KOF's Biggest Unresolved Plots

[@jjenk911]

As Professor Thorgi said during his KoF Retrospectives... "Hey... Remember Ron?"

[@neloku1]

the fact we never got a playable Those From The Past team saddens me to this day. 😢

[@meganinten0078]

My beloved Botan! 😭 She should have been the sub boss of KOF XI instead of Shion! Botan was easily the most memorable member of Those From The Past (what a weird name for an evil organization)

[@JT-nd6qp]

@@meganinten0078 Those From the Past isn't really the name of their organization, it's just how the game refers to them because they are not given a formal name. Personally I would call them the Atavists. Avatism is basically the desire to return to another time.

[@neloku1]

@meganinten0078 Botan could have been a sick boss character. I love the thin wire users. Im sure SNK would have made something interesting with that.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Lorewise, Botan is controlling Rose and the festivities. Before KOF 2003 and until the rest of Saiki's team were sacrificed.

[@meganinten0078]

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 I think that was a retcon Adelheid's ending in KOF XI, shows the moment Rose was mind controled by Botan Even before being manipulated, Rose was not a friendly person. She is like a spoiled rich gal who is also a sore loser like her dad

[@guillermo4687]

The Dragon Spirt plot will never be solved, I fear. The NESTS saga is criminally underrated. I would also love to know if Kasumi found her father, LOL. Great video, Shoryu! 🎉

[@abnnizzy]

I don't know, this plot can be easily resolved. He couldn't be in XV cause he was training the Dragon Spirit power, just like Ron said he would. In KOF XVI he could appear with a completely different play style as he mastered the Dragon Spirit.

[@dannytarver4533]

Kasumi's father is always watching her, maybe he wants her to get stronger on her own but interferes if she's in trouble. Then disappears without her knowing. I don't get it either

[@meganinten0078]

So about the plot of the Hizoku clan...here is my theory That was an idea that SNK themselves knew was terrible, so they decided to ignore it. KOF 2000, the game where Lin and the Hizoku were introduced, was not made by all the staff who worked in the previous games At that time, SNK was like a burning ship that was about to hit an iceberg Many SNK employees left the company, even important key members like Takashi Nishiyama, who worked as a producer in the series since KOF 94 It wouldn't be the only idea SNK decided to ignore, just remember the destruction of Southtown at the end of KOF 2000, later games never mention that incident like it never happened

[@meganinten0078]

​@@abnnizzy I had the idea of Mui Mui helping Kensou with his training of the Dragon Power In KOF XIV, Kensou met Mui Mui, and looks like they got along. I hope that SNK bring her back! Unlike Love Heart, they still owned Mui Mui

[@abnnizzy]

@@meganinten0078 I don't know, I hated mui mui. She looks like a carbon copy of Li Xiangfei thematically. They should've used her.

[@Nic5Cyprus]

The story of Ron is interesting because it was supposed to be concluded in the nests ark but it didn't so snk moved it to the ash saga but then it was dropped. The only thing that can partially reveal what Ron wanted to do with the Psycho Soldiers is one line by Saiki telling Kensu that the Psycho Soldiers are similar to Those From the Past

Looking back, Eolith did the right thing about not concluding the Ron's subplot in KOF 2001 KOF 2000 was very over ambitious in terms of story It doesn't help that many staff members left SNK and didn't work in KOF 2000 I can't see all the subplots being resolve in just one game The NESTS Saga needed at least four chapters But as I said, KOF 2001 wasn't the culprit, at least it ended up with a good cliffhanger to be resolve in the next saga The Ash Saga was the main culprit about forgetting the Ron and Hizoku's subplot

[@matthewpulama106]

Honestly, if those unresolved storylines (as well as Ron making his return and maybe Leona's father being playable) ever get solved, it'll be one hell of a miracle. Hey, C'mon C'mon SNK, do something with these storylines please!

[@leizuworldwide]

Hope they bring the Dragon Spirit storyline back

[@Ninja07Keaton]

Ron is Duo Lon's father. Meaning that any chance of the Dragon Spirit storyline continuing will more than likely be through Duo Lon.

[@Hola-ro6yv]

I agree. I may be the only one who thinks this but Kensou is an underrated character.

[@rafikhankhadem6657]

This is why we needed a season based KoF anime focusing on every available plot, and maybe connect with other SNK universes.

[@royasturias1784]

KoF Destiny show was *the* chance to do so, S1 being the 94 tournament organized by the arms smuggler Rugal Bernstein, with some creative liberties. Then the studio IDRAGONS went silent for about 6 years after they had teased Goenitz and his role in S2 (95 tournament).

[@Ren_184]

Maybe we’ll get more info on Vice and Mature when they come out in KOF 15 this month

[@GeekGhostGamerTop]

KoF really has some really unfinished stories (Ron, Mature and Vice, Billy Kane, etc.) Hell, even Kyo and Iori are still at necks against each amidst leaving Orochi's shadow. Man, SNK really needs to resolve these secondary plot hole stories in a future KoF series (like KoF XVI).

[@JoshuaAlto]

Agree. Shingo did resolve the whole hostility between Kyo & Iori into harmonious rivalry, via time-travelling adventure in the manga, but how was it unresolved.

[@MiaRabinovich]

kyo and iori feud is explained in the recent origin of the flame manga

[@GeekGhostGamerTop]

@MiaRabinovich okay, but, still though for game? Not to say that the "Origin of the Flame" manga doesn't do justice. But, for the game though......

[@rikib3652]

These plots are too good to abandon, hopefully one or two will resurface in KOF 16

[@WoobertAIO]

I don't think Vice & Mature's hidden plot has been forgotten or unresolved, but rather that it's still in progress. SNK has given some very ARG-like clues to what's happening with that throughout the years. Like, Vice & Mature are helping Iori inconditionally and without giving any explanation for it, but with a weird and absolute subservience, almost like how they were with Rugal. There's also the fact that Magaki in KoF XI said "there's no way Orochi doesn't wake up with all of this fighting energy" and then Iori _immediately_ went into the Riot of the Blood so hard that he beat _Kyo of all people_ unconscious and sent Shingo to a no-fighting recovery for several years. Then in KoF XV we have Iori's Climax, where he speaks with Orochi's voice. And finally, during Vice & Mature's announcement for KoF XV, SNK went and said "This is the first time all 8 Hakkeshu have been in the same game" which is weird because even with Vice & Mature that would only make 7, right? So my theory here is that Iori somehow, without realizing it himself, became Orochi's vessel at some point. Probably at either the end of KoF XIII where he willingly accepted Orochi's corrupted flames, or at the end of KoF XIV where they slay a portion of Orochi's power that had revived without a vessel due to Verse's death.

[@MrDarksol]

KOF may have had their storylines and everything mostly air tight but it's always stuff like the dragon spirit, the those from the past and vice and mature with their story arcs not being resolved even after all these years really reminds me there's just not enough time to flesh out every single character and every single bit of media. It would be cool to get all of these storylines finally be given answers but then we come across the issue of maybe it's gonna come up with a stupid resolution and maybe it's all right if we just leave it alone as is. Although that dragon spirit one definitely needed some more build up.

[@ragenstorm6464]

man, these are all great plots that SNK needs to take up one day. I can't imagine SNK laying this groundwork and not following through eventually. That's what sets them apart from the other fighting game franchises. Thanks for the vid Shoryu!

Not really a forgotten story, as it was only revealed in KOF XIV IW ending. And further hinted in XV.

[@joseurbina3835]

The only way for these Forgotten Stories to have a Resurgence is to make one of it's Background Characters into Playable Characters like Ron and Botan in future KOF Installments, it's the only way.

Excellent video Shoryu! I agree 💯 with what you said about character development of DLC in KOF but just the fact that Mature and Vice returning as DLC at all is still exciting and gives me hope that they might bring back Duck King as DLC too!

[@nintendolife25]

It’s such a shame that we may never continue the Dragon Spirit subplot. It really showcased how Kensou is actually a powerhouse with hidden potential and is more than Athena’s hopeless romantic.

[@ThiefofRPGistheWanderingSoul]

KoF plotlines seem to always have problems because of the final game of a storyline having production issue causing problems. In particular 2001 being built understaffed and overrworked by the remnants of SNK at Breezasoft and Eolith and XIII having so many issues due to how expensive and long to create each of the sprites were. XIII also just lacked so many important characters so it isn't surprising that the planned Those From the Past Team was scrapped so they could include more staple characters given the reaction to XII missing so many staples at that point in the series with Mai, King, Yuri, K', Maxima, Whip, Blue Mary, Shingo, and the Ash Saga characters like Oswald, Adelheid, Malin, Tizoc, and Gato.

[@omegadragon9524]

Imo some of the older plots were better than newer plots because they didnt have to end up dropping a character, it would actually keep them longer. See when I first played KOF 2 years ago and got into 2001, I actually thought Lin was gonna make it the whole way through with the Hizoku plotline and Ron's existence thats tied to NESTS. We got Duo Lon in 03 which was interesting but Lin never returned and Duo Lon is just there to be trolled by Ash

[@TUZOIVAN16]

Kensou should be the next protagonist and bring back his plot. :(

[@isauromunoz4289]

Maybe some mysteries and questions about Mature and Vice will be answered now that they’re about to arrive to kof xv

[@redchariot4006]

NESTS saga is criminally underrated, we will probably never know what happened to Ron Also I wish Botan was brought back as a playable character, she is the one member of those from the past who survived, she made Chizuru her b#$ch(and showed us how much Kagura really sucks) put some respect to her name more than the NPC who kicked Chizuru's ass off-screen Considerating they always return. At least they should explain how Mature and Vice are still alive. But nope, we will probably get another generic restaurant ending with them

[@emperormegaman3856]

I'm currently playing KOF 01 and i really think Ron should have been the sub-boss instead of true Zero. After his appearance in team Benimaru's ending, it just felt logical.

[@PaperPrincessChannel]

I absolutely love Shion, and I can't wait to see him again. I think a femboy type like him would make a great addition to the regular KoF roster, but it would be nice just to see him as part of the remnants of Those From the Past as, like, a mid-boss or sub-boss or something again. That being said, I think the Dragon Spirit plot has more weight overall, so that would probably make for the better plot for the next games. Either way, you gotta love it when a game can taunt you with the possibilities! Looking forward to more videos from you and for the future of KoF!

[@eyalrephaeli6833]

Shion was originally going to be one of Ron's children. perhaps KoFXVI will resolve this plot ponts while making Terry and Ryo the protagonists again.

[@YeldellGW]

Who attacked the 03 Women team members prior to KOF 03? Who assaulted Takuma at the end of the same game? The Ash saga had plenty of ideas that got thrown under the bus. Between that and the musical chair shenanigans with the teams, it was easily my least favorite saga for this series. And then came the death cheating bs of the latest saga…

[@juanca2567]

The Ash Saga really felt like the worst for rushing the plot in 03, going either further (Ikari, Psycho Soldier, and K’) and comedically halting the plot (Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Garou), and then giving up on the plot in 13, with only the Kyo team and Rival team endings having any real weight.

[@o_oro-q1k]

Nothing is worse than whatever the hell they're currently doing.

[@meganinten0078]

The story of the Ash Saga felt like it was written by a different writer in each game. Maybe that is why the Ash Saga ended up with everyone forgetting about the events of that saga. It is like SNK Playmore knew the story was so bad that they hit the 'reset button'

[@lightsoulja]

To me the biggest mystery is the real reason behind Iori and Kyo's rivalry. During the canonic ending in kof96 Kyo said it has nothing to do with the war between the Yagami and the Kusanagi. And Iori said he has no desire of correcting his bloodline. So if their rivalry is not about the families, why are they fighting?

[@Luh_katkat]

They don't like each other

[@dannytarver4533]

They are supposed to actually just hate each other for real, Iori more so than Kyo but he hates everyone.

[@enenra6417]

Iori just hates Kyo with a passion

[@lightsoulja]

My theory is it has something to do with their childhood. In Kof95 when Iori's team reaches the final stage Saisyu recognizes Iori saying he has grown up, meaning Iori met the Kusanagi family when he was a child. He probably met Kyo when they were both kids. I think originally he didn't care about the rivalry then something happened that triggered him and made him hate them. Especially Kyo. I'd like to say he has something to do with Iori's father's death but it's probably more complicated than that. I don't he hates him just for the sake of hating him. Originally Iori doesn't like violence so there must be a very good reason for him to hate Kyo. The fact that they can team up when necessary makes it even more obvious that what divides them is deeper than just a random rivalry.

[@JoshuaAlto]

Sigh... Shingo did resolve the whole Iori & Kyo hostility via Origin of the Flame manga, how does the freaking long-time rivalry still unresolved. Seriously, this hostile rivarly needs to end one way or another. When Ryu & Ken ended their rivalry, so can Kyo & Iori.

I'm really hoping that some of these plot lines return in the future and it having to do with Gaidel's resurrection.

[@Hola-ro6yv]

[@meganinten0078]

The Ash Saga has the worst writing They introduced subplots that were never resolved It felt like it was written on the fly with no clear direction Like for example, the sub plot about who was that mysterious person who attacked and defeated Takuma leaving him in the hospital, in the ending of the Art of Fighting Team in KOF 2003, one of the best endings in that game...only for KOF XI to reveal that Takuma just got sick And let's not forget about Duo Lon's mission to find Ron...only to him to forgot about that mission and just being there. That is why I always ask, why they couldn't just bring back Lin in KOF 2003? Duo Lon was pointless Maybe that is why the Ash Saga ended up with everyone forgetting about the events of the saga It is like SNK Playmore knew the story was terrible so they hit the reset button

[@Luh_katkat]

Vice snd mature were suppose to be dead in kof 96 they couldn't find good explanations for their comebacks cuz they only returned for fan service.

[@meganinten0078]

Yeah pretty much. The actual reason why Vice and Mature returned is because, KOF XIII was full on Orochi Saga nostalgia As you can see in the roster

[@conradojavier7547]

I want the Next Saga be KOF Originals Only, No Fatal Fury & Art of Fighting Characters to Bloat the Roster.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Just a public service reminder that the main protag of Fatal Fury is one of the most popular SNK characters, even outshining Kyo and Iori at ths point in time. Thanks to Masahiro Sakurai. And Capcom. And to some extent, Arika.

[@tracyndiyob162]

the ash saga really did have the problem of shilling ash's tbh obvious story that the other characters really were forgotten hard with kensou being a real unfortunate case going from a potential earth shattering force to alongside ron(and lin/igniz secretary misty joining likely for revenge) the dragon spirit being forgotten(looking back in the same saga it disappeared pretty quickly in 2001/krizalid revived on a team likely giving him redemption before it got shelved.) to being a athena simp(making her a bit of a jerk not just telling him fully her feelings that even luong calls her out on it.) that he missed out on 15 so far(where tbh it should've been him and their master as the circus acts with mai & yuri as idols alongside athena though do like it hints if we see him they'll bring it back with how he's gone to train,'angel teasing him about it in 14 & duo lon bringing it/ron up.). those from the past are pretty much just botan now(who isn't that much of a threat with how it's mostly shown she just went n disappeared into society.) as shroom is implied to be killed by shion(who after what happened to him don't think he'd want to join up with them again but would really love to see shion return as i loved his effeminate style.). in kof 13/14 those from the past took energy from orochi so they were sent by him to do something about it(with i guess 14 being verse presence messing with orochi enough for them to be playable with how he almost revived.) & awakened orochi's ending implying for vice/mature they left orochi likely to join up with iori(they were surprisingly caring like mothers to him with how they let him choose his path in 13 with not much malice/could see them playing around with him but in their own way happy to be with him after vice very likely lets out a pent up rage fight for what iori did to her.). unresolved plot points i'd love to see being: kof's version of geese story with rock(that would be an interesting perspective as i don't need him being pulled for cotw.)/possibly going after orochi as it feels like he'll be the next threat for kof16. adelheid as he/rose haven't shown up at all after the ash saga especially the missed opportunity of them seeing their father rugal revived(instead of being as irrelevant as the dream matches.). luong definitely likely planning revenge on blue mary(who's surprisingly a incompetant detective compared to her fatal fury version with how she's helped geese twice.) for almost getting hein killed switched the gem she took from dolores to defeat him. the gateways that otama raga left open leading to the possibility of more snk series to the roster/revived characters like chizuru's sister maki from verse defeat. cys redemption as outside chris being pure evil awakened orochi's ending showed if orochi did win shermie/yashiro might regret the bare world and would be an extreme waste having them just be one note evil to die again/interesting interactions they have like yashiro appreciating the earth with dolores(that with her knowledge could give them a different path to take.)/kukri & shermie with sylvie paula paula being a good friend to her. orochi's inevitable return as with how it's been teased twice he's definitely the last big threat the characters need to deal with for good considering it's inspiration & with leona's father now alive who was a hakkeshu could be a way to stop him.(with how in the original tale it was defeated being made drunk love shingo doing that.) in the beginning of the ash saga in the art of fighting team ending takuma gets attacked by an assassin(doesn't feel like those from the past did it with how none of the aof team mention it to saiiki/don't feel important enough they'd go after them.) likely part of malin's hire with how she was sent to spy on the kof fighters/disliked yuri's disposition that she teamed up with eiji and kasumi(who's father is still missing.)before it was forgotten with the other ash saga plots that could go into if she did it.
