@Jacky 50A Instead of being reincarnated, the most probable thing would be that Shinnok and Quan Chi, or only Quan Chi, used very powerful magic to capture him, because that's how Onaga's followers did so in the first timeline, and they're the only ones who ever did so.

That's another thing that doesn't make sense: why would Blaze need to be summoned or revived from lava if he never even died or hibernated before? He should still be a prisoner of the followers, guarding the dragon egg, unless someone prevented them from capturing him this time (unlikely) or freed him from that burden.

Nothing against Blaze, I think he's cool too, but the story mode is so mixed up already. It should have been just a war against Shinnok and the Brotherhood of Shadow, but then the Outworld civil war begins, and even the kamidogu are involved at some point. This looks cool until now, but there's a limit for so much mix up. If Blaze popped up in story mode with appearently no context for it happening... Well, at least he could be the Big Bad if he was in.
