No, he didn't. Originally, Onaga only wanted immortality. It wasn't until he was fatally poisoned by advisor Shao Khan that the Dragon King was susceptible to the One Being's corrupted influence (as Onaga was one of the few creatures in life able to fight off the influence of the One Being, whereas most Kombatants would be easily susceptible to the One Being's ultimate goal of resurrecting himself by merging the realms, so it wasn't until he was killed that Onaga was tainted by the One Being's influence).
There have been 70+ playable characters throughout the MK series, not even counting named NPCs. So during story mode and the arcade endings, you'll see references and cameos by characters you wouldn't know unless you played all the games. The lore of the Mortal Kombat universe is vast and rich and full of fun and quirky characters. It's why this series has made it to its 30th anniversary and why it is still as popular as ever. ❤
Carlos pecina is the original actor of Raiden from the original mortal Kombat. He was a stunt guy and the one who has organized all the stunt choreography since the first MK in the 90s 😅 it's kind of insane that he has only gotten better since then
I really liked them bringing the 'next generation' youth into the story. A lot of times in pop media, it makes for eye-rolling stuff. But all 4 of the young guns are quality additions to the lore.
Many of the different arcade endings are deep cuts to the overall Mortal Kombat lore :) And Carlos Pesina is the very original Raiden, he worked with Ed Boon and others since the first Mortal Kombat game. Sub Zeros look was similar to his look in Mortal Kombat 3, but older and with beard :). And as of Frost, well that is playable character in the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, also a Lin Kuei like Sub Zero and originally pupil of Sub Zero (if I remember correctly :)).
9:26- 9:30. Remember in MK9 when Johnny cage asked why the kung fu twins couldn’t be there? This is what raiden was talking about when he said he sent LK and KL to free their shaolin masters
For kontext: Triborg is a non-canon Cyber-Lin-Kuei robot that can become any of the four models that comprise its mind, that being the recovered cybernetic brains of Smoke, Sektor, Sub-Zero and Cyrax, it's called Triborg because it can create up to two duplicates of itself using any of the models that the original body isn't currently using. Shujinko is the main character of Mortal Kombat: Deception.
@@erenkaskarli9436 He's explicitly not canon, Triborg has Smoke as one of his components, Smoke never became a Cyber Lin Kuei in this timeline, and we see him as a revenant in the story.
@@scotthadden9816 I mean, also Sektor and Cyrax are categorically separate entities when Frost is firing up the Cyber Initiative in 11. There’s time travel going on but that all seems current.
@@scotthadden9816 Triborg is Canon. Even Studio stated that. Lin Kuei copied all of their members's abilities to the data shortly before Cyber Lin Kuei. That's why Triborg can change into Sub-Zero and Smoke.
44:53 Yeah, you two probably don't know this character. That's Taven! The older brother of Degon, who is the leader of the Red Dragon clan. He's also Rain's half brother. Taven was introduced in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Back than, that game was considered the last Mortal Kombat game.
For me the best performances in this game are Ashley Burch as Cassie Cage and Steve Blum as Sub-Zero. Steve gives SO MUCH weight and grit to Sub-Zero, every time he speaks he commands your attention. He sounds damn near godlike. And Cassie is the absolute best of all the Kombat Kids. She has better swagger than her dad, her mother’s discipline and is as dangerous of a fighter as both of them. She’s the only character in gaming besides Ellie in TLOU to have the most impactful use of profanity. And she has the most horrifying X-Ray in all of Mortal Kombat when it’s done to men.😫😫😫
Cassie is like the best combination of Johny and Sonya in terms of personality, I Wonder how you view her design because for me I like her outfit from mk11 more than the outfit she had in mkx but her haircut in mkx is defenitly much cooler than a normal ponytail that she had in mk11
@@toamszkozak8822 true her haircut in MKX is cool, but the stylish ponytail with the sweeping semi pompadour is both cooler and more mature. As sign Cassie was branching out. However I do agree with you that while I liked her Black Widow suit in X her new default outfit is SO MUCH COOLER!
It is so nice to see you guys enjoying my favorite game franchise... it brings a warmth to my heart that more people are getting to know and liking the story hahahaha ❤ KAN'T wait for you to start MK11! Be prepared for the best one yet 🥰
1:17:55 I do love characters with sexy outfits and I do wish we kept more of them. That being said, I always had a personal rule that as long as it makes sense in context. And I will be honest, nothing ever made Sonya's outfit make sense; her being in the military and all that. Which is why I actually really appreciate her design in this game. But for characters like Kitana, go for it. And also Sub-Zero. They have their own fictional culture which is why I think it works in context.
Nice to see how cool the choreography can be in the fight scenes, it's good y'all touched on that. Also, whenever I be seeing MKX story scenes, I can't be the only one that still only remember it being just itsreal85 vids. I get such a hoot seeing them.
At 6:40 you can’t really blame Raiden for not being able to revive Liu Kang and Kung Lao without Quan Chi. Even before Quan Chi’s death he wouldn’t willingly release the revenants. So I find that unfair when you say he isn’t trying harder.
The thing about Injustice though is that the possibility of “regular” heroes without any powers ( Like Batman, Harley, Catwoman etc ) go against super humans ( Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman etc ) is explained by the lore too) They developed some pills that temporarily give superpower and durability to those who take them. Which is kinda neat if we’re talking about the adequacy of what’s happening in Injustice
I just started watching your guys MK reactions been enjoying them I think you guys are one of the better reaction channels can’t wait to see how you feel about mk11
Jonny Young Bosch is also really well know in the Voice Acting(VA) world for many eng dubbed anime performances, also Steve Blum aka Sub-Zero is also know for being Zeb in Star Wars: Rebels along with countless other roles
Great reaction. I can't say enough how awesome the story and lore of MK is. The Evolution and grouth of the characters, the games with the graphics gets better and better. I'm very sure you guys will love the MK 11 Story and aftermath DLC, it's better than a movie, that's all i have to say. Thanks for giving us the reactions so quick. Love that you guys loves it too 😁 The new Raiden from the end will be awesome😎
A little context. Shujinko is the Protagonist of Mortal Kombat Deception while Taven and Daegon are the Protagonist and Antagonist respectively of the next game Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
As others said, the character endings sometimes bring "cameo" characters from previous games. Shujinko and Taven are kind of a big thing since they were the protagonists of Deception's and Armageddon's story mode, respectively. Deception is still my favourite MK game
1:12:26 I can't believe I didn't catch this the first time but I agree, yes diversity voices can be great but sometimes there are VAs that can fit a character better than another but it's not based of race its off talent. Which sucks because we do have long-standing VA's who have perfected their craft and have so many voices themselves that they can get the job, which brings up a whole other issue that new VA's can't get jobs untill they die. (Literally a joke either Troy Baker or The other guy that's not Steve Blum) i remember i think Troy B said "work on your craft and wait for me and Troy to die...but keep practicing!"
Frost is a bigger Lin Kuei character in the original timeline and in MK 11. She's from the 3d MK era of games specifically. Frost was Sub-Zero's protégé who is obsessed with power snd deateoying the Shyrai Ryu. You'll learn more once you guys react to MK 11's storymode. 😎
Johnny Yong Bosch was the Black Ranger btw. I think one of Phil Lamarr's notable voice acting job is John Stewart (Green Lantern) from Justice League animated series
I said it in a previous comment, checking out History Behind The Warrior on some of the newest characters and the MKX comics will add a bit more understanding to the story.
The talk about diversity and MK makes the original Mortal Kombat movie in 1995 REALLY special in the way that Liu Kang is the main protagonist with Sonya/Johnny taking a backseat. If that movie were made in the 2000's or 2010's, they'd have Dragonball Evolutioned the sh*t out of it by having Johnny Cage always be the victor. With how beloved that movie is, it's crazy how underrated its progressive portrayal of Liu Kang is for its time.
1:08:32 nah ur spittin bro This problem persists throughout the entire new timeline 😭 The least they could do is have the character win in gameplay but canonically get beaten in story. Weeeiirrrd power scaling issues by having every playable character win their battles. It's like hot potato god mode or sum. Also the thing u mentioned about injustice, they explained it was because every mortal character takes super pills. It's a thing in the story mode lol. Jokers reaction to being bullet proof is amusing.
Raiden is the Dumbledore of Mortal Kombat. He's so revered by so many people and rightfully so but because he's so powerful and wise, his fuck ups are also equally monumental. 😅
Y’all don’t realise how much I love watching these videos! Please keep this up
Y’all don’t realize how much I need a daddy

We need this to continue!!!!
Can't wait for your MK11 and Aftermath Reaction. Hi Jaby and Achara. :)
46:18 The One-Being was teased in Mortal Kombat: Deception. Onoga, the villain of that game, wanted to have the power of the One-Being.
yes shujinko is also from that game right?
@@parthbhad9005 yes he was the hero
No, he didn't. Originally, Onaga only wanted immortality.

The revanants shoving Raidan always makes me laugh it is so stupid and I'm happy yall brought up "school yard" stuff makes it even funnier
Troy baker also voiced Bruce Wayne in Batman Telltale series and the young Joker in Batman Arkham Origins. He is such a talented guy.
You don’t need a live action MK movie when NetherRealm gives you the definitive version
These are better than the live actions imo😹
@@MoyLoaf All MK live action movies are horrible. These cutscenes are way better.
@@MoyLoaf these ones are pretty bad too but yeah, better than the live action movies
THEY JUST NEED TO LET THE GAME CREATORS MAKE THE DAMN MOVIE

I totally agree. Love the MKX hair, and the Mk11 outfit. Her face looks a bit off in 11 though
If she is in MK1 then I want both her mkx and mk11 outfits I like them both but I prefer her mkx voice actress
I like her voice and her whole character as well as the design better in MK11

At some point you may also want to watch the original timeline. Frost, Shujinko, Taven, and Daegon are all characters from other games.
33:24 Now this, puts a smile on my face 😌

Would be amazing if they checked those out

Even before Quan Chi’s death he wouldn’t willingly release the revenants. So I find that unfair when you say he isn’t trying harder.
That’s fair. I mean, they revived Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Jax pretty much by accident. Cleansing a soul is canonically a tall order.
37:39 One of my favorite DLC Endings in Mortal Kombat! Love the Alien franchise! 🙏🏽💪
*Elder gods exist*
Raiden: MUST... CONSULT!!
Shujinko is the main character from Mortal Kombat Deception's Konquest mode.
@24:02 "Here comes Uncle Sub-Zero !" (Achara said)...😆... But that is how it felt when he saved the Young Justice League Rookies! Lol

Loved watching this with you guys. Can't wait till you watch Mortal Kombat 11 and Aftermath stories
1:02:04 This character is Shujinko. He's the main character in Mortal Kombat: Deception
Would be nice to see Shujinko return in MK 1..he's been absent after Armageddon
Already !!! Yess thank you for doing this love seeing you’re reactions
subscribed because of the MK series. im so happy that you guys consistently upload and never disappoint. cant wait for you to watch MK11
45:09 Damn I forgot they show daegon in one of these stories He's the story character that you follow in Armageddon, the mortal Kombat right before 9
No. It's Taven you follow. Daegon is the evil brother between the two.
29:03 Aye!!!!!!! You said it better Achara! 🙏🏽💪

A little context. Shujinko is the Protagonist of Mortal Kombat Deception while Taven and Daegon are the Protagonist and Antagonist respectively of the next game Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
Ha awesome . I miss the darker style games like MKX and Deception had but MK11 is gonna be fun. Troy Baker is also Erron Black.
I can hear it in his voice.
@@lescobar195 more so than with Shinnok. For sure.

Wtf this is cringe
This scene was extremely cringe and funny 😂
Part 3 is also uploaded!!!!! Nice Continue with MK11 as well it also has a DLC called Aftermath.
Shujinko was the main protagonist in mortal Kombat deception. That game is the reason how I discovered my fav character Havik.
Ohh that was quick!

Still can't believe taven is in mkx and that dragon that I dont remember its name but glad they brought him back
You are really gonna like the character interactions in MK11
Dvorah from her mouth using cheese sauce on Johnny Cage 😂😂😂
Troy Baker not only plays Shinnok but also Erron Black(the cowboy character) here
And if you're impressed by his Shinnok, you should here his Joker
Troy played Fujin as well.
Johnny Yong Bosch also is the voice actor of Ichigo for the english version of Bleach
😏👍
Let the games begin
When Raiden said he traveled many strange realms, was that an Injustice reference?
Yup. It explains why he was there.
Shinnok and Erron Black are both Joel/Troy
Fujin as well.
Now we're waiting for mortal kombat 11 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I said it in a previous comment, checking out History Behind The Warrior on some of the newest characters and the MKX comics will add a bit more understanding to the story.
