Yeah.. As soon as he appeared in the comic I knew he was done for.

Not much to say on this chapter, tied up all loose ends and was nicely done. I still wish that Havik and Reiko didn't get shit on but it's whatever. If they want them to be back for next game, they will be. If not, I guess they're gone forever. Oh, and the art was fucking awful. these eyes tho lol

What happens when someone dies in the Netherrealm? Souls can't stop existing. Are they reborn in a different part of the Netherrealm?

Has anyone asked the writers this?

I have a theory behind the blood magik.

Nitara from Deadly Alliance is of course NOT an evil character. She is Neutral like Scorpion or Erron Black. The fact that she's a blood drinking Moroi (motif of the vampire) is because it's her race's primary diet and without it, their race would have died long ago. The main motive that every "MK loreist" should know is that she wants to restore her realm of Vaterrenus. Even though it's a repeated cliché with Tanya and Reptile, it's not an evil motive. Plus her race was nearly exterminated by Shao Kahn so having someone who hates him and his associates with a bloody grudge would be a valuable ally for the good guys. I could see why no Moroi were seen in Shao Kahn's court. They were probably of the most dangerous enemies that Kahn had ever conquered and he might have lost thousands of his men to these bloodsucking vampires. This, in turn probably made Kahn say, "Fuck it. They're better off dead than being in my court, waiting for the moment to sink their fangs in my throat while I'm sleeping." In other words, Kahn and Outworld was scared shitless of the Moroi Empire.

Back to the topic, Nitara would have NEVER given her Blood Magik for free unless Quan Chi made an EXCHANGE with her. In Deadly Alliance, she's no stranger to this when she instructs Cyrax to retrieve the orb that contains Vaterrenus in a lava pit in exchange for opening a portal for Cyrax to return to Earthrealm. SHE KEEPS HER SIDE OF THE BARGAIN. I think we see so many characters make deals and yet backstab constantly so much that it becomes a tired cliché. Here we can have a neutral manipulator who surprisingly keeps their promises.

In order for this deal to work, Quan Chi would have to give Nitara something VALUBLE to persuade her to lend him her Blood Magik. Her dream gift would have of course be Shao Kahn's decapitated head, but that won't work now that Shao Kahn is dead. Maybe Quan Chi does give her the ORB to her realm or a map to the location of the orb within the lava pit. That would have sparked Nitara's interest and made her concede with dealing with Quan Chi even though she knows he's an evil bastard and he'll somewhat fuck with her gift.

Maybe Nitara makes up for her mistakes and uses her necklace that opens portals all over Earthrealm to at least reverse the damage. That might explains why Sub-Zero and Shujinko/monks didn't join the final battle and were unpossessed because Nitara was reversing the blood magik spell hidden in the background. It might also explain the wearing off of the blood magik on the champions in the final battle after Kintaro's head was pulled off. Since Havik being a non-Moroi user didn't know how to undo the control over the champions with the magik, Nitara would have been better knowledgeable at the technique. A non-Moroi using Blood Magik would have fatal results, explaining Reiko's fall.

The only negative thing about this chapter was the art. The netherrealm scenea were great. Anything else was creepy as fuck.

I like how Havik was still talking shit even while facing death.

Quan Chi hiring Havik made sense. He's weak without Shinnok so he couldn't do it himself. Using Reiko probably was his idea too.

Of course using blood to get stronger would have been Nitara's thing. We were tricked with Skarlet's appearance.

I liked the scenes with Jacqui and Cassie. It's the genesis of their badassness.

Nice scene with Kung Jin. The dialogue about his heart felt a bit forced but it was fun to see him blow off Bo Rai Cho.

I hope Cyrax makes it out alive. Then we can see Sub-Zero and Sonya exchanging him and Frost.

Then put Cyrax in MKX and claim he was on a secret mission during.the events of MKX or something.

I don't really see Havik as a mastermind, but more as a smart, yet crazy individual.

It probably went like this...

Quan Chi : "Hey Havik, wanna wreck shit up and help me bring back Shinnok? It's gonna create chaos and stuff"

Havik : "Fuck yeah!"
