Heidern, a member of this team, along with Benimaru Nikaido, are the only veteran fighters to be in Team Rivals in some later game, due to both being initial characters from the first KOF game, The King of Fighters '94.
This makes the team and KOF XI Team Rivals (Team Elisabeth) the only formations with characters debuting in the first game of the series.
This team appears as the alternative winners of the XV tournament, as Team Rivals.
The heroes of the fifteen entry of the series (Team Shun'ei) are the true winners of the tournament.
This entry indirectly represents members of certain adoptions, whereas Heidern is an adoptive father for Leona, while Dolores is an (assumed) adoptive mother for Kukri. Because of their mentioned status and being good parents themselves, they act as substitute parents of sorts for Isla, an orphan teenager who needs parental tutelages from positive human adults.
