KOF XV Story Explained - KOF Lore
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มี.ค. 2022
- The story of KOF XV takes place right after XIV's. The later was the first chapter of what is commonly known as the Shun'ei saga. KOF XV is supposed to be the last entry of this chapter. If it is true, then that makes the Shun'ei saga the shortest in the series.

I really hope that if they really decide that XV would be the last game in the 'Verse Saga', they better offer us some story mode DLCs because it still feels very unfinished.
Kinda like Mortal Kombat 11 with Aftermath.
Like I will say this is like not shun ei saga it's more like verse saga while shun ei only a plot for the revive dead character and his character development like just started lmao if they do like new saga they could make the real shun ei saga because verse saga doesn't feel like for shun ei even tho he got a little bit of development it's like SNK are keeping something from us for shun ei
I mean Garou team already plays a part in the story, so we may see new DLC adding up.
@@DCDsauce they could tease it with something I hope they give shun ei a proper new saga for him like man he has the most vague story we don't know crap.about him until kof 15 ending. his ending is like SNK saying shun ei journey is just started and this is confirmed just too be verse saga like they focus more on verse
Honestly, the sagas are more or less depicted by the hero or the villain, dependent on the scenario
We have Rugal saga, Orochi saga, NESTS saga, Ash's saga, and now since the whole point of the newer saga is the Amplified Specters, it's pretty much gonna be the Verse saga
Man, so Kula's entire reason for joining Angel K9999 was literally a "big bro you're a dummy" moment... Wow xD
I've grown to really respect Shun'ei as character, despite his design. He's much more emotionally honest person then you'd expect from his fashion and it's very charming to see him grow in confidence. He'd probably be the most likable KOF protagonist if he was a real person, so it sucks so many fans write him off due to design alone.
I hope that he gets more time as a protagonist (and maybe more outfit choices) in the future
I love his design
I agree , irl he would be the most likable one . Kyo is a dick most of the time , K is plain moody and Ash is kinda annoying .
@@jlortizdk Me too, man. It's not a bad design. Bad would have been just slapping him in a Kung Fu uniform.
11:39 Given the reason for the weirdness that is Shunei’s design is that he wanted as many limiters as possible, that is MOST CERTAINLY character growth, since it means he’s willing to remove at least one.
“Thickness of their plot armor” 🦊❤️😂
I really hope that we get to see Leona's father. He is pretty much the only and last Hakeshu (sorry if I spelled wrong) member that we haven't seen. It would be a great sub-plot for Leona. Plus I think we may see Goenitz make a return as well.
If the latter, then chances might be having a secret Bosses team ending (Goenitz, Omega Rugal & Geese)
Yup, the only remaining The Hakkesshu member we never seen his face was Gaidel..
And for Goenitz, I really really hope for it to fill in the rosters, so please SNK, shattered all expectation
my thoughts as well... I want to see Goenitz return to KOF!!!
@V. S. Werejester we all want to OD on more koko desu ka XD
@@rodylermglez unli super
Benimaru’s tournament track record is insane at this point. XD And so Hein plans to backstab Geese after all (Yeah, good luck with that, chum.). Overall, I gotta say XV probably have the best sets of team arcs and story in the KOF series so far. I love how the developed Shun’ei, Isla, and even Krohnen, despite the latter being gone for years and it’s great seeing Ash and Elizabeth back together again as the poor girl was absolutely devastated. And of course, one of personal favorites, is seeing Chizaru being so done with Kyo and Iori’s feud and basically said “Screw it, go kill yourselves!”. Thanks so much for this well crafted and detailed video, Shoryugame. :)
You're most welcome, and thanks for the kind comment!
I mean geese is known for recruiting previous enemies, keep your friends close and your enemies close. So he probably does know about Hein's motives.
Yep. Geese is a mastermind as he is a fighting master.
I'd like to say this game probably is my favorite kof game just because of how much it evolved a lot of characters.
Krohnen completely became a character whom was just a simple tetsuo imitator to being his own character and getting more character development then daimon has gotten in all of his appearances in kof in just one game.
I also love how they made shunei more of his own character rather than being minato from persona 3.
The last thing I'd like to mention is the secret ending for kyo.
Did kyo actually beat iori?
After their fight it shows kyo return back to his girlfriend and in leona, shunei, and iori's secret ending we see a very upset and violent iori possibly after his lost to kyo.
I think there's a slight possibility that we might see an orochi iori that after his lose to kyo might completely give in to the orochi curse.
That's just a theory on my end but I loved the story of this game.
I second that. I never expected a guy who has been in a KOF game for God knows how long to have such a massive amount of growth. Really, XV probably have my favorite sets of team stories in the entire series.
Their match probably ended up in a stalemate like in KOF 2001 where after they helped both K Dash and Kula take down Igniz, leader of NESTs, they broke away from everyone to have their fight which had an undecided end.
Another reason why it may be a stalemate is Iori.
With Iori being part of the Yasakani clan and how they made a Blood Pact with Orochi, as Shoryu mentioned in his Iori video, Iori is simply trying to make most of his time fighting Kyo to not only to fight but keep his rival up to snuff since he is on limited time as his family's curse kills their members at a young age in their lives and seeing that Iori will likely following that same fate someday, he's probably trying to make use of the situation. This is something that Tung mentioned in his special intro with Iori in KOF XIV as he knows that Iori says that he would kill Kyo but he doesn't actually do it and lets their rivalry continue on, meaning that Iori finds some enjoyment in it and of course, Iori shrugs it off.
Pretty interesting stuff when you dig deeper in the lore but that's one of the perks of being a KOF fan as well as an SNK fan
Which teams unlock those secret endings? I wanna watch those.
@@estebangardila
There's quite a few, the one mentioned here is with Shin'ei, Iori, and Leona.
The others are as followed:
Isla, Krohnen, K
Heidern, Ralf, Clark
Vanessa, Dolores, Terry
Terry, Andy, Shin'ei
Ramón, Ángel, King of Dinosaurs
Etc.
@@1997darklink Is there a place I can look for all of them. I'm certainly interested in the side stories those endings could tell.
"Extremely thick plot armor" just like Raga thighs 😂.
"What a loser". Nice SG 😂
God I am so glad this channel exists. You do such a great job of making KOF lore digestible
Glad you like them!
I gotta admit... Aside from the Hero, Rival, Orochi and Ikari Warrior teams, most of the teams never have substential evolutions from a game to another. By that I mean it always disapoint me to see the Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting members beeing there to be the butt of a joke. I don't mean to make them a huge part of the main plot but I would be glad to see a substential subplot beeing made with them.
Especialy for the characters from the FF/AOF Universe (Geese and Billy included)
Aside of that Shun'ei realy grew on me in this game and I think Isla is a big part of it. If the Verse/Re-verse Saga was mainly done to bring back fan favorites I still hope these two would have a nice developpement in the next entries.
PS: Nice summary of this entry Shoryu, keep up the good work.
7:48 Yamazaki, the greatest, most considerate, kind, caring, and trustworthy friend a crime lord could ever have, he keeps secrets quite well and is 1000% a better person than Hein 🙂
He only needs his precious sustenance, money!
So trustworthy! No chance of betrayal at all.....
I firmly believe that KOF 16 would be the last arc of Shun'ei Saga.
As a non-cannon game ofc
YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE BEEN ANTICIPATING THIS VIDEO! ❤️ THANKS SHORYUGAME!! 😆👍
Hope you enjoy!
Yamazaki: Ha! “Am I reliable…”
…DO YOU SEE THIS COAT?!?!
@@MisteRRYouTuby To be fair, he is reliable in his own way. They've worked together before.
@@MisteRRYouTuby Billy Kane : "eh, looks normal since the first ever tournament you joined back in Fatal Fury 3..."
Shoryugame is the gift that keeps on giving.
That's very nice of you!
Thank you for telling the world that Shun'ei's headphones are the dumbest thing in the world
They sure are!
I honestly hope we maybe we could get one last game from the Amplified Specters Arc…
I feel like we could get one last game…I feel like we ran into a big missed opportunity to call one of the bosses In Verse, to tie into Shun’ei’s Water Hand
I still can't come to terms that Foxy is alive...
Same.
It smells like retcon to me.
Now everyone is alive!
@@meganinten0078 Except for Maximum Impact...😎
@@duncan3998 lmao got em
What unanswered questions? Otama=raga was vanquished like Orochi. They can’t die, so it’s already over. Even though how the gem is supposed to stop Geese wasn’t explained, I think knowing it was going to stop him was enough to conclude Luong’s story. Literally all the stories are over and we can only wait for the dream match and new saga to come.
You are right
I think 15 will be a dream match game once the dlc is all said and done.
As snk said, there more teams past the next 3 and most characters can come back as dlc if they're popular
The only thing I can say is that every kof series boss always the best and this time I actually hope that we can see Geonitz,Maki kagura,Zero,Igniz,Gaidel ofc the Hakkeshu we yet didn't get to see and much more characters that I want to see back man this is soo exciting
Forgot to mantion Saiki
Otomo-Raga (KOF) = Kronika (MK)
Re-Verse (KOF) = Cetrion (MK)
Trust me, I've seen this Story before. 😂
IT MAKES SENSE!...THE VILLAINS ARE THE EMBODIMENT OF SOFT-REBOOTING AN IP.!...Oh MAMA!!, Mind-BLAST!!
Yeah but this is ten times better
@@kingsman5121 Exactly!
Otoma=Raga is almost a *Big Lipped Alligator Moment*
She comes from nowhere; is way over the top; makes no sense and once it's gone she never mentioned again.
I mean, Re Verse was the boss we all were expecting to see, she was teased by the end of the previous game.
Otoma=Raga was just a surprise but not a good one.
Her introduction was very late, random and forced.
And I thought Igniz's introduction was not good.
At least we could see Igniz in the cutscenes before the final battle and he had an actual personality and goal!
Both Re Verse and Otoma=Raga are just creatures from other dimensions who only want to destroy...and that's it.
I don't feel anything with them.
The only good thing about Otoma=Raga is her design.
Even Jivatma was better final boss than her.
@@meganinten0078 don’t worry we get snk boss that can make us suffer in a few weeks
Thanks for explaining some concepts I had trouble understanding, like how Otoma-Raga managed escape from her 'plane of existence'. Also, that's another KOF win in the bag for Benimaru🏆.
Yes, exactly
I hope this isn’t the end of the Arc I don’t think it is at least one more entry because so many things are left unanswered like the Amplified Specters and their origins how Shun’Ei and Isla got them. What is really kool is technically all the endings as they happen are canon despite all Teams not being the canonical winners of the Tournament which we know the true winners are the Heroes Team who duked it out with Rivals Team in the Finals followed by facing Re Verse and Otama Raga!! The fact that all the endings relevant to the Story and Plot are canon even though 99% of them didn’t actually win the Tournament speaks volumes because if you play other Fighting Games usually all endings but the canonical winner is non canon and thus irrelevant when you look at Tekken, MK, DOA, some of SF etc.
I think this Arc is just a plot device to bring back characters from previous Sagas so SNK could further expand the stories of the previous sagas.
Alot of things in XV feels like a set up so the stories of the previous saga could be continued, like the Orochi Team’s Ending, Gaidel’s Resurrection and Rugal’s Return. It feels like a continuation to the Orochi Saga
Maybe in XVI, these elements would be further established and we may get a sequal to the Orochi Saga.
I totally agree with you.
if they wanted to continue orochi saga they need to somehow make rugal re-appearance 'canon' in storyline because hes the only suitable host for orochi spirit or they can use iori as well but if they did use iori as a host then we would be getting some bad ending to iori a.k.a he died sacrificing himself to end the orochi curse
for me i wish they focus more on the amplified specters origin and the origins of shun'ei water based phantom arm so far we get zero explaination to how or where those things came from
I do enjoy this explanation to KoF XV story it makes me love this game even more and also the growth with Shun'ei makes me respect him as well. By the way as i side note i kinda dig his outfit even tho many others don't just saying.
However 1 thing has been bothering me throughout KoF XV story arc is that we don't get to meet the host of the tournament yet alone fine out who she is 'Anastasia'. Like what was her reason to even make another KoF tournament or did she knew of the outcome that was about to happen/or had happen? Usually the KoF tournament is often hosted by a wealthy sometimes evil benefactor like Geese,Rugal,Antonov just to name a few and we often know/see that person but not the case for KoF XV.
This maybe be nothing and she's just some person who want to host a tournament, but i would like to know your thoughts on this and what/who is Anastasia. Either way this has been a great video on KoF lore,Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lowkey have a strong feeling they are gonna bring back the Orochi storyline. But with sub plots regarding Geese and Otama raga
I want more N.E.S.T.S. instead. Revenge of N.E.S.T.S. would be a great storyline. Plus it'd be a good break from all the otherworldly superbeings in a row to just fight an evil organization headed by a good old fashioned megalomaniacal psychopath again. Make Krohnen the protagonist. Boom. Done.
It’s good to have Omega Rugal back in The King of Fighters XV
Thank you so much for explaining the story for us man. It's been quite a long time since I played KOF (stopped at KOF 2002).
Glad I could help!
Love your lore videos! It makes me quite interesting to continue playing these games.
Glad to hear it!
Appreciate all the work making all the cutscenes and slideshows of KOFXV into a semblance of a somewhat coherent story. It's pretty lacking in KOFXV, but it is what it is.
Hands down my favorite KOF. Outside of game roster, it's hard going back to the gameplay of older KOF without wishing they would play more like XV.
Only till Autumn comes, i just pray that the ''certain'' team will come back after so many decades of disrespect
🕶🏀🏈
The American sports?
@@ShoryuGame YESSSS
Yes!
I just want a Heavy D comeback man
Strangely this plot extends where by the boss Otama Raga was considered weak by the other competitors Rugal in the shadows heard this and decided to walk up into the update saying ah yes Competitors you were looking for a Final boss I'M BACK!
The plot thickens from there...
I don't see any reason as to why this should be the last chapter of the Shun'ei Saga, especially with all those plot points being set up as well as the return of many dead characters we still haven't seen just yet. To me, I think this is just the beginning of Shun'ei's actual journey. He may have more control with his powers as an Amplified Specter, but I think he's going to have to face off a lot of enemies at future tournaments, especially with his and Isla's connections to ReVerse and Otoma=Raga. Plus, we still don't know who Anastasia is, especially since we never really saw her face.
Just who is Anastasia?
I really hope KOFXV isn't the last chapter in the Shun Ei saga there are still loose ends that have to be answered and Shun Ei also needs a bit more character development
And design update.
@@ShoryuGame oh yeah totally forgot that
I would love to see a character video about Ash Crimson, I'm sure he and Shun ei haven't gotten one yet.
Explaining the lore, teams and story. Awesome man. Love your videos.
Thanks a ton!
I don't know much about Otoma, but now I kinda know more about XV as a whole. I'm sure the Verse Saga isn't done this year (makes more sense to me than the Shun 'ei saga)and looking forward to see how it plays out.
Huh, I had no idea this was meant to be the Verse Saga finale. Perhaps we haven't seen the last of the story yet! Anyway, I can always trust ShoryuGame to tell me who the canon victor is of each KOF!
Snk didn't say shun ei saga I will say they could make shun ei as protagonist again but diffirent design with development shows his training around the world this saga is more for verse saga it's not that focuses on shun ei the ending of team hero literally like the starting of shun ei journey lmao
I think this is the last chapter of Shun'ei's story at least they could still continue the Otoma arc but i think it would have a new protagonist like say in a Uni Saga. However when the game came out I still thought it was the end of the verse saga due to Shun'ei starting a new journey, him and Isla being on good terms and Kurki and Dolores going back to their ... Desert I guess.
Also I this think it's funny that the trailer said it was the climax of the story and nobody paid any attention to that line at all.
Otoma=Raga is almost a *Big Lipped Alligator Moment*
She comes from nowhere; is way over the top; makes no sense and once she is gone she is never mentioned again.

Even Jivatma was better final boss than her.
Its like no one cares that what you've stated is the case. The boss of this game is basically just used to bring back dead character (only 4 so far by the way so meh). Can shunei even be considered the main character? He serves no real purpose,hell ash now has more a connection to verse compared to shunei,its because of Ash that verse could get to earth. So pointless,this was street fighter level or writing
SNK staff must have watched Regular Show for something. Mundane stuff escalates to a world-dooming crisis that only the designated MCs have to do something in their capacity to thwart it.
Maximum Impact 3 better show us Judeim's current vessel, and other activities executed by the Addes Syndicate. Team Alba-Seth-Luise to be confirmed...
Even so but...the thing is, Shun'ei and Isla are more both 4th. Saga heroese and catalysts, Ash is also the cause for this mess. Unlike Maximum Impact and EX ver. (Played on GBA) that is a spin-off KOF game from alternate timeline, KOF 4th Saga story it shows more like the story is not cannonic timeline more like alternate, even if is a main timeline. As for the Hosts and Antagonists well...in XIV it showed that Antonov was the Host while Verse was the Antagonist. Now in XV Antonov is no more the Host but known other then the unseen female charater by the name Anastasia, Re Verse and OTOMA=RAGA are the Antagonists.
But heres my theory about both Verse and Re Verse. Like Re Verse was physically characterized like Isla, my guess is that Verse is a negative version of Shun'ei. Also about OTOMA=RAGA, if you watch carefully on her face and physical apperance, she is a little bit like Dolores. Plus about antagonists, as we know in every KOF Games from 94 to XIII, some of Hosts they were antagonists along with mysterious people who are belong to certain clan or organization except Chizuru and Saisyu they are not included as long as they are the good characters.
94-Rugal
95-Rugal
96-Goenitz
97-Team Orochi and Orochi
99-Krizalid
2000-Clone Zero
2001-Original Zero and Igniz
2003-Adelheid and Mukai
XI-Shion and Magaki
XIII-Saiki
Now in both XIV and XV, Hosts are just good and normal characters and antagonist just demons. Who knows, maybe in the next KOF game called KOFXVI will appeare again Otoma=Raga and maybe this time will appeare another evil clan unlike Hakkeshu clan and Those from the Past clan.
Can the KoF devs make KoF XVI under the name "Amplified Spectres", that way we can see why and how Shun'ei and Isla went off to undisclosed locations at the end of their team's endings, and also another......Team Special Agents?
I can't be the only one but I feel like this story and it's characters is more in line of KOF 2006. How jivatma is basically from another world just like Luise. Actually Dolores reminds me a lot of Luise.
I've been waiting for a video like this
The only thing that XV could've been better, is to expand all character's interlude with one another, *similar to Tekken 5*
So many missed oppertunities, man.
Only reason why I can think of why various people (except betty) act like they don’t remember who ash is that the memory _of_ him is still erased as per 13’s ending, thus the timeline is readjusting to him being revived
I WAS WAITING THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
Hope you enjoy it!
Great video as always and another important thing to mention is that this game finally cleared up Rock Howard’s place in the canon
Or at least I think it did
Good point!
He is CANON?...I'am Impliying that yes, but what's your answer.
@@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269 I mean he mentions verse a few times and the previous tournament so I think it’s a yes
Guess we all know who shunei's team is gonna be from now on.
Isla, shunei and meitenkun. Let's hope the dude atleast gets the girl 😂
By far the only tsundere of KOF.
Oh we know how Japan is, they will tease it and that's it
Otoma=Raga. The first KoF final boss that was so weak and easy to beat that RUGAL EFFING BERNSTEIN had to come out of retirement.
and She is a LITERAL GODESS.....Rugal is JUST THE SNK BOSS!
Try in herder dificulty, tbh the easiest bos to date still orochi what a joke he was

You know, we still haven't seen the exact scene of Shunei being overcome by dark powers in this game. It was in the reveal trailer but not in the game. Could that idea been scrapped???
I believe it's in the game. He managed to control his powers.
@@ShoryuGame Hmm yeah you're right. I had to go back and see. Just easily missable if you bink though.
Thanks for another entertaining video Shoryu. I find it hard to believe this is the end of Shunei Saga as you mentioned there are questions remained unanswered yet.
Also i'm predicting certain team ups in the next kof.. Isla might team up with shunei and meituken, kukri with Dolores, and Terry with Rock and Jenet maybe. Who knows, it might not be the end afterall.
I hope so!
shun'ei would look better without the magic jacket on his shoulders or wearing it normally without the tie
ill hope they continue the dragon power awaken on kensou... lin and ron connection plus nest
Y'all remember Adel? The "second protagonist" of the Ash saga?
I miss him so much. I would pay a fortune to play as him again, please SNK I really don't care if it's in this game or 10 years later in the next, and I honestly couldn't give a damn about his story importance I just want my boy back :(
I mean, Yamazaki's not they type to stab you in the back, he's the type to stab you in the face until it no longer resembles a face
The Shun’ei saga was not that good but it wasn’t that bad either. Big congratulations for Team Hero winning the tournament. Shun’ei and Meitenkun finally got a win under their belt and Benimaru is now a 9 time kof champion. Hopefully we get some sort of story expansion to awesome more lore to this saga. And lastly, Thank you Shoryu Game for always giving us kof fans a lot of lore regarding this outstanding franchise. Keep being awesome my dude.
Thank you so much for the kind support. Much appreciated!
Terry's Dad Jeff and Leona's birth father Gadiel are confirmed to have been resurrected.
Since I can't play the game as of now, I wouldn't mind seeing a video about every subplot too.
I'll consider making a reaction video of the different endings.
Team Super Heroine’s Ending was actually pretty funny. Athena, disguising her circus proposal to Mai and Yuri as a popstar show, was hilarious!
Wouldn't it be funny if all the NESTS clones of Kyo were also inside Verse? If it were, we could probably see Kyo88 or Kyo26. Heh.
Haha Shun does need to take off those headphones lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I love KOF lores, would you mind sharing where do you usually find these canon stories?
On the official web site.
Thank you very much for the lore dump!
i wanna see vice and mature back . i can imagine a team for goenitz mature and vice sorry if i spell wrong
I am still fairly sure 16 will be the final chapter of this arc. All previous arcs had 3 canon games, and now we have the canon hero team of Shunei, Isla and the My Pillow guy.
No 15 is the last one because of lack of popularity towards shun with but it’s not the last time we are seeing them

I'm surprised you didn't mention Shen and Duo Lon regaining their memories of Ash in Team Ash's ending not to mention the fact that the post credit scene of the Sacred Treasures team ending actually revealed the winner of Kyo and Iori's duel that being Kyo
All it shows is Kyo returning to Yuki. It doesn't necessarily mean he won.
@@ShoryuGame true that is what they did but I'm very confident in thinking it's SNK actually showing us who won instead of just telling us
Awesome Story of KOF XV Shoryugame and this game and story is a masterpiece for me is awesomely the best look forward for future of the king of fighters series.
Some people just don't matter in the grand scheme of it all...just how it is sometimes lol. Nice video bud, my first time getting into a KoF game & I already feel like I understand everything going on thanks to you! Cheers!
Glad I could help!
It really feels that if XV is the last game of the saga, we're getting a second story mode at a point in the future.
"BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!"
Current mysterious tournament organizer and host Anastasia is yet to be unveiled. At least the host in the EX2 Howling Blood game Gustav Munchhausen had a face reveal, but pushes forth his brainwashed wind-bending ace Shinobu Amou to do much of the fighting on the former's behalf.
So we’re only getting two games to explain THIS current saga?
@@Michael Rivers it’s only a rumor, though it would be quite dumb because there’s so many unanswered questions in these two games.This is coming from someone who’s not that great at the kof games lol.
@@ashtonbyrd3686 this SNK we re talking about they could make new arc with new villain who used phantom hand not verse but actual human who has that power too do something and make shun ei protagonist again like literally Team hero ending feels like shun ei journey just started this saga focus more on verse than shun ei lol
@@ameernurhaqeem9738 Well, Shun’Ei IS a forgettable character. I forgot about him the moment Delores was announced.
@@MisteRRYouTuby I mean they could change his designs and make a new saga like about phantom hand or old villain came back like literally we don't know what will happen lol they could make him a protagonist again and actually gave him proper story kof 15 ending for him literally like his journey just started and this feels more of verse saga
I would like to think the point of Otama Raga is the purpose to "re-create" even if it means the total annihilation of their dimension. Think due what Ash caused at the end of KOF XIII, it was probably what triggered the goddess into what would either corrupt or change the many factors of the events in which would've or should've happened, therefore why Verse/Re-Verse appeared to do the job.
Anyways great video, man. Even though the sub endings of different teams aren't relevant, I would like to see a top 10 of what your favorite ones are.
Thank you and I agree with your analysis. Otoma=raga/Re verse are kinda like the Dahaka from Prince of Persia: Warrior within.
Great video, as usual. Man... i hate how the other teams are snubbed, and get joke endings. They need to hurry and come out with a new Fatal Fury/Garou, so we can get some growth/closure/resolution.
You know, with all these dead fighters and villains coming back, where is Jeff Bogard in all of this? Seriously, THAT would be a huge deal and further separate Fatal Fury/Garou from KOF. I would seriously pay to see that happen.
One thing I still need to know is WHO THE HELL IS ANASTASIA? I was sure she would be the boss but we never even see her. The only thing we know about her is that she has some sort of relationship with Antonov according to his interview on the KOF XV website.
Hopefully a story expansion will answer this question.
@@ShoryuGame since fighting games are getting longer lifespans, we could see it
It wasn't plot armor that made the hero team win.
It was Orochi kof 97 AI
Also infinite continues.
Of course. That too. The reason how the Metal Slug protagonists survive every mission.
Oooo that’s why Dolores was acting like that towards luong. Because she knew she was on some bull.
Wouldnt it make more sense if shun'ei teamed up with Terry and Andy as they were desciples of the same teacher? It also make sense if that team made it to finals, i find it hard to believe that the Hero team actually beat team sacred treasures
Team Fatal Fury is the only team that has never been altered. It has always been Terry, Andy and Joe.
@@AmazingSpider-Man actually that team altered twice. 2003 (Terry, Joe and Tizoc) and 11 (Terry, Kim and Duck King)
There is a secret team in XIV named Tung's disciples and including Shun'ei, Terry and Geese.
it would, and Ogura said that indeed Terry was supposed to be on the hero team at first, who knows why they changed to Benimaru
@@vilao9230 Benimaru's flexibility helps, being Kyo's rich bestie with plenty of contacts in his phone.
TAnJ were already established early on as Battle Brothers fo lyfe, and Terry had almost no in-universe knowledge of Master Tung's newest endeavors Shun'ei and MTK.
Looks like, in the end, Isla wants to put her hands on Shun'ei... all 4 of them.
Shun'ei Saga is about a stand users,
And a beautiful woman at the last stage
It's not even shun ei saga it's more of verse saga shun ei ending literally a tease of like shun ei journey is just started lmao
@@ameernurhaqeem9738 in Ash named Ash saga. Rather than Those From The Past
@@risensamson8873 in ash saga it's focus on him alot in this verse saga it's more about verse shun ei development is only in one fcking game lol and kof 15 ending in for team hero is like shun ei journey just begin they could make a new saga and him being protagonist again like kyo does
So another Verse again in KOF 16? More stand users
Is it really true that KOF XV is the last chapter for the shunei saga? That's a bit underwhelming... :/
Maybe but if this saga is ending here then it ended on one hell of a game
@@kingsman5121 I feel there should be at least one more game to tie everything together. Like Isla and Shunei actually had interesting development in this story and it is heavily implied by the end that they will work together along with Meitenkun as team for the next game.
@@kingsman5121 story is kinda weak though. No need to defend everything about this game. Yes it's gorgeous and a miles improvement from XIV, but is that it? No plot twists (don't tell me people actually were surprised about the Isla thing)? Meitenkun still feeling like a generic sidekick character with his whole personality just being sleepy? Even though this game brought back a lot of characters (Garou DLC is so nice), it felt like the stakes weren't high at all. For some of the teams, it was just another annual tournament of talking crap, while for the main story important teams it was just "EVIL BAD GUY IS HERE, YAY WE BEAT IT GOOD JOB GUYS COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ALL YOUR SUPPORT"
Comparing this ending to the past KOF games, it isn't a *maybe* underwhelming story conclusion. Hell, even the ash saga was more exciting
Exactly.
@@porygon-z8270 oh well I meant great by which it plays amazing but okay
while I like the story in general, I seriously have no idea how team Heroes or team Rivals got past team Sacred Treasures, Team Ash or Team Krohnen :D some serious plot devices took place!
I don't believe that KoF XV is the last game in the KoF franchise, let alone in the Shun'ei saga, game feels unfinished (even to the identity of Otoma=Raga), could she be Dolores' ancestor (due to Clement Bellamy's knowing of "her"), and why happened to Shun'ei after The Hero Team ending, so many answers to be questioned
Like literally this is verse saga more than shun ei saga the ending of verse saga for team hero literally tease about shun ei journey just started lmao just make new saga and make shun ei protagonist again make the real shun ei saga focus more on him and about his storyline
Wonderful & great job
Thank you very much
I feel this game story is lackluster, i know it's little bit explained on website but still for modern fighting game it's yeah little bit lackluster but the gameplay of this game is solid, every character ending make them looks like they win the game, it's making hard to predict what they do in interval between kof 15 and kof 16, unlike the kof 14 the example in team korea story ending gang il and Kim is training so it's explaining why they absent in this game, the story also not answering lots of questions like who is anastasia the tournament host or reason sources shunei true power
Still thank you for the video as usual 👍😊
Ótimo vídeo como sempre . O propósito de Otoma Raga é destruir o mundo atual e criar um novo . Isso é revelado no relatório do Heidern , no final Team Edit . E esse final joga a ideia de que talvez a ameaça de Otoma Raga ainda não tenha passado
WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR OUR FAVORITE NARRATOR TO SHARE THIS LORE WITH US❤
Thanks for the wait!
FF Team ending is hilarious
I agree. One of the best FF endings in the series.
I find it satisfying that this video and the arc ends with you calling Shunei a loser lmao
I like her, is very refreshing to see a female final boss, we need more bad ass women as final bosses
If it's true that XV is the last game in the Shuunei Saga. Then something that tells me that each game from now on in the series will feature a singular storyline, like almost every fighting game series nowadays.
Kof 16 will be the final game they will put mukai saiki mugaki orochi the heavenly Kings goenitz rugal and verse will be involved and that's a big problem so I really think that should be like the whole story in kof 16 bring it back all the people who serve orochi and verse two vessels who are controlled by verse power but what if a orochi and verse fuse together as the final boss
in short, a non-cannon one. like 98', 2002 & XII
Like Avengers Emdgame? Lol
Nice!
Very interested in the story of Nightmare Rugal :)
You asked SNK if it's true that the Shunne'i Saga ends in XV?...Altough to be Honest this already feels like a Dream Match but Canon to the Timeline making your asumption more or less true...But if it serious then man...really the next entry will need to have changes in the roster and a more elaborate story to be better than this...Except the Gameplay...some refinements and the Gameplay will still be great!
I think shun ei still gonna be the protagonist like his ending literally about him just started his journey 😂
With how stupid XV's story is, all I have to thank is you for actually explaining it
I am happy for k9999 he sure got matured also I am waiting for rugal I want to see his special interactions with kyo and hidern.
Btw nice narration as usual bro .👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
@@ShoryuGame welcome bro, but its true I enjoy your naration 🙂.
Thanks for making this video 🇧🇩❤️
And thank you for watching!
