10 Video Game Villain Plot Holes EVERYONE Missed

10. Onaga's Army - Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance + Mortal Kombat: Deception

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance opens with Quan Chi discovering the skeletal army of Onaga the Dragon King. The KISS-inspired sorcerer allies with Shang Tsung, knowing he can use his soul-transferring powers to resurrect the Onaga's minions.

When Raiden gets wind of this, he alerts Earthrealm's champions, telling them they must stop the two insidious warlocks at once. Although the details behind the undead army are vague, Raiden emphasises they are unstoppable.

But in Mortal Kombat: Deception's opening, Raiden manages to... stop them. Weirder still, the thunder god has no trouble vanquishing the revenant warriors. So, why was Raiden worried about the malevolent horde, if he could obliterate them with a single energy blast?

If the army were this easy to dispose of, why did Shang Tsung and Quan Chi need them so badly? They already have thousands of Tarkatans, Zaterrans, and Outworlders at their command. How is a bunch of zombie samurais gonna help the devious duo take over, not just a world, but the entire multiverse?

This inconsistency is more apparent in hindsight, since Onaga's foot-soldiers haven't been seen or mentioned in 20 years, even though Shang Tsung and Quan Chi once regarded them as the ultimate weapon.
