Reiko New Era Timeline (Mortal Kombat 1)
Reiko is an Outworld soldier in Liu Kang’s reconstructed timeline, serving as the second-in-command to General Shao. In this New Era, he is not a power-seeking warlord but a weapon forged by trauma and loyalty. His entire identity revolves around military service and devotion to Shao. He resides in Sun Do, Outworld, and operates as one of the principal enforcers of Shao’s rebellion against Empress Sindel and the royal family. His alignment is firmly antagonistic within the story, though his motivations are deeply personal rather than political.
Reiko’s life began during the Kafallah War, when he was still a child. He and his family were captured during the conflict. His family did not survive captivity, but Reiko endured. Months later, General Shao led a raid that freed the prisoners. Even as a small and malnourished boy, Reiko attacked his former captors and exacted violent revenge. Shao was impressed by the child’s ferocity and resolve. Rather than abandoning him, Shao took Reiko under his command and made him his squire. From that moment forward, Reiko’s life was reshaped entirely around warfare.
Under Shao’s guidance, Reiko was trained rigorously in battlefield tactics, discipline, and brutality. Shao effectively became his adoptive father and ideological anchor. In Liu Kang’s New Era, Shao does not rise to emperor but remains General of Outworld. Reiko, in turn, never becomes a supreme commander in his own right. Instead, he matures into Shao’s most trusted subordinate. His loyalty is not strategic or temporary. It is absolute. He measures his own worth by his usefulness to Shao and openly declares that dying in Shao’s service would be an honor.
Psychologically, Reiko is defined by survivor conditioning and hero worship. The trauma of losing his family during war shaped him into someone who views strength as the only stable truth. Shao represents salvation and order in his mind. Reiko does not pursue power for himself. He does not question commands. He does not display independent political ambition. His morality is subordinate to hierarchy. If Shao commands slaughter, rebellion, or treason, Reiko executes it without hesitation. He sees discipline as virtue and sacrifice as purpose.
During the Mortal Kombat tournament between Outworld and Earthrealm, General Shao selects Reiko to represent Outworld against Raiden, Liu Kang’s champion. Reiko enters the tournament with confidence but is defeated. This loss does not weaken his devotion. Instead, he continues to serve Shao without complaint. At a royal dinner following the tournament, Reiko accompanies Shao and shares in his disdain for the Earthrealmers’ conduct and customs.
As tensions escalate between realms, Shao seeks to capture the Earthrealmers under suspicion of conspiracy. During events in Sun Do, Reiko and Li Mei are dispatched to intercept Earthrealm forces during a festival diversion. Reiko wounds Syzoth during the confrontation but is ultimately defeated when Kenshi intervenes. Later, when Liu Kang attempts to meet Empress Sindel to prevent war, Reiko and Motaro block his progress under Shao’s command. Li Mei exposes Shao’s intentions to usurp the throne. Reiko refuses to stand down. He fights Li Mei and is defeated once more. He is arrested along with Motaro and other conspirators.
When the conflict expands into the revelation of multiple timelines and Titan Shang Tsung’s interference, Reiko remains imprisoned and does not join Liu Kang’s Forces of Light. Alternate timeline versions of him appear in the multiversal battle, but the primary New Era Reiko remains sidelined. After Titan Shang Tsung is defeated, Reiko escapes imprisonment alongside Shao, Shang Tsung, and Quan Chi. They scatter, but Reiko immediately returns to Shao’s side. His loyalty remains unchanged.
In the Khaos Reigns narrative expansion, Reiko is referenced as participating in Shao’s renewed rebellion, though he does not take center stage in the primary events. A variant of Reiko from a merged timeline appears in Titan Havik’s anarchic arena known as the Khaoseum, where he is ultimately executed after defeat. This reinforces that across timelines, Reiko remains a battlefield combatant aligned with militaristic authority rather than diplomacy.
In his canonical ending, Reiko narrates the rebuilding of Shao’s rebellion after their escape from prison. Facing incompetent recruits and dwindling effectiveness, Shao concludes that conventional warfare will not be enough. He resolves to unleash Onaga, the Dragon King, who is said to be imprisoned beneath Mount Tsaagan by Shao’s ancient ancestor. Reiko volunteers for the mission to awaken Onaga, fully aware that he will likely die in the attempt. He expresses pride in sacrificing his life for Shao’s cause. This ending positions Reiko not as an independent villain, but as a potential martyr whose unwavering devotion may unleash catastrophic consequences for Outworld.
Reiko’s combat style reflects military training rather than mysticism. He favors close-quarters aggression, heavy strikes, and battlefield dominance. He is methodical rather than flamboyant, disciplined rather than chaotic. His presence reinforces his role as a soldier rather than a schemer.
Narratively, Reiko serves as the embodiment of weaponized loyalty in Liu Kang’s New Era. In prior timelines, he harbored ambition toward rulership. In this reconstructed destiny, that ambition is removed. What remains is a man forged by war who has bound his entire identity to another’s command. He represents the danger of devotion without selfhood. He is not the mastermind of rebellion. He is the blade wielded by one.

In whose army have you served? In what wars have you fought? Then you are woefully unprepared, Earthrealmer.
I owe him mine many times over. Sacrificing it in his service would be an honor! You will when you're dead, Baraka. Which just shows how much a fool she is. I am afraid of nothing. This will be your last battlefield.

Contents 1 Biography 2 Storyline 2.1 Part 1: Mortal Kombat 1 2.2 Part 2: Khaos Reigns 3 Endings Biography Mortal Kombat 1: "Reiko was a boy when he and his family were captured during the Kafallah War. Though his family died, Reiko fought and survived. After spending months as a prisoner, Reiko was freed during a raid by General Shao. Despite his youth and small size, Reiko attacked his former captors and exacted bloody revenge. Impressed by the boy’s spirit, General Shao made Reiko his squire. Under his tutelage, Reiko learned the ways of war. He became an exceptional soldier and is now the General’s second-in-command. Reiko's loyalty to General Shao is absolute. He will live and die by his orders." Storyline In restarting the timeline, Liu Kang redesigned the destinies of many kombatants he once knew. In doing so, Shao Kahn never becomes Emperor of Outworld and as such, Reiko never becomes the realm's top General but remains a dedicated soldier, as general status is now given to the redesigned Shao Kahn as General Shao. The interactions between Reiko and Shao, however, remain in tact but are also altered, with Shao taking in Reiko and training him to be the strong, loyal soldier he was designed to be, even becoming Shao's adopted son in the process.
ADVERTISEMENT Part 1: Mortal Kombat 1 Reiko is one of the many kombatants during the Mortal Kombat tournament between Outworld and Earthrealm. He is chosen by General Shao as the next competitor against Raiden, Liu Kang's chosen champion, but is defeated in the tournament. Reiko accompanies Shao after the tournament, where they are disgusted by Kung Lao's poor manners at dinner, in which a drunken Shao mocks the Earthrealmers and is dismissed by Empress Sindel.
As later events transpire, the General seeks to capture the Earthrealmers after a misunderstanding between the Outworld forces and the Earthrealmers. While in Outworld to capture Shang Tsung for questioning, Shao has them captured but they escape and travel through a festival in Sun Do. There, Syzoth creates a diversion, alerting Shao and his men that the Earthrealmers are near. He dispatches Reiko and Li Mei to intercept, with Reiko wounding Syzoth. Reiko and Li Mei are then defeated when Kenshi, one of Earthrealm's champions, intercepts them and saves him.
As further events worsen, Liu Kang seeks to consult with Empress Sindel to prevent all-out war between the realms, revealing to Li Mei that General Shao, his men, along with Shang Tsung seek to usurp the throne, putting Outworld and Sindel at risk. Li Mei agrees and allows Liu Kang into Sun Do to meet with Sindel. Their carriage however is stopped by the General's forces led by Reiko. There, he and Motaro demand Liu Kang's return to Earthrealm, with Li Mei revealing she knows of Reiko's true intentions. After refusing, Reiko and Motaro slaughter Li Mei's forces and Li Mei kombats Reiko and is victorious. Reiko, Motaro and some of the General's men are arrested as Liu Kang and Li Mei continue to the palace.
After the revelation of multiple timelines, Liu Kang forms a new Forces of Light to kombat an alternate version of Shang Tsung that had been meddling with the timeline by bringing in Titans and kombatants from other timelines to aid him in the upcoming battle. Reiko joins neither side due to being in prison, however other timeline counterparts of his participate in the upcoming battle.
Liu Kang arrives in Titan Shang Tsung's timeline with his Forces of Light to battle Titan Shang Tsung's Forces of Darkness. A battle ensues with kombat and death all around. Titan Shang Tsung summons a Titan version of Quan Chi, thus reforming The Deadly Alliance for the battle at hand. As the battle wages to the top of the Pyramid, a good version of the Deadly Alliance briefly fight the Titan Deadly Alliance before being quickly killed. At the top, the Titans fight Liu Kang and an ally, only to be bested by Liu Kang's ally in kombat. Liu Kang uses his Temporal Power to erase both Titans, but in doing so, causes the timeline seemingly begins to collapse. Running out of time, Liu Kang sends his ally back to their respective timeline before doing so with himself.
Back in their timeline, despite helping put an end to Titan Shang Tsung's plans, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, another sorcerer that aided General Shao, are imprisoned with Reiko and the General. This is short-lived, however, and they all escape and go their separate ways, with Reiko remaining at General Shao's side.
Advertisement Part 2: Khaos Reigns Although Reiko does not appear, he was part of General Shao's renewed rebellion that Liu Kang and Mileena were talking about. A variant of Reiko from another timeline that was merged into a timeline controlled by Titan Havik is one of the many kombatants within the Hellish, anarchist arena known as the Khaoseum. Within the underground complex of the arena, known as The Maze, variants of Tanya and Rain who hail from the same timeline as this Reiko variant fight him and a variant of Li Mei. Titan Havik states they cannot proceed the arena unless he sees death, so the variants of Tanya and Rain defeat and then execute them, much to Titan Havik's excitement and Rain's dismay.
Endings Mortal Kombat 1 (Canonical): "With General Shao freed from prison, we began raising a new army against the royal family. Though many were eager recruits, few were good at soldiering. It was so bad, the General was forced to change tactics. He decided that we need a doomsday weapon. That weapon isn’t a thing, though. It is a monster: Onaga, the Dragon King. The General told me the old legends were true. That his ancient ancestor defeated Onaga, trapping him deep inside Mount Tsaagan. The Dragon King is still there today, his pent-up fury waiting to be unleashed. Because Onaga is so dangerous, the General wouldn’t risk trying to tame him before. But now he feels we have no choice. Though I likely won’t survive, I accept this mission gladly. I can think of no greater honor than to give my life in the General’s service."
