- A deep dive into Fatal Fury's lore to figure out once and for all who the parents of Terry & Andy are.
Notes: This video takes some creative liberty with the Fatal Fury lore so if you're an absolute canon purist you'll probably want to steer clear.

Shoryugame had stated that SNK developers stated that they had planned to reveal Andy as Geese's son. At the last minute, they had decided to scrap the idea and left Andy and Terry as brothers.
What a shame. That would've been amazing
@@DaPhenomAce I mean, I like it this way lol.
They set it up for us to obviously see he was one of, if not both of their father. If they scrapped it at the last minute what a shame. All the clues are there. Something in Terry's soul made him try to save Geese. Geese probably realized a white guy this strong had to have his blood, put two and two together, and decided he rather die than face the truth of the situation. "I have just been beaten by my bastard son, who I have been enemies with since I killed my fellow apprentice and his adoptive father." (Or real father if their mom messed with Jeff first and then Geese, as often does happen in Japanese stories. 2 rivals, one girl theory.)
@@DeWente69 You make a good point. I never thought of Geese also being Terry's father, which would make Terry the brother of Rock. Let us consider that Rock sees Terry as a father figure lol.
I always thought Jeff was of Chinese heritage, since he is usually seen in a kung-fu outfit.
Another connection to Andy and Geese is they both are drawn to Japanese culture.
I agree on this theory. If Vergil in DMC can have a kid just randomly outta nowhere we dunno how many seeds Geese actually had over the years. This is the reason why I like the Fatal Fury ova that scene with master Tung fu is great shows how Andy an emotional man cannot be trusted with the technique like Geese. Also Andy is pretty much the Vegeta very powerful, but always 2nd.
Geese is like Dio, it's literally stated that he has many illegitimate children
Oh hey! What’s up man?
I like the theory. Terry and Andy could still be half-brothers though. It'd be totally in-character for Geese to steal Jeff's wife/girlfriend out of jealousy because he couldn't steal his moves.
Why did the girlfriend cheat for? You know?
@@anthonybryant8695 My idea that's the most charitable towards Jeff's lover is that Geese forced her to break up with Jeff and enter a relationship with himself by threatening to kill Jeff (and possibly also Terry) if she refused.
Or Geese just raped her.
My guess is that Terry has the looks if his mother while Andy has the father's?
Just putting my own experience since me and my older brother is like that, his looks is from our mom while I look like our dad.
This theory actually sounds like it could be true, nice work!
Andy was the one who got that “evil” EX version in real bout special…
Mai wondered if she had something like that inside of her, I've wondered what her EX personality would be like. Blue Mary became a dominatrix, and Billy Kane became a reformed man. Are these alternate personalities canon, and can they be induced? I think Mai's EX would be like one of her Days of Memories forms, the office lady who becomes a vigilante. What do you think she'd become, and who do you think could make the EX changes happen? And has anyone posted this fanfic anywhere before?
Personally, I'm fine with the idea that the only reason Terry and Andy are both adopted is that it makes their circumstances when Jeff is killed even lower. They were already orphans before Jeff, and after their sole caretaker is murdered they'd have no one but each other in their lives, and also no one else to turn to that might set them back on the path of a normal life.
The question of who their parents are...just doesn't matter. Unlike the obsession with lineage that underlines many fictional characters, and the power that comes with it, Terry and Andy just became strong because they had to. They were strong because they needed to be to accomplish their goals, not because they actually belonged to an ancient clan, or had incredible fighting abilities passed down through their bloodline. They're not Kusanagis or Yagamis, or Howards for that matter, they're not Mishimas, they don't have Orochi blood, or the Devil Gene, or ancient treasures. They're just Terry and Andy Bogard, and they really wanted to beat the shit out of Geese Howard.
Also, I always thought the Senpuuken was way too goofy to be Hakkyoukuseiken's ultimate secret technique. The fact that it keeps coming up as such is nothing but people aping the original OVA instead of coming up with a better idea. The fact that it was the move that beat Geese in the OVA always felt really out of place, it'd be like if the SF2 animated movie ended with Ryu and Ken beating M.Bison by doing hundred hand slaps instead of hadouken.
This video is great because even if someone thinks you’re out of your mind, you know SNK would totally pull some shit like this.
And it wouldn’t even be unreasonable because Geese would absolutely be that much of an asshole.
Damn, Andy has the potential to be one of Snk's greatest villains, his backstory fits a lot with a villain's origin and his similarities to Geese are huge, it would be interesting to see Andy transform into someone similar to Geese, the man who he hated and swore revenge.
Also, Andy has an EX version that sounds like an Evil Andy...
It is literally states that Terry cannot be Jeff's biological son. The SNK wiki says both Terry and Andy are adopted.
2:33
@@JohnSexDD also reminder that Andy and Terry aren't even blood related. The only similarity is that they blond. Their only family connection is being adopted by Jeff bogard.
It;s a theory he made for fun. He's not saying any of this is true. For all we know Terry and Andy were just abandoned by their biological parents or they were killed somehow.
as for terry we dont know for sure, but it was confirmed long ago by the creator of the series that they had a plan to make andy geese son and make the focal point around a brother gone rouge after finding out the truth. this was insinuated in the ending of the first ova and the second ova. however the idea was scapped at the last minute due to the popularity of the trio and the development of andy and mai among fans in japan. people really forget that at one time the fatal fury series was the best selling fighting game series in Japan. the story and the characters were popular as shit. snk was making butt loads of money off the franchise, however they squandered it developing too many other failed properties. its also the reason they gave us the Easter egg of evil andy in real bout special. his dialogue and move set were dark and destructive. ex andy or evil andy was such a great character we never got again.
Fun facts: In KAISERWAVE (an official SNK Twitch Show), two things were revealed during an interview with Youichiro Soeda (an SNK staff member that worked on the Fatal Fury series):
- Terry and Andy are not blood related. They only refer to each other as brothers because they grew closer to each other.
- Geese was confirmed to not be either Terry or Andy's father.
So right off the bat, we can deconfirm the Geese theory lol
I'm aware officially he's not either of their fathers...It's just I don't believe it lol
Hoh, oh, thank God. Andy Howard was sending me. At least he's just deuteragonist Bogard 🙂👍
Oh didn't know they had this interview thanks!
Dang, I really like this theory. So I had to go watch the find the interview for myself.
According to the interview, Soeda was an animator. He was not in charge of the lore. So he only knows as much as the fans down it comes to the story.
Maybe things will come to light if there is a Garo Mark of the Wolves 2?
SNK a Multiverse lol
I want to see where all games could possibly interlink, and give a good spectrum on all character tier
I can fully believe that Andy is Geese's son, but the Jeff-Terry biological connection still seems pretty flimsy.
totally fair, that's definitely where I start tip toeing into fanfiction territory. I just think it'd be neat.
Absolutely incredible video, really nicely put together all around.
Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks, man!
this is one of those times where I thank the CZcams algorithm, excellent video i really enjoy it
Andy being 5'7" vs Krauser 6'7" could easily be explained by nutrition. If Krauser is from a rich noble family he probably should have had a healthy surplus diet, whereas Andy being an orphan in his childhood might have truncated his growth.
this is the last thing I expected someone to comment about LOL
I believe it is character design. They wanted to make Andy look that way because if I'm not mistook, Terry is 6'0 or 6'1. So yeah Andy's is done based on design.
All of Shinkiros faces look exactly the same.
It's not possible for Terry and Andy to be half-brothers since they both have the same face and hair color. Good fan theory 👌 but the idea of both being Geese's sons just fits more for me narrative wise, especially with it being hard fact that Jeff adopted them both from the streets.
Another banger video. You put so much thought into these lore or theory videos that I can't take my eyes off of them
Thanks bro, I really wanna get this kinda stuff out there because SNK lore has so much depth that a lot of people aren't really digging for
@@JohnSexDD Sorry for the last reply. But I agree
Painted Andy with an epic brush at the end there!
I love how much thought this puts me in o.o really your KoF/FF/AoF and forgive me for missing any others ^^;, knowledge. Took me by surprise that this was an Andy focus video but not disregarding Terry, Jeff or Geese! You don’t see creativity in videos like that most days!
I also had a good laugh too, wish I could say more but my mind is just blown up with new head canon thoughts x.x
Love this video, I’m excited to see the next one! (This is also the first video I’ve seen here ^^; so I got some catching up to do)
Now I really want this to be true because it would give a really nice story to be form around this (Like there is a gap around the “last” fatal fury and garou so maybe they could have that in that time Andy found out via something that he is actually geese’s son and terry isn’t his brother but despite learning this since he lived his whole life thinking terry is his brother he doesn’t want to go geese’s route but instead leaves and becomes the master of hokutomaru in garou)
This is such an amazing theory. This would make such an amazing story and would push his character to greater heights. I have always liked Andy and felt like he never reached his true potential.
W video topic: Bit of lore review for the notis
Isn't it heavily implied that after Teaching them the Way of the Two Wolves,
Jefu-Sensei' was to confront Geese himself, and perished in the fight.
Terry hates Geese for the sole reason that he murdered all his parents, and Stepfather.
Real dark segment; I tried encapsulating that anger in the introduction before their fight in Atrocious™.
I actually like Andy, people need to put respect on his name.
9:17 i need the sause
Don't actually know it, I grabbed this image from an SNK thread years ago lol
Yep. In a nutshell. Very Star Wars-ish. They gave us enough clues without ever actually saying it. Geese was a powerful gangster, their birth mother was a beautiful but tragic white lady who died some very tragic typical poor prostitute related death. (Very similar to Geese's own mother, being a side chick to a powerful man and died a poor death.) Geese never cared to find out if he made any kids in the streets. She probably definitely didn't bother telling him. This is the art of story telling. Every one staying close and related. This is why Terry tried to stop Geese from falling. This is why Terry actually adopted his much younger brother.
You do know with this version of the theory rock and Terry wouldn't be related.
@@fightingmedialounge519 How are they not related if they secretly have the same father?
@@DeWente69 I literally explained this in the last comment. In this version theory states that Andy is the son of geese while Terry is the son of Jeff.
so Mai is in love of Andy Howard.... omg...
Damn, I just realized... Terry and Andy were orphans, then Jeff died and they became DOUBLE ORPHANS
Nice video! Honestly, that theory is arguably so popular, that it's always fun to think about, in my opinion. Though I might agree with Andy being Geese's biological son, I have a different idea, for when it comes to Terry. What if, Geese had another brother, other than Krauser, who was older than Geese, and actually a very cool and sympathetic guy?
He likes to fight, but also settled down to live a more peaceful life, though obviously still training from time to time. He is also close friends with Jeff Bogard, and taught him his own moves, which Jeff would use later on. The older brother of Geese, would turn out to be the biological father of Terry, and Geese himself, would be the biological father of Andy, making Terry and Andy cousins.
Rock would then also be Terry's adoptive son and biological cousin, and Andy's adoptive nephew and biological brother.
Also, Krauser and Geese's older brother's name could be Terra, which would be funny and symbolic, since Terra's son's name is Terry.
Man the audio phrasing on the second thesis was very confusing😅.
Considering how angsty Rock is about his "evil blood", I can't help but think that a new character (who is clearly not evil) with all of Geese's moves and Andy will team up at some point to drill it in his head that neither his power nor his blood are responsible for his outbursts of rage.
Either that, or the contrast between Rock and the other two will serve as an early hint that one of the Scrolls of Immortality was about body-swapping and Geese is slowly taking over Rock.
Send this shit to SNK NOW!!! 🤯
Good video :D
In my opinion for those aware of and pressed to find out the answer to this riddle any reveal will be unsatisfying and for those casuals who don’t know ALL the nuance of the lore a revelation would change what they enjoy about the lore.
This is really interesting! Still looking forward to the sequel of Mark of the Wolves.
I feel like I've seen this exact theory before. It's a fun one, just with some logistical issues.
There is a manga series where Terry fights a demonic brainwashed Andy Bogard. I like your theory video. I had a theory that the bogards biological dad was in the 1989 SNK fighter Street Fighter. Player 1 was a karate fighter & player 2 was a wrestler.
Depending on who you ask, the first player is meant to be Takuma. So...
@@JamalService2000 Thanks, I believe the biological father is the player 2 wrestler character from Street Smart.
If you think about that their adopt father is some relate with geese.Gees probably drop his family when he go the way of power.That why Terry adopt father is not going to let 1 woman and two kid alone
What do you think about Shadow Andy? Do you think it's related to his real power, evil side, or is just a representation of his jealous and anger?
All three, I'd say. I believe that the EX versions of characters in the Real Bout games are tongue in cheek hints to other sides of them, like sadistic Mary or villain Andy. Even Billy being a lonely goofy fuck I can see being realistic, especially after Geese dies.
i massively dissagree with the terry being weaker than andy i think tung just sees more evil in andy that really doesnt prove hes stronger terry really has more feats and wins and andys power being similar than geese does not make him stronger since terry beat geese three times but opinions are opinions
All good bro, it's all a matter of opinion yeah
I don't want this to be true, but when I saw Neowave 100% thought Young Geese was Andy. You might be on the money.
cool video , if that theory true can be great story for garou mark of the wolf 2 where andy in roaster and help rock to control his power and be more unique
Where did you find the version of Andy's theme you used in the background of this vid?
Smash Ultimate
Jeff Bogard was really Marie Howard's brother and Terry and Andy's uncle. Geese is their biological father.
The whole Andy and Terry sitation remembers me a lot to Kiryu and Nishikiyama from yakuza. Heck, it would even be a nice plot twist if andy turned into a villain because everybody keeps telling him that his brother is better, just how nishiki did (it's kind of generic, i know, and its the classic "what if we make this character important again by giving him an edgy makeover" but dreaming is free) .
It's Geese Howard. Rock is Terry and Andy's younger brother.
I just realized something. Oda came back to SNK because he wants to make a new Fatal Fury game and he made KOF14 which has Jeff Bogard in one of the endings. That can't be a coincidence. Maybe we will get more of Jeff's back story in the new Fatal Fury. So maybe Andy and Terry will be more touched up in their connections to both Geese, Jeff, and Rock
what about the mother?
Jeff could return due to Verse's defeat.
Souichiro Soeda (SNK artist), during a Live in 2019, received the question from the chat if Terry and Andy, even being adopted by Jeff, are blood-related brothers.
Soeda-san confirmed Terry and Andy are NOT blood related.
"So...during one of @krispykaiser 's streams, @SOESOE_329 came in for an surprise interview with the chat, and a question he got was if Terry and Andy are blood related. To everyone's surprise, he confirmed they are NOT blood related.
I was in shock lol

Twitt by @RaitoADV, Oct/11/2019
Copy & Paste because YT don't allow me to put the link of the Twitt.
I'd always assumed that Andy was geeses Sun especially after art of fighting 2 came out and geese head the suits on. Geeses character art in kof 15 look very similar to the art of art of fighting we will figure out more to the to the story.
Terry and Andy are not biological brothers. Jeff adopted Andy from Italy . Terry on the other hand is from America. It was confirmed in the original SNK Fatal Fury handbook
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥OKAY!
Terry never uses this attack in the games. Only in the Ova and kof series. I would feel more emotionally invested in the technique if it was used in fatal fury to kill geese.
This is a sound theory my friend. One i never entertained myself...
Short answer: the father is
GEESE
I am hoping that the new Fatal Fury game will touch upon Andy having some relation to Geese. Maybe Kain knows something they don't.
So what your saying is that Rock’s adopted uncle is also his biological brother. That has to be one of, if not the most bizarre family tree I have ever seen, and I’ve seen the Joestar tree from Jojo’s.
Sex god where do I find this AOF 2 manga? I need more of that Jeff design
If geese is Andy’s father, Then that means that Andy and Rock are brothers
I’m two years late but, excellent video! Really hadn’t thought about a connection between Andy and Geese until now. This makes so much sense 😱
Thinking about it now, I wonder who the mother could be. If Terry and Andy have the same Mom, they could still be biological brothers. But then that would mean she had an affair with Geese or Jeff, which might add to why Geese wanted to kill Jeff. Just speculation but I wonder if she could be a new character… now I’m thinking about it too much 🤣 Here’s hoping City of the Wolves gives us some answers for the lore!
SNK adamantly claims that Andy has no connection to Geese and that there never even was one in the first place so sadly I think they've completely abandoned this concept :( but I will always champion this theory because it is awesome
Glad you enjoyed man, I also like your Castlevania vids!
@@JohnSexDD That’s unfortunate, would’ve tied a lot of aspects about the Fatal Fury story together 😢 Agreed, I would be surprised if they didn’t at least consider the idea at some point. Kind of a shame honestly.
& thank you so much bro! Been working on a new video for a while so hopefully I can release it soon 🤣 Should be a fun time!
It all makes sense now but what I still don't get is how the Fatal Fury Team became team Italy in Kof'94. None of them are Italians while Joe is Japanese. Robert Garcia is Italian but is representing team Mexico with 2 Japanese.
I think the team names for 94 are just based on the country the stage is in. None of the Women Fighters are British but their stage is in England so they're Team England lol
What!? Don't tell is actually Geese.
even *i* thought this topic was pretty open and shut; leave it to the studious mr. sex to prove me wrong! fantastic video
THEORY that all it is.
Andy Bogard and Terry Bogard are biological brothers and the reason there's mom is because Jeff impregnated Geese then when Geese didn't get child support he killed Jeff
Jeff or Geese can't have kids by themselves. You'd have to consider who the mother could be... You may get to that but I have to go and come back to the video lol
Terry and Andy are gesse Howard sons
Terry and Andy Father is Geese Howard
Terry and Andy's father will end up being Geese. Its obvious.
There are many characters in KoF and Fatal fury timeline who are much stronger than what they employ in battles.
Meitenkun, Geese, Kula, Oswald, Tung, Ryo, Robert, Kyo, Leona etc etc
and guess what, Andy is in there too...
I know that it is confirmed that andy is not Geese's son, but Andy is technically stronger than terry but he never unlocked his hidden powers. (the dark side if you will) we can see this referenced in many games.
Geese howard 😂😂😂😂😂
Now this video just makes me wish for Jeff Bogard with mix of seppuken and some more refined yet not as wild version of Terry techniques made playable. Not all of course since Terry is mostly self taught and traveled to learn them. Unlike his brother. Also “Nightmare” Andy should be a thing if true. Even if it’s a nice what if MUGEN mod. Honestly this theory just makes me think that they are half brothers and just share the same mother. Furthering the rivalry aspect between Geese and Jeff in another way. Though this also means she is super dead as not only do we have the Bogard family curse, but we also have the Geese woman falling ill to deadly diseases. So yeah yikes.
Them having the same mother is actually pretty interesting, nice idea
I have one question for you? It's about?...... the birth mother's. Of Terry and Andy. Are the Mother? Confirm dead? Will Snk tell us soon? Reply to me?
The only hint we have about their mothers are a gamest article that says that Andy's parents might be from Italy. Not confirmed though!
This video seem very sussy, not sure why?
Andy just needs someone to try and grape mai shiranui. I want to watch this movie again!
So you are saying that terry bleaches his hair and hes really a brunette? At what point did his dad take him aside and tell him he must use his hat to hide his roots for all eternity?
Yep. Considering Ken Masters isn't a natural blonde either, it's not too far-fetched
Also wait, why do people even think that if Jeff had to adopt them,
that Geese would be their father? That'd make Geese old as dirt,
especially since Rocko is 18+, and his *father is Geese.*
That would spike Geese is great grandfather of SNK into stupid levels
of chronological continuity. What's next? Terry Beat Geese at 15? lol
Geese woulda had Andy at around 19, then Rock around 36. I think it works.
Andy Howard. Hahah
That means Rocko would have had to have been orphaned near newborn, Marie'd've had to have superpowers to disappear that fast after physical conception in the early 90's, and that a 17-18-year old Terry Bogard would have had the skill, resource, time, and finance to raise Rocko from a baby lmao
@@Oguyaka. bro I don't know what you're getting at, this theory has no impact on rock's story or place in the timeline at all
I be thinking into where things should fit on speculation. Can't think too hard lol
Geese is not their father. Geese is born in 1950's, possibly 1952 (Sagat's age or older).
I had no clue people were this Daft in the Playmore community;
Maybe inbreeding? Thanks for shedding light 🙂 I mean, it's right there in the lore;
You should be caught up to speed if you own a SNES, and a NEO-GEO Hitbox.
The Bogados beat up Geese bc he's a Slum Lord P.O.S. who killed their parents and FightCoach,
Which left his son orphaned when he disappeared after bad man fall off building: bc his mother, Marie Heinlein, again heavily implied by Kain R.Heinlein, Rocko's Uncle, timeskip to brown jacket Terry -- fled into witness protection from family heirloom to escape the clutches of Geese, who she knew desired rule, would not be stopped if Rocko was raised for Evil, and most importantly, left poor Kain, well, poor. He then became the villain who invested in Grant to use force in generating his own financial profit, when it's revealed as Rocko defeats him, that he's only done everything to 1. Find Geese's son, 2. Rejoin his sister Marie 3. Stop Geese from expanding his tyranny. Kain is boss 👍
