Datta: "She said he won't be back for a while. I bet she's really lonely."

Dhalsim: "I must leave you for a while. I'm going to bring our water back."

Ending (SFIV)

Villager: "Congratulations, Master Dhalsim!"

Datta: "It's from Amy!"

Amy: "Daddy just got back from a difficult job. We'll throw him a party tonight! Your friend, Amy."

Datta: "I wonder what kind of party...I bet it'll be really fancy."

Datta: "This looks more fun than any party! The water's so pretty!"

Intro (SSFIV)

• "The men who robbed our village of water, they wore a symbol that resembles that of Shadaloo. We had thought them to be destroyed, yet I cannot shake the feeling that they still lurk in the shadows, weaving dark and evil plots, preparing for the moment when they will strike again. The power I possess is divine. It is not for mortal men to use for their own simple desires... Yet, I feel compelled to restore hope and vitality to my village by bringing the water back no matter what the cost. Hear me, Agni, god of fire. Watch over me as I in turn watch over those I love. Grant me the strength to vanquish evil."

Ending (SSFIV)

Dhalsim: "Shadaloo and S.I.N.... You toy with life and try to manipulate nature to your own selfish ends. I know that evil will never truly be vanquished from this earth, and sometimes seems an endless gaping void, but still..."

Datta: "Father!"

Dhalsim: "I retain my hope in humanity. For the goodness in mankind's heart is also endless..."

Character Story

Stage: Apprentice Alley

Interaction 1: Rashid

(Prologue)

Mahesh: "Master Dhalsim, I've come to ask you to teach me in the ways of yoga."

Dhalsim: "For what purpose do you wish to know?"

Mahesh: "My purpose... is to become stronger, and protect our people as you do."

Dhalsim: "The path of Yoga is one of harmony, not violence. Its power is not in strength, but understanding."

Mahesh: "I... I didn't mean..!"

Dhalsim: "...Maybe I could."

Mahesh: "Th...thank you wise Master! Then we..."

Rashid: "Ah, so there you are!"

Rashid (continued): "Are you THE Dhalsim? "One of the seven Yoga Masters you have to meet at least once?" That's what the net calls you."

Azam: "MASTER!"

Dhalsim: "The "net"...?"

Mahesh: "Just who are you?! Master Dhalsim is busy..."

Rashid: "Sorry, I definitely understand. I haven't much time either."

Rashid (continued): "Well, I would be extremely appreciative if you could teach me theskill of Yoga. Shouldn't take too long. I just need you to indulge me in a single match."

Azam: "Master..."

Dhalsim: "And why is it that you seek to improve your skill?"

Rashid: "I can't say. But please, I just need to be stronger or else... Please..."

Dhalsim: "Hmm..."

Pre-Fight Interaction

Dhalsim: "Understood... Let's fight."

(Epilogue)

Rashid: "Huh... I thought if I saw you fight at least once, I'd learn most, if not all of it. I suppose with Yoga there's no shortcut, eh?"

Azam: "Master."

Dhalsim: "No there isn't. Yoga isn't something you can learn in a short span of time."

Rashid: "I thought as much. Well, at least I got to fight someone extroridinary skilled as you. It was a good experience."

Rashid (continued): "One more thing, I'm sure you know many people. Have you seen this person?"

Dhalsim: "No..."

Rashid: "I see. Thank you then. Take care."

Mahesh: "Were you OK with that? To show a person like him the skills in the way of Yoga?"

Dhalsim: "You shouldn't worry. He seeks skills to do good, just as you."

Dhalsim (continued): "He may not have mastered the skills, but if he gained something from fighting me which will help him, then good will come of it."

Mahesh: "Hmm..."

Interaction 2: Oro

Mahesh: "Oh!"

Dhalsim: "This is what is released in tandem with prayer to the God Agni. The very basics of Yoga."

Oro: "What an odd thing you're doing."

Dhalsim: "You are...!"

Mahesh: "He... He's floating! Is that Yoga?!"

Oro: "Hehe! Does this really look like Yoga to you? Your disciple has a lot to learn."

Dhalsim: "I never thought I would encounter you at a place like this."

Oro: "Just killing time. I sensed interesting people here, so here I am."

Oro (continued): "And by the way, why would you have a disciple like him? His skill is very and he'll only become an obstacle to your own training."

Dhalsim: "I believe in him, and I want to spread the knowledge of Yoga to help and support others."

Dhalsim (continued): "The improvement of my own skills are secondary. My ultimate goal is to harmonize the universe."

Dhalsim (continued): "Even if it takes a lifetime, I believe my actions, in and of themselves, inevitably set me upon the right path."

Oro: "Haha, not to completely master the skill but instead spread the skill. I see you haven't changed at all."

Dhalsim: "Are you leaving already?"

Oro: "I'm sensing another interesting person around here. You should make me a tasty curry next time. Be well."

Mahesh: "Master Dhalsim, who was that?"

Dhalsim: "He is a long lived hermit, master of Senjutsu."

Interaction 3: R. Mika

(Prologue)

Dhalsim: "Yoga!"

Mahesh: "Huuugh, huuugh, huugaha, gaha, gaha..."

Mahesh (continued): "No, I can't..."

Dhalsim: "Impatience is muddling your mind. Calm yourself."

R. Mika: "Excuse me, can I talk to you?"

Dhalsim: "Huh?"

R. Mika: "Hello, my name is Rainbow Mika and I belong to the Iwashigahama Japan Women's Pro Wrestling! Could you teach me how to breathe fire? Like what you just did now?"

Mahesh: "Wrestling?"

R. Mika: "That's right! That skill would be perfect. If I did that in the ring... the crowd would go wild and...!"

Pre-Fight Interaction

Dhalsim: "You needn't say anymore, I understand your passion. Why don't you learn it by fighting with me?"

R. Mika: "Thank you so much for your time!"

Post-Fight Interaction

R. Mika: "Guess not! I'm not ready to breathe fire!"

(Epilogue)

Dhalsim: "Mika, mastering Yoga is not easy."

Dhalsim (continued): "Although you can't yet breathe fire, your passion will ignite the flame in the future. And when it does, it will ignite everyone."

R. Mika: "My passion... will ignite...!"

R. Mika (continued): "I think I... I think I learned something! Thank you! Thank you for teaching me sir!"

Ending

Mahesh: "Haaagh!"

Dhalsim: "Hmm. It was an excellent fire."

Mahesh: "B...But it wasn't as big as yours, Master Dhalsim."

Dhalsim: "The size of the flame is not what is important."

Dhalsim (continued): "You are training your mind. Skill will only be a guide. When you care for someone your mind is what will become the flame. It also becomes the power to create harmony."

Dhalsim (continued): "To help you create that harmony, I will do all that can for as long as it takes."

Mahesh: "Master Dhalsim...!"

A Shadow Falls

• "Hmm?"
• "I will help you."
• "Your mind is completely calm in battle. But, if you continue to suppress the Hado, you will be consumed by it. Once again, you need to face the Hado that you are hiding inside of you."
• "That's the...!"
• "Look out!"
• "Do not let the Satsui no Hado take you over!"
• "Long ago, I was told about an ancient being who consumes warriors' souls. This ancient being... only appears at a time when many warriors are needed. That is, when the world is in a time of great crisis."
• "You must go. His soul is no longer a sacrifice for you to devour."

Dhalsim's Style: Mastery

Dhalsim: "May the sacred flames be forever by your side. Yoga!"

• "In unarmed combat, there are pliant and unyielding methods. I, of course, favor the former, but practitioners of unyielding techniques can be found everywhere. Martial artists like Zangief and Honda are unyielding. You would do well to visit them and walk their paths to mastery. Both pliant and unyielding methods are strong, in their own unique ways. But that is only because they are wielded by the stout of heart. Find other teachers, and experience their strength for yourself."
• "I pose a question to you. what is it you seek beyond strength?
  • (Answer: I seek only to become stronger.)
  • (Honestly, I'm still not sure.) "Worry not, child. You need only to continue forward, hesitant as you are. However there is one thing you must never forget. Do not lose sight of the path you follow... or yourself."
• "Many souls visit this place. Seekers of yoga's path, pilgrims offering prayers to Agni, and the lost, seeking to find themselves once more. This temple exists to guide them. May it serve as a place of guidance for you, as well."
• "Your efforts have served you well, and you may now extend your limbs at will. A useful technique for battle, certainly, but one originally developed to help others, not harm them. Having learned my techniques, I only ask that you use them not to satisfy your own desires."
• "Create a fist within your heart. Have no fear simply do as I instruct. Good Allow me to pose a question to you. What lies beyond that fist?
  • (Answer: Me. I'm standing there.) "I see. You have caught your shadow, then."
  • (Answer: Is that...Bosch?) " I see. This is your friend...or perhaps a mortal foe?"
• "Forget not what you saw. You wish to transcend the shadow, yet it remains inextricably linked to you. It is up to you to interpret its significance."
• "Do you enjoy curry? Not to boast, but I am rather preferential. In fact, I explore new blends of spices daily. Every spice has its quirks. Everything from the amount used to climate and temperature can affect the final flavor. I often prepare the same curry from one day to the next, only to discover that the flavor has changed completely. Curry's road is an endless one. And endlessly rewarding. Not unlike the path to strength. It is fascinating, in any case. If you are curious, I would be happy to pass on my teachings to you. We shall begin with a comprehensive study of the characteristics of over fifty spices...Hmm? That look on your face... Are you, perhaps, not particularly interested in curry? Hum... So be it. if you ever feel a rising urge to study curry, we can always continue at that time." (A Bond With Dhalsim: 1)
• "To attain strength, you must train the body... and the heart, as well. Unlike physical development, spiritual development is invisible to the eye. Remember, then, that strength is not defined by that which you can see."
• "Rest is necessary during your training. You are traveling the world, yes? When visiting foreign lands, take the time to sample the local cuisine. Food reflects the culture of its people. Eat, and open your mind to newfound insights."
• "This temple is a frequent destination for the lost. It is not as if I guide them all personally, however. There are many who need only be given peace, in order to find the way for themselves. To guide is to do more than to just instruct or teach. Such is its enigmatic nature."
• "Have you heard of "The Seven Yoga Masters in the World You Gotta Meet At Least Once"?
  • (Answer: Sorry, doesn't ring any bells.) "Ah, so you are not aware! That is a relief! But... No. Perhaps I should tell you."
  • (Answer: I read something online about them!) "Hmm... I suspected as much. This remains an issue over which I have little control.
• "I was included in an article, once, about yoga masters across the globe. Soon, I was inundated with requests from prospective students. The lines at the temple were a sight to behold. I welcome anyone whose interest in yoga is sincere, but many came out of thrill-seeking curiosity. It became a local nuisance, so I decided to move. I have since made many a new encounter, but one thing is clear. Care must be taken in how I spread the word of yoga."
• "Would you mind if I shared a story from my past? In the midst of a journey, some locals invited me to play baseball with them. They explained the rules. I stood in something called "the batter's box" and hit the ball as it came toward me. They told me to then proceed to the next base, which-to my eyes-appeared remarkably close. I stretched out my legs toward the white splotch marked as my destination... And that is when they informed me I had broken the rules. I was no longer allowed to continue playing. This is what I get for following their instructions. Sports always were a thorny affair..."
• "Once, I grew uncertain about how best to use my power. That is when those around me taught me a valuable lesson. Though this power can be used to harm, its true purpose is to help others. What lies beyond that fist of yours? What purpose does it serve? Ask yourself that question, always."
• "After hearing the cries of many, and showing the way to many more, one thing has become clear to me. In all things, teachings others helps us better measure ourselves. I am no exception. As I guide, I am guided by others in turn. Heh, It appears this concept yet eludes your grasp. You will understand it in time, as you walk the path."
• "These eyes have borne witness to many things. However, there is still much that eludes my sight. Take my wife Sally, and my son Datta. The matters of their hearts remain a mystery to me. Put simply, I have no idea what goes through their heads. Be that as it may...perhaps love is so profound precisely we cannot see it."
• "You have become considerably stronger, I see. I believe you now possess the power you need. If I am correct, then extend that fist to save others. Not a destructive fist, but a healing one. And to wield it is an ordeal the likes of which you do not yet know. If you lose your way on the path... Heh. I shall be here."
• "The path's end. Can you see it? In your training with me, you found the answer. Show it to me now." (Pre-Mastery Fight)
• "I see it now. Your undeniable ability. Your eyes that see one step ahead." (Mastery Achieved)
• "What is strength? Many have sought the answer, becoming lost along the way. The answer is never the same. I pray you find your answer someday."
• "Travel. Seek out other teachers. Each teacher possesses strength all their own. Experience it firsthand, and you will soon understand it as well. No destination is needed. Awareness of the great peak that lies before us can be enough to inspire newfound knowledge."
• "I was doing some housecleaning the other day. As I admired the family photos lining the shelves, memories of my past stirred. I met my wife Sally in Mumbai. She was a student at the yoga school I had opened there. She was a brilliant cook. She still is. My son Datta and I often find ourselves overeating. Speaking of Datta-he is currently studying diligently to become a doctor. He can stretch his limbs, just as I can, but he has been reluctant to do so as of late. He says it is..."weird." I seldom speak of my family. Perhaps it was seeing those photos that inspired me...or perhaps it was speaking to you. Whatever the case, I thank you for lending an ear. Let us resume your training, shall we? (A Bond With Dhalsim: 3)
• "I discovered a new form of yoga recently. Hrmph! Behold! A new frontier for yoga... Ready? Begin by putting both hands on the ground, then perform three and a half twists... Is something the matter? You look...baffled. This cannot be achieved by thinking with your head. Embrace the power of the sun. Submit yourself to the flow. First, put both hands on the ground, then twist your body three and a half times... Hrm. You are not quite there yet. I trust you are not neglecting your daily training, hmm?"
• "Hrm... Do you have a moment? It is almost time for the temple's prayer session. Who do you pray to? Or do you have no recipient for your prayers? Pay it no mind. We all gather in a single place to share a moment's meditation. You have ascended to a height worthy of your presence in this place. What you witness there may serve as a new guidepost to you. Open the eye of your heart, and rediscover the world anew." (A Bond With Dhalsim: 4)

Master Missions

Helping Hands

• "A closed fist can strike a foe. But a hand outstretched in the aid of others is itself a form of strength. Help those in need, and you will know this truth for yourself. It will serve as training for the heart."
• Miller: "Man, I'm screwed. I was gonna buy a ticket, but my money got stolen... Granny's sick back home, and here I am, up the creek without a paddle... If only someone could spot me 3,000 Zenny..."
  • (Answer: Spot him the cash.) "Wait, for real? Thanks so much! Gosh, you're a real saint! Thanks again! You can be sure my grandma's gonna get an earful how nice you are!"
• Linda: "What in tarnation is going on here! There are barrels all over the park! I tell kids not to toss empty cans on the sidewalk till I'm blue in the face, and then THIS happens. "Oh, but you didn't say anything about empty BARRELS." Same problem, only a hundred times bigger! I'm too old to handle those barrels myself, I'm afraid. Oh, won't someone smash these barrels to bits? Think of the environment!
• Linda: "Ah, that's more like it! Feels like a barrel-sized weight's been lifted from my shoulders! I swear, this city gets crazier by the day. But you... You're living proof there are still good people out there. Keep that goodness in your heart, dear! And keep sticking it to any barrels you see! Show them who's boss!" (After destroying three barrels)

Guiding Hands

• "You found a merchant of strange stone sculptures in Metro City? A former student of mine, perhaps. Anik. He strayed from the path. This is quite unexpected. He is free to return should he so desire. If you encounter him again, please let him know."
• Anik: "Yeah? what do you want? Dhalsim wants me to return? Even though I abandoned my training?! Wait...I've been tricking people into buying fake statues! When he finds out what I've done, he'll lose all faith in me! Again! Let's tell him I was selling something else! Like...spices! Yeah, that's the ticket! Mind finding some for me?"
• Anik: "These are some fine-lookin' spices. Just need to make them all presentable... I'll bring these to Dhalsim as a souvenir. Thanks!" (After acquiring Uncommon Spices)
• "As you can see, Anik has returned, and is dedicated to his training. It's all because of you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hmm. Perhaps you, too, possess the necessary qualities. The qualities one must have...to lead. Do not be satisfied with things as they are. Strive always for improvement."

Master Assist

• "To train is a solitary pursuit. You must fight against yourself with every fiber of your being. I can still serve as a guide, however. If you find yourself grappling with uncertainty, you may always request my aid."
• "I see you remain clouded with doubt. But you must face adversity in order to overcome it. If a battle seems insurmountable, you may call upon my aid."

Learning a new technique

• "I shall impart to you a new technique. Never forget, however, that techniques reflect the heart of the user. Whether you use them in service of life or death depends upon your heart."
• "Whether this technique will be of use to you, I know not. I teach it to you now, that it might serve you on your path."
• "New techniques are useless without proper training of the heart."

Sparring

• "You wish to spar with me?"
  • (Answer: Yes) "Very well. I shall face you."
  • (Answer: No) "I shall await the proper time."
• "There is focus in your eyes. You may have what it takes to face your inner self in battle."
  • (Answer: Yes) "Heh. A fire burns within you, I see. Let us begin."
  • (Answer: No) "Breathe deep, and ready yourself."
• "Show me the fruits of your daily training."
  • (Answer: Yes) "You need not hold back. Do not worry, for neither will I."
  • (Answer: No) "I will meditate and then await you."
• "I will show you more of the essence of yoga. If you will face me once more, that is."
  • (Answer: It would be my pleasure!) "Very good. Let us begin."
  • (Answer: Maybe next time.) "Now is not the time, then? When you are ready, speak to me once more."
• "Whether you find this a source of discouragement or motivation is up to you alone." (Post-sparring)
• "Well? Have the horizons of your world expanded?" (Post-sparring)
• "Go on. Chant. Yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga..." (Post-sparring Dhalsim Wins)

Gifts

• "This is for me? (Giving a gift to Dhalsim)
• "The first did not suffice?" (Giving a gift to Dhalsim)
• "A gift? (Giving a gift to Dhalsim)
• "This is quite the oddity. But perhaps this is simply another form of Agni's guidance..." (Reaction to Gift)
• "What manner of... Ultra...mild...curry? A curry that is...mild? I suppose that whatever form it takes, curry remains curry. Which leaves me with but one option. To consume it. Pardon me a moment, will you? Mrrph... Glph... A-Another yoga miracle, this is... I...I thank you for the gift." (Reaction to Instant Curry (Ultra Mild))
• " What...is this? Encountering such a mild flavor was a shock indeed. But all things are in a constant state of flux. My tastes included. Now then, allow me to sample this... Grmph! I-I sense...another yoga miracle... I...I thank you for the gift." (Reaction to Instant Curry (Ultra Mild))
• "My word... A legendary curry, the likes of which I have never seen! The attention paid to its ingredients is downright radiant. No, blinding-its creation was itself a work of art. And you intend to give this to me? I cannot thank you enough!" (Reaction to Supreme Instant Curry)

Happy Birthday, Dhalsim!

• "My year has been one of great reflection. Day after day spent in meditation. You may think it dull, but that the world has had no need to call on a warrior of Agni is proof that all is right. And that is a comfort I think we all can appreciate. Yoga."
