My own streamlined lore of Altered Beast, based on the lore from Western and Japanese releases: A long time ago, a race of people who could use the powers of animals and even be able to transform into ones conquered the world. Unsatisfied, their leaders wanted to overthrow the Olympians as the new gods, which was what angered Zeus, also known by the Romans as Jupiter, and the other gods. Some of the beast men disagreed, which could also be something normal that could happen among other races who disagreed with each other over serious points, so the civil wars among the beast men happened. Having enough of the beast men's affairs that became worse, Zeus released fogs that paralysed the beast men that rebelled against the Olympians, but he spared those who disagreed with their unjust fellow beast men and faithfully sided with him. The evil beast men were defeated. Some of them were killed, while others were sealed inside tombstones. The good, pure-hearted, and unselfish beast men then lived and bred with normal humans while hiding their powers. Over time, they slowly lost their true powers, but their pride as fellow normal humans, their faith, and their gratitude for Zeus and the Olympians could never perish. Some of them migrated to Rome, a country that the brothers that the wolves raised as their adoptive children founded, and one of their descendants became a centurion. Proud, noble, courageous, strong, pure-hearted, selfless, wise, loving, and just, he had fought so many battles and then died a good death for what was right for his country and his people, including his loved ones and even those who were too weak and afraid to save themselves. He then entered the underworld, where there were so many demons who fought against and defeated Hades, or Pluto to the Romans, the god of the underworld. Some of the demons turned out to be the souls of the beast men who wanted revenge on the Olympians. The evil beast men had gathered and provoked the inhabitants of the underworld to fight and destroy the Olympians, starting with Hades. Athena, also known as Minerva, offered herself to lead an army to fight the demons, the evil beast men, and free the underworld and Hades. However, the leader of the demons and evil beast men, Neff, overcame and defeated Athena and her few soldiers who survived. Neff stripped Athena of her powers, turned her into a dove, and caged her, while her remaining soldiers were tortured, enslaved, and even turned into fellow demons. Neff was the most powerful of the beast men, who were gifted with formidable transformation spells and energy-absorbing spells that could allow him to depower Athena and Hades or even steal their powers from them. The soul of the centurion was trying to stop and fight Neff and his demons due to his own fears that Neff would also lead his armies on a rampage over the people who were the centurion's friends and families, but he was still powerless, and even the dead could also suffer to near death at the hands of the vilests of the demons. Neff then opened a portal to enter the mortal realm and began his quest to march towards the Olympians, and even the mortals who had nothing to do with Neff and his demons had to suffer and die in the process, for Neff would never let anyone stand in his own ways again. In his weakened state, at the bottom of the underworld, he pleaded for help from the Olympians, including Zeus or Jupiter, to defeat Neff and save humanity. Zeus heard the centurion's pleas and took pity on him. Zeus then commanded the warrior to enter one of the beast men's bodies that were sealed inside tombstones that Zeus created to seal them, for the beast men were also the centurion's ancestors, who were capable of nearly surpassing gods. Once inhabiting the body of a beast man, the centurion would gain the strength, speed, wisdom, senses, and stamina of one, but without the powers to unlock the beast man's true potential abilities because the body was still weaker after Zeus ressurected the centurion. The centurion fought demons who were roaming on every side of the mortal realm, and he found out that he could also absorb their life forces without becoming one demon whom the other demons corrupted with their evil emotions due to his pure heart and one of Zeus's powerful spells that was installed on the centurion and protected him. The more demons he fought, the more their life forces he gained from them without being corrupted, making it even more possible for him to become the true beast man with all of the true potential powers at their fullest. The centurion, as the true beast man with the form of a wolf, the exact animal that raised Romulus and Remus as her own, fought and defeated all of the demons who were invading the mortal realm, and he was close to defeating Neff, but the evil leader escaped and stole all of the powers from the centurion, which was a very critical situation for the centurion to chase Neff as a normal beast man from the start again. And so, the centurion journeyed through the levels of the underworld from above the earth to the bottom, fought so many demons, gained more powers, gained different forms of beast men, used all of his forms' powers to destroy any obstacles, and then fought all of Neff's incarnations, until the centurion finally found the final level of the underworld, fought the goat men and the other demons, gained more powers that made him the more powerful version of his wolf form, used all of his powers to eliminate any obstacles, and then defeated Neff, who gained the form and powers of a Rhinoceros. Despite Neff being a beast man who gained the form and powers of a rhinoceros, in the end, the evil master became nothing to the centurion's overwhelmingly pure and strong spirit, will, love, faith, integrity, courage, interest, and determination to never give up and never lose himself in defeating evil and saving everything good. The centurion forced the weakened Neff to find wherever Athena and Hades were imprisoned at their weakest. The centurion then demanded that Neff let the centurion take the powers of Athena and Hades that Neff had already stolen. The centurion could have used all of the powers of Athena and Hades for himself to surpass and overthrow the Olympians. However, because he was so tired of everything evil that plagued everything, even his life and his home realm, he decided that he would never become any of them, no matter what, so that the same mistakes could never be repeated over and over again. He then gave all of the powers of Athena and Hades back to their original owners. Hades regained his place as the god of the underworld, and he, along with Zeus, punished Neff, the demons, and the evil beast men for eternity. Athena, free from her dove form and her cage, thanked and blessed the man who freed her. The centurion, still in the form of a golden wolf, humbly admitted to Athena that he was just a normal man who wanted to do the right thing-not a god, not a demon, and not even a beast man. However, Athena didn't want to see the centurion for his appearance or his powers. She just wanted to see him for his heart, wisdom, and will. She even declared that, whether it was a mortal, a demon, a god, or a beast man, for a heart like the centurion had, she would also be glad to love that person. And so it was, the legend of the centurion, the greatest of his kind, the altered beast. Or so it was. Three strange creatures-not beast men, but almost looked like ones, but smaller-the first one was a blue hedgehog, the second was an orange fox with two tails, and the third was a red creature with long hair and two gloves that had two short horns on each of their knuckles-came to the centurion and Athena through a strange ring portal, inviting him to fight with them in a tournament that determines the fates of the multiverse. In that tournament, there would also be two plumbers from Italian-American descent, a princess from a kingdom, an evil monster who wanted to kidnap a princess, young warriors from unknown lands, a hunter from outer space, a captain who can destroy anything with his punches, a soldier who can hide himself from anything or attack from his own hiding spots, a young male angel, a gorilla, a smaller gorilla, a yellow little rodent that can spark lightning from its body, a boxer, martial artists from some countries around the world, a vampire hunter, a mercenary with a giant sword, a witch with guns, a robot that can shoot from his arm, a cruel fighter who wanted to throw anyone into the depths of hell, and many, many, many more. It would be up to the centurion to give his own answer to those three creatures and change everything around him. Trailer: In the middle of the burning place, which could be considered Cloud Strife's home town, Sephiroth saw the silhouette of the Centurion entering the same burning place while the flames surrounded the silhouette, but the silhouette didn't get burned because of it. Sephiroth asked if an animal came and dared to challenge him. Centurion, while still in his wolf form, replied that he was not an animal. And then, the orchestral version of the "Altered Beast" game's theme of stage 1 played along, and the dynamically designed character title in the style of Super Smash Bros. dramatically presented itself as a way to identify the centurion.

Congratulations!!!! Show 🎵
It reminds me of the chariot race battle between Ben Hur and Mesala.
this is my music when I go catch the bus.
Amazing I enjoy this theme!
Sound like it could be a animated show opening
Ngl this is the best orchestral version I’ve found so far. All the others are wrong compositionally and throw the feel of the song off
Amazing work!
This isn't just Juuouki... it's magnificent!
Loving this!
This sounds great!
Arcade=A minor
Genesis=F minor
Esse audio de abertura ficou show muito lindo no ritimomde opera show
This sounds like Rocky Balboa was summoned from his grave by Zeus, and has replaced the Centurion(s) as the hero to save his daughter.
