Yashiro Nanakase of the Parched Earth (乾いた大地の社, Kawaita Daichi no Yashiro) is the Heavenly King title of Yashiro Nanakase. This is an alternate form of Yashiro that was introduced in The King of Fighters '97 as part of the sub-boss team, alongside Orochi Shermie and Orochi Chris. The inspiration for his Orochi name was taken from the ending song of Combat Mecha Xabungle.

[edit] Story

It's not known when Yashiro realized he was a Heavenly King. Yashiro entered the '97 tournament with Shermie and Chris to get his revenge on Iori Yagami for stealing his show, but the true reason they entered the tournament was to collect energy from the fighters and use it to awake Orochi. At the end of the tournament, Yashiro, Shermie and Chris activated the Riot of the Blood within Leona Heidern and Iori Yagami. When the two were defeated, the New Faces Team revealed themselves as Heavenly Kings and started to fight the Japan Team. Yashiro faced Goro Daimon but was defeated. Defeated, Yashiro and Shermie killed themselves to give their energy to Orochi, their master.

[edit] Personality

As a Heavenly King, Yashiro gives himself to his master and his goal: destroy humanity. He becomes sadistic and fights with his heart for his master.

[edit] Powers

Geokinesis - Given by Orochi, Yashiro is able to control the earth.
- Earthquake - Yashiro can create earthquakes with seemingly little effort.
- Eruption - Yashiro can make volcanoes erupt.
- Super Strength - Yashiro is powered up by earth's power and is able to grab and throw anyone easily.
Orochi Power - As a Heavenly King, Yashiro has limited control over the Orochi Power.
- Activate Riot of the Blood - Yashiro can activate the Riot of the Blood in others.
- Syphon - Yashiro can give energy to Orochi.
- Orochi Pillar - Yashiro can create a pillar of dark energy from Orochi.

[edit] Fighting Style

Yashiro leaves his striking style and gains an entirely grappling-based style, using his now acquired super strength to help him in battle. Like the other Four Kings, his moves are all written using the Cyrillic alphabet.
