He talks about why Antonov is a self-proclaimed champion, even though the KOF has had several organizers over the years, and underscores Tung's first formal participation in the tournament, due to two reasons: being on a level that transcends victory and defeat and not show your true strength.

The new Kyokugen master says he will train in the mountains, which counts with the disapproval of his Italian friend. Yuri interrupts them both, boasting of having a card up their sleeve. Ryo looks with a certain disapproval, and Robert doesn't contain the enthusiasm.

The fight begins. Yuri begins delivering his first blow: a magic copied from Shun'ei. Tung says that it is just a mimic, as well as all the blows of the youngest Sakazaki. Ryo comments that his sister is quite talented towards him and Robert, but a weak point stands out. Meanwhile, Yuri dispels his technique in Meitenkun, which annuls it immediately and causes him surprise. But she does not faint and tries to deliver another copy, this time inspired by Tung. Again, overturned by Meitenkun. This infuriates his brother.

Ryo comments on her sister's weak point: she imitates any blow and movement, but her mood prevents her from making the most of her technique, weakening her. Tung points out that his sleeping disciple accumulates ki enough to overcome it, for a sleeping body facilitates the accumulation of this powerful energy.

Meitenkun counterattacks with an explosion of power, defeating Yuri and securing the victory of the China Team.

The Italian says his master serves great grilled meat. Tung declines because he doesn't eat meat. Not to lose a potential client, Robert and Yuri say there are other foods besides meat on the menu.

Yuri turns to Shun'ei and asks if he likes yanikiniku, and the young man asks what it is, with Tung responding that it is grilled meat, much to the amazement of Robert and Yuri. The two invite the rival team to eat the Yankiniku Kyokugen, awakening Ryo's ancestral fury.

The Kyokugen's new master says he doesn't want to know about his father's restaurant because they have lost training just to manage it. Both argue that this may be an excellent advertisement to the establishment. To the contrary, Ryo accepts, but not without first making a pilgrimage in the mountains. Robert and Yuri rush past an enraged Ryo, both rejecting the proposal.

Back in the dormitory, the three Chinese remember how the Art of Fighting Team is funny. Tung remarks that the grilled meat will stand for a next opportunity, under revolt of Shun'ei and Meitenkun. Tung then feels someone coming. Shun'ei finds grace, and this one approaches, frightening him. Leona Heidern, a young soldier who has a dangerous blood in her veins, talks to the young man. She says the two look alike, but the difference between them is that he doesn't trust his friends, and must have someone around to counter the revolt of his power. After this interaction, Leona leaves, and Shun'ei asks who she is. Tung tells her pupil that the girl has had a more difficult past than his, because she suffers from the same influence as Iori. Both enter the dormitory, and Meitenkun becomes angry, saying that only he understands Shun-chan.

Ramon tells her that for the children Angel is already a hero, and asks to respond to the incentives, to which she responds that if she wins, she asks the children to stop calling her an "angel of justice", for that is much tacky.

After this, Ramon quarrels with Angel, saying that this is not something to say to the children. She replies that she became so intoxicated with the wrestler's speech that she overcame herself. In this, the word "traitors" echoes in his head, causing Ramon and Dinosaur to be frightened. Angel says it's nothing.

NESTS Remaining Secret Base, in an unknown desert location. The cover of Igniz's clothing, which the cartel recovered from the bottom of the ocean, is encapsulated. The members make conjectures about the cover, confirming the influence of their former master on the current tournament, and also on the slit that hangs on the main stage. They also comment on the cartel's traitors (the K' Team, Angel and Sylvie), saying that the chips implanted in it still work, and will use them to the maximum. They start the new phase of the program 70599, which will occur during the next fight, especially the photo of Angel.

 * ROUND 14 - 1 ~ IKARI TEAM VS. MEXICO TEAM~ (Released February 11, 2019)

A new fight is announced. The first team appears in an aircraft. The Ikari Warriors is the first to be announced. In his dormitory, Shun'ei watches on TV, wondering how Leona fights.

The other team, Mexico Team, appears jumping in the arena. Angel throw away his wings, relying on the unconditional support of the fans. The nymph says she'll do everything right during the fight.

At that moment, a robotic mosquito appears. A work of the remnants of NESTS to spy on their traitors. The group leader checks if everything is ready, and gives the signal, asking if the traitor is taking advantage of heroine's fame.

The first round is announced: the Silent Soldier Leona vs. Angel of Justice. Ramon and Dinosaur asked for this title to be announced. Angel tells herself that "the two annoying will pay her for spreading a title she doesn't like around the world". The fight begins.

Leona goes with everything up to Angel, throwing her hands and causing an explosion. The crowd revolts, saying it's cheating, and Ralf and Clark says there was nothing in the rules about "banning explosive gloves." Leona says she has no intention of honestly facing a modified human, and throws another explosion. Angel leaves unharmed.

When Leona tries to make another explosion, Angel holds her hand tight, saying that she hates one sided fights and that she was holding back in order to entertain the audience, but that she's starting to get bored so it's her turn to counterattack.


 * ROUND 14 - 2 ~IKARI TEAM VS. MEXICO TEAM~ (Released February 25, 2019)

Angel launches a series of attacks in Leona, which tries to retaliate, without success. The crowd of fans are going crazy, and Colonel Ralf shows concern.

Ramon thinks that although the former NESTS is modified, it does not need to rely on special techniques because it relies on strength, reflexes and physical abilities very well.

As Angel strikes his last blow, the robotic mosquito activates an antenna under the orders of a remnant of NESTS. She falls to the floor, surprising everyone. When she rises, a star is visible in her eyes. It's the symbol of NESTS. The cartel member begins operation 70599, controlling Angel.

 * ROUND 15 - 1 ~IKARI TEAM VS. MEXICO TEAM~ (Released March 11, 2019)

As the evil remnants of NESTS controlling Angel to kill Leona, only the fellow Mexican and Ikari Warriors Team members, including Angel’s fan-children, noticed her brainwashed state.

The spectating Ikari Warriors and Mexican Team members are informed that evil NESTS remnants’s mind control device is nearby outside the arena, and spread out to find the evil NESTS’ device to save both Leona and Angel from their critical situations.

When Leona is upper-handed by the brainwashed Angel, the Wei Kamu phenomenal began to haywire her cursed Orochi blood into Orochi Leona, as part of the evil NESTS remnants’ plan to achieve another Orochi-based data since Iori, by using Angel as a human sacrifice to absorb the power.

Thankfully, Ralf manage to snap Leona back to her sense on time, and allowing her to fully control her Riot of the Blood form once more.


 * ROUND 15 - 2 ~IKARI TEAM VS. MEXICO TEAM~ (Released March 25, 2019)

As the bout resumes, the evil NESTS remnants keep monitoring the fight and mention that Angel's power its decreasing while Leona keeps getting stronger as the fight progresses. One of the NESTS members mentions that Leona seems to be absorbing the energy in Angel's blood but other member tells him not to worry, that the main priority is to draw more power from Leona and that Angel is disposable and will become a human sacrifice (Angel hears all of this).

A full-powered clash between the two fighters causes a disastrous quake across the staging arena. As the Mexican children are about to be crashed by a falling metal balcony caused by her and Leona’s powerful clash, Angel manages to temporarily break free from NESTS’ mind control and goes to save them while calling out the NEST remnants by telling them she heard them and asking them "who's disposable?" This gives both the Ikari Warriors and Mexican Team enough time to find the mind control device and destroy it quickly before Angel looses her mind again. After discovering the device's location at bay’s pole nearby the jets, Leona destroys it using her earring grenade.

Despite their failure, the evil NESTS remnants got all the first data needed before continuing their next plan on the next matches with using one of another NESTS’ surviving subjected agents within the tournament, just as the phenomenal crack closes.

Due to Angel’s exhaustion caused by evil NESTS remnants’ mind control device on her, it may signals her match lost, much to Leona’s confusion when she noticed her sleeping.

The Antonov-girl hurries to announce Dinosaur as winner. But the fighter confesses his real identity, which the audience already knew. The audience weeps wondering why Tizoc turned into a dinosaur.

Heidern Fleet, post-fight. The winner team, Ikari Warriors Team, receives the visit of another team, the Psycho Soldier. Soldiers have a new strategy: try to decimate what's left of NESTS. And for that, they called the team led by pop star Athena Asamiya.

The military team asks Athena to analyze the wreckage of the mental control device that acted during the fight between Leona and Angel, in order to find the base of the remnants of the cartel.

Athena uses her psychic powers, and discovers the location of the base. Ralf asks the team to teleport there to watch them unnoticed by the team. Leona, Ralf and Clark will be at the base in order to control the remaining information and control the reinforcements and, above all, to watch over the former Mexican employee of NESTS, who is undergoing recovery.

The psychic team withdraws. Clark asks Ralf about the possibility of Athena, Kensou and Chin being controlled by the cartel, and the Colonel says there is no cause for concern.

Meanwhile, a camera points to the meeting room. And a wire connects it to a cyborg, which gathers as much information as possible from that meeting. The cyborg, along with his angry friend fire controller and a child licking ice popsicle, have already been part of the same cartel, as they have suffered painful experiences. And now K', Kula and Maxima want revenge on NESTS.


 * ROUND 18 - 2 ~STRATEGY~ (Released June 24, 2019)

After spying and collecting data, K' asks Maxima what he got. The cyborg says the mercenaries want to wipe out the survivors of NESTS, the cartel that turned the team into modified humans, and for that, asked the Psycho Soldier Team to track down the base.

The team then decides to fight to attract the attention of the survivors of the cartel, so that the mercenaries of Heidern act. Kula asks Maxima about the possibility of being used, as Angel was during the fight with Leona. He responds that he has accessed the remnants database and will use a card up its sleeve before the fight.

Meanwhile, in the waiting room, the South America Team leader, Nelson, puts the finishing touches on his prosthetic arm with the help of his physiotherapist. The boxer thought that, with the loss of his left arm, his career was over. But he says that with his new prosthesis he can now play a place in the KOF.

He thanks his doctor, hired by a new unknown sponsor. The doctor says that his philosophy is "to contribute socially" and thanks for using his technology for this. Nelson gains confidence and goes to meet his teammates, Zarina and Bandeiras Hattori.

Bandeiras wants his ninjutsu to be known all over the world, and Zarina wants to help his toucan escape extinction. Nelson says the motives that brought them to KOF are different, but the goal is one: victory.

The doctor, who sees everything from a distance, whispers, malevolent, that there will be a future of glory for Nelson. And everything is clear: the physcotherapist was hired by NESTS and the prosthetic arm is the work of the criminal cartel.

Kula has doubts about that, and Maxima says he wants to attract the attention of the criminal cartel survivors to the fight, so that the Ikari Warriors Team mercenaries will be on time. K' tells the child manipulator of ice not to call if losing or winning the fight, just let it flow.On the other side of the ring, the opposing team gives a war cry, under Kula's watchful eye.

 * ROUND 20 -1 ~K' TEAM VS. SOUTH AMERICA TEAM~ (Released August 26, 2019)

Under the watch of the Ikari Squad, Nelson's mechanical arm takes on a monstrous shape. The squad intends that NESTS is behind this. Meanwhile, at the secret NESTS base, the Psycho Soldier Team was discovered by the survivors.

Ready to fight, Master Chin asks his disciples to leave, as they must find their way out of the base, and also that they need to know something strange that is taking place during the fight. Athena and Kensou go, promising a bottle of sake to the old master.

One of the soldiers sneers, saying that the two young men are ungrateful to leave an elderly gentleman alone like this. But Chin, unshakably, takes a sip from his bottle and says he has a well-known strength. Soldiers, on the other hand, question how long it will take, as it has data from all the fighters who have ever fought.

In the tense match, Nelson is controlled by NESTS through his eyes, as is Angel. K' notices and deflects an orchestrated blow by the possessed arm. K' sees it's not a weapon, either organic. He unleashes the first blast of fire at his opponent. The arm breaks, but soon regenerates. The physiotherapist explains that the arm is made of special nanomachines that regenerate and absorb the energy of any attack to increase its power. Nelson, with his larger arm with each blow K 'strikes, attacks. The modified human attacks with everything, and the arm takes on a monstrous shape, to the delight of the physiotherapist.

In his dorm room, Shun'ei analyzes Nelson's fight and the arm. The young Chinese questions whether his gen'ei is not yet stabilized or is a mere impression. Outside Antonov's arena, Nakoruru wonders if the evil power that made her go into the 21st century has moved.

The crash opens, and bigger than before, a perfect opportunity for NESTS survivors to extract data. Kula and Maxima perceive her, and Nelson, like the cartel's puppet, shoots the child. The shot hits the girl's head with a mind control crown. Maxima tries to take it off, but is frozen. In the cartel, the soldiers cheer at the possible resurrection of their former master, Igniz. At the height of the fight, a controlled Kula addresses K', saying she hates flames and heat. K 'realizes and questions what the cartel survivors did.

At NESTS headquarters, Chin attacks the cartel survivors. At a glance, the old gentleman throws an alcoholic blast of fire, which paralyzes them, but Chin notices something wrong.

Athena and Kensou look for the cartel exit, and come across a door. Kensou blows it to the ground, and both face another NESTS survivor. Both ask what the purpose of everything is, and the survivor questions about the mass creation of 9999 Kyo's clones.

Athena replies that they were contained or eliminated by the Ikari squad. The survivor says the data for clone creation was in pieces and was restored. At the same time, he reveals his identity, as well as that of the other survivors: they are all new Kyo clones, redone for Igniz's resurrection.

Athena and Kensou are still astonished at the recent revelations. Kyo's clone recites a few words over and over, as if summoning someone. And suddenly a girl in flashy dress appears: Sylvie Paula Paula.

The psychic soldiers are surprised, and the cloned soldier reveals that Sylvie was once a NESTS experiment. Only useless for the cartel. But he also reveals that he is controlling her with brainwashing, and orders him to defeat Athena and Kensou.

Suddenly, Sylvie, pointing to Athena and calling her paisen (informal form of "senpai"), has memories of her past. In it, the girl discarded by the cartel doesn't remember what happened to her before she was changed. She wandered the streets when she suddenly saw a light. This light showed Athena singing in a broadcast show. Sylvie was delighted and decided: she wanted to be with the Japanese singer.

Sylvie cries before Athena. The clone remains impassive, saying that the disposal of NESTS needs no heart, and orders her to fight. The girl launches her electromagnetic force at both of them. In this, she involves Kensou, who is saved by Athena. The two try to attack her. Sylvie asks Athena why she shines so brightly, and if she can be an idol too. The clone is still bothered by his puppet's self-awareness.

Sylvie attacks again, throwing them both away. The clone questions and scoffs at his puppet, telling her that free will hasn't been granted, and calling it a defective product. Sylvie wonders why she can't have dreams. The remainder of NESTS wants brainwashing to be complete for better performance. Athena rages, and unleashes her powers hard, scaring Kensou.

All the clones come together and one of them attacks the psychic soldier with a blast of fire. The clones speak as if they were a single person, saying that one hit would kill their opponents and ask them both to die so as not to cause further losses.

Backed down and with little strength left, Athena and Kensou call for reinforcements. Suddenly, a person already known appears, and Athena notices a trail of fire going towards the clones, that throws them away.
