Dataminer Finds Hara-Kiri Animations in Mortal Kombat 1, Possible Quitalities Feature

Exciting developments are emerging from the *Mortal Kombat 1* community, as a recent datamining discovery hints at the potential return of Hara-Kiri Fatalities—now possibly reimagined as Quitalities. A Redditor known as u/InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri animations within the game’s code. These unique finishers, originally introduced in *Mortal Kombat: Deception* back in 2004, allow the losing player to perform a self-inflicted Fatality, adding a dramatic twist to match endings.

What makes this find particularly intriguing is that InfiniteNightZ uncovered Hara-Kiri animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface. This suggests these features could be activated in a future update rather than being discarded during development. “After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible,” InfiniteNightZ noted.

There’s further speculation that these animations might be integrated into the game as Quitalities—a mechanic seen in previous *Mortal Kombat* titles where a quick finisher triggers when a player exits a multiplayer match. The animations were reportedly labeled as Quitalities in the game’s internal code, fueling hope among fans. “They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope,” InfiniteNightZ added.

Following the initial discovery, prominent *Mortal Kombat 1* dataminer Interloko confirmed additional Hara-Kiri animations exist. In a follow-up tweet, he shared findings of two more animations not included in the original video:

Thanks @MatthewDim40523 for tagging me. Here are another 2 missing from the video, so looks like only Omniman and Conan don't have one. I didn't try to trigger it in the game because I'm busy finishing some stuff of the demo of my own game.

Of course, until NetherRealm Studios or Warner Bros. Games officially announce the inclusion of Quitalities or Hara-Kiri Fatalities in *Mortal Kombat 1*, these remain unconfirmed theories based on datamined content. However, the presence of such animations in the code certainly keeps the possibility alive.

Meanwhile, *Mortal Kombat 1* continues to captivate players with surprises like the hidden fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, and the collaborative effort by the community to uncover his unlock conditions. Fans also have the upcoming T-1000 guest character to anticipate, along with potentially more DLC content—though official confirmation from NetherRealm is still pending.
