Moon... (
| All appearances |  +  or

Description
K9999 slams the ground, which creates a large psychic barrier around him in an arc. This protects him from both the front and back.
Strategy
Moon... comes out relatively quickly, but the only problem with it is that the motion is not that easy to do on reaction. Of course, a common way to bypass this input was to perform 2 half-circle backs-into-down-forward (
/63214632143). It also negates normal projectiles on start-up.

Trivia
- This move was translated as "How about the Moon?" in The King of Fighters 2002.
- Like many of K9999's attacks, this move directly comes from the anime film Akira, specifically based on when Tetsuo Shima created a barrier to attack Kei.
- In The King of Fighters 2002, K9999 screams "You brat!!!" (ガーキーどーもー！！！ in Japanese) while performing this move. This line also comes from Akira, where Tetsuo calls The Espers a bunch of brats.
