I would not be surprised one bit to see The Dragon King as the final boss in Mortal Kombat 7, as well.

Not at this time I don't think. We haven't played the game to see what happens yet since this new theory is now hanging over us.


GD

Now... that I think of it! maybe Mileena & Baraka are the "sinester forces, that hide in the shadow" meaning that they are the ones that are trying to conquer every realm. "using the trust of an ally" meaning using the DK as a power to conquer every realm. "and to take all through DECEPTION" meaning they will help the DK and at the end, they both will betray him and then... they will betray each other. Well may point is that the DK is the final boss and Mileena and Baraka are the ones who are using the power of the DK to get what they want.

Toxik - Exactly what I'm thinking.

what makes them so special though? why not hotaru?
or noob?

kinda like the Mileena and Baraka version of the deadly alliance I guess.

yeah.... because the first thing they show is Mileena vs Baraka fighting and if they are on the evil side... then they must be fighting to gain control of something or to have a better place under the DK's command.

or maybe its shao kahn obsessed with getting revenge on what shang tsung and quan chi did to him, and offered the DK power over the realms if he helped him? but after they are otu of the way, shao kahn will DESTROY the DK and take over his army AND the realms? this is just my guess

ZeroJinKui - What an absolute mindfuck that would be. All this buildup for the Dragon King only to have him taken out by Earthrealm's previously greatest foe.

OMG let's hope not. That is the exact same thing that happened in Deadly Alliance with Quan, Shang, and Shao. Surely the MK team can come up with something more original than rehashing the DA storyline. The last thing I want is for Deception to be DA 2.0 like some people think it will be.

It's not quite the same as Deadly Alliance. There was no question that the Deadly Alliance were firmly in charge. And yeah, they had a lot of people working on their behalf.

It's more like MKII when Shao Kahn is the end boss but Shang Tsung is trying to use Kahn to get to the top.
The theme of underlings trying to overthrow their masters is not a new one, in MK or anywhere else.
Edit: Also, I think Baraka and Mileena will become decorations in the Dragon King's spiky lair if they actually try anything.

Those are some very good observations. And I think it’s possible.

Maybe, the guy we have seen IS NOT the Dragon King, but I’m pretty sure that so far, there is no one greater then the DK, so yeah, he will be the final boss as Boon stated.

(I also think that it IS the dragon king, but you might be correct)

Good observations though. I’m thinking the sub-boss will be a little more shocking and difficult to beat then the DK, thanks to Shinos post.

I have said it before and i'll say it again.... Liu is gunna be the mid boss and Dragin King the final.

Liu Kang has had wayyyyy too mnay "dragon" type references in the past, think about it.

Is the DA a SINGLE Power? No, they are 2. They are Baraka & Mileena a SINGLE Power? No, they are 2. Is Shao Kahn a SINGLE Power? Yes, but in MKDeception, I doubt that he will more powerful than the Dragon King... and Reptile perhaps can be more powerful than the DK, but it's his ally.

I don't know if the DK will be the Final Boss in the MK7, it's a posibility, but I'm 100% that in MKDeception, after beat the Dragon King, we see the ending of the fighter that it has defeated the DK.

And in the MKDA, we see the Final Bosses long before that Moloch, and the MK4 is pure "crap" for enough people of Midway... the DK is in the cover of the MKDeception (not Special Editions) and is the Final Boss and the Main Antagonist (how said John Vogel in an interview).

What if the DK has consumed the body of Reptile, causing him to evolve upto finale evolving stage. Then taken the spirit of the somewhat Dragon King Liu Kang. I mean think about it, Liu Kang has had an animality and finishers all refering to a dragon. would be a deception...also Rayden maybe the ally the Dragon King has.....could be. you never know what Deception lies in our future...

I think that Liu Kang, Shao Kahn, Reptile, and the DK are all separate characters and back to the original topic possibly either Quan Chi, Shinnok, Shang Tsung, or Shao Kahn might be either the sub-boss or main boss!

Thanks everyone, some very good points have been made by all of you. I honestly think that the Dragon King will NOT be the final boss. I think you will reach him, then beat him, and find out you have to fight the character who was 'controlling' him. It will be a good surprise if that is what happens, but obviously can't be sure. The DK may turn out to be the final fight, but to those who said they're 100% sure - are you?

I don't think anyone can be 100% sure about anything...

no, we are 100% sure

something about ed boon telling us that the DK is the boss, not only once

he tells us that a lot, in magazines,interviews,videos he told us that back when mkda was out


its 100% confirmed

its like saying u still have doubts about sub-zero being the one from mk2-mkda

its just stupid

Bezou Wrote: I am one hundred percent certain the Dragon King is the final boss.

Me too

The history of Decepction is a to be disclosed mystery. Not really 100% know.
Nor really 20% of history are known. Only Dragon King and the edenia role.

Facts:
#1 Dragon King was imprisioned in a egg or something like that. Then, it could not free alone. So, SOMEONE freeded him. The main question is, Who??
I dont know. (or maybe more than one).

#2 Mortal Kombat never had a creature shokan or something bizarre as Final Boss, since it has the same creator for the last 12 years and he never did that.

Could it have capacity to organize attacks, to plan tactics of army advance more and all? it seems to be something bizarre.

#3 In the GamePro magazine of October, it appears a great one render of Quan Chi in the center, in one of the pages of the article. hmm.. very strange not??!!

For me there is one last character in the end besides DK. Maybe Quan Chi or Reiko. I think Shao Kahn And Tsung are very distants of this game.
Even Skab(Havik) have a very strangly look. Like someone who is trying to hidding in the shadows.

Does not make sense that they showed DK in footage and gameplay. What is the fine now? I think There is a "shadows hiddinG" like the firts trailer said to resolve =)

When the last dragon born from the egg, the loyal men of the DK killed the dragon, to extract his blood to revive the Dragon King. #2 Mortal Kombat never had a creature shokan or something bizarre as Final Boss, since it has the same creator for the last 12 years and he never did that. -It was already the moment that the final boss was stronger and hard to win that the sub-boss, you don't think the same? #3 In the GamePro magazine of October, it appears a great one render of Quan Chi in the center, in one of the pages of the article. hmm.. very strange not??!! -For nothing. The Deadly Alliance will appear in the intro of MKDeception, revealing that happens with them, which isn't so strange to see render of the MKDA in a magazine. The MKTeam has confirmed several times that the Dragon King will be the final boss, I don't understand as it's your insistence to try to demonstrate the opposite...

It is my premise (and the others who agree) that Midway are deceiving us, if you read my first post again you can see why.

Midway: "Yes lets show the final boss months before the game is released, that makes lots of sense. We absolutely have too show him now in July or no one will buy our game. I mean, how many other game franchises show the final boss before the game comes out? We can be the first!
Who likes surprises anyway? He and his stage are far more intimidating if you've previously seen them, much more so than if you had never seen them before. What ingenious marketing, why didn't we do this with the past MK's?"

And about the Boon quotes stating the DK is the final boss, what better deception is there than making everyone believe the Dk is the final boss then having a surprise at the end?
And speaking of quotes what about the Goro/Motaro one Boon made in April that is in my first post?

-Use some common sense people, please...

Oh and Mister_Satan666, disagree with my theory by all means, I have no problem with that. But calling it stupid is ridiculous, I've made valid points that I believe are proof enough. You don't have to agree, but this theory is far from stupid...

I think they just used the Baraka and Mileena thing in the trailer just to give you an example. I don't think they were specifically saying "Oooh only Baraka and Mileena are going to be extra evil". Thats crap. LMAO I wouldn't be surprised if 95% of the roster had some sort of their own unique deception going on in their stories. Plus, if the Dragon King is not the final boss, I will be serverly pissed. Especially if you have to fight that big ass freaking dragon and then give up all your hype about the end of the game when you see the scrawney little annoying punk ass Liu Kang walk into the arena!!!!

The development team has learned from the mistakes of MK4 and MKDA and made a final boss that will not be playable, and thus can be as super-powered as they want him to me. And that is the Dragon King.
