Zero and Glaugan in The King of Fighters 2001. Illustration by Nona
Original Zero appears as a sub-boss in The King of Fighters 2001 and is the real Zero; Zero in The King of Fighters 2000 is his clone. He was created because the supervising designer to his character claimed to be dissatisfied with Zero's design in 2000, hinting that ideas such as his black lion pet and this newer design were designed but not used. He is recognized by developers to be the first boss to surpass Krizalid -the supervising designer's previous character- in both fighting prowess and presence. The bladed portion of his armor has been called a "shirt" or a "cape," but seems to resemble a Javanese male sarong, only with blades sews into the lining.
