A phrase refering to the 'murdurous intent' of a person. However, this feeling is not generated by rage or revenge but by
the will to win.
A common
trait of people with Satsou no Hadou or those who will only challenge
competitors who are worthy enough.
An example of Satsou no Hadou is within the warrior
Ryu, from the Street Fighter games. He is said to have fought the mighty warrior
Sagat, only to be near beaten. When Sagat lent a hand to help Ryu up, Satsou no Hadou swept into Ryu and he attacked Sagat, wounding him with a terrible scar. This is the power of Satsou no Hadou -
the will to win above all.
