Well, at the end of the game she's not your Kitana anymore. Neither is Liu Kang. Raiden fucked things too much in the previous game.WAIT WHAT? NOOOOOO. Not my Kitana. Not to Liu Kang. It was fine in the movie but Liu Kang in the game is douchecanoe.
If you or anyone else don't mind spoilers:
Kitana and Liu Kang end as rulers (emperor and empress) of the Netherrealm.
The only ones that Raiden managed to "fix" were Sub-Zero, Scorpion and Jax.
Kabal, Stryker, Smoke, Nightwolf, Sindel and Kung Lao are still revenants of the Netherealm. Doesn't mean they're evil, for example Sareena is also from the Netherrealm. And during the game, there were moments were they gave chances to others to escape.

On topic, thought it was a cool touch. And he also gave the impression that he has a crush with Takeda. He was kinda pissy always at the thought of Takeda and Jacqui.
