As nice as Full Motion Video or in-engine animated endings are to see, I imagine that even for a massive company like Warner Bros., with their Hollywood production values, the budget for a video game, especially a fighting game, could be stretched a little too thin. As for Tekken’s FMV endings, the last game in the series to do that was Tag 2, a spin-off from a decade ago. T7’s ‘endings’ do not count because of how appallingly low-effort they are, both for the main Mishima Saga and especially for the Character Episodes.

Considering Reptile is possessed by Onaga in previous timelines, it's very probable whoever wants to get rid of shapeshifters is trying to prevent Onaga of returning.

Hear me out: what if the one enforcing the shapeshifter ban on Zaterrans is Chameleon? They’ve been setting up Chameleon as a likely Zaterran/Saurian in his few appearances, and Khameleon (the female one who is confirmed Zaterran) gets to be in the game as a part of the New Era and not just a non-canon Kameo. Who’s to say her counterpart isn’t here too? Chameleon himself is a prime example of a shapeshifter, someone who can straight up mimic the abilities of others without any issue. No one knows who he is and there wasn’t any information on him in the documents Reptile read, making this person a being from the shadows who evidently prefers to stay hidden like Chameleon was. Chameleon was someone who was focused solely on obtaining power from his little story in the original timeline, what if him killing other shapeshifters is so he’s the only one with that power?

So it’s illegal for Zaterans to disguise themselves as humans?

Reptile's race was originally from Earthrealm, but were forced to leave because of Shinnok (he still exists, he's just powerless).

He goes on to discover the truth that there are many others like him who are either ostracized or killed for their ability to drastically change their appearance.
