Hello! Here I will be analyzing Scorpion's ending in MK1 (2023). With this ending, I was able to theorize some things that could happen in some DLC or in Mortal Kombat 2. Let's go!
Here, we see the Lin Kuei clan (left) and the newly formed Shirai Ryu clan (right). Note that on the Shirai Ryu clan side, we have Hanzo Hasashi, Tomas Vrbada, Harumi, Kuai Liang and many ninjas from the Shirai Ryu clan. On the other hand, the Lin Kuei clan only has Bi-Han and many Lin Kuei clan ninjas. Did you understand the message?
While Kuai Liang has his family and clan by his side, Bi-Han has no one but his clan. This shows the loneliness that Bi-Han is going through when he decides to betray his family for the glory of the Lin Kuei clan. Kuai Liang has a family and an army. Bi-Han only has an army.
And one more thing: notice that Kuai Liang and Tomas are wearing their normal in-game clothes, while Bi-Han is wearing a blue kimono, an outfit completely different from what he wears in the normal game. I took this to mean: while Kuai Liang and Tomas moved on with their lives, Bi-Han did not. He dressed in extravagant clothes and made an alliance with a sorcerer (Shang Tsung) to cybernetize his clan (seen in his tower ending).
Sorry, but I'll have to finish the rest of the theory in another post, because I can't do more than two uploads in this post here. There are three images and one was used, so this theory will have three posts. I already wrote down the entire theory in my notepad, so I already have everything saved.
