The 114 Shiki: Ara Gami and 115 Shiki: Dokugami are the stem moves from which Kyo's new arsenal branches. The 101 Shiki: Oboroguruma is replaced with the 707 Shiki: Doku Gaku Tori, also called the Rainbow Energy Dynamite or R.E.D. Kick. The 910 Shiki: Nue Tsumi is also a new addition and, like all other physical counter moves, will strike back against non-energy based attacks.

Win Quote Stop moping around and butch up, you weenie!
Win Quote Wow! Back to the gym for you. You're really pathetic.

Iori Yagami | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 |
Iori is the latest descendant of the Yagami clan, a cursed bloodline which has been condemned to living a short lifespan due to the Orochi blood flowing through their veins. He is a single, self-absorbed person who cares about nobody but himself and can't stand to be bossed around! His only goal in life is to defeat Kyo and, if anybody should oppose him, will dispose them down like the trash they are! (read bio)

Chizuru Kagura | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 |
Chizuru is the last remaining survivor of the Yata Clan whose obligation is to take care of the seal held over the Orochi power. She is the younger of two sisters born in the latest Kagura generation. Her older sister was the rightful heir, but was slain by Goenitz. With the defeat of Orochi, it is presumed that Chizuru now lives with ease now that Orochi power has been sealed again... for now. (read bio)

Defeat of Boss Team
Chizuru Replica Congratulations. A wonderful match.
Kyo Huh?
Replica I'm the one holding this tournament. It's too bad. I thought I'd see the power that destroyed Rugal!
Kyo What is this? Is this a joke, Kagura?
Iori ...?
Chizuru I don't know. It's unbelievable.
Kyo Who are you?
Replica My name is Kagura, the Guardian.
Kyo The Guardian?
Replica I want to see your true power, but if you've done your best, we'll part company now. What do you say?

Defeat of Kagura Replica
Replica I thought so. You're my sister. Chizuru, you must lead Kusanagi and Yagami.
Kyo What's going on? Who was she?
Chizuru She was my dead sister. We once protected the Orochi power together, until...
Kyo So why did she fight with us? What was the point?
Chizuru She was testing us to see if we are worthy of defeating the Orochi power.
Kyo The Orochi power?
Chizuru Yes, Rugal tried to seize it but failed. Our strength is needed to seal it off for good.
Iori Oh, brother!
Chizuru We have little time. I feel he's coming.
Kyo Who's coming?

Chizuru The one who took Rugal's right eye, broke the seal, and killed my sister!
Kyo What's this wind... Waaah!
Goenitz As I thought, no more than a few flies in my web.
Iori Who is he?
Goenitz At last I found you, Kagura! So you plan to seal off the Orochi power with these dweebs? I'll give you a choice: die while fighting of be killed quickly!
Chizuru That's some choice, ugly!
Kyo The answer to both is no! You're worm meat, Goenitz!
Goenitz Hah! Nonsense!

Defeat of Goenitz
Goenitz I guess I underestimated you. I never thought... BUt this isn't the end for you.
Iori Hah!
Kyo Eat this, pal!
Goenitz Gyaaah! Why? Why is there no wind? Gyaaaaah!
Iori Wow! I normally don't blast crimson flames! Wild!
Chizuru Kusanagi defeats, Yagami disposes. You have relived the events of 1800 years before! The evil serpent has been sealed off by the crimson flames of Yagami, defeated by Kusanagi! The crimson flames of Yagami cam from a part of your long repressed true essence.
Iori Nonsense! I don't buy that freudian garbage!
Chizuru The blue flames you control come from the Orochi power flowing within you. The reason for your bloodline's short life is this Orochi power. If you continue to use that power, you, too, will...
Iori Die? Who, me? I'm Yagami! Huh? Gah! Owaaaaah!
Chizuru Get a grip, Yagami! The Kusanagi-Yagami feud is pointless. Give it up and destroy the Orochi power with Kyo Kusanagi! We need your strength.
Iori Shut up! I live according to my will. No one orders me around!
Chizuru Are you the same, Kyo?
Kyo Hmmm. The battle is not between the Kusanagis and Yagamis, it's between him and me. I know nothing of the past. If the Orochi appears before Yagami, he will destroy it. If the Orochi appears before me, I'll destroy it too. So long.
Chizuru Kusanagi, we have watched your battle over the years. We have no intention to favor one over the other. We know this battle is inevitably senseless. Yagami, you, too, will someday realize this! And you, Kusanagi... You are destined to face the same fate! Until then, I'll...
