Lol I first played this only a couple years ago... Sense I'm currently 14 I was like 8 when I got into mortal kombat... Maybe that's why I'm so messed up... Nah...
Yeah actually Ermac's corrupted soul gets freed by Liu Kang's soul. So he becomes a good guy,as you see that he is fighting on the side of light in armageddon
When did he die in the Armageddon intro Because I’ve watched that intro a lot so I doubt there’s anything that I don’t know about it I’m pretty sure Onaga took shao kahn in the intro but I don’t think he died in it if you’re talking about the intro to MK 9 which was related to Armageddon he also did not appear in that however if he did I would like you to tell me when
@@hatsuneelissu5924 That was Shujinko Edit: I thought you were referring to onaga but now that I have read your comment a few more times I’m pretty sure you’re referring to shujinko if so yeah you’re correct he did die and it was pretty funny And I do agree that he deserved a more impressive fight with Shang sung considering how powerful he is
While this game isn’t perfect, it forever remains my favorite mk 3d era game. Being able to roam and see multiple realms alone in my opinion is so cool. I would pay anything for Mortal Kombat to try something like this again.
Man this shit makes me feel old. I remember being 12 playing this game thinking this had some next level graphics/gameplay. Now it just looks like a rendered mess.
Starscream91 Shujinko didn’t know he was being fooled by onaga and brainwashed because ever since he was a kid he was being followed by Damashi and some people say why would u trust a red ball but don’t forget it’s in a mortal kombat universe with all sorts of creatures
This game was so great. I have huge memories about this game, and it was definitelt the best Mortal Kombat game ever made even today. They totally brought the MK series to a whole new level, especially with the Konquest mode. Even the music from the Konquest mode (especially the music the first village in Earthrealm when you begin) gives me chilling memories... ! They should make another game like this one..
Who else feels bad for Shujinko because he didn’t get to compete in the MK tournament? Such a good story though. It would be cool if they brought back Shujinko somehow. He’s one of the most powerful characters.
For those wanting to know all the time jumps in the story. 14:50 - 5 years & 1 month of training with Bo Rai Cho 42:28 - 10 years & 10 months for walking into the time displacement pool where the Chaos Kamidogu lies. 01:01:15 - 10 years & 4 months to cleanse his soul of corruption with the aid of Nightwolf. 01:18:37 - 20 years & 6 months of waiting in a prison cell in Order Realm awaiting his trial for allegedly breaking curfew.
I was nice enough to return the medallion when I played Konquest. P.S. I am getting the PS2 Mortal Kombat trilogy (Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon) to relive all the fun memories. Is MK:D's Konquest Mode the best or what???
+Glø böíí _såvãgë Mk11 may be a remake of Mkdeception since Liu kang in the current timeline is undead and raiden is ( spoilers look up Mkx post credits).
and also for people wondering why they hate shunjinko basically 2 reason the first reason is stupid they hate him cause it was his fault that onaga return which he was manipulated which really isnt his fault and second reason is because he naive so yeah
@@eliteknightsk3035I personally do not think he is at fault. But at the same time, it is because he allowed it for too long. When he was a kid, he had an excuse. But when he got older, he should have known better because he could have told someone and asked about it. But maybe he had some doubts about it being the right path since he told no one about Damashi. He said he was the Elder Gods champion, BUT he never said anything about Damashi and I feel that's because he had some kind of feeling(even a small one) that he was in the wrong. To a certain extent, it is his fault
Its typically for what the social climate these days is. But i did like the double johnny thing. Except this storyline kinda fits into the themes that the original mortal kombat is based off of imo. I like shujinko and hope future games will include the new god liu kang assisting shujinko as the champion of mortal kombat or something like that would be interesting.
Shujinko isn't stupid for being decieved he is stupid for not challenging Onaga at first or stealing 1 or more kamidogu then running through the portal.
+Mike N well when you're approaching a huge dragon and you're about to face death your head can't think straight all you wanted to is run for your life
Man shujinko has time for everything 😂 “Oh Shang tsu invited me to a tournament but I have to train a couple years with Nightwolf... He can wait, I got time”
Don't forget that in the new timeline he was not nearly as strong because the events of MK Deception never happened. He was still known by raiden and was a skilled warrior though.
I like how you can venture into the realms and see characters wandering around and how they appear "classic". I wish they would make another MK like this.
I just realized "Damashi" made Shujinko jealous by mentioning the kid that pretended to be Shang Tsung and gave Shujinko the exact same powers of mimicry as Shang Tsung. It's also interesting how you have a parallel between Liu Kang and Shujinko. Liu is someone who is naturally gifted and honed his skills, while Shujinko whom was not that talented, cheated and foolishly embarked on a quest without ever thinking it through beyond his own powers for several years
bro the gods don't do shit shot in this series: At not one point in his life did intervene or think "You know what....we should probably do something....eh Fuck it".
2:30- That's why, whenever two or more villains team up, there should always be a higher up villain within this teamup to keep everyone in line. As the old saying goes "There can be only one"...
Omg the nostalgia I'm getting from this, also can we just point out the fact that Shujinko has gone from young boy to old man and everyone around him has remain the same.
@@GreatRaijin I think he means the literal animation from deception, they basically copy and pasted Onagas death to Blaze. Or at least it looks that way.
Shinjiko was a very interesting character. He was instrumental in reviving Onaga, and he learned alot on his journey. He definitely was worthy of being the Elder gods champion.
@@tonypaella People believe God talks to them because of the dreams they had. Shujinko had a giant glowing ball appear to him claiming to be an elder god. That same ball was there for him his entire life. Who else would he trust? I think most people would probably fall for it. Especially someone who believed they were born for greatness, like Shujinko did.
You have to admit. This was good. Even if he was “Deception” he still benefited a lot from traveling to all worlds. It also gives a good introductory of the worlds.
man, this brings back so many memories. my uncle and I used to play this all the time with me when I was a kid. he passed away a few years ago but some of my favorite memories with him was playing this game
1:37:11 I like to think that after Deception’s ending, Shujinko’s fight with Onaga crippled and weakened him, but didn’t kill him. So after the battle, he escaped and went into hiding. Hiding until the power of Armageddon revealed itself and drew all warriors to it, including him. But upon arriving, he sees Shao Khan and is far more interested in killing the mortal responsible for sending him on this downward path from the beginning. So he attacks and Carries him away while Shao was off-guard. But while being whisked away, Shao attacks him mid-air(most likely by summoning his hammer to him) and notices Onaga is much weaker than he should be due to not being fully recovered from his fight with Shujinko. He then takes advantage of this and Kills Onaga either while being carried, or after they both fall to the ground. After, he makes his way back to the temple of Blaze and sees most kombatants either killed or unconscious, with only Taven standing in his way. After Killing Taven and defeating Blaze, Shao obtains the power of Armageddon and Raiden with the remaining kombatants try to stop him. Which leads us into the opening of MK9. Like I said, this is just what I think happened off-screen, but it does fill in the gaps between these events in my opinion.
Shao khan didnt nill blaze Taven did remember that in mk armageddon ending taven said that a 3 outcome appears só they become stronger Only raiden and shao khan is lef5 and taven return tô edenia tô find a solution
1:35:06 That cutscene in the Nexus feels to me like straight out of a comedy movie credits, it just needs Onaga, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Scorpion, Raiden dancing in the background and it's epic.
1:01:35 Through many years of Nightwolf's teachings, ShuJinKo expanded his consicousness and ...aged like hell Gd job, ShuJinKo, your aging capability even overwhelmingly beat your teacher Nightwolf, who is also a normal human being..
Most NA seems to look older in their youth, but look younger in their senior year, all the while Asian looks are mostly the other way around (you can see both in real life) and it's possible that Nightwolf is younger by 5-15 years old, which makes sense with Shujinko.
Knowing how it will end, early on, so many clues that Damashi was evil. Like telling shujinko to keep the warrior's medalion to trick people. Stealing from the Lin Kuei, making him lie on several ocasions. Towards the end seemed a bit filler content, wel to get him to interact with characters he hadn't already. Earth to compete then not competing, Netherrealm to taint his soul again, Outworld to assault the Deadly Alliance. Also he seemed a bit too... polite to a lot of characters. For example letting Hotaru arrest him without a fight.
i'm not saying that shujinko is an idiot, but i kinda understand his heart was in the right place. He believes that he is on a quest for the elder gods, so he had no choice but to trust damashi (even thought damashi means Deceiver)
+Nicholas Storey Are you kidding me dude? I would do the same thing. The Nettherrealm or however you spell it creeped me out to back then. I love the story of the game and this game itself. Dont get the wrong idea.
Whys everyone complaining about the voice acting ? It's a ps2 game from 2004. Go play Ride To Hell Retribution or Animal Soccer World then you'll know what real bad voice acting is
The voice quality isn’t bad, but the actual voice acting is somewhat mediocre. This was also around when Midway was struggling financially so that probably has something to do with the voice acting.
its the atmosphere where this game is 11/10. You really do feel you are wondering another world and are seeing the characters come to life. Prior to this game, MK lore was mostly a mess of cutscenes and text from endings, but this game brought it together to make a convincing storyline (even if some parts of the timeline are completely incoherent, it was a valiant effort). the music certainly helped in the atmosphere as well.
I agree with your point about atmosphere. It's the music, noises and sound effects. Also the fact that you're traveling all those realms that all look different. The design of the kamidogu for each realm is also worth mentioning. My favorite mortal Kombat game in total, not just konquest.
It’s inevitable. Someone else wouldve taken Onaga/damashi’s offer and same ending. Damashi did say he could redirect to shujinko’s classmate (the one who pretended to be Shang Tsung in the beginning konquest)
How ever....I wouldn't say no to guest stars from classic old school kung fu flicks be in mortal kombat. Characters from five deadly venoms, 36th chamber of shaolin or from big trouble in little china town. They would not only fit but they did inspire mortal kombat
the game really sounded like that... jeez i guess being 7 and watching someone play this game must have sounded really different back then.... good times. good times
I truly think The 3D era is under-looked cuz of minor aspects, especially when it comes to this one, the story, the rich lore that should’ve never been tampered w/by greedy WB, the designs of each character that actually reflected their personality, the music, the rich ambiance, just MK nothing outside tainting it like it was MK in its purest form, i Truly wish they would go back to this but i know it’s far gone especially with how it’s all handled now, it’s depressing but knowing this exists at the same time as me will always be a golden moment.
Oh my god the memories are so real. Wow it's been so long since I've seen this game. To think I thought this game had some awesome graphics. Technology really has come a long way in such a short time.
I dont understand why they dont bring back this style of story mode. The interactive movie is cool but deception will be my favorite.
because in next gen that would be a shit ton of work... this is before they knew there identity somewhat, they don’t need a rpg side quest having story mode any more

facts he was plottin for decades
He may have the patience of a monk, but still he didn't think far enough as to believe that shujiko would use the power given by him to turn it against him
He is thousands of years old, so him waiting for a few decades can be compared to a normal human waiting for months.
Onaga also hired backup "Champions of The Elder gods" in case Shujinko failed, like the one you fight in the Nexus.

Sebastien Napoleon they did they sent scorpion he the last boss before u revive onaga
bro the gods don't do shit shot in this series: At not one point in his life did intervene or think "You know what....we should probably do something....eh Fuck it".
they somewhat did,they sent monster(who we all know is just future scorpion ;) ) and scorpion

2:30- That's why, whenever two or more villains team up, there should always be a higher up villain within this teamup to keep everyone in line. As the old saying goes "There can be only one"...
Yep.But it must be avoided,so that they maintain their coolness (individual)
Omg the nostalgia I'm getting from this, also can we just point out the fact that Shujinko has gone from young boy to old man and everyone around him has remain the same.
True. But also completely in line with how time works in MK (makes 0 sense) lol
@@miguelzavaleta1911yeah plot wise, the NRS games are definitely slightly easier to understand
So I just realized onagas death scene is the same as when you kill blaze in armageddon lol
Same as Dark Kahn in MK vs DC and Shao Kahn in MK9. They sure liked that animation.
Besides Kronika
That death explosion has been used since the original mk games lol
@@GreatRaijin I think he means the literal animation from deception, they basically copy and pasted Onagas death to Blaze. Or at least it looks that way.
THAT INTRO FOR THE GAME I CAN WATCH IT ALL DAY ❤️❤️😍😍
Shinjiko was a very interesting character. He was instrumental in reviving Onaga, and he learned alot on his journey. He definitely was worthy of being the Elder gods champion.
Well you could also argue that he was a gullible idiot. I see your point though.
@@tonypaella People believe God talks to them because of the dreams they had. Shujinko had a giant glowing ball appear to him claiming to be an elder god. That same ball was there for him his entire life. Who else would he trust?
I think most people would probably fall for it. Especially someone who believed they were born for greatness, like Shujinko did.
@@Lymbo88 i know. And it's only game anyway. One that i really love
You have to admit. This was good. Even if he was “Deception” he still benefited a lot from traveling to all worlds. It also gives a good introductory of the worlds.
17:24 I love how Shujinko just runs up and socks the dude and his buddies immediately run away. No hesitation, all action 😂😂
Ikr, and they fled so fast 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh no. That dude delivered a punch. RUN FOR UR LIVES!!!
After all these years shujinko is still a virgin✊🏿
Fuck destiny XXDDDD
Fuck destiny 😂
Fuck destiny omg I didn't realize that😂😂
I bet you 50$ he doesn't give a shit lol.
No, life fucked him over.
Fun fact: Bo Rai Cho sounds like "Borracho", which means "drunk" in spanish.
Ignit Wacom That was the point
If you had unlocked his character page you'd see that is why exactly he got named that.
I didn’t know that. Still, quite a good inside joke.
....thought it meant syphilis..

It's funny. I went from MK X, MK 9, Injustice Gods among us, and now this. Love watching the movies since I can't afford to buy them.
Lol
Its alright
That’s a weird Looking peniiss came here for nostalgia since I sold my consoles long ago
I'm just bored during the Quarantine
This was one of the first games that developed my love for open world RPGs. I spent a lot of time on this game when I was a kid.
man, this brings back so many memories. my uncle and I used to play this all the time with me when I was a kid. he passed away a few years ago but some of my favorite memories with him was playing this game
i used to play this when i was like 11 and i didn't know english, now it's so weird understanding everything they say :D
+toothakace lol yeah, you can now see how awesomely corny it is
+Gamer's Little Playground haha that's true :D
+toothakace I want a gurl just like the girl that married dear old dad... she wus the gurl and the only gurl that daddy ever... had.
Same thing for me haha
+toothakace When I played this I was really young, too young, and I understood english. However I didn't care about the dialogue XD
Everyone's model design has pretty much been remade in newer MK games, except Quan Chi, who looks relatively the same.
And raiden too
Still an ugly boy
Quan Chi only changed clothes in MKX, I believe.
He had one change
his loin cloth.
@@ShiftyGuy777 and the spikes on his shoulders
1:37:11 I like to think that after Deception’s ending, Shujinko’s fight with Onaga crippled and weakened him, but didn’t kill him. So after the battle, he escaped and went into hiding. Hiding until the power of Armageddon revealed itself and drew all warriors to it, including him. But upon arriving, he sees Shao Khan and is far more interested in killing the mortal responsible for sending him on this downward path from the beginning. So he attacks and Carries him away while Shao was off-guard. But while being whisked away, Shao attacks him mid-air(most likely by summoning his hammer to him) and notices Onaga is much weaker than he should be due to not being fully recovered from his fight with Shujinko. He then takes advantage of this and Kills Onaga either while being carried, or after they both fall to the ground. After, he makes his way back to the temple of Blaze and sees most kombatants either killed or unconscious, with only Taven standing in his way. After Killing Taven and defeating Blaze, Shao obtains the power of Armageddon and Raiden with the remaining kombatants try to stop him. Which leads us into the opening of MK9. Like I said, this is just what I think happened off-screen, but it does fill in the gaps between these events in my opinion.
That makes sense.
Isn't tavens ending cannon? He kills blaze the power had a third effect where nothing happened.
Apparently not, since Shao Kahn has Blaze’s power in the MK9 intro. They probably retconned the canon ending
Shao khan didnt nill blaze
Taven did remember that in mk armageddon ending taven said that a 3 outcome appears só they become stronger
Only raiden and shao khan is lef5 and taven return tô edenia tô find a solution
Onaga isnt dead tho. the nexus gateway where he emerged from is being built in MK1. also,reiko's tower ending confirms he is alive but held captive.
Best Mortal Kombat game. They need to make another Konquest type story-mode.

1:35:06 That cutscene in the Nexus feels to me like straight out of a comedy movie credits, it just needs Onaga, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Scorpion, Raiden dancing in the background and it's epic.
1:01:35
Through many years of Nightwolf's teachings, ShuJinKo expanded his consicousness and ...aged like hell
Gd job, ShuJinKo, your aging capability even overwhelmingly beat your teacher Nightwolf, who is also a normal human being..
Most NA seems to look older in their youth, but look younger in their senior year, all the while Asian looks are mostly the other way around (you can see both in real life) and it's possible that Nightwolf is younger by 5-15 years old, which makes sense with Shujinko.
the best konquest mode of any MK imo the nxt MK needs to go back to a story mode like this one
Definitely. It shows it's age now, but if they updated with some modern RPG type stuff it would be amazing.
Dtrain3109
i like the free roam shit they used to do , the new story mode is kinda lame
Yh
Any type of story structure would be completely ruined with NRS current writing team.
Damashi : I must warn you it is a dark and evil place...
Shujinko(After entering Netherrealm) : This place.....it feels.....dark
Lol.
LMAO
Lol I cringed at that scene
Knowing how it will end, early on, so many clues that Damashi was evil. Like telling shujinko to keep the warrior's medalion to trick people. Stealing from the Lin Kuei, making him lie on several ocasions.
Towards the end seemed a bit filler content, wel to get him to interact with characters he hadn't already. Earth to compete then not competing, Netherrealm to taint his soul again, Outworld to assault the Deadly Alliance.
Also he seemed a bit too... polite to a lot of characters. For example letting Hotaru arrest him without a fight.
This is what I call nice guy syndrome
Damashi is Japanese for deceiver
I remember playing this game until 5 or 6 in the morning. I loved this game.
i'm not saying that shujinko is an idiot, but i kinda understand his heart was in the right place. He believes that he is on a quest for the elder gods, so he had no choice but to trust damashi (even thought damashi means Deceiver)
The JOE-KING hpw the fuck did Shujinko not know what damashi meant? Isnt he japanese???? Or he could be chinese idk.
Eric M You're right, I think that Shujinko is Chinese like Liu Kang and Kung Lao, who were trained by the Shaolin.
I feel bad for shujinko
30:30 He really left at once LOL
Nicholas Storey They* It's Ermac!
Nicholas Storey There's no "two" ways about it. He didn't even think "twice." haha
CidGuerreiro1234 ahhhhhh I see whatcha did there..
+Nicholas Storey Are you kidding me dude? I would do the same thing. The Nettherrealm or however you spell it creeped me out to back then. I love the story of the game and this game itself. Dont get the wrong idea.
Lol
Whys everyone complaining about the voice acting ? It's a ps2 game from 2004. Go play Ride To Hell Retribution or Animal Soccer World then you'll know what real bad voice acting is
Games in 2004 didn’t sound this bad.
The voice quality isn’t bad, but the actual voice acting is somewhat mediocre. This was also around when Midway was struggling financially so that probably has something to do with the voice acting.
Good voice acting wasn't cheap back then.
Or house of the dead 2 lmao
its the atmosphere where this game is 11/10. You really do feel you are wondering another world and are seeing the characters come to life. Prior to this game, MK lore was mostly a mess of cutscenes and text from endings, but this game brought it together to make a convincing storyline (even if some parts of the timeline are completely incoherent, it was a valiant effort). the music certainly helped in the atmosphere as well.
I agree with your point about atmosphere. It's the music, noises and sound effects. Also the fact that you're traveling all those realms that all look different. The design of the kamidogu for each realm is also worth mentioning. My favorite mortal Kombat game in total, not just konquest.
*Go to class, kids! And say no to floating, glowing balls that can talk😂😂😂*
Hotaru arrests you then try's to defend you in court? Weird
Killer Pizza14 I commented on that on another person's video. I found that made no sense at all.
Hes lawful good or whatever has to follow the sedian law but he knows shujinko is a good guy and want him to get a lenient sentence I guess
Fuck hotaru
@@MrBanditheart regardless fuck hotaru
@@GhostFan-ev4di same i prefer chaosrealm
31:21 "And more you shall receive, MUUUUURRRRAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!"
Famous Last Words. I'm sure she has a good relationship with Ermac and we just don't know it.
The little fighters jig they do whenever they mention words like “combat,” “fighting,” or “training” never ceases to crack me up.
I miss this game so much! I used to run around and replay all the weird and dumb little side quests it had.
Everyone warns you of chaos realm but when you get there people are pretty chill and polite.
30:30 GOTTA GO FAST
Slugger Maxman lol
Fastest thing alive.
This game probably had the best Ermac voice ever.
We are many you are but one
This all could have been avoided had he learned to say “No”
Agree. LoL. The old man even let himself imprisoned for years.
It’s inevitable. Someone else wouldve taken Onaga/damashi’s offer and same ending. Damashi did say he could redirect to shujinko’s classmate (the one who pretended to be Shang Tsung in the beginning konquest)
This game had a peak story, 100% amazing story line, character development and a perfect villain,
Growing up no matter how many times I already seen it… I never skipped the intro
1:12:21 ahaha Quan Chi is running :'D
And Scorpion.. so funny XD "I will have my REVENGE!"
Lol
Skarlet Bloodthirsty so you're blood-based? Weird but cool.
Skarlet was hot in Mk9. 🤷♂️
Scarlet is sexy
Scarlet is sexy af she got nice ass and tits

Yes and I'd just punch him lol

people in mortal kombat deception's conquest:gotta go fast gotta go fast gotta go faster faster faster faster faster
Shujinko: Wait, it was all Onaga
*pulls out kamidogus*
Onaga: Always has been
"Ham. I love ham"
You said it game.
Lmao
Thank you kindly for this upload. This is so nostalgic it almost makes me want to cry
Poor kenshi if he wasnt blind he wouldve seen him from across the road Lol
Good old days without forced horror movie guest characters.
Fr lmao 😂
Yeah I agree. I feel like guest from different shows or movies aren't necessary. It should just be strictly mortal kombat characters
How ever....I wouldn't say no to guest stars from classic old school kung fu flicks be in mortal kombat. Characters from five deadly venoms, 36th chamber of shaolin or from big trouble in little china town. They would not only fit but they did inspire mortal kombat
Oh and characters from kill bill.
This has to be one of the best story modes in any game. Such a cool concept too
Man Shujinko really had a terrible life when you think about it 😭😭😭
the game really sounded like that... jeez i guess being 7 and watching someone play this game must have sounded really different back then.... good times. good times
I truly think The 3D era is under-looked cuz of minor aspects, especially when it comes to this one, the story, the rich lore that should’ve never been tampered w/by greedy WB, the designs of each character that actually reflected their personality, the music, the rich ambiance, just MK nothing outside tainting it like it was MK in its purest form, i Truly wish they would go back to this but i know it’s far gone especially with how it’s all handled now, it’s depressing but knowing this exists at the same time as me will always be a golden moment.
If they remastered this this would easily win game of the year
Shujiko: I should return this medallion to my master.
Damashi: Nah fuck that, keep it.
Also Bo Rai Cho sounds like Mojo Jojo from Powerpuff Girls a little haha
Oh my god the memories are so real. Wow it's been so long since I've seen this game. To think I thought this game had some awesome graphics. Technology really has come a long way in such a short time.
I know.It was the same for me
Yh
@@V_For_Vigilante,what?
Poor Shujinko!! Man he got played!!
man this intro gives me chills every time, I love it, best intro all time MK
I spent YEARS playing this on my PSP. I had such fun and it was my favorite game as a kid. I still have the game and I'm thinking of playing again.
Shujinko:
Learns as fast as he can run
