Hansen is Awesome Kung Lao either has an infinite amount of hats or his hat teleports back on his head (unless he's dead). EDIT: It beats me to know why Kung Lao doesn't cut himself; maybe he wears gloves that don't cut his hands?
Honestly, while Raiden couldn't have prevented Kung-Lao's death as he likely didn't expect that to happen, he could have stopped Sub-Zero from becoming a robot, he kept Smoke from it then he just stands there when Sub-Zero is taken. Also, I find it sad what happens to Raiden. In the old timeline he was well respected and everyone followed him, he was basically like Superman where everyone knew he'd save the day, then Armageddon happens and he sends a message to his past self and this causes Raiden to get confused and wonder what all is supposed to happen which leads everyone to doubt him and him accidentally getting everyone killed while he and Liu-Kang were talking with the Elder God's. Then everyone hates him, Scorpion calls him a liar (in actuality, he never lied to Scorpion, he offered to resurrect his clan if Scorpion didn't kill Bi-Han but Scorpion does), all the revenants hate him and in some of the interactions it is clear that most of the heroes find him useless now. To top it all off, both times he sacrifices himself in an attempt to save the world, he ends up becoming evil himself. Raiden was the last on to stand against Shao-Kahn, and he prevented the end of the world and his thanks is that everyone either hates him or mistrusts him and now he is evil.
MysteriousTomJenkins Well, Sonya and Johnny stuck by Raiden and chose to continue fighting alongside him, even trusting him to help fight. Bo Rai Cho still sees him as a friend, and even Jax defended Raiden when Revenant Liu Kang bad-mouthed him, despite being one of the fighters murdered because of Raiden's choices.
@@fightingmedialounge519 If he did, why didn't he call it out? If he actually did see him walk towards him I feel like he would have did more than just stand around.
I'm so mad Kung Lao never got turned back from being a Revenant like Sub-Zero, Jax, and Scorpion did. Like, what are the writers at Netherrealm studios trying to do by keeping him evil?
They might Kill off Him, Liu Kang and Kitana for good next game as playable characters and just plan on keeping their spirits around or some BS like that. Raiden might even die who knows
J KW I feel your pain, Liu Kang is my favorite character, they already tried to kill him off once to replace him and it failed. Now it seems they are trying to replace him again, this time with a overhyped overrated teen girl in Cassie Cage
He's still a revenant in that ending, he's just a pseudo-revenant ala Scorpion. You know, an undead warrior full of rage and vengeance, with the sentience to think for himself, therefore having a semblance of humanity. Think Scorpion if Scorpion could attack Quan Chi.
@@oLogicalYT Yeah and i found that weird since Jade always seemed like the third and forgetable wheel to Kitana (The most important one in the Story) and especially Mileena (The kind of cute fan favorite)
I feel like they should have made kung Lao the next Liu kang by having him beat the deadly alliance, then have him be the hero for deception, Armageddon was good the way it was
Get Money Raiden's, Liu Kang's, and Kotal Khan's tower ending fits right before the end credit of story mode. So I believe at least most of the tower endings are canon.
You should have mentioned the tower endings for MKX, where they say that Kung Jin helped Lao fight off the evil grip on his mind and now he's off fighting evil again
I remember years ago I was playing mortal combat on ps2 and the day that I got it my friend came over and we did co-op and the first Charecter I ever played as was Kung Lao
I wonder how Kenshi and the troopers could survive in the nether realm didn't it say that "you can only survive in the nether realm only if you have a evil taint in your soul"
I know MKSM is actually recognized as somewhat canon imo as it was 'mentioned' in MK9, in the part where Raiden said to someone he "sent Liu Kang and Kung Lao on a quest to free the spirits of their ancestors." which I thought was kind of the whole essence of MKSM.
@John Glen Noob is Bi-Han, The Former Sub-Zero who was killed and turned into a sort of revenant then Bi-Han's Brother Kuai Luang took on the identity of Sub Zero.
plz do scorpion pt 2 and i will go around give u a shout out i under stand you put a lot of time into this but another thing can you do history can u do cod characters and others
Missed the part where it says he is assisted by Kung Jin to fight his inner demon after Shinnok's defeat. Not sure if its cannon but Liu Kangs ending was so I won't be surprised if its the same for Lao.
Also, at the end of Kung Lao's ladder it says we was in the Netherrealm wandering until Kung Jin found him and the Shaolin force was strong that Quan Chi's curse and he was freed.
Am I the only one who wishes that was canon and that somewhere along the timeframe of the next MK we can have Kung Lao back because of Kung Jin? Liu Kang will mak a good villain versus Raiden but I hope Lao comes back.
Kung Lao is highly underrated
Just like u
Yet he's still my fave mk character
OHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm i don't think he's underrated, Kung Lao is a fan favorite too
JoeBro1211 Savage bro he literally the best, he’s my all time favourite fighter
I still feel like Kung Lao doesn't get enough credit
Same
and can take The Champion!
And he gets his neck snapped in mk9
me too
Ur right
Kung Lao is the best MK character! He's my favorite anyway.
demiusofficial he’s definitely one of the most unique! A hat with a blade? So badass :D
Smoke!!!!!!!!
Jaylan Hilliard fuck smoke
Wooooo calm down guys it’s his opinion
No Scorpion
Awesome!! Kung Lao! Hats off to you HBTW!!
I see what you did
Hansen is Awesome Kung Lao either has an infinite amount of hats or his hat teleports back on his head (unless he's dead).

+Armorlocker014 it is magic,it does teleport back to him.
manny Ndorleh okay thnx
Armorlocker014 np man
Nice Kung Lao is my main in MKX and I think he is such a unique character! Can't wait for Raiden tho :)
He's my favorite character too.

Raiden saw shao Khan walk up behind kung lao.
@@fightingmedialounge519 If he did, why didn't he call it out? If he actually did see him walk towards him I feel like he would have did more than just stand around.
i like Kung lao, hes my fave mk character since i was a kid
I love him too,sadly he gets his necked snapped by the jerk Shao Kahn
Tori me tooo!
shao khan did that so he could kill and take his place in ranks shao khan was just jelous about kung lao because how powerful he was
Mine to
Same I love Kung Loa and Baraka
I'm so mad Kung Lao never got turned back from being a Revenant like Sub-Zero, Jax, and Scorpion did. Like, what are the writers at Netherrealm studios trying to do by keeping him evil?
They might Kill off Him, Liu Kang and Kitana for good next game as playable characters and just plan on keeping their spirits around or some BS like that. Raiden might even die who knows
+Josh Isaac if they fucking do that I will burn every mortal kombat game in all seriousness
J KW I feel your pain, Liu Kang is my favorite character, they already tried to kill him off once to replace him and it failed. Now it seems they are trying to replace him again, this time with a overhyped overrated teen girl in Cassie Cage
Josh Isaac my 2 favorites are kung lao and kitana if they get rid of them I will never play another mk game
***** like 4 real y netherrealm
Kung Lao and Lou Kang became not just friends but Bruhs.
They became bruhs 4 lyfe
+Gameviewnation Gaming
And 4 death
Sammy Lane its liu kang but thats funny.
Hey I'm sam there can only be one
The Kung Kang bromance. The Lao lou lovestory.
Kung Lao looks like a badass in MKD both Hat on his back and his Hat on his head
she amish
YES! My two favorite characters completed (Liu Kang and Kung Lao)
WBTW actually in the Kung Jin ending he actually is freed from the netherrealm and was no longer a revenant with the aid of Kung Jin
Manju Thomas towers ending are most likely non canon
History behind the warrior completely outta topic i give full shits of stryker cause hes like my 2nd fav character
History behind the warrior but in when kung lao wins the tower kung jin does it again no matter wat kung lao turns human again not a revenant
Tickers Gaming
Jax gets shot in his tower ending and killed in sonya, it doesnt make it official or true.
Take it as suttle possible foreshadowing.
He's still a revenant in that ending, he's just a pseudo-revenant ala Scorpion. You know, an undead warrior full of rage and vengeance, with the sentience to think for himself, therefore having a semblance of humanity. Think Scorpion if Scorpion could attack Quan Chi.
ah, jade and kung lao always overshadowed by they're partners Kitana and Lui
RajOfColumbus Kung Lao yes, however I’ve seen a lot of love for Jade
@@oLogicalYT Yeah and i found that weird since Jade always seemed like the third and forgetable wheel to Kitana (The most important one in the Story) and especially Mileena (The kind of cute fan favorite)
I feel like they should have made kung Lao the next Liu kang by having him beat the deadly alliance, then have him be the hero for deception, Armageddon was good the way it was
I hate how they always make kung lao dies lmao , he's actually good ass fuck lol
I want to see him come back. He's one of my favorite characters.
I think Johnny Cage were requested more than Raiden.. Butt no hard feelings. We'll certainly get Johnny Cage after Raiden.
Excellent video as always.
How TF does an injured Jacqui manage to hold off against Smoke, Liu Kang AND Kung Lao? It makes no fucking sense!
Udoka Njoku Plot. Fucking silly plot
The way Kung Lao sneaks into the Tournament in MK 9 is sort of identical to the Shaolin Monks intro.
This is the fastest growing channel I've ever seen. Just a month ago you had 250 subs.
Kung Lao is my main character in all of the mortal kombat games
How about Kung Lao and Kung Jin's ending, where Jin meets Kung Lao and vows to help Kung Lao overcome his revenant self?
Non-Canon
Matthew Ramirez it is said to be.
None of the ladder endings ate canon
Get Money Raiden's, Liu Kang's, and Kotal Khan's tower ending fits right before the end credit of story mode. So I believe at least most of the tower endings are canon.
MrBeast0012 liu kang was already shown ruling nether realm with Kitana as revenants.
Ninja gaiden 2 background at the beginning of the video nice touch bro
Kung Lao always will be my favorite
What gave you the idea of history of behind the warrior cause I love your channel you should have a million subscribers
For years... I didn't realize MK was a continuous story line.. just a good fighting game that I enjoyed..
Kung Lao's combos in MK3/UMK3/MKT were legit.
Kung Lao has always been my favorite Mortal Kombat character he reminds me so much of myself ❤💯
love ur vids. Another thing you can also do as well as history of the characters is tell the stories of the games
Kung Lao is my favourite
Do johnny cage next please
Yes
OK
Yea Kung Lao is some awesome hat throwing guys
*guy
You should have mentioned the tower endings for MKX, where they say that Kung Jin helped Lao fight off the evil grip on his mind and now he's off fighting evil again
Thank you so much! He's my favorite character! You made my day good!
Liu Kang and Kung Lao are the Goku and Vegeta of Mortal Kombat
I love Kung Lao. You did him Justice.
"Must my family be honored now?" -Kung Lao from Shaolin Monks
Damn man. I really like Lao too. Hopefully he can be reunited with the light on the sequel
this is what I was waiting on; right on bro
Much respect for only doing canon stuff, although I did love Shaolin Monks
I used to adore Kung Lao. Now I still love him but he isn't in my Top 5 anymore.
Anyway, he's a fantastic fighter
Sidar Erdem wow I'm not alone. I do like Taven as well
YES.....next week can you do smoke plz he is one of my favorite characters
I remember years ago I was playing mortal combat on ps2 and the day that I got it my friend came over and we did co-op and the first Charecter I ever played as was Kung Lao
Cant Wait For The Next One!!!!
YESSSS NEW ONE YOUR VIDS ARE AMAZING
I love it that he use some line from mk deception opening
I'm watching this in April of 2016. I believe that Kung Lao would have totally win the first MK tournament.
Kung Lao is so fucking hardcore man. He is the definition of wutang skill and shoalin style.
YAS Raiden!! Go video! It sucks Kung Lao kinda gets his butt kicked by everyone though lol
I look forward to these episodes :D
I wonder how Kenshi and the troopers could survive in the nether realm didn't it say that "you can only survive in the nether realm only if you have a evil taint in your soul"
I know MKSM is actually recognized as somewhat canon imo as it was 'mentioned' in MK9, in the part where Raiden said to someone he "sent Liu Kang and Kung Lao on a quest to free the spirits of their ancestors." which I thought was kind of the whole essence of MKSM.
Great video as always. It's always interesting to learn more about the characters. I'm curious which of the mortal kombat games was your favorite?
Aww darn. Not gonna cover Shaolin Monks. That's my favorite game within the entirety of the MK franchise.
I'm really good with Kung Lao its cool to know his history!
Well I'm not really good but I'm more than average.
Yaaaay ive been waiting for this one
congrats on 30k
YESS Kung Lao and raiden are my 2 favorites
Here’s hoping his MKX arcade ending is canon. I’m not sure who’s idea it was to kill off my favorite characters, but I’m still po’d
Hands down best char in mkx. Crazy fast with brutal combos
Kung Lao is one of my favs, I hope that they will ressurect him in MK XI.
When will you do noob? You said you would in the sub-zero video
Noob is sub zero he has just been turned into a revenant
Noob is sub-zeros brother bi Han who was killed by scorpion
@John Glen Noob is Bi-Han, The Former Sub-Zero who was killed and turned into a sort of revenant then Bi-Han's Brother Kuai Luang took on the identity of Sub Zero.
Luv ur vids keep it up hi from Ireland
Yay RAIDEN keep it up history behind the warrior
Love your vids man
plz do scorpion pt 2 and i will go around give u a shout out i under stand you put a lot of time into this but another thing can you do history can u do cod characters and others
Missed the part where it says he is assisted by Kung Jin to fight his inner demon after Shinnok's defeat. Not sure if its cannon but Liu Kangs ending was so I won't be surprised if its the same for Lao.
@ Dylan Padgett, Kung Lao's hat >>>>>>>>> Raiden's hat, plus Kung Lao's hat is a lot cooler it cut off Raiden's head
Thanks for the vid alot of people just play n dnt care for the history of a playrr
My favorite. First played him in shaolin monks
Cool video as always bro but where is scorpion part 2? :)
You should do a full mortal kombat history
It's sad that Kung Lao and the other Earthrealm warriors weren't freed from their revenant states even after Shinnok's defeat.
Yay! Can't wait for Raiden!
Lui kang: epic dragon flame powers
Kung Lao: sharp hat thing
Kung lao is the ken of mortal kombat so underrated
Kung is a beast.
Goro goro goro please he is so amazingly epic
3:30 Isn't it Deception not decpetion?
Can you make a video about history of mortal Kombat with all its stories
Also, at the end of Kung Lao's ladder it says we was in the Netherrealm wandering until Kung Jin found him and the Shaolin force was strong that Quan Chi's curse and he was freed.
Am I the only one who wishes that was canon and that somewhere along the timeframe of the next MK we can have Kung Lao back because of Kung Jin? Liu Kang will mak a good villain versus Raiden but I hope Lao comes back.
been my favorite since mk2 👌
Do a history about smoke
Kung lao is my favorite carecter
can you do history of sindel or mileena?
History behind Johnny Cage PLS
Kung Lao won the MK2 not Liu Kang it is even said in MK3 Story Bio of Kung Lao that he won MK2.
Wrong liu kang won all 4 tournaments in the old timeline
Please do a history of tremor after raiden
I love your videos
ILOVE KUNG LAO
yeah I caint play Kung Lao at all but I agree he is awesome!
Don't sweat it, Shaolin Monks is basically a story mode of 1. That's not that many differences.
Remember the back story? Kung jin eventually frees kung lao
Please do Takeda next!
Do either Rain, erron black, or noob saibot next
In the Kung Jin arcade ending they say that he saved Kung Lao from his life as a revenant.
Can you do Reiko? This was great!
Kung Lao is a badass
100/10 i'm learning so much! :D
What about part 2 of scorpion
Hell no just look it up
No he said he would do
