As a brazillian, even though Rikuo/Aulbath is not my go to character in Darkstalkers, i kinda like and am happy with him representing us. It's a happy coincidence, but there is a folkloric creature here and quite common to the Amazon (afaik): The Negro D'água (Black One from the Water), and is a fairly peaceful creature (but vengeful if crossed). Kinda like Rikuo. And yes, it is, basicly, his species.
In Brazil, there's the legend of the "Nego d'água" (Water's black man), that is an amphibious man who lives in the Amazon river and afluents. His preferred trick is to drop canoes and bind fishers' hooks to rocks or underwater branches.
I've been binge-watching your Darkstalkers stuff because I wanted to know who was good and who was evil, and I am pleasantly surprised that Rikuo is a very definitely good guy, for all those claws and fish fins. Also the deep-sea fishfolk with their fishing-lure things are adorable.
I am very happy that Rikuo got a happy ending even though he lost everything in the beginning he Rebuild its with the support of his family And I'm also Glad he found Love ❤️
Rikuo was one of my favorite fighters of the series, I love the character design, the background music, winning pose of his stage from darkstalkers 1 and 2, not to mention the ending theme(s)..most memorable which one of the reasons why I started to admire video game music in the 1st place.
Anyone else notice he is a dlc costume in dead rising deluxe remaster i think if any darkstalkers character deserves the love its rikuo best darkstalkers character yeah i said it and im glad capcom are finally doing something cool with him.
@@Dopamiin3lol well thats good im glad new fans are coming to learn the story about him though you should really play darkstalkers its really fun you gotta pick rikuo of course he has the best story/lore gameplay and desgin you cant go wrong. 😊
4:44 This image here is just so wholesome, having the Darkstalkers (and Dark Hunter Hsien-KO) admiring/cuddling little Ricky. Even Q-Bee; a member of an entire race that consumes flesh is enamored by the petite fishy boy. Then you look at Rikuo, who appears to be in distress and wonder what is he so concerned about? ...And BOOOOM 4:47 Felicia's holding utensils and lip-smacking, ready to snack on his son! The owner of an orphanage is being held by her own cat instincts, oh the irony. Go you curiously attractive fishman go, your wife is too distracted, you're the only hope for his survival, it's now or never, SAVE YOUR SON!!!
If a Darkstalkers 4 were to happen, Capcom should hire Doug Erholtz to be Rikuo’s voice actor. After all Doug knows a thing when it comes to voice male characters with beauty or best looking guys.
The theme song for Rikuo is one of the best that I still listen on my MP3, and I always liked his character design, besides having Anakaris as my main.
I remember him being my favorite character, easily tied for number 1 with Gallon(I've gotten used to using his Japanese name over his English), especially since when I was younger i had an in ground pool and would spend literal hours of my summer all the way up till it became too cold to keep it open any longer swimming when I wasn't playing games. I had to cover the pool for good due to not being able to keep it up by myself (7 foot deep in ground pools are a LOT of work..) and now the only way I can go swimming is if I pay a fee to go to a local aquatic center..needless to say I haven't been swimming in years..but I still remember fondly floating in the water and in my head..I became this character.
4:22 Just what I like in a man, Curiously Attractive! Even though you are Curiously Attractive. Even though you are Curiously Attractive for a fishman! I do not believe you, though you are Strangely Attractive! You are Curiously Attractive for a fishman.
This video was curiously attractive for being about a fishman.
Ah man... right in the nostalgia.
He's a ruler, a dad, and he's handsome, all fine qualities
For a fishman
2019 and he is still curiously attractive.
2022 and he is still curiously attractive.🤔
@@dessopopp 2023...And he's still curiously attractive.
@@dessopopp 2023 attractive and curiously still
Oh yeah He is So Hot
a happy story line option for Darkstalkers? who would have figured?
MarkEdwardRom rikuo has a happy ending ...felicia has a happy ending I think Q-b has one. .... That's itXD
I was about to say this. No depressing feeling at the end of this one.
That's what bees do though. It's positive for her.
Felicia: Dinner!!
Rikuo: DAD MODE ACTIVATED
Felicia: Cold sweat
Curiously attractive fishman tribute is the best as the rest of the darkstalkers characters, ftw.
Every one is curious for Rikuo's attractiveness.
he is curiously attractive
god i never really understood the hate rikuo got, especially since he's so curiously attractive
cool. we need a new dark stalkers game. all the characters look so unique and interesting instead of just a rainbow of ninjas or karate outfits. ahem.
No one can deny, he is... Curiously attractive...

All this talk about an attractive fish man reminds me of the shape of water.

Coming back to this video in *2021* and i still can't get over how *Curiously Attractive this fishman is.*
Rikuo vs Sidon XD
Seems like Sidon follows this curiously attractivenes, is this a fishmen thing?
I've been binge-watching your Darkstalkers stuff because I wanted to know who was good and who was evil, and I am pleasantly surprised that Rikuo is a very definitely good guy, for all those claws and fish fins.

Was wondering when you would get to him! my favorite character. 💜
Mine too
A new video staring the attractive fishman!
Dude. I always wanted to understand the lore of Darkstalkers. Your videos make it so simple and informative. Thanks man!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Your editing skills are godlike
I am very happy that Rikuo got a happy ending even though he lost everything in the beginning he Rebuild its with the support of his family
And I'm also Glad he found Love ❤️

Being a father, I wonder if he would tell dad jokes like why I feel like a fish out of water
2021 and Rikuo is still curiously attractive
Bro now i want him and deadpool to interact so deadpool can reply to him "You are curiously atrractive" in marvel vs capcom infinite
I want a new Darkstalkers game so bad. Rikuo is awesome.
Ever since he became a charge character, his duty is to stay home and be a family man.
Brazilian curiously attractive fish-man
"curiously attractive for a fish man". imagine having a t-shirt with that line/print. lol
Anyone else notice he is a dlc costume in dead rising deluxe remaster i think if any darkstalkers character deserves the love its rikuo best darkstalkers character yeah i said it and im glad capcom are finally doing something cool with him.
Same reason why im here lol. Never played darkstalkers but his design and song is awesome
@@Dopamiin3lol well thats good im glad new fans are coming to learn the story about him though you should really play darkstalkers its really fun you gotta pick rikuo of course he has the best story/lore gameplay and desgin you cant go wrong. 😊
Rikuo also has the best theme song in D2!
I'm so glad to see that your still doing these DarkStalker videos, keep it up😀
the shape of water (2017)

It's also funny that the shuffle on my liked videos playlist chose "SpongeBob Audio - Clams" as the video I'll watch...Very fitting for Rikuo.
he's quite popular here in Brazil, since players used to say he is inspired in brazilian legend of Caboclo D´água, a hibrid betwen man and fish.
men, now i can feel Halloween comin, thanks a lot
your voice during this episode was curiously attractive
Why did a lot of people dislike him when the series was relevant? By relevant, I mean when the games were being released.
Damn he be lookin' kind of fresh doe
Its true, when i first played darkstalkers in arcades i chose rikuo the merman. Now i like werewolf
Felicia wants to eat the baby 4:46 lol
Well she’s a cat and the baby is a fish so it makes sense
Clicked that Like button before started watching the video, just cause you bring such love when editing your videos and introducing these characters.
If a Darkstalkers 4 were to happen, Capcom should hire Doug Erholtz to be Rikuo’s voice actor. After all Doug knows a thing when it comes to voice male characters with beauty or best looking guys.
We all love handsome Brazilian men, am I right?
A fish that is attractive? Nice!
Im now imagining Rikuo starring in Shape of water
Excellent series - keep up the great work
So glad I discovered your channel
Doesn't Rikuo have the most animations compared to other darkstarlkers? His trips, his transformations into other aquatic creatures...etc?
My favorite curiously attractive fishman.
To be fair, in Darkstalkers 3's artwork he does look kinda bishie.
Jedah is next?? =)
4:52 Felicia? Eat Ricky, and you'll face the sea's wrath!
So happy your doing more of this. Please do Q-Bee next!
I juat saw The Shape of Water last night and immediately reminded me of this guy. I think I'll go play some Darkstalkers on my 360 now😎
Fishman or not, he is curiously attractive.
Why deny it. As far as fishmen go the guy is darn good lookin.
My favorite character, next to Demitri!
Felicia face at 4:52 is just nefarious
The theme song for Rikuo is one of the best that I still listen on my MP3, and I always liked his character design, besides having Anakaris as my main.
I spied the inspiration plot for Finding Nemo.
He’s quite attractive for a fish man
Your descriptions and commentary hit everything nail on the head. I love it
he was the coolest character when i first tried darkstalkers.
What an oddly attractive man fish. 😳
Yo do this for Rival School characters also please or a KOF retrospective
lol i love how he had no intro cause he was legit given that little love
Have you seen my son, Ricky?!
I never knew Merlin from Finding Nemo was a guest character in Darkstalkers.
Make Q-Bee next! There is almost nothing about her. Or is really hard to find
And just like the Shape of Water, e'rybody wanna fucka fishman.
If anyone watches death battle at screw attack, we should vote for a aquaman vs submariner vs rikuo.
I remember him being my favorite character, easily tied for number 1 with Gallon(I've gotten used to using his Japanese name over his English), especially since when I was younger i had an in ground pool and would spend literal hours of my summer all the way up till it became too cold to keep it open any longer swimming when I wasn't playing games.

(Checks over his shoulder for witnesses) ....Oh who am I kidding? I'm already furry/scalie trash, he IS curiously attractive for a fishman!
Absolute favorite character to play as, great video!
4:22
Just what I like in a man, Curiously Attractive!
Even though you are Curiously Attractive.
Even though you are Curiously Attractive for a fishman!
I do not believe you, though you are Strangely Attractive!
You are Curiously Attractive for a fishman.
I can't decide whether I want to main bishamon or rikuo.
The original Prince Sidon
Jesus christ why is he curiously attractive for a fishman
i wasn't expecting another one so soon. great stuff. continue the great work
I've been told iam curiously attractive
It's good they made him handsome, Gill man was supposed to be scary on how human he was.
I only started watching your videos recently but when I saw you started back making them again I got really excited please keep it going!!
I did not know there was a USA Darkstalkers show until Death Battle.
Glad I did not see it as a kid.
Ah darkstalkers was part of my childhood in mexico one of my favorite fighting games from capcom
He was my favorite character from the game
He may be a fishman, but he is loyal and a warrior of his land.
Thank you for doing these. I love this series.
VAI BRASIL
You make October even more amazing! And please...Rikuo is a super popular character...in Darkstalkers yaoi~
He's curiously attractive for a merman
Rikuo is the most interesting and unique looking Darkstalker, he needs to appear in a Vs. Game, preferably Infinite.
This was the one I wanted to see first but Demitri is definitely a start 😝
These are fun.
I mean he is Handsome.
I loved going to green scream or rikuos stage for a match. The music is Beautiful ❤️🤩
I think we found miss puffs husband
Thank you so much!
Loved his stage music
