Obviously, he's heavily implying that at least one of them will betray the other in the game, if they're going to try to work together at all. In the original MK4, we had Jarek "representing" the Black Dragon in Kano's place because Kano was presumably dead, and Jarek decided to side with the Earthrealm and the good guys, at least until the evil forces were defeated. But since this time we're not only sure that Kano is alive but also that he's in the game, do you think he'll do the same? Or will he do like he did in MK9 - siding with the bad guys because it might be more fruitful for him?

If he sides with Quan Chi and Shinnok, which sounds more probable considering Himmerick's statement, then could he have a reason to betray them? I won't even mention the probabilities of Quan Chi betraying at least one of them. It looks like he can't spend a whole game without betraying and/or trying to kill at least half of its character roster.

It also makes me think of the probability of Jarek being in the game. Not wanting to offend any of his fans, but I think he was only brought to MK4 because they needed someone to substitute Kano. Even his special moves in the game were either borrowed from Kano or apparent attempts of new moves for Kano. About his fatalities, they were 100% copies of Kano's ones. Could he be brought back in a more original and interesting form? I'm one of the people who doesn't really care about him, as the only game I played and in which I've seen him is Armageddon, in which he does nothing, but I think he deserves this chance.

@MKRedemption Highlighting the names was something new I was trying. I thought that could make it easier to differentiate the username from the actual speech. I thought of it after talking to Dirtbag Daryl and Jacky 50A about Noob, but since you're the only person I've directly talked to since that then you're the only one whose username I highlighted. Sorry if you got offended for it. I wasn't trying to call your attention, just to differentiate the username from the speech. To be fair, Jarek's moves became more different from Kano in Armageddon with the lasso and whatnot. He was kinda cool, so I wouldn't mind seeing him back, but it's more unlikely now since we still have Kano. Would rather have Reiko anyway as an MK4 character.
