Awesome I love this Kombat kid not only because he’s a telepath, but because he has awesome chains and the gameplay with awesome and Mortal Kombat X also first comment
An inside joke between one of my best friends is that we don't use Coles name (from the newest MK movie) he is simply known as NOT Takeda lol we're both pretty hyped for this release
I'm a bit of a sap of romance when I heard both him & Jacqui were to get married, but due to timeline being reset by Liu Kang (thxs btw) he may not get a chance to meet her again. It's the same scenario with Johnny Cage & Sonya Blade where they meet due to the tournament but since there was hardly any they never meet. Sill I'm hoping to be wrong at least for if Takeda is now Kenshi's cousin instead of his son, then there's a chance for others like Cassie Cage to exist to be Johnny's cousin/sister.
Seems like one of the DLC characters from the KP1. NRS did a great job with Takeda for sure - now I hope they do the same with Kung Jin. He deserves a second chance too IMO.
I like the change from son to cousin as it opens up the door for the rest of the Kombat Kids to be introduced via new relations. Like maybe Cassie could be a cousin or niece with maybe Johnny and Sonya now being siblings and she married a military man named Blade and now Cassie is Cassie Blade
Let's not suggest the cousin relationship all the time. That doesn't work for everyone and mixing up the relationships is a must so it doesn't get stale
One of Takedas interactions with Johnny has Johnny mentioning Jacqui by name to Takeda, saying she is a friend and she would take a liking to Takeda. That's at least something for her. But no Cassie mention yet
@@chris1pimentel I wouldn't be surprised if Cassie was related to Sonya in some kind of way, wherever she is. She does look more like Sonya than anything, and that could possibly mean something.
I love his whole design, I hope he is still or will still get to marry J. Briggs. But his style, armor, and weapons are just amazing in my opinion. I also really like Kenshi, so them being connecting is just a bonus for me.
I thought if Kronika had never had shown up, then maybe Takeda would've inherited Sento after Kenshi diies trying to kill all Red Dragon members. Filled with rage and wanting revenge, Hanzo sees that he is going down the same path he went down after his family and clan died. Hanzo would try to help Takeda calm his rage but also help him stop the last remaining Red Dragon members. During the main story, Hanzo would get fatally injured and succumb to hus wounds. But instead of resurrecting like he did in the MKX comics, he instead passes on his Hellfire abilities to Takeda telling him to carry the legacy finally being able to rest in piece knowing he's done the most he could in his waking life. He finishes what he started by defeating the rest of the Red Dragon, but instead of killing Daegon, banishes him to the Netherrealm for eternity. Now, after losing both his father figures, he vows to carry on both their legacies as the new Grandmaster of the Shirai Ryu instilling the same teachings he was given to new young warriors. He would take up the mantle of Scorpion, dawning his bladed whips, Sento, and Scorpion's Hellfire abilities.
@ParaplegicKeanuReeves I think Takeda has enough fans that people would've been okay with it. They already killed Hanzo in MK11 anyway, so at least this way, his death has more meaning.
@marthouismcmiller4787 I would be hyped if he gets his own animated movie or spin-off game where he is the main character. Maybe trying to stop the Yakuza with Kenshi.
The relationship between Kenshi and Takeda''s father and son is a bit rocky because Takeda''s mother, Suchin, was assassinated by the Black Dragon clan when Takeda was eight. Presumably that is one of the reasons why Takeda hates his father, accusing Kenshi of losing his mother, especially when Kenshi admits that he himself had been the target of an assassin and Suchin had been the victim, which presumably was a tough spot for Takeda. Probably Hanzo Hasashi was more of a father to Takeda than his biological father and the Shirai Ruy clan had become the young Takeda''s home. I don''t think it was easy for Kenshi as a father to make such a great sacrifice as to give his own son to the shelter of another clan, but Kenshi saved Takeda''s life in that way.
I’ve posted this before on different videos, but it’s possible that Takeda is still Kenshi’s son, just from the future. The cousin thing could just be a cover story.
@@marthouismcmiller4787 pulling someone from another timeline just to keep something consistent for no reason just because why? Also Did Kenshi even mention his wife to anyone?
@@rayhayes7701 ummm yes kenshi mentioned her to lui kang in the intro dialogue “suchin wants me back” that’s takeda’s mother who gets killed by the red dragons.
To be honest I wish Hydro would've gotten the same treatment like Takeda in the previous old timeline.. But right now I'm trying to understand and use the three variations of Takeda in MKX right now cause I'm starting to get the hang of it..
I thought Hanzo Hasashi was gonna be takeda. I'm confused on what they are gonna do with Hanzo's character. I feel like it wouldve made sense it if he started as takeda then swoly became the new scorpion.
@@cranesilentlyplays8084 great call👍, I can look passed the cousin dynamic (kinda) as Long as the Red Dragon saga continues and Takeda finally gets his moment with Daegon
Why do you and Uncaged Games still call this character "Ta-KEE-da"? It's "ta-KAY-duh." Mispronouncing this name is just lazy. The name is pronounced correctly in MKX, and all of his MK1 trailers. It's pronounced correctly on the Kombat Cast as well. It's just lazy that people continue to mispronounce this name. it's so annoying, hearing these names mispronounced over and over again, despite the correct pronunciation being publicly known, and always present. I almost have to stop the video. If you were giving a keynote speech, I'd have to stand up, and stop you. Love your videos. I've been subscribed for years. If you do read your comments, please do not take this comment the wrong way. I'm just asking you to pronounce the character's name correctly.
The name mispronounced is bothering me as well. Especially when I didn’t know how to pronounce it until the trailer & now hearing him say Ta-kee-da is annoying
@@IceCold_Carter If you google, "How do you pronounce 'Takeda'?" Google will give you a phonetic pronunciation of the name, and it's very clearly pronounced "taa-kay-duh," not "taa-KEE-da."
For anyone that doesn't know how to pronounce japanese.... a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, o = oh, u = ooo, y = ee. Now say it with me. Tah - Keh - Dah. Takeda.
Can i ask why you're so hyped for a game series that has fallen so far it just relies on microtransactions and patch updates. Have people really lowered their standards that much
Liu Kang maybe a god but he's not perfect, I mean look what he did to Baraka making his Tarkatan be a disease or even having Kenshi get blinded again. He created a new timeline but he doesn't control peoples fate.
@@DonYoGi8331 bruh stop capping this new origin is shit. They could have just have him be from the Future to prevent a calamity or from another timeline. Their was no need to have be Takedas cousin. This is another lame ass decision just like with Quai Liang being Scorpion, Hanzo being a random kid and them giving Hanzos wife Harumi to Quai Laing to marry (talk about disrespect). This new time line sucks! And if Takedas his cousin what next Jacqui is Jaxs younger sister and Cassie Johnny's niece? Kmmttt you guys are ridiculous for defending this new timeline crap
@@barrysmith4610 how could he be from the future if Liu Kang created the timeline himself? Plus Liu would obviously know about whatever calamity ahead of time since he has Geras and the hourglass so your comment made no sense😂😂.
