Update: First edition created by Illurabook

The most important feature of the Ermac is that it manipulates souls and dead spirits.
Ermac is a character officially added to the fighting game Mortal Kombat 1 as a main fighter on April 16, 2024, and is a manipulator of souls and spirits of the dead.Apparently, the soul of that assassinated King Jerrod is also in this Ahmac. This character appeared in the latter half of the story mode, and has finally joined the fray as a main fighter. Unlike in the story mode, he is wearing a mask and appears with a fresh look. (Really, Mortal Kombat has an unusual amount of masks and white eyes.) Furthermore, in May, that Mabado, whom Mortal Kombat fans have missed, will enter the game as a cameo character!

A familiar character from Mortal Kombat Trilogy!
Ermac has appeared in six films, including this one. In the third updated Mortal Kombat Trilogy, the third film in which he first appeared, he was a different color, such as Sub-Zero, but after his reappearance in the sixth film, the original setting with a black cloth wrapped around his face was added, and then the current design from the ninth Mortal Kombat film. For a complete list and history of all 109 Mortal Kombat Trilogies and their appearances in the past, please refer to the complete archive here.
The basic operation is as described above.
Press the R1 button when you want to bring out the cameo character.
In Mortal Kombat 1, you can change your standing pose at will.
Pressing the L2 button reverses the stance. This changes the way the same technique looks when it is performed from a different stance. The effect is that the opponent may find it more difficult to read the technique due to the unusual way it looks.

Ermac with a parade of souls and spiritual powers.
Many of the techniques are applied and may be suitable for advanced players.
Ermac's fatality technique!
Using spiritual power, the dazed opponent is made to spread both arms and legs in the air to immobilize him, and then the body is rotated and the parts are ripped off, with only the tips of the hands and limbs fixed. After doing it one more time, he squeezes them in the middle and turns them into a lump of meat. The final lump of meat leaves only the hands, feet, and face, so it is a bit like watching a grotesque deformation, which must be frustrating for those who have been beaten.
