Some time prior to the eleventh tournament, Yuri Sakazaki, one of the Kyokugenryu Karate practitioners, called Malin's fighting style "cowardly".

Seeing their chance to defeat the Kyokugenryu students at their low point, they formed the "Anti-Kyokugenryu Team" in order to beat them. In their team's ending, Malin, Eiji, and Kasumi has arranged for a fight against the Kyokugenryu practitioners during Ryo Sakazaki and King's date, only for them to accidentally get caught in the wrath of an enraged King (due to Yuri, Takuma, and Robert Garcia's shenanigans' to get the two together as a couple).
