Wait, did they actually said this? Weird, when his previous 3D appearance had it 2006.
First off, it has two different buckles yet appears to be one single belt, second, that single belt is absurdly long. Another thing, why does his pants have belt loops around his legs in the first place?
But can he do a JCVD split kick??
Pretty muchDon't forget: Whoever designed that character must be a genius.
Bondage pants are sweet!
So, recently with Sakurai praising KOF's Iori Yagami's design, my twitter TL is filled to the brim with Iori art. Even having looked at the character extensively for every KOFXIII tourney, I've just now started to notice something about his design that I'm really confused about.
Just what is going on with the belt around his legs?

Another thing, why does his pants have belt loops around his legs in the first place? Wouldn't this also restrain his fighting ability since he can only extend his legs so far? Also, what is this even supposed to convey? Like, how does this play into any visual motif? What is the point of this belt?
Bondage pants exist in real life. I love them.You just noticed this? It's been bothering me since the first day I laid eyes on him. How does he not trip over himself with that leg-binding belt?
Animeee~
Although it never comes up in game at all, Iori is a musician, so I always thought his exotic look just goes alongside that.
Less anime and more real life fashion in this case.You just noticed this? It's been bothering me since the first day I laid eyes on him. How does he not trip over himself with that leg-binding belt?

I dunno if he dislikes violence, but basically most of his violent urges are from the Orochi blood trying to control him. He's more of the guy who is not interested in fighting than outright loving or hating it.I was reading TVTrope and it looks like Iori claims to dislike violence, too
lmao
It's a crime that they made Iori a musician but not a saxophone player.Although it never comes up in game at all, Iori is a musician, so I always thought his exotic look just goes alongside that.

It's so obvious!
Some 15 years ago I heard from someone that he uses the belt to handicap himself.
That's been my canon since, I've never bothered to look for that, there are definitely more weird and interesting stuff in KOF

Ok, your user name is read as K Dash Dash. It's intentional, but just kinda bugs me lol.
I'm familiar with them, but why would anyone wear them to a fight? How are you supposed to high kick?!I can't believe no-one here is familiar with bondage pants. I had so many criss cross leg belts in the early 2000s.

Exactly my thought. It's been there for 24 years.You've never noticed that? I'll assume you've never seen Iori before.
I don't think it feels elastic at all - It's not even stretched. No matter his leg position, it's always shown with a bit of a sag. The belt simply changes length based on the animation - If you lower his leg to the ground the belt should be dragging on the floor, which it doesn't when he's standing still. The design is so stupid, they had to animate around it.
everyone in this picture looks cool as fuck
