@stardingo747 Cool. Thanks.

@sethisawesome the way he is now, in Shenmues 1 and 2, Ryo is just a tiger cub, by Chinese reckoning. You ever been around a tiger cub? Even tiger cubs are really strong man, really strong, but obviously they're nothing like grown tigers. So, like I said, Ryo Hazuki, by the reckoning of traditional Chinese martial arts, is not yet a grown tiger, right now he is just a cub.

@sethisawesome the character Ryo Hazuki will eventually become a martial artist as powerful as Fist of The North Star's Kenshiro; powerful enough to take on a demon.

@sethisawesome Chi You vowed to come back as a demon that is, to take revenge on all of Huangdi's descendants. Like in Europe, China's ancient nobility were all distantly related. Play Dynasty Warriors much? Believe it or not, Liu Bei's bitter rival Cao Cao was actually a distant family relation. All of China's nobles descended from Huangdi. Xenhua is a direct descendant of Huangdi, meaning that if Ryo is not around to protect her, the demon Chi You will kill her.

@sethisawesome Ryo's destiny isn't to just take revenge against Lan Di, the plot is further complicated in 2 when it is revealed Lan Di is Xiu Ying's older brother Ximing. Not only will later in the story will Ryo become a better martial artist than Lan Di, his ultimate destiny is to protect Xenhua from the demon Chi You. In Chinese myth, the yellow emperor Shi Huangdi, and his brother Chi You fought a battle which Chi You lost; Chi You vowed to come back as a demon, to take revenge.
