Thunder Ryu is a middle-aged Japanese man. He is always dressed in a black business suit with slicked-back black hair. He wields [[D.O.S.]], a yellow-bladed beam katana resembling a shirasaya. As a Yakuza, Thunder Ryu has an intimidating personality, but sees potential in Travis and encourages him to keep fighting. He is skilled in sword-fighting and pro-wrestling moves, knowledge which he passes on to Travis through often homo-erotic training sessions. | |||

Thunder Ryu is the owner of [[Thunder Ryu Bldg.]] and offers to train [[Travis Touchdown]] when he arrives and manages to impress him. Thunder Ryu later appears in [[Speed City]], fighting [[Speed Buster]] in a duel before Travis's arrival. Thunder Ryu is distracted by [[Jeane (cat)|Jeane]], and is killed by Speed Buster's laser. Thunder Ryu's last words were words of encouragement for Travis. | Thunder Ryu is the owner of [[Thunder Ryu Bldg.]] and offers to train [[Travis Touchdown]] when he arrives and manages to impress him.

Despite being dead, Thunder Ryu's [[lingering consciousness|spirit]] remains in the Thunder Ryu Bldg. and continues to train Travis. Later, when Travis is traveling through the [[Forest of Bewilderment]], he is guided by Thunder Ryu's spirit who tells Travis which direction to go. Finally, he gives a letter to Travis containing his final message, before fading away. | Despite being dead, Thunder Ryu's [[lingering consciousness|spirit]] remains in the Thunder Ryu Bldg. and continues to train Travis.
