Shao Kahn is type of dude to make a theater employee pay full price for their ticket. " No employee discount for you! ".

Definitely my favorite MK villain. I still remember playing against him for the very first time way back in MKII and thinking "This dude means business". Frickin' shoulder-charged the daylights out of me.

That one dislike is from Kotal Kahn

Favorite Shao Kahn quote: "It's official: you suck!"

"Vacate my throne or I'll soak these sands with your blood!"

The Greatest villain in Mortal Kombat history the mighty Shao Kahn !

9:27 "I will not join an alliance of traitors" smartest move in mk history

Shao Khan is one of the Greatest Final Bosses in Video Game history

He'll be back. The wrath of Khan is never quenched. 😁

Shao Kahn serves as a 3 in 1 evil counterpart/shadow archetype to these characters: -To Raiden: Both are deities with immense power who have interest in Earthrealm, choosing champions to aid themselves on their interest. But Raiden cares and protects Earthrealm and his own allies, whilst Shao Kahn sees his allies as expendable and wants to subjugate Earthrealm. Raiden uses white magic, Shao Kahn uses black magic. Shao Kahn is what Raiden could have become if he harnessed his power for conquest rather than protection. -To Johnny Cage: Both are people who have egos and like to taunt their enemies in combat, coupled with having greenish powers and their own families. But Johnny Cage uses his powers for good and his taunts are light hearted, along with actually caring about his family, whilst Shao Kahn brainwashed his, treats them poorly and his taunts are dark hearted. Johnny Cage is a jerk with a heart of gold, Shao Kahn is an evil jerkass. Shao Kahn serves as what Johnny could have become if he never met Raiden and the Earthrealm champions. -To Kotal Kahn: Both are rulers of Outworld who obtained their thrones by usurping the previous rulers. But Kotal Kahn usurped the throne in the name of what's right, whereas Shao Kahn usurped the throne in the name of obtaining more power. Kotal Kahn is a respected ruler who rules through respect and genuinely cares about Outworld's denizens, a man who is ready for war, yet never actively seeking it. Shao Kahn is a tyrant who rules through fear who speaks about the glory of Outworld, yet caring nothing about the people inside it, a conqueror who takes what he sees fit. Shao Kahn serves as what Kotal could have become if he chose to rule through fear rather than respect.

i love how shao khan looks in mortal kombat 11

Shao Kahn answered to noone and everyone feared him. Exactly why he was the most badass Mortal Kombat character ever.

NetherRealm Studios made a fool out of Shao Kahn in MK11

Shao Kahn is a badass villain too bad he was a jobber in MK11

I am Shao Khan!! Conquerer of Worlds!! You will taste no victory.

He's the marquee villain of the entire series. Shinnok is a weinie and Kronika is meh.

You know you’re really a good villain when even the villain of the first game is scared of you.

"You weak pathetic fools, I've come for you souls"!!!

My favourite versions of Shao Kahn is in MK2 & MK3!!

I hope that Onaga has been spectating these events in the form of Damashi, and that he seeks out other Titans. With Shujinko (or Kung Lao), he manages to have them defeat a few Titans and then steals their power as his own, eventually re-entering his body and becoming whole once more. After this, he learns of Shao location and decides to deal with him once and for all. Instead of murdering his former adviser, Onaga kills him and merges him with Ermac, creating a new character who is completely loyal to Onaga.

Onaga did not initially wish to merge the realms. the one being attempted to corrupt him initially while he was alive to do so but he was too strong to be corrupted. Shao Kahn however was corrupted and poisoned and killed Onaga in order to proceed with the merging of the realms and his climb to power. Onagas essence was weaker than his body in life however and there he was corrupted but Shao Kahn had already begun his plan at that point so it didn’t matter anyways.

The one being would be an awesome boss for MK12. Also having at least 2 other elder gods on the roster. I would also love it since everything will be reset,we could possibly get to see the deceased characters that haven’t ever been playable (Kitanas father Jerrod,Queen Sytholin aka the ruler of reptiles home,and the Queen of the Kytinn,Al Sheva) btw Sytholin and Al Sheva are referenced in the krypt,they both have their own special artifacts in a room in Goros lair

Shao Khan is always a classic villain in mortal kombat. He is one hard boss back on MK3 and MK2.

What about the history of Onaga? I feel there wasn't much done with his character and he is so awesome.

I love your breakdowns of each character from every fighting game franchises

Thanks for this video HBTW! I love Shao Kahn and really enjoyed learning more about him!

These are really great man! Thanks for making these history of episodes

I want everybody to take a moment to admire how Kitana and Jade rock their hips when they walk. Btw I always thought she slashed his neck 🤔

Young one, this is yet another excellent video, definately a lot of little tidbits that not everyone knew, and its 20 minutes long. Keep up the hard work.

Your videos man. Keep em coming, never knew i never subscribed cause your vids always in my recommendation

Original timeline Shao Kahn is a menace while MK11 Shao Kahn is an embarrassment. Like how could he lose to Kitana and be stupid enough to trust Shang Tsung?

Damn great job as always!

I'm going to be honest here. I dig his design in MK11. And the voice acting. I know ... unpopular opinion, but idgaf :') Shao got even more brutal looks in MK11.

I really love and enjoy these ive learned so much

oh l couldnt avoid some spoilers at the end... Anyways excelent video and format too,how the videos in the background merge with the narration it was really well done

I wish they would have expanded on the story of Armageddon and also the new 3D characters at the time stories instead of the reboot. Mortal Kombat went from a martial arts tournament/saga to a medieval Shakespeare drama....love the graphics though

Shao Kahn is out there along with Shedder, Lord Zedd, Munrah, Skeletor and Darth Vader as the most badass villains that ever existed.

Basically, Shao Kahn was the Sauron to Onaga's Morgoth (just more backstabby). That about right?

Lovin the Reptile v Liu Kang OST in the background...That fight was lit af..

You know where it's at bro, with that sick ass reptile theme in the background. 👌

Favorite Mk character

I really hope he comes back he was the reason I decided to buy mk11.

Hell yea Shao Kahn ALL DAY!! Great Vid

I preordered this game day 1 just to play as Shao Khan. He is my favourite character and ofcourse my main

As someone who stopped playing Mortal Kombat in the 90s, this development of the story, specifically with Raiden, Liu Kang, Kitana, Sub-Zero and Scorpion given such heroic storylines, it's really cool. They took a campy, meaningless game and gave it such a rich story.

14:19 I remember playing as Motaro quite a bit in MK Trilogy.

Dope video!!!

Ayyy I'm early to his vids for once

They need to do a spin off game that reestablishes the story after maybe another reset. The game could be like Shaolin Monks style but covering the story of Edenia being taken over. Can you imagine a game centered around Kitana, Mileena, Rain!!!, Shao Kahn, Tanya, etc....

Shao Khan!!! Instant click 😊😊😊

amazing video homie

Thanks for the remaster

“Let’s make Outworld great again” -Shoa Kahn. Haha. My favorite intro dialog from MK11. Pro or anti Trump, it’s funny as hell.

Shao Kahn is my second favorite character in Mortal Kombat and my favorite antagonist of the series. I also really love playing him in Mortal Kombat Deception.

Well that cleared everything up lol thank you Sir!

thanks for the video

As long as quan chi doesn’t come back I’ll accept what comes

I honestly feel like Shao Kahn is the best choice to be Outworld's ruler. Sure he is a tyrant with pretty much no compassion but he also had better winstreak than anyone else. Kotal Kahn is too weak for this role and Kitana just does not know how Outworld really works. Shao himself said that it needs an iron fist - not a velvet glove. And he is right. Outworld is not Edenia. It's all about the survival of the fittest. And who's the living embodiment of that? Shao Kahn. Both Kitana and Kotal can either be assassinated or easily deposed (what actually happens in MK11 + Aftermath). While there was no knows attempts on Shao Kahn's life. Because he would simply crush anyone dumb enough to try.

Got here as soon as I could worth it

That was awesome

Are you going to do videos on the Virtua fighter characters?

Also where the hell are Taven and Dagon because according to the Mortal Kombat Wiki besides Shao Kahn Shang Tsung and Liu Kang spirit there were the only two combatants Mortal Kombat and they're not even brob once any reboot a timeline or mentioned expect them for Kombat pack number 2 coming whenever

hey man you have a very cool chill show... BUT THAT OPENING IS REALLY FREAKING LOUD lol I know I know we all have volume control in our devices but seriously man, It just doesn't flow. and I LOVE your show, as I have previously commented. imo these are the very very best mortal Kombat/character bio's

Looks like ITS LIT🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sindel enjoys Shao Khan's spear ;)

Yes yes I enjoy it But what I really want is mortal combat comics To expand on what happened to everyone after Defeating Kronika

Love ur Channel

Good video bruh.

Can you do one for Raiden?

slaughtered by Shang Tsung -- played for a fool

Hi, Wooww, SHAO KAHN is your favorite Mortal Kombat Character. I recon not many People have him so high up on the List. Interesting Story about him, great Video. My favorite MK Character was and still is SCORPION ;-)

Notification squad! 💪🏽

I think it's time for the next MK12 to revolve around Onaga, maybe Onaga will be revived from Shao Khan & mutated reptile.

I can’t believe he spelled Shao Kahn’s name right in the title but wrong in the thumbnail...

It must have been circa 1996 whenever I was first introduced to MK Trilogy. I remember watching my cousins play. All that gore, fatalities, the violence, and my cousins cheering me on whenever I beat one of them, 6 year old me was captivated. I remember once I went to the grocery store and I was waiting for my mom to finish with her purchase. There was an old stand up arcade machine which actually had MK Trilogy loaded up on it. I'm like hell yeah, let me get some quarters and play. Little did I know, that was my introduction to being handed Ls. Time and time again, I would get whooped and Shao Kahn's voice would boom throw the machine "HAHAH YOU SUCK". MAAANNN I went home and cried. Cried like a baby. 6 year old me couldn't comprehend why this machine was so mean to me. Years later, I bought MK 2011 and I finally got my revenge. A whole 15 years later. It's funny because as an immature human, I let my emotions get the best of me. As I matured and got older, I can't help but appreciate his introduction to the series. I might just buy this game now. Even if I'm 4 years late. The trash talking is supreme. Shao Kahn was my first introductory villain and damn has he stood the test of time.

that was superb

Spoiler Alert: Shang Tsung betrays Shao Khan...again. And takes his soul along with Sindels

In mk11 they established that the world had been reset 5 times

Love him, amazing character design :-)

Not only the greatest MK villain by far but the best fighting game last boss in history. Heck he’s in my top five best fictional villains of all time. Imo.

I have a theory on how shao kahn came to the top of the tower at the end of Armageddon to mk9. Taven defeated blaze in konquest n the power of the firespawn spread through tavens armor n split individually between all the kombatants. Only problem was that shao kahn as a deadly foe was able to take down everyone between taven, and himself thus leading to raiden n his unfortunate demise.

Imagine The first Chapter in mk12 Being Named REVENGE and You Play As Takeda and his clan following him To destroy the Chiten and kill d'vorah

When MK12 is released can you do an part 2 talking about aftermath and MK12

Great video man, what’s your thoughts on the aftermath DLC and everything that happened with Shao khan?

You think we'll ever see the one being?

Can u imagine a fusion between Shao Kahn and Thanos? Which sounds better? Thanokahn/Thano Kahn or Kahnos?

i had no idea kitana slashed his eyes i thought she sliced his throat thank you for the clarification 😊

Good stuff

MK11 did Shao Kahn no justice.

Its crazy how the new timeline, is so different from the OG. Somethings shouldn't have changed 💯

Shao Kahn is probably my favorite MK character, like to see a game where he is the ruler of realms

This video came out of my birthday

Shao Kahn is the king of king's the greatest of all time. Favorite villain. Great video bro keep it up. 🔝🔝🔝

Up until this game where he demonstrated care for Mileena and genuinely enamored Sindel, Shao Kahn had zero redeemable qualities. That's my favorite thing about him, his thing is that he's simply a tyrant. A feared, successful tyrant who manages to not be so one-dimensional.

I subscribed love the videos belive it or not mortal kombat 11 is by far my most favorite it's not a perfect mortal kombat game I realised we havnt had a perfect mortal kombat game especially since armageddon and now that 11 slated timeline clean again I wonder if mortal kombat will clean the slate every trilogy that happens anyways been a big fan of mortal kombat since it released when I was 7 years old in 92 I grew up playing the games and nope my mom was ok with what I played as long as I knew it was fake lol but please keep making mortal kombat videos especially armageddon and 11 and like to see a comparison video of the 2 what they got in common and also like to see a video of what if midway went with taven after armageddon defeating blaze and not Shao Khan and if that timeline still exists especially after all thease years honestly I never wanted the original timeline to end or the 3d style fighting to end but i wonder with 11 ending the reboot era if wb will bring in a new style of fighting and graphical where it wont be 2d or 2.5 or 3d either but something new we havnt seen for a mortal kombat 12

Awesome

God his redesign is so damn good, especially his standard costume. Perfectly encapsulates his "super human barbarian warlord" persona.

Its been a long road from the Mortal Kombat coin-op days.

1000th like

I had thought Kitana slit his throat and presumably killed Shao Kahn. Thank you for correcting me and showing it. I know with the time reset it doesn't change much but it's still eye opening in its own blinding way.
