Sahad Asran Ryuto (サハド・アスラーン・リュート, Ryuto صهد عسران) is a character from the Power Instinct game series. He has only appeared in three games to date, having been a playable character in two of them. His most recent appearance is in CR Goketsuji Ichizoku as an event character. In the Japanese version of Power Instinct Legends he was referred to as "Sahado". Sahad was voiced by Seigo Aihara in Power Instinct 2 and Power Instinct Legends.
During the development of Power Instinct 2, the idea behind Ryuto was to create a character strongly inspired by Lawrence of Arabia, but the final result ended up being very different in personality and appearance.
About Ryuto[]
Ryuto is a young man that left childhood behind on a early age. He always seems calm and is apparently hard to make angry, sad or have any expressive reaction to anything. People usually find him trustworthy, but he's sometimes a little insecure. He believes that certain events and fortunes are determined by the stars.
As a member of a very important family, Sahad Asran Ryuto has been instructed in many artistic and athletic disciplines. The difference between Ryuto and other high-class boys is that his mother hails from a lineage of magicians so he was also trained from a young age (it is said he can take his magic abilities to their limits when he releases all emotions).
Repressed Emotions[]
Ryuto is the youngest child in his family and the only boy, having three older sisters: Francheska, Sofia and Sarah. The three have a 'spoiled rich girl' attitude, being a bit snobbish and haughty.
The arrival of Ryuto to the family was highly celebrated by the three sisters but shortly, their relationship became similar to that of Cinderella and her evil step sisters, where the girls usually overreacted or mocked anything that Ryuto did or said, mostly making him feel terrible about himself.
That's why Ryuto slowly learned to hide his emotions in order to avoid being bullied.
Ryuto's True Power[]
One day in kindergarten at the age of 5, Ryuto had a hard time befriending the other children. Every time he tried to be friendly with them, he was immediately rejected. A group of kids then called Sahad a freak and said that no one will ever play with him.
Hearing those words made Ryuto's sensible heart break and minutes later something unexplainable happened; The earth started to shake and the floor began to split apart. People that were present that day said that he had an evil aura about him.
That day Ryuto realized that there was something special about him, so he started to experiment and find out what he was capable of. He discovered that if he stopped repressing himself, he could be very strong and very dangerous. That gave him another reason not to lose control over his emotions and to avoid any kind of conflict, but in the Goketsuji Tournament he was willing to use his true power if necessary.
Participation Details[]
- Power Instinct
Ryuto didn't participate in the 16th Goketsuji Tournament because he had only heard stories about it. After watching some fights from it on TV, he decided that he would participate in the next one.
- Power Instinct 2
Ryuto remembered childhood stories about his family being conformed by the strongest fighters in the world and that a tournament was held to determine their leader. He was always curious about his heritage, oriental culture and martial arts, so he figured that perhaps the tournament would be a good opportunity to discover that side of his family. With help from his guardian Apia Chia Chia, Ryuto is confident on winning the Goketsuji tournament and maybe earning the respect of his three sisters.
- Goketsuji Legends
Ryuto has all that a man could wish for, so of course he didn't show too much interest when Kanji invited him to participate in his tournament. Kanji then told him that Angela was participating in the tournament. Upon hearing this, Ryuto immediately changed his mind and entered to the tournament just to see Angela again.
- Toukon Matrimelee
Ryuto received an invitation to participate in the Matrimelee tournament. However he missed his flight to Certain Country, plus he left his magic lamp behind on accident. He already had interest in someone and did not make any extraordinary effort to participate in a tournament where the prize was the engagment to a princess.
Special Moves[]
- Saber Shot - Ryuto hurls a spinning sword at his opponent. If is done with the light punch button, Sahad will throw a dagger instead.
- Saber Angle Shot - Much like the above move, but the sword will go upwards at an angle.
- Fire Storm - Ryuto unleashes a large blast of flame from his mouth. This move can be done while dashing.
- Flame Attack - Dashing forward, he grabs his foes and engulfs them in flames before throwing them aside.
- Apia Chia Chia - Ryuto kneels down and holds out his lamp. His djinn then rises out from the lamp to surprise his attacking foes.
- Apia Chia Chia Plus - Ryuto summons his djinn to hover above his foe's head for a short time, occasionally attacking the foe in the process. He had this move in Power Instinct Legends.
- Arabian Parrot - Ryuto transforms himself into a parrot, and can fire arrows and fireballs at the opponent from above. He will change back to normal after a short time has passed or until he is hit. He had this move in Power Instinct Legends.
- Justin Magic - Ryuto's super attack. He rises into the air and throws a gigantic spinning flaming sword down at his enemy to cause massive damage.
