* BackFromTheDead: Well Mature and Vice obviously, though no explanation how in this one. [[spoiler: At the end of the game though, Verse's defeat brings back a ''number'' of deceased characters as it's explained he was carrying the souls of the dead within him including Ash Crimson, Yashiro, Shermie, Chris, ''Orochi'' (though he's quickly sealed), etc. Essentially it's just an excuse to bring back dead characters for the next generation.]]

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: It has the biggest roster in the mainline series with a whopping 48 (50 including Antonov and Verse) characters. And a good chunk of them are newcomers to boot. By the end of the game's lifespan, the roster is at '''58''' characters, currently the largest in any mainline ''KOF'' and second only to ''2002 Unlimited Match'', which had (again, counting bosses) '''''66''''' playable characters total.
