I hope this clarifies idea of Akuma

Akuma values skill / merit above self...

to the limit that his body/life is inconsequential considering the purpose it represents

his value system is based on a trade

• he ll put his values/skill on the line
• to put the purpose on 'test' via 'him'

rest - what happens is absolute truth.

for akuma - he is 10 : a complete being, waiting for a challenger

• a state of 9 in battle

for him, its is not the challenge, but a purpose.
