"Go to heaven."
Retsu (烈, lit. "Furious") is a non-playable character in the first Street Fighter game as one of the ten CPU Fighters.
Just before the first World Warrior tournament, Retsu was indefinitely excommunicated from his temple for using forbidden techniques. After losing to young Ryu, he has since strived for repentance and is training to further improve his martial arts.

Though unplayable in the vanilla build, he has been made playable in the SF1++ hack. He is often considered a high tier with good defense and damage, but he struggles in a few matchups, especially against top tiers.
In SF1++, Retsu is selected by holding Lp.png at the title screen or VS. Screen and pressing Start.
