The Insane Lore of Tekken (2022)
Ойындар
Who on Earth would play fighting games for the story? ...............I would. I love digging into this stuff and one franchise might be the craziest of all. Here's why one barely competent player has been obsessed with this franchise for over 20 years! (Apologies if I get some details wrong here and there, the games are very hard to canonize)

I find this the perfect opportunity to remind people that Akuma is/was a fruit vendor. Strictly speaking, he is not an evil person. Yes, he's killed a few people, but it should be said that they were incredibly strong and barring his master, he's killed pretty much only bad guys. And his master was glad to die at his hands. He does not oppress, let alone kill, anyone weaker than him -- in fact he will defend them sometimes -- and he backed out of a fight with Gen once he realized he was ill. He fought Oro and they both realized they were evenly matched and if they took the fight seriously, they would more than likely have killed each other, so they stopped. He's probably the best example of a morally gray character that is infamous for using evil powers, literally called "evil intent," and even spouts some edgy one-liners sometimes... without actually doing anything inherently evil.

Azazel was a lot easier once I realised you needed a fast 3-hit string to break his armor. Jinpachi, however, just destroyed you whenever he wanted. At any point he could decide to stomp the ground, which was instant, unblockable, would freeze you and give him a free fireball, taking like a third of your health bar. and he wasn't above doing it 3 times in a row...

The cursed sword is also called Yoshimitsu, what if the sword is instigating its wielder to sign it up to the tournament? Then, the real participant is the sword, and the sword is not using a weapon, it's using the fists of its wielder.
Kazuya I honestly feel remorse for. He probably could’ve been a great man that everyone would love. But the abuse from Heihachi causing Kazuya to become heartbroken and devastated at his mother's death and leaving him vengeful for many years, Heihachi also regularly assaulting him, throwing him off a cliff, and adopting Lee so he'd have a rival. This understandably would drive Kazuya's downfall and turn him into a villain. Also, he is generally quite good to his employees, I don’t think he cares that much but in tekken 7 he warns them not to fight Akuma because they’ll die. Also Anna and Bruce liked him enough to go back to working for him 20 years later after they found out he was alive. I think there was dialogue in tekken 6 where they kinda have pretty chill and playful convos with Kazuya. Also I believe Kazuya was reminiscing the good ol days with him and his grandpa at the end of Tekken 5 Kazuya started out as simply wanting revenge against his father, but eventually got corrupted by his devil genes and only wanted more power. Eventually, coming into conflict with Jin.

You can see stuff like "Hey, let's throw a bear/Kangeroo/raptor in and just attach it to someone, something, somehow." Or "wouldn't going forward in time be really cool?" But then still have Ganryu chase after the fighter with Michelle's moves (her daughter...coincidence? Lei arrests him for perversion!), Tradition (Kazuya and Jin constantly taking over corporations and end up being evil...mostly), even though it's just kinda humourous they all hate their father, so why mimic them? Anna seems like more of the innocent sister after all, and I grew up thinking she was the evil one that was with evil Kazuya and fucked with her sister's memories. I didn't know Heihachi also raised Panda and rewarded Xiaoyu, I thought she had beef with him based on her ending! Panda thinks she is too old for Kuma?? That's it?? That's hilarious. Jun only met Kazuya because he created had Dr B create Rojer. Lol

Has anyone noticed the subtle story telling of the character designs? Specifically with Jin and Kazuya’s devil forms. Kazuya is a villain, he’s always been a villain, the only time he aligns with good is when he’s trying to kill a family member. So his devil form has bat wings. Jin meanwhile is generally good aligned, but willing to do immense evil if it means saving the world. So his wings are feathered. Kazuya is a devil and nothing more, while Jin is a fallen angel.

He is never the focus or protagonist or considered one of the strongest fighters, but his investigation skills reveals info that changes other characters’ motivations and even takes down important organizations.

Just to correct you on one point, it wasn't that Anna ''couldn't live without Nina'' as to why she volunteered for cryosleep, it was because she was envious that Nina would remain a smoking hot blonde babe whilst she (Anna) would be a greying old lady. Its also kind of funny that you said that Anna stopped Nina from getting a gangbang in her Tekken 3 ending and that was her revenge, when in the original Japanese version Nina actually rips Anna's bra off! Nina during this time was absolutely the bigger bully.

By the way, the fact that Mokujin could change character sets mid round by pressing a button was one of the best thing in TTT.
One of the reasons I loved Tekken was because earlier on you didn't actually play as a "hero" character. Nor was he a misunderstood anti-hero. Kazuya is a bad dude. Worse by far than Heihachi or anybody else. It was so cool to play from that perspective. And later after playing Jin who actually was the hero, it seems like we had done it again when he takes control of the corporation and starts a world war. As wacky as the writing is in this franchise, I love it so much. The risks they take while also not taking themselves too seriously. It makes it so much more fun to play.
The whole story is even more sad and ironic considering that Kazuya's name means *'Peace'* / loving.
@phytohormones
Жыл бұрын
I think you're confusing him with Heihachi? Unless there's number symbolism here that I'm missing, in which case do correct me. For some oversimplified context: Mishima = 三島 = "three" + "island" Jinpachi = 仁八 = "humanity/virtue" + "eight" Heihachi = 平八 = "peace" + "eight" [I assume this is what you meant?] Kazuya = 一八 = "one" + "eight" Hachijou = 八条 = "eight" + "article/clause" Kazumi = 一美 = "one" + "beauty" Kazama = 風間 = "wind" + "interval" Jun = 準 = "to correspond/to be proportionate [to something]" Jin = 仁 = "humanity/virtue" I guess the main takeaways from all this are that Tekken 8 is going to be epic, and that Heihachi's lack of imagination when it comes to names precedes the Kumas and Panda, because "Kazuya" is just a mashup of "Kazumi" and "Heihachi". ...And also that Kazuya had likely talked with Jun about his family life prior to being thrown into lava, seeing as Jin was clearly named after Kazuya's beloved grandpa.

@@curtisjackson4090 I looked it up, and while you're right (thank you, I genuinely didn't know!), it's a little more interesting than that. "Kazu", written with the kanji "和" instead of "一" (any applicable kanji may be used for the "ya" part, it's the first one that is relevant), can indeed mean "peace". "和" on its own actually just means "harmony", but when combined with "平" into "平和" (= "heiwa"), it results in the standard, commonly used, normal word for "peace"; the association between the two kanji is quite strong. Kazuhira Miller's first name is written only in katakana, as "カズヒラ", but this "peaceful" meaning is still implied; I'm therefore assuming (I don't actually know for sure, unfortunately) that the usage of the "和" kanji is common in "Kazu" names and a Japanese person will infer this meaning even with a different kanji. This gets me to my point: "和" is notably NOT the kanji Kazuya's (and Kazumi's) name uses; he just has the number "one". He is pointedly and intentionally not "peaceful", despite being given the opportunity to be. It gets better: as I wrote above, Heihachi's name IS, ironically, written with a "peaceful" kanji (平), the first one in the normal word for "peace" (平和). If Kazuya's name were written with that second kanji (和), as "Kazu" names often are, the father-son duo's names would, combined, mean "peace"... and, perhaps, they would be a peaceful family...? But it isn't, and they aren't. And so, they are instead the dysfunctional mess we all know and love.

15:15 Not only does having each character speak their own language make for incredible cutscenes, it has to save Bamco a TON of money on localization. No need to have voice actors for the whole cast in a half dozen different voice languages, just get the one VA for the character's "native language" and you're golden.

33:15 'jun never comes back'... Guess we'll see what she's been doing for the last 30 years in universe.
Kazuya smiling after throwing his old man off a cliff is both hilarious but also terrifying. He just murdered a person and became the head of his father's crime empire. Yet he doesn't do a maniacal laugh or even greave the only father he knew. He just smiles. Coldly looking into the distance before smiling. If the animation didn't look so Bowling Alley, that scene could have been a lot more terrifying than goofy.

This fails, and Heihachi and Jin are split into two, with Heihachi receiving a magically younger body Tekken X: Turns out Dr. Newcharacter had been working for Heihachi this whole time, and split him from Jin on purpose. For this loyalty, Heihachi kills Dr. Newcharacter, leaving Dr. Newcharacter Jr. in charge. Tekken (reboot): Heihachi’s actually a good guy now. Tekken II (after fan backlash): In a shocking twist, actually he was evil the whole time!

If I had to guess, all of the reverence shown, and retcons made to Heihachi's backstory are due to the longest running voice actor for the character passing away in 2010 between games. So they wanted to send off the character properly. Which unfortunately seemed to have turned into a double send off, as the replacement voice actor also passed away 3 years after the release of Tekken 7.

I am so used to Heihachi living, the feeling is unexplainable when he canonically died

That reason doesn't work anymore because of Tekken Bloonlines existing, which prominently features Heihachi. He's gonna come no matter what because he is the poster guy/most popular character. If anything, I'd like to see if they actually change something about him time instead in JUST coming back(like being a robot now or something....and his name is Jackhachi since it would obviously be based of Jack tech and Hachi is 8 in Japanese.)
So Heihachi threw Kazuya off the cliff because he believed that if he survived, then he must have the Devil Gene. But when Kazuya threw Heihachi off the cliff, he also survived. Heihachi doesn't have the Devil Gene, he's just THE DEVIL.

@@Juju2927 i strongly disagree; "hes HIM" goes wayyy harder than "hes built different" i.e. if i said "hes built different" instead, it would have been a missed opportunity to say "hes HIM", imo (nothing personal)

@@siwap3809yeah you're right, I feel like "he's built different" is too old in meme years nowadays. He's HIM is the new thing I guess.
Great vid, man. =) For us who bought our first Tekken-game back in the day (T2 on my part), and had no idea it had a real story in it compared to the lore-less myriad of other fighting-games around that time, this was enlightening. Always thought the extra characters like Alex and such was added just to give each fighter a counterpart to fight. This documentary have made us see the whole picture of the series. =)
Amazing video to watch before tekken 8, great work. This was surely and undertaking.
I like to think that Paul actually did leave early for his fight against Heihachi in Tekken 2 to make sure he wouldn't miss it, but instead he ended up meeting the fate he tried to avoid. Dude had bad luck since the beginning that only got worse as time went on.
