One of Shang Tsung’s Fatalities has been spliced with Pokémon, and it actually makes perfect sense.

Well, this is a sight to behold. If there isn’t some kind of bizarre Mortal Kombat 11/Pokémon Sword & Shield crossover coming in the near future… well, there darn well should be.

Now, as we know, Mortal Kombat is not a franchise for the squeamish. Since the very first installment, it’s revealed in providing blood-drippin’, spine-rippin’ carnage, and its unique brand of mayhem has become increasingly disgusting and brilliant as technology has improved. Today, sweet, elderly couples would be horrified just to catch a glimpse of a Fatality in action.

Still, that’s what it’s all about. Mortal Kombat has always worn its super-violent heart on its sleeve (after plucking it out of a victim’s chest), hasn’t it? You don’t buy it expecting to see Barney the Dinosaur happily cavorting around. Wholesome family fun is not the name of the game.

Conversely, if it’s child-friendly gaming you want, you’d probably think that the Pokémon franchise would be a safe bet. As fans will know, though, it gets pretty darn dark around here too. Some of those Pokédex entries will give you the collywobbles, friends, they really will.

What do Mortal Kombat and Pokémon have in common, though? That’s the question. Generally speaking, not a great deal, but as Jeff Goldblum (almost) said in Jurassic Park: “the Internet… uh… finds a way.” As you’ve seen from these screenshots, it’s all thanks to the newest Kombatant on the block, Shang Tsung.

That’s right, friends. It’s hard to say how we as a society arrived at this point, but one of the dastardly wizard’s Fatalities has been spliced with Pokémon, and it’s just poetry in motion:

This little doozy is brought to us by one Kombo BreakerZ, and it’s odd just how well it works. Is it the Poké Ball-throwing motion at the start? Maybe it’s the little Machamp cry at the end? It’s impossible to say, because it’s all just very, very good. As gory as Mortal Kombat is, the franchise always tries not to take itself too seriously, and this is the sort of thing we just love to see from the fandom.
