Purposely Overpowered: Usually the final character to be unlocked and is generally one of the more powerful characters.The Hydra in 3 also semi-counts as it's a manifestation of Orochi's raw power without his soul to guide it. One-Winged Angel: In 2 he manifests as Orochi X, a stronger version of his regular self after being brought back to life.On the other side, he's not very fast when moving or attacking. Mighty Glacier: Is classified as a Power-type throughout the whole series, and thus also has Hyper Armor.Go Out with a Smile: in Warriors Orochi 4, the original Orochi smiles upon being struck down by Susano'o and Fu Xi, content that his Death Seeker wishes are finally fulfilled.Fallen Hero: He was once Yinglong, a mystic warrior who fought alongside Fu Xi and the others long ago until an ill-thought out decision led to him being corrupted and transformed into the Serpent King Orochi.As a Death Seeker who desires nothing more than to be destroyed, the original Orochi nevertheless disapproves of his Shin counterpart's Omnicidal Maniac tendencies, saying that the humans do not deserve to be destroyed alongside himself. Even Evil Has Standards: in the fourth game, a really weird example of a villain having standards against himself.They disgust his old allies enough to pull a Heel≯ace Turn and side with the heroes to defeat them. Empty Shell: The "cast-offs" that destroyed Hydra heads vomit up in 3.Dub Name Change: His second form is known as Shin Orochi (literally meaning "True Orochi") in Japanese and Orochi X in English.The Dreaded: Even after his death, Orochi's presence casts a wide enough shadow that the idea of him resurrecting is enough to spur people normally at odds with each other to ban together and stop him.Although the consequences of his actions can still be felt, and the idea of his resurrection is enough to spur an Oh, Crap! from just about everyone, Orochi himself has little if nothing to do with the main plot of the game itself as the primary focus is on both Zeus and later Odin. Deep Sleep: His final fate near the end of the fourth game, when Fu Xi and Susano'o defeated him.Death Seeker: Keiji Maeda figures it out before anyone else, and he's really quite miffed at being brought back to life in the second game.Came Back Wrong: The Hydra in 3 is considered to be this by Orochi's allies as it lacks whatever intellect and charisma that the original Orochi had despite having his power.And should one prove strong enough, hopes to die by their hand. Blood Knight: Summons mighty warriors from all ages into a distorted world just to fight them.Bishōnen Line: He looks more like a starkly-handsome guy than an eight-headed dragon.After his initial defeat, later games instead feature him in a reduced role as other antagonists like Da Ji and Kiyomori Taira take the spotlight with Orochi himself being more of a Greater-Scope Villain. Big Bad: For the first game as it's his will that drives the main plot.Diamondback's Musou attack in 4 even features him being struck by an uncaring Orochi as the latter appears behind him in order to attack the enemy. Bad Boss: In the second game, he decapitated Diamondback for the latter's cowardice in the midst of battle.Both Orochi end up fighting with the former winning, but is himself later sealed away once more by Fu Xi and Susano'o.
Orochi comes back for real in the fourth game as both his normal self and as Orochi X.It's later revealed that Orochi's soul was reincarnated as Shuten Doji. It also appears to be the case in the third with the Hydra's appearance, but it's subverted as the Hydra itself is nothing more than Orochi's raw power given form and without Orochi's soul to guide it. Back from the Dead: The second game deals with his resurrection as Orochi X.The only thing that saves him to create the Purposely Overpowered character that he is intended to be is his C1-1.

Almost all of his moves are non-elemental, deal weak damage, have awkward coverage, and have a lot of windup without invincibility frames, since the PC doesn't have a boss's boosted combat resistance.
