So a cousin of Kenshi instead of his son, and though not a telepath, he still has a fighting style of the Shirai Ryu, brief as it was. Still his ultimate goal is his pursuit after the Red Dragon, albeit his own version of purification rather than vengeance. The biggest difference of all is him going about it alone rather than with a parent or being surrounded by friends around his age. A "What if" version of a previous incarnation if i ever saw one.

Geras saying that he witnessed the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs is probably one of the funniest things I heard coming from him.

[@zephwilliams3010]

Bro started beef with Kitana and Meleena already 💀

[@thomasgallipoli8376]

Shang Tsung still has the best intros. The voice actor is so talented, the evil and sarcasm drips from his lips 😅

[@ZackExplorer28]

"they called us the Kombat Kids. is that an insult or not?" i've been wondering that the same thing.

[@Blur4strike]

I think it was an insult, and not one of endearment.

[@axostierIV]

Wait a minute... Jacqui is now old than Johnny Cage in this timeline? Cool!

[@insertnamehere7228]

8:24 aww reptile sharing the joke cage told him.

[@otaking3582]

12:50 "I'm not sure I'm ready for gods and monsters." "Good, because Monster energy drinks will send a C&D over that name."

[@maskedlucina5574]

I can't believe Jacqui is a movie star-

[@machine1685]

12:37 "Blame your ancestors' poor choices" Lowkey, I wished the game actually dove into Liu Kang's meddling with people's destiny's and lives. We're talking about a dude that condemned people like Shang Tsung to a poor and miserable life and then was surprised that they would try to escape that fate. He essentially sentenced people for crimes they did not commit and had Shang Tsung or someone called him out on this, I don't think he would have a sufficient answer. Think about it: why sentence someone they you see as a potential threat to a life of squalor instead of one of discipline and integrity? Imagine if Shang Tsung was placed in the Shaolin as a kid. If he was given the proper training and nurture. Is Liu Kang truly so short sighted that he doesn't see this? I would say no, as he gave Mileena- someone who has caused a lot of harm- a favorable position in life. I just think MK's writing could be stronger than it has been recently.

[@sonomni]

I’m gonna disagree and mention that Shang Tsung still could’ve sought power despite being taught by Shaolin, at the end of the day it would’ve been his choice on what he chooses to do.

[@SinisterOL]

5:28 thats the first time I’ve ever heard Shao compliment anyone in like any timeline

[@JAY1GHOST0ELITE]

13:23 -You’re a wizard Takeda 13:27

[@Nightbeat9123]

MKX Takeda: Master Hasashi taught me everything I need. MK1 Takeda: In my timeline, I showed him the ropes.

[@Kar_20k]

20:10 nitara sounds like she finally has some emotion in her voice. Well to me dunno bout everyone else

[@bruhhugo2183]

I was thinking the same! Hopefully it gets better. Still a little emotionless

[@justamediocreyoutubechanne4172]

4:15 rain really said "it's my ninja way, belive it"

[@Ramsey276one]

0:01 This game's plot in a nutshell

[@lorrithelinguist]

IS HE FLIRTING WITH KITANA???

[@lorrithelinguist]

HE BOUTA BE THE RED DRAGON'S DOWNFALL!!!

[@telepath1890]

Same voice actor, feels like he never left I'm glad he's back

[@jjar904]

Did he seriously make a breaking bad joke😂

[@Superguy-w4s]

It’s more of a reference

[@lorrithelinguist]

HE A BADDIE HE KNOW HE A TEN 🗣️‼️🔥💥

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

I knew we would have MKX takeda in the mirror matches, if the time travelling takeda theory wasn’t true. Fuckin awesome

[@StanTVXD]

Syzoth and Takeda interaction is kinda wholesome I love it

[@moayegbusi9623]

He’s so badass

[@featherguardian6023]

9 Years Later and Parry Shen still has that Same Energy and Charisma Takeda Takahashi has with a New Fresh of Paint as Kenshi’s Cousin than his Son, I’m glad my Theory of the Red Dragons being the Puppeteers Pulling the Strings of the Yakuza brings new Layers to this Universe and when you think about it, Takeda is basically the Same lone Wolf Kenshi was in the Original/3D Era Timeline, although I don’t know how to feel about him leaving the Shirai Ryu Early but I can see him returning in the Future as he’s Hanzo’s Big Brother, his Actions could affect the Clan if not Careful, and maybe with Jacqui Established in the Dialogues we could see this Romance happening, the Question on this is if she’s Jax’s Daughter or Sister?

[@theheroneededwillette6964]

So this guy’s backstory is how we’re being first introduced to this timeline’s version of the red dragons.

[@_aballa_]

5:37 love that reference to Sub-Zero's line in MK11 "A fool and his vice are soon parted."

[@lorrithelinguist]

[@KaijuKev814]
