'''Goenitz''' (ゲーニッツ, ''Gēnittsu'') is the last boss of ''[[The King of Fighters '96]]''. He is the head of the [[Hakkesshu|Four Heavenly Kings]] of [[Orochi]]; with the power to command wind, his full title as a heavenly king is '''''Goenitz of the Wildly-Blowing Wind''''' ({{Furigana|吹|ふ}}き{{Furigana|荒|すさ}}ぶ{{Furigana|風|かぜ}}のゲーニッツ, ''Fukisusabu Kaze no Gēnittsu'').

==Development==
Goenitz took his namesake from [[w:c:yamato:Goenitz|an alien character]] in the anime, ''[[w:c:yamato:Space Battleship Yamato|Space Battleship Yamato]]''. His Heavenly King title is a reference to the 1979 opening theme of ''[[Wikipedia:Cyborg 009|Cyborg 009]]''.

==Personality==
Though influenced by Orochi, he retains much of the mannerisms and civility of a priest, which is reflected in his winning poses and his elegant, somewhat flowery speech, ending most of his sentences with desu, which conveys politeness in Japanese. He seems to be respected by the New Faces Team (as they are allies), and reciprocates the gesture with a bow, as seen in [[The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match|''KOF '98 UM'']] and [[The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match|''KOF 2002 UM'']].

He sports the same "messiah" attitude that aspires to "save" people and dispatch disbelievers, and likewise, is harsh towards unholy and demonic beings, and anything that defies nature.

==Powers==
*'''Slashing Hands''' - Goenitz's hands can cut and pierce as if they were knives.
*'''Aerokinesis''' - Goenitz has full control over the air and wind currents.
**'''Control Wind''' - Goenitz can create and stop wind currents.
**'''Create Hurricane''' - Goenitz can create hurricanes and tornadoes out of nowhere.
**'''Cutting Wind''' - Goenitz can create blades of air.
**'''Translocation''' - Goenitz can move himself to somewhere nearby by transporting his molecules through the air.
**'''Flight''' - Goenitz can fly.
*'''Orochi Power''' - Goenitz has some control over the Orochi power.
**'''Give Power''' - Goenitz can give humans Orochi power, as he did with Rugal.
**'''Activate Riot of the Blood''' - As a Heavenly King, he can activate the Riot of the Blood in those who have part Orochi blood, like what he did with Leona (as a child) and Iori before disappearing to his presumed death.

==Fighting Style==
Goenitz fights mainly with his control over wind with little concern for utilizing any established combative techniques. Like the other Four Kings, his moves are all written using the Cyrillic alphabet into romaji. His trademark move, ''Yo no Kaze'', is a tornado that comes up at random, slicing any foe it touches, done while uttering his infamous catchphrase "Is it here?" (ここですか？, ''Koko desu ka?'').

Goenitz seems to posses an 'enhanced' version of a fighting style used by a main character like with the other three kings; in this case, he has shown to possess a "true" version of the Yasakani-Style martial art; namely, some of Iori Yagami's moves done in a different fashion, such as the "true versions" of Iori's ''Aoihana'', ''Kototsuki'' and ''Ya Otome/Maiden Masher''. While the other kings of Orochi sport one signature super from each member of the Japan Team, Goenitz has had much on the speculation of the actual origins of his copied techniques. Though it hints that most of the Yasakani-now-Yagami's techniques ever since the curse, have added most of the Orochi's techniques to their regime, with Goenitz being an original practitioner.

However, the Ya Otome out of Iori's techniques is the only one that has been originally granted by Orochi himself to his clan (barring his ''Aoihana'' and ''Kototsuki''), meaning Goenitz uses a true version of one of Orochi's gifts.

==Trivia==
*While the strange naming of his leitmotif hasn't been confirmed, some have claimed it may be a joke on Goenitz's hairstyle.
**Oddly, his hairstyle also resembles Ryuji Yamazaki's, a character who debuted in Fatal Fury 3 and later revealed to be a [[Hakkesshu]] late in KOF97.
*There have been many sources claiming that Goenitz's full name is '''Leopold Goenitz''' (レオポルド・ゲーニッツ, ''Reoporudo Gēnittsu''). This has yet to be confirmed by SNK.
* In Gamest's 1997 Heroes Collection, Goenitz ranked 46 of the staff's favorite characters. He shared the spot with seven other characters, including [[Fighter's History (series)|''Fighter's History'']] character [[Makoto Mizoguchi]], and ''Street Fighter'' character, [[w:c:streetfighter:Akuma|Akuma/Gouki]].
