Yoshikage Kira makes his gaming debut in the PS3 title, playable as two different characters: His original form and face with [[Killer Queen]] & [[Killer Queen#Secondary Bomb ("Sheer Heart Attack")|Sheer Heart Attack]]; and his awakened form under the identity of "[[Kosaku Kawajiri]]", with Killer Queen, [[Stray Cat]], and access to [[Killer Queen#Tertiary Bomb ("Killer Queen Bites the Dust")|Bites the Dust]]. This makes him one of the only three characters with two incarnations, the others being [[Dio Brando]] and [[Joseph Joestar]]. Both versions of Kira are voiced by Rikiya Koyama, who previously voiced [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]] once in the [[Phantom Blood (PS2 Game)|''Phantom Blood'']] game.

'''Yoshikage Kira''' makes his gaming debut in the PS3 title {{ASB}}, playable as two different characters: His original form and face with [[Killer Queen]] and [[Sheer Heart Attack]]; and his awakened form under the identity of "[[Kosaku Kawajiri]]", with Killer Queen, [[Stray Cat]], and access to [[Bites the Dust]]. This makes him one of the only three characters with two incarnations, the others being [[Dio Brando]] and [[Joseph Joestar]]. Both versions of Kira are voiced by [[Rikiya Koyama]], who previously voiced [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]] in the [[Phantom Blood (PS2 Game)|''Phantom Blood'']] game and [[Phantom Blood (Film)|film]].


Both Kiras are part of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "''Stand''" Style, being able to turn Killer Queen on/off, changing movesets, and having access to the '''Stand Rush''' ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with their Stand.

If Yoshikage Kira and "Kosaku Kawajiri" are matched against each other, they will have a special dialogue before the fight: The original Kira will remark how 'Kosaku'-Kira's aura is similar to his, while 'Kosaku'-Kira will be shocked to see his past self. If the original Kira wins, he claims that only he should be making bombs. If 'Kosaku'-Kira wins, he wonders if the encounter was an after-effect of "Bites The Dust".


Kira's original form appears as a DLC character included with pre-orders and first edition prints of the original Japanese release of the game. For the overseas release in the US, pre-ordering the game from Club Namco would also get players a free download code for Kira, whilst for EU players, pre-ordering the game from any retailer in that region would get the player both Kira and Shigekiyo Yangu as well. Yoshikage Kira has 950 HP.

Latest revision as of 18:27, 1 March 2025


Yoshikage Kira makes his gaming debut in the PS3 title All-Star Battle, playable as two different characters: His original form and face with Killer Queen and Sheer Heart Attack; and his awakened form under the identity of "Kosaku Kawajiri", with Killer Queen, Stray Cat, and access to Bites the Dust. This makes him one of the only three characters with two incarnations, the others being Dio Brando and Joseph Joestar. Both versions of Kira are voiced by Rikiya Koyama, who previously voiced Will Anthonio Zeppeli in the Phantom Blood game and film.

Both Kiras are part of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, being able to turn Killer Queen on/off, changing movesets, and having access to the Stand Rush ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with their Stand.

Kira's original form appears as a DLC character included with pre-orders and first edition prints of the original Japanese release of the game. For the overseas release in the US, pre-ordering the game from Club Namco would also get players a free download code for Kira, whilst for EU players, pre-ordering the game from any retailer in that region would get the player both Kira and Shigekiyo Yangu as well. Yoshikage Kira has 950 HP.

Costumes

Yoshikage Kira's Costume A is taken from his debut in Chapter 69 of Diamond is Unbreakable. His second color scheme for Costume A also originates from the cover of Volume 38.

Sheer Heart Attack can be temporarily slowed by Koichi Hirose specifically, if the latter uses ACT3's "S-H-I-T" skill or his HHA on it, which will also subsequently affect Kira himself. SHA continues to be unblockable and able to hit him if Koichi makes contact, but will remain sluggish and unable to leap at him until Koichi gets a certain distance away from it, or hits Kira to nullify the bomb altogether.

Gameplay Overview

Kira is a rushdown character who utilizes powerful bombs in his offense to deliver tremendous damage. While able to apply constant pressure, he also wields various ranged attacks and counters/reversals to help gain more opportunities to use his Stand's power. Both of Kira's primary bomb abilities launch the opponent and deal high damage, offering very effective combos when Heart Heat is spent. Notably, his HHA has great utility, functioning as a strong anti-air, reversal, and an attack that can catch a Dodging opponent all at once. Due to its unblockable nature, his GHA is a powerful tool that can even be guaranteed when attacking an opponent's guard without leaving them time to recover and dodge.

Kira's effectiveness diminishes greatly when at range as both of his skills able to attack from a distance are easily avoided or interrupted. This requires him to maintain good spacing to both remain at full strength and at the same time keep himself safe from his own explosions. In the absence of his HHA, Kira also lacks an anti-air attack and reversal, making it difficult to break the opponent's own offense unless with a well-placed counter. Because of this, zoners and other characters that can perform well at mid-range, as well as those who approach from the air can cause him much grief.

Yoshikage Kira performs at his best when the opponent is down or on the defensive, giving him time to set up his bombs. Through careful detonation, he leaves the opponent little in the way of defending against his attacks. Wielding Killer Queen's deadly power, Kira unleashes formidable extended combos and devastating explosions. Kira is widely considered one of the highest-damaging characters in the game, able to decisively finish battles in only a few interactions.
