Biography[]
The King of Fighters XIV[]
Verse is a mysterious being whose existence came as a result of the time paradox caused by Ash Crimson on the previous King of Fighters tournament.
He is an amalgamation of lost souls, whose evil presence can be felt across time and space. His powers are tied to those of Shun'Ei, such that they resonate when close to each other. According to Geese Howard, his existence was detailed on the Jin Scrolls.
It first appears in the past, being seen by Nakoruru as it absorbs dark energy and the souls of deceased villains so that it can begin to destroy everything. For some, currently, unknown reason, a portion of Verse's power is sealed within Shun'ei.
Verse manifests itself at the end of the tournament, destroying the coliseum where the final battle with the host Antonov took place. Verse's power would begin to resonate with the fragment of power within Shun'ei, causing it to attack him and his team.
After he is defeated, he explodes, however, upon his defeat and body being destroyed, all of the souls that Verse absorbed would be released and would revive many of the series' villains such as Shermie, Chris, Yashiro Nanakase, Ash Crimson, Orochi, Rugal Bernstein and Goenitz as well as reviving Dolores.
Later in Verse's arcade ending, the largest portion of its body is seen landing in Ayres Rock in Australia, hinting that he continues to live.
The King of Fighters XV[]
Re Verse, an alternative and female version of Verse in The King of Fighters XV, with it being firmly revealed that his abilities are related to that of the "Amplified Specters" like Shun'ei and Isla, with it being revealed that it collects souls under the command of its master, Otoma=Raga, so it can destroy the world. Upon her revival, Delores seeks to use Isla and Shun'ei to help make the beast appear in order to banish it back to his home world, something the former takes issue with due to personal jealousy over Shun'ei's happy childhood.
Re Verse firmly appears at the end of the tournament, causing a power surge within Isla before emerging from within her spiritual hands, affectionately nicknamed "Amanda" by her. Now unleashed once again in a form similar to that of Isla, the monster proceeds to teleport the winning team to an alternate dimension to fight them. Upon their defeat, Re Verse proceeds to explode (assumingly being exiled back to its home) before Otoma=Raga emerges from a portal to fight the protagonists for unknown reasons. Upon her defeat, the heroes are then returned home, seemingly only minutes after they were spirited away.
