Revision 1

The Bakunawa Killer is a masked antagonist in Virtua Fighter Crossroads. He was first shown at Evo 2026, where SEGA revealed him as a mysterious figure carrying out a string of attacks on the martial artists of Vilasapara. His name draws on the Bakunawa, a sea serpent from Philippine mythology, a nod to the game's Southeast Asian setting.

The Bakunawa Killer fights in a Shaolin kung fu style. He wears a layered mask and Chinese-style attire, and his moveset is built around butterfly kicks, palm strikes, and strikes thrown with his hands held behind his back. That grounded, kung-fu-driven approach sets him apart from the new leads and returning veterans shown so far on the Characters page.

Story Role

Within the campaign, the Bakunawa Killer appears in Cielo's arc of Story Mode. His attacks on the city's fighters run alongside the public rise of the Vila Fight Fest, the underground tournament that President Bato has pushed to the center of city life, and the game keeps his connection to those plans deliberately unclear. His true identity has not been revealed and is framed as one of the story's central questions.

Availability

Beyond the story, the Bakunawa Killer is a playable fighter in Versus Mode, where he joined the roster alongside the fighters shown earlier. Like every fighter, he plays on the game's shared Combat System. Full details of his moveset, his place in the wider roster, and the truth behind the mask have not yet been detailed.
