Omega Rugal/Story


 * Omega Rugal's life is also tied to Rugal Bernstein's life. For more information, click here.

The King of Fighters '95
When Rugal Bernstein was trying to channel Orochi's power, Goenitz came to him and attacked him, removing his eye permanently. Rugal survived the attack and Goenitz gave him some extent of power and warned him not to use his full power. Goenitz left Mature and Vice to watch him. In '94, Rugal sponsored the King of Fighters tournament but lost to Kyo Kusanagi. He returned the following year and decided to use 80% of his full power, causing his hair to turn white with his skin gaining a darkened-pale complexion.

Even with that power and his cybernetic enhancements, Rugal lost to Kyo, Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon. Frustrated by his 2nd defeat, Rugal tries to tap in more of the Orochi power, but just as he does, Rugal's body explodes into microscopic pieces, instantly killing him.

The King of Fighters '98

After years of being dead, Omega Rugal is revived in the remains of the Black Noah under the sea. After being defeated by whichever team came his way, he blows up the Black Noah, with the fighters escaping.

The King of Fighters 2002

 * This section is non-canon.

Omega Rugal returns in The King of Fighters 2002 (and its remake, The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match), now in a new airship. He goes all out from the start, with extremely powerful attacks and skills. Despite this, he is defeated by whichever Team came his way, with him either being eviscerated along with his airship (in KOF 2002) or him blowing it up himself (in KOF 2002 UM). He seems to be gone for good this time...

The King of Fighters XV
Like many deceased fighters, Omega Rugal was resurrected by the defeat of Verse, and now enters the fifteenth tournament alone. He has no involvement in the main story, and only exists to confirm his resurrection after Verse's defeat in The King of Fighters XIV.
