Gill reveals the nefarious plans of the Secret Society, as Ryu finally learns how to deal with  the Satsui No Hado, as Akuma unleashes enormous power – and it’ll take the combined powers of all of the world warriors to even have a chance of stopping evil in its tracks.

After the somewhat lacklustre first volume of Street Fighter Unlimited, The Heart of Battle is a much more satisfying and enjoyable read. We get the conclusion to a number of story threads that had been dragging on for far too long, and there’s a fantastic cliffhanger/setup for the big crossover that’s up next.

Despite (or perhaps more accurately, because of), the high camp and silliness of the Street Fighter saga, when it works, it’s brilliantly enjoyable stuff, and The Heart of Battle sees UDON back on form, with the next storyline being Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers; can the clashing of the world warriors against Capcom’s supernatural universe work? We’ll find out soon enough.
