      I've loved both Kuma and Panda since T5. Hope to see a video about Xiaoyu's Pretty Protector and best friend Panda. You, sir, have earned my like and sub.

    The fact that Heihachi is a big son of a bitch but loves his Bear pet even more than his own son is hilarious and wholesome in (probably) a twisted way lol

    Everyone dismisses Kuma and the other animals as joke characters in TK2, while they are actually one of the reasons why Jun joined the tournament. Everyone keeps on forgetting that Jun is an Eco Group Representative and she joined to investigate the animal blackmarket and experiments the Mishima Zaibatsu runs which involves the animal fighters, before the whole Kazuya rollercoaster happened. I love that she has special intro and win quotes with the bears in TK8, to make people remember her past. The whole saga wouldn't happened if Kuma didn't exist.

    2:38 Can you imagine having an office job that pays like 100k a year, but there's always a chance you would be eaten by a bear. The bear couldn't be removed or professionally dealt with, you just had to live with that possibility and all you could do was fight it or leave, those were your only options. And if you shot it you would either be fired or electrically uppercutted by the owner

    How can you not love an animal who is so loyal that he committed himself to mastering his dead master's fighting style and actually succeeded?! Reina better step aside, because it's obvious that Kuma II is the only true heir to Heihachi's legacy.

    You really opened my eyes about Kuma. I’m just now getting back into tekken but I always thought he was just a joke fanservice character, but seeing he actually has personality and him still being loyal to Heihachi makes him such a Chad
    I won’t be playing him in game but I’m glad they brought him back in tekken 8 and hopefully he’s going to be in every game from now on

    Its true, you ARE a great voice actor! I'm loving these Tekken videos! May I suggest Hwoarang next? I used to find him one note, but after reading over his story a while back, I love how his rivalry with Jin has been handled, and how he also seems to struggle with finding satisfaction and meaning in daily life.
    Also I'm gonna debunk that Reina theory and tell you that weapon was that rocket fish he uses in his Rage Art

    I love the Bear, honestly Kuma is the most underrated Tekken character and probably fighting game character. I never picked him up to seriously main him until Tekken8 but i always thought he was fun, hopefully he becomes friends with Paul next game and gets a death fist along with the heihachi moveset how crazy would that be?

    When you realize Jin didn't throw his own father off a cliff, volcano or a helicopter, but his grandfather's pet instead from a helicopter. Irony throwing off people or animals still runs in the bloodline.

    Kuma is low key Hachiko.

    Awesome history lesson on Kuma, t8 kuma is awesome definitely going to learn him properly, looking forward to your reina theory, i think she might be part AI like bryan with devil gene. We might find out within life span of t8 via main story expansion anounced recently. If not this summer then maybe next year or 2-3 years later perhaps as im sure they'll expand on story at lesst a few times and then it might slowly start merging with start of t9 events depending on when they expand.

      Did i not like him being rejected? Yes, getting rejected sucks.
      Do i find it funny? Also yes, they are cartoons or silly characters, not actual people.
      Do i think Panda should have just accepted him? Not necessarily, its probably funnier or entertaining that he did but i realized it might be 1 of the reasons more people like him because he had more character.
      Plus, i didnt like that he got rejected and not towards the actual female that rejected him.
