The Shirai Ryu Fire Garden is an arena that debuted in Mortal Kombat 11. It's the current base of operations and home of the Shirai Ryu clan.
Overview
The Shirai Ryu Fire Garden is a garden located in a unknown forest of Earthrealm that is only known by the clan itself or their closest allies. It's name stems from the garden's plant life, which have fire like color. After rebuilding his clans from those who were victimized in their past, Grandmaster Hanzo Hasashi had the new Shirai Ryu build the Fire Garden to honor previous members and families who had died, although it is unknown if this was during or after Mortal Kombat X.
In Mortal Kombat 11, after the Special Forces base is destroyed, Grandmaster Hasashi allows Earthrealm's defenders to use the location as their base of operation, knowing that they have no other sanctuary from Kronika's forces. Scorpion from the past would later travel to the Fire Garden to honor his future self's last wish. Upon seeing the Fire Garden, he somberly acknowledges that the Shirai Ryu are truly restored and joins Earthrealm's defenders, informing them that Kharon will aid them in defeating Kronika.
