お前ら ごときが
俺に 勝てる わけが ない だろ?

 "You bunch couldn't possibly mean to beat me, do you?"

  Most fields on his profile are 『不明』 'unknown'
  Blood type is O
  His fighting style is 『肉弾戦』 "Nikudansen" , is an warfare style where soldiers fling themselves at the enemy.
  His weight and height are stated as 178cm and 59kgs respectively, but is noted that they will vary later (when he fuses with Ash).
  His character tag line is 『 時闇 を 統べる もの 』 "He who controls / masters the Dark Hour"

Though SNK Wikia's translation
"The One who Rules Time"

Also, Professor @ MMCafe gives us some Arcadia notes about XIII

Very very quick notes on that latest issue of Arcadia magazine--

1. Arcadia's top tier picks are K', Mature, and Iori. The three characters weren't listed in any order of ranking because that's the teamup that the magazine expects to see a lot at the Tougeki tournament (preliminaries starts from Aug.1). The magazine also picked Kyo, Elisabeth, and Maxima as their secondary choice of characters.

2.Raiden and I *think* it was Takuma, was also mentioned because they have some powerful combos. In fact, Takuma apparently has a knockout/100% combo that can be done as long as he has about 70% of his drive meter full.





IMO, Raiden is powerful but hard to use. He has some weird attributes, like his closeup fierce kick is an overhead. He's in my choice of teamup.

Though SNK Wikia's translation
"The One who Rules Time"

 It literally says "dark hour", also 'dark hour' has a different implied meaning in popular culture other than 'time' (thus, I didn't avoided mention it). Then again I'm crazy about those types of references.... Then again I can already see that snkp will use something like the wikia version for their translation.

Does anyone know what the Kanji on his name mean though?

 It's composed by the Kanjis of Purification 斎 and the kanji for worship 祀. The most normal kanji spelling for Saiki is written with the Kanjis of "equal" and "three" (but that's not the one that is wrongly placed in the snk wikia)... SNK pointed out that they where choosing to "degenerate" or give twisted meanings to regular names for the bosses of this saga somewhere on their site.

 I didn't provided name interpretation for Saiki's name, since that's usually slightly different from just the meaning of the words.

[Venom Yagami]

Saiki's looks A LOT like Magaki.....just check Transformed Magaki's artwork from KOF XI
Oh but his theme.....ITS AMAZING!!!....

[MC2]

Well he absorbed Mukai, so who's to say he didn't absorb Magaki too when they brought his corpse in?
Would make sense to me.

Entirely loving Saiki's theme.. it's a little bit classically refined, a little bit metal, and a little bit The Sound of Drums. A nice combination for anyone in the Crimson lineage.. and still keeps the mood pushing towards the battle drive.
