Heh, heh, heh… Thanos doesn’t even know what ki is*
No, they can’t. Every generation there is a Kusanagi, a Yagami, and a Kagura who have to defeat Orochi. Doesn’t matter how far he goes back, he’s always fighting a Kusanagi(Orochinagi), a Yagami/Hakesshu(Eight Glasses of Wine), or a Kagura(Yata Mirror Seal).
Moving back instead of foward seems to me absurd my friend.
Now Orochi on the other hand, he’s more like Apocalypse. Orochi is always there(past, present, or future). Furthermore, Orochi is hidden deep within the ether dome of the Earth. The only people that can see(or even fathom him for that matter) him are Kyo, Iori, and Chizuru. Now, why can they fathom him? Because, they are God Calibur, that’s why. Their flames(what they use too see him with / they don’t necessarily see him as much as they sense him) act as an ether transport connection that allows them to sense things that are hidden deep within the ether dome of the Earth’s atmosphere. How do you demolish what you can’t see, touch, or feel? Answer; you don’t. It’s as simple as that. The reason Orochi flashes in and out like that is because he’s not even fully manifested into this worldly plane. The Sacred Treasures and Orochi fight inbetween the dimensions(deep inbetween the ethers). Is Thanos’ third eye(what is used to sense ki) that potent to the point that he can sense(using his ki) Orochi. Hell, Thanos is unfailiar with ki. He probably does not even know what it is. If he doesn’t even have a third eye/sixth sense then how can he even defeat Ryu? What Hadoken does is deminish your low ki. Fighters in the SF, and KOF univese train to increase there ki. If Thanos has never even increased his ki one notch that he can’t even take a hadoken. Hadoken = force + life force drain. It drains the life force/ki and hits with force(the force would not do a damn thing to Thanos but you know what? the ki would drain all of his life force directly).
Hell, Thanos probably doesn’t even have the sixth sense to even sense ki in geneneral. He couldn’t even sense RYU’S KI. Ryu can put Thanos to shame with a single hadoken simply because of the fact that Marvel failed to realize that ki = lifeforce in Marvel comics. Not that Ryu could beat Thanos but it’s just that Thanos would not be able to take a hadoken(he could probably destroy him from space or something)
Kyo and Iori don’t use their six sense/third eye/ki manipulatory sense to sense ki. They use their flames.
So get this. Thanos ki level isn’t even as potent as Ryu(hell, Sakura knows more about ki than Thanos) and Orochi HAS AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF NEVER ENDING KI. IF SUPER SAIYAN GAJILLION GOKU TRIED TO SENSE OROCHI’S KI HE’D PROBABLY DIE FROM THE RADIATION.
Perfect Cell has like a power level of 3 million. Orochi has like a power level of AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF NEVER ENDING. Perfect Cell rattles the Earth when he powers up. Orochi rattles the multiverse(several universes at a time).
THE RADIATION THAT OROCHI EMITS WOULD ERRADICATE SUPER SAIYAN 4322 GOKU SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH KI YOU HAVE OROCHI WILL ALWAYS HAVE MORE.
This applies to Kyo and Iori as well. Doesn’t matter how much attack or magickal attack they possess Orochi can just put his ATTACK OR MAGICAKAL ATTACK OVER THEIRS.
So, I bet you’re wondering how Kyo can even defeat one such as Orochi when Orochi has that much ki. Well, the answer is simple; Kyo’s flames have infinite magical attack as well(like what I said before about how if Ryu could even beat Kyo he would not be able to get hit by his flames, not even once). …But even with that he can only stagger Orochi. Yes, Orochi is that potent(so is Kyo, Thanos couldn’t even take a No Style)
Yes, Kyo and Iori are totally invincible whilst holding up their flames.
Kyo’s flames are a type of transparent etheral. Kyo is not necessarily “there” when he uses his flames. Etherals always harm the soul. It has already been outlined by Neo Rasa(a KOF storyline expert) in the KOF storyline thread that Kyo’s flames are an etheral. …And you’re saying that I’m doing nothing but just spouting off at the mouth… ? Tsk, tsk, tsk…
Orochi’s Bright Light(his full screen super) didn’t even kill Kyo, what makes you think that a simple sonic boom would?
So he DOES have motive, can’t argue with that…
Orochi told Chizuru “You have no plan, and no brain, how can you to defeat one such as I? I exist in the minds of all humans”(paraphrasing of course)
The whole mythology that KOF is based on states that all people get their ki from Orochi. Like I said earlier, a deity is a person who is adjoining on all people. Orochi is adjoining on all people by giving everyone their ki. He was around since before the universe created, what else do you expect?
“It all begins and ends with I” - Orochi
re-quote
“Destroying Orochi is like destroying yourself. You destroy the embodiment of life force and you destroy your life force and everybody elses in the universe as well. Orochi is not normally and entity to be fought. He is a deity. He has a place in the universe. It is his duty as a deity to rule over ki. That’s what his job is. You destroy him and you in essence take out your own lifeforce as well. It’s as simple as that.”
…Now you’re making sense.
