“Who ever designed him is a genius”
-Masahiro sakurai
I bet Sakurai loves Sasuke
Facts!!!!!
Iori is my favorite character ever!
Even thinking in naming my 1st son Iori.
Luckily I have a daughter so she got lucky
He's got every option you could ever want.he might not have kills guard points but he's literally got every single fighting game option.
@@Synnerster it can be used as a girl's name
@@taylorbee4010 really? Didn't know that!
Kyo: *10,000 miles away*
Iori: i can smell you
Iori: Ugh Smells like A$$ this is why he must Die
Kyo: *breathes*
Iori: He is to dangerous to be kept alive!
Kyo : *breath*
Iori : *Bitch how dare you still live?*
Oh shit what’s wrong with them 😂😂😂?
Hilarious 😂
UwU ---OwO iori just really hates the boi.
😂😂
Boy finally a KOF channel in English 😢😢😢😢
barely jk
I wouldn't be so sure. I need subtitles to understand what he's saying a lot of times.
@MERTIMER WESLEY English is not his mother tongue so he is doing his best .
Ikr. I can now die in peace
😂
Iori is such a throwback probably among the best fighting game characters ever. I remember being absolutely being obsessed.
The voice, the design, the character is amazing.
The Background, the Bckhistory, the Attitude, the fact he's actually often meta to compite and stuff
Sounds like you have a crush
One of the best character designs ever
The designers would change slightly anything but the hair.
@@southglare_axe7397 nigga have you ever played kof
@@awadsab_ K9999 , Rugal , Iori , Yashiro
those are the best designed character by far and also the best .
@@awadsab_ melons
@@awadsab_ Mai? Ok i know why are u mean :/
By the end of the day, Iori is still a caring warm hearted person..
...Until you get between him & fighting Kyo. :3
Why are people still allowed to hold King of Fighters tournaments when literally every tournament organizer is a super villain?!
Good question.
Marche chuzuru
The guy from xv
@@omiorahman6283 Chizuru's tournament ended with a super villain crashing the part and killing/injuring thousands with his tornado powers and XIV's ended with a multidimensional being invading at the last second.
@@marche800 tournament organiser does not always mean final boss
@@omiorahman6283 My point is that basically none of these tournaments go on without something world threatening or evil happening.
Iori:*usally calm*
Kyo:*shows up
Iori:A M E G E R Y
Have you seen his interview on the KoF XV website?
@@andyblanton6570 my man iori told the interviewer to get lost and asked if he had a death wish lmao
Iori is and always will be, the coolest character in video games for me.
For me that's Dante
Ey what about me
@@ericcartman735 shine!
Iori Yagami NOPE!! *counters his flame*
Iori and Terry
Damn, as a kid I had no idea how in depth the KOF story was. I just put quarters in and mash buttons while doing hadoken and dragon punch motions.
Same here
As a young boy, I thought he's justa crazy dude
And SF story was sh*t
Omaygad same-
@@projektgeronimo2696 "that crazy redhead" we used to say lol 😅
Among Iori's abilities we should notice his ability to not trip even tough he was his legs tied with each other.
Now that you mentioned it, that must be his strongest ability!
He's truly a brutal sadist, giving cow's milk to a cat.
Lol that Charlie pic tho
Kof awaken 🖕🏼
This comment made my day, tysm!
Vice: *Am i a joke to you?*
I see Iori... I click.. Or anything thats KOF related
same
Me 2
God rugal
Me2
I understand you bro
Kyu: *exists*
Iori: REEEEEEEEE
u mean Kyo
You sound like an anti Trump liberal when you scream "REEEE"
I didnt know that iori plays bass but god damn that makes me liking him even more
The only part that was left out is when Orochi came. All the KOF teams attacked Orochi but he held his own. Chizuru, Iori and Kyo were the last three to put him away.
Did that really happen?
@@King-om3cg no
A character more popular and celebrated then kyo... Btw i like him more than kyo
That's what the saxophone does to you... Hhmmmhmmmhahaha hahahahahahahahaha
Iori is the best and coolest character in fighting games,With his yasakani flame he can burn anyone.
I like him too, hes been a curiosity to me. Interesting character. My second fav is one of the new characters. Kukri. I mean just listening his taunts is so funny im stanning him 😂😂
And he always has the best theme song arashi no saxophone
He s still beast without flames
@@pinelemontr yeah i dont forgot iori from xlll
Yet Kyo,Yuri,Terry, and Mai also have flames
Best story in a fighting game. EVER! I got lost after kof 2003 though. I didn’t care for Ash.
Cory Wells this and mk has the longest storyline in fighting games but kof has the most
You just skipped imo the BEST arc 'till date though
@@VixXstazosJOB Meh. Ash Saga sucks. The Orochi Arc is still the best one. NESTS was a bit ridiculous but it was fun. The latest arc seems to be the gayest, though. Verse seems like a cheap way to bring some dead characters back.
I'm partial to Guilty Gear.
@@KhukuriGod The Ending made ASH saga to Rock - no pun intended -
Yagami clan: we want to become stronger
Orochi: you're mother will die at birth and you'll have a short lifespan.
Yagami clan: I don't know if we want to....
Orochi: your flames will be purple
Yagami clan: where do we sign
Iori can't still beat/defeat kyo true story
😂😂
@@vincentgumayagay999 not really. I think it will be a draw always canonically
@@BucketHead475 why is it always draw? Isnt Iori stronger than Kyo? I mean, his fricking bloodline got a curse in exchange of power. He should be stronger bruh.
@@aatroxtheworldender933 well he isint
This really helped me understanding Iori better i first thought that he was just a rival of the main protagonist and a rude guy but this helped me to understand him better and it made him more likeable for me. When i heard his theme song in KOF all stars i could't believe he was a true bad guy this video helped a lot
KOF really made sure this guy was badass and still kicking ass.
So iori life is on repeat. Kyo enters, people ask him to enter for revenge. And he does it for about 4 times lmao. Except the ending. LoL
in 99 he didn't , for story reasons he was suppose to be retired for the whole nest saga but they chose not to since he's one of the most popular character in the franchise.
i would love to see K' and Iori's relationship since both hate kyo. and in the 2000 intro you could see both K' and iori kinda smiling back at each other for a moment before kyo's silhouette shows up and turning K's smile to visible anger.
@@maosama3695 more like Iori gonna lash at K' like "don't get in my way, Kusanagi is mine!" And K' goes "yeah this ain't working. Gonna go home. Im sleepy, bye"
@@maosama3695 also k' did not look angry at kyo imo. He looked more insecure and sad than anything.
you know what's the best thing about Iori, he'll never give up on Kyo in music competition
Kyo plays music? I had no idea. What instruments?
Tbh,iori needs to be the next kof protagonist in the future.
they should make his son the next protagonist or something. like geese howard's son became the protagonist for Fatal Fury.
Absolutely brilliant summary. This is by far the most concise and sensible version of Iori's backstory I have come across, it does a great job breaking down the extremely complex and confusing series into its most significant events and looking into the origin of this unique character.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Iori: ‘I hate violence’
Proceeds in participating in 15 unregulated hands fighting tournaments
Iori looks like a tsundere whenever he's in a cutscene with Kyo
He's indeed a tsundere
Agreed
@@ericcartman735 Iori and Kyo are more rivals than enemies, they want to surpass each other, not murder each other. It's just a less friendly rivalry than Ryo and Robert's.
Yuri kof all stars
@@mamme8381 no he is not.Tsundere love someone secretly.Iori dont love Kyo bruh.
I didn't know Iori was this popular. He has more views then Kyo
In Latin America it's even crazier. He outperforms Kyo and Terry even combined.
@@scissorman44 I believe it.
Most viewed video of this channel even.
Noobs be like "Isn't it a Mobile Legends character?"
more like retarded people
Ryu's Bubbles ikr
more like a mlbb skin
I used to play kof i was really happy they were gonna do a crossover on mlbb
I agree with u
both Vice and Mature take Iori's request to be his servant very seriously... they still serve him after they died..
Iori will always be my number 2 behind Terry. I still see Terry as the untouchable hero who could win every tournament if he felt like it.
Mi favorites
1 Iori
2 Terry
3 Yashiro
4 K'
Wait...Mature and Vice might actually be alive since kof 14. And it looks like they no longer want any part from the hakkeshu since they didn't participate the King of fighter 15 edition. If that Theory is right they might know things about Verse Re-Verse and Otoma-Raga that allowed em To get back to Life by themselves.
It"s a possibility.
True. They are not gone when despite they are ghosts they can just materialise themselves at will. It is likely they are just tired of the reviving Orochi thing and since Iori has a team this time they just decided to chill.
Instant subscribe just because you're covering KOF
Kof has been my favorite game since youth and until now i play it .I love it so much.Iori one of the best fighters of this game. interesting
Iori my absolute favorite character of all time✨
You know I really wish where we could get a story that explores Iori's calm side, because if your not Kyo Iori seems like a pretty chill guy.
Its so sad that
"Iori is a lone wolf"
oh sup josuke
OI JOSUKEEE!
You have no idea how much i am enjoying these videos !!! Thanks man
I wish someone makes an anime of kof whole story it would go so lit!💥
They already did,
it was meh.
What's the title?
Interesting guy. Kind of selfish but not a bad person and he's got a monster bloodlust that he doesn't want. That is kewl.
I've been binging you KOF lore videos.
They are amazing.
So well told, so well edited. Amazing structure. I will see more.
Iori is my favorite fire user character. He doesn't have a large number of moves though, but he is still a strong character.
That's because he's able to link combos easily from his normals.
I see your video nonstop. Because this is about iori. Thank you so much for making us understand his backstory. I pray that snk make an anime based on iori and kyo. Again thanks for the video and effort.
What to say....
KOF was like my obsession when I was a child..... Then got Busy in Life after that..... Well, one thing KOF was really obscure to me.. I mean the story line till this day things were not clear..... Until I watched your videos.... Your way is Great..... Explaining everything..... Properly.... KEEP IT UP👍
I'm still trying to figure out why he isn't wanted for murdering Vice and Mature in broad daylight at a fighting tournament that has worldwide coverage.
The power of plot armor
Guess it was because it was obvious something happened to him I mean he suddenly yells then goes crazy, guess they thought either 3 things 1.this guys crazy he just killed his teammates 2.somethings wrong with him or 3.they just didn't care
3:35 Never understood that '95 ending though... "Hey! You're... you're Geese!"
"Hey! You're... you're (as strong as) Geese!"
It was a translation error. Billy probably meant that Iori was one of Geese's men (or so he thought).
Or prolly Geese was there from a distance, just off-screen
That laugh…
I miss the 2D Graphics KOF hope they make the designs just like Arc SYs
Well I believe Iori is the most popular character in KOF not one of but actually the most popular and also the most coolest character in KOF
Iori is the coolest gaming character of all. He was, is and will always be my hero.
These are great! Thank you for the content and can't wait for you to do one on K' Dash!
well done bro, that was great, hope to see more episodes for each character including KULA ANGEL KIM SHENGO. ans so and so.....
@@ShoryuGame hooray! I'm reeaaaaaly a KoF fan.
The most VIEWED video of this channel
This is my favorite character
This is so amazing I grew up on this game at the local arcade or game shop as we say in RSA, so incredible I love it!!!!
Nice video!! Anything about kof is in my interest. It's one of my favorite fighters of all time I have almost every game except 02 unlimited match.
Dude. I love this video so much. Iori has always been a favorite of mine. It's great to know some of his history in video form!
This is awesome! Please make more. We need more KOF history videos!
Heh, funny you mention Genjuro, he killed Iori in SVC Chaos (read the comics, he freakin murdered the shit out of him).. also, he kinda does care about Kyo and to Kyo, he sees Iori as an older brother who just wants to show his dominance..
Oh? Really? Where did u read tht? Ive been only reading the character facts in the kof wikia. If tht is true then i like iori even more 😂😂 like in a way a fan i mean
I always hoped they had some sort of grudging respect, at least, even with their family history lol.
@@anavia5074 as my post states in SVC Chaos the comic..
@@RexcorJ I don't really think they're family.. after Genjuro killed him, Iori revived and was immediately met by Tsuki no Yoru Orochi no Chi ni Kurufu Iori( a clone created by M.Bison) and Tsuki no Yoru Orochi no Chi ni Kurufu Iori killed him immediately.. if you read the comics, not sure if it states this in the games booklet, you get 3 lives and there's only one way to get into the "parallel world tournament", you have to die in the real world.. I can't say Ioris third death cause I only made it to the 5th book and there's a total of 8.. 6, 7 and 8 are running some insane prices on Amazon and ebay.. i should see if i can read it online somewhere.. but one thing, Genjuro sliced one arm off iori and eventually diced him into a million pieces.. Tsuki no Yoru Orochi no Chi ni Kurufu Iori grabbed Ioris neck and ripped his head off..
I read that comic. It's a Hong Kong made one right? No sure if its canon or not, but it's pretty good. Most Hong Kong comic have their own liberties to change the story a bit. Some went too far. A Hong Kong Street Fighter comic had Gill kidnap M.Bison put him into torture, which includes getting molested by two men. Haha, yeah that comic series is way weird.
The king of fighters still the best game in the world in my opinion
same!! and I am girl :D
kof is very underrated now compared to other fighting games
The lore is fire
I love these kof lore videos. Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Another great video. Well done. Please continue making spectacular content!!👌🏾👍🏾
My favorite King of fighters character and even Smash bros Sakurai even love using him.
Favorite video game character PERIOD. Had to subscribe.
Really great channel! loveeee your content please continue making more!
Very nice again, I hope you get more subscribers, I know all KOf stories but is interesthing to watch, you put much work just great job
Best Character of KOF
It always bothers me that he had a strap that literally tied his legs together in his classic outfit.
"How the hell can he do his Hk with that!" is something i always wondered ever since i noticed that when playing KoF games
Yea lol
Thats why it makes him a unique char
It's stretchy 😏
It doesn't seem to slow him down though, maybe it has always been cosmetic ¿)
just found your channel kof is my favorite fighting game...i suck at them terribly but i just love the characters. im glad youre covering the lore behind the stories.
I'm glad you did.
Love these KOF videos.
it's a good lore! thanks
During the NESTS saga he was also on the look to find Kyo when he was captured by NESTS. He wanted to rescue him by thinking that he should be the one who defeats Kyo and no one else! That's why he accepted the invitation to join the KOF in 2001 so that he destroys the fake Kyos and NESTS. His acts are based on anger, jealousy and selfishness. Good job on the videos! You can also use some of the destiny anime scenes and stills from mangas!
Maybe nests should have cloned and captured iori instead
@@Lupo32 Cloned Iori without his edgy personality? I think I will paas.
@M.J. Andromeda
Then how do you explain k9999 ?
@M.J. Andromeda
That's why most people like the orochi saga and somewhat rugal saga
Thanks for this. I never took the time to explore the different endings of every KOF game so there's quite a few things that helps connect the dots here.
Brilliant video. Cant wait for a Kyo video. I wish Netflix or someone makes a high quality TV show on the kof story especially the orochi saga
Iori is my favorite character amongst all the fighting game characters.
I really like to see Iori’s band
Yes. Kof lore! Finally. Please continue this work.
huge work - thanks!
Thank you too!
Great content! From your accent I can tell you're from Morocco
Kof Fanss: I Loveeeee IORIIIIII
ML Kids:OMGGGGGGGGG ITZZ CHOUUU!!!
LMAO I'M HERE BECAUSE OF CHOU'S SKIN HE LOOKS SOO DAMN HOT LMAO I LOVE IORIIII
Keep making more of these good sir
Nice work mate
This game is so underrated
Iori used to have a women that loved him... i believe the story is from those audio media stories SNK used to made back then with the original voice actors from the games and they are "canonical".... I believe the girl dies and Iori sings about her. Maybe he kept her at distance because the curse of the Yagami clan, or maybe her imminent dead is something he just didn't want as her final memory. Any way I think those audios could help you do some more videos.
great video
Great content! Watched your orochi video too.
Best arcade version=98(best moveset,new moves, classic 96 team)
Best 2d version=xiii(no flames=something refreshing)
Nonsense=xiv(no moon behind the red jacket)
lol that's Blasphemy to miss the moon XD
Best arcade version is 2K2. For the exact same reasons you yourself stated.
Red jacket looks cool i think
Xiii is best for me 2 :) also i can play flame iori :) claw iori is good and fast, his bloody effects are badass :)
I cannot play 97 98 bcuz im noob :D
I see Iori instant like and play. Do Sei Kensou next his story line is awesome too
I love your vids Im KOF fan for so long and im still a fan
Nadi a bro🔥
Iori is badass character I love him i play all kof games with him he has combo like hell so if u don't like him u suck
This means Iori will be forever single with a good reason.
what do you mean, Kyo is right there bro
Awesome!
great video love it
Thanks!
No one
Normie ML players:
*OMG CHOU!!*
Wow. Iori was always my favourite, but now I actually find him much more interesting as a character, knowing more about his history .
I always thought he was just a villain because of his bad attitude, sadistic tendencies, killing intent and his hatred for Kyo, arguably the protagonist of the series.
But he does have a surprising amount of depth to him and he's actually more of a hero than a villain, even if he doesn't realize or admit it, which I find both cool and amusing. Haha. XD
I would like to actually see more of him, and I'd like to know more about why he hates Kyo so much. Like... what'd he do? I don't personally like Kyo too much either, to be honest, but... why the constant death threats? And why does he always seem to lose or tie with Kyo? In my opinion, Iori is either an equal or a superior fighter.
people who love to play bass guitar isn't a bad person, and so does Iori
Really nice videos! I’ve binge watched all your KOF lore videos. Any chance you will be covering the Maximum Impact stories? Yes, I know they’re non-canon but they had really interesting characters as well.
