- Hey guys!
Welcome to another Mortal Kombat 11 video!
Into todays 'History of' video I wanted to celebrate the DLC release of Shang Tsung! And what a better way of doing then remastering an old video of mine to get you all up to date with what exactl has been going on with the soccerer within Mortal Kombat 11!
Now this idea/rule will also be applied to each of the upcoming DLC characters within the Kombat Pack so definitely expect a 'History Of Nightwolf' and 'History Of Sindel' In the future!
With guest characters on the horizon I wont be giving them full blown background breakdown but I will be doing something special for each of them!
Hopefully you enjoy this video and come away learning more! Its been a long while since Ive put one of these together but I wanted to take my time and make sure that when I put It out that It'd be how I imagined it!
Anyway what are your thoughts on the villianous Shang Tsung? Hes always been an iconic bad guy within the series and In MK11 they really solidify this by having a nice call to the original MK movie by including Cary Tagawa!
Now how are you enjoy Shang Tsung In Mortal Kombat 11?

Shang tsung's design in mk11 is amazing
Eddie Becerra indeed he is my main in mk11 he sure do have great combos
Agree! That design is just perfect!
He looks exactly as in the movie.
If you press "start" on the second given variation of his, he has the exact same outfit and colours of his movie attire
He's so sassy
Its so Rad that they modeled him after Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who played him in the movie
Henry Walker I was about to comment on that
@Ty Ty bro that character model in mk11 Hiroyuki go look at the side by side. That looks nothing like Kim
@@Alloyd876 he was joking lol
@@thomashylemon9975 lol
Well ya they got the same actor to voice him damn straight there gonna make him look like him to XD
Shao Kahn: “NOW I NEED TO WIN ANOTHER 10 MORTAL KOMBATS AND ITS YOUR FAULT!! EXECUTE HIM!”
Shang Tsung: “what if... we did a mortal kombat... here?”
Shao Kahn: “I’m listening”
Did you miswrite their name on purpose?
Hugo Prince no, thanks for pointing it out, even if it was sarcastic.
Well technically, it was held in Outworld so Kahn could have the advantage, as going into another Realm that he hadn't merged with Outworld weakens him just like Raiden leaving Earthrealm also weakens him. Plus, the real idea was an all-or-nothing rematch.
Winged BluJ the idea that raiden leaving earth realm affecting his powers was only for nether realm and if he stayed there too long he would lose them. This was retconed anyway and the reason they held the next tournament in outworld (in both timelines) was to make the custom rule that if outworld wins, they would merge earthrealm immediately, but if they lost they could never try take earthrealm again. Obviously the answer was no, but changed it to a yes because the tarkatans had attacked the Shaolin monastery kidnapping Sonya blade and Kano to bait them into going.
Shao Kahn: *how bout i take the credit for that plan and kill you still?*
Shang Tsung: *wait, NO-*
Anybody else Love the fact they Kept the Movie Shang Tsung and made him the Default Shank tsung
Shank?
plus the "your soul is mine" is a movie invention they decided to add to the game afterwards
Shank Tsung the Imposter Master
He stole the show for sure. Big fan
Shank Sug
Not exactly "decades" as you mentioned after the Great Kung Lao's defeat, but centuries. Shang Tsung and Goro held Outworld's winning streak for over 500 years until Liu Kang won.
If you want to get technical centuries can still be described by decades, though thats being picky.
Wrong it went on for 9 tournaments till lui kang beat them and theres a tournament every 50 years so 50X9 is 450 years
And then Cassandra cage beats super sayain shinnok.
Actually guys each mk tournament is held very 50 years
@@justindeliwe8065 That's what we all said
Shang Tsung was underrated for so long.
He is one of the top 3 MK characters.
HE IS A COOL CHARACTER
He’s the most evil villain in Mortal Kombat
You went through great detail about the entire history of MK, awesome analysis.
@Max Agnew literally
Everywhere I go
I see his face
Wait if I see him everywhere that means im everywhere
He gives the best history of all the characters but the only thing I didn’t like is the fact how he showed Armageddon during Deception but everything else I liked about the video but my favorite Shang Tsung will always be the original timeline especially in the 3D games he looks like the first Shrek villain and he isn’t more villainous than the MK9 version in complete motives
Dude why are everywhere… I see you so much
Still the best OG Villain ever since MK1
@doctor wewe nah his dad is
@doctor wewe your mom told me
TY WOLF Do you think it's Possible that only Rason Goro defeated the Great Kung Lao because Shang Tsung once again Cheated
With out arousing to much Suspicion
*sho khan would like to know your location*
@@jayku1624 who's that?
I took from mk11 that his spirit retreated to haunt his island in the Krypt and it’s my personal headcanon that he’s only being so helpful to the delver of the krypt because he intends to possess him and revive himself once he has collected all the powers and items strewn around the island.
My theory is 5.99 unlocked his soul 2 years ago
Fact!! This Shang Tsung is a tribute from the real life original movie, its amazing
Fact: The face mocap was done by Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa, the original Shang Tsung actor in MK movie.
As slimy of a character as he is, Shang Tsung’s voice and mocap actor just brings this charisma to the role that I can’t help but appreciate. Even when he says something dark or twisted, I’m just here like *the delivery though*
I think he's hands down the best villain of the series. Cunning, manipulative and often completely unapologetic about himself.
Shangs a classic, glad he's back.
That snake is back in MK11: Aftermath
Great video, but this makes me want to consult with the elder gods.
Even though he is a villain, he is one of my favourite MK characters with such a long and interesting history.
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was awesome once again just as he was in the movie as Shang Tsung.
The most iconics of Shang Tsung are "Your soul is mine" & "Finish him!"
Dont forget "it has begun"
And now he also says the newly made famous line ”hashiway” lol.
Finish him is Shao Kahn...not Shang Tsung
Sees new shang tsung vid done by hbtw.... *YOUR SOUL IS MINE*
It's actually, "Your soul is myi-".
Attack Titan no it isn’t dimwit
Was this supposed to be funny?
Okay but its not funny
Silence weeb. (I'm Japanese so no, I'm not a weeb. Because I'm ACTUALLY Japanese)
Wait i thought shang was back because he abosrbed ermac because in his intro he says "i killed jarek and i killed ermac"
In ermacs mkx ending ermac goes to a temple that calls his name over and over
A ghostly figure appears and absorbs ermac COMPLETLY and shang comes back from the dead
Gaming Cause why not true
Well in the kombat kast of Shang Tsung they stated that he absorbed Ermac's souls during the Timequake
You're not wrong there.
Ermac is pathetic
If you play a Shang Tsung vs Shang Tsung mirror match, you learn that he has a twin brother named Shang Lao.
Fun Fact: Shang Lao was what Ed and John were originally going to name the villain of the first MK game
There's also the black sheep of the family: Shang T Sung
In MK11, it is illustrated that in the MK universe, time is linear, binding everyone from mortals all the way up to the Elder Gods, with only Kronika being outside of it. This would mean that when we speak of different timelines, it should not be understood that those timelines actually exist as alternate realities as they do in, say, the Terminator series. Only the current timeline, with all of its changes and alterations, exists. What Raiden sees in MK9 and MK11 are not glimpses into alternate realities, but shadows of things that would have been.
Thus, it falls to reasons that where the timelines share a common past--everything up until the moment Raiden received the message from himself in MK9--there can be no differences up to that point. Therefore, the original timeline has received retcons. It is no longer canon that Kitana and Mileena grew up together, but the only possibility is that Mileena was created at the time she was in MK9 in all timelines. The only differences, perhaps, may be that in the original timeline, Kitana is introduced to Mileena at a different time during the Outworld tournament, not having discovered the latter during her initial awakening in the flesh pits. Shao Kahn probably introduced Mileena as Kitana's long-lost sister in the original timeline (since, as I said, their mutual childhoods can no longer be canon), whereas in MK9 she discovers her at a time when she was not supposed to.
"not glimpses into alternate realities, but shadows of things that would have been"
That's literally what it means
If I remember correctly, Shujinko didn't decline his invitation to the tournament. He had every intention to, but Damashi (Onaga) forced him to complete his quest for the Kamidogu.
I just want to say how awesome it is they used Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa’s(the original Shang Tsing from the ‘95 Mortal Kombat movie) face. He’ll always be Shang Tsung to me when I imagine the character. #MortalKombatMovie(05-05-21)
6:54 I still remember how to do that combo on snes lol
Shang Tsung is really the main bad guy in the whole Mortal Kombat series if you think about it
Shang Tsung is still at the bottom. He cannot win his own fights & normally needs help from someone else to suceed. Whenever he does go 1 on 1 he gets demolished as evidenced by the fact hes been defeated and/or outsmarted by Lui Kang, Quan Chi, Shao Kahn, Raiden, Kitana, Kenshi, Bo Rai Cho, and The elder Kung Lao, but is too spiteful and prideful to see his own shortcomings and actually train.
Shut up bitch!
@@Malaki727 calling someone a bitch on CZcams.. ohhhhhhh I'm very impressed
@@jahaininagaki385like you do better
@@malcolmlloydandrileyproduc6451 bruh I am not gonna be lectured by someone with a default pic like that..
I’ve literally been waiting for the new History of episode, I’ve been rewatching the others over and over again to prepare :)
Prepare for what? There is literally nothing to prepare for.
Lol
I really enjoyed this retelling of the MK story through Shang Tsung. Very well done!
1:20 "God-like deities." That is like saying floor-like floor.
Well many deities are "lesser gods"
@@Makkaru112 So whats your point?
Liu Kang gave Shang Tsung the ultimate Fatality in MK11 Aftermath by wiping him from every timeline
I swear, Shang Tsung is the Mortal Kombat version of Loki!
Forgot about ermacs ending! Where shang tsung took all of his souls and lives
HBTW: These new dlc characters will be breathtaking.
Subscriber: Your breathtaking
HBTW: Your Breathtaking. You're all breathtaking.
Shang Tsung: And since your breaths are being taken, I suppose I invite myself to your souls.
HBTW and Subscriber: wait, wha..
Shang Tsung: *IT HAS BEGUN!*
I wish The Matrix will be the next DLC.
@@utku_bambu I'd imagine Johnny would have some pretty cool dialogue with him.
@@utku_bambu Neo from the Matrix would be better in Injustice.
Am I the only one who would love a "classic" mk prequel game with Shang tsung, o.g. Kung lao, and goro??
Let's make Siro Great again.
@@GreenPhoenix91 I know Siro and don't forget Taja.
I think that might be MK 12
@@mrowley7300 I hope so, it can even be like a $40 game that's more classically based
Adventure
I'm glad NRS didn't really fuck up Shang Tsung's bio and gave a good reason why he wasn't in the story. Now they fucked up with Sindel and Nightwolf
It's interesting how the most dangerous people from MK Lore actually came from Earthrealm
"he takes more of an active rol" *shang tsung grabing a rpg*
I find it funny that Shujinko is the character's name, and that name is usually used in Japanese to refer to the main protagonist of a game or story. It's not really meant to be a name on and off itself. It's like if his name was 'Hero'.
Am I the only one who likes the original timeline more? Mostly because mileena was raised with kitana it didn’t make sense to me that shoa Kahn would wait that long to make her
No, you are not alone. There's at least two of us. The original timeline, while not done well in its original execution (Compared to what it could have been, in my opinion), is still vastly better than the current timeline. What we need is the execution of the new timeline, and the story of the old one. The new timeline comes off as another studio hating the PS2 era of MK (Most like for its gameplay and then just hating everything else), thinking they can do better, and then realizing after the fact that it's not easy and they suck at it. For starters, they just completely disregarded Onaga carrying Shao Kahn off the pyramid, as if Shao Kahn could ever take Onaga head on, which he can't. Which is why he had to poison Onaga. Then, they look for shock value in killing Liu Kang, but the story mode is so flawed that everybody is just beating everybody, breaking all unspoken power structure, and ending up with Johnny Cage being Bruce LeRoy for Halloween against Shinnok, so that Cassie Cage could then lead the new cast of characters and be Bruce LeRoy against Shinnok. One of the few things they actually did right was properly portray Sindel as a bad-ass in MK9....... ONLY TO TURN HER INTO A GOLD DIGGER IN MK11. They failed so badly that, three games in, they've already reset the timeline again and went back to before the Great Kung Lao defeated Shang Tsung.. it's clear as all hell that the further they pulled away from the original timeline, the worse the story got.
My, you have a colorful imagination ! Shang Tsung a savage
' I have a dress your size, you should wear it.
' Are you out of you goddamn mind '
'It was sewn by the best designers in Outworld'
This may need to get an update. Why? Aftermath.
You should do a history of Skarlet, she came a long way from being a new character from mk9, making her not even speak to now.
She doesn't have much of a story
Wally Gee She plays a part of a story at least. Not like in mk9, when she wasn’t even included in the story. I’m just saying she came a long way from where she debuted.
Wally Gee
A ‘History of...’ video already exists for her, but it is for ‘Mortal Kombat X’,
Shang tsung: YOUR SOUL IS MINE
Can you talk about how in MK11 there’s tons of Onaga references and that he may come back in MK12. From intro dialogue, gear that has the name of “Dragon King” and “Onaga”. Also the Krypt has the one being items, the original Kamidogu’s and Onaga items.
Seeing shang tsung with a rpg is so funny
So a bit of conflicting lore here: Bo Rai Cho can't compete on behalf of earthrelm because he was born in outworld, but Shang Tsung can fight on behalf of Outworld despite being from earthrelm?
my guess is that its raidens rule that you must be from earthrealm to compete but idk
*waits through instrumental intro*
And now a taste of things to come...
Old Man Shang Tsung in MK11 should've looked more Creepier but I'm not complaining, his gameplay is great!
BlackJohnnyCage I know what you saying he doesn’t really look old but just died his hair white his face doesn’t look old
@@xyoungdipsetx Exactly!
Slang sung -Your wallet is mine.
Ok but i dont have one
The retcon of Kitana and Mileena no longer growing up as sisters was very disappointing.
Also, as Raiden mentions after the time warp, the time warp occurs just after Kung Lao defeats Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. So Shang was still alive when the time warp happened. This makes me wonder how Sindel will come into play, as she had not yet been resurrected at that time.
U did mentioned the assistance of Quan Chi... U forgot to mention however that, it was the product of a deal... Quan Chi provided the necessary sorcery and assistance to Shang Tsung, in exchange for the location of the Temple of the Elements... the information QC needed to start the plot of MK Mythologies...
Other than that, great video as always, thank U for educating other on the events of MK... the best saga when it comes to lore in fighting games
Aftermath really showcased him better than I could have hoped
has anyone ever actually explained HOW Shang Tsung cheated in Mortal Kombat? We are in a universe where you can punch and/or kick dicks, use weapons and super powers etc so what could he have possibly done lol
He likely attempted to attack an outworld contestant outside of a structured fight which is against the rules.
Suniface, I agree. He did it in MK remaster, I watched the Mortal Kombat movie and he has a habit of fighting outside of a match, which Raiden chastises him repeatedly for.
@@fakename503 makes sence.
Definitely not a nut punch. Maybe he hit the referee?
@@suniface71 wow Shang was cursed
I'm here after Aftermath. Ooooooh boy... 😎
So if Ash or Spawn come out, would you do a "History of..." of them🤔🤔🤔
No , he is only doing MK characters
@@justindeliwe8065 he did one for terminator (live action wise) so he'll likely do one for ash
@@skeletoncrew6500 he stated in that video that he usually does Mk characters only but I agree with you
"Plot behind each other's backs" is basically Shang Tsung's and Quan Chi's default mode LOL
Great video!
*It has begun!* 😈
WE NEED A BARAKA REMASTERED!!! EVERYONE IS GETTING A REMASTERED BUT MY BOI
I love your videos cause i learn so much about these characters
With the story explained i personally understand the story thoroughly to each installment was a sequel, prequel or a different timeline in itself. And mk11 was good at telling the story but aftermath made it especially easier to follow through. I personally stopped playing at mk9 and switched to tekken (is a better fight game) but mortal Kombat is a way better story .
just thought about it kitana is kinda mileena's mother....SMMFH
Walter Reed Jr I think you could say that about the new timeline but in the old timeline that’s a bit weird
@@Makaii_h I did not find out how mileena was made until between 8 and 9 came out and as for wierd outworld has a race of beings with four arms that have different social levels goro is a prince kintaro is not I think actually considered a member of a more Savage group. Shang can look at you with straight face yeah I had a 4 armed half human half dragon work him and my previous supervisor used to work for a dragon what we call weird they call Tuesday
They really showed off his fighting skills in Aftermath. I like how they "nerfed" him in canon by having the earthrealm warriors know he'll betray them, instead of being nieve and getting caught off guard. You'd have to be an idiot or desperate to trust him.
You make exceptional history of videos the way you recap things is fluent and your voice is pretty good, if you taught a history class i might actually pay attention! great work man
Wait what about Ermac's ending in Mortal Kombat X isn't that cannon now?
Makasu kum Barrera But this video suggests that Shang Tsung came back due to time travel are there two Shang Tusungs
Yeah, judging by Shang Tsung dialogues in MK11 he's the Rebooted timeline Shang Tsung, He knew what Shao Khan did to him in MK9. Kronika should have brought back young Shang, not the MK1 one. But who knows, MK11 is filled with plotholes anyway.
@Makasu kum Barrera it is cannon but he came back due to timetravle. At the time he comes back it is BEFORE Ermac's ending.
@Makasu kum Barrera nope ermac's ending isn't canon. Shang tsung does come back and kill ermac, but not in that ending. When will you idiots learn the endings aren't canon.
The new trilogy endings aren't kanon
Shang tsung has the best overall design in Mk11 and its really fun seeing the first big bad of the whole series be the overall most dangerous villain we've seen by the end of aftermath.
What about Ermacs tower ending in mkx
Timecircle Blue yea
Kermit da froog have you seen the ending, because in pre fight dialogue with kitana shang tells her that he did kill ermac and take all hus souls including jerrods which had been confirmed to be of ermac in his mk9 ending and in his mkx ending ermac gets killed by shang so i would say that both of the endings for ermac are canon
Nolan Boy Genius right. tower endings are all in limbo-canon: plausible and then fully canon when confirmed later
Shao kahn: *sees Shang Tsung* NOW YOUR SOUL IS MINE
The Queen requires something of you.
I dont know nothing of MK, but this lore sounds brilliant!
1. If Shang Tsung was born in Earthrealm, how can he fight for Outworld?
2. How is it possible to cheat in a Mortal Kombat tournament? Seriously... you can use ice powers to freeze your opponent and throw knives at your adversaries.
Actually Bo Rai Cho saved Li Mei. Not Raiden and his forces.
Are you gonna make a history of spawn lol
Still waiting for his trailer to drop
Lol
I can summarize it easy peezy spawn was a FBI officer who on a mission was betrayed and sent to hell and he got a second chance at life but as a hell spawn with powers hence the name Spawn
I saw spawn pop up right after sindel as well
@@tired1671 It goes way deeper than that. Al simmons was chosen at birth to be a spawn & was born to a physically abusive father and while in his young adult years met Terry and Chapel who were his brothers in arms during a CIA operation in Columbia.
Aye HBW, back at it again with BOMB videos😍😎😆
He's ancient AND old? Wow, that's freaking nuts!!!
What about that dialogue from MK11 straight up telling us Shang Tsung had a brother all this Time
named Shang Lao
It's an Easter egg, he was supposed to be named shang lao but they changed it at the end
"Your soul is mine."
Dang!!! I didn’t think I’d ever get a new notification from you I’m vary glad to see one lol. And it’s a new remastered. You should do a update for the events of MK11. Great video man your the best CZcamsr when it comes to the lore of fighting games👍🏻.
But I have to agree He totally destroyed Chronika in therms of how a villain should be!
You need to make an updated video on Shang tsung due to the MK11 Aftermath Expansion.
I see that Shang Tsung can turn into ninjas such as Ermac and Rain while fighting. Hopefully he can turn into Mileena too.
My belief is that after Sindel’s death in 9, his soul wandered around the universe searching for its original body and that between the end of X and the time quake in 11 that it had found its original body
It's cool that used the likeness from the actor who played him in the first movie
Talk about the changes on sindel’s lore
Great content man. Keep up the excellent work homey.
This old school MK gameplay Is so satisfying
Shang Tsung Mortal Kombat 11 is from Mortal Kombat 1995 movie :D
This needs to be remastered again
Very nice and in-depth video! Where did you get all these informations from? Thats an honest question, because I played all MK games and a lot of the stuff you say, I can't recall seeing in there - especially anything that happens before the first game.
I pray Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa never dies he is the best voice actor for Shang Tsung I bet if they made another Mortal Kombat movie they will call Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Plus he can play the older Shang Tsung.
One word for Shang= bad ass
Hey, can you do a video of Geras discussing about his character and/or his powers? Pretty please? He is like the most badass MK 11 villain moreso than Kronika and Cetrion.
Shang Tsung is in MK X Ermacs ending where he is taking his soul
So when he tells kitana he killed Ermac and absorbed jerrods soul that would mean Ermacs ending is canon.
Can you do the backstory of Sang? I can't find any video on youtube that talked about the origin of that character
Great channel...appreciate the nerdy entertainment and knowledge
Finish the remaining 32 MkX comic in 1 whole video & upload tonight, midnight or tomorrow please! xD
When I played this game the one of the manuals said Shang Tsung was a demon. It was one of the early Mortal Kombat games.
In MKX, Ermacs ladder ending showed Shang Tsung.
What got me 100% about Mortal Kombat was how it was a exact depiction of corruption in all it's perversity. Effectively a sociology, criminal psychology & civil court college level education including machine operations & maintenance. 🤸
Pre cyber security technology. 🥳
Im glad they brought back the og villain as the main villain again in mk11 aftermath
I still dream of a good MK adaptation, like a Netflix show or something.
There making a movie
The 1995 movie is a good adaptation and Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa is the definitive Shang Tsung
