Raiden: Liu Kang, do not interfere!
Liu Kang: WOOOOOOOO
Prepares to fight and then he's on the floor
Do not force my hand, Liu Kang.
Lmao
Aint dat sum shit 🤣
I love that part lmao
I love how Raiden had the same voice actor for so many years
Really wish they did the same for the others. Sonya's voice got worse and Scorpion's MK11 voice is nowhere near as good as MK9 or MKX
Christian Manuel imo Sonyas voice was only good in Mkx and I like how Hanzo actually sounds like an Asian man in Mk11 .
@@christiananddanyell At least Scorpian actually sounds Japanese lol he sounded American in MK9
@@SonGokuuuuuuu Im not saying the VA for MK11 Scorpion was bad, it's just that the voice and delivery for MK9 and MKX is just so iconic and memorable. "NO TO HELL WITH YOU" and Scorpion's line to Quan Chi in MKX are absolute peak voice acting
@@SonGokuuuuuuu Yeah, but Patrick Seitz is better as Scorpion because he just clicks with the character. Does Sub-Zero sound Chinese? Does Shang Tsung? Does Raiden sound Japanese, or even look it? Being as he is the Japanese god of thunder and lightning? That argument doesn't hold water. The characters that were switched were better voice acted in the two previous installments. Except for Shang Tsung and Fujin. They're the shining beacons of MK11.
That fight where everything kept switching was a masterpiece.
Agreed
No Zombie Liu Kang, though :/
@@turbotrup96there was a revanant Liu Kang in place of the zombie version.
@@redreaper3065 I know, and that was rather offensive
@@turbotrup96 valid I suppose. Zombie Liu Kang was awesome
"I do not need Trust, I demand obedience."
This line is a vital point for Raiden, we see both his attitude towards Liu Kang:
1.The inability to make a fair judgement towards him due to his Anger fueled by Shinnok's Amulet.
2. His desire to defend earthrealm and humanity.
Some MK fans thought Raiden is a villain in this game, but for me, though he's angry because of the circumstances, he's still the Raiden we know. The only negative thing about him is the lack of right judgement. But thanks to his memories, it really saved him from becoming much more insane.
Yeah he was so much more psychotic in Deception and Armageddon, Dark Raiden in MKX and 11 was more so not taking anyone’s shit.
MK 11 still confuses me, the Raiden we see is the one that came through the portal which would indicate that he is the same Raiden from MK 9 however he has Shinnok's amulet and his dark side is very prominent, before this Raiden showed up MK 11 only had Dark Raiden who disappeared inexplicably fairly early on in the story and is never seen again.
It's not necessarily a plot hole but it's just very odd to me that Dark Raiden just vanished like that.
@@OneBoredCatbugNRS LOVES setting Dark Raiden for a sequel but they just can't utilize him for more than 5 minutes before giving up.
It's just shitty NRS writing, really.
One detail that I love is that in MK9, Liu Kang died from Raiden’s lightning and his own fire. In MK11, he now COMMANDS lightning and fire.
its not really that complicated... raiden just gave him lightning
@@copopopocoporododoro yeah aint that deep
I don’t think that’s a detail
Even though some say it's not a detail,I think headcannons are great,and I also like this idea
Because Raiden fused with him?
I loved the fact that MK11 is tight connected to MK9 just like in this scene.
Ikr!
Its really not. Most of what made mk9-mkx writing good, got dumped and retconned, plotholed and loopholed in a matter of 5 scenes just so they could end the timeline and be able to rewrite it again for the next game in such a disrespectful push against the diehard fans. On the surface its a continuity but in reality its quite depressing and disappointing
@@omni6982 wdym?? The whole story of 11 depends on the revenants created in 9 and X. And 9 is just the first three games in a “what if” scenario. What happened to the lore of everything up to Armageddon? You’re gripe with 11’s story is literally what makes mortal kombat “mortal kombat.”
Yesss
@@omni6982 yeah having Johnny Cage and his daughter beat Shinnok cause of green energy is good writing. Kung Jin beating Kotal Kahn is good writing. You're a joke
1:31 Only time I heard Raiden being so emotional "By the gods NoOoOo"
By the 9 divines! ASSAULT!
Old Joseph: OH, NO!!
Me: bye bye Liu kang
I was like 11 back when I first played MK9 story mode, seeing my favorite character die like this made me sad af
First time meme
Sounds like me but when they killed him off in deadly alliance 😂
Ong
Dude I was about 11 too back when I played this. It was in 2015. I'm 17 now
Same
I was 10 when MK9 released haha
Raiden's like that guy who constantly rages when you beat him at a video game and later apologizes. But never changes the next time he's invited over.
A god that doesn't learn from mistakes. In short
God do not learned. God do what they want.
Reminds me of the AI intros where Raiden challenges Liu Kang to Smash Bros
He's also the guy who's always on the phone talking or always running off to somewhere, every match and every round he does this, you wonder if he's cheating and getting advice from someone else, yet somehow his new moves and combos always fails spectacularly. You also wonder if he's just delusional or autistic and his making up these "friends" of his, prob an imaginary friend or something.
that's actually me
I like how Shang Tsung says "Be rational, Raiden". Quiet rare and cool interaction between these enemies
Yeah, it’s weird to see Shang Tsung actually trying to help Raiden
@AFuckingBird strangely they were correct about Liu Kang winning the fight against Kronica
@@rafikicasanueva6he wasnt tho he was plottin 😂
wdym strangely?
U know chaos is about to happen when u hear that "Liu Kang.. Do not interfere"
The Mortal Kombat 11 is the best one Liu Kang and Raiden fighting explains everything
Actually mkx is mk11 is ass
@@pxtrwtf5118 no
@@basharmusa2098 yes it’s horrible they made it look like mortal kombat
@@pxtrwtf5118 stfu
@@pxtrwtf5118 stfu
“Be rational Raiden” means Shang Tsung was literally pissing his pants when he saw the amulet
7:49 Beta Fire God Liu Kang
Fujin and Lui Kang are voiced by the same voice actor. he does an awesome job as both. I really love his Fujin dialogue. hope to see more of his work
The way Liu kang says it in MK9 sounds better than in MK11 imo. Probably cos he sounds more serious
I think it had more to do with the situation. In 9, Liu is pretty much at his breaking point, whereas 11 sounds more melancholy since he only now realized that Raiden's lost it.
@@jarekgunther Either that or he meant the MK11 rendition of the MK9 cutscene. Liu Kang in MK9 sounded a lot more angrier and cynical, while Liu Kang in the MK11 remade version sounded mildly angered.
Yeah, but I prefer MK11’s Liu Kang voice.
Liu Kang mk9 is already done with raiden's shit while mk11 Liu Kang just try to calm him down and imo Liu Kang seem more arrogance in mk9 compare to mk11
As others said. In 9 he was fed up with Raiden and lost all faith in him. In 11 it’s honestly more sorrowed if anything because in this one he really did want to put his trust into Raiden.
*1:26* Mortal Kombat 9 *Liu* *Kang*
*4:10* Mortal Kombat 11 *Liu* *Kang*
*4:48* Mortal Kombat 11 *Liu* *Kang*
*8:15* Mortal Kombat 11 *Raiden*
I felt so bad for Raiden during all of this. He did his best 90% of the times and it still wasn't enough.
The mixing of the different timelines is an impeccable piece storytelling
Yeah, that scene made me question Kronika's involvement in the DC Universe. All I wanted to know is if Kronika created the Injustice universe.
I honestly wish I can agree, but for me it just raises more questions than answers. Supposedly Kronika was upset at what the present dark Raiden has done to the timeline, but…the whole multi timeline plot suggests that this is not the first timeline. Why would Kronika change the timeline multiple times only for the current most one she created be the one in which Raiden resets everything and causes Shinnok’s downfall? Plus if Kronika has the power already to change the timeline into different varieties, wbu does it take more power to make the new era? Loved execution of the reveal, but honestly I wish they left it at the two timelines and Raiden realizing he messed up with his dark future version alone.
Honestly, the story was all over the damn place. On one hand there’s amazing moments like this and Sub Zero’s chapter, but on the other hand they completely bungled Sindel
@@K-11609
As SonicHAXD put it, NRS cannot comprehend/come up with something as convoluted or explain their plot holes.
OG era was the best this timeline bullshit ruined mortal kombat
6:20 Scorpion just looks so cute like a baby on the ground
Just noticed he really looks cute .lol
He’s cutie
Poor Liu Kang… He didn't deserve this…
Same
He started it
@@toynetheath9561 he has all the reasons to not trust Raiden's judgement. Kung Lao died because Raiden didn't do shit, his GF died because he was with Raiden talking with elder gods etc. I was Liu Kang I would say: f*ck you Raiden, you're the reason why many of my friends died because of your stupid visions of future.
@@KEK714 and rather than let liu kang fight with shao khan and die by his own will. Raiden kill him with his own hand instead. Such an asshole god.
@@juanpark7366 Raiden really screwed things up... 🤦♂️
I mean if the protector of earth says don’t interfere, don’t interfere
I feel so bad for Scorpion omg 😭 he just laying there all confused lmao
Trying to be a good guy but then gets beaten up by the others
Lui kang: enough of your madness if you must die so be it
Raiden: DEJA VU
The mk11 scene was my favorite in the whole story. It was so intense and even the background music was increasing the action.
And those mk9 and Armageddon references, PURE GOLD
@@darthvader7886 yup ed boon knew what we wanted.
You got cringe
5:03 WOYAAAHHHH!!!!
Liu Kang always told Raiden that if he must die so be it in every timeline before the two of them fought to the death, the fight ending in Liu Kang's death then him returning as a revenant and hating Raiden before Kronika resetted the timeline but this time Raiden realized what he was doing and fought Liu Kang to a stand still without killing him.
MK 11 Aftermath is the only time you get to fight Raiden with a light outfit, but red lightning, you can't make that in the game
What the fans want is sometimes what they can't have
@@eclipsethefox4397 I feel like the developers always do it in purpose, specially in the last 3 games.
Like, having Sektor in the story mode but making him unplayable, when he's a fan favorite character?
@@LucasTheUltimate *coughs in rain and baraka in mkx*
This was why this fight is my favorite in the aftermath expansion.
@@LucasTheUltimate they should make Triborg Canon or at least a playable character in the future so we can have all the cyber lin kuei
In MK9, Raiden wants Liu Kang to stop his anger. However the roles are kinda reversed in MK11 when Liu Kang wants Raiden to stop his anger.
5:06 for some reason I just love the way he runs
Btw is that MK1 refference?
Liu Kang is wearing a grey belt and is barefoot resembling mk1 liu kanh
Didn't like how MK11 retconned most of the lore to basically say duh duh duuuuuuhhh....kronika is the reason all of this happened..but I do appreciate how well written Liu kang and raiden's storyline is..,and it's refreshing to see liu kang finally get back in the spotlight after so many years.
It didn't retcon much besides Sindel
I think in the case of mk9, it was a lame reason but the idea behind was okay.
@@ccelite3782 and everyone blamed Raiden about it.
Kronika being the reason of Liu Kang's and Raiden's conflict constantly happening in each timeline wasn't a retcon though.
It wasn’t a retcon
Dark Raiden VS Zombie Liu Kang, is a masterpiece...
Aren't revenants and zombies different?
@@wahyucalvinaditya6291 yeah
Mr. Get over here yes but that fight happens during Armageddon in which Liu was an actual zombie.
Guys it's just a recicled model XD
I like how Liu Kang's "Scorpion/Shang Tsung is not the enemy this time" line is a reference to what he said to Raiden back in MK vs DC.
1:00 Liu Kang become Anakin? :D
Good one😉
If you're not with me then you're my enemy
Glad Liu Kang replaced Raiden as Earthrealm's protector..
Because Raiden was always like, "I must consult with Elder Gods"
And Liu Kang is like, "Fuck it, I'll do it myself"
With all due respect but Raiden saved Liu kang if you payed attention to the cutscenes. Kitana helped future Liu kang get his past so she could steal his own soul to make his future dead self stronger and later on, Raiden helped him by merging with him and past Liu Kang to become Fire God Liu Kang
Dude, MK has gone to a whole other level with their story quality and cinematography. I’d watch this as a movie, straight up.
5:26
Just to be clear, that is Shang Tsung’s Palace.
Not the Soul Chamber.
8:46. Well at least he admits it.
Raiden is legit my favorite character in this series, he genuinely cares about Liu Kang so much and wants the best for everyone
When you’re trying to zap him a little but gave him ten thousand volts 😂
It seems more like 100 thousand
1:32 ohh fire god Liu kang first look? 1:52 nvm
I like that in MK11 they made Scorpion as a free avenging spirit that is open to redemption instead of being Quan- Chi's minion
Can’t Raiden heal Liu Kang? He healed Jax when he was beaten to a pulp, Johnny with a open wound, and Scorpion with a burn wound
I think it was because liu kang was too harmed
@@goodman299 well so was Johnny, he was bleeding out, nearly about to succumb to his wounds, Liu Kang was like that too
Uh oh he must consult with the elder gods
Kirito (idk why you deleted your message) Scorpion also had burns, not severe but still a burn wound so if scorpion can be healed by his burn wound, why can’t Liu Kang? I get he was severely burned but again he healed Jax when he was severely injured
My guess is that Raiden can’t heal wounds he created.
At 2:50, it sounds to me like Raiden was supposed to say something else and the line was cut.
“Kronika will not entrap us with her surprisingly shiny forehead”
True
5:48 it must have been so odd for them to just stand there and watch Raiden suddenly have some weird vision and fall down as if he had hit something lmao
None of this would've happened if Raiden just paid attention in science class
Didn't they have a similar moment in MK vs DC? Liu Kang defending Shang Tsung from Raiden, I mean.
Ya, but Liu Kang didn’t die tho, he just passed out. I think. God now u got me needing to rewatch the ending after Dark Kahn is defeated. Everyone lives tho I’m pretty sure
Remember when Sindel bodied all of Earthrealms champions? Good times
I love how Fuijin steps up to Raiden 1 v 1.
And doesnt let anyone fight his brother.
Respect.
I bet Khan is just watching them fight and is like dang this is easier than I thought.
I don’t get why everyone hates Raiden because of this
He was right in letting him win
I love raiden he's my favourite character
The reason people don't like Raiden (at least nowadays) is because he's portrayed as an idiot.
I have a lot of stuff I could go through to show it if someone asks.
@@night-seeker666 I'll ask. What do you have?
@@princejax2748 He zones out in the middle of conversing.
He tries to use Shinnok’s amulet in MK11, even knowing how his future self turned out.
He doesn’t leave Shang behind in Aftermath or snatch the crown out of his paws.
Most of what he does in MK9.
I may have forgot the rest, sorry.
@@night-seeker666
i agree with the zoning out and shinnok’s amulet but in mk9, raiden only said “he must win” which was super vague which essentially made the question of who must win? shao kahn, lui kang or somebody else? without a clear answer they were basically in the dark. as for mk11, fujin basically was manipulating everyone so it goes according to lui kang’s plan to get the crown and reset the timeline. fujin knowing gave the crown to shang tsung and told raiden they needed him to
Liu Kang: He may be telling the truth.
Raiden: I must consult with the Elder Gods.
This scene is never forgotten in the mk universe
raiden’s voice actor is the voice actor of Joseph joestar
7:25 Oh, NOW Shang Tsung don't want the smoke.
MK11: 3:14 "Now Scorpion. The truth!
MK111: Aftermath: 7:44 "Now, Shang Tsung. The truth!"
lol
8:45 I am a fool…
From 4:40-5:47 it was incredible to see the timelines from all the other games!!
Dont know those time lines are from, because the only one good its armageddon, but in the other one's liu kang it's normal
Looking back at this, how nice of Shao Kahn to take his sweet time merging Outworld and Earthrealm while Raiden and Liu fight
5:44
I don't know why but I always lose it during the fighting montage where it's just Liu kang alone doing a pose/stance. LOL
I like how in the Aftermath version Liu Kang says the same lines from MK vs DC. Cause Raiden was about to kill Shang Tsung in that moment too
In all honesty, Raiden was right about Shang Tsung haha
Yeah, It was clear he's going to betray everyone the moment he absorbed Nightwolf's revenant.
both yes and no he was right about shang tsun betraying them but the crown was indeed the only way to rebuild the timeline
Liu Kang: This is not the way
Mandalorian: Yes
1:24
The one moment Johnny Cage got serious
:(
He get serious too When shinnok is trying to kill sonya
@@cristiana.jaramillof.1598 And when she passed
Daaaaamn can you imagine being told you fight a dude a million times and you didn't win a SINGLE BATTLE?
Kronika is just replaying the Time again and Again
Yes she is because she's trying to find the best plan to make her own universe that's why the MK games keep having the same thing same happen again and again.
@@prettymomma04 Yeah MK11 just replays what happened on previous MK games (MK9 and MKX)
MK9 Remaster would be so great
Now i wanted so bad to see Zombie Liu Kang vs Dark Raiden.
Fantastic video once again dude :)
Raijin:Bruce Lee do Not interfere
Raijin:Bruce Lee Stop!
Bruce Lee:enough of your madness If you must Die so be it!
before MK9: I must consult the elder gods
MK9 and beyond: I must throw these hands!!!!
I don't even remember this scene
Which scene you're talking about?
I like how Liu Kang gets Lichtenberg's figures when he gets electrocuted.. nice touch
Anyone noticed how in mk9 when raiden acidentally hit lui kang with his lighting he didin't rush to save him right away he just had to say "By the gods no"
are you blind? he literally does
Liu Kang in MK9 looks just like the actor who plays Kung Lao in the new MK movie lol
Technically raiden could of healed Liu kang before he died
No Liu Lang was to hurt to heal them
Liu Kang was burnt to a Crisp compared to everyone else he healed.
Jax was awfully bruised, Liu Kang on the other hand was burnt to a crisp and basically dead
First love the mortal kombat videos ❤️
There is a Hsu Hao sign in the flashback. Easter egg?
When you purposefully attack and kill someone: BY THE GODS, NOO!!!
I never noticed it until now but in the scene showing all of the different Raiden vs Liu Kang fights, the animation of their fight actually loops
Maybe it’s laziness but it actually goes to solidify how every universe ended in the same exact fight
I do hope that was their intention
Yes
Mk9 makes it sound like he wants to do it in mk11 he sounds like he will regret it
Lmao if raiden had just heard the "I" in his visions, none of these would've happened 😂
3:46 woo
Imagine if dark raiden also had kronikas crown, he would be an unstoppable force
was that Shang Tsung's place from Deadly alliance how did i miss that
don’t forget that raiden says the same line at the end with the big battle in the DC vs MK game
I just saw it they also fought on the pyramid of Armageddon when liu kang was the zombie zombie
1:26 - Liu Kang, Shao Kahn's invasion, MK9
4:10 - Liu Kang, Fire Gardens, MK11
4:48 - Liu Kang, Flashback to MK9, MK11
8:15 - Raiden, Fire Gardens, MK11 Aftermath
And MK Armageddon and Deception and Deadly Alliance
@spirious 'do'?
Oof invasion
@spirious i was asking the same
enough..OF YOUR MADDNESS
liu kang -"enough of your maddness"
liu kang -"ENOUGH OF YOUR MADDNESS!!"

4:22. so what timelines were those?
obviously mk9
???
MK3
Injustice?
Deadly alliance
Armageddon

Subway is MK3, space one looks like an injustice one and the others I am not too sure of.
@@BCSTAR954 Ah ok, fair enough.
@@moralesharold87 the space one is from mk vs dc and dead pool stage from mk 4
@@Thomas-bi2ve MK VS DC isn't canon bruh,there's no scene of that in mk11,that doesn't even look like the same scene
@@SupportGamin2024 its in the timeline
I notice that later on in each timeline raiden is the one doing wrong up until aftermath then he is doing right
Edit: and i like how NRS is keeping up the ties to previous games and not just starting over because MK9 was just raiden going back in time while the beginning of MK9 is also the ending to armageddon
They should have had Shao wear the battle harness skin with either the MK9 or MK3 helmets in this scene
As far as I understand it, MK9 was Raiden realizing that everything attempted from MK 1 to Armageddon was a severe worst case scenario. He sent a message to his past self before Shao Kahn killed him. Could he have been a bit more descriptive or sent the message a little earlier? Perhaps. And he could've prevented everything that occurred from MK9 to MK11.
Downside, that scenario could have possibly been played out from all of Kronika's different outcomes, with Kronika still winning.
Pretty much. Liu beat Shao Khan, he returned. Shinnok got beat, returned anyway in Armageddon. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi created the Deadly Alliance and merked the heroes, paving the way for the rise of Onaga. Which set the stage for Armageddon where literally all the bad guys teamed up against all the good guys, Legion of Doom-style and in the end, Shao fucking Khan won. I mean, Liu Kang was a friggin' zombie in Armageddon.
Even before this, things were already going out of control in 9 - like Scorpion NOT sparing Bi-Han and handling Quan Chi a free minion, Kung Lao getting killed in the second tournament (his own fault but DAMN, massive L) or their treatment of poor Mileena who didn't deserve to be shunned like a freak for existing, creating yet another enemy. Also anything Sindel.
But yah, the Game Was Rigged From the Start because Kronika.
IF YOU MUST DIE SO HE IT! Actually don't kill each other
So be it
@@kingblader1840 edit the comment lmao
I like how Liu Kang died by the combination of fire and lightning and later became the God of them both.
I remeber playing mk9 story mode when I was 10 I was mad when raiden killed lui kang but now I see that it was in self-defence. I can't be the only one who notice's that Raiden kinda treated lui kang like a son.
I'm always coming back to this video thinking how genius this convept is and all the different timelines of Raiden and Liu Kang fighting
I love how we see them fight in the Armageddon as well it was a very cool reference
It’s sad that in every timeline except this one raiden kills his best friend Liu Kang
Not best friend more like "son"
those massive organ chords in the flashback music in X and 11, probably the best part of both games
I always loved the part where Lui Kang and Raiden fight and Armageddon is in the background just pure chills
