Johnny's treating Kenshi with the medicine and giving him back Sento and his iconic headband are going to go down as some of the best friendship/"bro" moments in the entire franchise.
i like to believe that liu kang set up the timeline so that johnny and kenshi had what kung lao and liu kang could have had in the previous timeline(s)
It's great to appreciate what Johnny was doing for Kenshi but let's not forget that Kenshi saved their butts like 4-5 times and saved Johnny's life. Johnny was incredibly grateful and that's where the giving of the blindfold and Sento stemmed from. Kenshi more than earned it and Johnny knew it, he even mentioned it several times. The dynamic between these two was done so well you really feel it
This is by far the best version of Johnny Cage. He wasn't that insufferable as his past re-makes and became great but with Kenshi's help. And only Johnny can become best friends with someone who tried to rob him as a first impression.
MKX and 11 had a good Johnny too, he got older and matured a lot. Even in 9 he wasn't too bad, he was cocky and annoying but when they told him to kill Baraka he refused, showing that deep down he's a good person. But I do agree that MK1 had the best first impression Johnny, him and Kenshi's friendship is goated.
@@elihugonzalez2945I think most likely he’ll have sort of the tarkat look but his face will be more human while still keeping his signature move set with his arm blade and what not.
@@kasagrim7215I really want that too. Baraka does deserve some peace. I like this timeline don't get me wrong but the ending of this story was kinda eh. But ain't gonna lie what we got was pretty good
so Kenshi, someone who uses a cool sword, can move things with his mind and read minds, had a clan of people like him, and then most of them were killed, the clan is no more and the survivors are hiding. They have to make a Jedi looking skin for Kenshi
One moment I like with Johnny and Kenshi is throughout the story, he keeps saying "he'll get Sento back" but when Johnny actually gives Sento back, he's like "Johnny, I can't"
I’m glad Johnny is very protective of Kenshi when they have to escape the lab and fight Quan Chi in the Living Forest. Really wanna see this friendship/bromance flourish even more in the next instalment.
Risks his life to save Johnny, runs into battle blind to protect the others without knowing Sento was going to help him. Kenshi is a bro for real. I also love how Liu Kang slips by saying he was hoping Kenshi wouldn’t go blind this time and Kenshi catches him.
I also like how Liu Kang doesn't just ignore that and just apologizes for misspeaking. That feels like a real response someone would say. 'Oh, sorry, brain fart!'
I like the idea of Johnny, Syoth, Ashrah, Smoke, Kung Lou, and Kenshi hanging out at Johnnys house drinking beers, eating pizza, watching Predator, Back to the Future, and It’s a Wonderful Life together.
This is probably the best Johnny Cage iteration to date, instead of be the Kenny of the series in Midway era or be an Asshole who was forced to mature off screen by fatherhood, now is much clear that always has that heroic side on him and only was in a low point of his life and only needed of guidance and true partnership
Johnny was kinda right that to be successful he had to project it. Public image is big in Hollywood, if you're seen cutting back a significant amount then you're basically declaring "I'm struggling"
I like to think Liu Kang made Johnny a lot nicer in this timeline.....but still JUUUST pompous enough that him getting his ass kicked is still comic relief
I love the adventure group that is Johnny, Kenshi, Kung-Lao, Reptile, Ashrah and Baraka, and I kinda wish we had more of the six killing off the forces of evil together.
I'm a huge Kenshi fan, I got my hands on a Sento replica a few years back and it is proudly displayed on my wall. I was delighted to see him in a large role in this series. Love your content and your enthusiasm for the series, your channel really helped bring me from a casual fan of MK into a die hard. Keep up the good work.
Even with his sight ripped away from him, Kenshi's will to fight and his warrior's heart remains intact, to me Sento is not his true power, it is how he fights but his will to protect the people he loves even when certain he will loose is what drives him forward.
I like how this Johnny is essentially the same as the others, but slightly less corny, is more kind and shows he is reliable early on. Sure, his start with Kenshi was not the best, but not only does he warm up to him, after seeing Kenshi suffer for a mistake he made, he pulled all the stops to help him (giving him medicine, carrying him, subtly describing the surroundings, giving him back Sento). That relationship is better than what we got with Johnny and Sonya in earlier games.
I like that at his base/starting, Johnny is a bit arrogant, but he is deservedly arrogant given how good he is. Flawed. Yet he is also knowledgable. He knows the things he keeps and when it becomes clear that thigns have gone off the deep end? He tries to keep what framing he knows, but he isn't the eternal skeptic. Most of all when the chips are down. He steps up.
Id like to think before sonya there was chris then when chris left kenshi came into his life id say it was a BI moment in this johnnys timelime a love at first fight sorta bromance and helping eachother despite their flaws bromance to others but i see is a strong loving relationship among the hidden in tje game
I feel kenshi being blind is almost like a paradox that it will always happen as he was blind in two timelines and now in a third, and all of his doubles seen in the final battle even his Rain hybrid was blind. Not even restarting time can fix it.
Imagine if you could use the failures of test of strength tests as a truer test of strength/skill by quick combo deflections that start new matches if you fail to win at the match it ends in an automatic extreme brutality, which is think other players would just love. Either way.
That showed her true nature and why all those who defended her are simps simply since she's a girl. She was trying to control him, and she couldn't, so she left and now he's going to be raking in the billions rather than the millions he did before and she's going to be left in the dust.
It's a possible Metroid reference because the main antagonistic is a small girl Samus, the game has alien type monsters, Ridley is a boss in the game. He probably says Ripley because of copyright or licensing issues with Nintendo

Yeah exactly!
He had a great evolution in 9-11 though.
No idea why Kenshi though. Could be a female who's not Sonya.

Who would've thought that a 3 million dollar sword could lead into a powerful bond of friendship??
Yet all that money would never be enough to buy friendship and loyalty. They both learnt how to earn it despite starting with the left foot.

Can I just say, I love Baraka in this new timeline, I hate that he'll eventually lose his mind but he became a noble good guy
I'm hoping they find a way to stop the disease.

I agree he looks crazy cool.
Johnny Cage's character delevopment always holds up. And his much more educated and smarter than he appears. He did a solid for Kenshi. Good on him.
Johnny and Kenshi is honestly a duo I never expected let alone one I expected to work well. Yet somehow they pulled it off.
They were a pretty amazing duo in MKX's story as well from what I recall. The old guard from MK9 who both had kids.
so Kenshi, someone who uses a cool sword, can move things with his mind and read minds, had a clan of people like him, and then most of them were killed, the clan is no more and the survivors are hiding. They have to make a Jedi looking skin for Kenshi

Johnny makes so many callbacks, it's great.
Its funny how the pool floatee just popped out in 2:29 , as if Liu Kang's arrival just affected the timeline.
Man even the floatees wanna see the fight
Risks his life to save Johnny, runs into battle blind to protect the others without knowing Sento was going to help him.
Kenshi is a bro for real. I also love how Liu Kang slips by saying he was hoping Kenshi wouldn’t go blind this time and Kenshi catches him.
I know right! Kenshi is the real deal❤
You can't escape fate, as they say. He probably takes it as punishment for his dark past 😔
I also like how Liu Kang doesn't just ignore that and just apologizes for misspeaking. That feels like a real response someone would say. 'Oh, sorry, brain fart!'
absolutely love how they did their story, such a Bro Johnny Cage

Was watcing a jhony cage internatioa love edit and came to this masterpiece
When he realize he is about to lose his life and he knew he has to trust him in the end.
2:29 random pink floatie appears. Magic
Even with his sight ripped away from him, Kenshi's will to fight and his warrior's heart remains intact, to me Sento is not his true power, it is how he fights but his will to protect the people he loves even when certain he will loose is what drives him forward.
Telling Kenshi to “Watch him” is fuckn hilarious 😂😂😂

Man the chemistry between these two are amazing especially when I playing the campaign, that part lowkey made me sad but brother love🤝🏾🤝🏾
