Circus
Part-Time Kano Hostage
Thanks to The Kombat Tethers's complete rundown of chapter 1 we know the cameos that'll appear early in the game. Most of the undead characters that died in Mk9 seem to be more like mindless drones, but as you could see in this passage from The Kombat Tether, Smoke actually goes out of his way to have some dialogue.
"Meanwhile, we see Sonya, Johnny and Kenshi enter an unnamed forest area. It is here that they are confronted by revenant Nightwolf, Jax and Smoke. Nightwolf commands a band of Oni to attack a group of Special Forces soldiers whilst Smoke (In a masked, new costume) engages Johnny Cage in Kombat, declaring "Smoke is dead, I am an enenra!"-"
---------------------------------------------
Enenra Definition:
An enenra (煙々羅 en'enra, lit. "lightweight-fabric smoke") is a yōkai, or Japanese monster, composed of smoke. It resides in bonfires and, when it emerges, it takes the form of a human. It is said that an enenra can only be seen by the pure of heart.
The character 羅 in the enenra's name is meant to draw a comparison between the enenra and the lofty characteristics of lightweight cloth.
-----------------------------------------------
My mind can't help but wonder why NRS would decide to put this in the game without any further explanation, not to mention the new outfit too.
What could this mean for Smoke in the story later on and could this even slightly hint at him playable in revenant, human, or cyborg form? Could Smoke be Quan Chi's new Noob Saibot?
Edit:
His Mk9 Ending actually expands on why he is an enenra too.
