@@JF59122it's because we're so used to mileena being mean and she's just really nice and once she gets enraged with her tarkatan disease she focuses on protecting people instead of hurting them. It's kinda cute lol
What's not to like about Kenshi? He's very humble and friendly. He has had a bad past with the Yakuza but he left that life and reformed. Kenshi is one of my favorites in this game. I'm a sucker for nice guys and Kenshi is one of the nicest aside from Liu Kang.
Vic Chao IS Kenshi and an amazing one at that. I could tell immediately that he was back from the first clip of Kenshi and I couldn’t have been happier 🫶
@@_bluebyrd2018they didn't? They've basically meant that this is definitive Kenshi voice, like Kevin Conroy is THE (voice of) Batman. Same logic applies here.
Back when kenshi was not blind. He had a serious angry look on his face less humour, but now he is more friendly, more humour all because he hang out with Johnny
Sindel: "Show me the skills of Earthrealms greatest swordsman." Kenshi: "Greatest? Johnny's been talking to you hasn't he?" Love that one the most for how wholesome it is. Now I can just imagine Johnny going around as Kenshi's hype man bragging about his best friends skills to others characters.
Kenshi Takahashi aka the Matt Murdock of the MK universe. I love that he returned in this latest installment and he more sleek than ever before. Mileena and Kenshi are giving me Daredevil and Elektea vibes. I adore it. The chemistry is dangerous
I'm not surprised, Kenshi was quite polite to him, he even wanted to shake his hand, all the shit that baraka went through before like being isolated with other infected people and being used for his blood, having a person come up to you for a dialogue must have generated respect for him.
At 0:37 when the mk 1 kenshi asks whos the keeper of time to the other kenshi he responds "kano" as in the kano from mortal kombat: Legends Snowblind. Kano in that movie got hold of kronika's crown. and controlled time to his biding. This was an awsome refrence.
My favorite character of the game. I just love his aesthetic, voice, and design (man, does Kenshi look _good_ ). Seeing him broing it up with Johnny during the story was icing on the cake.
A great warrior doesn’t rely on just their eyes for they can be deceived. Once a warrior achieves mastery of their other senses, no foe can stand against them.
I really like Kenshi's modesty and restraint, knowing that he is a former yakuza covered in tattoos from head to toe, especially against the backdrop of the cheeky Johnny Cage. It's so funny and interesting. I love him ❤❤❤
Kenshi will always be my favorite character not only in fighting games, but in video games in general. I'm very fond of him for using him in local tournaments, so seeing him back, with more development and prominence in the story of MK1 makes me feel happy and excited about his future :'^]. Plus they gave him a character archetype in gameplay that's pretty fun and badass to use.
6 hours late, but NO MATTER!!! Hearing Vic Chao’s voice is like listening to an old friend. It’s so good to see him reprise his role as Kenshi when he first voiced him in MKX! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏🤌🤌🤌🤌 ⚔️.
I would actually call Sento the more enchanted blade, because Ashrah's Kriss was made to kill evil, but Sento is powerful enough to literally give Kenshi supernatural abilities.
Watching how Mileena and Kenshi are not indifferent to each other warms my heart very much. I think they complement each other perfectly - a blind swordsman and a magical girl with a beautiful smile :D
Yes! Been waiting for this! I only started following the MK series from MKX and Kenshi was my favourite. Now to see him back in MK1, I’m elated! While the part where he got blinded was truly heartbreaking, I’m so glad he rose to the occasion to be an amazing loyal warrior to his friends. Love the part in the story where he was searching for Reptile when he got into trouble, where he was willing to sacrifice himself when fighting Quan Chi (the part where Johnny gave him Sento). A true honorable swordsman with my highest respect!
Johnny Cage giving Kenshi the Sento is just a very wholesome scene I've witnessed. Their bond grow strong in that one particular action that has done, and the way they change from being rivals at each other to being best friends at the end. It’s good to see all works out. Also, his past relationship about the Yakuza, he wasn't into it he was just used to it.
Guys, feel free to correct me. I am trying to know and understand more about mortal Kombat, I've been into it for just over a month and I have hard time spotting about the lores. So sorry if my English isn't good by explaining these and sorry for accidentally neglecting. I want to also get to understand more about the lore.
I really like Kenshi in this game, he starts off serious and harsh on Johnny cage but after getting Sento and his powers he becomes much more friendly and humorous, I also really love the visual effects of Sento and the Ancestor Ghost Kenshi can summon, I think that Ashrah's dialogue with Kenshi is some of the best, they both have magic swords of their own for different purposes and they brag about who has the better one, Kenshi is definitely one of my favorite characters in this game.
I'd assume so. I have a head canon/theory that he is Rain's father in this timeline (since it is confirmed that Argus isn't) and he died before Rain's birth, so his mother Amara named him after his father. Unless there is something in the game I missed that contradicts this.
Well, considering he would be practically useless in battle without Sento's magical aid yeah, otherwise all his opponents would most likely not even bother attacking him.
Genuinely curious about why or how the Taira clan tangled with the Lin Kuei. Clearly, the Taira clan has some pretty unsavory history, which makes sense considering their IRL history.
I like that how they brought a character from MK X back into this remake of the original game, he’s now my main fighter to play as, along side with Reptile, Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Rain
These videos highlight a major problem I have with 2 dialogue intros, instead of the 3 dialogue intros from MK11. There's agreement between the fighters, no need to fight, but they do anyway.
Me to Kenshi: - If you are blind, you don’t need echolocation to know what’s coming? Kenshi: Nope. My ancestor’s abilities can do far better. -One of my eyes’ abilities actually can see even when blinded. Kenshi: Comparison is not needed. - You could be the first blind Ronin if you choose to. Kenshi: No. I like my life better following my ancestors using Sento. - In your life, have you ever fought Mafia people if you go to places like California or New York. Kenshi: That's different than gangsters, Hy. They go for guns. Kenshi to me: Kenshi: So you weren’t experimented with your eyes? - They were given to me by good reason from a reasonable scientist. Kenshi: The Sento can get other ancestors to fight for me. - Creepy if the sword was alive on its own by fighting a flying sword itself. Kenshi: So Zeus and Thor actually exist with their attributes in your swords? - Unlike Raiden, I fight with my sword combat. Not close combat with lightning abilities. Kenshi: If your from a different solar system with a different Earth, have you fought anything out of the ordinary? -Not only Magic, Sorcery, and Technology, but aliens’ own version of the those three. Kenshi: The Sword Prince doesn’t mean you are actually royal right? - Just an plain alias. Like yours as The Blind Swordsman.

It should be three lines
Mileena expressing regret and apologizing to Kenshi is probably the most uncanny thing I've ever seen in the entire MK franchise.
and how she kinda flirted with him 😊😊
Why? She gouged his eyes out in her madness (not blaming her or anything, she couldn't control it) but yeah if I was in Mileena's place I would definitely be very hesitant and anxious to approach him. How do you even apologize for that? 😢

Honestly glad Kenshi and Johnny ended up being best bros in this game.
That was the Bromance I didn't know I needed until I got it.
Their personalities are similar…Kenshi just dosent joke as much as he’s been through some shit
@@tysontaggart7246 I thought it all started since MKX?
Liu Kang really looked at the timeline and said, "You know what Johnny needs? A friend who's also a straightman to bounce his comedy off of."
@@Jeff-jz5sf Johny is a bit more serious and kenshi is a little less in this timeline
Johnny and Kenshi being best bros is just the best. Also like how Kenshi, Kung Lao, Johnny, Reptile, Baraka and Ashrah are like *THE* friend group.
Not sure about Baraka, he definitely respects them but I don’t think he considers himself close enough to be friends with them
@@bushidotestu1997Nah, Baraka is essentially to Team Friendship
I like that too. I hope the devs maintain that in upcoming games
you forgot raiden!
They are now team three star
I love how the entire royal family are concern about Kenshi's blindness. That's a real wholesome moments right there.
Everyone loves kenshi
Yes, moments like these add depth to the characters.
What's not to like about Kenshi? He's very humble and friendly. He has had a bad past with the Yakuza but he left that life and reformed. Kenshi is one of my favorites in this game. I'm a sucker for nice guys and Kenshi is one of the nicest aside from Liu Kang.
What about Raiden?
He's also a hottie ❤
@@JF59122 I don't mind Raiden. He's a nice guy but I wish he had a little more to work with. MK1 Kenshi is much more interesting than MK1 Raiden.
@@johnathan5906 Yeah there wasn't really much for him to do, maybe we'll see him do more (and Kung Lao) in the DLC...
Then came 10:48 with him bragging about Sento 😂😂😂 But fr tho he’s one of the greatest characters to ever grace the franchise.
2:35
Honeslty nice that mileena apologized for what she did. Kenshi so humble to accept it.
i hate that he blamed himself though :(
Kenshi dialogues be like:
● 15% blind
● 25% yakuza
● 20% sento
● 10% johnny cage
● 30% else
13:58 Dude, a giant lizard monster that can turn invisible and spits acid is offering to help. If anything the Yakuza would be the ones in danger.
Yeah and the yakuza won't able to know where he is hiding until it's too late 😂
AND can turn into a human whenever it wants. The mind games on offer would be hell for the Yakuza.
@@MrJak925 This needs to be a Yakuza substory where Kiryu tries to hunt this invisible shape-shifting monster.

I'm not surprised, Kenshi was quite polite to him, he even wanted to shake his hand, all the shit that baraka went through before like being isolated with other infected people and being used for his blood, having a person come up to you for a dialogue must have generated respect for him.
*KENSHI* is like a mix between a less angry *Scorpion* & a humorous *Johnny Cage*. He can be a bit funny, but he can also be scary when serious.

i really love the gentleman samurai thing he's got going on 😭
A great warrior doesn’t rely on just their eyes for they can be deceived.

Top comment, this needs to be. A perfect summarization of Kenshi himself when put in a master player's hands.
18:29
Kenshi: "i'm not betting Sento on this fight."
Johnny: 🐔
its wild that this Mileena feels bad for taking Kenshi’s eyes. now if it was the other Mileena tho🫠
