Mortal Kombat 1 is bringing back a ton of klassic kombatants. Yet, it's most popular character has yet to show face. I'm talking about the original Scorpion, Hanzo Hasashi. In this video I am taking a look at who and where Hanzo Hasashi might be.

Maybe Liu Kang wants to let Hanzo have a peaceful life and makes him a normal guy. But by doing so, Hanzo becomes vulnerable. He and his family are ultimately killed by Shang Tsung, and in the final moments of his life, Hanzo is filled with so much grieve and wrath that he becomes Noob Saibot. That would be cruel, I know, but also very fitting for the direction I think the game is going.

I could see that, and Lord Lui Kang purifies him and saves his soul but in return keeps the dark shadow powers but is human, and uses them to defend Earthrealm shit would be fire to have both Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Smoke, now Reptile, and then Noob on the same squad.

Hanzo's character has honestly been stuck to the same story beats for the past few decades, something he only recently overcame when he regained his body in MKX and had *actual* development in MK11 (only to be later killed off to set his younger self upon that same heroic path, a rather weak trope if you ask me but we'll not get into that). The mantle of Scorpion is iconic, but his story is what made him Hanzo; the combination of both is what made him so memorable and a fan favorite to many, myself included. But as much as it might resonate with fans, from a writer's perspective it's completely unoriginal and uninspired by this point, especially considering it took them ten whole games to actually do something with him. If he's coming back, he's going to be something new; safe bet that he *will* come back eventually, whether at launch or in later DLC stories, because he's such an important character for a lot of people there's just no good reason for Netherrealm to leave him out. Central to Liu Kang's philosophy in recreating the timeline and reshaping everyone's story is that he gives them all a 'chance' at peace. I believe some things about Hanzo might change, but the core to both his heroism and tragedy is his love for his family: how cathartic would it be for fans to actually see him protecting the very things he lost in his past life?

I have hated almost everything I've seen from this new timeline so far. I never really understood why they insisted on rebooting after Armageddon, only to reboot the reboot after MK11. To me, it's just lazy storytelling. They couldn't figure out where to take the original timeline, so they just start over again and make everything even more nonsensical. I no longer play the newer MK games and stick to the older stuff.

@eonnexus 9 ай бұрын

Personally, I'm a supporter of the theory that Hanzo could be their father. It would mean Kuai was given the mantle directly from Hanzo, and could directly link to him potentially becoming Noob Saibot, as there seems to be an emphasis on the idea that Bi-Han killed their father to become grandmaster here, and we ALL know who Bi-Han's most well known kill is. XD This would in turn mean that the original Takeda never left the Lin Quei to create the Shirai Ryu, likely something Lui Kang had a hand in after seeing the fate of the Shirai Ryu from Scorpions ending. (Plus, i really like the original Smoke and hope that they'll actually develop him more here.)

To anyone that rejects this idea so fiercely for whatever reason, may I ask when in MK history has Reptile been able to fully shapshift into a human form? Or him being an oddity amongst his race for doing so and being driven out? Last I checked, the human state was a disguise that deteriorated the longer away he spent from his race. And what about Mileena and Kitana being blood sisters? Isn't Mileena supposed to be a CLONE? XD Or the Tarkatin being a deadly disease rather than a race? Or the biggest thing in regards to this: the Lin Quei being the Thunder/Fire Gods personal earth realm defense force? Liu Kang has changed A LOT, there's no telling where those changes end, especially since, you know, we don't yet have an explanation as to WHY Kuai Liang is Scorpion in the first place. I doubt they'd just erase Hanzo's existence completely, and while I am partial to the idea that he's living peacefully with his family this time, him being the former grandmaster would add a layer to his relationship with the brothers here while maintaining some familiarity with their previous incarnations. And once again: the Shirai Ryu was a rogue faction of the Lin Quei, if the original Takeda never left, the Shirai Ryu wouldn't be formed. And in that case: who's to say that Hanzo didn't join this new Lin Quei? Especially if they were more like the Shirai Ryu here? We won't know until either Hanzo is revealed or the game releases obviously, and I won't mind if I'm wrong (I'm just invested and want to see where they take this new universe) but it's ignorant to throw aside 1 theory because it doesn't adhere to the the previous timelines cannon despite ALOT of changes not adhering to previous cannon.

@@eonnexus all the changes you mentioned are ok, are not that problematic but Hanzo as Grand master is too much. People thinking Hanzo is Smoke, Grand master or Noob Saibot looks like they want Hanzo to being related to the Lin Kuei brothers, but could be just Hanzo Hasashi or being a new ninja.

My thoughts are 1. He will not be in the time line unless alternate universes are used again. 2. And one I’m hoping for, is that he becomes a part of the Shirai Ryu clan under the mentorship of Kuai Liang and becomes the new Sun Zero as Bi Han slaughters that clan and becomes Noob Saibot. Kuai Liang stays Scorpion and goes rogue while Hanson re vamps the Lin Kuei and is the new Sun Zero. He could also be Bi Hans son that Kuai raises if they decide to add that in there, which would be cool. Thinking about it, he couldn’t be Bi Hans son without his last name,so I’m going with just being one of Kuai Liangs top students, or maybe just a rogue Cryo Mancer he recruits who was on a destructive path, but then trains him to hone is abilities, teaches him about the history of the LK and SR, then proceeds to take the mantle after the above mentioned takes place.

Changing all the theories from the original stories of Smoke, Scorpion an Sub-Zero (Bi-han & Kuai Liang) imho will kill the vibe. Not mentioning my childhood. 🤣Speaking as a MK player since Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1

4:34 Hanzo Hasashi kinda already appeared in Invasion Chapter 1 But it's not the M1K Hanzo It's the MK11's Hanzo Spectre Scorpion that Time Hooped in the M1K's Time Line Ps: And i think he will be mentioned/appear in Scorpion's Mirror Matchs too

I am hoping that he just comes in as Hanzo Hazashi, Shirai Ryu ninja and a defender of earthrealm. Unfortunately he would not have the hellfire as that comes from being a wraith from hell and they would need to give him a different fighting style compared to the new Scorpion.

@theonewhowrotethis5681 10 ай бұрын

If he's not Takeda (I too thought of Mythologies), I think he's going to be absent from this game. From what I can tell from the roster so far (and based on supposed leaks), we might also not see Jax as a playable fighter (he's only a Kameo so far). As such, it's possible that they're holding off on some series mainstays for this new entry to give others some time to shine. Hanzo only missed out on Vanilla MK3 (was added in UMK3) while Jax only missed out on '92 and Deception (was added in Unchained). That being said, not having Hanzo or Jax would suck.

I'm curious if we'll see Hanzo at all. I would've liked it if Kuai and Hanzo were brothers instead. But I also like Bi-Han, I just hope they don't make him generically evil and let him be more of a true neutral guy looking out for himself, at the very least, or an anti-hero. We still don't know if Smoke is still Tomas or nat.

Knowing that Liu Kang is the one responsible for all these changes, I wouldn’t be surprised if he just let Hanzo have a normal peaceful life with his family rather then having him go through another tragedy

As i know in Invasion mode, Hanzo was keep seeing his wife being fatality doll, until actual timeline where she marries Kuai Liang and he seeks for revenge cuz if he cant have her then no one can. Idk if its canon or Invasion mode is again different timeline but . . . well, theres a chance.

@Lx.nar. 10 ай бұрын

best bet with hanzo being in mk1 is if he was reinroduced as a completely new character . other than that i really cant see any other way that he can be in this game but just a normal dude with his family.

Theory: Hanzo and his wife were killed by the Lin Kuie . Their son Satoshi was taken by them and became Smoke. Hanzo full of rags was taken to Netherealm and either becomes Noob or a new Undead character

If Hanzo isn't in the game (deleted as a character for example) im skipping out on it. Im not protesting, it's just not for me. If Hanzo becomes a new character, then he'll be my main. ill get the game then. Scorpion's moves caught my attention as a kid but his bios, endings, and his identity (revealed in Mythologies Sub-Zero) are what kept me around.

@JoeyXSmith 10 ай бұрын

But what if the special moves are completely different, though? He is not Scorpion anymore. Everyone' backstory has changed. I'm skipping this game for different reasons.

@EnigmaticVayne 10 ай бұрын

@@JoeyXSmith everyone's backstory is different to an extent, but they are mostly the same person. Tanya might be loyal so that's different. But Hanzo is the only one losing his identity to another character. I hope Hanzo becomes a new character because I don't want him to be forgotten. I'm past the fact his special moves will be different. That won't bother me

Maybe lou kang just made liang and hanzo as one as it would make sense since the scorpion from mk1 is bi hans brother but unlike others from his clan he has the hell fire abilities of hanzo so may be Kang thought it would be the best outcome and need for the current mk world.

Thinking bi Han probably already killed Hanzo. - Kuai Liang will be forced to kill Bi Han and take up the mantle of Sub Zero -Hanzo will come back as a demon warrior after Sub Zero. -Bi Han will come back for revenge against Kuai Liang. But I’m very interested in King Lao

I've played MK games since the first one. Story wise, MK 9 and MK 10 were the best. The first reboot clarified a lot of things, there were too many contradictions within the lore. Liu Kang becoming the Emperor of the Netherealm, Hanzo and Kuai Liang becoming friends and Johnny becoming the star of the show was my favourite moment ever. This MK1 story mode became so f*cked up... Shirai Ryu and Hanzo: no more (you idi*ts he was the favourite character of the franchise...) Johnny becoming young again... Kuai becoming Scorpion... The coolest Outworld ruler, Kotal Khan, no more... Bi-Han being Sub again (I hate him) Removing Shang Tsung coolest face: rip Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa Erasing completely the 4 youngsters from MKX : Cassie, Takeda (his DLC doesn't count), Jackie and Kung Jin... It's over for me, I won't ever buy another one. Go to h*ll.

I actually understand why thy did this "The scorpion mantle" was something hanzo never wanted and lord lu kang knew this so he sent him on his on own path wit his family together as just simple farmers away from all this crazy cuz he did his time 2x over already so he maybe kept a promise tht he would never lift a blade again as a retirement agreement.
