reputation, causing him to briefly disappear from the public. In order to help restore his reputation, Antonov decides to form his own wrestling team named Galaxy Anton Wrestling and is prepared to take part in KOF XV as the leader of Team G.A.W. alongside Mexican wrestlers Ramón and King of Dinosaurs. Ash Crimson China Team (Shun'ei) (Tung Fu Rue) (Meitenkun) The China Team, which is unrelated to the China Team that appeared in The King of Fighters '94, is composed of characters originating from China.

However, these can only be perceived as illusions, and only a limited few are capable of controlling them. Ever since Shun'ei had inherited two halves of the Amplified Specters from Verse, he
