​@@joeswanson733i'd imagine the Liu Kang from her timeline is just a normal Liu Kang who she has little connection to. When they restarted history the version of their love would be completely different then the one they knew the Kitana in Liu's timeline is not the Kitana he knew and the Liu in Kitana's timeline is not one she knew.

It honestly shows how selfless Liu Kang is, that he chose to do his duty and create a neutral timeline instead of one where he lived in peace with Kitana. Truly one of fiction's greatest and most noble heroes.

[@josephstalin2606]

Exactly but even then he still didn’t feel himself worthy of the power seeing how it corrupted a titan like Kronika so he willingly gave up his power to be a protector of Earthrealm, only taking back his power at the cost of no longer being a protector to Earthrealm bc all realms were at stake, he’s a true hero Im glad he’s finally living up to that

[@joeswanson733]

at least they made liu kang good again. he was evil in MK 6-7, 9 & 10. so out of all hte MK games he was evil in 4 of them.

[@ultimatesavage959]

​@@joeswanson733 In Midway timeline, just his body was evil, his soul was still fighting for good, just not on the spotlight because of the new protagonists, with Ermac's help if I'm not mistaken. And in 9 he just lost his faith in Raiden, so the only game where he's truly evil was X and 11 in his revenant form.

[@theman5614]

​@@ultimatesavage959agreed and I think it was understandable since no one did anything to help them and everytime raiden suggest something his friends got killed like Kung lo when he suggested he stay out of MK2. Then we had sindel who massacred everyone with only cage and Sonya who survived so understandably he lost faith. To make things worse in desperate times and due to raidens previous theories and suggestions all failed that one final time where raiden was correct it's understandable why he finally had enough. After all he still didn't want to kill raiden but felt he had no choice then we saw what happened. It's a shame his corrupted self when he died didn't see that raiden did turn out correct in that final suggestion prior to liu being killed. To be fair to raiden while it's frustrating for everyone to see what happened but if someone else was in his shoes it's very difficult to make the right decisions since he just doesn't know.

[@patrickacosta7031]

But Liu Kang’s comments about the courtyard are still true, because MK11 Kitana did battle Liu in the courtyard, the difference being she was never killed by Sindel because of the timeline interference in MK11, which eventually led her to becoming Khan.

That has to be the one of the highlights and rewarding moments in all MK, for those who truly are and appreciate the lore. But at the same time, one of the saddest. After 30 years of MK and they loving each other like crazy since MK2, they finally share an intimate moment, but at the same time, Liu's face when Kitana brings "fate conspiring against them" is just truly heartbreaking. And the thing is, if Liu's timeline is the one portrayed going forward, this could very well be the first but also last intimate moment of these two as a couple.

[@MickeyMH1]

30 years? That would be just a tick compared to what they claimed they crafted the realms for eons. So glad they finally share a moment together.

I hope we see them interacting more. It'd be a perfect excuse to bring over Kameos from other dimensions too. Imagine seeing their full-grown God child from some other timeline, could be wild 🤯

[@rodrigogois]

@@bwackbeedows3629 I don't see it happening, since in Geras' arcade ending, the barriers between the timelines were rebuilt. So even though the many timelines now coexist, they no longer touch each other, meaning with no Titan Kitana around, their relationship is officially over. New Kitana is a creation by Liu Kang who is free to live and build new relationships as she doesn't share any knowledges or experiences that Titan Kitana once had with him, and it is not in Liu's nature to thrust upon her a destiny to be with him. Besides, new Kitana now knows that Liu is literally her creator, so she probably see him as an entity/god other than anything. So yeah, I can definitely see this as the end for this couple.

[@ThatGuy-en2nn]

Well no... because they still retconed the lore and nerfed Shao Khan. Kitana shouldn't have just straight up solo'd him. There wasn't an explanation...the chosen one prophecy was disregarded so she could be queen. I can get enjoying the story and don't have a problem with that...but there's not a lot of consistency anymore. Boon and team just do whatever they want.

Anything can be possible because liu kang does have a crush on kitana and he knows there's a version of kitana who have the same feelings as him all he did was brought that version of her there with him because that's the kitana he knew and loved.

This was one of the best moments in MK History. Only made precious by the sacrifices they made and even after eons of wishing and trying, still could not be togather.

[@phoenixk9168]

What I like about this scene is that, it shows that it does not just have to the spitting image of your partner. Even if they have identical personality, It has to be the person with whom you developed bonds and grew with. Liu here didn't go for his era's Kitana. He always cherish the one he lost at Kronika's keep. Which is precious, same goes for Kitana.

[@cdavidson7657]

And bonus: The new timeline Kitana has a moment with Liu as well, if you pick her for Chapter 15. Glad they didn't force that one into a "romance" with anyone either. Kitana is for Liu and vice versa. Props to NRS for doing this right!

[@Eyeyorot]

Honestly the new timeline Kitana sucks and don't feel like Kitana. I know she's not interested in anyone but I don't care if she do. I just hope the next game we get new Kitana other from the current or bring back titan Kitana permanently

[@AML665]

​@@Eyeyorotsadly the Titan Kitana had her own Timeline to manage. Whos gonna manage her timeline then if not Kitana

[@Eyeyorot]

@@AML665 I know but remember this is MK. They can find excuses to pull it off. The crazy multiple universal plot already indicate that lol

[@rodrigogois]

@@Eyeyorot I don't know... NRS's slogan for MK1 was literally reimagined stories, origins and relationships with the characters we grown to. So I assume Liu's timeline will be the one continued to be portrayed in the future games, so the new Kitana should be the one in the next games. Being that, and considering Geras' arcade ending, that even though coexisting, the multiple timelines no longer touch each other, Titan Kitana is going to be out of the equation, and new Kitana is a creation by Liu Kang who is free to live and build new relationships as she doesn't share any knowledges or experiences that Titan Kitana once had with him, and it is not in Liu's nature to thrust upon her a destiny to be with him. Besides, new Kitana now knows that Liu is literally her creator, so she probably see him as an entity/god other than anything (and we can also see NRS laying the foundation for new Kitana to have other romantic relationship). definitely see this as the end for Liu and Kitana as a couple.

[@rodrigogois]

Really? What happens when you pick Kitana in the middle of that pyramid?

[@omarcortes9958]

the facial animations are beyond what we could imagine, you can see the pain in both of their faces when they know that there is still a duty that will bind them apart

[@lexbryant4564]

Liu Kang rizz Finally payed off how Long have we waited for this? Dont even fucking rememeber if they have kissed in the pass thats how dirty they have done Liu and Kitana lol. The happiness of Kitana when she realized thats the Liu Kang she had known and fallen in love with from the Beginning was sweat. I'm liking the multipe posibility of some of the main cast becoming titans/Keeper of times somewhere kind of cool

[@LunarSpiral1127]

I think in one of the endings in MK 10 or 11 they'd kiss, but that was the closest we got in the games.

[@maeellis7523]

The fact that Titans Liu and Kitana did that Perfect Kiss I imagined them doing. ✅He isn’t caught off gaurd by the kiss on the lips. ✅ He kisses back. ✅His arms around her waist (Likely pushing her up against him) ✅Her arms around his neck ✅The break away is calm ✅They 👏🏾touch👏🏾foreheads👏🏾 ✅Her hand is on Liu’s cheek.

Keep this in mind that the two had been separated since the final battle of MK11 for eons. And not once did they forgotten the one they've truly loved. Like damn, NRS does kind of mess up characters to suit their storytelling, but expanding the Liu Kang and Kitana romance ever since the first film adaptation made it possible recently has been pretty great in that direction.
