Baraka's weakness is toothpaste. And his blades rusting.

Baraka using weapons is like Sonic using a car.

They actually made a callback to Baraka's MK9 ending in MK11's Aftermath Story expansion, though Shang Tsung disguises himself as an unnamed Shokan instead.

Very cutting edge stuff. You took quite a stab and came out with a sharp analysis. You took the history of Baraka and repeatedly stabbed it to a bloody pulp with the blades growing out of your arms... metaphorically of course.

This channel is the most wholesome thing to ever come out of Mortal Kombat

I don't think it matters whether Baraka lives or dies. I think Mortal Kombat:Shaolin Monks hints at this. When you fight a Tarkatan they are only named Tarkatan but, Baraka being the only one with a name struck me as odd. Maybe it's not a name but, an Alpha status or rank.

I have recently discovered your videos and as someone who’s wanted to create content on KZfaq but been too nervous to do watching you is inspiring me. Your stuff is wonderfully informative and have a unique charm

Excellent video on his background. Baraka was still a very powerfull character in MK2 even without the Blade Spin if you knew to play him properly.

Ed Boon is never comfortable with a character backstory, he feels the need to change it all the time.

Doesnt he remind you of those people in school videos that are from like 1999

Huh with mk11 showing both bone blades and metallic, I always had the idea that it might have been a tarkatan practice to douse/coat their bone protrusions in metal to make them more deadly.

now that you did a video on baraka, it only makes sense to do a video on mileena

Do you remember back when people did Flash sprite videos?

These are awesome, every single one. Love the dry wit, it's hilarious! For the next one, the best suggestions have been made already...Reptile, Kung Lao or Goro!!

"Raiden...YOUREALLYGONNADOMELIKETHAT Raiden!?"

your channel is absolutely fantastic

I liked the Baraka in MK rebirth. The faux realistic spin on the characters was very interesting in my opinion.

Im really liking these MK videos of yours.

watched your vids all day lol very underrated channel. keep it up

Roses are Red, My lightsaber is now blue, The best MK game, Is Mortal Kombat 2.

love your videos man !

Baraka has always been my favourite. I've used him to kick some major ass since like 2009

7:41 Code name .... Lil Wayne ?!!!

PLEASE do a "Everything you need to know about ERMAC " video!!! great video man.. i love all your MK vidz!

I loved everything about this video. And the puns were out of this world, so cutting!

I think the MK team should've stuck with the Malibu Comics version of the outworld mutants all being different. Imo, introducing his tarkatan race and their vast quantity took away from the character's uniqueness. When he was first introduced in MK2 he was incredibly intimidating, mysterious and seemed truly dangerous. Now there are multiple tarkatans and Baraka himself has turned to cannon-fodder. They even (most probably) killed him off in MKX. Not a fan of the way Reptile and Baraka have turned into jobbers nowadays. Anyways, great video as usual.

Ah, more quality, entertaining information! I love your SLICES on MK lore, but you gotta CUT the puns... Who are you gonna take a STAB at next?

Ironically MK10 Mileena actually had the potential to be a good leader of outworld, as she's half edinian and half tarkatan (which makes her quater outworlder) she is a physical representation of their worlds merging as one. And she had matured a lot by MK10 she could have continued to grow.

Based baraka has a great story arc in mk11! nice justice for an overlooked fan favorite!

You’re channel is awesome

Nice video dude

So Baraka can use his nose as his remembering sniff in Mortal Kombat Aftermath he did the same thing when he found out that Shang Tsung wasn't a shokan

Baraka is 1 of my favorite newcomers in Mortal Kombat II (alongside Jax & Sub-Zero). His shredder/slicer move (whatever you wanna call it) really came in handy against the secret bosses & Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat II as well as Onaga in Mortal Kombat Deception. I often said I wouldn't mind seeing Baraka go up against someone like Vega from Street Fighter. I think Baraka would not only kick Vega's ass, he would gouge him in the chest & cut his head off (sorry, I got carried away).

In Mortal Kombat Legacy, he looks like an Ork.

His last name is Bama.

Dude! i enjoyed your video so much, great research, entertaining, great editing! a JOB WELL DONE! you only do mk characters? If not i would like Iori yagami from the kof series. If it has to be mortal kombat can you do reptile?

Baraka in MK Legacy looks like Quark from Star Trek DS9

I am hooked on ur vids

In comics, games and figures most Tarkatans have bone blades but the question Baraka's blades are made of bones or Metal 🤔

I think you should do fan facts of every mk game, but real things which nobody knows, like the background on liu kang MK ending, that was amazing

I love the music at the start of 14.50 ( Baraka book of remembrance ) were can I find this Tabmok99 ?

He's back for mk11! So sick

When he said he’ll take a stab at it. I cried

Cute Baraka mini-cosplay.

He waited it out till the sequel lol

I loved this! amazing facts about Baraka! :D also, thats not Baraka in the Beetle Lair fight. look at Baraka's Deception ending.

maybe shang tsung can bring him back again, since shang wanted to be the outworld leader, (also mileena can come back, according to her ending in mkx) and in ermac's ending in mkx he does come back, maybe he will claim to be the new kahn, also bringing back some allies... *BUT REMEMBER, THAT'S JUST A THEORY! A GAAAAAAAME THEORY!!!*

I love Baraka, he is the best fighter

He lives!

Do a video on Tavon and or Daegon

Tabmok when are you sending your resume to NRS ? I expect you to be on the design team to salvage the series.

I forgot that Baraka is a Mileena simp

It also means Blessing in Swahili

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Baraka confirmed for MK11

Baraka and Kung lao are two of my favorite characters!!!!!!

fujin li mei and sareena didnt make it into kmx or mk11 why

How does baraka even move his arms since his blades are almost as long as his arms

He gets the metal blades when he levels up, like a Pokèmon..

I have a feeling, that the new MK1 might give some new aspect about Barry-T

Why was Baraka's Blade Spin move removed from Mortal Kombat 2 but was brought back in Mortal Kombat 3 if it's overpowered?

You got Legacy a rebirth confused

Can you do Sonya Blade please?

The Hebrew interpretation is interesting. Your translation is on point, but when I heard Baraka I thought "barak" which is the Hebrew word for lightning, so i guess baraka could be the feminine word for lightning.

They let D’Vorah kill the three best characters

Ok that's why him and kung Lao be beefn lmaoo

do sub zero next and scorpion next

Do Rain Next!!!

I live like an hour away from galloping ghosts i really need to go

Defenders of the Realm: The horde was constantly fighting over leadership/pecking order. This was before the tourney happened, and they were organized by Shang Tsung/Shao Khan. Pre-MK1: Goro was placed as leader of the horde (to better control/fight off Earthrealm's defenders). MK1: Goro gets busy with the tourney (remember that he was champion for a ton of time). The horde is left looking for a leader... Pre-MK2: Goro gets offed by Liu Kang, and fighting over the alpha male position starts. Baraka ends up in charge after Shang Tsung sees his abilities in action (also, probably because they needed a new leader for the horde). MK2: Mileena is created by splicing Baraka's dna with Kitana's dna in the flesh pits. The fight is brought to Earth/the Shaolin monks by Baraka and his horde (probably wanting to kill Liu Kang OR at least kill his morale). Remember, Earthrealm hasn't seen the tarakans before. After the battle, Baraka joins the MK tourney because he wanted to "finish the job". MK10: Mileena/Baraka are still in that relationship. But now they are officially rebels (as Kotal Khan is now leader of Outworld). Dvorah ends Baraka under her Khan's orders - possibly to stop the rebels from fucking up the plans. (Hinted in the original MK2's ending where he and the horde rebel against Shao Khan's rule...) I still like the theory that Baraka is a title for the alpha male - not the name of any of the characters. Makes sense because a horde type of predators won't have names for themselves.

He’s playable in mk 11

Modern Art

Reptile plus Baraka equals god

It amazes me the power you have ; to be able to talk with those teeth in and still deliver gut punching quips . Ps. You called baraka being in MK 11 .

How about the subzero bros? Hmm...?

I like this nerd "subscribed"

1:49 who set the diary of a wimpy kid tinfoil ball with toothpicks fire?

Raise a face in Shaolin monks though

Do Sareena please 🙏

These videos are amazing. I love your style too. More people should see this. Can you make one on Reiko? His MK4 ending was a real confusion for a lot of people. People thought he was Shao Kahn for years, but the throne he sat on wasn't the throne to Outworld, it had the mark of the Brotherhood of Shadow on it.

you are a handsome Tarkartan

THE BEST BARAKA!!!

so tarkatans are like shokan there half breeds

Did d'vorah use autotune in that one clip?

prince of show can

I honestly didn't know Micheal Jai White was in MK rebirth

I wished they made shaolin monk 2 with the new graphics and more characters

Can you PLEASEEEE do Sheeva???

...? So if Baraka and Mileena are doing the dirty does that mean there's a niño? We have Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs, why not show us their offspring in MK 11?

my goodness did raiden look HORRIBLE in MK Shaolin Monks

Show dot must be nice👻

Why u gotta do me like that

Ah yes, Baraka. Mileena's side bitch.

In terms of Live Action, Annihilation did no favours for anybodies representation. Legacy seemed to base the Tarkatans on a (likely popular at the time) Orc-like design. To me all you need to make Baraka work is to shave the head/eye brows, put in contacts and emphasise the teeth. The head doesn't really need overt prosthetic beyond that.

Unfortunately All of this has been retcon in Mortal Kombat 11

Ive seen you reference rebirth alot but rebirth was a film students fan fiction he made for a class and not canon at all

The puns are clever and funny lmao

I love galloping ghost,,chitown shit 💯

I just want a biological explanation of how they retract into the arms and fit without hurting Baraka, let alone all Tarkatans

Can you guys make turkish subbitle please I like you guys.

I can confirm as an Arab that baraka does mean a blessing
