      Liu Kang literally states that he discovered his arcana as soon as he took the marking from the guy selling orphans. Why can't Sonya discover her arcana as soon as she got the marking from Kano?

      So if we treat the "arcana unlock" as a sort of "experience points bar", then filling up said EXP bar before acquiring a mark(much like Sonya and her special forces training), then it makes sense for some people to automatically unlock their arcana upon recieving a mark, wheras others got the mark first and still have to fill up that "arcana unlock" EXP bar to get their arcana.

    I wouldn't say that Sonya being there is a plot hole. They allowed her to stay as a courtesy because as the video points out she did what Liu Kang was supposed to do. She had actually contributed more to Earthrealm's efforts than anyone at that point. Raiden included her in the final battle plan because, well, why not? They were short handed and she wanted to help. Lacking the mark/arcana makes you useless in the tournament, but doesn't mean you can't help outside of it.

      It wasn't even Raiden who send her to fight. He took everyone to that void to not get killed, and leaving Sonya behind would doomed her. When making the strategy, it was Cole who chose who fights who, and gave Kano to Sonya knowing that she already defeated him.

    Is Sonya really a plot hole? Sonya was investigating the tournament. She ultimately finds a way to get there and ultimately brings Cole and Kano there. While Kung Lao tells her that she's not allowed to train, she's still allowed to stay, and ultimately does so she can support Cole and Jax. When the fighting ultimately begins, Raiden no doubt finds himself responsible for her safety, and also probably considers that she may come in handy in their defenses. Sonya also ultimately proves herself useful when Cole allows her to take on Kano, which gives her a chance to earn her symbol.

    The reasoning behind Sonya not killing kano is the act would have tainted her soul, especially if just to take the mark. Then, she would have turned away from the temple based on that alone. If you played the games, its why ashra could not leave the netherealm. They actually kept to cannon. The writers kept her from killing him until the right moment. There was a chance he cold be good, but ultimately, He was not. At after he became a threat to earthrealm, she was able to defend the realm. So no, she should not have killed him.

This also explains why they helped Kano find his arcana..they had virtually NO other options, as he was 1.) marked and 2.) found his way there on his own.
