-Tatsumaki Zankukyaku: Akuma spins toward his opponent with his foot outstretched to kick his opponent repeatedly.
-Kongou Kokuretsuzan: Akuma punches the ground and creates a field of demonic energy around him to strike nearby enemies. Enemies hit are knocked to the other side of the arena.

Throws

Super Moves:
-Demon Armageddon: Akuma performs a back-roundhouse kick that sends the opponent into the air, then performs a Tatsumaki that spins him enough to envelop him in a whirlwind of sorts. He slams the whirling kick into the opponent's midsection, then flies right through them, doing massive damage with that single strike.
-Wrath of the Raging Demon Akuma say Prepare yourself! Die one thousand deaths! The screen goes black as 27 'hit sparks' flash, with the opponent screaming in pain as if they were just knocked out. The camera then closes up on Akuma after the last hit lands, with the ten kanji (天, "heaven") appearing on his back and in the background as well, his downed opponent lying at his feet.and says This is Messatsu!
FATALITIES:
-Demon Sacrifice: Akuma roars as he charges his fist with ki, then punches the opponent so hard that his hand goes right into their body. With another roar, he retracts his hand to reveal that he's holding their still-beating heart. As the opponent falls to the ground, dying, he crushes it in his grip with an air of finality.
-Failure's Consequence: Akuma stamps a foot, the kanji for "demon" flashing behind him, then punches the opponent four times. Stepping back from the attack, he turns away from the opponent, who keels forward as three parts of their back fly outward. Finally, the back of their head explodes outward and they fall to the ground, dead.
Intro: Akuma stands, back turned to the camera, then looks over his shoulder. He then turns around to stomp the ground, the Satsui no Hado aura flashing briefly, before taking his combat pose.
Outro: Akuma will raise a hand into the air, punch the ground, then turn his back to the camera, the "heaven" kanji symbol blazing on his back.

Theme Song: Akuma's Theme from "Street Fighter IV"
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Prologue: Akuma, the raging demon, has yet to meet a true challenge. Even that fool, Bison, couldn't stand up to his demonic fury, his incredible skill, and his terrifying strength. One night, for reasons unknown to him, Akuma found himself in an unfamiliar world. A messenger reached him and gave him the offer of competing in the Death Battle tournament. On finding out that his opponents would be from different worlds, Akuma agreed out of the curiosity and hope of proper opponents showing up...
Rival Cutscene:
(Akuma strides forward, slow and steady, then stops, clenches his fist, and shouts to the heavens...)
Akuma: Is this all you have to offer?! Everyone I've faced has been WEAK! GIVE ME A REAL FIGHT!!!
(Akuma's attention is grabbed and he turns to slam his fist into whatever is behind him: a flaming skull. Not too far away is his past foe, Shang Tsung.)
Akuma: YOU? I killed you once already, shapeshifter.
Tsung: I cannot die so easily, Raging Demon.
Akuma: I don't have time for weaklings like you. Get out of my sight.
(Akuma begins to walk away, only for Shang Tsung to appear in front of him with a Hot Escape)
Tsung: You will not leave this place! Not until I reclaim that which is mine!
Akuma: (growls) If you want to die again, SO BE IT! (stomps on the ground and takes iconic pose)
Tsung: YOUR SOUL WILL BE MINE! (hands glow with green energy)
Ending: Akuma defeated every other Death Battle participant, almost with incredible ease. After defeating the likes of Superman, Thor, Goku and Vegeta, he saw himself as a perfect warrior. On returning to his realm, he saw everyone else, not himself, as the challenger. He was now the one everyone aspired to defeat...and Akuma wouldn't have it any other way, seeing himself as the best and crushing hopeless opponent after hopeless opponent. He truly had become a demon.
