I doubt it, Subzero or Bi-han was always ambitious and very cold hearted. He was always evil and for what he done in this game there is no redemption, also his rivalry with scorpion is always what kept the series going. It will always be whats permanent.
@@tiaaaron3278 thankfully he’s got a big one from both earthrealm and outworld, and a wife, brother and new clan at his side. Bi Han doesn’t stand a chance.
At least I'll give Shao credit for that one. And him exterminating the Tarkatans lol But yeah, traitors are the WORST form of enemy. There was this quote, don't remember who said it but it went something like: "If I had a single bullet, and if I had to choose between the enemy or the traitor, I'd use it on the traitor."
Shao is not exactly a Traitor, his loyalty is to Outworld from the start, not to Empress Sindel or Emperor Jerrod. He only cared about Outworld Safety and Security, though his methods is quite "Radical" but he got the heart.
In some of Bi-Han's dialogue when he confronts Shang Tsung and general Shao - we see a bit of regret and humanity in the ice ninja, even though he's a stubborn prick who won't show or even admit it.

@@jordanthemystery You’re mistaken! Evil is not solely defined by a single action, but by a pattern of deliberate harm and cruelty towards others. It is when someone consistently chooses to disregard the well-being and dignity of others, inflicting pain and suffering without remorse or empathy. It is the intentional destruction of lives, the manipulation of vulnerable individuals for personal gain, and the relentless pursuit of power at any cost. Evil resides in the darkest corners of our humanity, where compassion and morality are abandoned in favor of selfish desires and malevolence.
@@AtrumSilva is it me or does Sub Zero act more like Scorpion in mk9 driven and blinded by their goals. Plus, both were manipulated by sorcerers to betray the trust of others
@@jordanthemystery A not unfair comparison, but Hanzo was blinded by grief and rage. Bi-Han was blinded by ambition and greed. But you're right, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung played them like a couple of cheap fiddles.
@@AtrumSilva I really hope they don't use the sorcerers to put the brothers against each other I noticed quan chi prefers scorpion while shang tsung prefers subzero I hope they avoid that dynamic
Bi Han is absolutely evil here, but he still shows some signs of regret regarding his betrayal (Sindel’s death and being disgusted at Shang Tsung and Quan Chi’s actions). Also, the fact that he’s not dead means there’s potentially more to his future than just becoming Noob Saibot again. Perhaps somewhere down the line, he’ll be forced to reconcile with Kuai and the Shirai Ryu to face a common foe.
He has more than one path before him. He might become Cyber Sub-Zero, he could redeem himself or he could go Noob allowing someone else to take the Sub-Zero mantle
1:19 I think it's rather interesting Bi Han says this to Kitana. Probably one of the moments he had his humanity. I get a feeling despite him hating his father he genuinely loved his mother even in his line with Smoke he wants her to be proud of his actions. I am interested on how did he become the cold ninja he is now
That's a very good point. He tells Smoke that his mother would applaud his actions. This suggests that his contempt for his father (which was based on the belief his father lacked vision and ambition) does not extend to her. It could even be that in this timeline perhaps Bi-Han and Kuai Liang's mother was also Lin Kuei and it was her that instilled in him the belief in their clan's superiority.
The old Bi-Han had nothing to prove, he didn't have a chip on his shoulder. He was cold strong, his actions spoke for him, while he was kind of an asshole he was the epitome of a great assassin and thief. While I can appreciate the pursuit of ambition, he seeks the aid of anyone who is quick to offer it. A man that wants power is one that forges it himself. He could have turned the Lin Kuei to be more independent without gaining so many enemies. This man really is a shadow of his former self, what happened to the man the beat the elemental gods, turned a demon from evil and truly the best of his clan. They made him to much like Sektor.
That’s also because before Bi Han wasnt to be the successor for the Lin Kuei it was Sektor, if old Bi Han was the actual successor and grandmaster do you really believe he wouldn’t just sell out to whoever offered a better deal? Sub Zeros ending in mk11 proves there’s always a darkness to Bi Hans soul
I don't think sub is necessarily evil in this timeline. He's just extremely ambitious. He may not be a lost cause yet but that kinda depends on who Noob Saibot is gonna be
I'm betting Frost if she ever comes back, she did get a call out in these interactions. She also has alot if the same personality and character traits of Bi Han
Sub Zero in this timeline for now is just a side character sp we have yet to see his complete motives for turning on both his brother and Liu Kang, He is less sypathetic this time than his Original counterpart who was morally dubious but wouldn't betray his own family or be dishonarable and kill someone else's family as the deaths of Scorpion's family was done by Quan Chi, This Bi Han is more villanous as he killed his Father and betrayed his brother, and its not because he was turned into a Corrupted version of his old self. P.S MK1 Sub Zero has a lot more in common with Sektor than his OG Self as he was the one that started the Cyber Intiative this time and is currently hunting his Brother and Smoke, the same way Sektor hunted Sub Zero and Smoke in the OG timeline, Sektor also killed his own father to become Grandmaster similar to MK1 Sub Zero
Ed Boon is still sore over his boyfriend Scorpion losing to him twice in MK Mythologies. So now he wants eternal revenge. This Bi-Han, yes, he is worse than ever - _- Damn near everyone got a happy ending and won. Except him. This Bi-Han never went into the temple of the elements. Never met Sareena or fought Shinnok. He's back after God knows how many years and Eddie couldn't pass up the opportunity to ruin it. Boon AND his writing team of leftist pricks who obviously never did research on the character. Or DID but deliberately gave us... THIS.
At least he didnt died There is hope in a sequel. And i do like his design voice and just overall badassery Also he sympathised with Kitana over sindels death. I think he have a stick up his ass becouse his mother died. Maybe he is like Vergil. A mommas boy who only wants power by any means becouse he feels like he failed.
Yeah I’m a little sad about that too. What I loved about the Bi-Han character was that while he was never a great guy ( ruthless killer was his job) it was shown he was capable of compassion in a couple scenes with Sareena and Kuai Liang ( well, he had to have been at least decent to Kuai to have been so beloved) showing there was some honor and goodness in him. It lead to some depth. I suppose after the MK movie in 21 did so well with him as the villain it was kind of inevitable. I guess the silver lining is that he was on the hood guy side for about the first half of the game?
who cares?! the real Sub-Zero was always Kuai Liang. and since this is a rebooted timeline, Hanzo Hasashi is the new Sub-Zero/Frost thaat joined Shira Rayiu. for watch the ending of Smoke.
Nah, he's written like he's trying to hard. I agree with one of the other comments, before he was cold and silent. He had nothing to prove, but this new one is literally just Sektor
I feel like they're setting up Bi-Han's redemption arc with Sareena being the reason for him being redeemed, since she was saved by Ashra in her ending.
That would be great since the last time Thanks to Bi Han Sareena could redeem herself back in MK Mythologies. Now it can be the other way around in the next game.
That would be a nice call back to Mythologies, and i think it is deserved if i remember correctly she wanted to free him from Quan Chi when he was Noob Saibot so maybe finally she has the chance.
It has never been confirmed by NetherRealm Studios (NRS) that Sareena and Bi-Han were in a romantic relationship in Mythologies. The assumption that he was romantically involved with Sareena is made by some fans.
I freaking love Bi-Han Sub-Zero because he reminds me so much of Vegeta. Plus I’ve always considered Bi-Han as an anti-hero or someone who takes no sides and wants to rule in his own way while defeating his enemies. Also, he reminds of MCU Loki before he turned into a good guy
To be honest, I was expecting Bi-Han to get his redemption in this game (something that I really wanted since he needs one), but maybe the creators showing Bi-Han's flaws and cold side is a way to properly build up his redemption and flesh out his character more, showing us his original personality before doing his redemption. Maybe in the next game, we'll see Bi-Han get it.
Tbh I do somewhat agree with Bi-Han’s point of view, if your entire clan is only dedicated to hiding in the shadows and coming out to defend against threats and then going back into the shadows for a long time, what’s the point of waiting? Why not instead of waiting for a threat, they could help lead the very nation they defend? Sure, the methods and what he did was very wrong, but Bi-Han, like Havik, genuinely thinks that changing is the only way the Lin Kuei can move forward, though it was how he did it was how he betrayed everyone’s trust.
He wasn't interested until Shang Tsung tempted him. Also, he had everything to lose and anything to gain after he was captured. Sure, he could have double-crossed Shang Tsung. shrugs*
5:35 Funny that they reference Frost when Bi Han's extremely blind ambition and need to overthrow people that he feels have power over him basically makes him identical to MK11 Frost. I wouldn't be surprised if instead of becoming Noob Saibot that he, Sektor and Cyrax instead augment themselves with cybernetic implants, becoming a Cyber Sub-Zero and turning the Lin Kuei into the Tekunin.
Bi-Han was not evil but he was callous and ruthless and dedicated to the Lin Kuei. In the original midway timeline, he had experienced the mythologies story line that's why if he had won the mk1 tournament he would have left the Lin Kuei if the ending was to be proved true. In the NetherRealm Studios timeline for some reason he was in the tournament just to assassinate the earthrealm fighters. He either lost to Sonya on purpose, or that was bad writing that he lost cause that Bi-Han also experienced mythologies. This Bi-Han is like the original Bi-Han callous and ruthless and this Bi-Han did not experience mythologies to have a change of heart, he is the cold hearted bastard that he was in the original timeline dedicated to the Lin Kuei before the mythologies storyline
@@assassin8636 some people take the smalls things too seriously and don’t sit back and enjoy the show. I enjoyed every moment of Cringe Zero fall into being a villain. Even more so Liu Kang being Naive on how Bi-Han was taking shots at every corner. Lol
bi han is the sektor of this bew timeline: -only cares about his ambitions. -couldn't care less about earthrealm or its people -killed his father to become the grandmaster -supports the cyber initiative in order to have more power
I love how half of Bi-Han and Rain's interactions is with Rain saying there are limits to amibiton and Bi-Han is pretty much saying "No there is not!" and the other half is both of them being interested in how long they had their powers lol
What's most pathetic about Bi Han is that his goal is ultimately superficial. He wanted to give his clan independence from Lui Kang. Which is understandable, but he does so by working under Shang Tsung. This doesn't even have to do with the matters of good and evil. He was too much of a coward to just try and break free without having to be under someone. To solidify this is that even after Shang Tsung's defeat he goes running to work under Shao. And he even offers to work under Milleena. He clearly doesn't have enough faith in himself or his clan enough to just break free and fend for himself and lead his clan alone.
And considering Liu Kang isn't a tyrannical god who abuses his power, he may have simply let the Lin Kuei make their own decisions if Sub Zero demanded it. Liu Kang doesn't even want worship or anything like that, he just wanted fighters to protect the realm, so Bi-Han's obsession with breaking free from him make no sense.
Oddly I like how similar Rain and Bi-Han are in this game, the main difference being Rain is actually quite remorseful (see his ending). Bi-Han is just persistent and his drive for power paints him in the wrong. Honestly, I don't blame him for wanting more power, they've served Earthrealm but never got to relish in it as he wished. Frost foreshadowing? 5:35
@AmericaChavez710But remember, in the original timeline, Bi-Han as Sub-Zero wasn’t really a bad person. I’d say he’s very much deserving of a chance considering how poorly written he is here.
@AmericaChavez710 In Mythologies he saved Earthrealm after being asked by Raiden and forgave the life of Sareena (a demon) also distrusted Quan Chi a lot and fought him and Shinnok. Was apprehensive to learn that he had Evil in his heart and that he was condemned to go to the NetherRealm when he died. Then he was framed for the Shiray Ryu massacre and was unjustly killed by Hanzo How is he a villain? Yes, he killed Hanzo but that hardly counts given the history of everyone else
@AmericaChavez710Why is it Hanzo can get redemption despite being a worse person than Bi-Han? Why is it everyone is adamant Bi-Han doesn’t deserve redemption when at the end of Mythologies he wanted to change?
@AmericaChavez710 Hanzo, the man who has helped Shinnok invade Earth 3 times in both timelines, is not worse than Bi-Han? Hanzo, the man who tortured Kuai Liang when Kuai didn’t want to fight. Hanzo, the man who doomed all the revenants & made the SF weaker whilst doing so. That Hanzo is not worse? They assassinated Bi-Han’s character in this game & people like you who don’t know the lore just go along with it.
bro is literally sektor... this isnt bi-han. that man was never ambitious for power. he was a morally grey anti-hero who killed only when he was ordered to/when necessary. he never took pleasure in his life as a lin kuei. above all bi-han was loyal to his family, clan, and earthrealm. yes, he was an angry and impatient guy but he was much more nuanced than people gave him credit for.
i do love that rain appears to have regret of his action, his ending also points that way. maybe the next mk game we will finally get a rain chapter like how they did with our boys baraka and reptile
Interesting that in the previous game Noob Saibot claimed that he would not have allowed women into the Lin Kuei. Evidently that was due entirely to adherence to tradition rather than any kind of prejudice. Since that tradition does not exist in this timeline (Madame Bo is a retired Lin Kuei), Bi-Han has no problem with women being in their ranks.
I love how everyone learned that Bi-han ruined the Lin Kuei and almost everyone is PISSED at him for it, the only downside to this is you cant really listen to these intros if you havent finish the story mode yet.
@@majorfanboy2005probably because he is portrayed as mostly a straight-up villain and evil. Bi-Han when not Noob was a very neutral character, not truly good or evil.
@@majorfanboy2005 so? He’s literally just a cartoon villain in this. They did justice by Kuai liangs scorpion, but that’s not surprising since NRS favorites him over sub zero.
@@majorfanboy2005 The main issue is we aren't really given a good reason why Bi-Han is like this besides vague daddy issues and the desire for power born out of an unspecified reason. Sure it is a different timeline but the other versions of Bi-Han should be respected and serve as a basis for the new one. He has some potential left and a hope of redemption, however small it may be.
I really hate his characterization here. He's already like Noob in this game when there is supposed to be a contrast between the two. If he's already evil than the Noob transformation means nothing. I was hoping they would actually develop his brotherly relationship with Kuai Liang on screen for once.
honestly, its not that bad if u think about it, this has ALOT of potential, Bi-Han is a mirror to Scorpion here, full of rage but in different circumstances Bi-Han's is ambition while Hanzo's was revenge, id actually be a cool plot twist if Kuai Liang becomes Noob Saibot instead of Bi-Han, even better if he dies and turns into him because of his actions related to bi-han whether its saving him or being bestrayed ect. then Hanzo Hasashi will become the new Scorpion (just like how Bi-Han dies to become noob and Kuai Liang becomes the new Sub Zero)
I think ultimately Bi-Han does regret his betrayal and not just because it failed, he genuinely didnt know the depths of their depravity and was blinding by anger towards Liu Kang and Greed Hopefully he gets some redemption
The fact they had scorpion beat subzero and then just leave was so lame, it would of been more compelling if he lost, subzero couldnt bring himslef to kill him and then he escaped to form his new clan. Shao not winning any fights was also lame. NetherRealm really didnt learn the right lessons from aftermath, if they are going to stick with this chapter system the villians also need chapters and not just ones where they are temporarily teamed up with the heros. You cant take the villians seriously if they never manage to get any wins.
So, they made Sub-Zero an a-hole again. Like, Bi Han was a-hole in previous two timelines and now he is an a-hole in square. And I hoped to see him as a good guy. Well, at least we have Baraka and Reptile as good guys. Especially Reptile, because he is amazing!
Well if you look at it from bi-hans perspective he did make the better choice for his clan. His encounter with ermac and the dragon army showed him that even if they somehow managed to win the Lin kuei would take heavy loss if they fought. If he didn’t fight and joined shao and Shang, he would gain more power, respect and freedom for the Lin kuei. Yes he made the wrong choice for the realms but had the best intentions for his clan.
The Lin Kuei are to serve Earthrealm from the beginning of this new timeline, now they are no better than mercenaries and assassins they were in the previous. Imagine if Sonya Blade or Jax decided that the special forces should be fit to govern instead of serving the greater good or the people.
Thank you, Ed Boon, for handing us the single most nigh-irredeemable character in this game that almost no one wants to see redeemed in future titles-makes it perfectly justified to have him killed off in the next game, doesn't it? Such a perfect revenge against Bi-Han and the Sub-Zero mantle, to forever spit on the characterization he had in all forms of media which placed him a cut above your dearly beloved Scorpion and made him look weak before John Tobias left you, isn't it? How does it feel to have so thoroughly destroyed a character and have that character be such a nearly one-dimensional villain in a game full of characters taken in novel directions which includes formerly one-dimensional villains? I always knew that your frustrations with Bi-Han, Sub-Zero, and John Tobias ran deep, but I never imagined that it could inspire such overt and sustained character assassination. You would not be enjoying the fame and money Mortal Kombat brought you had it not been for John Tobias pitching the idea to you all those years ago. You may steer the helm of the Mortal Kombat franchise, but you have lost any trust that you will be a respectable creative writer or director ever again.
Listen here, Sub-Zero fanboy. Ed Boon, as the creator, is not obligated to make Bi-Han a good or anti-hero character. He has the freedom to do whatever he wants with his creations. He doesn't owe you anything, so there's no need to be upset.
@AmericaChavez710You ever seen Bi-Han in the OG timeline? He was definitely not this goofy ahhh exaggerated villain. He was done dirty here and you know it.
@AmericaChavez710 Bi-Han as Sub-Zero was never portrayed as anything less than an anti-hero at his worst in either Mythologies or the various comic adaptations that spanned John Tobias's tenure at Midway. He only became a straight-up villainous when he was revealed to have become the villainous Noob Saibot who was never confirmed to be Bi-Han until after John Tobias had left, and he had almost all of his redeeming qualities glossed over or removed entirely following Netherrealm Studios being founded whether it is him as the original Sub-Zero or as Noob Saibot.
Okay i wasn't aware of Boon and Tobias feud or Boon been this childish. 😅😅 he did Bi Han bad!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though Scorpio is my boy. It's funny how we all divided between Sub zero and Scorpio since day 1 even when they didn't had an background stories. 😅😅
Holy shit gargle Bi-Hans balls a bit louder will you. Jesus christ a video game character who shows up just to fucking die and become noob 9 times outta ten is not worth this much effort lmao
The Tengu? The small clan you come across with Taven before you actually confront the Lin Kuei? Completely forgot about them. Hopefully we can see relevant characters from them soon.
I find it hilarious Kenshi has Vergil's VA and Swordplay with the Doppelganger, while Bi-Han has the baggage with his brother and desire for power like Vergil
I love the foil between Sub Zero and Rain. Both are water themed ninjas but contrasting traits , Sub Zero wants power for himself and betrays his clan while Rain commits atrocities because he fought it would help Edenia and he learned the price of his ambition. Also he regretted his actions when flooding Seido in Havik's ending
The amount of times sub zero talks abouts going into the shadows or the shadows aiding him brings me to believe that he will eventually become noob saibot in either a future dlc or MK2.
I believe that he will end up getting betrayed in the future and finally learn some humility. Also, I believe that Kuai Liang will get turned into Noob Saibot instead of him, which will end up making Hanzo, who is a recruit in this timeline take the mantle of Scorpion
To learn from one's errors, one must first acknowledge them, like Rain did in his arcade ending. Bi-Han insists he did nothing wrong, so he learns nothing.
Crazy because Rain was always depicted as the irredeemable one with his actions, it’s cool to see a more empathetic Rain that isn’t stroking his ego and claiming his godhood every 5 minutes, meanwhile Bi Han seems to be going down that route
@@wholethedogsout880 Liu Kang gave everyone a chance in his new era. Some, like Mileena, Baraka, and Syzoth did better. Others, like Bi-Han, did worse. Some, like Rain, did a bit of both.
And my theory IS that the Darkness and evil from noob saibot carried over from the previous timeline to Bi-han since in the previous timeline, Bi-han was turned into noob saibot.
You know what's the sad part? I don't think he and Sareena will be a thing since they don't have the same plot and connections from the 2 previous timelines...
it would be nice to see positive influence from a new love interest for him in the next game -- I think Bi-han just needs a little bit of more empathy, understanding and redirection in his values, they really did him dirty in this game.
Its kinda ironic that Bi-Han want a pretentious and self servience Lin Kuei then getting Frost as initiate that probably as evil & cunning as ever. I guess this ambitious personality comes from his mother judging from 9:04 interaction and Noob's "mother would be proud" line in MK11
not impossible since Kuai Liang's intros talk that he might be too focused on revenge like the original Scorpion. So it might be possible that they somehow do reconcilate. Hell plenty of these intros show that he does miss Kuai Liang in a way
@firekitten6213 It has never been confirmed by NetherRealm Studios (NRS) that Sareena and Bi-Han were in a romantic relationship in Mythologies. The assumption that he was romantically involved with Sareena is made by some fans.
Of course he would if it's Bi-Han for kicking his baby's ass twice in Mythologies of which Bi-Han was the star back when John Tobias was still on the team. This is Boon's eternal vengeance against Bi-Han, truly embodying Scorpion.
They probably needed to defend it while Liu Kang and Other Fighters go to the other realm for Mortal Kombat, just in case for any surprise attack from other realms

This Bi Han is more villanous as he killed his Father and betrayed his brother, and its not because he was turned into a Corrupted version of his old self.
P.S MK1 Sub Zero has a lot more in common with Sektor than his OG Self as he was the one that started the Cyber Intiative this time and is currently hunting his Brother and Smoke, the same way Sektor hunted Sub Zero and Smoke in the OG timeline, Sektor also killed his own father to become Grandmaster similar to MK1 Sub Zero
Bi-Han’s first interaction with Shao talks about an “initiate” that Bi-Han is training… IS BI-HAN TRAINING FROST, NOW?!
Yeah cause Kaui Liang is scorpion in the new era
Seems that way. I hope she can make better choices than Bi-Han did.
@@AtrumSilvaI doubt it. She’s already thinking about ‘eclipsing’ him
@@Fldldk Given what Bi-Han's done in this timeline, that might not necessarily be a bad thing.
bi han isnt sexist and is training frost now 🤣 and shes alrdy thinking of taking over. lmao cant wait to see how this plays out with Bi Han.
I sincerely hoped that Bi-Han would change for the better but he’s honestly worse than ever
Ed Boon is still sore over his boyfriend Scorpion losing to him twice in MK Mythologies. So now he wants eternal revenge. This Bi-Han, yes, he is worse than ever - _-
Damn near everyone got a happy ending and won. Except him. This Bi-Han never went into the temple of the elements. Never met Sareena or fought Shinnok.
He's back after God knows how many years and Eddie couldn't pass up the opportunity to ruin it. Boon AND his writing team of leftist pricks who obviously never did research on the character. Or DID but deliberately gave us... THIS.
At least he didnt died
There is hope in a sequel. And i do like his design voice and just overall badassery
Also he sympathised with Kitana over sindels death. I think he have a stick up his ass becouse his mother died. Maybe he is like Vergil. A mommas boy who only wants power by any means becouse he feels like he failed.
Yeah I’m a little sad about that too. What I loved about the Bi-Han character was that while he was never a great guy ( ruthless killer was his job) it was shown he was capable of compassion in a couple scenes with Sareena and Kuai Liang ( well, he had to have been at least decent to Kuai to have been so beloved) showing there was some honor and goodness in him. It lead to some depth.
I suppose after the MK movie in 21 did so well with him as the villain it was kind of inevitable. I guess the silver lining is that he was on the hood guy side for about the first half of the game?
who cares?!
the real Sub-Zero was always Kuai Liang. and since this is a rebooted timeline, Hanzo Hasashi is the new Sub-Zero/Frost thaat joined Shira Rayiu. for watch the ending of Smoke.
Once a villain, always a villain. Am I right?
His new attitude / voice is top tier
Vegeta?? Is that u
@@jasonyang6150 fr tho Majin saga
Nah, he's written like he's trying to hard. I agree with one of the other comments, before he was cold and silent. He had nothing to prove, but this new one is literally just Sektor
@jairusjackson7799 nah you're wrong af
Smoke just wants love from his brother. Poor baby.
I feel like they're setting up Bi-Han's redemption arc with Sareena being the reason for him being redeemed, since she was saved by Ashra in her ending.
I really hope this is the case.
That would be awesome, gives the characters depth and humanity
That would be great since the last time Thanks to Bi Han Sareena could redeem herself back in MK Mythologies. Now it can be the other way around in the next game.
That would be a nice call back to Mythologies, and i think it is deserved if i remember correctly she wanted to free him from Quan Chi when he was Noob Saibot so maybe finally she has the chance.
It has never been confirmed by NetherRealm Studios (NRS) that Sareena and Bi-Han were in a romantic relationship in Mythologies. The assumption that he was romantically involved with Sareena is made by some fans.
I freaking love Bi-Han Sub-Zero because he reminds me so much of Vegeta. Plus I’ve always considered Bi-Han as an anti-hero or someone who takes no sides and wants to rule in his own way while defeating his enemies. Also, he reminds of MCU Loki before he turned into a good guy
Let's hope he finds redemption like Vegeta did.
It so good to see MK and DB fan here :D
this aint no anti-hero. this is sektor. an evil villain willing to k*ll his own family to get POWAHHHHH
I was literally thinking the same thing! He reminds me so much of Vegeta
Fun fact: The VA of Sub Zero, Kaiji Tang also voiced vegeta in the, bang zoom! Dub of dragon ball super. So you're actually not far off.
To be honest, I was expecting Bi-Han to get his redemption in this game (something that I really wanted since he needs one), but maybe the creators showing Bi-Han's flaws and cold side is a way to properly build up his redemption and flesh out his character more, showing us his original personality before doing his redemption. Maybe in the next game, we'll see Bi-Han get it.
This is the MK writers so they will do no such thing.
Tbh I do somewhat agree with Bi-Han’s point of view, if your entire clan is only dedicated to hiding in the shadows and coming out to defend against threats and then going back into the shadows for a long time, what’s the point of waiting? Why not instead of waiting for a threat, they could help lead the very nation they defend? Sure, the methods and what he did was very wrong, but Bi-Han, like Havik, genuinely thinks that changing is the only way the Lin Kuei can move forward, though it was how he did it was how he betrayed everyone’s trust.
If he didn't sell himself out like an idiot, if he didn't betray Earthrealm, people were gonna grow on him quick.
Wanting to be a public political figure kinda kills the purpose of being ninjas.
That and I think he has massive daddy issue.
He wasn't interested until Shang Tsung tempted him. Also, he had everything to lose and anything to gain after he was captured. Sure, he could have double-crossed Shang Tsung. shrugs*
@@Ascend777 I think it's possible Sub Zero would've crossed the deadly alliance but only because they pose a threat to the Lin Kuei
He’s mostly a stubborn prick, but he’s surprisingly consistent with his behavior despite everyone calling him a traitor.
5:35 Funny that they reference Frost when Bi Han's extremely blind ambition and need to overthrow people that he feels have power over him basically makes him identical to MK11 Frost. I wouldn't be surprised if instead of becoming Noob Saibot that he, Sektor and Cyrax instead augment themselves with cybernetic implants, becoming a Cyber Sub-Zero and turning the Lin Kuei into the Tekunin.
Bi-Han was not evil but he was callous and ruthless and dedicated to the Lin Kuei. In the original midway timeline, he had experienced the mythologies story line that's why if he had won the mk1 tournament he would have left the Lin Kuei if the ending was to be proved true. In the NetherRealm Studios timeline for some reason he was in the tournament just to assassinate the earthrealm fighters. He either lost to Sonya on purpose, or that was bad writing that he lost cause that Bi-Han also experienced mythologies. This Bi-Han is like the original Bi-Han callous and ruthless and this Bi-Han did not experience mythologies to have a change of heart, he is the cold hearted bastard that he was in the original timeline dedicated to the Lin Kuei before the mythologies storyline
If he starts the cyber initiative for real, he's done. Truly evil.

I love listening to Bi-Han's voice! 🥰😍😊
Bi-Han is such a fucking menace in every timeline I gotta respect it
What's most pathetic about Bi Han is that his goal is ultimately superficial. He wanted to give his clan independence from Lui Kang. Which is understandable, but he does so by working under Shang Tsung. This doesn't even have to do with the matters of good and evil. He was too much of a coward to just try and break free without having to be under someone. To solidify this is that even after Shang Tsung's defeat he goes running to work under Shao. And he even offers to work under Milleena. He clearly doesn't have enough faith in himself or his clan enough to just break free and fend for himself and lead his clan alone.
And considering Liu Kang isn't a tyrannical god who abuses his power, he may have simply let the Lin Kuei make their own decisions if Sub Zero demanded it. Liu Kang doesn't even want worship or anything like that, he just wanted fighters to protect the realm, so Bi-Han's obsession with breaking free from him make no sense.
Am alliance is not working for someone and he literally says he won’t serve Mileena’s empire are you fucking daft
Oddly I like how similar Rain and Bi-Han are in this game, the main difference being Rain is actually quite remorseful (see his ending). Bi-Han is just persistent and his drive for power paints him in the wrong. Honestly, I don't blame him for wanting more power, they've served Earthrealm but never got to relish in it as he wished.
Frost foreshadowing?
5:35
Without a doubt
hopefully he gets a redemption arc in the future but knowing nrs they'll surely make him a jobber
@AmericaChavez710But remember, in the original timeline, Bi-Han as Sub-Zero wasn’t really a bad person. I’d say he’s very much deserving of a chance considering how poorly written he is here.
@AmericaChavez710 In Mythologies he saved Earthrealm after being asked by Raiden and forgave the life of Sareena (a demon) also distrusted Quan Chi a lot and fought him and Shinnok. Was apprehensive to learn that he had Evil in his heart and that he was condemned to go to the NetherRealm when he died. Then he was framed for the Shiray Ryu massacre and was unjustly killed by Hanzo
How is he a villain?
Yes, he killed Hanzo but that hardly counts given the history of everyone else
@AmericaChavez710Why is it Hanzo can get redemption despite being a worse person than Bi-Han? Why is it everyone is adamant Bi-Han doesn’t deserve redemption when at the end of Mythologies he wanted to change?
@AmericaChavez710Yeah you just don’t know the lore & it shows.
@AmericaChavez710 Hanzo, the man who has helped Shinnok invade Earth 3 times in both timelines, is not worse than Bi-Han? Hanzo, the man who tortured Kuai Liang when Kuai didn’t want to fight. Hanzo, the man who doomed all the revenants & made the SF weaker whilst doing so. That Hanzo is not worse?
They assassinated Bi-Han’s character in this game & people like you who don’t know the lore just go along with it.
bro is literally sektor... this isnt bi-han. that man was never ambitious for power. he was a morally grey anti-hero who killed only when he was ordered to/when necessary. he never took pleasure in his life as a lin kuei. above all bi-han was loyal to his family, clan, and earthrealm. yes, he was an angry and impatient guy but he was much more nuanced than people gave him credit for.
I'm waiting for a bi han redemption arc
As a SZ fan it really hurts me to see him evil. I know it’s Bi Han but couldn’t NRS tell his story differently this time? Oh well
They made him a Sektor wannabe. Bi-Han was never like this.
Bi-Han’s always been a stubborn asshole. Being Noob Saibot just turned him evil faster.
Kuai Liang is a much better version for Sub-Zero.
@@tedioussugar384But as Scorpion? I don’t like the voice, but Kuai Liang isn’t a bad Scorpion. That said, who the hell is Hanzo going to be?

Bi-Han mentions a new initiate and general shao said she meaning frost is back and still evil
Interesting that in the previous game Noob Saibot claimed that he would not have allowed women into the Lin Kuei. Evidently that was due entirely to adherence to tradition rather than any kind of prejudice. Since that tradition does not exist in this timeline (Madame Bo is a retired Lin Kuei), Bi-Han has no problem with women being in their ranks.
Sub-Zero is a type of a guy that easily gets pissed when being corrected or giving good advises

@@majorfanboy2005 so? He’s literally just a cartoon villain in this. They did justice by Kuai liangs scorpion, but that’s not surprising since NRS favorites him over sub zero.
@@majorfanboy2005 The main issue is we aren't really given a good reason why Bi-Han is like this besides vague daddy issues and the desire for power born out of an unspecified reason.
Sure it is a different timeline but the other versions of Bi-Han should be respected and serve as a basis for the new one. He has some potential left and a hope of redemption, however small it may be.
Bi-han be having beef with everyone just for disagreeing with him
0:23 MK1 is so beautiful. Look at that real time ray tracing of Sub Zero's arm in Van Damme's glasses
I really hate his characterization here. He's already like Noob in this game when there is supposed to be a contrast between the two. If he's already evil than the Noob transformation means nothing.
I was hoping they would actually develop his brotherly relationship with Kuai Liang on screen for once.
Agreed! What a waste!
They straight up just turned him into Rain, and Rain’s already in the game.
honestly, its not that bad if u think about it, this has ALOT of potential, Bi-Han is a mirror to Scorpion here, full of rage but in different circumstances Bi-Han's is ambition while Hanzo's was revenge, id actually be a cool plot twist if Kuai Liang becomes Noob Saibot instead of Bi-Han, even better if he dies and turns into him because of his actions related to bi-han whether its saving him or being bestrayed ect. then Hanzo Hasashi will become the new Scorpion (just like how Bi-Han dies to become noob and Kuai Liang becomes the new Sub Zero)
I think ultimately Bi-Han does regret his betrayal and not just because it failed, he genuinely didnt know the depths of their depravity and was blinding by anger towards Liu Kang and Greed
Hopefully he gets some redemption
"What battle is won without losses?" Ouch. Right to the point.
The fact they had scorpion beat subzero and then just leave was so lame, it would of been more compelling if he lost, subzero couldnt bring himslef to kill him and then he escaped to form his new clan.
Shao not winning any fights was also lame.
NetherRealm really didnt learn the right lessons from aftermath, if they are going to stick with this chapter system the villians also need chapters and not just ones where they are temporarily teamed up with the heros. You cant take the villians seriously if they never manage to get any wins.
so glad bi-han has been turned into a low intelligence villain of the week (HEAVY SARCASM)
"In this war, Family isn't off limits."
Do not let Dom hear you say that, Bi Han. It won't go well for you.
I love how snarky he sounds when he says "mileena? shouldn't you call her empress?" line
So, they made Sub-Zero an a-hole again. Like, Bi Han was a-hole in previous two timelines and now he is an a-hole in square. And I hoped to see him as a good guy. Well, at least we have Baraka and Reptile as good guys. Especially Reptile, because he is amazing!
Well if you look at it from bi-hans perspective he did make the better choice for his clan. His encounter with ermac and the dragon army showed him that even if they somehow managed to win the Lin kuei would take heavy loss if they fought. If he didn’t fight and joined shao and Shang, he would gain more power, respect and freedom for the Lin kuei. Yes he made the wrong choice for the realms but had the best intentions for his clan.
The Lin Kuei are to serve Earthrealm from the beginning of this new timeline, now they are no better than mercenaries and assassins they were in the previous. Imagine if Sonya Blade or Jax decided that the special forces should be fit to govern instead of serving the greater good or the people.
@@vanndymaywho1910Serving is never the best option. He lost his mother because of that.
Thank you, Ed Boon, for handing us the single most nigh-irredeemable character in this game that almost no one wants to see redeemed in future titles-makes it perfectly justified to have him killed off in the next game, doesn't it? Such a perfect revenge against Bi-Han and the Sub-Zero mantle, to forever spit on the characterization he had in all forms of media which placed him a cut above your dearly beloved Scorpion and made him look weak before John Tobias left you, isn't it? How does it feel to have so thoroughly destroyed a character and have that character be such a nearly one-dimensional villain in a game full of characters taken in novel directions which includes formerly one-dimensional villains? I always knew that your frustrations with Bi-Han, Sub-Zero, and John Tobias ran deep, but I never imagined that it could inspire such overt and sustained character assassination. You would not be enjoying the fame and money Mortal Kombat brought you had it not been for John Tobias pitching the idea to you all those years ago. You may steer the helm of the Mortal Kombat franchise, but you have lost any trust that you will be a respectable creative writer or director ever again.
Listen here, Sub-Zero fanboy. Ed Boon, as the creator, is not obligated to make Bi-Han a good or anti-hero character. He has the freedom to do whatever he wants with his creations. He doesn't owe you anything, so there's no need to be upset.
@AmericaChavez710You ever seen Bi-Han in the OG timeline? He was definitely not this goofy ahhh exaggerated villain. He was done dirty here and you know it.
@AmericaChavez710 Bi-Han as Sub-Zero was never portrayed as anything less than an anti-hero at his worst in either Mythologies or the various comic adaptations that spanned John Tobias's tenure at Midway. He only became a straight-up villainous when he was revealed to have become the villainous Noob Saibot who was never confirmed to be Bi-Han until after John Tobias had left, and he had almost all of his redeeming qualities glossed over or removed entirely following Netherrealm Studios being founded whether it is him as the original Sub-Zero or as Noob Saibot.

I don't think so. He is the only subzero from now on. They are just making references to his previous role and his clan motto.
I believe that he will end up getting betrayed in the future and finally learn some humility. Also, I believe that Kuai Liang will get turned into Noob Saibot instead of him, which will end up making Hanzo, who is a recruit in this timeline take the mantle of Scorpion
Nailed it
Funny that rain learned his errors better than bihan
To learn from one's errors, one must first acknowledge them, like Rain did in his arcade ending. Bi-Han insists he did nothing wrong, so he learns nothing.
