"Can you hear the earth roar?! He's risen above humans, and commands the land itself! OROCHI YASHIRO." - The King of Fighters XV

Orochi Yashiro (オロチやしろ), also named as "Yashiro Nanakase of the Parched Earth" (かわいた大地だいちやしろ) 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.

Personality[]

As a Heavenly King, Orochi Yashiro gives himself to his master and his goal: destroy the humanity. Unlike his normal (and human) form, he is far crueler, is extremely battle hungry and is open with how appalled he is by humanity. However, at the same token, Orochi Yashiro is conflicted, as deep down, he has come to enjoy the culture of mankind, and finds a world without them a bore to him.

Powers[]

  • Geokinesis - Granted by Orochi, Yashiro is able to control the earth.
    • Earthquake - Yashiro can create earthquakes by simply willing them to happen.
    • Eruption - Yashiro focus his power and make volcanoes erupt.
    • Super Strength - Yashiro is empowered by earth's energy and is able to grab and throw anyone with one hand & no apparent effort.
    • Seismic Impact - Yashiro empowers his throws by triggering this power. When his opponent reaches the floor after being thrown, Yashiro creates small bursts of energy from the earth beneath them, causing even more damage to his opponent.
    • Earth Blast - By touching the ground and absorbing energy from the earth, Yashiro can fire a powerful blast of energy. The longer he absorbs energy from the earth, the more powerful the blast becomes.
  • 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 those succeptible to it.
    • Syphon - Yashiro can channel energy and transfer it to his master.
    • Orochi Energy - Yashiro can use energy from Orochi and transform it into a raw state, making him able to create a pillar of energy, on which a skull appears. He uses it to finish his opponent off.

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. He mimics Goro Daimon's moves to an extent while maintaining his agility, being his counterpart.

Trivia[]

  • The inspiration for his Orochi name was taken from the ending song of Combat Mecha Xabungle.
  • In regards to such a move, it is never in the same game as his Hoeru Daichi DM. As a result, Orochi Yashiro's entire list of both specials and DMs/supers has only one DM or uniquely-named move out of the rest that can even hit an airborne foe.
  • Like the other Four Kings, all of his moves are all written using the Cyrillic alphabet.
    • His theme in KOF XV also is written in this alphabet.
