Return of the Dragon King
"The sorcerer Shang Tsung had killed me and consumed my soul. I remained trapped within his being, tormented by his evil, along with many other victims of his vampiric soul drain. Through Shang Tsung's eyes, we witnessed the battle with Raiden, who sacrificed himself to stop Onaga. Raiden's blast destroyed Shang Tsung, and our souls were free to ascend into the heavens. I remained in Outworld, however, to aid my friends in the fight against the Dragon King.

Why someone would desecrate my grave and reanimate my body, I cannot say. Somehow my corpse retains my knowledge of martial arts and has killed many innocents. Though I am not the perpetrator of these slaying, I cannot help but feel responsible for the brutality committed by my corporal form. The battle between mind and body has begun." -Liu Kang

Worlds Collide

Liu Kang returned to the Wu Shi Academy to continue his martial arts training, but his time there will be brief as a new threat beckons him to action.

Fun Facts
Cabinet Absence
In lieu of Daniel Pesina (Johnny Cage's actor) fallout, the Mortal Kombat cabinet Liu Kang drops in game is missing one character who appears on it in real life.
Liu Skywalker
In an analogy to Luke Skywalker of Star Wars, Ed Boon said to make a Mortal Kombat without Liu Kang just wouldn't be right. Ironically, the first Mortal Kombat game made entirely by Boon's direction was the only one to date without Liu Kang in the cast.
Flying Kick Technique
Originally taught to him by Bo Rai Cho, Liu Kang used this technique to defeat Shang Tsung at the conclusion of the first Mortal Kombat tournament.
