The Mishima may be the protagonists, but King is the hero of Tekken.

Maybe in Tekken 9 King will be the one that beat the next devil. Setting the stage for King 3!

The fact that King got the most views of all the character trailers of Tekken 8 proves that King is the most popular Tekken character.

@@Hilversumborn It's a pity that, just like Paul, he went from being one of the strongest characters in the entire verse to just a journeyman at best. I know that the King introduced since Tekken 3 is actually one of the orphanage kids who took up the torch of the original after he died (the one that Loresmith shows in this video as a nice fanservice), but still I think he deserves some moments to shine in canon.

King's background is Close to reality
This origin story makes me remember the story of Father Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez.
Someone send this to LilMajin 😢 man
These are great, keep them coming. It gives the non Mishima characters much needed backstory. Also Alucard being the narrator is a nice throwback to Tekken 5.
How did he get so jacked though?? The priests must have fed him protein rich foods 😂
Hope there will be more of these for the Mishimas, Laws, Marduk, Hwaoarang and Baek, Dragunov, Kunimitsu, among others.

Thank you for not only telling the the background story for the First King but the other fighters as well i can now look at the fighrers who a new respect to them and now see how their hardships molded them to the top fighters they are now. I sincerly appreciate the style of storytelling it feels genuine and fresh and keeps viewer immerse in the universe of Tekken. I cant wait till you touch on Characters such as Jun, Jin, Heihachi and much more. And I hope in the future you will dive in the lore of other fighting games like virtual fighter, killer instant, or even Bloody Roar to named a few. Amazing video

Thanks bro that means a lot! It's just me making these, that's why it takes so long! 😅 But yeah King is an awesome character, he's just a good dude overall, can't help but like him. I've said it before, the Tekken characters have lots of potential for stories, I dunno why they don't make a show of it. (I Know they made an anime but it's Mishima focused like everything Tekken related, dont get me wrong, the mishimas are cool but I think the other characters are cool too)

Yes, all characters, one game at a time. So King part 2 will be when I start covering Tekken 2.
I liking this channel the treat these legacy characters with more respect than the creators after the green gravy (yes chat i know they're businesses that need money for survival!)
Excuse my language but this FUCKING amazing. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for this. I know Tekken has a lot of characters but I am hoping you will be able to do all the characters lore. Again thanks 🙏🏾 so much for this. This is quality content.
The tenchu stealth assassins narrator damn ❤man’s the best to ever do it 👌
Another absolute thrilling video! Cheers LS!
My favorite of this Teken series so far. The introduction is especially touching. As a Latin American, I appreciate the detail of making the priest speak Spanish (and with a Mexican sounding accent!) instead of English, or worse, some weird Spanglish lol. I thought this one was going to be tough due to the prompts required to render a character as "unique" as King, but surprisingly whatever Gen AI you used did quite well (it even nailed his "family man" attire).

I like to honour the countries and cultures the characters come from because I think that’s such a cool aspect of the franchise, the variety. I only speak English so i can’t really authenticate, i did try to make a point give him a Mexican accent though, I hope it came across well enough because I can’t tell! 😫 Honestly, yeah it was tough, it took a while to do king, with his “unique” look as you say. you can probably see, it’s not perfect, but it’s something at least 😂 his freaking jaguar head! probably one of the hardest characters, I have a feeling yoshimitsu will be a pain too.
King is King
