Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a classic good-vs-evil narrative where individual heroes confront a tyrannical villain seeking world domination, which is largely apolitical and does not explicitly promote or critique specific political ideologies.
The movie features a diverse cast of characters, reflecting the global nature of its source material, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on action and character conflict rather than explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The film features Chun-Li, a skilled martial artist, who engages in and wins multiple close-quarters physical fights against male opponents, including a notable victory over the assassin Vega.
The film portrays Dhalsim, a character whose powers and philosophy are clearly rooted in Hindu/Yogic traditions, in a positive light. He is depicted as a wise, powerful, and benevolent figure who uses his spiritual abilities for good.
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The film focuses on its established roster of fighters and their conflict with Shadaloo, without incorporating queer identities or experiences.
The film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The plot centers on martial arts tournaments and a global conspiracy, with no elements that depict or discuss transsexual identity. Therefore, the overall portrayal is N/A (No depiction).
All major characters in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie retain their established genders from the original video game series, with no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as another.
The 1994 animated movie faithfully adapts the established racial and ethnic backgrounds of the Street Fighter II video game characters. No characters canonically established as one race in the source material are portrayed as a different race in the film.
