5. Royal Blender (Kitana, MK1)

Do you know whats better than being diced with one fan? Being diced with two fans, thats what! Suffering this from both ends, with the fans meeting in the middle when theres nothing left of you must be awful. What makes it even worse is that the two fans dont start at the same time the bottom one gets a head start so that the opponent gets to live long enough to realize whats happening to them before their head gets shredded.

4. Make a Wish (Noob, MK9)

Noob summons a shadow clone to join him in playing with the opponent, but they havent quite grasped the concept of sharing yet This game was no stranger to violence, but this fatality is particularly shocking with how gruesome it is. Other fatalities where people are ripped apart are relatively quick, but this one draws it out, and also has the opponent in a very uncomfortable pose while theyre being killed. Rumour has it theres a friendship version of this, which involves Noob and the clone not ripping the opponent all the way, instead taking them to Disneyland as one last positive experience before they die of their traumatic injuries. Okay, so I started the rumour right this moment...

3. Mind Game (Quan Chi, MKX)

I first saw this fatality in a trailer for MKX, which cut to the logo just as the hypnotised, slack-jawed opponent walks into the knife. That definitely made a scary impression on me! This full version is even worse, with how they continually walk into the knife, all the way to the hilt, and all with little reaction besides sickening gurgling noises. Quan Chi finishing them off by levitating then dropping them to cut them in half is almost merciful by this point.

2. Double Trouble (Noob, MK11)

If you thought that Noob and his shadow couldnt find a way to top the last time they ripped someone in half, you are sorely mistaken! Kintaro tearing his way out of someone was bad enough, but the shadow clone is worse because Kintaro takes a while to come out, and ripping off the arms isnt that bad by Mortal Kombat standards. The shadow clone is faster, and comes up through the mouth, with the first look we get at it being its fingers coming up and out of the opponents mouth, forcing it open. Just imagine having that stuck in your throat, and no amount of coughing, gagging or vomiting will clear the blockage, because the blockage has a will of its own. Death is a kindness when it comes, as you no longer have to deal with that.

1. Temporal Execution (Geras, MK1)

Kronika and Quan Chi have fatalities that go on forever. Geras laughs at those amateurs, as this fatality carries on forever across dimensions! Geras attacks his opponent with the severed head of their own counterpart from an alternate timeline, before presenting it to them as a gift. I love the audio cue as they look at the head, suggesting that theyre slowly comprehending what exactly it is theyre looking at. Just before the D4C-esque existential crisis can begin, the cycle begins anew! Violence, comedy, creativity, originality, scale This fatality has it all, making it a worthy winner. Flawless victory!

On that note, the kountdown is over! Thank you to everyone who has read along, and I hope you enjoyed this topic as much as I did. We're not quite finished yet, however. As I promised at the start, I will look at the fatalities for the currently released DLC characters and kameos as well. Look forward to that soon!
