Super bad ass that destroys everything.

Also is a leader.

And can also be from Street Fighter.

If you name a character this, nobody will want to fuck with them.
"Aw fuck dude, I just saw Ryu..."
"Yeah man? What happened?"
"He beat my ass, took my moneyz, and tornado-bagged me"

Get the Ryu mug.
There is no true definition for this word. It can be used in any context. When it's implemented, the recipient will become confused.
John: "My sister's corpse was found at the back of a Macy's parking lot"
Steve: "Ryu dude"

Jack:" Happy birthday"
Jill: "fucking Ryus"

Get the Ryu mug.
1. Japanese in origin, it simply means "Dragon."

2. An emotionally detached, wandering closet neurotic who also happens to be the focal point of Capcom's immensely popular "Street Fighter" series. Since the mid-1980s, this enigmatic drifter has searched the globe far-and-wide looking for the true meaning of "the fight."

His one and only friend is the arrogant and haughty bi-ethnic rich boy Ken Masters, who somehow, with all of the monetarial wealth he posesses, cannot purchase a pair of tweezers and tweeze his overtly bushy eyebrows.

Did I mention that he (Ryu) may also be psychologically disturbed?

Kyle: I think that Ryu should be the poster-boy for all vagrants out there.

Lou: What the hell's a 'vagrant'?

Get the ryu mug.
That martial arts guy from Street Fighter who always beats up his friend Ken in every game. Ryu also enjoys picking fights with poor innocent dictators, demon-possessed martial-artists, and sorcerers, who are all just trying to make their way in the world. Apparently, Ryu also has a schoolgirl fetish, which explains why that Sakura babe keeps following him around since Street Fighter Alpha 2.
Ryu mopped the floor with Ken (again) with his Super Spinning Kick attack.

Get the ryu mug.
A wondering martial artist originating in the Capcom phenominon Street Fighter 2. He has three distinct special attacks: the HaDouKen (Ki ball attack), the ShoRyuKen (Spinning uppercut), and the TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku (Hurricane Kick). In the console games it often impossible to tell what he is yelling out when he does a move. Most think his moves are "oh yuken," hadooket," and "hapjapjapjeruket." Ryu and Ken are close friends.
I don't have any examples.... STOP LOOKING HERE!
