Character bios and lore pages from the official Midway website for Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub-Zero, accessed through the wayback machine. I think this is really important and fascinating information that deserves to be preserved. The detailed character and more info here is great to have

Bi-Han: Hello, I am one of Tomas’ emergency contacts.

Receptionist: Excellent, are you here to collect him?

Bi-Han: I am here to remove myself as his emergency contact.

Kuai-Liang: 13 year old me would be both terrified and in awe at who I am now

Tomas: 13 year old me wouldn’t think I’d get this far.

Bi-Han: I would fight 13 year old me.

About Grandmaster Harumi Shirai:

Ok, so, Harumi is Head of her Clan. She has a clan.

Which ultimately means her help was requested by Kuai not only because they are long-time besties but also because she has actual clan leading experience!

Cause like, Kuai is the Grandmaster's son, but we can assume only Bi-Han was trained to be a Grandmaster. Older son and all.

So even though Kuai is a natural leader, he has no actual clue on how to assemble or even lead a clan! Which gives this scene:

A whole other meaning cause it's not that "it's hard to find initiates" in a way that they don't find anyone who really fits.

These two morons just don't have the SLIGHTEST IDEA on how to pick their initiates!

And their expressions are just so perfect cause Kuai is just "We are so dead!" And Tomas is like, "is that supposed to happen???"

And then there's Harumi!

She is the leader of her clan, which means, much like Bi-Han, she was trained! She knows how to pick students, so for once, she knows how hard that task is, which explains why she looks more apologetic than frustrated!

Which probably extends to the whole experience, cause Kuai came to her saying he needed to assemble a clan ASAP, "teach me yo-yo man" style, cause he might have just promised a god he would build him a whole ass clan to defend the entire realm!

I can only picture Harumi going:

Harumi: Oh, baby... no. Just no.

I can also imagine them bringing her students she can tell from a glance are unfit, like

Kuai: So this is--

Harumi: No.

Tomas: But you didn't even--

Harumi: Hard. Pass.

Which really makes me wonder how that went with Hanzo. He was their first successful initiate, so imagine he was also the first one to actually have Harumi's blessing!

Tomas: So this is Hanzo, I found him on the woods!

Harumi, without missing a beat: He's perfect.

On other notes, Tomas also implies the Shirai Ryu was built on Harumi's lands. So, like... did she just say they could use her backyard?

Or her family's lands extended beyond her clan's location, and she was kind enough to give it to Kuai?

Did she make them neighbours? IS SHE THEIR LANDLORD??? (Do they pay her rent??) @mikka-minns 👀

Also, imagine Bi-Han hearing Kuai and Tomas were about to make a clan of their own and he mocks them (as he also knows this is not a simple task and they have 0 clue on how to perform it) and them Harumi goes:

Harumi: Oh, you wanna bet?? I'm gonna make Grandmasters out of these morons. Just wait and see! Cause they might be clueless, but they have heart!😤🫶

Kuai:

Tomas:

Translation: I'm confused. Are you a fan or hater?

Man, Harumi being Kuai's guide makes so much sense and has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! It's amazing and potentially hilarious and just SO FREAKING AWESOME!!

The more I realise things about Harumi, the more I'm glad I fell in love with her!🩷🩷

For the Shirai Ryu Bi-Han au, after fighting Kuai Liang in the tournament (they were interrupted b4 they could finish the fight)

@andybeanblog this one's for you

Bi-Han, shaking: It's not true, it can't be, it's a trick

Hanzo, confused: What are you talking about? What isn't true? Why did you freeze up like that?

Bi-Han: He's dead, I saw his mask- I......he's dead

Hanzo, realization dawning: Oh shit

Bi-Han: He's dead

Hanzo: We never found a body

Bi-Han: Of course we never found a body, Hanzo! He burned alive there was nothing left to find!!!

Hanzo: And yet everytime I burn someone alive, we get their bones. It's hard to turn someone into ash, even when you are trying.

Bi-Han: So?

Hanzo: So what if that was the trick? What if your brother never died?

Bi-Han:...........

Bi-Han: Then that means I left him. I abandoned him.

Hanzo: You weren't given much of a choice, we both know that

Bi-Han, crying: He won't ever forgive me

Hanzo: You're his brother. He'll try.

Meanwhile....

Tomáš: Who was that guy? He looked....he looked like you

Kuai Liang, who was told his brother died on that mission all those years ago and now barely remembers him: I don't know
