Hello fellow Kyokugen heads! Here's Chop, once again blogging teh blog!

Alright, today I bring you a KOF XIII AOF story translation. I say "A", because it's nothing official. But nonetheless, it's still what the fans have come up with.

So without further adieu, I present to you the AOF XIII story. Enjoy!

What left Takuma Sakazaki astonished on that day, was his beloved daughter...

Takuma: Yuri? Something is wrong...

Yuri: Huh?

Yuri puts on her obi as she arrives at the dojo with a mean glare that made her father shake in anger.

Yuri: What's wrong now?

Takuma: Oh, then there is something wrong! Your hair! Why the fuck would you do such a thing?

Yuri: Ah! This?

Yuri's hair, which used to reach down to the middle of her back, now touches down to her shoulder. She had cut her hair short.

Yuri: Yeah, I stopped in the middle of the jogging course, and there was a new hair salon. I decided to enter to see how it looked like...

Takuma: I haven't heard about such a thing around here.

Takuma interrupts Yuri and his voice became more stern. There were other students of Takuma and Ryo other than Yuri with white obis within the dojo. Their eyes all stare at Takuma and wondered why he had become angry all of a sudden.

Ryo is the son of Takuma and sister of Yuri, and he understands why Takuma was suddenly displeased. Ryo lowered his eyebrows and approached his father.
She will disgrace herself in front of the trainees that stop in from the neighborhood, he thought.


Ryo: Yo father, that...

Takuma: You, shut up! Good, Yuri? I firmly want to say...

Yuri: What's with you guys? Can't I make my own decisions?

Robert Garcia arrives on the scene from the corner of the dojo in time to see the depressed looks of Ryo and Takuma.

Robert: Ooooh? Yuri-chan, you got a haircut?

Yuri: Uhh, ummm...

Robert: Wow, such a short style you got. It's very lovely.

Yuri: Ah, Robert-san so nice.

Yuri laughs and she smiles at Robert.

Robert: Indeed Yuri-chan, the opponent won't be able to concentrate on your Y-shaped hairstyle now, huh?

Yuri: Yeah, it is proper when fighting an opponent without doing a lousy job at it.

Robert: Natural and finesse, it's good discretion against an opponent for what it's worth.

Yuri: Aww, Robert-kun.

Takuma put a sour expression after being interrupted by Robert's appearance and breaks the conversation between the two.

Takuma: You want to fight? I'll be your opponent!

Robert & Yuri: What?

Takuma: Don't forget that I am your father! You should stop this relationship!

Yuri: Father! A little...!

Ryo: Hey!

Ryo quietly stopped Yuri from venting a few offensive words to their father.

Ryo: Stop it now, Yuri!

Yuri: Don't be so conceited! We've been wanting to do this for awhile now.

Ryo: Oh, so father's feelings mean nothing to you?

Yuri: Eh?

For Ryo to say something so dubious, Yuri looked at him in confusion.

Yuri: Oh, for the sake of other trainees, let's settle it here.

Robert changes into his clothes and stands in front of Takuma who is closing his obi. He glances at Ryo for a quick second, and winks with a smile. Robert probably knows the reason for Takuma's displeasure.

Ryo puts his hands together and silently apologizes to Robert. He prompts his sister to stand aside silently as they watch the two have a practice fight.


~~~

Yuri utters in anger and she stirs her ice coffee around with her straw.

Yuri: Good Grief! Is everybody in the dojo so snobbish!? Brother and father complaining about my hair! Hmph! At least you Robert, thinks it's good...

Robert: Mm-hmm.

After practice was done for the day, Yuri and Robert had come to the Open Cafe where the view of the hills were lovely. Yuri left the house to go shopping. But instead, she and Robert went there.

Robert: "The master is such a demon of karate!", says one of the children... Well, actually, the child's parent said that. You should show a little respect, Yuri-chan.

Yuri: I know...

Robert: They will always be your family, like it or not. You can't change that. I even told Ryo that.

Robert takes a sniff of his cappuccino cup. Maybe Ryo is in the gym, and Robert right now seems enthusiastic on trying to understand Yuri.

Robert: But, maybe our master's true intention is for you to give up karate, Yuri-chan?

Yuri: What? Me give up karate?

Robert: I know how bold you are in your confidence with your experience. Originally, didn't you study Kyokugen for self-defense? I know you've exceeded the levels of self-defense and want to show your natural power in the tournament, Yuri-chan. I'm very proud of you, but aren't you getting carried away with this?

Robert points everything out to Yuri. Yuri certainly started Kyokugenryu-Karate as an art of self-defense. She is aware that the King of Fighters tournament is very professional, unlike other events. Not only is it a front of defending herself with karate, but she is willing to fight. This might be a big mistake.

Ryo: HEY!

Yuri hears a familiar voice that sounded like her brother. At the bottom of the stairs was Ryo waving his arms.

Ryo: It's time to go home Yuri!

Yuri: Big brother...

Robert: Get in the car, Yuri-chan. I think it's better if you go home in my lovely car than Ryo's ragedy motorcycle, which handles like shit.

Robert smiles at Yuri while sipping his cappuccino.

:iconchopnscrew::iconsaysplz:Hmmm, it seems SNK hasn't forgotten 2003, since it's story also portrayed Robert & Yuri this close. Still, it's nice to see the two more together like they were in the original AOF games.

Albeit the story is very entertaining, it still doesn't explain why Takuma rejoins the team. In 2003, he is attacked and wounded by an unknown person. In XI, he tells everybody that he will not be participating in the KOF tournaments anymore.
Then again, there have been rumors saying that he faked his own accident in order for King to again rejoin Ryo's team. Thus, increasing the chance of grandchildren. Clever...
This is backed up by the fact that Takuma looks and behaves like his old-goofy self in the XI ending.

Since the AOF team is filled with the presence of her father, Yuri once again resorts to joining the tournament with Mai & King.
The woman's team story hasn't been fully translated yet, but keep you eyes peeled for King's side of the story too.

As added bonuses, here are the KOF XIII Technical Reference videos for the AOF crew. Basically, a showcase of everybody's moves and simple combos:
