With this turn of events, Shion orders two underlings to retrieve Magaki's body, As he prepares to leave through a dimensional portal, Shion hurls his spear and kills Magaki for underestimating the humans. Also defeated, Magaki stands up unscathed just like Mukai, and wonders why Orochi haven't awakened yet. Shion is defeated, so Magaki takes him away to another dimension and decides to defeat the winning team by himself. As the tournament ends, Shion invites the winning team for a match, since they still need more power to awaken Orochi.

As the winning team meets Chizuru and defeat her, Botan and Mukai appear after them, so Mukai challenges them for a fight to test their prowess.

Ash obeys him, although Saiki believes he cannot be trusted. Knowing that he would need the three sacred weapons to undo the seal, Saiki looks after his last descendant, Ash Crimson, and orders him to enter the tournament and steal the sacred weapons.
He looks for his followers, and orders them to manipulate the King of Fighters tournament and gather the energy necessary to unseal Orochi. Saiki, witnessing this war, decided that the power of Orochi would be of great use to change his and his followers' fate, so he waited for the time when Orochi's seal would be weakened to absorb his powers and use it to open the Gate of Fate, which would allow him to go back in time.ĭuring the twenty-first century, after the followers of Orochi used the King of Fighters tournament to awaken their master, Saiki decided their time had come at last.

He shows no feelings for others or interest on things that don't concern him, also despising incompetence and disobedience. Much like Ash Crimson, Saiki is a flamboyant character.
