THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE NEWLY RELEASED STREET FIGHTER 6. YOU HAVE BEING WARNED!
You may be wondering why am I making this post? Well, that's quite simple. While I was going through every character who had appeared in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Artbook, by the time Part 7 was created, the Chun Li trailer for SF6 was revealed a day before! So when this post comes out all characters already discussed before part 6 will have their new Stories put through the context of their respective cards!
Also, I made a few Mistakes in my Persona run throughs As well as some perks I omitted, by solely going through let's plays of the social links only!
0: THE FOOL (Minato, Yu, Igor, G)
PERSONA 3 MISTAKE: MINATO WAS DESTINED TO BE THE DOOR SEALING AWAY NYX, HE WAS NOT THE DOOR IN THE FIRST PLACE!
As Stated in Death, I learned Researching Pharos that in the Battle between Aigis and Nyx 10 years prior, the robotic persona user split the God of death into two personas that she sealed in the body of a young boy who was caught in a car accident caused by the battle, Minato Yuki! Given the door looked like him and his uncaring personality, you'd be forgiven that his nature comes from being a unfeeling human door!
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON 1: JP TRIED TO DESTROY G BUT ENDED UP TURNING HIM INTO Q INSTEAD.
Unfounded: there is no mention of G in JP's Story.
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON 2: JP'S PLAN WAS TO MAKE A "COLD WAR" FOR HUMANITY'S SOULS FOR THE ILLUMINATI WITH G AS A PROGRAMMABLE FALSE PROPHET
I'm surprised no-one else has brought it up but the fact we have An Abe Lincoln inspired Villain who preaches humanity's Unity with him as the uncontested President of the Earth, only for JP, a man in similar Anachronistic Garb, and With his Russian Sounding Alias and moves named after Slavic Myths, some named after actions that Restrict Freedom in some way (Amnesia, Interdiction) why, just look at JP's cane, it has a Sickle on it!
Unfounded: JP IS evil, he's a terrorist, a Money Launderer, and the suspected Murderer of Kimberley's Uncle Al. But as of Allegiances, He's The Leader of the Terrorist cell Amnesia, but it's still implied that's a front for the Illuminati.
HEADCANON 3: JP KNOWS BISON'S TRUE ORIGINS!
Confirmed: he Reminiscences that he may be more alike of Bison than he thought!
I: THE MAGICIAN( Kenji, Yosuke, Morgana, Dhalsim)
PERSONA 3 OMISSION: KENJI UNLOCKS NOZUMI
PERSONA 4 OMISSION: IN THE TV WORLD, ALL YOUR ALLIES HAVE ITEMS IF YOU TALK NICELY TO THEM!
Each party member except Rise have Healing items based around them. For Brevity I will name them all here rather than spread them out in all in different sections:
- Yosuke's items are from his family Supermarket chain he manages for the Inaba region, Junes and it's Junes Lunch. It's Described as a Bento But we don't know what it contains. The Lunch heals 100 HP. He will also give you a cough Drop that heals 10 Special points instead.
- Yukiko has 3 items. First the health conscious girl will give you a can of Quelorie Magic, that melon soda Rise advertised, that heals 25 health. But her sweet tooth comes out as her Amagi Manju (Traditional Rice flour Marshmallows) heal all your HP and her Homemade Lunch made with love heals all your SP!
- The Manly Kanji loves Bone Senbei, Crackers made from Sardine Bones that cures 10HP, But even Bad Boys love their Mommas! As his Mom's Lunch heals All HP.
- Chie's Item is, WHAT ELSE-Steak!, But this item is her Family Restaurant's Secret Menu Item, The Steak Skewer DX that restores all HP! But Despite unleashing Mystery Curry X onto the World, Her Muffin Is Divine (PAUSE!) As it can cure all your Special Points!
- The Worldly Naoto comes with milk chocolate that raises 10SP, And a once off Gadget called the Mini Mechavator which does the same!
- And Finally Teddie! Don't think too hard about the Food that looks like it was made out of parts of his costume/Flesh!, And enjoy the effect of his Sample Food Set, which recovers health by 100 points and Yummy Gummies, that Heal 10 Special points!
NUMBER II: THE HIGH PRIESTESS (Fuuka, Yukiko, Makoto, Rose)

STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
ROSE IS EITHER DYING OR HER POWERS HAVE, OR ARE MAKING HER, JOIN A HIGHER PLAIN OF EXISTENCE!
So Unless they Bring Bison Back (WHICH I HOPE THEY DON'T!) I see them doing this, in Season 2 DLC, Announce Rose's apprentice Menat, But she now has Rose's Scarf that she uses as her Standing HP and Combo Ender! It works like this, Menat's Default costume and Fighting Style is based on Rhythmic gymnastics where a Ball Prop is used, But there is another Prop more well known.
Her Level 3 Could Be Neferitim like it was in 5, But the Critical Art Version Could have her use The Scarf as a ribbon around herself to power up the kick that ends the Super.
NUMBER III: THE EMPRESS (Mitsuru, Margaret, Haru, Cammy)
PERSONA 5 OMISSION:
KEY ITEM:
At Rank 10 Haru will Gift Joker a Dyed Handkerchief, which can be Used to Fuse Mother Harlot.

Partially Confirmed: Cammy still Lives with Juni and as Confirmed in Some Artwork for Lilly, Juli, had returned to the Thunder Foot tribe!
In other Artwork, the Other dolls have returned to Society, though they retain the jobs and non lethal skills they had before.
Even Decapre, scar and all, is living like a normal teenager in London. This gels with the Protection Aspect of the Empress.
NUMBER IV: THE EMPEROR(Hidetoshi, Dojima, Yusuke, Urien)
PERSONA 4 OMISSION
KEY ITEM
Dojima gives Yu a Coffee Mug to Fuse for Chi You.
PERSONA 5 OMISSION
YUSUKE'S KEY ITEM
Yusuke gives you his Painting "Desire And Hope" To Fuse For his high level Persona.
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
RISE OF THE ILLUMINATI
A lot of characters seem to be living their best Lives after Shadoloo fell. But there are hints of the Illuminati coming to the fore. Nayshal is covered In red and Blue bunting and Marissa, though good, is obsessed with Roman life, much like the sect.
NUMBER V THE HIEROPHANT (Old Couple, Kanji, Sojiro, Guile)

STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON 1
WE LEARN MORE ABOUT GUILE'S LINK WITH LUKE AND HIS LATE FATHER.
Ignored. However Luke does take over Guile's Investigation into Ken's Arrest. This gels as a Hierophant as They can represent Father Figures.
HEADCANON 2
GUILE BURIES THE HATCHET WITH HIS BROTHER IN LAW, KEN, TO CLEAR HIS NAME FOR A BOMBING HE DIDN'T COMMIT!
Confirmed: Guile and Luke's efforts exonerates Ken, But Ken fails to thank either and struggles with thoughts of revenge and murder. More on that later.

ANNE'S KEY ITEM.
Panther gives Joker a Fashion magazine to Fuse The Lovers Persona.
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
IF ELENA DOES RETURN, MAKE HER AFFILIATED WITH THE ILLUMINATI. ( NOT EVIL, BUT DUPED BY G!)
The last time we saw the Kenyan Princess was shaking hands with G in his ending. So should she return, have her come back, not fully happy-go-lucky, but with enough of her naivety gone So she can not to be as Trusting!
IGNORED: Lilly has met Elena and she's the same cut and Dry character as ever!
NUMBER VII THE CHARIOT (Kaz, Chie, Ryuji, Zangief)
PERSONA 4 OMISSION
KEY ITEM AND MEAT GUM!
Chie gives Yu her Wristbands. Also In the Fox's first Mission, "I Wish to Lose Weight" Chie gives you Meat Gum to help with the Dieter's Cravings.
PERSONA 5 OMISSION
KEY ITEM
"Skull" gives you his Sportswatch.
PERSONA 5 CORRECTION
SCHOOL FESTIVAL DATES
So in the Let's Play that I saw, The Player had Ranked up Ryuji to the Max and chose to hang out with him the next day. Giving me the impression that this was an automatic event. However Hanging out with all the Characters who go to Shujun Academy (Except Mishima) Will Give/Make you an item that Recovers 100 SPECIAL POINTS Not Health.
They are in order of Arcana
- Makoto's Donuts
- Haru's Sakura Amezaiku, An Artisan Candy Sculpture made from rice syrup or Potato Starch.
- Ann's Cream Puffs
- Ryuji Dog (Which was not a Hot Dog exactly it is A Gyoza)
HEADCANON FOR STREET FIGHTER
REAL WORLD EVENTS WRITES THE PLOT
With Current Events happening in Ukraine, Worldwide Sporting Organisations have banned Russian athletes outright. In Wrestling, real life Wrestlers from Russia, like Natalia Markova had to drop her nationality from her nickname. She was also turned Face, because she could play the heel so well, it would be in bad taste to continue. And Wwe's Ilya Dragonov had to change his gimmick to reflect on him leaving the Country for his family, rather focus on the Russian Mythos of his Gimmick!
Headcanon: Jossed.
Rather than put attention on the Glaring issue of Zangief's nation of origin, Capcom instead Confirms a facet that was mired in rumours: his Sexuality.
Finding a flyer, belonging to a female fighter "Looking for a partner". Zangief Innocently believes that Newcomer Marissa is looking for a tag partner, we learn that the flyer was a Lonely hearts and Zangief has just proven himself in Battle worthy.... Of Marriage!
For the first time ever we see Zangief Actually Nervous! Sure, it adds nothing in terms of tarot narrative! But Dahm he needed character development.
NUMBER VIII STRENGTH (Yuko, Lou Or Daisuke, The Twins, Karin)
PERSONA 3 OMISSION 1
YUKO UNLOCKS MUTATSU
Before being interrupted by the kids, Yoko tell Minato About the Fight at the Nightclub she saw.
PERSONA 3 OMISSION 2
PLEASE AND THANK YOU WORKS
If you ask Yuko to "Cheer me on Please". When she wishes you good look, she give you a quote unquote "Special Drink" that Cures HP and SP.
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING OF MERIT IN STREET FIGHTER 5, KARIN AND ALL THOSE CLOSE TO HER SHOULD NOT RETURN (EXPECT SAKURA)
Tell me, Apart from Eat and Having their Asses handed to them by NPCs in the Cinematic Story- WHAT GOOD DID THEY DO?
WAIT, IF ANYTHING OF MERIT, WARRANTS THE RETURN OF KARIN, BIRDIE, IBUKI, MIKA, AND AKIRA?
NUMBER IX THE HERMIT ("Maya" The Fox, Futaba, Oro)
PERSONA 4 OMISSION
"ARE YOU .... GONNA EAT ALL THAT?"
The Fox's Final Mission is to help a Dying Fisherman Catch The Largest Fish in the Region, The Sea Guardian. But Before you catch him you must catch a Guardian. Requiring an Inaba Jewel As Bait, Eating a Whole Catfish will cure your Special points.
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
GIVEN THAT RYU IS WEARING A DARK PURPLE MASTER'S SASH AND THAT BLANKA IS NOW RUNNING THE JUNGLE OUTPOST, IT SADLY POINTS THAT ORO HAS DIED!
Unknown: Despite Ryu now a master,( Also in the Background of Ryu's Stage, Oro's Tortoise appears out the lake, and stares at a crow before going back for a swim) and Blanka now owning the Jungle Outpost, none make mention of the Century old master.
NUMBER X THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE (Keisuke, Naoto, Chihaya, Ed)
HEADCANON: IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE PUBLIC TO TRUST IN THE NEO SHADALOO ORGANISATION, ED GOES TO NAYSHAL AND UNWITTINGLY BECOMES A PUBLIC FACE OF AMNESIA!

PERSONA 4 OMISSION!
NANAKO'S STICKERS!
In the Second Mission By the Fox, "I Want to Make Friends", a Lonely Child wants stickers to trade, while the Hero presents Tanaka Stickers for Ordering Teleshopping products on a Sunday, only for the child to call them lame, so you ask the only child you know for help!
PERSONA 4 CORRECTION
GOLDEN WEEK.
Golden Week are a group of Religious and National day holidays, who so happens to be next to each other!
STREET FIGHTER CONFIRMATION!
AS REVEALED IN AUDIO LEAKS, CHUN LI'S NEW DOJO AND STUDENTS IN METRO CITY HAVE BEING ATTACKED BY JURI
Confirmed: In both Chun Li and Juri's Stories, The former tries to appeal to Juri's better nature and move on from revenge on the now Deceased Bison.
It doesn't work!
This is the continuation of the Justice card being played straight.
NUMBER XII HANGED MAN (Maiko, Naoki, Iwai, Rolento)
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
DESPITE THE FIRST LEGITIMATE TOURNAMENT HELD IN METRO CITY, NO CONFIRMATION OF ROLENTO'S APPEARANCE IS PROVEN.
Number XIII-DEATH (Pharos, Hisano, Tae, Sagat)
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
SAGAT IS LISTED AS UNPLAYABLE IN STREET FIGHTER 6'S OWN FAN WIKI PAGE!
NUMBER XIV-TEMPERANCE (Bebe, Eri, Sadayo, Crimson Viper)
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
OF ANY GAME WHERE VIPER SHOULD RETURN IT'S THIS ONE!
As I stated in my run down of the temperance card. Viper was trailing Juri to investigate the Illuminati.
But in the new game, Juri is all alone in her one woman crime spree. It wasn't always the case, her and Viper and a scam going where would poses as Assassins for the underworld, only to bleed them dry financially as Viper sent intel to the CIA.
NUMBER XV-THE DEVIL (Tanaka, Sayoko, Ohya, Akuma)
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
AKUMA, AFTER LEARNING OF ORO TEACHING RYU AND MAKING HIM A MASTER, AKUMA GOES ON A RAMPAGE.
NEW HEADCANON AFTER KEN'S STORY.
RACKED WITH ANGER AND THOUGHTS OF REVENGE, AKUMA BRINGS OUT THE SATSUI NO HADOU, GIVING US VIOLENT KEN IN A OFFICIAL GAME!
NUMBER XVI- THE TOWER (Mutastu, Shu, Shinya , Balrog)
FOR REASONS GIVEN IN OFFICIAL EXPANDED UNIVERSE MEDIA, BALROG WILL NOT COMPETE IN STREET FIGHTER 6.
Story wise, as shown in Street fighter 3's Secret Files, Balrog's arm is broken because of Alex.
If Balrog does return, we are told in the same Files, Balrog got his arm broke in a MMA tournament. Will we see The Crazy Buffalo, now as a Shoot fighter?
We shall see.
NUMBER XVII- THE STAR (Mamoru, Teddie, Hifumi, Mika)
PERSONA 4 REFERENCE IN P5.
Haru may ask Joker to Accompany her to a Harvest Moon Festival, There, Haru will buy from an Ornament stand a Lucky, Ornamental Rake that is believe to grant Wealth and Fortune. (A Literal sense of the phrase "Raking it In") When you get home and hang it on your wall, the rake is a familiar shape, all due to a Japanese pun for the word for rake and bear's paw
DING DING DING!
Teddie's at it again! And for those who don't speak Japanese this pun is especially lame!
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON!
GIVEN THAT ZANGIEF'S MOVESET HAS RELEGATED ANYTHING RELATED TO IRON MUSCLE AND MUSCLE SPIRIT IS INTO A SINGLE SUPER, IF MIKA EVEN RETURNS, EXPECT NOTHING TO CHANGE
Jossed: In Zangief's section in World Tour Mode, we see Mika in Street Clothes in Russia Training with a Bear.
NUMBER XVIII-THE MOON (Nozumi, Ai, Mishima, Vega)
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
IF VEGA AND F.A.N.G ARE TRULY DEAD, THEN WHAT IS THEIR CONNECTION TO A.K.I?
Given her And F.a.n.g's Design, Nationality, and Naming convention. It's clear A.K.I belongs to the Poison Hand.
But her long nails are Very Reminiscent of Vega's Signature Claw. Given that Both men would no doubt Blame the other for their death, a New Character that is the blend of both men who hated each other is Hilariously Ironic!
THE SUN (Akinari, Yumi OR Ayame, Yoshida, Sakura)
STREET FIGHTER HEADCANON
ADULT SAKURA MUST HAPPEN
I have my own wishlist for characters I want in Six: Fei Long, Juni, Necro, Gil, Q, Mike Hagger, and Sakura. With the story now caught up to where she is the Adult that reunited with Ryu, it's only a matter of time!
And that's it!
I don't know what the ETA of the first wave of DLC is only that it's later this year. And as of when I Finish this Series in October with my Essay on the World Card, I will not updating any narratives after the Series is over, Should there be, and no doubt a possibility, of other characters in the Artbook having updates! But onwards and upwards to new projects!
To what they may be, Stay Tuned!
