Every Kanonical Death in Mortal Kombat | Canon Ball

you know for series all about death mortal combat doesn't mean death but life shuts up raiden for a series all about death there's really aren't that many canonical deaths in the mortal kombat games at least compared to the number one might expect from a series with a reputation like this one this video will discuss all the names character deaths in the main canonical story but i might one day revisit the topic to discuss literally every death in even the non-canon material so let's go back to the beginning and see if we can untangle this yarn ball of a cannon welcome to cannonball backstory deaths nk deception reveals that the elder gods defeated the one being and split its essence to create the realms i'm pretty sure this counts as a death and would thus be the first ever death in the history of the mk universe onaga was poisoned to death by shao khan millennia ago as revealed in deception and no mk wiki it was not 1 000 years ago onaga was not the emperor 9 000 years after khan took idenia speaking of which katana's mk2 story explains that her parents later named jared and sindel were killed and overthrown by shao khan ten thousand years prior the cause of jared's death is all over the place with mk 11 alone claiming three different characters to be responsible either way his soul ends up as part of irmak as revealed by the latter's mk9 ending as i recently addressed on misconceptions mk3 establishes sindel's death as around the same time as jerods but the first specifics we got were when the film adaptation and mk mythologies both made it a suicide mk9 makes this suicide a ritualistic sacrifice and mk11 makes it murdered by quan chi's hand you know my thoughts on these changes by now the great kung lao was beaten to death by goro 500 years before mk1 with the changes made to the series premise in mk2 this was changed to 450 years ago mk1 comic bios reveal that lukang's parents lee and lin kang later changed to liu li and lin are dead and sonia blade's twin brother daniel is dead no further details are given mk mythologies sub-zero the first major death the series gives us is scorpions at the hand of bihan in the backstory of mk1 mythologies depicts this as the classic head rip fatality as payment for bihan's success quantity annihilates the shared idea including harami and satoshi hasashi bihan seemingly kills the four temple guardians including fujin he's alive by mk4 but his armageddon bio claims that gods can reform after death so they seem to have all been killed kwon shi later explodes suggesting he dies too serena is seemingly killed by shinnok but tournament edition reveals she survives her wounds mortal kombat despite the tournament's premise like life the only confirmed death in mk1 actually occurs outside of the tournament mk2's prequel comic reveals that scorpion killed bihan after the tournament mk9 suggests this was done via decapitation the same way behan killed him goro is presumed dead until mk4 reveals he survived and sonia's team from the mk1 prequel comic are presumably killed at some points as they never appear or get mentioned again they are named sparky and jake sparky actually appears in the malibu comics adaptation and is killed in the tournament by kano muscle combat 2. lieutenant steve barron is reduced to bones off-panel in the prequel comic molina's umk-3 bio states that she was killed by katana during mk2 for his return in mk gold baraka has giant staples in his body which many theorized to mean he was slicing two by kung lao in mk2 and that's why he wasn't in mk3 until its third iteration shao khan turns to stone and explodes but this doesn't seem to be canonical if shaolin monks was intended to replace mk2 in the cannon as armageddon seems to suggest then we have a lot more deaths here the two monks stab out jade's eyes with molina's psy snap reptile's neck make baraka explode drop scorpion into netherrealm lava get irma crushed under massive rocks snap shang tsung's neck turken taro lim from lim and shatter shao khan after raiden turns him to stone also johnny cage kicks goro so hard in the gut that he dies and jax gets kano flayed alive by something in khan's arena mortal kombat 3 we learn that johnny cage has died there's always been some ambiguity surrounding his exact involvement in the mk3 series which i discussed in the previous episode and then mk9 finally explains how he died being impaled with a spear by moltaro kano is claimed to have been killed by sonja in her mk4 ending but kano's deadly alliance conquest mode reveals this not to be the case as motaro saved him however this mode also reveals that motaro was killed by shiva who then formed an alliance with kano to overthrow shao khan only for kino to betray her and signal counter runner through with the sword shao khan explodes but this doesn't seem to be canonical mortal kombat 4 the fire earth and water gods are all killed prior to the game by shin ox forces shinnok is claimed to be dead by sonia in her ending but this was never really confirmed and mkx reveals that elder gods can't die period but mk11 both maintains and contradicts this mortal kombat deadly alliance sektor's tournament edition bio states that he overthrew the linguai grand master liu kang has his neck broken and is soul taken by shang tsung shao khan is likewise killed by the two sorcerers until deception reveals he had used a body double goro is stated to have been killed by an assassin in katana's bio later revealed to be noob cybot in tournament edition only for deception to retcon this and have him survive mavado's conquest mode heavily implies that he kills cabal but this turns out not to be the case in deception frost seems to die in her ending which deception confirms but she's revealed alive and unchained most of the heroes die in the battle with the alliance and the tarkatans johnny cage sonia blade jax kung lao and katana raiden then blows himself up along with the two sorcerers in a bid to kill onaga but fails quan chi is later confirmed to have survived via teleportation in shang tsung's armageddon bio mortal kombat deception cabal is revealed to have murdered mavado and taken his hook sold back shujinko kills ornaga in his ending which is made canonical by armageddon and since onaga is possessing reptile's body at the time is a safe bet that he dies as well mortal kombat armageddon daegon at some point killed his parents argus and delia but they reveal the lyme in some endings the canonicity there is unclear especially with mk9's retcons despite the massive battle the story revolves around the only definitive fighter death in armageddon itself is blaze other characters take grievous wounds in the intro but many aspects of it don't line up with the character allegiances and stories plus those characters do still have endings where they win making survival possible but mk9 killed off everyone but raiden and shao khan with some being brand new deaths and others just confirming the lethality of wounds from that intro here is a comprehensive list of what appear to be lethal wounds li mei is impaled on hotaru's naginata striker is lasered in the chest by kano shiva is hit by nightwolves arrow and run through with kenshi's sword kenshi has run through with quonchi's sword and stomped on by shang tsung shang tsung dies with lukang's hooks in his shoulders but the specific cause of death is unclear johnny cage's head is torn off sonia blade is torn in two jacks is impaled on a spear noob cybot and sindel are both impaled with swords i theorised noobs to be one of scorpions scorpion is impaled on sub-zero's kodi blade sub-zero is run through by baraka's right arm blade baraka has his left arm severed while the blade is still in subzero's back and his upper body is split in two by kung lao's hats yeah i'm not sure why he appears to have two right arms either kung lao is crushed under shinnok's giant skeleton hands blaze is killed by taven clearly but mk9 changes this to shao khan but mk11's retcon suggests these could be two different versions of events and you can see why i hate that revelation so much raiden has his skull caved in by shao khan's wrath hammer mortal kombat 2011. here the second timeline begins and things become easier to track thanks to the cinematic story modes depicting pretty much everything bihan is killed during the tournament by scorpion via immolation when mkx flashes back to these events we learn a shaolin master named wen was killed in the tarkat and attack on the wushi academy kung lao's neck is broken by shao khan in the outward tournament motaro is smashed through a bridge by raiden during the invasion changsung soul is taken by khan and used to empower sindel noob's sidebot is launched into the solenado by nightwolf and seems to die but he claims otherwise in mk11 but then he also claims to not lose when the exact opposite is true so sindel stomps on kabal's chest punches striker in the face crushes cyber subzero's chest cavity with a single punch stabs jackson the throat with her high heel breaks smoke's neck rips out jade's heart and drains katana's life force before nightwolf uses powerful magic to kill himself and her liu kang is accidentally killed by raiden's lightning mk11 claims this happens in every timeline but mk11 can get stuffed shao khan is exploded by the elder gods for his defiance and it's finally canonical this time sony's ending has the ghost of her father major hermann blade appear suggesting he'd die between the tournament and now sexor's ending depicts him once again slaying the grand master to usurp control of the link way mortal kombat x the fire earth and water gods are again suggested to be killed prior to the game by shinox forces devorah impales baraka's head with her stingers during the time skip mortal kombat x comic sun takahashi is shot dead by a red dragon assassin sue house skull is caved in by scorpion in the opening pages forrest fox is split in two with the sword by takada coastal quetz's head is caved in by goro with shao khan's wrath hammer kotal khan returns the favor by crushing king gorbach's skull with his bare hands mavado's stomach is sliced open by cassie cage with his own hook swords all of sonia's squad bar herself and johnny are killed in the battle with the shokan with two being named pierce is turning two off panel and sean is split in two with a giant axe tremor is shot in the back by sonia and seems to die from it havoc shoves her hand into hanzo's gut and i'm pretty sure it kills him scarlett's legs are exploded by molina which she claims won't kill her but kozil says in mk11 that she is dead by then so she may have overestimated her own healing ability reiko is melted by blood magic as part of havoc's scheme hanzo kills his inner scorpion which technically counts even if it's just a metaphor kintaro's head is torn off by the possessed sonja havok's seven head is crushed on the foot by quan chi an mk 11 writer has said he survives this but that's stupid moloch is decapitated by katana drama is reduced to a skeleton by quan chi sector is decapitated by sub-zero cyrax blows up the cyber factory and dies in the process mortal kombat x again devorah gives molina a kiss of death to have bugs devour her flesh quan chi is decapitated by scorpion boricho is beaten and blasted by shinnok and disappears after he stops moving seemingly suggesting he died some pre-fight intros in xn11 make claims of character deaths but i'll leave out the ones that clearly don't fit with the story mode canon like shang tsung killing irmak aaron black claims to have killed cobra mortal kombat 11. the crypt is non-canon as proven by kano's death not lining up with either timeline and do not get me started on the many timelines in between vera breaks dies of unknown causes between mkx and 11. in an intro devorah claims pharah and torah dead possibly by her hand goro is said to have been killed by kotel as per the second season of the mkx comic that was never made numerous molina and rain intros claim tanya is dead by coastal's hand but molina's presence is non-canon so the same might apply to tanya's fate too sonia dies when she detonates the explosives to destroy shannon spire dark raiden is erased from reality which i'd say count but i don't consider the later time reversal as one garrus dies a number of times but he comes back so quickly that it's not even worth being specific past cyrax seems to die in the same way he did in the comic but one intro claims otherwise the elder gods are wiped out by the time merger i think johnny says his dad was an [ __ ] seemingly suggesting that robert carlton has died since the first tournament kano detonates past sector to destroy the sf base sonia shoots pasquano in the head resulting in present kano being erased dvorah stabs hanzo in the chest with the poison stinger and he dies soon after cetrione gives her soul to cronica to power her up fire god liu kang burns kronecker to crystal and shatters her mortal kombat 11 aftermath revenant nightwolf soul is taken by shang tsung twindel kill shiva apparently garrosh's skull is caved in with the wrath of khan khan or twindell throws past kung lao into the sea of blood presumably drowning him kotal khan is decapitated shang tsung probably kills nightwolf despite having their souls taken raiden and fujin survive cetrione gives her soul to chronica to power her up again twindell impales revenant katana and jade on her quan dao revenant kung lao has his neck broken by shang tsung shang tsung takes shao khan twindell and kronecker's souls either fire god yukang reduces shangsung to dust or the sorcerer takes his soul and that is i believe every notable death in the main mk cannon for the final tally i'm not including anyone who wasn't in armageddon's intro because there's no real proof they took part in the battle i may have missed some and there'll be a pin comment about that if so if you liked this video why not subscribe and support me on patreon like these fine people here if not then make sure to share it with your enemies so they can suffer along with you today's recommended video is muscle combat fatalities that are now brutalities by deathmute i was gonna go for one of those three-hour compilations of every finisher ever but they've all got cringy intros that go on forever and this is more interesting anyway
