The King Of Fighters XV is a game in the works at SNK which fans would love to see just to see who makes in, how it will look and how will it play in contrast with XIV. But some are interested in the story as well as we wait to see how the arc will progress after the introduction of Verse. Some are still asking more about its past such as its link to Saiki.
Let me explain. The reason how we got Verse in KOF lore is that the paradox created from Ash killing Saiki allowed him to come into the KOF world. Well some fans theorize that this proves that there is a link between the walking collection of souls and the god of time.
The idea is that Verse was sealed with or by Saiki to prevent something much worse from being free. Keep in mind Verse itself is a form of containment as with his defeat we got the missing or dead characters brought back in XIV. This refers to Krizlaid, Original Zero ,the heavenly kings and more. The reason why certain humans know of it is due to the deities telling certain people like the Kusinagi clan and so on.
Now this again a fan theory as so far we don’t know even know who in total was brought back through Verse. Remember the magna which is somewhat cannon only shows a fraction and it is 100% cannon so there will be differences. At the same time we do know Verse was containing something truly destructive as in its ending we see something land in Australia. As to what that is we have not yet been shown.
Could it be another deity that Orochi and Saiki both had to defeat and seal away? Is it something from another dimension? Or is it the water elemental half that some fans think as they suggest that since the fire is gone that element is left? If is another being who was so strong that both Saiki and Orochi had to team up to take it down that means it is nothing to laugh at. Remember we are talking about the embodiment of nature and champion of gaia in orochi and keep of time in Saiki. Powerful entities in there own right and that could mean this thing is far worse then we think. But that is just one take.
We will have to see in KOF XV if that is the case but then we will have to ask how do we explore that question? Well I can think of 3 ways. 1 we can leave it to playing the boss and see where there story goes. 2 We can have this explained in Ash ending if he makes it in or 3 both.
I would like both as if we don’t get a proper story mode it will best to split this answer in 2. Through Ash we see images as to how entity was contained. As for the boss ending we can see why they were contained as they remember what happened. For anyone worried about this making Ash the new hero that is not what I am saying. I want to use Ash to give context as part of an answer to what this thing is. A little history since we will be facing the real threat in XV and not its containment.
But is that what we are going to get? I hope we get a lot more story as KOF needs a good story mode and one that gives a little more explanation then what we got. But for that we will have to see what happens when we learn more about The King Of Fighters XV. Until then tell me your thoughts as we await for more news.
