One question this raises is whether the Anti-hadoken would actually reverse the love-draining effects of the hadoken, or merely remove hatred, eventually creating an emotionless world in a form of entropy. In my opinion, it depends on how you view the nature of love and hate. Let me explain:
If love is seen as the polar opposite of hate, then the removal of love from the world via hadoken would automatically make it more hate filled. The balance of the world would be moved like this:
Love----------|----------Hate (pre-hadoken)
to some thing like this
Love--------|------------Hate (post hadoken)
Whereas an anti hadoken would tip the scale in the opposite direction, making perfect balance theoretically possible if the two spells were cast an equal amount of times (or not at all).
However, if you view love and hate as opposed, but separate emotions, then the love drained from the universe during a hadoken would be irrevocably lost, as would the hate destroyed by an anti-hadoken. The eventual result of excessive casting of either spell would be the absolute and final annihilation of the relevant emotion, and casting of one spell in order to counteract the other would be futile, and would ultimately result in a universe containing neither love nor hate, and therefore (arguably) no emotion whatsoever.
Yes, I thought about this far too much, and no, I have no life.
