GENERAL/STORY:
Shion makes his first appearance in KOF XI as a sub-boss. He was conceptually designed to be one of Ron's daughters though developers decided to change his gender (maybe) to startle and appeal to fans with his androgynous appearance. Shion is an enigmatic character who's past is unknown. He works as an underling for the demon Magaki and seems knowledgeable about the workings of Orochi. After being defeated at the ruins of the tournament finals, he is dragged through an extra-dimensional gate and seemingly killed. However, after Magaki is defeated at the end of the tournament, Shion's spear is hurled through a gate Magaki created and goes through his chest, killing him instantly. He is voiced by Jidai Ogawa.

REVIEW:
One of the first rope dart users in fighting games, and SNK pulled the weapon style off rather nicely with this design. Shion is a cool looking design overall I must say... but if you thought Shion was a she, you're flat out wrong. I admit I was tricked at first myself. Shion obviously looks like a chick, but of course, SNK of Japan has to complicate things and declare this character a guy. Shion is possibly the most feminine male in the fighting game universe... possibly in the entire universe as well. lol.
