He also murdered Liu Kang’s brother Chan.

I can't believe (and yet definitely believe) that Ed Boon added in a Pre-Mortal Kombat reference with Shang Lao.

Who's Master Boyd?

@@joshua2764 They showed him in the MK movie after Johnny Cage was done his scene (this was at the start). And he told Cage about this tournament. But it turned out that Master Boyd was really Shang Tsung who made himself look like him once Cage walked off and Boyd was in the parking lot.

Johnny cage:” what tournament?” Master Boyd(Shang Tsung):”Theee tournament “

Violet Herald Give him your soul then. Shang tsung: hehehehehehe

Get a good hit in on him and he will get pissed though

Too bad it is Quan Chi in disguise, lol. Green energy and skeletons are his thing!

Raximus3000 he’s always had green energy tho

I mean the person who portrayed Shang Tsung in the Mortal Kombat (1995) movie was an interesting take on the character the guy who portrayed him in Mortal Kombat Legacy I believe was the same guy

It's his voice too

Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa is one of the reasons why Shang Tsung is one of my favorite MK villains of all time.

Some actors just take up residence. It's like breathing for them.

@@whitelichmage7004 I love characters like him. Smart and cool.

They not only modeled him after the guy from the movie, they got the guy from the movie to voice him as well.

Better disguise than Superman.

I totally thought it was Shang Tsung and when it turned out to be Shang Tsung I was all like 😮

This could be said for anyone though

@@djbuttermilkbiscuit5205 true that

Yeah, but it's still Johnny saying it. It's not something you'd usually expect him to say.

His voice is kinda calming, a rarity in the MK universe (that aren't guest characters)

best 29 minutes of my life, he's the best shang tsung.......period!

Ha ha ha

True dat

My favourite one too.

16:08

Haha I agree Kabal's reaction is hilarious!!!

Many of these intro dialogues are basically a love letter to fans. Probably one of the best in terms of dialogue.

This whole game was built on “small details”. Do you see the graphics, my dude?

@@kexard Pretty much love action as this point

So that's the reference between them. Nice.

Did not know that

Well, that's what it is. Thanks for clarification. I thought Shang Lao really was his brother that was mentioned during some previous MK games. Wonder if they ever use this in the future and introduce Snag Tsung's brother...

@@magnushammersmith121 they did something similar in Street Fighter with Shen Long.

I always wanted the devs to release something more about Shang Tsung's past. I know MK Conquest kinda tackled a bit of it, like, we learned his sifu's name was "Master Cho" and he used to bang a fellow sorceress called "Omegis", but we still never got to learn real well about his story, i.e. whoever were his parents or siblings, or why exactly was he cursed to become a soulsucker, or how did he drop by at Shao Kahn's court and become the imperial sorcerer just like that?

Sub Zero will do...

Human air conditioner will dp

This is a fire from Hell,I am sorry to say no one can cure it

Too true

Cary Tagawa does it again!!!

Your soul is mine. Just in case you forgot the guy is evil

He's got that evil charisma that just binds you to his will~💕

Is it weird that his voice kinda turns me on?

@@obnoxious_alien This is EXACTLY what I meant.

No wonder he hated ma....

His father, too - 'sonuvabitch had it coming.' Makes me wonder at what age he shot him. The way Erron speaks of his mother in the present tense makes it sound like she's still alive and giving hell. But then one of his intros with Cassie also from MK11 makes it sound like his mother's been dead for a long time. 'My Ma would've loved you,' Cassie's reply 'Aww, sounds like you miss her bunches' followed up by Erron's 'I hated Ma.' Erron's change of tense when talking about his mother is odd - unless the exchange with Shang Tsung is meant jokingly, i.e. Erron can't get a break from his mother even in death - which I prefer as he's still the supernaturally long-lived Old West gunslinger instead of some modern day marksman.

@@ep614 He probably has a little PTSD from his mom beating him all those years. Remember, he was taught to fight back. He probably got the "be a man" treatment too.

@@ep614 It could be timeline fuckiness. As in, one timeline she's dead, the next she's not.

Erron Black is an interesting character but I kinda prefer Stryker if he would return in a later game he should’ve been a DLC in Mortal Kombat X

Just like the film conterpart xD

Word on Streets that, Sonya can put it on ya...

The dress part made me laugh cause Shang Tsung really did make Sonya look like a hooker when he abducted her to outworld after Cage beat Goro.

@@TheNotoriousDMX Nice reference lol

@@LetsDuddies yup😁

You know it's bad when Noob Saibot fears someone.

@@randomcenturion7264 why would he fear onaga?

@@xxplick Well, in the previous time line, ShangTsung and Quan Chi formed the Deadly Alliance to kill Shao Khan and Lui Kang. It devolved into a final battle between the the two sorcerers and Raiden. Raiden was defeated, but then the two turned on each other. Onaga awoke, and in desperation, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi and Raiden untied their power to stop him, but they barely even annoyed him. Hell, even Shao Khan resorted to poisoning Onaga because even he was afraid to fight him one on one. Point being, Onaga is one of the biggest threats to the Realms and waking him up is something even the other villains would want to avoid.

@@xxplick IIRC, Onaga is one of the most powerful (and therefore most feared) beings in the realms canonically.

Finbar Brolly heh, I was wondering who he was. How come he hasn’t appear in the current timeline game

Too bad they didn't cast Hamill as Joker in this game.

Or Heath Ledger (think i spelled right)

@@zahkrosis666 While Heath did great as the Joker, Mark Hamill, for a lot of people, is the definitive Joker.

Also Heath is dead

@@jennifercorbett8640 Yeah nothing against Richard Epcar but his Joker is lacking also the fact that the Joker is even in this game to begin with when he's already in Injustice 1 and 2 and most likely will be in 3 as well makes my blood boil. The dude isn't even a fighter in a game where pretty much every character is a trained martial artist with decades of experience if not centuries in the case of Raiden , Shang Tsung and others I've likely forgotten about. He sticks out like a sore thumb and has no place in a game like this .

That is real sorcery there. The energy needed to do that... O_O Huge respect!

Cetrion is short as hell

One of my favorite things about his intros LOL Since everyone is always moving, you never get the chance to compare. It makes sense, but I didn't realise how short people like Cassie and Jacqui were.

You forgot hehehuhuehe

ZiwAreX Shang Tsung: hippity hoppity, your soul is my property

​@@gjtrue Lol, evil BFs

His voice in general

Not even close. It's so beautifully creepy.

You can even see his adams apple bounce when he laughs

Dormamu: Spare me.....

We must first consult with the elder gods

Over 3 years later, we managed to find a worthy successor.

He's the dude playing the dude disguised as another while not knowing what dude he is... ...or does he know what dude he is? 🤔

Kronika most of warn him of the Kahn’s betrayal.

@@a.jthomas6132 or he lived ti already, is this a shang stung that survived or resurrected normally or he was jsut borutgh up from the past by Kronica

He watched the mk9 cutscenes

I think Shang Tsung was resurrected (already hinted in Ermac's MKX ending) so he already knows what happened. And Shao Kahn's response becomes even funnier when you realize he really has no idea about it, as it's quite obvious that he was brought from before Sindel was empowered.

He's the sexiest in all departments.

Except Sub-Zero and Scorpion, they're too serious

Meanwhile Shang Tsung to Rambo and Robocop: can I enlist your services

That be very cool for the next boss, course that’s for whatever happens in lu kangs and katana’s timeline fixing goes next.

There are 7 references and 1 cameo in kung lao's ending

I'm hoping Shujinko, Li Mei and Havik returns too. And hey, maybe they could make Apep an actual character like Shujinko.

Maybe he'll be DLC

It's possible Fujin will be added, judging by the announcer voice lines.
