What is the Japanese name for Akuma's Raging Demon attack?

The Japanese name for Akuma’s Raging Demon attack is Shun Goku Satsu. The technique is one of Akuma’s most recognizable attacks, representing the lethal power of the Satsui no Hado, or “Surge of Murderous Intent.”

In the move’s classic presentation, Akuma rushes toward his opponent and seizes them. The screen then goes dark while a rapid series of attacks takes place, leaving only flashes, sound effects, and the final kanji symbol 天 visible. The attack’s English name, Raging Demon, describes its dramatic effect rather than serving as the original Japanese title.

The other options are different techniques. Goshoryuken is a powerful rising dragon-punch variation, Tenma Gou Zanku is an aerial projectile technique, and Messatsu Gohada is another Akuma special move. None is the Japanese name of the Raging Demon.

The attack has appeared under related forms in several games, including Shin Shun Goku Satsu, often translated as “True Raging Demon.” That enhanced version should not be confused with the base technique: Shun Goku Satsu is the canonical Japanese name for Akuma’s Raging Demon.
