Let's hope not. I mean, if they got into a fight over who used the bathroom first when they were young, how ugly would that have gotten?

I dunno, it may be coincidence, the MK game was originally going to be based off the movie blood sport.

Very interesting...

But I doubt it. We probably would have heard something about it if he did. After all, the oldest son would probably have the most importance.

But Goro did have a son; remember, in Kung Lao's MKGold ending Goro says that if the original Kung Lao had won, it may have been his (Goro's) own son seeking to settle differences with him (Kung Senior).

I had been thinking about that, it doesn't actually mean that Goro had a son. Remember, he did have 7 wives. But how do Shokan procreate? They probably hatch out of eggs, right?

Goro probably has tons of unborn children in eggs, that would never hatch until he is dead. I don't think they would want 3 generations of Shokan running around, when their species would probably kill their parents/grandparents to lay claim to the throne.

Just my 2 cents.

Why would they hatch from eggs? They seem to be mammals; aside from height, and the number of arms, fingers, and toes, Shokan aren't much different from humans. Also, look at the MK2 comic; Goro's father is in it, and he's still alive.

Well, Shokan are half-human half-dragon. Also, I know Goro's father (Gorbak) and mother (Mai) are alive, that's why I said they wouldn't want 3 generations running around :)

There is nothing in-game that suggests how they are born though, I would just guess that they come from eggs because of the half-dragon thing.

But if Goro and Gorbak were alive at the same time, then why wouldn't the eggs of Goro's children hatch after Gorbak died, instead of Goro? And how would the eggs know if either of them died? Also, I don't think there would be any more problem with three generations of royal Shokans than there would be with royal humans. After all, Goro showed quite a bit of nobility and virtue by allying with Kitana and leading his people to battle against Shao Kahn. So I wouldn't imagine the Shokan to be any more bloodthirsty or power-hungry than humans...not that that's saying much.

Good point, but I thought of Goro's sudden nobility as being rather out-of-character, if not for him than for the Shokan race. It might have something to do with Shao Kahn's being out of power at the time, his 'true' self finally came out.

My theory is, the reason why Goro and Gorbak are both alive, is because the King needs to teach his son, how to be a King. For Goro to have a son while being a prince is probably something they wouldn't do.

I know the eggs wouldn't "know" when to hatch, but don't you think the Shokan women would have to do something in order to hatch them?

And since in MKDA, dragon eggs can be incubated for hundreds and hundreds of years, I don't think it's stretching it too much to say that the true would be the same of Shokan eggs.

Anyway, we're both probably looking way too deep into the storyline. It's just speculation at this point. Fun to speculate, though.

Just remember that in the MK1 Instruction Booklet, it never mentions that Goro has a son. That's why I'm guessing there are eggs out there, with his kids, that will hatch now that's Goro out of the way.

Very very interesting stuff...possibly Goro's son as a character?

That could be pretty neat if you think about it; playing as a smaller version of Goro.

He had a bro in the one movie... with the 3-D fights in it... it was mostly a cartoon, also a 3-d thing? What was it called? W.e

This may have already been asked to death, but how are Goro, Kintaro and Sheeva related, besides being of the same species? Are they cousins, sister, brothers?

It's never been said how they are related, or even if they are related at all beyond species. Some have said Sheeva was one of Goro's wives (and I could have sworn I saw that in her bio on an arcade machine back in '95) but there's no solid evidence to back this up. As for Kintaro, all we know is (from the MK2 official comic) that he was recommended to Shao Kahn by Goro's father, Gorbak. So Goro and Kintaro may have been friends, or allies, or something.
