Blanka faces Zangief as his second mid-boss, and unwittingly prevents Zangief from helping to destroy the [[Shadaloo]] criminal organization. He then faces Shadaloo member Balrog before facing [[M. Bison]]. After Bison is defeated, Blanka, Dan, and Sakura work together and destroy Bison's Psycho Drive. It should be noted, however, that since many characters' endings in ''Alpha 3'' each depict a different destruction of the Psycho Drive, Blanka's ending might not be canon.

In ''Street Fighter II'', Blanka has apparently developed a taste for street fighting and competes in the second World Warrior tournament. In his ending, he reunites with his mother Samantha, who recognizes him on televised broadcasts of his matches by the anklets he wears. She addresses him by his birth name, Jimmy, and reveals that she gave him the anklets before he was in a plane crash as a little boy. This crash caused him to grow up in the wild, although he has connections to a local village. Ever since the crash, Blanka/Jimmy had been separated from his mother.
