As one comment said, kuai Liang is Chinese and hanzo is Japanese, and kuai liang has gone through the trouble of setting up a Japanese tea ceremony. This takes place during the modern age, so it's fair to assume, that sub zero huddled over a little laptop for a good few hours in order to search up facts about the tradition

Scorpion: “I hate you” Sub-Zero: “I know” * *bro hugs* *

"We won't listen to reason until we beat each other to near death" -Every MK character ever

If you ever feel like an idiot, just remember that Sektor tried to burn Scorpion

I just noticed that when Kuai Liang, a Chinese man, tries to make peace with Hanzo, a Japanese man, he’s doing a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. He’s doing everything in his power to prove the good will he truly has towards Hanzo and the Shirai Ryu

*Sektor throws fire* Scorpion : An old friend

"Only real friends execute people together." - *Deadpool*

“I gave you a home, I was your mentor, yet after all this you ally with Sektor?” HE SPITTIN

The longest rivalry turns into the biggest friendship.

The fact that Scorpion becomes good friends with Sub Zero after everything that had happened and the fact they both admitted mistakes is what really sold 10 and 11’s story for me. Damn I love these two

7:24 This is such a wholesome shot of the two. Kuai Liang quivering with grief and Hanzo standing by his side, hand on shoulder knowing this kind of pain that cursed him before. They look stunning, have amazing voice actors and the incredible chemistry they have after becoming best friends.

It’s heart warming seeing them as best friends. It’s nice twist. Usually people start off as friends then turn enemies. Here, it’s the opposite.

Scorpion: WHAT?! Sub-Zero: Did we just become best friends? Scorpion: Yep!

Cmon only real best friends can assassinate a cyber ninja together

For those who are confused about the recent film : the subzero we see in the film is Noob Saibot ( named Bi-Han ) before he died in hands of Scorpion ... when Bi-Han died and became Noob saibot, his younger brother ( Kuai Liang ) took the mantle of Sub Zero and he is the sub zero we see here and in the other games

I can only imagine the absolute confusion Cyrax had seeing Sub-Zero and Scorpion working together. Last thing he remembers, they wanted to kill each other, and all of a sudden they're old and friends.

Its so badass how Scorpion just took Sektor's fire

They’ve been Enemies for Years until they finally make peace as they realize this was all Quan Chi’s Doing

Never played any MK games before, but when Cyrax said "Please, Don't bring me back as a machine. I can't live like this." I felt his pain.

Keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer... Until they become your best friend.

If you ever feel dumb just remember that Sektor tried to use a flamethrower on scorpion

...and this is how the buddy sitcom "Get Over Here" was made.

From foes to bros. What an iconic duo.

I like how they were trying to sneak in with bright blue and yellow clothings

The perfect bromance doesnt exi-

Reptile: Can I be the third best friend?

"He was your enemy" "He was my equal"

Scorpion and sub-zero have always been my favorite characters to use ever since early snes games. To see that they finally become allies is amazing. I like what they did with character development.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero united would literally be unstoppable

Love when Sub-zero pushes the telescope for Scorpion

Cyrax's farewell is the most underrated moment in mk history. I shed tears on this moment

10:17 I like how he can telekinetically call his spear by his side

I feel so terribly for Cyrax. You can tell his care for the true Lin Kuei and Sub-Zero are unyielding. Seeing him as a slave wounds me. Seeing him go as his humane souls returns wounds deeper. Please restore Cyrax. The Lin Kuei need his Warrior's heart and passion returned.

11:00 scorpion defeating 5 cyber lin kueis in less than 10 seconds is awesome as fuck

That double stab to the back almost felt like a high five between them for doing the double assassination perfectly I feel I could watch a whole series with just these two and I would love it they were the best part of this game

11:00 coolest fight sequence in my opinion

“The forces of darkness will never stop this deadly alliance” Jonny cage: no ✨

Scorpion and Sub Zero use to hate each other so much but now both of them become best friends!

15:41 hey sektor, thanks for the refreshing crossbreeze

Scorpion’s real name is Hanzo Hasashi. The way Sub call him “Hanzo”, his first name proves that they are really close.

Scorpion: Did we just become best friends?? Sub-Zero: Yup! *High five* Scorpion: Do you want to do Karate in the garage? Sub-Zero: YUP!

10:15 The blade of Hanzo: Don't mind me

6:22 best death ever. My man got the honor for get death by scorpion and Sub-Zero at same time.

By my sword, my enemies will face death By my shield, my kingdom will be protected With my armor, I stand for my people With my life, I die for those that I love.

Scorpion went from "My family and clan" to "We'll avenge your clan"

I love the scene where Sektor uses his flamethrower and Scorpion is like "bitch please fire doesn't hurt me"

15:46 “Sektor used Flamethrower” Scorpion: Dude, I literally came from hell and back. And I pop in and out of, and through hell as my main transportation. Did you really think that fire is going to do *ANYTHING* to me?

5:29 I live for Kuai's smol smile here Edit: And for Hanzo's persistent look of disdain

BFFs forever! They gonna wear those friendship bracelets and wear the ring of the friendship club.

5:04 If you've been here long enough you know this channel was originally a Mortal Kombat channel and the name came from Scorpion and Sub Zero. Nice little throwback right there.

5:26 Hanzo: you're getting older OLD MAN Kuai Liang: I can recognize my BRO footsteps

For someone who doesn't know enough lore to make the tea party compelling, is when the Shirai Ryu founder Takeda left the Lin Kuei and went back to Japan he later died from tea poisoning years later, it wasn't confirmed if it was Lin Kuei who assassinated him but because of this, animosity between the clans grew. So Hanzo being wary of Kuai Liang's tea actually made more sense being the leader of the clan it would be risky to accept tea from your rival clans leader, the same clan who "poisoned" your clans founder.

10:16 scorpion's kunai is just floating in the air

One of the greatest and well know rivalries turned into a great brotherhood bond

i love how scorpion absolutely decimates the cyber lin kuei and then says to sub zero "hurry before we face more cyber lin kuei" like he even broke a sweat

The most wholesome friendship Lmao did Sektor really use flame to attack Scorpion?

Well , this subzero was bi-hans brother if i m not wrong , he was never a bad guy.

You never know how much you can love your fellow man once you have hated him, fought with him, killed with him. For once a man shows you all his darkness, all that can be left to discover is his light. Edit: Also turning your enemy into your friend is just a chad move.

I love how Hanzo just TANKED Sektor's flamethrower

This whole story and bonding between them genuinely brings me tears of happiness every time.

13:15 I really like this line and Hanzo walking into frame as he says this, showing who his true brother is

10:57 holy shit that was one of the most badass fight sequences

“Did we just become best friends ?!? “ “Wanna go do karate in the garage?! “

Sub Zero vs Frost: Master vs fallen pupil Scorpion vs Frost: Yet again the arrogant pupil gets schooled again by Grandmaster Hasashi Sub Zero vs Cyrax: Grandmaster saving his friend Scorpion vs Cyrax: Hanzo wants to free Cyrax from being a slave like he was. Sub Zero vs Noob Saibot: Brother against Brother Scorpion vs Noob Saibot: The OG rivalry Sub Zero vs Sektor: Battle for the title of Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei Scorpion vs Sketor: The bloodbath rivalry ends here.

Sub zero and scorpion become friends and become brothers to the end

Friendship.. this made my heart warm when I saw this. Good on you MK for sealing up an undeeded rivalry..

the happiness I had playing this game and seeing this friendship blossom.

these two together might be the deadliest combo

Love the way Sub-Zero points to the tea, as a friendly gesture.

The MK11 graphics are so good, I almost forget the characters aren't actual real life people sometimes lol. Totally have a crush on Sub-Zero, Fujin and Rain.

Mortal kombat 11: we share blood but we are not brothers Mortal kombat 1: we are not share blood but we are brothers

10:18 scorpion performs a magic trick with his spear blade

I feel like Sub-Zero and Scorpion are MK’s most popular characters and they really deserved to make peace with each other like this.

I also really love the sidelong glance Hanzo gives Kuai Liang as soon as he realizes where KL is going with the “kidnapped warriors”, and then moving directly next to him for “I can see why you need me”, like he’s saying “I know what you’re going through and I’m here to help so you don’t lose it like I did.” :)

Sektor : **throw fires on Scorpion** Scorpion: your flames are afraid of me Sektor and not foolish enough to try and burn me down.

They truly are the *MOST ICONIC DUO*

9:03 dayum sub zero, u got mad bars there

3:46 "Help me, Sektor! You're my only hope!"

Scorpion and Sub-Zero's bond is amazing, rivalry and friendship at the same time.

9:03 Sub zero: "I gave you a home, i was your mentor. Yet after all this, you allied with sektor?" Me: nice poem

4:53 the most epic moment in Mortal Kombat history

Finally became friends after realizing they were played from the beginning.

The most iconic rivals turns into the most iconic friend duo.

These guys have 100% chemistry, they can hate and love each other but damn! They look good together and become stronger in fighting their common enemies.

Who ever thought they should BOTH look like Chuck Norris is genius.

It surprises me how good the plot of a fighting game can be when it is made with love. This storyline after so many games of ScorpionVsSubZero is SO powerful

The voice acting in MK11 is just so clean. I could listen to Sub Zero read me a bedtime story every night.

6:09 love how sub zero just push his face lightly to look at the other side 😂

And that friendship never ends!

The way Cyrax said “ Goodbye,Kuai Liang” make my heart shattered into pieces :( cyrax deserve better

From cruel rivals to wonderful bestfriends, a major plot twist indeed 😌😌

Scorpion literally being a tsundere in MKX is adorable. MKX's Scorpion to Sub-Zero: I will have your head. MK11's Scorpion to Sub-Zero: I can see why *you need me*.

10:56 this is one of Scorpion's coolest scenes

Kuai Liang: “This is for Hanzo.” D’vorah: “Scorpion was your enemy once.” Kuai Liang: “He was my equal.”

10:16 his spear is the only thing that follows him with honour

Sub-Zero : I recognize your footsteps, Hanzo Me : Yeah, I mean you two have been fighting for decades

The game that started as "We have blood" ends up having the deepest lore and best character development of any fighting game franchise. This timeline be kray. Kronika just being extra.

Sektor: has fire Hanzo: I'm thirsty

I like to think that this blue robot in background at 15:22 is cyber subzero

10:15 Can we all just appreciate how hanzo has enough power to hold his weapon without the need for his hands
