if u go thru i think shangs or quan chi konquest u'll see it says that shao kahn was defeated never killed. i havn't yet seen in the konquest were it actually states shao kahn is 'dead'. it says defeated which doesn't mean dead. well it says that in the PAL ver anyway.

It mentions that Kahn is in a weakened state.. we can assume this is from his loss in MK3. It also is noted by Kano who was hiding behind a pillar watching the epic battle between the evil dudes that for a while it seemed like Kahn would win. So it was a close fight even tho both sorceres attacked him. I really would have enjoyed watching that fight... damn in fmv too.

I don't believe Kahn has a soul of his own since he is an entity and Immortal that consumes souls. And one other thing. Shao Kahn never died in MK3. He was driven out of Earth realm and back into Outworld, which hasx seperated from other realms that Kahn conquered. And this seperation led to the decreasing of his power, thus being vulnerable and weak. That is why he was able to fall prey to the 2 losers Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. I hated the idea that Kahn died at the hands of 2 lesser villains. As whether he's dead or not isn't sure of. They never showed how the 2 villains knock him off. All they show is blood stains and his mask which could mean 1 of 2 things: either he's officially dead or just recuperated to lick his wounds waiting for a chance to come back

wait if im not mistaken lui kangs soul comes back and poseses some ones body in the end. i forget which characture it was i think maybe drahmin

They said in an interview that Kahn could still be alive. Infact that said it in a way so he could come back, "he isn't going down that easy", or something along those lines. Kahn's alive. He isn't gonna let any fag dragon take his relm, even if it means joinging the mortals to help him do it. Come on wouldn't you guys love to see a Kahn vs Dragon King battle, that would be kick ass.

ok to correct my last post lui kangs soul poseses kanos body in the ending of quan chi. so i guess hes not dead

OK I will try to explain this very carefully.
Liu Kang's soul takes over the body of Kano. So I would anticipate we will see this fact in MK6
Additionally I read in this thread that Shao Kahn had came back in MK4 using the body of Reiko.
This is wrong.
Reiko and Shao Kahn are 2 seperate people.
Reiko is in the brotherhood of the shadow. So was Noob Saibot.
The brotherhood of the shadow are the loyal servants of the fallen elder god Shinnok.
Shao Kahn is loyal to Shinnok.
Reiko and Noob are loyal to Shinnok.
In MKDA we see a the helmet that Kahn wears fall to the ground. We do not see him die.
Shinnok is not dead.
Shao Kahn is not dead.
However Reiko is very much dead. How did he die you ask?
Well my fellow gamers, he died by posing as Shao Kahn in order to trick Chi and Shang into thinking they were killing the real Shao Kahn.
Reiko was a Kahn decoy. (and everybody thought Reiko's ending in MK4 was meaningless........LMAO)

You watch....we will see a new alliance in MK6
The 2 bosses in MKDA are Chi and Tsung....
The 2 bosses in MK6 will be Kahn and Shinnok.
Having used Reiko to trick them into thinking they had killed Kahn.
I would also anticipate that Noob will make an appearance.
The next MK game will revolve around the brotherhood of the shadow and their attempt to overtake the earth.

Kahn is loyal to Shinnok.. where did you get that idea from? Its not stated anywhere in the Mortal Kombat story line that Kahn is loyal to Shinnok. In fact I would assume the opposite since Noob Saibot was sent by Shinnok to spy on the previous mk's. Why would he need to spy if he could just go "hey Kahn whats happening?" Since they are buddy buddy in your little world.

Yeah, we should follow the story of the games, and not the one of the movies.

The Dragon King will be a much better boss than Shao Kahn ever was.

damn i never thought of it like that.with reiko posing as shao kahn.either way it goes i doubt shao kahn is dead. cause that koffin in the krypt.it was there for a reason.

The brother hood of the shadow but it could allso be based on the dragon king and a a very beaten shao khan if he is alive but to say he is alive is to only assume he may be dead or he may not but any way it doesnt matter to much just as long as smoke or noob comes back thats alll that matters.

Silver? You don't know that for sure until we fight against him, hopefully in the next MK game

Shao kahn is around but doubt he'll appear in mk6. But we can be sure to see the dragon king. Kahn might return as a sub boss though who knows?

Sub boos i think not but let not froget drahmin has a new form as well for killing quan chi but will he change in the next kombat or will he be there at all that you must ask your self is the qeustion and with the dragon king one would think he may be the last boss and this evolved drahmin may be the suboss but hey you never know until its to latee btu for you shoa khan fans im sure he may be alive or dead one or the other

that's a farking interesting idea. you should send that to midway or something, i think it should be used. it sure would explain a lot, like reiko's helmet and plus the fact that shao khan can so easily "die" in alliance when he can easily come back after turning to stone and exploding or having beams of light shoot out of him and exploding

Shao Kahn will be brought to live by Sindel, therefore Shao Kahn can never be killed, I think he will return in a totall different improved body.

I saw Shao Kahn described as 'weakened' in one of the text screens, I think it was in relation to Kano regarding his alegiance. It stated something like 'does his loyalty lie with the Deadly Alliance or the weakened Shoa Kahn'.

Either way I don't think we've seen the last of him.

Yes. Kahn was weak at the time when the 2 sorcerers stormed in. He was too vulnerable. That's why they were able to overcome the Emperor, otherwise, If he was at normal strength, the 2 sorcerers could not kill or defeat Shao Kahn in battle.

I believe Kahn will return as a hidden character. NOT a Subboss. He is too good of a villain to be even a subboss.

look it says in plain and simple english that reptile came back and found kahn DEAD on the throne. end of dicusion it doesnt say he found reiko dead and it couldnt be reiko cause his helmet fell of you think they would have noticed it wasnt kahn if his helmet fell off, if not reptile would have when he found him dead. case closed hes finished

I totally agree with this and if Liu Kang can come back and inhabit the body of someone else (Kano). What's stopping Khan from coming back and possibly even somehow being the Dragon King or someone elses body?

cause like liu kang, he is lame and over used
quan chi is a much cooler villian
just like kung lao is a much cooler hero

it's time to move on

What makes you think that reptile has ever seen Kahn without his helmet on before to know what he looked like? I don't recall ever seeing Kahn take his helmet off ever. Reptile only assumed it was Kahn because of the helmet. But nobody knows what he looks like. Reptile probably thought...."OMG! Reiko was Kahn.....I had no idea!!" Not knowing that Reiko and Kahn were 2 different people.

you logic is flawed because reptile knows what rieko looks like (mk4) tooshey

You are absolutely correct!

Well I for one really hope Shinnok is dead and isn ́t brought back. Ever. I hated the bastard. Lamest boss ever in an MK game, in my opinion.

I ́d rather see something new than the old bosses getting recycled over and over again. I hope Shinnok ́s dead. I hope Kahn ́s dead. I hope Tsung ́s dead, too. I wanted Scorpion to kill Quan Chi off as well, but no such luck. At least it seems they ́re going to re-invent him for the next game. Maybe mix him with Drahmin or something. And then there ́s the Dragon King, who ́s probably going to be Reptile ́s new form. I think maybe he ́ll be taking over as final boss from the late Kahn. He had better be a mean, badass final boss.
