| Mizuchi | Story | Move List | Gallery | Quotes | Trivia |
Mizuchi (ミズチ), whose namesake is a Japanese mythological water spirit, is one of the bosses that challenge players in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.
He is voiced by Tsunehito Maruo.
Story[]
He is a clone of Orochi made by WAREZ. It is unknown how he was exactly created, but it is implied that he possessed a part of Orochi's spirit. The body he possesses is a black-haired boy, believed to not be of Orochi blood. If he is defeated, his body will disintegrate, unable to contain the deity's power any longer. In his ending, the spirit part of the deity merges with its host and releases Orochi in the world again. Mizuchi wants to end humans into nothingness to save Gaia.
Personality[]
In contrast to the Orochi, who still holds some regard for humans, Mizuchi is arrogant with power, he loathes "humans" and seeks to end their existence.
Powers[]
As he is a clone of Orochi, he uses the same divine powers like Orochi. Although he uses water as his primary power which has cutting abilities.
- Hydrokinesis - Mizuchi has control over water like Orochi.
- Energy Projectile - Mizuchi can release a projectile of cutting energy from his hands.
- Energy Pillar - Mizuchi can create a pillar of energy from the ground.
- Cutting Light Generation - Mizuchi can create a powerful light of cutting energy that damages the enemy.
- Damage Soul - Mizuchi can penetrate the enemy's soul, take a part of it and crush it.
- Superhuman Strength - Mizuchi has superhuman strength.
- Cutting Powers - Mizuchi is able to slash things apart with ease (via slashing hands, cutting aura, slashing projectile).
- Possession - Mizuchi can possess its host.
Fighting Style[]
Mizuchi fights mainly with his powers. As he levitates, he is a long-ranged fighter. His powers maintain a snowflake motif, a nod to his name "Mizu", which means water in Japanese. However, the dark projectiles which Orochi employed (when it possessed Chris) are no longer available as well Orochi's main white light. Though a majority of its moves are relatively the same with the exact kanji used and alternate character readings displayed as well.

Trivia[]
- Despite Mizuchi's first playable appearance being in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, his sprite is actually derived from Orochi's appearance in The King of Fighters 2002, during Orochi Chris' HSDM/MAX2DM.
- Because of this, there has been sprite artwork dissonance due to how different Orochi's original sprite artwork was from Mizuchi's. Mizuchi also uses Orochi's unique sprites that exclusively appeared in the Playstation port of KOF'97.
- Ironically, none of Mizuchi's sprites would be adapted for later use in Orochi's reappearance in 98UM, opting for all-new redrawn sprites.
