*Spoilers* Kung Laos Ending

[MileenaStryker]

In his ending, it says that Kung Lao is the reincarnate of the Great Kung Lao, not that its a big deal, but how can that be

The Great Kung Lao was killed by Goro, who's soul was then taken by Shang Tsung, if his soul was taken, then Kung Lao now would not have been the Great Kung Lao

Not that it really matters but you have to defeat Shang to get to Kahn...So that being said... After Shang is defeated the souls he held would be released.The way i look at it anyways.

The souls are going to be released in the first batch of DLC.

I need to get outside? Aren't you on these boards looking at questions and discussing things on the same level?

Also, anyone who has played Mortal Kombat should know the story of Kung Lao and how he was defeated by Goro and his soul was trapped, its as basic as knowing Scorpion is dead

As for the other posts, Shang Tsung was not defeated until after Kung Lao had already been born, so his soul was never free for him to be born again

Like I said, not that it really matters since most MK endings don't really fit in with the story, but that was noticeable enough

What if Shang Tsung takes their essence on a physical level and that is why he gets their abilities and gains power from them. And he calls it their souls to make it more ominous and scary, aka a fear factor. And in reality when his essence was absorbed his soul was still set free.

Or, what if it took him 500 years to reincarnate because he had to wait for the right moment in one of Shang Tsung's experiments.

But it could also just be a NRS oversight.

Its really possible since Kung Lao is dead and Shang Tsung gave ALL his powers to Sindel. Then Sindel was killed by Nightwolf thus freeing all the powers and souls she had, which one of them were The Great Kung Lao. Then it kan go to the body of Kung Lao. Thats really possible.
