In the censored version, Zero, near death, reveals information to an outraged Whip, and Zero simply dies afterwards, with Whip leaving as the hideout collapses. The most obvious example of the edit is her team's ending in KoF 2000 where she points the weapon at the camera and shoots Zero. Her Desert Ëagle was censored for international release. She also has a concealed Desert Eagle which she can fire at the opponent. Her whip, probably designed by NESTS, can transform into a blade or a gun. Her fighting style is based on Soubenjutsu, the Japanese martial art of the use of the whip and also takes inspiration in other kinds of whip fighting. Wind Manipulation - In KOF XIV, Whip can create a ball of wind with her whip.Her attacking range increases, and she can attack multiple times. She probably doesn't have enough control of this ability, and only chooses to use such power to a downed opponent. Whipping strike - Seirah can use her hands to strike at her opponent in a blindingly fast whipping motion.She treats both K' and Kula Diamond as a little brother and sister. According to Maxima, she is a pure and honest person who judges others fairly. She is an enigmatic and quiet individual who acts towards her own goals. During the KOF XI tournament, she serves as backup for the Ikari team and asked Kula Diamond to enter the tournament with K' and Maxima. After NESTS's downfall, she returns to her duties under Heidern's command. While her team isn't present, she privately interrogates NESTS agents to find information regarding herself and the whereabouts of her brother.Īfter learning a startling but undisclosed revelation from Zero, she joins K' and his objective to destroy NESTS. She enters The King of Fighters tournament to investigate NESTS. She is eventually assigned to Heidern's mercenary unit under her current name, Whip. She used Sally as a codename to join the military. She befriended Krizalid under the assumption that he was her brother before she escaped from the cartel. Due to NESTS experimentation on her body, she's able to manipulate her specialized whip with ease. She also responds to the nicknames Sally or Sarah. Regardless of whether she is a clone or not, she is called Seirah by people who knew her in NESTS. Until this was written, Seirah is only shown briefly as a child in K's memories, imploring her younger brother ( K') to remain strong until they meet again. Ureshino comments that he wrote this origin story for her because the developers didn't want to clarify anything about her to him. According to the developers' diary for KOF 2000, her name Whip is an anagram of Winnie-the-Pooh.Īccording to the 2001 novel written by Akihiko Ureshino, Whip is a clone of the real Seirah Seirah was K's biological older sister who died after being abducted by NESTS. They hope that players would keep an eye on her future activities. The designers hoped that she would be accepted as an independent, whip-brandishing character rather than just another member of the Ikari Team. The developers wanted her to contrast Leona who exposes comparatively more skin, while Whip sports less revealing but body-hugging fashions that leave a little more to the imagination.

She was planned to enter the series in The King of Fighters '96 but was pushed back to The King of Fighters '99 due to Leona's introduction. Her affinity for whips earned her the nickname, Muchiko -which roughly translated to "Whip Girl" (sometimes translated as "Whippy") - by Ralf Jones.


Whip, whose real name is Seirah, is a character who first appeared in The King of Fighters '99 as the new member to the Ikari Warriors Team.
