Surge of Killing Intent Series

『I'm going to meet memes stronger than me!』

----

The Surge of Killing Intent Series is an artwork series coined by KEI-SUWABE, and all related illustrations are attached with this tag.

Officially the first volume of Narikin

Overview

KEI-SUWABE drew this series of artwork to parody Street Fighter IV's ink spray art style used in the character design artwork on its promotion video before the game was released world-wide.

While "Surge of Killing Intent" (殺意の波動, Satsui no Hadou) is originally used to explain the dark side of the fictional Ansatsuken martial art, it is instead used to portray the character as being strong, or have a murderous killing intent regardless how silly the drawing can be. The "Don't Feel Like Winning" tag is usually added on this kind of artwork.

Since the term itself is originally taken from Street Fighter, and the expression itself is not included in this series, there exist some opinions of its classifications.

However, it was KEI-SUWABE's Professor Layton And The Surge of Killing Intent artwork which made this term popular since then.

The artwork that started it all

This was the beginning of a legend.

Followed by a big hit 『Where's Wally?』!

The second artwork for this series became extremely popular as its view count is said to be equivalent to the users who found this illustration; causing a huge reception.
