Shujinko is a character from the Mortal Kombat series. == About Shujinko == === Biography === Shujinko, making his debut in ''Mortal Kombat: Deception'' but around for much longer, is a prototypical old Asian martial arts master who has roamed the realms and studied with every renowned teacher. His old age has made him wise, but at a cost: he bears an immense guilt for releasing Onaga unto the realms again, and now that he is discarded by the Dragon King, has vowed to make up for this mistake. Although he shares some traits with the games' Shaolin monk characters, such as his great receptiveness, deliberation and ability to meditate for hours, he has always been a traveller and a student at heart. === Fighting styles === In ''Deception'', Shujinko uses the styles mantis, shaolinquan and the weapon dan tien dao. He is considered to be one of the best characters in the game, though generally speaking he is not well liked with the fans == Storyline == Depicted as a young teenager in Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Deception, Shujinko was trained by Master Bo' Rai Cho in the art of Kombat. Soon, however, Shujinko encountered Damashi, a representation of the Elder God of Fire. It was from this point on that Shujinko's goal is to find the kamidogu, or relics that are hidden in each realm of Mortal Kombat (Earthrealm, Outworld, Netherealm, Orderrealm, Chaosrealm and Edenia) and place them on an altar in the nexus of the Elder Gods. In order to be able to do his bidding, Damashi gave Shujinko the ability to absorb fighting styles and special attack patterns of warriors he encountered with great ease. Shujinko's mission took him more than forty years to complete. By this time, he had missed out on most major events taking place in the realms, such as Shao Kahn's invasion of Earth, Shinnok's short-lived insurrection or the formation of the Deadly Alliance, only hearing about them obliquely or being involved very loosely. Because of his mission, it is said he also missed out on the first Mortal Kombat tournament. At any rate, when his mission was complete, Damashi revealed himself to be none other than the Dragon King, Onaga, speaking to Shujinko from beyond death. Onaga used to be emperor of Outworld, and secretly driven by shard, echoes and memories of the One Being, whose consciousness shattered into the six realms with the creation of the Elder God (Mortal Kombat). The One Being's existence does not allow the existence of something else, precisely because it is just that. The kamidogu, which contain the essential keys and essences of the realms, are powerful tools to merge the realms. The last tool Onaga needed to perfect his strategy was the sacred amulet that was long in possession of Quan Chi. After defeating the Deadly Alliance and Raiden, Onaga also had the amulet. For this, Shujinko assumed full responsibility, and embarked on a desperate quest to destroy Onaga, believing himself the only person capable of doing so. == Trivia == Those who have seen Pai Mei in other films (such as Kill Bill vol. 2) may notice that Shujinko bears a very similar look. Jokes on the internet poke fun at Shujinko's look-stealing (first he looks like Liu Kang in early Konquest mode, then like Kung Lao) to move-stealing, a feature mocked by most fans, but praised by others. In general, it seems he is not that well liked by fans as a replacement for the games' general hero. According to the Mortal Kombat Deception video game, Ed Boon labels Shujinko to be a "next generation Liu Kang" While playing through Konquest Mode in Mortal Kombat: Deception, local villagers say to Shujinko "May Lord Raiden bless you!" The irony in that statement is that in Raiden's ending, he kills Shujinko as a punishment for what he had done. In the opening video of Mortal Kombat Deception, Shujinko states "Only I Can defeat this new threat, borne from deception" and believes to be the true champion of the Elder Gods. However, the Elder Gods hand picked Scorpion as their "True Champion" In Japanese, "shujinkō" (主人公) translates as, "hero or heroine (of a story)" Mortal Kombat characters
