Ash is the final boss in The King of Fighters XIII as "Ash driven insane by the Spiral of Blood" (血の螺旋に狂うアッシュ, Chi no Rasen ni Kuruu Asshu) (also known as Evil Ash) with power stolen from Saiki, who is trying to possess him. He ultimately sacrifices himself to destroy Saiki.[11] While Ash's memories start disappearing from almost every people who knew him, he still makes cameos in some endings.[12]
