Resurrected Souls

The Resurrected Souls are characters undead/resurrected by the evil entity Verse in The King of Fighters series.

It is implied that there are more souls contained by Verse than what is officially confirmed in the story, used as a plot device to canonically resurrect characters killed off from the previous saga.

Story
In the events of The King of Fighters XIV, mere moments after Antonov's defeat, a mysterious entity appears, destroying the stadium and causing the death of many people.

This Verse's manifestation has already caused time anomalies. A fragment of Verse is inside, and its presence compelled Nakoruru (who refers to him as Wei Kamui) to traverse through spacetime to defeat it. Shun'ei defeated Verse, but upon the defeat, it exploded and released omnimous mist across the world. With Verse's defeat, The King of Fighters tournament ends.

36 hours after the tournament's conclusion, Heidern receives information from Maxima about the creature that appeared during the finals of the tournament. The Ikari squad leader dubs the entity as Verse, due to it only yelling "Veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrse" when it spoke. Heidern confirms that there are several bodies that were resurrected and has already commenced a 24 hour surveillance. After the meeting he tells Leona that Gaidel's resurrection has not been confirmed, although Leona responds that she's not concerned with it.

Souls
The below lists shows all the souls contained in Verse, between officially alive and possibly resurrected:
