Well I'm sure it has some significance. Whether it will ever be explained is up to the MK team. I doubt it has to do with any connection to the Red Dragon. I wonder what its significance is anyway. Anybody have any ideas?

I think it's pretty safe to say that this has nothing to do with the Red Dragon. I mean...nothing at all.

That is what i am thinking.

Well Remember the Kano Kenshi Mavado triangle storyline.

Mavado must kill Kenshi to earn the right to fight Kano.

We all know Mavado intent for Kano.

Well I guess that explains everything. Mavado must kill Kenshi, so Kenshi decided to wear a red dragon. RIGHT.

He has an Okinawa symbol on the back of his alt.
Kind of funny considering theres only 3 forms of Okinawa Karate(SHORIN RYU, GOJU-RYU, UECHI RYU), and Kenshi doesnt use any of them.

of course theres branches of them like Shotokahn, Kyokushin, Wado-ryu, etc.

Here is a more complete list in which Okinawan and Japanese styles are mixed: Ashihara, Chinto-Ryu, Chito-Ryu, Doshinkan, Gohaku-Kai, Goju-Ryu (Kanzen), Goju-Ryu (Okinawan), Goju-Ryu (Meibukan), Gosoku-Ryu, Isshin-Ryu, Kenseido, Koei-Kan, Kosho-Ryu Kenpo, Kyokushinkai, Kyu Shin Ryu, Motobu-Ryu, Okinawan Kempo, Okinawa Te, Ryokukai, Ryuken, Ryukyu Kempo, Sanzyu-Ryu , Seido, Seidokan, Seishin-Ryu, Shindo Jinen-Ryu, Shinjimasu, Shinko-Ryu, Shito-Ryu (Itosu-Kai), Shito-Ryu (Seishinkai), Shito-Ryu (Kofukan), Shito-Ryu (Kuniba Ha) , Shito-Ryu (Motobu Ha), Shorin-Ryu (Kobayashi), Shorin-Ryu (Matsubayashi), Shorin-Ryu (Shobayashi), Shorin-Ryu (Matsumura), Shorinji Kempo, Shorinji-Ryu, Shoshin-Ryu, Shotokai, Shotokan, Shotoshinkai, Shudokai, Shuri-Ryu, Shuri-Te, Uechi-Ryu , Wado-Kai, Wado-Ryu, Washin-Ryu, Yoseikan, Yoshukai, Yuishinkan.

That's not what he meant. Why do you always have to be a dick with everyone, why dont you realize that some people might not know about MK as much as you do, so instead of being a jerk try to answer them nice for a change, or dont answer at all. God only knows how you became a warrior.

My guess is, because he thinks dragons are cool. A lot of characters have dragons in some form or another depicted on them; Mavado (on his back), Sub Zero (on the cloth hanging in front of his belt), Cage (tattoo on his back), Nitara (tattoos on her arms and legs, alt costume); probably some more too.

Well Mk series is a heavy dragon laded game and that is why I was thinking it was nothing. It might be some major or nothing concern the storyline.

The Dragon on the slash is a red verison of the Black Dragon symbol that is used by the Black Dragon Ninja Society and the Black Dragon Fighting Society. Also that Symbol is used by The Black Dragon of the MK series.

Jarek's symbol on his jacket is a Dragon Kempo Karate symbol.

In Chinese Mythology, Dragon is the animal of wisdom Respect and Royality.

Martial arts society that were involved with the Emperor with incorpate the Symbol of that Emperor if not the Dragon one.

The Chinese dragon was also heavily associated with water, and was believed to bring rains, ensuring a a bountiful harvest.

Also I noticed something last night when I was playing some random Konquests. See, I usually intentionally fail a lesson before I do the whole thing, because sometimes it will give extra bits of information or other interesting things. So anyway, I was using Hsu Hao, and in one lesson where he practiced wih Kenshi, it says "Kenshi would make an excellent Red Dragon, but you must focus on the task at hand." I'm sure this has nothing to do with the dragon on Kenshi's sash, but I found it to be rather unusual, as most of us tend to think of Kenshi as a good guy.

True.

Kenshi is a Unknown/Netural Fighter and HE hates Shang Tsung with a passion.

With Slash, it might come from a relative of his like a father or a brother and he is carrying it in to battle but he might not know what it might means. Mavado might tell him about the meaning of the Red Dragon of his slash and Mavado might offer Kenshi to help Kill Shang Tsung if he helps him kill Kano.

Somehow I doubt Mavado would want anyone's help in killing Kano; he seems like he has a certain dignity and pride that would lead him to find Kano one on one.

3 things :

I noticed that in the end of the Adema video for "Immortal" the guys that gang up on Scorpion (right Scorp throws his spear) is the band Adema.

Kinda un-important - In the previews for MK:DA (where Scorpion and Quan Chi are battling it out -Me can't remember what arena they were in but its not the Acid Bath preview (the one in the Adema vid) I mean the one where Scorpion fires the spear at Quan Chi and then it cuts to the MK:DA logo n stuff) that when Scorp does the jumping-kick at Quan Chi... Quan does a HUGE backflip like he got hit by a truck carrying 1000 lbs of stone.

I read this one from Mechi's Realm (The annuals of Mortal Kombat) that supposedly in the Adema video (Immortal - where Scorpion and Quan Chi battle it out at the Acid Bath arena) that when Quan Chi fires his green-skull fireball that supposedly you can see Scorpions true form in the reflection of the ball.

We all have to come to a consesses here, the dragon is not a logo that belongs only to the black and red dragons.

There are way too many meanings to list here, but many people, everyday people, have tatoos of dragons for different reasons.

By the way it will be interesting to see in kenshi will make it to mk6, that will be very interesting, I havent thought about it.

In his Konquest, I think it said that Kenshi has Asian and European relations, and is also related to a long line of warrior kings. He might be wearing the dragon symbol as a reminder of his heritage.

I don't know what he meant, and I'm pretty sure not even Jesus knows that. He implied that the red dragon Kenshi wears is somehow related with Mavado's red dragon, which is obviously dead wrong.

Well I say it could be nothing Zentile. Also Read my post at the beginning of the thread.


It could be important or could be nothing.


I was bring something up about Blind Kenshi and his slash. Dont forget in Mavado ending it states other warriors in his clan.

Mavado and Hsu Hao are the two confirmed Red Dragon Members and so there could be other possible members of the Red Dragons.

There probably are other members, but if Quan Chi was impressed by Mavado's discipline and skill, as well as those of other members of the Red Dragon clan, it could simply mean that there were other Red Dragons who helped the Deadly Alliance, excluding Mavado and Hsu Hao. It doesn't mean that Kenshi was a Red Dragon member at one point, especially since his biography depicts him as an arrogant swords' man before he went blind and found out that the souls he released were those of his ancestors. Plus, if he was one of them, wouldn't he be with Mavado and not the Special Forces? Remember that Hsu Hao was later instructed to kill Shang Tsung, so if Kenshi was there, he probably would've been assigned that mission instead of being left for dead.
