My favorite Shingo factoid is that he is the only character who doesn't get a sound effect when he activates his desperation move. He actually makes the sound effect himself with his voice.

Shingo: not the character we wants... But the hero we needed.

Shingo's personality is basically any KOF fan 😁

honestly kof needs a good anime. This series is full of potential.

Man really wish Shingo was in the background in smash. He would be jumping for joy seeing many video game icons battling it out.

People say Shingo is nerfed but he actually is strong. Shingo kicks release is second to none for long range attacks

Shingo the Ascended Fan. If he forgot about flames and focused to create his own fighting style using the Kusanagi's as base other fighters would take him more seriously, his potential is inmense. With only one year of training he became able to compete in the KOF tournament, other fighters probably had to train for years.

This goofball really needs to come back in KOF XV. The past 2 games felt something missing to lighten up the serious but cool swagger feel to it, TBH.

He might be seen as a goofball for some but as it well known a person who appears to be on one extreme, usually have an equal heavily opposite side. I remember his intro on 97 where he exhale anxiously before any match and trys to believe in himself. I see him as a man who has a purpose and fights to prove that he is capable!

My journey into adulthood has been growing up believing I'm Rock Howard only to realize I'm actually Shingo Yabuki. For now.

It finally happened, the boys back!

I would love to see a story on Billy Kane! The fact that he's so devoted to Geese and looks after his sister under Geese's rule was so interesting to me~

Orochi: "hey kid... You want some flames?"

The boy is back baby. Shingo is in KOF XV.

He is also part of the special Teen Team: Kensou, Chris, Shingo. He is also voiced by KONO DIO DA!

My friend: Shingo is just a copycat of Kyo Me: *Shingo kicks him*

I hope Shingo is playable in KOF15

Welcome back to kof Shingo!

Here to rewatch this since shingo has been confirmed for kof 15

The level of the quality of storytelling on one is not just perfectly amazing but it's completely satisfying,and fun in a hilarious way, as always, i really enjoyed watching your lore videos, especially this is one since it's all about Shingo which is originally intended to be a joke character but he ends up being fan favorite, even for me who is a Fatal Fury player but to be honest, Shingo has a lot unique moves that i can really utilize in my team way back during KOF 99 onwards, and i was surprised you mentioned the lighter in KOF 03, where only little knew about it which really amazes me on your efforts to put up this video and make it a really light hearted content since it's a "LORE OF SHINGO YABUKI" of course, man, all i can say is that you didn't just made a good job, but you made a better job and please never stop make these stuff cause is completely satisfying, you didn't just made the best Shingo Yabuki lore video but you also give enough justice to this character despite constantly being set aside on every KOF story and also being belittled by everyone, you did an undeniable perfect job and can't be argued because THIS IS THE BEST LORE VIDEO OF SHINGO YABUKI I HEARD WITNESSED...!, AND PLEASE KEEP IT COMING, KUDOS TO VERY SATISFYING JOB YOU DID HERE...! 🙌🙌🙌 P.S.: thank you again for listening and i am flattered everytime you pay attention to everything throw at you and that's why we love you, thank you again, By the way, since you already did a video about Shingo, then does that mean Benimaru is up next?, The secret hero of KOF?, If that's the case that means this will be a SHOCK, boy! i can't wait for that happen!, By the way, let me say Merry Christmas and Happy New year in advance and wish more subscribers and followers on your patreon, and always remember, "Regardless of what it is, always have fun!; And you will be surprised will what happens next!."

3:19 SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW HE HAS SUCH AN AMAZING BODY?!?!?!?!

I never knew he was using a lighter in the later games. That's friggin genius! Next character I'd like you to select is someone from the women's team preferably Mai Shiranui!

Shingo Yabuki : the ‘Sean Matsuda’ of kof

Shingo and Sakura need to meet each other since they follow Kyo and Ryu around.

Man, I love shingo. He's my favorite "goofball" character of sorts. He NEEDS to be in KOF 15. Also, a video on benimaru would be cool!

If he gets flames it should be his own color, like blue

shingo is such husband material. he needs a comeback 😭😭✨ i love his goofy energy

Of all the pupil joke characters I see in fighting games, Shingo is my favorite one. His martial arts are not perfect, but you can see that he tries hard. He is pretty significant in the story as well and is also a hero in a way. If Kyo chooses to remain with Beinmaru and Daimon in XV, then maybe Shingo can team up with Chizuru for helping him with his medical bills. Doing a vote on which character you should do next huh...I did say the Bernstein family in a previous video. However, after playing through some KoF games and watching KoF Destiny, there is one character who is relevant in every KoF who I think deserves some much needed attention. In terms of design, gameplay, lore, and the many connections he has with various characters in the series, my one favorite KoF character that I would like you to make a video about would be none other than the Ikari commander himself: Heidern.

The name of his theme called "Still Green" because he'll always be green around the edge. Still though Shingo one of my top favs

“Notice me, Senpai!” -Shingo

I don't know if Shoryugame has ever mentioned this but... KOF does have plenty of references to JoJo's bizarre adventure. This is the biggest. Shingo Yabuki is voiced by Takehito Koyasu aka DIO. That to me is the biggest of all references. A man responsible for voicing a nearly immortal vampire with a stand voices a kid that wants to be like Kyo Kusanagi. Honestly, I want Shingo in KOFXV. #Justice4Shingo

I feel like Shingo could be a cool main character for the VERSE Saga whenever 15 comes out. Plus Shingo’s Voice actor is the Japanese voice for DIO

Shingo definetely needs to comeback in XV, please SNK make it happen. For the next video, what about Mai? she's became quite more popular lately.

It would be cool seeing Shingo become mor stronger and more confident in his skills in KOF 15. P.S SHINGO KIIIIICKU!

Shingo hit hard, and I mean really hard. When any of his move connect, it's almost as if the opponent gain some form concussion from them.. that's is so satisfying

9:33 Bruh my man callin Yagami for help!

I'd like to see Robert Garcia. He's been one of my favorite characters since Art of Fighting

A friend of mine got me hip to KOF. He introduced me to Shinto and I fell in love with the character. I’m also a huge fan of his theme song👍🏽

I relate to Shingo so much because I have great aspirations, but my lack of talent gets me nowhere, always sucking up to the most popular celebrities hoping that doing it would get my big break, but the total opposite of that happens, and I'm often the laughing stock despite my good intentions. Despite those downsides I'm currently facing I accept myself for who I am and strive to be as great as my idols.

Here’s hoping Shingo returns in KOF15. Goro Daimon could use a teammate now that Kyo and Benimaru are on new teams, and maybe the third person could be Kyo’s father

The fact that he's voiced by Takehiko Koyasu, aka Dio MOTHERFUCKING Brando himself, is just part of the reason that makes him so great

he's now my favorite kof character! might even consider him to be my overall favorite out of all the characters from various fighting games due to the fact that i so can relate to his back story and his attitude! jolly and persistent

At last one of my most favorite character ......

Thanks for this! can you do the story of rugal's family?

I love the fact that Shingo gradually worked on his poor aerial spin kicks in 97 until it became his strongest super move in 03 and XI

You thought this video was about Shingo... But IT WAS I! DIO!

I would love for Shingo to come back soon, and actually gain a power. I almost feel like it would be funny if he does figure out some ability, but it ends up not being fire, something else completely, but he still tries desperately to make it fire instead, or makes it mimic fire in some way. I like characters like him, because while he's comic relief, he's not made bad by any means, and managed to find some real potential despite being a goof.

I was LITERALLY just looking up shingo yabuki just now for no reason and then saw this on my related videos, great timing!

The fact that Shingo got Kyo and Iori to work together is amazing! Especially when you realize that Shingo is the only person to never bribe Iori to fight Kyo.

This is why shingo needs to be on kof 15

I think Shingo have a lot of potential, and he should just give up on creating flames from his hands and just accept that he himself is unique and tries to train hard to improvise the skills that Kyo and Saisyu taught him.

Uploads on the day I'm in school... Well my final project can wait a litte while for a KOF lore video. Good ol' Shingo man. You really can't hate the guy. Also TV Tropes wasn't kidding man, Shingo is absolutely jacked underneath that uniform. Even though I've accepted it now, still *low-key* baffles me that Shingo's voiced by DIO (Takahito Koyasu) and Jade Curtiss.

...This is the Peak Kof Character. You may not like it,but here he is. Shingo Yabuki. Honestly I want...Billy Kane for no reason.

The critical hit ... . When he hit the opponent we can feel the pain and the joy of breaking bones .love shingo

Honestly, Shingo's moves could be implemented in KOF XV, and it would make sense if a few of his moves changed, because he may have been studying Kyo's moves while resting. Most of Shingo's super special moves have evolved. Case in point, Burning Shingo(Moero Shingo). At first, it was a mix of Shingo's Aragami and Gettchu move, along with a few strong attacks, until becoming more and more of a Final Showdown-esque move, as shown in KOF 2003 as well as KOF 2002 Unlimited Match. The Desperation move version could be the version with just a mix of Aragamis and Dokugamis. The Super Deperation move version could be the one in 2001 and Unlimited match. The MAX Special move could be a spinoff of Kyo's special in XIV, but there are multiple candidates for this spot. They are as follows: The "Shingo's My Way Maimer"(KOF 2003-KOF XI;double qcf + BD): this is a super version of Shingo's reverse dragon punch move. In some circumstances, you may be able to get the hitbox of Shingo falling for some MAJOR damage. Shingo Style God's Duster or Shingo Kinsei Oreshiki Kamichiri(KOF 2002 UM;double hcb + AC): this is Shingo's version of Kyo's Kamichiri... or Kamakura. I'm not quite sure of the name, but it sure does a lot of damage. It also has a bit of humor, considering Shingo pauses halfway through the move to check for any more moves. I hope a running gag like that is in XV somewhere if they put in Shingo.

Only one thing..... The way you state things and incidents properly in context to every character is AWESOME 👌

Shingo is awesome.. I like he was a joke characters then he became a fan favorite character. I'm really glad that I had watch this video. He storylines is a happy then a sad, one but I really hope that he come back and get kyo fire

Easily the top 5 KOF fighter ever made

Shingo literally took a fucking beating from Iori. WHILE IORI WAS IN OROCHI MODE, and Shingo is just a regular dude with pure will power and skill alone

Yes! I've been waiting for this one. Sharing this video as we speak. I love Shingo's theme music, powerful sounding moves, and how he reacts to so many characters. Thanks Shoryu!

first time i play shingo was on KOF 99 , i loved shingo, he's cool and fun to play

Honestly I just want to thank you for making this content which informs people(including me) of some of our favourite characters and I implore you to continue to make videos and I look forward to your channel's growth

LOVE this vid! Thank you so much for making this vid about Shingo as he is my FAVOURITE KOF character ever!

I tell ya man, I really really dig these videos. Not just because they're super informative (SNK bosses can be merciless and I can't buy every game) but also because your own passion for these characters clearly show in these videos. Though that's also why I dig the SNK fighting verse, the characters are so compelling and the stories tend to be better than most other fighters.

Hey, I want to pop in here and give you a big thank you! I came here for a brief on the Samurai Showdown story so I could enjoy the KoF All Stars Crossover more. From there I watched most of your character videos and all four of your KoF Arc Lore videos, better telling the story in a more concentrated manner than what I had been able to find up to this point. So, thank you very much!

Kyo, Shingo and Iori in one team is anime worthy.

And he's coming back in 2023!

That dream is today! Shingo can produce flames!

I'm def' curious about Seth. I enjoy his playstyle. 4 unique divekicks was such a strange discovery when I first played him. Other than that, I'm curious if there are any more details behind being "Beni's old friend".

"in roasting friends" haha. Awesome video as always. Keep up the excellent work.

I knew it. I freaking knew it. Every was saying ralf, but i knew that it was shingo all along. Nice video, as usual.

came to support the channel, keep up the good work and great job putting it together real nice

I really enjoy your videos as they introduced me to the story of KOF and Fatal Fury, Thank you and keep up the good work. From many characters Shingo is probably my favourite.

As Kyo, Chizuru, and Iori just defeated Orochi again (resurrected bcoz of Verse), they decided to team up and look into this Verse Matter together this year. Meanwhile, after "recovering", Shingo is ready to participate as well. So, he sets off to find his teammates. --- Somewhere in South Town: Rock is miserable, fighting with the leader of local weapon dealer Alexandrite, trying to get Geese Howard's location. He knows his father is not dead, and participated in last tournament... but still hiding from him. Rock is not at his best shape, taking beat down as his mind is not at right place. Shingo breaks the fight. Alexandrite says to them that they stopped working with the crime boss long time ago, and knows nothing about Geese's current affairs. Adelheid arrives, he was notified previously about the fight. Seeing Alexandrite beaten, he started attacking Shingo & Rock... During the fight, something unexpected happens... Shingo strikes and knocks out Adelheid with FIRE. He is both excited and little bit confused. --- After a while: Shingo: Look, we aren't after you... Rock: I'm looking for Geese Howrad. Adelheid: Right, your father! Rock: Don't pretend now you know us!! Adelheid: Well, you aren't the only one with daddy issue, in fact most of us are trying to recover from our former self, or shadow of forefathers... Shingo: I never knew my father... for all I know, what have I learned from my life, fathers don't define sons... Adelheid: It's our Action which defines us! Shingo: Yea! See how life turns out... Kyo, the man I looked up to, teaming up with his rival, the man who wanted to kill him, who almost killed me for trying to save him, Iori... Father, Master no matter what, no one is worth your attention more than yourself. Rock: Anyways guys, thanks for the talk. Adelheid: Hey, have you found your team for KOF XV yet? Shingo: no! Adelheid: how about us?! Rock: sure, Geese is bound to be their like the last time! Adelheid: I have a feeling someone might be resurrected too! Shingo: Orochi?! He's already defeated by those double timing teams. Rock: No, he's looking for his father... Rugal! --- --- --- Could Orochi be defeated just like that?! How did Shingo cast fire just like that now?! Isn't Orochi originally suppose to take over Shingo instead of Chris...!!! --- --- ---

Reading the origin of flame gaiden manga make me like him

I saw Guile statue at 1:29! It was in CvsS2, introducing Guile and Rugal in a pre-battle!

This was so good ! Well done ... I would love to get the ikari warriors whole essay XD From heidern to whip and everyone in between please !

1:08 to 1:11 Missed the opportunity to put *happy shingo noises* in the subtitles lol

my favorite character to use when i was a kid, a likeable kyo

HES BACKKKKK

Very well explained. Keep up the good work!

Another great video man! Keep it up

Finally, I waited for this for a long time.

I love your videos, man. They go into great detail! Keep them coming!

nice video man,i really enjoyed it .keep up

One of my favorite characters in KOF, thanks Shoryou

I could imagine if Shingo and Sakura met some day and actually fell in love with each other and got married and had a kid that would be one of the greatest fighters ever of the next generation. If it was a boy, I’d bet they’d name him Kyoryu or Ryu Kusanagi, and just imagine him being a bad ass new fighter that has Hadokens, Shoryukens, Spin Kicks, Bodega Flame Punches, the anti air flame. The kid would have insane combos I’d bet. That would be pretty cool.

love your videos bro

Man, I never knew Shingo played such an important role in the story! Could you do a video on Kula or Billy Kane next? Or maybe a review of King of Fighters: All Star??

2:50 The image of Shingo just standing in that bush is hilarious to me.

Awesome work !!!

Great video, keep it up!

Great montage. Now that I think of it, that's the case in most story videos

The Best Boi returns!

Love you for this video! Being a newbie to KOF I never met Shingo in-game, but from what I got from other sources I always liked him from the beginning. Would love to see him in KOF XV! By the way, I agree with Alex McNeill’s idea--Billy Kane would certainly make an interesting video, too.

Shingo is my fav character in kof, alongside Yashiro (normal Yashiro not orochi) and Sie Kensou. I really like character with raw strength without projectile power. Shingo kick is my fav moves, easy to connect with serious damage.

This was amazing! Thank you!!! Hope he's in kof xv

A bit of story on The Ones from The Past too please! Like Saiki, Shroom, Rimelo, Botan etc

The clips on 3:27 to 3:40 had me laughing. Kyo teaching Shingo

Don't be afraid to do the first Duck King bio. Thanks for the work.
