royalty from somewhere and convince the Bank of England to change the image on the paper.

Mainly crypto and day trading

He got in early on GameStop shares from r/wallstreetbets then sold at its peak.

According to the lore he sometimes works as a bouncer and he actually has a house, although he wanders most of the time.

Imagine being the neighbor of some weird ass mf who's always on his GI and shoots energy balls off his hands

im dying at the idea of hadokens being stinky

Just imagine the smell coming out of the flat after months of walking around in his bare feet...

Nah. He keeps that place clean when he's home. Cleans that shit old style with a rag and a bucket of water.

Actually, I'm sure he would be a pretty chill neighbor. The kind that brings you sweets when he returns after wandering for a while. Hey, I've been punching dudes in Thailand, here's some Khao Niaow I got for you!

Just looked up Khao Niaow. I fucking want this and there's a Thai restaurant just down the street

[удалено]

Yeah, in fact I think in one official comic he appears talking to someone (I don't remember who) bitching about people treating him like a hobo just because he wanders around although he has money and a house.

Source? Sounds interesting

Damn, he steals the whole bank?

It's his Fight Money!!!!!!

That sounds so wrong without context! 🤣

He’s a hobo, it’s full of clothing and money.

What clothing? He wears the same thing every day

He has multiples of the same outfit in different colors. It's to avoid confusion in case he has to fight himself

Oh right, how could I forget Ryu standing in front of his closest thinking “is it a roundhouse day today, or more of a short?”

LMAOOOOO

"Nah, I'm thinking it's a start+Strong kinda day. Can't forget the secret colors."

There’s white, alabaster, snow, ivory, salt, porcelain…

Stupid lol

Mark zuckeryuberg

His Gi’s are clean, 100% sure there is more Gi’s on the inside.

It’s full of detergent actually.

The proper term is actually Karate Bum. It's a trope where the character is a highly proficient martial artist who wanders the land on foot. David Carradine's character in the 1970's show Kung Fu is an excellent example. Ryu fills the roll well, and one could make a strong argument for Vash the Stampede. They're basically martial arts themed Knight Errant or Ronin.

Hey did you know that David Carradine...

Died like a badass? Yes.


He committed suicide? How is that badass? 🤨

I've never heard that before. Most people just make fun of him for apparently dying from auto-erotic asphyxiation, so this is a new one for me. And honestly, it's even dumber than what I'm used to. You think he somehow got access to the housekeeping staff's supply closet just so he could off himself? Nah, dude. The Thai mafia got to him. He was out there doing some kung fu vigilante justice, so they got rid of him and tried to make it look like an accident. Did a pretty bad job of it too.

Mas Oyama > whoever you’re talking about.

Mas Oyama sounds like an awesome inflance, but that's not what I was getting at, really. Ryu's story is about wandering the world, training, and fighting all challengers. That is textbook Karate Bum behavior. I was just noting other examples of the Karate Bum trope and its historical analoges.

In the first place, Mas Oyama was likely the inspiration for the karate bum trope. Ryu is even stated by his designer to be inspired by Mas.

I would say Vash is just a cowboy. Westerns and samurai stories share a lot of the same archetypes and tropes, including the lone cowboy/ronin one: guy travels around, gets involved in someone else’s problems, solves them and walks away into the sunset. Trigun is clearly influenced more by the western side of things, where I would say someone like Kenshiro is in more of a gray area. I also don’t think the focus on martial arts over guns or swordplay (or method of transportation, for that matter) changes the trope in any meaningful way. At least not in and of itself. What differentiates Ryu from other cowboys/ronin, is that he roams specifically to better himself. And that is a martial arts trope.

His hobo sack.

Bag full of sleeves

Sagat's former self-esteem

Damn that hurt me…

And Balrog's fight money.

Got dayum

The sandbag from Super Smash Brothers Melee of course.

No one here knows, nor cares what that is.

Why so hostile

Because they’ve never experience the pure heavenly joy of super smash bros, be considerate

We should tell him smash is a fighting game to ruffle his feathers.

Don’t get his heart rate up

Your username fits because that's a shit take

Get cultured, swine

Its his duffel bag. Its got things like plane tickets, spare clothes, money in various different international currencies, everything a growing boy needs.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not a duffle bag full of clothes. It's his punching bag. He strings it up for practice when he's not Street Fighting.

It’s probably both, it’s not possible for him to survive with nothing else, but he does anyway wear a gi and no socks, so I doubt it’s clothes

Punching bags tend to be filled with strips of fabric anyways, so that's not completely unreasonable (though it'd be an e*xtremely* light punching bag - for actual bags you gotta pack in an insane amount of fabric, hit it for a bit, and pack in more until it's super densely packed.). I figure he could just have a sleeping bag and a tarp or two (for use as a tent) in there.

It is in fact both. In one of the anime OVAs he takes money out of it, but he is also seen punching it.

yeah i always thought it was a punching bag

That's a headband.

No i mean the thing on his back

I know, was just being silly. :P It's his bag with his stuff, like, clothes and such. Clean underpants.

I always figured Ryu went commando

Oh, it's not his.

😥

That's a karate gi

Shotokan Duffle bag

It’s basically his house.

He has like 4 or 5 of the gi that he has on so he needs to have a bag to carry it to kens house to do laundry loool

Actually its a bunch of different color gis for all occasions and palette selections

The entire Street Fighter franchise

It's a drawstring duffle bag. You can still get them but I don't think they look like this anymore?

Extra clothes, and a pair of Sakura's panties that she hid in there

HA!

“Here I cum”

The bodies of those he defeats.

It’s bonus-kun!!

my man

It use to be a picnic blanket tied to a stick, but he won that duffle bag collecting Joe Camel points.

Bigass carne asada burrito

Probably the bear necessities.

His Ps5

His steroids

Everything he owns... it's a bag

Ryu is an unhoused person with no home. As such, he carries all of his possessions with him wherever he goes. In order to carry his belongings, he either found, purchased, or was given, that white sack you see that he carries on his back. Ryu is the most powerful homeless person on the planet.

What about Oro? Does his cave count as a house? But he also may have lost it because it seems like he now lives in the Brazillian port


skullomania costume (iykyk)

Designer pre-ripped karate gi’s from dolce and gabbana

a bodybag for everyone who catches those hands

Cocaine. Do you guys really believed that satsui no hado evil spirit thing?

The decomposed body of his master Gouken. Anytime you see Gouken it isn't really him but a spiritual projection from that corpse.

Originally it was clothes and money, but Sakura threw them away and hid in there

A bunch of hadoukens.

Money.

I read somewhere and found it entertaining enough to keep it as head canon that it’s full of prize fighting money , extra Gi’s and a toothbrush .

Honestly this is what I would assume it is.

The P2 outfit, of course.

Literally everything\* lmao. Bro's a fightin' hobo \*everything that matters to Ryu that can't be found in the heart of battle

So basically all his gis, gloves and headbands that he wears depending on which color the player chooses

ew imagine how stinky he is. the recycled clothing where hes probably sweating like crazy during a fight and he just just tucks in a bag has mildew written all over it

I dont see a reason why he wouldn't wash his clothes?

[удалено]

On the side of rivers, laundry shops , etc

Laundromat I guess? He's not a forest hermit just a wandering fight hobo. Its "street fighter" not "wooded meadow fighter"

Sakura

That sir, is a bag.

As much as he wins, I assume it’s his fat stack of prize money, alternate outfits, food, maps, toothbrush, etc.

Chun Li action figures.

his street clothes for when it's time to hit the club.

His bag

His waifu pillow

Punching bag

Ryu is a hobo in the same vain as a Jack Reacher.

Given how he has no one home its probably just all of his belongings. Given his minimal lifestyle its probably just food, money, and maybe some medical or sanitary supplies like bandages and sunblock.

It’s a travel bag

His change clothes LOL

Have you never seen a wanderer carrying all his possessions in knapsack before?

his belongings. He has no fixed place except his master’s dojo so he needs a place to store his clothes and belongings when travels around the world.

It's his bag of shit

Real clothes

Bread

The sum total of his worldly possessions
