Official description

In the last King of Fighters tournament, Mukai had succeeded in releasing the power of Orochi. At the same time, Ash managed to steal the power of the Yata Mirror from Chizuru Kagura, the sponser of the competition who had been injured in the fighting. The competition ended in chaos and disorder.

Time has passed since then and a new King of Fighters tournament is about to begin.

One by one the participants are chosen, including some new faces. Eiji Kisaragi would be returning to the competition, while people like Oswald, Bonne Jenet, Duck King, Momoko and Elizabeth Blanctorche would be competing for the first time. What brings these people to the biggest fighting contest in the world, surrounded as it is with mystery and fear? This year should be even more exciting than usual.

Many conflicting motives exist just under the surface of the KOF tournament. What is the organisation known as 'Those From the Past' planning? What will happen to the power of Orochi that Mukai set free? Without Chizuru, will the remaining two members of the Three Sacred Treasures be able to cooperate as an effective team? And what is Ash Crimson's true goal?

The curtain is about to rise on a new battle...
