Renegade III: The Final Chapter[]
River City Girls 2[]
In this continuity, Mr. K is reimagined to be a detective. He is voiced by Craig Lee Thomas in English and remains uncredited in the Japanese dub.
Mr. K is seen on the top floor of the destroyed River City High inside of the principal's office. Upon talking to him, the protagonists question if they're allowed to be in the room, to which Mr. K assures they're allowed to stay as he believes there is a mystery to be solved. Confused by his appearance, the group question if he's truly the principal and believes that he instead looks like a low budget superhero. Mr. K briefly introduces himself without giving any insight on his name's meaning, though the group suggest that the name "Mr. E" would've worked better, though Mr. K responds that he's already bought a web domain. Mr. K then offers a reward if the group solves his mystery.
Upon solving the mystery, Mr. K appears shocked that the group was able to solve it so fast and compliments their aptitude for solving mysteries. Mr. K goes on to claim that he's trained the group well, though they refute his claim by pointing out that he's never trained them on anything. Mr. K ignores the comment and sends out the protagonists to solve more mysteries in order to make River City a safer place.
Trivia[]
