Talk:Reiko (Mortal Kombat)

Armour the similar to Kahn's...
Its because he was a general for Kahn's army. If you'll note MK:Deceptions Edenia realm, there are lots of Kahn's soldiers around. All of there is simulair outfits to Reiko.

No mention of Reiko being in MK: Conquest?

Vogel being Ironic?
This article quotes Vogel saying that he has no desire to bring the Reiko character back, and then accuses the situation of being ironic with Reiko being brought back in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Do you honestly think Vogel wanted to bring a lot of those garbage characters back? MK:A's whole premise is that every fighter to participate in any of the Mortal Kombats is returning, that is most likely Boon's idea and NOT Vogel's. It's just an example of hitting the classic "reset button" that's used not only in video game storylines that need new life, but also comic books, television, and other forms of entertainment media. It'd be ironic if you had a quote of Vogel personally approving Reiko when he's already gone on record disapproving...I'm sure he still shares disdain for the character as much of us do. -- Dan N.

Nonsense, Vogel is an idiot if he truly feels that way. Reiko is one of the better new comers in MK. He is far and away better than those new comers from Deadly Alliance and Deception, and even in his own debuting game he was the best of the new characters. The only ones who even came close to him in those three games were Quan Chi, and Havik. Reiko is far better than the rest of the new comers since MK4. -- Reiko Owns All

Reiko as Kahn's Son
I've seen the scanned MK pages from Game Informer, and nowhere do I see any mention, fan speculation or otherwise, of Reiko being Kahn's son. Is this elsewhere in the issue, or just a total falsehood? Shadaloo 09:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Mere speculation, my friend. The S 03:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

MK4 on Gameboy
To my best knowledge, there was no version of Mortal Kombat 4 for any incarnation of Game Boy.

Yes, there was. Shadaloo 05:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, it was rubbbish tough. Although the graphics and game play were very poor if you ask me. It was almost unplayable. 23:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Is Reiko based off of Robin and Nightwing?
Robin and Nightwing from Batman were the basis of Reiko? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.21.144.217 (talk • contribs)

Any resemblence to Nightwing or Robin is coincidental. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.12.116.139 (talk • contribs)
 * No. Reiko's design was based on other human-form Demons. Look at Sareena and Kia. Both share black tattoos on their faces...Sareena's in paticular resembles Reiko's. Jataaka also has facial tattoos, but hers are white instead of black.

Reiko/Kahn source
If someone would like to wade through the Reiko/Kahn section and properly reference it all, I found a fairly decent resource for it. Enjoy. :-P EVula 15:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Funny thing...
So, I've become a big fan of playing as Reiko in arcade mode. However, both times that I've played as him in Arcade, all of the regular opponents have been female; the sub-boss the first time was Goro, but the second time, it was Sheeva (which is surprising, as the sub-boss was, I thought, supposed to only consist of the bosses/sub-bosses from previous games, which Sheeva never was).

Surely this has to be a jab at his feminine name, but I obviously can't add this to the article. Has anyone else noticed this? More importantly, does anyone have any evidence that this actually is deliberate? It'd make an amusing entry into the trivia section. EVula 18:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I just tried playing through arcade mode twice now with Reiko and I didn't see any particular pattern with the opponents I was given. The first time they were all male, with Kintaro being the sub-boss. The second they were all male once again except for Sindel. MarphyBlack 22:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I played it a third time, and got a totally different set. Curiously, I got the exact same set the next time, when I was testing out one of my KaF characters. Bizarre. EVula 00:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The game randomly assigns you a preset list of characters to fight in arcade mode. You were just incredibly lucky and happened to get the same list twice.  The exact same effect would have taken place had you used any other character.

Did you ever notice that...
The throne which Reiko sits in his MK4 has a Brotherhood of Shadow logo on it? The same logo is on Sareena's arms, Kia's clothing, Jataaka's clothing, Reiko's back and on the walls of Shinnok's pyramid in MKM. Is there a possibility that Reiko actually sits Shinnok's throne? Dmr2hn1 19:13 02.05.2007
