Hello, Riley. I was just wondering why you undid my edit on Takeda's page and would like to discuss it with you. I can understand why you would remove the additional quotes as too many would lead to clutter, but why did you also remove orange aura Takeda forms I mentioned in "Combat Abilities" and the concept art revealing the idea of him having eight swords in "Trivia"?

As shown in the game, some of Takeda's special moves (Fist Flurry, Tornado Strike, his teleport, Tri Kunai, Air Spear, etc.) show he can form an orange, plasma-like aura around his body and weapons. Since it wasn't mentioned, I added it in during my last edit. Yet, you removed it as if it wasn't worth noting, despite it showing he has powers that his father or mentor don't have.

Takeda's concept art (which can be found in the MKX Krypt) reveals NetherRealm Studios was having difficulty deciding what weapons Takeda would use. Before finally choosing whips, one specific art piece shows Takeda in a Spec Ops costume, with official staff writing on it. It states he would have used 8 different swords and was named "Spider" (likely his ninja name). Since it's concept art from the developers, would have drastically changed his fighting style if they went with it, and his "name" was likely referring to his mentor (Scorpion, Spider, both arachnids), I thought it was very valid information to mention in trivia.

So, forgive me if I seem too persistent on this topic, but I can't see why this information was removed with the quotes, due to it being in the game and confirmed by the developers themselves. If you could please explain why you removed it, I think I'll have a better understanding. Thank you for your time and I hope you had a good 4th of July.
