Īs far as the original Street Fighter II characters go, Blanka is… well, wild - literally, because he was raised by animals in the Brazilian rainforest, but also figuratively because he’s the exception to the rest of the World Warriors. I’ve also made a video explainer for this post that you can watch here.
This one mostly stands on its own, but it does build on some ideas introduced in part one, which details the origins for every character aside from Blanka. This is part two in a series on the origins of Street Fighter II character names.
