Exactly, this is why I love this character. Midway/Netherrealm really kind of shot themselves in the foot a bit when they followed this up with Taven. his quest took his family, but Shujinko gave his all to this quest and it was all for nothing. that is just crushing, how the hell can anyone go further after that? I honestly would've been fine with Shujinko as the new main protagonist of the franchise after all this and am kinda sad that they didn't go that route. still, great stuff.
Yes but I dont think it was all for naught, he gained incredible powers and maybe if he compleats his training he will be able to beat anyone and anything. With the new time reset I really hope we can get him again.
@@xenofazoli4308 just for a laugh what if it was from that power onaga gave him like a a really bad side effect from taking power it saps your age but this is just speculation
@Emperor Beagle let me be a mk nerd so bear with me . The konquest you see in deception in taking place right after deadly alliance cause bo rai cho just joined earthrealms forces in that very game also if it was the first mk tournament we would see Lui kang and the earth realm invasion from mk 3 play out ....maybe it did but I think ed boon or Jon Vogel never paid attention to the exact frame of there own story
@Emperor Elvis 50th Of The Great Beagle Empire let's not forget the story was rewritten 3 times . kung lau the hero was killed 500 years before the fist mk game which sets lui on his personal journey against shang tsung .that is the same kung lau shujinko admired .even bo rai cho only joined earth realm during deadly alliance which is weird cause given the time frame . only part that seems to fit is scorpion coming straight off His revenge for quin chi right out of Mk4

I loved this game but konquest mode story is everywhere. There’s too many plot holes and one that would’ve allowed Shunjinko to participate in the tournament. If he was able to access the netherrealm with the little taint he had then Shujinko should’ve been able to access all realms since the NR is the most corrupt and needs the most corruption to enter. And if he had been given the Chance to participate in the mk tournament then maybe onaga should’ve told him to kill who he faced to gain corruption.
You are right, I also think that Shujinko (as strong as he is) should had kicked Hotaru's ass' when he took him to prison for SO MANY Years, come on thismis ridiculous, Shujinko is an idiot
@@rockluee37 exactly dude spent nearly 2 damn decades in prison just for a simple curfew violation! And hortaru was gonna testify for him after 2 damn decades! Fuck that guy!
I get the impression that plothole is answered by assuming Damashi lied. The Shujinko's connection to Damashi/Onaga proably was the source of the corruption. Seeking to purge the taint might have severed the connection, and been an issue to Damashi's plan. Competing in the tournament, fighting the evil forces of Shang Tsung, would likely have risked completly redeeming Shujinko's soul. Thus, an emergency trip to the Netherrealm was nessicarry, no exceptions.
+Wooden Toaster I hate to say that I like the dialogue, but have to agree with you. The movements when they talk were staged by the same kid. Ashrah putting her hands up when talking to shujinko. Baraka snarling and beating his chest when he says "What?! I am Baraka." lol
I always wondered where Shujinko parents were while he was traveling everywhere! You think they would be concerned about him being gone also when he did 20 years in prison!
44:00 “Damashi” almost revealed his true colors.
Probably the first game I ever finished. I love the fact that it had a full, walk-around story mode.
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and Mortal Kombat: Deception were GREAT games. God I miss the PS2 era.
Armageddon was great as well.😊
I miss too.
I miss those days playing PlayStation 2.
But I still got it.
@@Facade953 I agree.
Don't forget Shaolin Monks
@@Facade953 it was trash
Overall, shujinko wasted all his life just for Onaga to reach all power. Literally, all his life, wasted.

I wish they added a fight with onaga
He fixed his mistake though, he got revenge. Onaga fucked up by giving him his "gift".
Yes but I dont think it was all for naught,

his training he will be able to beat anyone and anything.

Thats the "Deception"... got it?
The biggest plot hole ever is that Shujinko is in some kind of time accelerating bubble and aged over 50 years but no one else did
Maybe time passes at different rates in different realms. Let's say one year in the netherrealm is equal to 15 in earthrealm.

The voice acting in this game is so bad that it's good. I love it. 😀
Did you know you can sprint and run faster in R2?
18:01 lmao I like how the signs have the destination of places and there’s a sign specifically says master Bo rai cho house 😂😂😂
The Order Realm is a joke, Shujinko was jailed for 20 years for violating a curfew. Are you for real?
Then he said "I was here to testify on your behalf"
EpicMedia7 yeah, 20 years too late
Was wondering the same thing wtf?
@@EpicMedia7 and he’s the one who imprisoned him.
this is a great game to fall asleep to imo
Why didn't he just clap hotaru lol.

The PS2 The Original Xbox and the gamecube had the best games

23:04 ONE PUNCH!!!
"You don't seem to belong here your self" " I am from earthrealm" " I see" that didn't explain anything
Praying for “PlayStation 5 remaster coming soon”
This game would have gotten a 100/10 if @1:03:14 he said not to fear shujinko is here
Great video. Great Game.
Imagine onaga comes back 😁
Wait shujinko wasted his youth in prison and then he gets out an old man, WTF

The Realm of Order were pretty brutal and merciless with there rules
