Mature and Vice screenshots

Latest details

■ Mature and Vice

Content Name: Downloadable content character set “Mature +  Vice”

Release Date: December 12, 2024

Price: $9.99 / €9.99 (two-character set)

Mature (voiced by Yu Shimamura)

Mature once counted herself among the Hakkesshu—eight fervent acolytes plotting the resurrection of the divine Orochi (the so-called “will of the earth”). The cruel beauty is fast and fluid in her offense, lacerating opponents with razor-sharp strikes. Her coldhearted realism is a far cry from Vice’s own personality.

Vice (voiced by Mayumi Saco)

Like Mature, Vice was once one of the Hakkesshu—loyal followers who sought to revive the dreaded Orochi. Her frail stature masks a decidedly violent ruthlessness, which comes to the fore in the way she fights: unbridled strength and brutal throws. Vice is intrigued by Iori Yagami, who carries Orochi blood in his veins.

■ Balance Adjustments for All Characters

Alongside the December 12 arrival of special downloadable content fighters Mature and Vice, the game will receive a host of balance adjustments across the board. Get ready to experience The King of Fighters XV like never before!

DLC Characters Mature and Vice Release Date Trailer

[sasorikigai]

Long ago, there was a legendary snake entity named Orochi, who was the guardian of nature. He created eight strongest warriors known as Hakkesshu. But as humanity began to grow, humans caused destruction and the balanced began to crumble. 1800 years ago, Orochi can no longer tolerate man's insolence and decided to wipe humanity from the face of earth. His clan and the human race wage war until three human clans, the Kusanagi, Yasakani and Yata, defeated and sealed him. 660 years before King of Fighters (KoF), Orochi's seal began to weaken. The three clan decided to move it's vessel into another location. Wanting to release Orochi, one of the Hakkesshu killed the Yasakani's wife to cause turmoil and distrust to the three clan. Under a disguise, the Hakkesshu approached the Yasakani head and informed them that it was the Kusanagi who murdered his wife as "attonement" for letting the seal get weak, then to fan the fire, the wife's corpse was found on the Kusanagi's homeland. This is when the Kusanagi-Yasakani rivalry started. Angered by these actions, the Yasakani begged Orochi for power to exact their revenge, learning the forbidden technique, Maiden Masher, the Yasakani later renamed themselves as the Yagami clan. As a curse with their bargain with Orochi, their once crimson flame was turned into bluish tint, the mothers of babies born die during child birth and each heir dies at a young age.

Upon inspecting the history between the Kusanagi-Yasakani rivalry, but more importantly, the reason why Iori Yagami is always serious, rude and direct-to-the-point character, I would not be surprised if he already suffers from the effects of this 'curse,' since he is the heir to this cursed lineage that is demon-tainted without his choice. He is 21 as of current, but vile effects of entering the 'Orochi' state could make him vomit blood, unpredictably become violent until it causes blackout.

He cannot have proper and healthy relationships, because the Riot of the Blood state of mind would turn him into an animalistic homicidal beast, killing anyone near him, regardless of the relationship status.

While Iori is a handsome, charismatic Japanese man with long flowing red hair who can attract anyone and everyone, he has lived a rough life and his curse with the Orochi drives him insane. With a permanent scowl affixed to his face, he often acts withdrawn and antisocial towards others. He also can come across as nihilistic, with a negative outlook of life.

He also is frequently tormented by an Orochi identity that resides within him, who mocks and belittles him as its master. This vicious cycle of his "identity crisis," would irritate him greatly, until it angers him, causing him to physically react in a usually violent manner.

This is why he always drives anyone who wants to get friendly towards him away. He is a tragic character with a complex history which makes him an antihero, sometimes a villain, and most importantly, a relatable hero in the end.

Orochi explaining to the Hakkesshu why they need to exterminate humanity

Orochi: They poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague unto our houses!

Hakkesshu: They did!?

Orochi: No, but are we just gonna wait around until they DO?

[mana-sputachu]

I have a lot of feelings about the Hakkesshu and I bet you do too! With a bunch of folks coming back to life, what do you think are the odds that Goenitz comes back as an antagonist in another game?

Oh, I'm quite sure that Windy Asshole will be back in the next game (maybe even as next DLC in XV). XV's endings were 90% fillers (lord, what even was 3ST's...) but it was clear Orochi Team had a plan, and Goenitz's presence will be, of course, required.

And you know what I'd LOVE to see happen and that of course it won't?

Seeing Chizuru going absolutely berserk on him.

My girl never truly had a chance to mourn Maki, and in the old KoF: Kyo manga she says to Goenitz she wants to kill him. And you know she has the skills to do it, firebois are physical powerhouses but her powers and skills put her on another, scary level.

Seeing her getting her revenge, or at least trying, would be a dream for me.

But of course it won't happen, so... *quietly sobs*

Mini Fanfic #612: Reacting to An Actual KOF Movie (King of Fighters)

'Door Open'

Shingo: Guys! (Excitedly Walks into K' and Kula's Apartment) You will NOT believe what I just brought at the store today!

Rock: (Turns to Shingo) What is it, Shingo?

Kula: (Immediately Gets Excited) Ooh! Is it sweets?

K': (Slouch Down on the Sofa in a Bored Expression) Is it something stupid?

Shingo: Nope!

Kula: (Sad and Disappointed) Awww.....

Shingo: (Shows the Gang a DVD Case) It's the King of Fighters Movie! In Live-Action!!

Rock: Wait. (Takes a Look at The Case) Someone actually made a movie about the tournament?

Kula: (Smiles Brightly) Neat.

K': ('Tch') It's probably another cash grab.

Shingo: Oh come on, K'. It won't be that bad.

K': (Turns to Shingo) Kid, have you even seen Hollywood's track record, when it comes to making crappy live adaptations of some famous franchises?

Rock: I'm gonna have to agree with K' on this one. We have seen some pretty mediocre stuff in those types movies.

Shingo: Yeah. But... I'm sure it won't be too bad. And who knows? This just might be the best adaptation we've seen so far.

One to Two Hours Later........

TV: (Rolling Credits)

'Silence'

Rock: .....C-...Can anyone explain to me what we just saw here?

Kula: (Frowns Disappointed) Yeah! How come I wasn't in the movie?!

K': (Turns to Kula) The hell are you talking about? None of us were in this movie.

Shingo: (Crosses his Arms) Well, this movie was supposed to take place during the time when Rugal used to host the first and second KOF tournament......(Frowns in Disappointment) But I don't remember any of that happened in real life. (Turns to Rock) Was Terry actually in some sort of secret agency before or something?

Rock: I don't think so. I mean, he did told me that he used to work alongside with Mary sometime ago, you know, since she worked in an agency herself and everything. But he was never declared an actual agent. Plus, I highly doubt that he would interested in that sort of stuff anyways.

Kula: Isn't Ms. Mai supposed to be a ninja? Why was she dressed in all black throughout the entire movie?

Rock: (Shrugged) Your guess is as good as mine. And speaking of which, her and everyone else in the movie, looks completely unrecognizable from one another. Like, wasn't that Iori guy supposed to have red hair or something?

Shingo: Yeah....Not even Kyo-san looks right to me either. Furthermore..... Did Mature and Vice always had some kind of platonic relationship with one another or....

Rock: (Raised an Eyebrow in Confusion) Who are they again?

K': They're two weird looking women who followed Iori around everywhere for....some reason.

Shingo: They only follow him because he has the Orochi's Blood since he was younger. I think a while back, Chizuru-Senpai told me that they were also in some kind of twisted cult known as the Hakkesshu.

Kula: (Shutters in a Bit of Fear) W-W-Whoever they are... They're s-still creepy.....

Shingo: ('Sigh') Tell me about it.... Also, wasn't Rugal supposed to be a lot more intimidating in person?

K': Who cares? The movie still sucks.

Rock: Yeah....

Shingo: It was pretty bad.....

Kula: (Nodded in Agreement) Mhmm.

Shingo: Well....(Pulls Out Another DVD Case out of a Bag) At least I got another movie for us to watch.

Rock: (Looks at Movie's Title) KOF Destiny....They made another one?

Shingo: Yep. The retailer told me that this is one is suppose to be a lot better than the Live Action version.

K': (Gives Shingo a Dumbfounded Glare) Are you telling me we wasted two hours on a trash film, when we could've been watching a good one instead?!

Shingo: (Frightfully Hold his Hands up in Defense) I only wanted to see if it was good or not! I had no idea it would be that bad!!

Rock: Well, either way, I wouldn't mind giving the second movie a shot.

Kula: (Smiles Brightly) Yeah! I wanna give it a shot too! It sounds promising!

K': ('Tch') Whatever. (Glares Back at Shingo) This movie better be good, Yabuki!

Shingo: (Smiles Sheepishly and Awkwardly) It will be! I promise! (Or at least I hope so......('Gulp') For my sake...)

An Hour and a Half later, the second movie was better in everyone's eyes and Shingo's life was saved.
