Too bad MK11 ended with another universal retcon. It would've been awesome to see a "GorOnaga" as a final boss for MK12. Imagine going up against a Dragon Shokan hybrid.
Bro Onaga has such a scary aura around him because mainly even Shao Kahn was scared of him lol like in my eyes Shao Kahn wasn’t even scared of the elder gods 😂
There's some intros in MK11 that say Kotal killed Goro after he became the vessel. Maybe after Kenshi's stab, Onaga is banished, and Kotal executes base (maybe armless again) Goro?
@@SupportGamin2024 I wouldn't say that though since in his chapter, he did held his own against a lot of people. And to his defense, Rain did blocked off the sun to weaken Kotal Kahn powers when he and Goro faced up against him. I'll say him losing against Kung jin was bad writing.
I honestly get why Goro would be drawn to the egg, not only to regenerate his arms but because Goro himself was said to be half human, half dragon, it makes sense for him to blend himself with the embodiment and power of Onaga, same for Reptile, dragons are flying reptilian beasts with breathing fire, i would’ve loved to see Onaga return to Mortal Kombat more powerful and menacing than he was in Deception
Alot of the 3d era characters could be overhauled and look badass on next gen. Ashra, Havok... hell, even Shujinko and Kobra could be rebooted into awesome characters.
It’s not like Omaga wasn’t powerful or intimidating, it’s just he wasn’t too involved in the story enough, unless you count Damashi. He’s pretty much the Thanos of the MK universe, it took literally every character attacking him at once to take him down. He just wasn’t written very well, and felt kinda shoe horned into the end of Deception.

I really like Onaga the Dragon King and it would have been cool to see what he would look like when fused with Goro. And they should bring Onaga back soon for more story and more indepth look toward his past.
Who wrote MK Deadly Alliance & Deception? Bring them back, those games had the best storylines. This was good info to know about though I appreciate this, I loved the MKX comics.
@LegendOfLegends19100 oh ok, the transition from deadly alliance to deception is still epic til this day, everyone thought the good guys were gonna win. Nope. lol gotta be top 1-2 MK intros
It is a shame the comics stopped and ended at a cliff hanger really enjoyed reading them. This is intresting and awesome we definetly need a new comic series. Onaga is Netherrealm's trump card everyone wants him back also Shujinko should be involved in this story.
I would love to have these 2 characters back cause MK Deception is by far my favorite MK game and I think they are amazing characters and could only imagine how much they can improve on em from the original story or change to fit with the other characters
Idk why Netherrealm studios wont go ahead with the return of onaga storyline. Hes a great underrated character that if written and done correctly will be a problem for everybody!!!

This was something i was so excited about this when i heard sheeva and lui kangs intro Also the great thing is that this technically happened in cannon and the world is over so it dosen't matter anyway
If they add Onaga to the next game or mk11 later from now, it would be better than a Thanos reveal, we need him to come back sooner or later and the reveal needs to say "I am...The One Being"

But I like the way the writer says like because of kronika anything can be Canon so this is official headcanon I don't care. Pc somebody should make a petition to make Mortal Kombat X comic series 2 comes to a reality.
No, just no. It pretty much defeats the purpose of canonization if it's done for the official. The fanonization is pretty much an interpretation of what the canon storyline be like.
I was so looking forward to seeing Onaga in game wish this comic could've been released. Its nice to get a ending summary about how all the cliff hangers come to a close to present us with MKX
I too wish Frost and Sub Zero would have gotten more fleshed out. In Mk 11 it felt like she hated him for no reason other than his decision to end the feud with Scorpion's clan which didn't track because she wasn't there for that.
Thanks so much for this video. I loved the MKX comics and I have loved the way that Shaun has deepened the mythology in this new timeline after MK9. I think it's more interesting than the original timeline. It's disappointing we didn't get a Series 2 of MKX comics as I would have loved to see Goro as the Dragon King. I've been an MK fan since it began, I'm old as dirt and thanks to Shaun and others for making the games more interesting than ever.

Nothing against you but him saying that he watched you for finding out about fighters history tells me there no one at Netherrealm really keeping track of the lore. Plus if that's the case then why did they get Sindel so wrong?

Well, according to him he was one of two writers. He also mentioned writing a lot of the character interactions. It’s unclear(as I haven’t looked into it much) which parts of the story he wrote. Besides, I imagine he had a bit more creative freedom in writing the comics than he did with NRS looking over his shoulder for the game.
Thank you for this video !! Been waiting for it ever since you announced it - big thanks for Shawn Kittelsen for coming in to tell the story. This was absolutely awesome, I always wondered what could have been with the comics.
I miss rains mk9 design because he’s my favorite character it was awesome hopefully it will come back one day if he’s a dlc in mk 11 which I hope he is also I wish we got more of frost in the comics I kinda liked her I wish these came out maybe netheralm can make them one day
Goro was so iconic. Its a shame they weakened him so much in canon. From going 500 years unbeaten to getting his arse whipped every time he fights kinda implies that the great Kung lao and older warriors were pretty weak tbh. His mystique is ruined as he should be near unbeatable
We would love a video like this from John Vogel after MK Armageddon with the rest of lost bios so this is probably one of the most amazing videos ever. MKX comics was my dream come true and I will love more kontent but I hope that Dominic took notes from Kittelsen's passion and work to deliver something really special in the next games. Thanks a lot HBTW for this video :D
I wish Mortal Kombat had long running comics so it can truly flesh out its world and characters. The games are to short to tell long stories that would be great at utilizing all the characters (Classic Era and 3D alike).
That would of been amazing to see as art. Disappointed WB and NRS didn't get it going, its like they just don't care about the more relevant narratives of this game. I do feel like this version of Onaga was kinda nerfed compared to his original timeline version. It took the combined powers of nearly every character in MK Deception and more to harm Onaga enough for Nightwolf to seal him in the Netherrealm.
You know what kind of game should mk12 be? A conquest game where you get to explore all 6 realms and do fun quests and stuff for characters, like Deception but better.
22:00 it couldve also had the potential to subtly explain why in that part of mkx we fight kenshi in his possessed variation when it never shows up anywheres else in story mode.
I hope Onaga is made more slimmer because in DECEIPTION, I whooped him easily by doing as my Cobra Kai Sensei John Kreese said.... SWEEP THE LEG! I had no issue with cheap win against Onaga.
You and me both. I don’t see how he could go from writing that awesome comic to writing another trash story for an MK game. Actually he claims he was writing the in game fight dialogue and that’s always been well done but the story itself sucks
I don’t know I feel like Netherrealm has made their stance on Sindel already. They chose an evil story for her and that’s just how it will be until the next installment of Mortal Kombat and if Sindel is part of the cast as well.
Sai I agree I liked her during the old games too. She was loyal, loving, benevolent, strong, different from the rest because she had a big heart contrary to her outside gothic appearance. Lol I hated how they made her seem good during aftermath but then she was actually evil then was nothing more then a puppet and died by having her soul taken.
Pro- Deepening the relationship between Sub-Zero and Frost Cons- Lessens the threat level of Onaga, over plays Sub-Zero and Frost's power, makes Kenshi's sword into a McGuffin, no Shujinko who is one of the most important part of Onaga's story, ignores how the black dragon got Shinnok's amulets plot so no Kano or Tremour, served no real purpose in in developing the other characters verdict, it's a no from me, sorry
Thanks to Shawn Kittelsen for this! Now I really want to see how it will look like in the comics. A pity we never got to read this... This would be about my favorite Sub-Zero. But I'm glad we could get this information. Now at least I can imagine
Feels like Mortal Deception All over again.. but instead is Mortal Kombat Deception 2.. looks like Goro wants to be a vessel for Onaga.. Frost would of been a great good girl to protect the Great Dragon Egg.. So now Dragon King Goro would of be an awesome boss battle for another Mortal Kombat Game.. I want Taven to return.. I do miss Orin and Caro.. Plus I wonder what Blaze would look like now in the present day of the timeline.. I can see that Happening for Mortal Kombat 12..
Imagine Lui Kang and Goro fighting near the egg. It gushes light and liquid from the egg onto them both, Kang imbued with armored scales on his arms like tattoo sleeves, Dragon animality, and more powerful flame magic while Goro gains horns, Ghidorah like wings where his top arms are, and moderate sorcery, thus splitting the essence of Onaga, containing half his soul in both bodies. A new timeline emerges, with both retaining their minds and body but still become slightly corrupted by Onaga's presence. They both announce their own MK tournament simultaneously, Elder Gods agree, creating the first ever Double Dragon Mortal Kombat tournament held every 10 months instead of 10 years.
If Shawn reads this...Shao Kahn is supposed to be the same race as Raiden. I.E a god, as per dialogue from MK Deception. That's not head canon, that was stated in game ;)
@@Annishark Typical. Just like people responsible for shitting up Star Wars have recently started to peddle idea, that "canon is not important" to cover the fact that their writers can't write for shit.
All of this sounds really awesome and I wish that we would've been able to see some of it. I'm just wondering though since he indirectly mentioned that Taven would've been shown to be awake at this time ( Kenshi and Takeda's MKX ending's also have them meeting Taven) if the destined clash between Taven and Daegon ever happened? Raiden prevented Armageddon with the death of Shao Khan at the end of MK9 so Taven and Daegon being a failsafe for the realm's safety wouldn't have been necessary. So now I'm thinking of a potential What if basically either being What if Taven was involved in MKX or more likely What if Taven was involved in the events of MK11?
Idk if there was a ever a name for the Goro Ornaga form but I'm definitely seeing a Gornago for a name. Four arms, 2 big set of wings...maybe Horns🤔😏. Yes add horns. This actually does play put the comics in a full circle way. Definitely much needed.
If this comic was made a reality, not only would we see the return of the Dragon King, but also piece together how after Goro was defeated by Kotal Kahn a second time with the assistance of the Shokan, he ended up rotting on his chair inside his lair beneath Shang Tsung’s island. I have been wanting to see Onaga come back forever, cause he’s actually my favourite Mortal Kombat villain next to Shang Tsung. In my head, I always figured that no matter how many times history got rebooted, the return of the Dragon King was a fixed point in time that couldn’t be changed. And apparently it doesn’t matter who his vessel is, whether it’d be Reptile, or in this case Goro.
Wonder what four armed Onaga would’ve looked like.
I think it would be like smaug from the hobbit movies were his second pair of arms are wings-arm hybrids.
Like Onaga but with four arms
@@olofacosta3192 that would suck
@@jhevgainz2307 would make way more sense and kinda explain why shokans have 4 arms.

This is a better story than MK11 was wow... i really enjoyed this.
bruh we need this as more DLC for mk11, it’ll definitely be the best DLC ever with kenshi, takeda, kung jin?, goro, daegon, and onaga/taven?
You seem like a really sound guy. I look forward to your future projects.
This is among the best youtube videos made. Thank you both so much for sharing an awesome story I've been wanting for a long time!
I miss rains mk9 design because he’s my favorite character it was awesome hopefully it will come back one day if he’s a dlc in mk 11 which I hope he is also I wish we got more of frost in the comics I kinda liked her I wish these came out maybe netheralm can make them one day
I'm from the future he's in 11
That’s so much, what a epic video! So many thangs answered I was wondering about.
Thanks again so vary much!
Bring back tobias, no disrespect to these writers but they just destroying the legacy

Goro was so iconic. Its a shame they weakened him so much in canon. From going 500 years unbeaten to getting his arse whipped every time he fights kinda implies that the great Kung lao and older warriors were pretty weak tbh. His mystique is ruined as he should be near unbeatable
They need to have onaga as a playable character in the next mk
We would love a video like this from John Vogel after MK Armageddon with the rest of lost bios so this is probably one of the most amazing videos ever. MKX comics was my dream come true and I will love more kontent but I hope that Dominic took notes from Kittelsen's passion and work to deliver something really special in the next games. Thanks a lot HBTW for this video :D
Thought this would've gone a little past the main mkx story and kenshi would get killed by onagoro and dumped in goros lair since he's not in mk11 :p
I wish Mortal Kombat had long running comics so it can truly flesh out its world and characters. The games are to short to tell long stories that would be great at utilizing all the characters (Classic Era and 3D alike).
That would of been amazing to see as art. Disappointed WB and NRS didn't get it going, its like they just don't care about the more relevant narratives of this game. I do feel like this version of Onaga was kinda nerfed compared to his original timeline version. It took the combined powers of nearly every character in MK Deception and more to harm Onaga enough for Nightwolf to seal him in the Netherrealm.
You know what kind of game should mk12 be? A conquest game where you get to explore all 6 realms and do fun quests and stuff for characters, like Deception but better.
I swear History behind the warrior is The Moral Kombat Version of Geekdom 101 he always bringing great content
Thank you for this.
22:00 it couldve also had the potential to subtly explain why in that part of mkx we fight kenshi in his possessed variation when it never shows up anywheres else in story mode.
I hope Onaga is made more slimmer because in DECEIPTION, I whooped him easily by doing as my Cobra Kai Sensei John Kreese said.... SWEEP THE LEG! I had no issue with cheap win against Onaga.
I once wished that Shawn Kittelsen would write MK11, I want to take that wish back now.
You and me both. I don’t see how he could go from writing that awesome comic to writing another trash story for an MK game. Actually he claims he was writing the in game fight dialogue and that’s always been well done but the story itself sucks
this is freaking great, loved series and would love to have seen 4 armed onaga/goro fusion
I always wanted to know how Goro carried Kenjis body without any arms
How would he even fight? Spam his teleport stomp?

Would he still have fire powers?
Skewered on his dragon weiner
Teeth
MY question is, how does he feel on the new Sindel?
I don’t know I feel like Netherrealm has made their stance on Sindel already. They chose an evil story for her and that’s just how it will be until the next installment of Mortal Kombat and if Sindel is part of the cast as well.
@@telbiyano9575 I think they know the fans that played previous games (me) are like yeahhhhhhh no fuck that the old sindel is the only canon one
he wrote it
His answer was that our "head canon" is valid as the canon of the game...
twitter.com/kittelsen/status/1199759860511850496
Well Shawn and Dominic did create this (awful) version of Sindel, and since we know Netherrealm is not the brightest they would both be proud
Sai I agree I liked her during the old games too. She was loyal, loving, benevolent, strong, different from the rest because she had a big heart contrary to her outside gothic appearance. Lol I hated how they made her seem good during aftermath but then she was actually evil then was nothing more then a puppet and died by having her soul taken.
Pro- Deepening the relationship between Sub-Zero and Frost
Cons- Lessens the threat level of Onaga, over plays Sub-Zero and Frost's power, makes Kenshi's sword into a McGuffin, no Shujinko who is one of the most important part of Onaga's story, ignores how the black dragon got Shinnok's amulets plot so no Kano or Tremour, served no real purpose in in developing the other characters
verdict, it's a no from me, sorry
I may not like Kittlesen's work, he does seem like a good person
I would love to see some of Goronaga in future stuff!
Thanks to Shawn Kittelsen for this! Now I really want to see how it will look like in the comics. A pity we never got to read this... This would be about my favorite Sub-Zero. But I'm glad we could get this information. Now at least I can imagine
Feels like Mortal Deception All over again.. but instead is Mortal Kombat Deception 2.. looks like Goro wants to be a vessel for Onaga.. Frost would of been a great good girl to protect the Great Dragon Egg.. So now Dragon King Goro would of be an awesome boss battle for another Mortal Kombat Game.. I want Taven to return.. I do miss Orin and Caro.. Plus I wonder what Blaze would look like now in the present day of the timeline.. I can see that Happening for Mortal Kombat 12..
Imagine Lui Kang and Goro fighting near the egg. It gushes light and liquid from the egg onto them both, Kang imbued with armored scales on his arms like tattoo sleeves, Dragon animality, and more powerful flame magic while Goro gains horns, Ghidorah like wings where his top arms are, and moderate sorcery, thus splitting the essence of Onaga, containing half his soul in both bodies.
A new timeline emerges, with both retaining their minds and body but still become slightly corrupted by Onaga's presence. They both announce their own MK tournament simultaneously, Elder Gods agree, creating the first ever Double Dragon Mortal Kombat tournament held every 10 months instead of 10 years.
If anyone likes this concept, I'd like to work with an artist or artists in creating fan-fic type comics.
If Shawn reads this...Shao Kahn is supposed to be the same race as Raiden. I.E a god, as per dialogue from MK Deception. That's not head canon, that was stated in game ;)
Maybe Raiden still had some visions left like that one of Onaga and found the dragon egg, and gave it to the grandmaster
Everyone's head cannon is valid✊
C0da makes it canon
*Canon
"Canon" not "cannon"!
Bad idea.
@@ShadowSumac its what kittelsen saidwhen confronted with what a mess his sindelstory is
@@Annishark Typical.
Just like people responsible for shitting up Star Wars have recently started to peddle idea, that "canon is not important" to cover the fact that their writers can't write for shit.
All of this sounds really awesome and I wish that we would've been able to see some of it. I'm just wondering though since he indirectly mentioned that Taven would've been shown to be awake at this time ( Kenshi and Takeda's MKX ending's also have them meeting Taven) if the destined clash between Taven and Daegon ever happened? Raiden prevented Armageddon with the death of Shao Khan at the end of MK9 so Taven and Daegon being a failsafe for the realm's safety wouldn't have been necessary. So now I'm thinking of a potential What if basically either being What if Taven was involved in MKX or more likely What if Taven was involved in the events of MK11?
Thank you for your awesome work, Shawn :)
This is sooo dope man!!! Congratulations🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your time and efforts... ✊💯💯💯✊
THIS WAS AWESOME!
Goro/onaga should be the best DLC in Mortal Kombat 1 in my case
Idk if there was a ever a name for the Goro Ornaga form but I'm definitely seeing a Gornago for a name. Four arms, 2 big set of wings...maybe Horns🤔😏. Yes add horns.
This actually does play put the comics in a full circle way. Definitely much needed.
Imagine this in a game story mode , this would be 10 times better than mkx and mk11!
If this comic was made a reality, not only would we see the return of the Dragon King, but also piece together how after Goro was defeated by Kotal Kahn a second time with the assistance of the Shokan, he ended up rotting on his chair inside his lair beneath Shang Tsung’s island. I have been wanting to see Onaga come back forever, cause he’s actually my favourite Mortal Kombat villain next to Shang Tsung. In my head, I always figured that no matter how many times history got rebooted, the return of the Dragon King was a fixed point in time that couldn’t be changed. And apparently it doesn’t matter who his vessel is, whether it’d be Reptile, or in this case Goro.
So this is the guy responsible for fucking up Mortal Kombat?
Amazing story. Wow such an outstanding feature. MKX S2
Worst part is that he did Cyrax double dirty by doing the same thing to him TWICE
This story would make for a great Shaolin Monks type of spinoff game
