The iconic ninja of Mortal Kombat does not need introduction. The success of the last Mortal Kombat game does nothing more than enhance the popularity of its roster. After a year from the release of Mortal Kombat 11, a lot of new characters and the approaching of the second DLC pack, Scorpion is stronger than ever before.
That name no longer has any meaning to me…
Everybody knows the story of Hanzo Hasashi: chief of the ninja clan Shirai Ryu, he was assassinated by Bi-Han (the first Sub-Zero) before the first Tournament. After been resurrected in the Netherrealm, Scorpion returns to Earthrealm, finding out the death of his beloved family and clan. Since then the ninja specter took a path of vengeance.
Even if the rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero has been scaled over the years, actually collaborating in the last chapter of the game. The two ninja will represent forever two different sides of the same coin (or in this case, of the same medallion).
Vengeance will be mine!
The loyal travel companions of Scorpion are his katana Mugai Ryu and his world famous kunai. The name of the Hasashi’s katana come by a real ancient iaido/kenjutsu school from the Shiga Prefecture in Japan. His kunai instead is a variation of the ninja weapon kyoketsu-shoge: a chain attached to a double-edged blade with another curved blade attached near the hilt. Needless to mention his slashing ninjutsu fighting style, unlocked thanks to the combos. Here below an example from Mortal Kombat 11.
Waiting to see more challengers soon… Stay over there during the pandemic and take advantage of the situation trying some fatalities.
