°°°° Does Bi-han have an eating disorder?

( ⚠️ This is not intended to be canon, nor to provoke morbidity or anything else, it is just a theory that can be discarded )

I know what you are thinking, of how I came to this conclusion, I understand how confusing the statement can be. But that's exactly why I'm making this thread so you have the benefit of commenting your opinion regarding this theory.

The idea came to me, because of a dialogue, where Johnny Cage mentions to Bi-han what his breath had an unpleasant odor. He even reaffirms it when he talks to Shao. At first I thought it was a funny dialogue, I hadn't thought much of it.

Until I noticed some strange things about Bi-han. Things that led me to the assumption what I'm doing here.

°°° First I analyzed how hygienic the character might be, for obvious reasons, I thought that maybe Bi-han might be careless of this, however I found to my surprise that the character this his flaw traits is "vanity". Being someone who takes good care of his image, he tries to be clean. And this is not an assumption, Bi-han makes clear his vanity with his own costumes, as we see that he loves to highlight the status in which he finds himself. Contrary to Kuai Liang who doesn't bother to wear jewelry or fancy fabrics, despite being Bi-han's brother.

As we see in the ending scene of Kuai Liang, where Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu go to fight, we can see that Bi-han wears a pretty fancy suit.

So we can assume that being vain he takes good care of his figure, but then if Bi-han doesn't neglect this how can we explain his bad breath?

°°° This is where we start to question the eating disorder. And although it seemed like something that had no proof or foundation, it turns out that there is....

There are little things that lead me to see this as a possibility, starting with what is said about Bi-han's mental health...

For when Kuai makes it out of the temple and is reunited with Smoke, Smoke tells Thomas "That he knew Bi-han's frustrations were deep, but he didn't expect them to drive him to madness" here we realize one thing, and that is that Kuai Liang was Bi-han's consoling arm.

And apparently Kuai Liang knew or was aware that Bi-han's aggressive attitude was due to something out of his brother's way of being, that is to say that he knew that this haughty attitude provoked him something. As we see in the story mode, Kuai Liang does not defend Tomas when Bi-han comments on being an adoptee, and not only that, Tomas also does not seem to care.

This may be because Kuai Liang and Tomas have the mentality that Bi-han's emotional problems are affecting the way he reacts. And this we can see as true.

For when they go on the mission to deactivate the soul rodents, Bi-han has an aggressive attitude in Liu Kang's temple, but after fighting Nitara and Ermac. He becomes more sensitive to his brothers. He asks if they were well, and even adds "he is pleased to fight again after such a long time of inactivity"?

This "bipolar" change in Bi-han is certainly strange. For if he were the insufferable brother as he is so often portrayed, the betrayal of his brothers would not have affected him so much.

Now what exactly would Bi-han's frustrations be?

There is no clear answer, that is to say that we do not have a timeline of exactly what happened. But we do know about some events or things that affect him.

In a dialogue with Kitana, Bi-han is sad and even empathizes with Kitana's sadness at Sindel's death. She tells him that she blames him for it. This dialogue is significant because the reason for this is that Bi-han is affected by his mother's death.

Tomas even mentions her in a dialogue where he questions whether she would be proud of Bi-han being a comment that affects him, even Bi-han refuses to question this. And he comments that his mother would be supportive....

So his mother's death, is a trigger for Bi-han, as it carries so much weight that it influences his emotions to this day.

Another thing that marks Bi-han is being part of the Lin Kuei Clan and his frustration is due to the fact that he can feel the clan more like a cage than a life. A feeling that the original Bi-han himself had after being kidnapped by this clan. This idea of being limited or submissive creates doubt in Bi-han that he does not control his destiny. Although his clan was not bad, it should be noted that it is still not valued, despite his work with the land. Therefore, this lust for service is something that frustrates many parts of the Lin Kuei members. It is worth noting that it is not just Bi-han.

This collective frustration led them perhaps even to have a circle of rebellion. Circle that fell into the toxic because let's remember that "Dad would tell us to wait without protesting."

The idea that you might be being trampled on, or used, can be an idea that affects anywhere. For the feeling of wanting freedom is something that can drive many people crazy. For the perception of this can vary or even be misinterpreted.

Another frustration is also the death of his father, this because of the issue that influenced the death of this, do not know what happened. But Bi-han believes he was right to let him go. It should be noted that Bi-han has problems with his father and this may be because his father was very loyal to the Lin Kuei (to the tradition of this). For we see that the father has airs of having been straight with his children. So that these do not question anything, making that perhaps for the eyes of Bi-han his father was the main cause that there was no freedom in the temple. That is, seeing him as someone who had to be 3limin4d0 in order to remove him from power. It should be noted that Bi-han never dared to hurt him, because as we know he had an accident, so Bi-han chose not to help him. So Bi-han waited until he had died or something had happened to him, here we can see that in spite of everything he had feelings for his father. For he could have easily taken matters into his own hands much earlier and more brutally. This being another frustration for Bi-han, that he is blamed for his father's death, because from his perspective he waited for his father to die. That is, the accident he had was not his fault and not helping him was partly because his time had come. We know that he was very old, nothing assured him that he was going to live longer. So Bi-han was right not to help him at that time. Maybe he could have done something but the decision had already been made according to the moment.

Continuing with the frustrations, there is a theme about the power Bi-han wants. Here there are two things that I think are confused. Some believe that the power Bi-han seeks is literally a powerful magical power. And no, Bi-han speaks more of a higher power in the matter of ruling. For they have long served and never been promoted. Instead the Shaolin take credit for "defending the land". The greatness or power he seeks will not only give him control, or assurance that no one is above him, but it will also give him the respect he believes no one has given him.

Currently another frustration of Bi-han's is the betrayal of Kuai Liang. And this frustration is triggering two emotions, on the one hand there is the part that wants to kill his brother and on the other hand there is the part that doesn't want to fight with his brother. Even Bi-han can ignore Kuai if Kuai is willing to step aside but as we know Kuai won't do that. So Bi-han has the frustration of confronting his brother.

And that I think are his biggest frustrations.....

°°°° Now we know what's going on with Bi-han's head, we know that indeed, as Kuai Liang said his frustrations were deep, so we ask ourselves the question, have they affected Bi-han physically?

The answer is yes, and I personally believe that this led to eating disorders.

How can we come to that conclusion? Well let's analyze this...

First let's talk about the death of his mother, which to this day is something that continues to depress him. So we can intuit that she may have had a depression in that period of mourning. Being that depression usually causes people to not want to eat and their mood to relapse into a sad state. Let's also remember that this may vary from person to person but on Bi-han's part I think it is very noticeable that she stopped eating and had episodes of sadness. Episodes that may even come back to him as he shows it in the dialogues.

Now, based more on his frustrations, Bi-han would have a lot of emotions that would cause him to alter his bile. Which for those of you who don't know what it is, it is a liquid that is produced and secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, if some of you have had a very strong anger, worry, etc. You will know that bile causes people to vomit.

More so contemplating the exercise routines in the Lin Kuei, as let's remember that they train since they are children, so let's add the fact that Bi-han does not eat in his mourning period, plus the frustrations of worry and anger. Plus the routines, plus the mood swings he is having and partly plus the power he has.

Something to keep in mind here, too, is the fact that the powers they have greatly influence their emotions.

So the ice power boosts their feelings even more.

This leads me to think that Bi-han in the long run may have developed an eating disorder, how is that possible?

°°°° We have already analyzed his mind, including his lifestyle and rhythm of life. But now let's analyze his physique. Has anyone else noticed that Bi-han is strangely thin compared to his siblings?

I want to clarify the fact that thinness although it is common in cases of eating disorders or behaviors. Bodies are not always thin as they are stereotyped in movies or series . Reason why Bi-han may have an athletic body but not necessarily healthy... to what we see. For these disorders like anxiety among other things, can have stages where the person relapses and then feels good again.

Returning to the subject, we can see that Bi-han has very marked his features, with this I mean, that the corners of his jaw are marked enough, besides having split lips and dehydrated.

Her hair is also curly, and she has acne on her neck and face.

Personally I love that they gave these realistic details to the characters, I want to clarify it, but under my theory or under this analysis the things that I described, as an "uncontrolled" acne, can also be features of these disorders. For this would be a physical reaction of the body.

Here we are not saying that it is a bad thing to have these traits, we are simply analyzing that they can be caused by these disorders. That is to say, each detail can give us a characteristic of the character and I find curious these intentionally emaciated details in Bi-han.

At first I thought that his lips and even his pale skin were due to his ice power, but I also noticed that these powers do not physically affect the bearer, they only do this if they reach an extreme level of power, which they don't have... So we see that Bi-han takes care of his appearance, that is, he is someone who physically and visually can look good. .... But analyzing his mental health and features that we don't see like his lips would be, after wearing his mask, we see that there is something internal neglected....

So we have

°°° some emaciated physical features, due to health problems like not eating.

°°°We have bipolar, haughty and depressive attitudes, due to their frustrations but also due to their possible lack of sugar and other food substances.

°°° To have a potentiator of emotions with his power of ice and with his eating disorder.

°°° We also have that Bi-han takes care enough of his image, for fear of self-criticism. If we see it this way, perhaps his vanity is not so much to reaffirm his egocentrism but to avoid criticizing himself when he looks in the mirror. This also applies in his social environment, Bi-han does not accept criticism and perhaps it is not so much because he is proud, but because they will add to what his mind can tell him.

°°° In conclusion I think Bi-han has eating disorder or behavior that makes him vomit.

Reason why his body is a little thinner than his brothers, also the reason why his lips are cut because he neglects his nutritional health.

Bi-han's frustration leads him to vomit a lot, that would explain his bad smell in his breath and this causes him to be careful with his hygiene, because due to his thoughts these can attack in a cruel self-criticism, which leads him to have attacks with bile. Being his breath the one that affects him the most because he can have an attack of vomit at any time.

°°° Now another thing that makes me think about this possibility is the fact that they want Noob Saibot to have a skeletal aspect... aspect that for some reason Bi-han embraces... on the other hand, I had read that the developers of Mortal kombat had a strange taste for making the characters vomit.

And seeing that in this game they have left a bit of mental health and brushed with these issues to give characters development. couldn't they use such a disorder to give a background to a character or appearance to some character in the future?

°°° Also in another dialogue between Bi-han and Kuai Liang, there is a curious dialogue, I explain, when the intros are made before the fight, we can see that there is a dialogue punch line, which makes it trigger the fight. This trigger must be something significant for one of the characters. In the dialogue Bi-han tells Kuai Liang that they could have ruled together. To which Kuai Liang replied -I get "Disgusted "just "imagining it"-.

I mean, throwing up at the thought of something, is it a hint to Bi-han?

Let's remember that Kuai is the only one who knows what's wrong with Bi-han

Anyway, what do you think?
