"Show me the potential people have."
- The King of Fighters XI

Magaki (禍忌マガキ Magaki, lit. meaning "Apocalypse") is a character from The King of Fighters series. He debut in The King of Fighters XI as the main antagonist and a member of Those from the Past. Like the enigmatic Mukai, nothing is known about him, save for the fact that he hosts The King of Fighters tournament, and knows Mukai.

He is voiced by Koji 'Spicy' Yagi.

Development[]

He was designed as a character to "disgust and disturb fans with his movements", giving more character to the group Those from the Past. He is meant to be an irredeemable and hated character.

Personality[]

He seems to have little respect for Mukai as he mockingly imitates his pious manner of speech, and seems to look down on his caution toward humans. He shows even less respect for humans in general, believing them to have little-to-no potential and overall weak. He seems to expect all of his whims fulfilled and has little patience for those that don't comply. He respects strength, is a wholehearted advocate of "survival of the fittest", and will only work along with those capable of meeting his standards.

Powers[]

  • Sense - Magaki can sense people nearby.
  • Transformation - Magaki can transform from his normal human form into his awakened form and vice-versa.
  • Energy Projectile - Magaki can create a variety of energy projectiles.
  • Energy Shield - Magaki can create several small explosions of energy in front of him that acts as a shield and as a reflector.
  • Translocation - Magaki can move to somewhere nearby almost instantly.
  • Teleportation - Magaki has an extremely powerful control of teleportation.
  • Teleporting Projectile - Magaki can fire a projectile of energy that teleports itself.
  • Create Portal - Magaki can open a portal to an energy-filled dimension.
  • Explosion - Magaki can create a small explosion of purple fire.
  • Invisibility - Magaki can become nigh-invisible.
  • Energy Field - Magaki can fill the area around him with energy.

Fighting Style[]

Magaki's fighting style seems to revolve around filling the screen with his energy attacks. He can fill the arena with teleporting energy balls, portals through which he can grab the opponent, or his LDM, which is a massive flow of energy that literally covers the screen. When fighting hand-to-hand, Magaki takes advantage of his long limbs to fool the enemy. All of this renders Magaki a victim of a very severe case of "SNK Boss Syndrome", and is perhaps the cheapest boss in any SNK fighting game. It has even been joked that he is a boss who turns a fighting game into a bullet hell game.

Trivia[]

  • In both The King of Fighters XI game and the The King of Fighters XII manhua, Magaki meets his end by being impaled through the chest by Shion's spear, but why he's killed differs: in the former, Shion kills him for being sealed in another dimension, while in the latter, Magaki is executed for his second attempt to fulfil Those from the Past's agenda going down in flames.
