![]() ![]() Upon his revival, he continues using his powers that are from the borrowed Orochi blood, but he is still just as susceptible, despite his growing mastery of his own powers. However, he can only use a fraction of the Orochi power, lest he is consumed and destroyed by it, as it happened in 95. ![]() Since gaining Orochi power, he has expanded his abilities to lethal heights. Most of his powers are from his physical strength and his ability to imitate other attacks. This trait even carries over to Metal Slug Defense, where upon his defeat, he'll get back up, pull out a detonator and blow himself up. While this first appears in KOF '94, it happens again in KOF '98 and KOF 2002. Refusing to accept defeat at the hands of his enemies, he'll instead trigger the self-destruct mechanism of whatever the base he's in with the intention of taking his opponents down with it, but ends up being the only one caught in the explosion instead. His "godhood" is also a motif for moves like his God Press attack.ĭue to his arrogant nature, Rugal has also been shown to be an incredibly sore loser. It could be said that Rugal possesses the greatest proverbial swagger of all The King of Fighters boss characters. Unlike Igniz, however, he hardly takes his "godhood" seriously. ![]() Much like Igniz, he believes himself to be a human god. Many of his winquotes are snarky insults toward his opponents, and he often sees the act of taking human life to be more of a pastime. Unlike most other KOF villains, Rugal has a sadistic sense of humor about what he does. He will even go so far as to kill people simply to spite others (such as when he slaughtered Heidern's family simply because he found Heidern to be a disappointment). He sees absolutely no value in human life, to the point where he proudly displays the metal-encased corpses of worthy opponents he has killed in battle as trophies. Rugal is a cruel and powerful man who will kill anyone who stands in his way. The developer notes that he was supposed to be "the cheapest bastard ever", but they dropped the idea because they didn’t have enough memory to execute it. Their first idea for Rugal's character was that he could learn any move that he saw just once. He also comments "going a bit overboard" with Genocide Cutter's damage ratio in The King of Fighters '94. Toyohisa Tanabe states that his fighting style was created to emphasize Rugal's strength as the series' first boss character. Like Goenitz and Heidern, his name comes from the anime, Space Battleship Yamato. On their anniversary website, SNK has stated that Rugal was originally based on the concept of the "mightiest and most evil boss character ever". ![]()
