Oh, absolutely I'd want him to come back. I want to see him, Dairou, Havik, and (maybe) Darrius fleshed out a whole LOT more. These guys are a hell of a lot more exciting than the wallpaper paste Kombat Kiddies.

If Hotaru's by himself, though, then not so much. His little tiff with Sub and Kenshi in MKD had next to no effort put into it.

I could roll with his alternate costume, but something about his primary isn't something I like very much.

Hotaru is one of my favorite 3D era characters. I think both him and Havik should come back.
I'm probably also in the minority of people who liked Darrius but I'm okay if he doesn't come back.

Sure, I'll take Hotaru! Why not? Have one of his variations be one with his helmet off, like how Reptile loses his mask and Kenshi loses his blindfold.

I would love to see Hotaru return in a role/importance similar to Kotal Kahn's. (almost boss like, but not quite; a neutral tyrant-esque character).

As for dairou and darrius, i dont really care for either, but each has their place in the scheme of things in the orderrealm storyline so i wouldnt mind them returning that much. im indifferent

Personally, I see both Chaos Realm and Order Realm as being completely irrelevant to the story. Other than existing, they haven't really been at all significant to the events of MK...not even in the game they were introduced in.

If these realms DO return, along with their denizens, then I hope they have something important to do.

Hotaru and Havik are cool, wouldn't really want Darrius or especially Dairou though.

I definitely wanna see Hotaru again, along with Havik, Dairou, and Darrius.

I bet Dairou and Darrius never will return except a game that has everyone how MKT / MKA.

Havik has a good chance of returning some point (it is an important and versatile villain). And Hotaru has some chance, but very little. In a way Hotaru means that reflects the Dragon King to order agent (something we have not Shinnok and Shao Kahn). But depending on how take the Dark Raiden would give to align Hotaru to it.

Dairou and Darrius deserve better.

A revamped Hotaru would be fine. As long as Dairou and Darrious dont come back lol. Wasnt a fan of them. That said if they dod come they better be revamped to be awesome.

I want the firefly back as well. Former Noob Saibot is cool too. I wonder if the comic is going to be partially canon or entirely non-canon due to how Havik was treated.
