Team Sacred Treasures

The Team Sacred Treasures (三種の神器チーム, Sanshunoshinki Chīmu) is a reoccurring Special Team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
Team Sacred Treasures, for most of the series, is not a normal team, but rather a Special Team consisting of members from other established Teams. However, unlike most Special Teams, this Special Team has events that are canon to the KOF series.

In The King of Fighters '96, Kyo, Iori, & Chizuru teamed up together to defeat Goenitz. After his defeat, Chizuru asks both Kyo and Iori to team up in order to defeat Orochi's threat, but both men refused, as they heavily disliked the idea of working together. Despite this, they were forced to team up again during The King of Fighters '97, when Yashiro, Shermie, and Chris kidnapped Yuki as a sacrifice to resurrect Orochi. After defeating the 3 remaining Heavenly Kings, as well as Orochi, Kyo mysteriously disappeared shortly after the battle.

In The King of Fighters 2003, Chizuru discovered that the seal to Orochi was breaking, and asked Kyo and Iori to investigate. However, once again, both men refused to assist each other, and ignored her request. Despite this, the three assisted Team K' to take down Mukai during the tournament's climax. Shortly afterwards, Ash Crimson stole her Yata Mirror, rendering her unable to use her powers.

For the first time in the series, Kyo, Iori, and Chizuru form Team Sacred Treasures in The King of Fighters XV as an official Team. Their reasoning is to investigate how Orochi was resurrected after Verse's defeat in the previous tournament, as well as dealing with the newly formed Team Orochi.
