* ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' (specifically, the '''95'' to '''97'' [[Arc]]) has the literal Orochi. {{spoiler|He's technically [[No Biological Sex|sexless]] but is referred to as a "he" due to plot developments and for convience's sake.}} In this series, he's a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|fanatical servant]] of [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Gaia]] who believes that [[Humans Are
** Whereas the second ''KOF'' saga (The [[Nebulous Evil Organization|NESTS]] Chronicles) [[Your Mileage May Vary|had a plot that resembled a bad sci-fi movie]], the third and current saga (The Tales of [[Creator's Pet|Ash]], which started in ''2003'') seems to be sticking closer to the original Orochi Saga. Not only is there a [[Nebulous Evil Organization]] known as "Those From the Past" trying to undo the seal on Orochi {{spoiler|(and they've partially succeeded, thanks to their [[Brainwashed|hold]] over [[Barrier Maiden|Chizuru]] in ''2003'')}}, but the [[Replacement Scrappy|supposed "protagonist"]], [[Magnificent Bastard|Ash]] [[Manipulative Bastard|Crimson]], is going around with the [[Obfuscating Stupidity|facade of a weak and unassuming fighter]], only to pop up and [[Brought Down to Normal|steal the powers]] of Chizuru and Iori (as ''[[Super-Powered Evil Side|Orochi Iori]]'', no less) at the end of ''2003'' and ''XI'', leaving Kyo as the only remaining non-depowered descendant of the three clans that sealed Orochi. Of course, Ash has singled out Kyo as his final target.
*** {{spoiler|In ''XIII'', it turns out that Ash is a [[Fake Defector]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] [[Guile Hero]] whose actions have been one long [[Batman Gambit]] to counteract the ambitions of his [[Time Travel|time traveling]] [[Identical Grandson|identical]] [[Uncanny Family Resemblance|ancestor]] Saiki, the leader of Those From the Past. In an unforeseen [[Heroic Sacrifice]], Ash traps Saiki within his body and stays in the future, creating a [[Temporal Paradox]]: as Saiki is stuck in the present, [[Ret-Gone|Ash will be erased from history]], [[Taking You with Me|with Saiki in tow]]. This causes a ''massive'' [[Cosmic Retcon]], which reverts everything back to the way it was before ''2003''. End of story? Orochi's still sealed away.}}
