This is the true ending of KOF 97 and the longest. I thought it would take longer due to lots of panels, but it turns out it's really just a lot of talking... with a lot of panels. But this is where all the juice is. They reuse a lot of panels, so it still has taken me the longest. FINALLY a confirmation as to who the Yagami's were before the Orochi pact! Just a note. Chizuru is awesome in this ending.
LEONA: HUH?
WHAT THE?!...
LEONA: WHAT? I CAN'T SEE! OH, MY HEAD!
GOENITZ: MEET YOUR DESTINY, LEONA! CONTROL YOUR
AWAKENING!
THIS IS NO DREAM. NEXT YOU WILL WAKE IN GOOD COMPANY!
AND AT THAT TIME, YOU'LL BECOME ONE OF US! HEH, HEH.
LEONA: WHAT ABOUT NOW?
GOENITZ: THE TIME'S RIGHT! AWAKE! LEONA, FOLLOW YOUR FATE!
ANNOUNCER: CONGRATULATIONS, VICTORS! NOW, ON TO THE NEXT MATCH!
KYO: WHAT THE HECK'S GOING ON NOW?
LEONA: HMPH!
CHIZURU: NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY, YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME.
LEONA: GROWWWWWL!
IORI: OOOOH, MY HEAD.
CHIZURU: THE OROCHI BLOOD... IT REALY HAS THAT POWER?!
KYO: HMMM.
THE OROCHI BLOOD RIOT!
WHAT?!
UNKNOWN: AN INTERESTING PERFORMANCE!
FOR A SIDE SHOW!
KYO: WHO ARE YOU?!
UNKNOWN: DOES 'OROCHI' RING A BELL?
KYO: DID YOU SAY OROCHI...
OROCHI?!
CHIZURU: YOU'RE OROCHI?!
YASHIRO: SURPRISED? IT'S TO BE EXPECTED!
KYO: WHAT ARE YOU SCHEMING?
YASHIRO: US? SCHEMING? YOU'VE DONE IT ALL FOR US.
KYO: US? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YASHIRO: THE OROCHI AWAKENING. IT'S GOENITZ'S SUCCESS!
TO ENERGIZE THE AWAKENING, WE NEEDED YOUR ENERGY.
KYO: OUR ENERGY?
YASHIRO: YOU GOT IT! AND THE PLACE TO INCREASE ENERGY IN SUCH A SHORT TIME WAS OUR JOB! BUT IT WAS SUCH A BREEZE!
SHERMIE: A PLACE WHERE THE MIGHTY CLASH! I THINK YOU GET THE PICTURE.
CHIZURU: HOW DUMB! WE WERE DUPED!
THEY USED KING OF FIGHTERS FOR THEIR VILE PURPOSES!
KYO: WHAT THE?!!!
YASHIRO: YOU FOUGHT FRANTICALLY! AND THANKS TO YOU,
THE OROCHI RECIEVED ENOUGH ENERGY TO AWAKE!
SHERMIE: WE JUST LIVENED THINGS UP. A GREAT IDEA, DON'T YOU THINK?
CHIZURU: GEEZ! I FEEL SO USED! (yes, it was Kyo who said this in all his other endings, and now Chiz is sayin' it)
YASHIRO: AND IT WENT SO EASILY! BUT WE NEED A BIT MORE ENERGY,
NOW, TO AVENGE THE 1800 YEAR OLD INSULT.
YOU, OF COURSE, CAN'T REALIZE WHY THE OROCHI WERE CAST INTO DARKNESS!
CHIZURU: MY ANCESTOR'S POWER! THAT'S WHY!
YASHIRO: DO YOU KNOW HOW, SASSY-PANTS? 1800 YEARS BEFORE,
THE OROCHI TRIED TO DESTROY THE HUMAN PLAGUE. BUT THEY NEEDED THE ENERGY.
TO STORE THE ENERGY, REQUIRED A SACRAFICE YOU KNOW KUSHINADA?
KYO: KUSHINADA?
CHIZURU: THE NAME OF THE GIRL WHO WAS SACRAFICED FOR
THE GREAT YAMATA NO OROCHI! BUT THAT WAS NO MORE THAN A LEGEND...
YASHIRO: GUESS AGAIN. IT WASN'T A GIRL. IT WAS A GROUP OF GIRLS!
CHIZURU: A GROUP OF GIRLS!
YASHIRO: YES! THAT'S THE TRUTH. TO DESTROY HUMANS, THE OROCHI
GATHERED THE 8 KUSHINADA. AND
GATHERED THE 8 KUSHINADA. AND 7 WERE SACRIGICED. BUT, MIRACULOUSLY,
A SINGLE MAIDEN ESCAPED...
CHIAURU: HELPED! BY MY ANCESTORS.
YASHIRO: WELL READ. LACKING THE POWER TO DESTROY THE HUMANS, OROCHI FELL INTO A LONG SLEEP. BUT 1800 YEARS LATER, OROCHI MIRACULOUSLY AROSE.
RESSURECTED! AND EVEN KUSHINADA LIVES NOW!
CHIZURU: IMPOSSIBLE!
YASHIRO: SURPRISED, I SEE. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...
WHO DO YOU THINK IS KUSHINADA? ANY GUESSES, KUSANAGI?
KYO: YOU FILTH. JUST TELL US!
YASHIRO: DESTINY IS A FEARFUL THING! KUSANAGI, YOUR SQUEEZ!
(picture just kinda appears)
SHE IS KUSHINADA!
KYO: YUKI?!!!
YASHIRO: IN TIME I'LL TELL YOU ALL. OUR TRUE PURPOSE: TO ABDUCT KUSHINADA. BUT YOU'RE IN THE WAY!
IORI: YOU SURE TALK A STORM.
KYO: YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT! I'M GONNA DESTROY YOU ALL.
AND DON'T STOP ME, KAGURA!
CHIZURU: GO FOR IT, KYO!
YASHIRO: THAT'S THE SPIRIT! THERE'S NO CHOUCE BUT TO FIGHT.
BUT EVEN IF YOU WIN, A LIVING H$%# AWAITS YOU!
YASHIRO: WELL FOUGHT! WE HAD A BLAST!
BUT, SADLY, IT WAS ALL IN VAIN!
ALL: AH!
SHERMIE: IT WON'T BE LONG!
CHIZURU: NO WAY!
THAT KID?!...
CHRIS: THE TIME IS HERE. THOSE WHO CAN'T HACK IT
ARE HEADED FOR A LONG SLEEP!
CHIZURU: YOU? YOU'RE REALLY THE ONE?
CHRIS: I...AM OROCHI!
YASHIRO: NOW WE FULFILL OROCHI'S WILL!
KYO: DON'T JERK US AROUND!
OROCHI: I AM AWAKE--COMPLETELY! EVEN WITH YOUR POWER,
YOU'RE TOO LATE!
CHIZURU: GUESS AGAIN, JUNIOR.
OROCHI: WATCH YOUR MOUTH. YOU'VE NO PLAN, AND NO BRAIN.
CHIZURU: YOU READ MY MIND!
OROCHI: WHAT LITTLE IS THERE. I KNOW WHAT ALL HUMANS THINK.
NOTHING'S CHANGED IN 1800 YEARS. YOU CAN'T BE SAVED. NOW, ALL RETURNS TO 'NOTHING.'
KYO: LIGHTEN UP, PAL! IT WON'T BE THAT EASY!
KYO: IS THE CREEP...DEAD?
CHIZURU: I WISH HE WERE. WE COULDN'T KILL HIM BEFORE.
CONTAINING... THAT'S ALL WE COULD DO!
OROCHI: THAT'S RIGHT...I'M INVINCIBLE.
CHIZURU: I THOUGHT SO! BUT AFTER THAT ATTACK! HOW?
KYO: HE CAN BARELY STAND. YOU DON'T HAVE THE STUFF.
AND YOUR FOLLOWERS ARE GONE!
OROCHI: AS LONG AS THE OROCHI LIVE, I'LL BE AROUND!
KYO: WHAT?
IORI: AAAAAAAAH!
OROCHI: KILL KUSANAGI AND YATA! BREAK THE SHINGI TRIOCA!
FIGHT, MY OROCHI SON!
LISTEN, YAGAMI!
IORI: AAAAAAAAAH!
OROCHI: AH!
IORI: AAAAAH!
KYO: YAGAMIIIII!
UNKNOWN VOICE: KUSANAGI...PURGE THE EVIL! SAVE YAGAMI FROM FATE!
KYO: WHO IS THAT?
UNKNOWN VOICE: ALL IS FROM THE OROCHI BLOOD! FROM OUR BLOOD ALLEGIANCE.
WITH THE OROCHI CLAN!
KYO: OUR CLAN? (don't ask me why he says that) YAGAMI? THE YASAKANI CLAN?
UNKNOWN VOICE: 660 YEARS OLD ERROR... IT CAN'T BE CORRECTED!
THE ERROR HAS SEIZED YAGAMI!
UNKNOWN VOICE ( just reminding you so you're not confused): THAT ERROR CANNOT BE RELIEVED. BUT...THE ERROR IS OURS!
HE MUST NOT BEAR IT ALONE! CONTAIN THE OROCHI. SAVE IORI FROM OUR ERROR!
FINISH IT NOW!
DEFEAT THE OROCHI... AND DO IT WITH YAGAMI!
AND LIKE 1800 YEARS BEFORE... PROTECT KUSHINADA!
KYO: FINISH IT, KAGURA! CAN YOU DO IT?
CHIZURU: AS MIRROR KEEPER... I MUST DO IT!
OROCHI: FOOLS! A WASTE OF TIME! (that picture looks like it's either from a different game or a comic book).
IF I RELEASE MY REMAINING POWER, YOU'RE...
IORI: WAAAAAH!
CHIZURU (awsome pic): HIS POWER...TOO STRONG! KUSANAGI! QUICKLY!...
KYO: HEEEAAAAH!
KYO: WOOOOOOOOOH!
YUKI: (yuki has no text written here. Instead she says in actualy audio something in japanese which translates to) I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU, KYO.
