The King of Fighters/WMG: Difference between revisions

Think about it: Ash/ Orochi has been unsuccessful in taking out the clans and their descendants thus far, so this time around he wants to take away what makes them a threat- their powers. As much as his fighting ability's been trotted around, he really isn't that proven. He stole Chizuru's power while she was weakened and unaware, and he beat Iori in [[Ro TB]]RoTB. With some connection to Orochi, he probably could have easily beaten him by restricting him, or with his general control over him. And it could just be me, but it seems like he's starting to look better, more vital in each of his subsequent appearances, though this could just be art style.

[[X 2 X|I'll]] disect this wacky, yet oddly plausible theory piece by piece.

Goenitz first. As we all know, Mr. KOKO DESU KA was the leader of both the Hakkesshu and The Four Heavenly Kings. He was also 41 in ''{{'}}96''. While no implications were given, he could have had a family at that time; he was definitely old enough to be a father. Also, would ''you'' have expected ''Geese'' and ''Rugal'' of all people to have children? Me neither. A lot of you are probably aware of Goeniko, the [[Attractive Bent Gender|Midnight Bliss'd]] version of Goenitz from ''[[Capcom vs. Whatever|SNK vs. Capcom: Chaos]]''. Naturally, [[Fanon]] and ''[[MUGEN]]'' have already come up with multiple backstories for her. Originally, she was supposed to be a clone of Goenitz used by Rugal in his attempts to again gain the power of Orochi. Then, there were more and more riffs on who she was, with additional versions of Goeniko popping up, such as Wind (the daughter of Goenitz who was possessed by Orochi) and Reas (simply a transformation). Again, despite Goenitz being a [[Sinister Minister|priest]] (we don't know what denomination he belonged to though), he could have possibly settled down. Gaidel, the biological father of Leona, did just that (additionally not wanting anything to do with Orochi). At the end of ''2003'', it's revealed that the seal on Orochi was broken, possibly allowing for the Wind archtype (or some variation thereof). With the exception of ''maybe'' Gaidel, I'm throwing out the possibility of being a reincarnated Hakkesshu member because everyone except for Yamazaki either died in ''{{'}}96'' or ''{{'}}97'', which would mean that their reincarnations would be (at the oldest) ''eight'' by the time of ''XI''.

Then, there's Igniz. As we all know, Igniz was ''fifty-six-freakin'-years-old'' (in ''2001'') despite being (arguably) the biggest [[Bishonen|bishie]] in ''KOF'' history. He also had a lover named Misty (you know, that woman with the short white hair who appears in his win poses). For all we know, she could either be close in age to him, or [[May-December Romance|much younger]]. The key word in the equation is ''"lover"''. They weren't married, but for all we know, they could have consumated their relationship countless times over (and if the whole they're both [[Older Than They Look]] thing applies, they could have been doing this thing before ''most of the cast was born''). Who knows? Maybe (in the most cliched of romantic plot developments) they mated before "lovable" Igniz bit the bullet in his failed [[Colony Drop]]. Depending on what happened, they could already have a child, or she could have just given birth. I honestly don't know (and it wouldn't explain why said child hasn't shown up yet). This ''is'' SNK we're talking about. Additionally, she comes from the NESTS saga, the ''KOF'' arc dealing with a [[Nebulous Evil Organization]] that resorted to cloning, genetic manipulation, and bionics. Many playable characters from NESTS had bionically/genetically enhanced bodies or relied on technologically advanced battle suits. For all we know, both Misty and Igniz could have had their bodies altered to the point that having a child would result something along the lines of [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]] (inserted with [[Super Serum|Mako]] cells in the womb) or maybe even [[X -Men|Vulcan]] ({{spoiler|stillborn}} baby that was {{spoiler|revived and}} rapidilyrapidly sped up to a viable age). Again, who knows? It doesn't explain why she's with Ron (a guy whose taken interest in the [[MacGuffin]] sealed within Kensou's body), but then again Misty was a ''very'' obscure character.

* It would explain why he suddenly stopped entering KOF tourneys at 1996, sending his daughter in his stead: He's actually a tremendous pansy that hides under a table when and if things get hectic. He looks the right age for a good 7 years more of service and I don't think he was mentioned in [[Word of God]]'s canonical ending to 95. If anything, 2001 marked the time when Ralf finally had enough and dragged that cycloptic buffoon kicking and screaming to the registration counter.

** Given how vague SNK is on how connected all of its universes are, [[Tropers/X 2 X|I]] wouldn't put it past them. It's already been hinted that Eiji is [[Last Blade|Zantetsu's]] descendant, that Mai is somehow descended from [[Samurai Shodown|Gen-An]], and that [[Samurai Shodown|Kim Hye-Ryen]] and [[Fuun Series|Kim Sue II]] are Kim's respective ancestor and descendant, so why not?
