Honestly, the concept of Goro and Kintaro is pretty good as Goro is represented as the dragons while Kintaro and his people are represented as a tiger as they are seen as natural enemies or rivals in Chinese mythos. I don't see enough people talk about this enough.

Personally, I feel he's been misrepresented since he debut in MK2. His Kabal orgin was fine, but it should've been Motaro. I don't think he has much to offer in the NEW time-line, but I wouldn't mind playing as him if he were DLC. I'd rather FIGHT him though as a boss. He was SO hard, yet awesome to battle during my childhood. I want that THRILL again you get when you ACTUALLY defeat him. 😉👍

Used to see Kintaro as Goro's copy, but with what they fleshed out in the comic I really dig the whole hungry, plebeian yet immensely powerful warrior who found himself worthy of fighting for the Kahn. Clubber Lang vibes as well.

@@KINGHAMSTERR I can’t remember where the rumour started, it was often either a magazine or like i say friends talking at school but i never questioned it because a lot of the time things like Ermac being an error came from the same kind of sources and for many years it was thought he truly was an error but it was just Ed Boon being clever. I mean he still does things like that on twitter but the problem is we have people who data mine and then the net spreads the info so making mythos like that is harder these days. Mind you we have stuff like meteor towers which took a year to discover but now everyone knows instantly once someone finds it. Back then someone would find it but it would take time for word to travel. In the game tips on mk11 it says something about ermac with the words all jumbled like there is errors in the code again so i love little eastereggs like that reminding us of the old days. All my favourite characters came from them being hidden such as Reptile, Ermac and Noob Saibot. Would be cool to see what they would do with chameleon and the likes with today’s versions of the game.

I would love to see either a game, comic, or animated film that covers some of the old school Shokan/Centaur feud. Get to learn more about the characters of those races we already know, while meeting some new ones and expanding on that whole period of time.

Boom! I was waiting for this one

If they can update Kintaro's design to have him look a tiger, the least they can do is fix the other shokan so they actually look like dragons.

I LOVE your videos HBTW! My favorite Sub Boss of All Time is Motaro!!! I hope we can get them all in another game some day :)

him like MANY others (mostly 3d characters) are just killed off/written poorly and are highly under-appreciated by both fans and netherrealm. its sad, so many characters have so much potential.

Kintaro has always been my favorite sub-boss. Finally getting to him on the mountain was a big accomplishment for me as a youth, and finally defeating him the first time felt like quite an accomplishment. Besides nostalgia, I just think his look is the most creative out of all of the original bosses.

As a kid, I wiped Goro down. Kintaro was harder for me, and Motaro was just brutal

Man he got done nasty in the mkx comic I really wanted ta see him in mkx or mk11

He was also a secret fatality for Shang Tsung in the old MK. He’d morph into Kintaro and punch the opponent’s torso off

I really, REALLY hope he's in Mortal Kombat 1. I remember trying to beat him in MK 2 on my SNES. On VERY EASY mode. Must have taken me 100 tries.

We salute you soldier🐯

Thanks I also think kintaro looks cooler, But Goro was the first and that design was awesome for seeing it for the first time.

Kintaro is my favorite Shokan and my most favorite sub boss from the original timeline. His MKX comic book look was the best feral design and would've been a great ally to Earth Realm if treated with the respect he deserves. I think it'd be best to have himself and Sheeva rival Goro and Motaro in MK12 instead of making that story dlc, because the story in MK11 is such a mess!

He’ll be preorder DLC for MK12. Mark my words

Fingers crossed that Kintaro returns in Mortal Kombat 1. 🐯🐅

The history of Ferra & Torr please! 😜

you are the best , just wanted to tell you that.

Where the fk is kp3???

That is a hard choice all these sub bosses are all badass in there on way and are very op but my favorite I have to say is Kintaro his designs cool looking

I love army tiger warrior. I can’t wait for him to make his appearance in the next Mortal Kombat game.

I KNOW it's not cannon, but I've always preferred Kintaro's death at the hands of Lui Kang and Kung Lao during MK Shaolin Monks.

Really though I would've had Motaro responsible for Kabal's Origin OR Mavado if you think about it logically. 🤔 Good video as always though HBTW 👍

I've always been a big kintaro fan :( I just got mk11 when the movie came out and I went from a big hater of sheeva to her being one of my favorites
