135. Bubble Burst (Rain, MK9)

Of the fatalities where victims bloat up until they explode, this one is the most brutal, because not only does the opponent explode, but Rain suffocates them first, drowning them in a water bubble around their head. Once thats done, the second half kicks in, prompting a severe case of water intoxication. That the bloating happens so fast makes this feel worse than similar fatalities as well.

134. Helping Hands (Tanya, MK1)

Any fatality where a solid object is forced down someones throat is guaranteed to make me wince, and this one is no exception. In this case, it overshadows the rest of the fatality for me in terms of how violent it is, because the rod being removed at the end almost comes as a relief, even if the head and spinal cord are detached along with it. The ghostly hand helping hit down the rod and pull it out is also creative, but the ghostly hands will be less overshadowed in Tanyas other MK1 fatality.

133. Skeleton Rip (Sub Zero, MKDA)

Sub Zeros Spine Rip is a Mortal Kombat mainstay, but he can get bored of doing it in every game. Sometimes, he feels like mixing things up. How does he do that? By pulling out the entire skeleton, of course! Its only marginally more anatomically correct than when Kano did it in MK3, but pulling the skeleton out of the opponents back does have the side effect of not leaving their mouth hanging open. The now emptied skin also folds in upon itself, in comparison to Kanos version where it fell flat.

132. Acidic Meal (Reptile, MKDA)

This is another case of two old fatalities being combined, but this one works well because the moves complement each other well. Reptiles acid vomit corrodes the flesh from the opponents head, softening it up for his extending tongue to pull off the head and swallow it whole. The only change I would make here would be to add the animation of him rubbing his belly contentedly after his tasty meal. Maybe hes not doing it because he realised he burned off the flesh and the skull isnt as tasty as a result?

131. Mutant Dissection (Baraka, MKD)

Baraka tops Cyraxs buzz saw by ending not with knocking the body down, causing the pieces he slashed to fall, but instead by stabbing the torso on his blade and pulling it out, holding it aloft on his blade like a trophy. For bonus points, the severed limbs can be seen twitching on the ground after the torso removal, and the gushing blood was also missing from Cyraxs take on this concept.
