Yashiro Nanakase was revealed for King of Fighters 15 in the newest trailer released by SNK. We take a good look at its gameplay during the new trailer.
Yashiro made his debut in The King of Fighters ’97. It can’t be played in a King of Fighters title since The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match, so seeing your return in King of Fighters 15 is a great pleasure.
During one of the King of Fighters tournaments, the Orochi blood inside Yashiro woke up. He then worked diligently to gather the fighters’ energy in an attempt to resurrect Orochi.
Eventually, Yashiro and Shermie ended up committing suicide to transfer their energy to Chris, who then acted as Orochi’s host. The Three Sacred Treasures – Kyo, Iori and Chizuru – worked together to seal Orochi again.
Verse’s defeat in King of Fighters 14 apparently caused many characters, like Yashiro Nanakase, to be revived. This provides a possible explanation of why Chizuru returned as a playable character in King of Fighters, and why Kyo and Iori are now working together on Team Sacred Treasures.
