- Hello everyone!
And welcome back to another Instalment In my Mortal Kombat series!
With the hype train now finally under way with this weekends incredible reveals at San Diego Comic Con, I figured that seeing as we have tackled his now older brother week, and the ‘blue’ ninja of the franchise, It would only be right today to go over this characters iconic throughout the Mortal Kombat franchise, his ever lasting impact on gaming media as awhile, and the character that really started it all for this very channel!
So today with a new dawn and new era on the horizon, I think that this would be a great opportunity to revisit those older videos, educate you newer fans as well as covering some interesting bits for you older ones, that you may have glossed over! bring you all up to date with this Scorpion In this new breathing world, now mind you before we do begin, a quick disclaimer that currently as of making this video, the identity of Scorpion Is yet to be officially revealed, thus to stream line this video I will be solely focusing on Hanzo Hasashis tale as It would naturally make much more sense for this video!

Kuai Liang has been Tundra,sub-zero, a cyborg, an undead, grandmaster, and now is the new scorpion. Other than Takeda i can’t think of anyone more worthy of the mantle
Lol And Tekeda is back from the dead
@@thesinfultictac5704takers died?
@@thesinfultictac5704takeda
@@yunodespair2661 I don't know but he's got the green glow from evil magic in the new Character Pack
@@thesinfultictac5704nigga that is not takeda at all with the green glow lmao when bro stepped on screen he had a yellow glowing in his armor u fasho talkn bout ermac or Quan chi u need to rewatch that trailer cause I literally read what u said then went to go watch it 💀💀😭😭
I love that Daisuke Tsuji is voicing Kuai Liang in this game, that’s such a great choice. I loved Daisuke as Jin Sakai in Ghost of Tsushima.
Im going to miss Steve Blum portraying Kuai Liang
@@vysheslavuzumati1269 Everyone is young in this timeline, it wouldn't make sense for Steve blum voicing Kuai Liang.
@@blandinembambi991 other voice actors returned for their characters. I get what you’re saying though Steve Blums voice gives off this wise grandmaster vibe which this Kuai Liang is not.
@@vysheslavuzumati1269 Steve is back as Baraka and Baraka is looking to not have a jobber roll anymore so Steve's still playing an important story character :)
We might be getting scorpion As Hanzo Hasashi after bi Han get's killed by kuai then kuai again might go back to sub zero.
He is confirmed to be Kuai Liang in MK1. I feel bad for new people who want to get into the lore because they are gonna be so confused lmao.
It's literally a more confusing time than ever but at least they get a fresh reset and look back at all the confusing past lore.
So fucking stupid and disrespectful to make Kuai Liang Scorpion. I hate it.
But then, again mk1 literally erased all past lore now. I don’t think NRS has a plan for people to take a look into that further now, for new comers.
Probs why did a reset so everyone can keep up with each other whether you are old or new fan
@@nabilahmed579 crazy because I watch a lot of fighting game videos especially Mortal Kombat but don't really play at all, I have mk11 but don't think I touched since I got it 2 years ago mk1 looks interesting I'm really thinking about learning this game & actually play.
I’ve been a fan for 30 years and I’m a little confused. Lol
I’m actually cool with Kuai Liang being Scorpion, due to:
• Race of Cryomancers not being present.
• Gives Hanzo Hasashi the Peace he deserves.
I know they're not really cannon. But scorpions mk 11 ending it's shown that Titans and bigger deity's are responsible for his clans death and no matter how many times he reset the timeline. Just wish it was still hanzo
@@ogmaori754first seson of invasions is focused on hum trying to find timeline where he and his family live in peace
The second point is wgat will dissapoint you as the same kuai liang married hanzos wife. BRUH
@@darklordofgaming2872OG scorpion takin the L 💀
@@ihavenoidea1304 I made the comment before invasions was explored. But I'm playing it now
It's gonna take a while to get use to Kuai liang being scorpion in mk1(2023) but I'm here for it!
What?! He actually is Kuai Liang? I thought he was still Hanzo
@@MaverickX578How ironic. Kuai Liang was a Cryomancer in the Midway and Netherrealm timelines. Now he's a pryomancer in the Fire God timeline.
I'm not sure just yet if I'm cool with the entire mythology/ storyline being swept away, but ill give a chance. I'm for sure not cool with hanzo not being scorpion.
I'm not , they turned my favorite sub zero into scorpion
What da actual fawk 🙄
@@thewolf01x95 okay dude, don’t drop the series just because of one little change, it’s not that serious.
I'm just happy that Hanzo Hasashi is now living a peaceful life with his family...hopefully 🙂.
So excited to see how Kuai Liang becomes Scorpion 🦂🔥
There's no piece in the world of Mortal Kombat.
Im with you let Hanzo be a wife guy
@@DuelingFoodonhopefully he’s not like that one try guy wife guy😬
Hanzo is speculated to be Smoke MK1.
Hanzo is smoke
It would be great to see if a older Hanso had trained Kuai Liang to take his place so Hanso can have a peaceful life.
I also thought that way with Harumi and Satoshi befriends Kuai Liang.
Note: Maybe Hanzo is a former Lin Kuei warrior who had been granted to leave the clan in return to train Kuai Liang control his pyromancer power🤔
I'd like to see Hanzo as their father
@@glenmarkgregorio8167harumi befriended kuai liang but.....
He didn't 😅
I suppose Hanzo Hasashi's family/clan tragedy, leading to his death and becoming a revenant to kill Bi Han Sub Zero, can only be covered so many times. I hope that in MK 1's timeline, Kuai Liang and Hanzo are still friends at the very least. You don't go through ten games to put an end to a centuries long feud between your clans and then let it go up in smoke, figuratively not the grey ninja. No jokes intended there.
Love the voice they chose for this new Scorpion, and I have always loved the detail of the Scorpion tattoo on this Kuai Liang's left arm from first seeing it in gameplay reveal trailers. I remember from an analysis series called Which Ninja?, there was an episode on the accuracy of Scorpion, and somewhat the Lin Quei, to historical ninjas. "Real ninja wear blue." to blend in with the blue-black darkness of night skies is emphasized throughout that series. Scorpion's yellow uniform was made to disrespect that tenant of stealth, opposing the Lin Quei's approach to espionage and assassination stylings even before he opens his mouth or lets a fireball fly. I thought that was kind of cool.
Ironically you bringing up Smoke is what makes me believe Smoke is Hanzo in this new timeline. Smokes parents are killed by the Lin Kuei but he’s taken in and Scorpion aka Kuai Liang considers him a brother, so if he’s Hanzo then they can continue their new friendship but under different identities
@@josephstalin2606would make sense seeing how their friendship ended in MK 11. But I still think Smoke is Tomas tho, but hopefully Hanzo will make an appearance again but maybe as new different kombatant with new fight name and power.
From Gaijin? Love him!!
Hanzo OG Mortal Kombat Scorpion
I've been an MK fan my whole life and I love that even though the series is now on its second reboot, all events within all 12 games are canon as the first timeline caused events to change in the second timeline which is being directly continued in the third timeline.
Should be Hanzo , they just threw away the Shiryia Ryu
They didn't throw away anything you don't get do you?
@@Tribrid-zv3nqnot true
@@SupportGamin2024 then where Is the shiryia ryu
@@SupportGamin2024 then where Is the shiryia ryu
@@Tribrid-zv3nqyears of lore which was retold two times and ended in each of their respective timelines without leaving any plot threads hanging? Yeah, just like what everyone else says, "we've heard it a million times, we don't need to hear it again."
What if Kuai Liang abandons the Lin Kuei and forms the Shirai Ryu and it's revealed that Hanzo is his son or at least one of his first students
It seems from the voice lines that both him and smoke are in the Shirai Ryu
That would be crazy
Hanzo Hasashi is One of the Most Tragic Characters, Losing his Family and Clan, Almost Losing His Humanity and Sense of Honor, a Agenda with the Lin Kuei and Quan Chi, a Tale of Revenge and Redemption, and choosing a Better Future, Hanzo will Always and Forever Will be One One of Mortal Kombat’s most Iconic and Important Characters in the Franchise and whatever his Role will be in MK1, my Personal Theory is that his the Father of this New Versions of Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
...the father who is dead? Presumably murdered by his own son, Bi-Han?
@@wingedbluj1674Exactly
Well supposedly he will be Takkada when leaks first came out for this game it was said and guessed all the kombat pack characters and the identities of subzero and scorpion right on the head...so if all of its true and you zoom in on Takada in a still he looks pretty old so maybe Hanzo is there and we just don't know yet who knows tho honestly
@@codycustis3456 Who Knows really we just have to wait and see
Also heard... and I say "heard cuz I'm not familiar with the lore all the way but supposedly a man named Takeda founded the Ryu and hanzo has went by that name at some point
Scorpion is one ☝️ of the best mortal kombat fighters because he’s a ninja 🥷
It pissed me off finding out they completely left out Hanzo... Having the ninjas as brothers? Well let's wait and see how that goes... Keep up the great work!!!
Yep
I mean it's a bit early to get pissed off.
This is like getting pissed at your mom for not getting snacks from the store when she is coming home from the store, you just don't know.
@@Tribrid-zv3nq
They did that several times to most of the characters for no in-game reason before. This change actually has potential, wait and see you might like it.
Get Over Here! The Scorpion Story.
😆
I’ll never forgive what Creepy Bug Lady did to Hanzo
Fuck D’Vorah💯 Hanzo shouldn’t have went out like that
I’m currently playing MKX. I try to always do fatalities and x-rays on her, haha. 😈
The awesome history of Get Over Here!
What if; In this Era Kuai Liang is the original Lin Quai member that defected and traveled to Japan and met with the great Double H himself trained him and created the Shari Ryu clan with the new of Hanzo.
This channel has come a long way from the old scorpion video
💛 you #SCORPION🦂 1 Septillion times & ❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
Another History of Scorpion video. I'm interested to see Kuai Liang in the mantle of Scorpion.
Your history of video inspires me to remake my own History of Mortal Kombat.
I hope that MK1 makes Scorpion stays human and form the Shirai Ryu, Bi Han becomes a cyborg via Sektor instead of being Noob, and Smoke becomes Noob Saibot and being more of a antihero than a villain
Perfect in depth video on one of my all time favorite MK characters.
It's a little strange that the Elder God would betray Hanzo like that. It's out of character for the gods.
As long as the one being don’t come back, they don’t care
I'm not goin Lie... I'm scared. I pray this Story Mode is one point.
Scorpian will always be my favourite character but chaning him from Hanzo to Kaui Liang hurts a little bit but okay lets see how he fares
My feelings exactly.
This series brought me to your channel years ago
I don’t get why post this updated versions without the game. Much can change
I never realized Hanzo got stabbed by Dvorah in both the MKX story and MK11. It's almost if it was a callback. I was actually surprised she was able to kill him. Both Hanzo and Mileena need to get it back in blood.
Dude I enjoyed these history videos! I would actually like to see you cover Smoke, he’s such a cool character and it’s kinda interesting to see him as the adopted brother of Sub Zero and Scorpion in MK1. Like if anyone agrees!
I always found Smoke to be a very interesting character.
Bro the way you thoroughly explain these videos is amazing
I love your history behind the character videos I still rewatch them. You explain it very well
I feel like if the Human Hanzo survived, he would’ve talked to Kuai Liang I want you to take the scorpion mantle. I wanna live in peace with my family, and I feel like he would’ve talked to Fire God Lue to allow him to live peacefully, or if in all the timelines his family couldn’t be saved he would die with them. 😁
"Passing Of Torch" maybe a great title for that. Or maybe Hanzo will be a father figure to Kuai Liang while happily and peacefully living with Harumi and young Kuai Liang befrends Satoshi as well🙂👍
3:05 - 3:15 That plot idea reminds me of taven and daegon in armageddon.
Hell yes! Been waiting for this one!!!
I like that HBTW actually pronounces Shirai-Ryu correctly
At least Hanzo is getting a well deserved rest & freedom
Love this stuff
This thumbnail is awesome 🦂
Awesome job on this video man nice job
Yes blud been waiting for this one
I feel these History Of videos for MK-ONE are pre-mature. I kind of thought this would be better after the game. More of a nit pick on my end. Very good video and lore.
I have so much I have so much nostalgia for the series MK It's not describeable Anyway appreciate the video keep it up
i love your videos keep doing what your doing
I found the game section in Mortal Kombat where Kuai Liang (Scorpion) discovers that Bi Han is a traitor, i knew that at some point Bi Han will show his true self and betray Kuai Liang and Smoke. Kuai Liang has to face Bi Han in a battle where Bi Han gives Kuai Liang his mark in the corner of his eye and Kuai Liang escapes from the Ling Kuei clan and Bi Han
If it weren't for Hanzo, Liu Kang wouldn't be a Fire God, and he wouldn't of created the new timeline.
Can you explain how? Im so confused
@@Saintpotentially on mk11 there's a cutscene were Hanzo tells Raiden about kharon. Kharon was the person who knew where kronikas hourglass was. And Raiden didn't know kronikas location, and Raiden also didn't know who kharon was, Raiden said if kharon doesn't help than they wouldn't be able to stop kronika. But because Hanzo told Raiden about kharon, Hanzo was the one who got kharon and they were able to defeat kronika.
I've been waiting for this video scorpion is one of my favourite characters alongside takada and fujin
New timeline Kuai Liang/Scorpion is so good looking. His personality makes him even more attractive, loyal and true to himself and his principals, as well as his respect for tradition.
Please make these videos more often so that we can get into MK1 with a background for all characters
thank you so much for this video cause I havent played MK since MK9 so I clearly missed alot and fully intend to play the new one this year but again thank you so much for all you do
I'm not thrilled to hear that Hanzo isn't scorpion in this new time-line, but Kuai Liang is a good choice I guess. Hope he's in ghe game in some capacity
Me big scorpion fan🥰
Me too. 😍
😃@@karnerblue7658
Bihan as Sub is all I need. But it’s bittersweet that Scorpion isn’t Hanzo.
That’s the beef that needed squashed.
The only thing that would piss me off about this change is if Hanzo doesn't get a happy ending.
Scorpion and Sub Zero were a cheat code in the Genesis games
Awesome I can’t wait for the game to be released
I love these videos so much, but kinda wishing you’d wait til MK1 drops for more history of so we can get the full picture
Good morning. Kool video Fam. 👏👏✊
I hope all is well. ☝️
Me halfway through the video: I don't know why y'all keep messing with this fucking man.
Although the MK1 identity switch is controversial, I do like that it's returning to that original abandoned idea.
I do also like it from a storytelling standpoint as Liu gave Hanzo peace (I do still wish it was Hanzo though). Hopefully he'll appear in the next game.
According to Cassie 2 years have passed between MKX and MK11
Hanzo is Smoke
They've already confirmed smoke is still the same in the same interview we learn kuai is scorpion.
I got a feeling scorpion could be the new noob saibot. He'll always have ties with quan chi in every timeline. I should say hanzo
What if in this new timeline *The Netherrealm* is a less violent realm and that Quan Chi is a neutral character who does not side with anyone and he is neither good nor bad 🤷.
I mean...look what Liu Kang did to Edenia & Outworld 😲
@@wonderman7166yeah I could see that. 1thing he'll never change is mileena and Tanya still being woke. He has all this power but wasting his potential. He could of gotten rid of all evil but he hasn't
I'm interested to see how the new Scorpion (Kuai Liang) gain the ability to use Hellfire and what his backstory is.
Scorpion (Hanzo): "Who are you supposed to be Pretender."
Scorpion (Kuai): "My name is Scorpion and I am Lin Kuei."
Scorpion (Hanzo): "We shall see GET OVER HERE!!!"
I wonder if it's even Hellfire. Lu Kang is technically a God of Thunder AND Fire, and I'm fairly certain between him and Bi-Han, Kuai seems like someone Lu Kang knows he can trust with a part of his power
Jesus that's gonna take some getting used to... I mean Scorpion as a Lin Kuei 😮 crazy days
Kuai Liang will honor Hanzo Hasashi as the new Scorpion.
Hanzo will always be The OG 🐲🔥🐲🔥🐲🔥🐉🔥
I never had doubt that Kuai Liang was scorpion. it would make no sense to keep bi han as he is but change kuai liang to hanzo hasashi lol
Then where's Hanzo Hasashi?
Awesome video but just a thought but don't u think it'll be better to do these history videos AFTER the story of the latest game?? So u can have more content and lore in the videos??
(Kratos & Scorpion)
Lost there families
Lost there clans
Betray by the Gods
Knew you'd find a way to be able to detail character histories even with all the retcons/timelines!
Thank the elder gods for your channel. I’m a little behind but I was so hoping you would do new History Ofs cuz this new timeline and the kameos got me all f*cked up
It's weird seeing Kuai Liang become Scorpion in MK1 while he's mentoring a young Hanzo Hasashi with Smoke and Harumi.
Can you do Liu Kang next?
I hope hanzo is still in mk1
I love how scorpion has only hated sub zero in 2 games, and it was only 2 because they rebooted the series, and that’s like what their known for
I just realized that for every different my game his intro changes
Wait a minute I just noticed something.
Go to 26:19 and compare it to 3:06.
It looks like Ed Boon and John are actually using. That scrapped story/idea now. That’s cool.
Why are people saying Kuai is worthy of the mantle of Scorpion when the name Scorpion was never a mantle it was specifically given to Hanzo Hasashi.
Bcoz apparently everything needs to follow the fucking marvel route apparently according to some fans. Sub zero was already a mantle, we didn’t need any more mantle characters.
It’s stupid, I know
Mk1 hanzo hazashi will be noob saibot and come back as a wraith to revenge his families death and realise his son is alive, gaining some humanity back (his son being new smoke)
Kinda makes you wonder... where does this leave Hanzo?
I’m just confused why you wouldn’t wait to post these videos after MK1 drops? Seems like you may need to update the end as we dont know what will happen
That’s what I was thinking too
Views. Drop the vid while the topic is hot, then make more videos after he gets the missing context and even more views
Scropion is so horrible with getting damage in 11. Hope 1 does him right.
So they literally went with the original idea for MK 91 for Scorpion in MK1....this getting deeper than i thought
He really died in mortal kombat 11 because now he’s no longer Hanzo in the new era
It's sorpin son
It’s confusing that Kuai Liang is Scorpion, considering his name means “Quick Cooling” or “Fast & Cool”….I wonder if Hanzo is Smoke
Quite literally the greatest mk character. just make him the main character of a game already ed boy
Playing this on the ally all day today =)
I gotta say.. I actually didn't mind the time line.
I am a tad bit butt hurt that our boy Hanzo is just deleted =/ I'm just hoping we do get another MK movie because he's still there =)
Liu kang next
22:38 Titan goddess🗿
I wouldn't be surprised if they reveal that Hanzo is QL's student and successor to the scorpion mantle
"I will emerge victorious"
Wait a minute scorpion is not Kai alang
I hope next mortal kombat does bring in hanzo but whos to say maybe takeda will be hanzo
I just want to know where Hanzo is
I still hope hanzo will be in mk1 😢my uncle always says I reminds him of hanzo/scorpion
My guess after Kuai leaves he’ll make the Shiri Ryu and have Hanzo as his apprentice when Bi unalives his brother Hanzo takes the mantle of Scorpion to avenge his master
I don't like it. They f'ed up some of my favorite characters.but i'll at least see where they go with the story.hopefully they don't make Kano and Sonya a couple
That’d be weird. Lol
