I know there are heaps of threads arising on this topic so I thought I'd start one that people could post their ideas and stop the forum from clogging up. People are speculating on why Scorpion is in Shujinko's enemy list. I think I may have found out the link between the two.

First I'll post the Bios

Shujinko
Origin: Earthrealm
Alignment: Good
Favorite fighting style: No preference
Friends: Damashi
Foes: Dragon King, Scorpion
Long before liu kang had won the mortal kombat tournament in earthrealm, shujinko had begun his quest to retrieve the kamidogu for the elder gods. his journey took him to many realms where he met many experience warriors.

Scorpion
Origin: Earthrealm
Alignment: Neutral
Favorite Fighting style: Hapkido
Friends: none
Foes: Quan Chi, Drahmin, Moloch, Sub-zero
In his haste to confront his nemesis, Quan Chi, he was ambushed by two Oni and cast into a powerful soulnado. He would have been torn apart by the souls trapped there had he not escaped into the Void. In this place, he first set eyes on the fabled Elder Gods.


Dmitch has created a thread that shows Damashi.

Damashi is the emissary of the Elder Gods and that they have a quest for Shujinko.

Emissary means a representative.

Maybe when Scorpion meets with the Elder Gods they ask him to complete a quest for them. They ask him to find the kamidogu (speculation believes this it Quan Chi's amulet) for them. Scorpion then becomes Shujinko's enemy as he is his competition in the search for the kamidogu.

These are just my thoughts.
What are your thoughts ?
