- "There are many Realms,"
- "I am talking backwards, spooky isn't it,"
- "Parents of the world, There is no satanic messages hidden within the backward speech of Mortal Kombat,"
- "Play Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam" (A Reference to The Cable Guy (1996))" "If you can decode this then you have way too much time on your hands"

Kira's Debut!
Mortal Kombat: Deception is a standout entry in the series, not only for its engaging gameplay, diverse roster, and detailed Konquest mode, but also for introducing Kira, the first playable female member of the Black Dragon. Though she may not be a major character in the grand scheme of the Mortal Kombat universe, Kira's debut holds a special place for fans who appreciate the deeper Black Dragon lore. She becomes the first recruit of Kabal's reformed Black Dragon, and her role, although minor, adds a new dynamic to the story.
What sets Kira apart in Deception is how her character endings from Kira, Kabal, and Kobra seamlessly fit together, creating one of the most coherent and satisfying arcs in the game. Despite these endings not being canon, they add depth to the story that's often missing in other Mortal Kombat titles, especially for Black Dragon fans. The Kabal-led storyline gives a refreshing take on the criminal underworld, making it one of the most well-crafted storylines for the Black Dragon faction in any Mortal Kombat game.
However, not all fans embraced Kira's arrival. Many criticized her for filling the void left by absent favorites like Kano and Sonya, as she adopts movesets reminiscent of both characters. Some saw this as a lazy design choice, though the concept behind her fighting style was actually an intriguing one. Despite the lackluster execution, the idea of blending elements from two iconic characters into one could have been a unique way to introduce Kira as a hybrid fighter.
In the larger context of Mortal Kombat: Deception, Kira's presence gives fans of the Black Dragon something new to appreciate. Her addition as the first playable female Black Dragon member, despite being preceded by Tasia in an NPC role, is a notable achievement. Deception not only serves as her introduction but also lays the foundation for future Black Dragon stories, making it a memorable entry in the Mortal Kombat series.
