The characters revealed for Virtua Fighter Crossroads thus far are Akira, Stella, Wolf Hawkfield, Pai Chan, Cielo Salinas, Bakunawa Killer and Lionel Rafale. It would seem that certain classic characters of the Virtua Fighter series are being replaced by newer fighters.
It is believed that Lau Chan is being replaced by Bakunawa Killer based on how Pai Chan, Lau’s daughter, reacted to the unmasking of the newcomer. Longtime Virtua Fighter fans speculate that Bakunawa Killer is based on the anime exclusive character that was a disgraced student of Lau’s who trained alongside Pai.
Sega recently released a profile of Bakunawa Killer that… doesn’t really provide much of anything, to be honest.
“Meet the Bakunawa Killer, a [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] in Virtua Fighter Crossroads,” said Sega on X.
His age, height, weight and talent are simply listed as being unknown. One might think that estimations of his height and weight could be provided based on sightings, but apparently not.
The entirety of his details section has been redacted. This indicates that there was something here previously, but this information is being intentionally hidden.
He doesn’t appear to have a least favorite food and he doesn’t seem to have any hobbies. The fact that he doesn’t necessarily dislike any particular food seems to suggest that he would eat anything for the sake of practicality.
At long last, we’re finally provided with a snippet of information about Bakunawa Killer. He… likes Chinese food?
If other details about Bakunawa Killer are shrouded in mystery, why is this the only thing we know about this unknown figure?
Funnily enough, we don’t even know his nationality. But the fact that he legitimately enjoys Chinese food does imply that he’s Chinese, though this isn’t officially confirmed.
This does further push the theory that Bakunawa Killer might actually be that aforementioned disgraced apprentice considering how both Lau and Pai are Chinese as well.
Ultimately though, it seems like we’ll have to wait for the full game release to determine the shrouded truth behind the identity of Bakunawa Killer.
