Do you think that -in the inevitable MK vs. his friends confrontation- Mei will accidentally seriously hurt him with the Samadhi fire? 🤔

Since strong emotions can cause it to run haywire, and there is nothing that would make her more afraid than having to fight her best friend.

There is NO way that they are completely done with the Samadhi fire. (Unless she lost it?? Subodhi did say she 'once' wielded it. So not anymore???)

But yeah- I bet it would come back into play during the MK/Mei battle. Especially if LBD mistook MK‘s destiny for her own. (Since that one vision she showed made it look like MK was burning before the world exploded. And she wanted everything he ended up having; the staff, his own powers, the Samadhi fire -indirectly, and well, a new title that implies destruction on a reality shattering scale.)

My view is that post the Embrace Your Destiny special, they resealed the Samadhi Fire (unsure if Mei still has her piece with her or if they successfully resealed it into 3 rings this time). We at the very least know she doesn't have it in s4 (MK has to save her in 4x01, she's worried about losing her sword in 4x05 which she didn't need with the Samadhi Fire in EYD, the Subodhi quote you mentioned). But, I don't think Mei using the Samadhi Fire again is completely out of the question. There are things that have come back that I never expected to be acknowledged again (The 1x01 seal being the same as the 4x01 and 4x14 flower fruit mountain seal was a huge shocker for me).

So the Samadhi Fire coming back into play with the MK/Mei battle? That would work super well! Especially with the way characters tend to reach for power and endanger their loved ones. It's a huge risk to take again, but if they feel they don't have any other choice it's something we know they're willing to resort to.

#tbh I'm expecting LBD's visions to be recontextualized at some point #as well as like #what she needed MK for and her og plan to ''undo the memories of the world''#Now that the scroll of memory is a thang #And as far as I can tell the scroll is not a thang from jttw #meaning it's an lmk original #also meaning that MK is like. For CERTAIN tied to the scroll being an lmk original himself #Like how many scenes can we have of MK being othered from his friends before I go mad #Like in 3x09 when he doesn't recognize the place where they sealed the rings but everyone else does #Or in 4x02 where the scroll of memory has everyone except MK on there (including LBD and SQ for some reason)#Or at the end of 4x14 where they're like ''this is what real heroes look like'' and MK isn't there #''I wonder when we'll meet my ancestor'' and then we don't meet his ancestor but we meet everyone else's #Come on lmk bring it full circle do it for me #''A simple creature—with no past no family and no name.'' inch resting #a being with no memories and no memories of them eh #I swear it's connected #Which is funny because I had accepted that they had just retconned the erasing memory bit #But now I'm thinking it's cause MK was needed for that part #''You're right MK. Without you none of this would have been possible—a delivery boy to the end'' or. or a harbinger perhaps #Hmm I went a little off the rails in the tags but when don't I #lmk #lego monkie kida #asks #hero mei warrior mk

Lady Bone Demon: "*laughs* So we meat again son of the Demon Bull King. You're right, I never quite thanked you for freeing me from my prison. Your father was a most fitting host for my power in the time that we had." [...] Lady Bone Demon: "That is one other thing I must thank you for! Creating the Samadhi Fire. Why, without you I would have never been able to fulfill my destiny."

(3x12 The Corrupted King)

Lady Bone Demon: "You're right MK, if you had never found that staff none of this would have been possible—a delivery boy till the end."

Lady Bone Demon: Now watch as I fulfill my destiny and begin this world anew! No monkey king, no monkey kid! Nothing!

(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)

You're right.

#lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk parallels #lmk Red Son #lmk MK #when lbd possesses a friend and claims it's all your fault and that you let her fulfill her destiny. and then you lower your head in anger #I do appreciate red son and MK parallels #when parts of them/their power were instrumental to LBD's success and inevitability #now do you understand...from the start you never had what it took to defeat me...all your power could do was make me stronger...#lmk theme: destiny #lmk theme: identity #lmk theme: power #you're right
