Zeku/Pop Culture

This is a page listing Zeku 's references in general pop culture since his debut in Street Fighter V.

Comics

 * Zeku's transformation between both his old and young form are similar to Genkai from the manga and anime series, YuYu Hakusho when she uses her Reihado-Ken during her demonstration of her Spirit Gun towards Yusuke and her battle against Shishiwakamaru. Younger Toguro also noticed her ability to transform into both of her forms when he explains to the audience about her.
 * Silva from the manga and anime series Jibaku-kun has the same ability as Zeku's with the use of her Telepathic ability to transform from her elderly appearance to her younger form.

Television and Animations

 * In Fushigi Yuugi, both Tokaki and Subaru are able to transform to their younger forms with the use of Subaru's enchanted spell but at the cost of their lives as a high price when they were reparing to their younger selves including their internal organs.
 * In Cyberteam in Akihabara during Episodes 23 and 24, Christian Rosenkreutz remains in his younger appearance as his present age is over 500 years old due to his drinking the Elixir. But when Crane Bahnsteik reveals his true colors he rapidly ages until his death. His elderly appearance is similar to Zeku as both men had long gray/white hair as Christian's long hair is tied in a low ponytail.

Movies

 * In DIsney's Tangled, the main antagonist Gothel remains in her young form but when Eugene cuts Rapunzel's hair into short during the climax of the film, she rapidly ages until she turns into dust. This scene is a reverse version of Zeku's transformation between both his old and young form.
