Shion (HĆ”nzi: ē“«č‹‘ļ¼ˆć‚·ć‚Ŗćƒ³ļ¼‰; Pinyin: ZĒyuĆ n) is a character who first appeared as the sub boss in the penultimate stage of Arcade Mode in The King of Fighters XI.

He is voiced by Tokiyo Ogawa.

Development[]

He was conceptually designed to be one of Ron's daughters though developers decided to change his gender to startle and appeal to fans with his androgynous appearance. His gender was revealed to fans in his official back story, which states (and corrects itself) on his masculinity.

Personality[]

Shion shares Mukai's ideology that humans should not be underestimated and they have tremendous potential. He appears to be loyal to the plans established by Those from the Past clan, he is confident of his abilities and of being able to achieve his goals as when he claimed to be able to awaken Orochi even if that meant doing it on his own. Shion shares an uneasy relationship with Magaki and they seem to distrust each other.

He doesn't take treachery kindly, having killed Magaki due to unwillingly sealing him in another dimension.

Powers[]

  • Wushu - Shion's main fighting style, this graceful yet potent movements give him an edge in battle, whether in a fight or in an exhibition.
  • Weapon Mastery - Shion is an expert in multiple weapons including the Meteor Hammer and archery.
  • Weapon Summon - Shion can summon his weapons to him at anytime.
  • Featherless Arrow ļ¼ˆę— ē¾½ē®­ļ¼‰- Shion can throw the featherless arrow with enough power that can strike the opponent down.
  • Multiple Attacks - Shion can deliver several punches at almost the same time.

Skills[]

  • Cooking - Shion is stated to be knowledgeable in cooking, primarily with Chinese food.

Fighting Style[]

Shion uses traditional Wushu. As a result, he is able to make use of multiple stances, though akin to many boss characters he lacks a standard crouching animation.

Normally, Shion starts out with his spear, though it'll always disappear in a flash of lightning should he get hit while wielding it, forcing him to fight unarmed until he draws it out again.
