However, Ryu became desperate to win the fight and was accidentally consumed by the Satsui no Hadou for a short time and executed the Shoryuken with rage, wounding Sagat and leaving a massive scar across his chest. Initially, Sagat was able to match him in battle by showing his full power and thinking that he has found a worthy warrior that was equal to his own power, despite the fact that he was younger then most of the warriors that he had fought before, and was sure that he was the winner of the match, even going to help Ryu up after being impressed by the fight Ryu gave him. Only one warrior was able to reach Sagat: a young martial artist named Ryu. Sagat trained Adon shortly after becoming a champion, and entered the first World Warrior tournament to prove that he was not only the strongest Muay Thai fighter, but the strongest warrior in all of Tailand, believing that he would be making his country proud. He defended his title from a fighter named Go Hibiki, in a match that cost Sagat the use of his right eye, and cost Go his life by killing him unintentionally in a burst of rage, Go's son, Dan, swore revenge on Sagat for killing his father (not knowing that it was nothing more but an accident) Sagat won the title of Emperor/God of Muay Thai from Nuah Kahn as a teenager, and became a national hero in Thailand.

In addition to fleshing out his rivalry with Ryu, a rivalry with his former apprentice Adon is introduced as well, and Dan, a character whose father was killed by Sagat years before. He also appears in the prequel series Street Fighter Alpha. Like the other bosses, he became a playable character in subsequent revisions of the game. He appears in this game with a scar across his chest that he received from Ryu as a result of his loss in the first game. His next appearance was in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, where he appears as one of the four Grand Masters, being the last CPU-controlled boss in the single player mode before M. After being defeated, he tells the player that they're the ' strongest Street Fighter in the world'. After the player defeats the eight initial opponents, their character Ryu (or Ken Masters on Player 2's side) is taken to Thailand to face the final two opponents: Adon, Sagat's apprentice, and Sagat himself.

Sagat made his first appearance in the original Street Fighter.
