this proves it. heihachi a human with an unmodified body not influenced by science or magic, just pure training and hard work can have a evil soul. when they say pure is not good also should meant pure body doesn't always mean pure good! it takes more than a pure body to be a good person. Heihachi proves that pure humans can be evil!
Heihachi was never pure and only became pure because of memory lose. He was able to gain it while having amnesia until devil gene was mention and headbutting a meteorite to fully get his memories back.

Did this story devalued ending of T7? Absolutely. Probably even devalued ending of the main story of T8. But Rise of Skywalker devalued previous two trilogies, it's own trilogy and basically made it look like the story of rise, fall and redemption of one of the greatest movie characters was all for nothing. This story is NOT EVEN CLOSE to being as shitty as Rise of Skywalker.

Kazuya got jumped by Akuma on that bonus fight is the only plausible explanation, i forgot he is canon on tekken lore I checked the cutscene of that fight again and kazuya even closed his eyes before he got jumped lol
Tbf in the cutscene before Akuma tries to initiate a fight with Kazuya, We could see Kazuya did have his eyes closed after he threw off Heihachi. I still think this is an INCREDIBLY cheap way to show how Heihachi survived lmao.
Bro, I thought the lava pool buffed Heihachi instead if he landed into it. His intro quotes literally state how that "measly lava pool" was the "right temperature".
I didn't buy it. Most of us saw his trailer where he looked like a crazy person. So when they presented Heihachi as a nice old, I knew something was up.
I like how to signify that, Heihachi turned good his hair was down but the moment he goes evil again it's back up immediately. You think his hair acts like a mood ring?
Kazuya killed him with the punch. The dump into the lava, that KAZUYA WATCHED, was just the final "fuck you" to the old man until Akuma attacked. Tekken quite possibly has the worst story in fighting games now.
Toss off a cliff, had a bomb strapped to his neck, spiked out of a Aztec temple, nuked out of his dojo by a dog pile of Jack 5 units, buried alive for 2 months and survived a Messatsu. Does surviving Lava really surprise you? Lol
I was expecting his "resurrection" to be more supernatural, but ok. Tbf, they never actually showed him hit the lava, as if they already considered bringing him back. Shouldn't Kazuya have seen it, tho? The memory loss makes sense. Loss of blood flow to the brain could cause that. And a meteor to the head fixing all that is just funny. I wonder who Season 1's fourth character would be. Ppl speculated Jinpachi. Was he secretly trained by the Monks?
kazuya did fight akuma(who unless he comes back to fully finish things pretty much lost that fight.) after could see that distracting him/called it something saved heihachi from hitting the lava. do find funny(if sad that jin finally got rid of his curse/made peace with himself only to end up having the fight the old bastard who alongside his wife is at fault for all the tragedy that happened to him.)that jin & kazuya's fight is what ended up awakening heihachi to his old self again headbutting the arena they fought on. love that moment with jin & eddy(really hope christie gets added.:3) though wish yoshimitsu got an actual fight scene/nina just really makes me wish we'd see anna return as i way prefer her. could see jinpachi being sent by jun and kazuya(with how he doesn't have the devil gene anymore could give him actual moments with him as his 5 ending did show he still cared for his grandpa before his lust for power took over to morbidly troll him.) going with him to stop heihachi(can't see outside a guest character/really old obscure character anyone that'd top heihachi reviving in that season finale.).
I think the supernatual part is the memory stuff. I thought maybe the monks influenced his memory loss just like they were worried they might influence it back when the other monk used the smoke. Maybe that meteor had devil/angel stuff involved too. Or just acquiring the ultimate move is a spiritual thing that did it.
There’s another style besides kazama that is used to fight demons and it’s the Mishima style of all things. Actually that makes a lot sense since heihachi was able to go toe to toe against Jin and Kazuya.
Heihachi has some of connection with Raijin's lightning within his bloodline. In Shinto and Buddhism, Raijin is a God, warrior-protector who brings both destruction and life. Raijin is more a trickster than a malevolent figure. Like how Sun Wukong emulates and does what he wants as a god and an all powerful figure. Both of the top monks shown, Seiryu and Suzaka also have the lightning power. Seiryuu the azure dragon Suzaku the vermillion bird Heihachi a.k.a byakko the white tiger(He wears the mask) Genbu the black tortoise All of them named after the four cardinal beasts aka four Holy Beasts. They are "divine".
@@MrGksarathy It's raijin not susanoo. The Tekken monks has been using the mishima fighting style since the beginning. There's no indication that susanoo is the mishimas ancestors or worshiip as a deity.
@@ronaldlalisan5592 Did you see the mural at the very beginning of Tekken 8 when the narration mentioned the Mishima's patron god. That showed Susano'o defeating the Yamato-no-Orochi. He is a god of storms, so that could easily explain the lightning and wind motifs in the Mishima style.
Jinpachi would literally be on Jin and Jun side the whole reason Heihachi killed his dad was because his need for power and want to conquer the world jinpachi didn’t have that problem and was more peaceful but could still whoop your ass if need be
This is rididculous, you could just make him a non canon playable character while keeping him dead in the story, that's an easy solution. What y'all bringing him back alive for? He should be dead and STAY dead bruh, just like other characters.
Yeah that's what I was hoping. His death was well done and the main story for Tekken 8 seemed to finally put an end to the story between Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin. But no, fuck it. Heihachi is back which means once again it's Jin versus Heihachi with Kazuya somehow dragged into it. At least this time Jin is back to being the actual hero again.
Im not gonna lie I kinda wish he could have stayed as good guy heihachi for a bit longer. That struggle with his past self trying to break out and him even beating it was very interesting, it would’ve been fun to see that version of Hei face Jin, and possibly even Kazuya before finally reverting back to evil. It was a cool as heck effect though, the source of evil is from the spike in his hair lol.
@@Dashinix Agreed. He was actually growing on me, and I also wanted to see more about the monks' priorities because they clearly disapproved of Heihachi as he was, but seemingly prioritized completing their technique more. If they had waited a bit longer, I feel Jin would have been the perfect candidate.
@@merimkastrat5846then repeat the same bs in the whole series run the iron fist tournament - declare war on the entire world - then get defeated by son or other son or the grandson or all three of them or possibly the opposite and then somehow jinpachi lives too
Not really. Kazuya has his devil gene removed and so does Jin as well. Now that they're both normal humans, they're pretty much at the strength they were before the devil gene stuff. Interesting things is, I think Jim still has his mother's power sleeping in him and will most likely play a part with Reina.
@@signas9896 Yes really bruh, yes really. 4 people killing each other all over again, with the Devil Gene but on 1 of the 4. It's the same old fcking thing, bro, keep Heihachi dead man, damn.
I mean, uh, has ANY of assassin archetype characters (Nina, Anna, Raven, and the likes, which also include Yoshimitsu) ever did anything worthwhile other than being jobbers in the main continuity of Tekken? Well, Raven did do something in this iteration, but nothing really important.
@@spearsage at least nina interacted and had a fight with eddy also had relevancy in the main story this dude yoshi followed lidia & eddy through the whole story and had less then like 1 minute of dialogue and then got dragged by heihachi 🤣
hmmm... compared to the main game, the story here really feels like they rushed through everything and Eddie Gordo portion at the start of it feels completely disconnected and irrelevant compared to the rest
I don’t wanna be that guy, but I’m pretty sure kazuya literally watched him fall into the volcano, besides this doesn’t answer my questions, what happened after kazuya was defeated? How was Reina born? How does she have the Devil gene? Is Kazuya’s Devil gene truly gone? Does Jin still have his angelic powers? I’m so lost story was good until they brought heihaci back then they had to make up stuff on the fly but this was inevitable
After killing Kazumi, Heihachi murdered the rest of the Hachijo family but spared one woman and that woman is Reina’s mother. Also Jun gave Jin his Angel power which was only temporary so both him and Kazuya no longer have the devil’s power.
Sadly this is pretty accurate for him. The few victories he ever achieved were mostly him using tricks. His biggest win was stealing the Zaibatsu's vault filled with wealth in Tekken 4 and that's not even him in an actual fight. Heihachi is leagues above Yoshi. Yoshi isn't 'weak' so to say, but compared to a lot of other characters, he's often overpowered by them. He has the potential to be a lot stronger but he chooses to use most of his strength to suppress the evil blade of his by the same name because he's a morally good character. If he went eff it and went evil, he'd go up considerably. TLDR, He's always weakened by his sword as a result he's one of the chars that take the most Ls.
No, he's not. He beat Ganryu in T1, Kunimitsu in T2 and has no further confirmed victories since then. Additionally, the strain of keeping his sword at bay has been weakening him since T6.
@@MrAlinko21 Tekken 5’s main story is a joke. however, I definitely agree that the character endings were amazing. Tekken 8’s endings are a really bad. Only Jun’s ending was good.
It's gonna be Kazuya vs Heihachi all over again, this time Kazuya unrelunctantly going to be joined up with his son Jin to stop him and Jun convincing him not to kill his delusional father this time. Kazuya is the only Mishima remaining who still didn't get a proper redemption story.
This is just classic fighting game story, no one ever truly dies. I just don’t know whether I’m on board with the way Heihachi surviving being “a man caught him before he fell into the lava” If he can survive a pile of Jack 4s exploding on him, I could totally see him just shrugging off a lava bath. It’d be hilarious since it’d mean basically NOTHING can kill him.
Its amusing how people to this day still try to use logic to understand and explain Tekken, to me the borderline of understanding Tekken is this 1. You can't trust any of the Mishimas (Jinpachi is the only exception to me), Jin broke my trust with the world war regardless of the reason 2. Heihachi can only be nice to Kuma, Reina may show affection to Heihachi or care about him but if its not Kuma am pretty sure that old man will betray everyone even Reina, he only using her coz she got the potential to spice things up in the family otherwise she got no other use and i could also say the same about the remaining unnamed children of Heihachi, just mere tools 3. Just go with the flow of Tekken and trust the process
I was kinda hoping hehachi survived the lava in a more badass/supernatural kind of way….i mean the guy literally survived getting blown up point blank by Jack robots….was practically a mini nuke

Good lord I swear the heroes in the Tekken universe are moron lol They really thought Heihachi wouldn’t remember who he was? 😂 Looks like Kazuya and Jin will have to stop him now. There definitely will be another DLC.
@@SarnieBrothers Jin definitely is the hero, but he and Kazuya will probably be forced to team up against Heihachi if he gets too powerful, or if they still don't have their devil powers.
This! I noticed it right away. Honestly eddys part seems like the best part of this dlc story. As much as I may be disappointed with the story direction of this dlc, their music callbacks are on point! I may have missed some but there is even some heihachis theme from Tekken 2 in his end fights and desperate struggle at the very end after he has defeated them all. Plus the Tekken 6 opening when eddy and jin are fighting. The music callbacks in the main story were some of the highlights too!
It's nice to see that 2 of my favorite characters, Eddie and Yoshi, Are in the spotlight of the story? I was really disappointed, especially when I saw Yoshi in the opening.
I understand that this side story gives DLC characters more screentime, but couldn't Yoshimitsu get at least one or two fights? Why is he getting sidelined so much? 😭😭😭
Aww man, i actually like Hulk Hogan Heihachi. Well, maybe the 4th character will be Akuma, since he had a relationship with Heihachi's wife or maybe one of the monks or Jinpachi or Marduk. Namco seems to enjoy bringing dead characters back to life lol. Thanks for the game review
Ling Xiayou: *So how was your day out Jin?* Jin: *It was fine just the usual sparred with Eddy, hung out with Lars, and also Heihachi is alive* Xiayou: *Oh that's nice.... wait what the f***???*
In my opinion, this story is not bad. Like the main story and unlike MK1, it is not a reboot and continues to answer some plot threads from previous games while attempting to add a few new story elements. Also, the running joke that Mishimas don’t die is one of the many things that makes the series memorable.
This story is as outrageous as every other Tekken game I’ve played since Tekken 3 and Tag. Maybe the complainers are new? As soon as I saw Jin drive off of a building and throw a motorcycle at Kazuya’s helicopter, all I could think was “Aaahh, good old Tekken…”
I will say I did like that both Heihachi and JIn went through a trail to face the darker part of themselves. Heihachi failed were JIn succeeded shown how Jin kept descending further into his psyche don't to the roots while Heihachi practically stalemated with a loss and a win, still struggling with his crave for power absolute. Jin redirection of the Mishima style and it's roots as a martial art to fight the wicked like his Kazama roots, Kazuya defeat in the front of Jin's definition of power, along with Reina and Heihachi are gonna make for an interesting story line.
Considering Heihachi casually went and killed all the monks as the first thing after getting his memories back, I wonder what their plan was if he didn't have convenient amnesia when they rescued him
Nah Kazuya will finish him off. He will come back stronger after his defeat. I felt Kazuya was conflicted during the battle against his son because he could have killed him but choose not to because of Jun.
The moment he was like "Y-yes I will put Kazuya back on the straight and narrow" I knew exactly what would happen. It didn't make it any better when I saw the monks on the floor. The whole time I was like and yall saying Kazuya is the villain.
Head butted a meteor causing it to break and got his memory and iconic hairstyle back….lmfao this is the true Tekken Resurrection….but lowkey most bad intro walking out the smoke with nothing but a slight sunburn and sweat😂😂😂
ahh that reminds me of that time, in tekken 1, and tekken 3, and tekken 5,... i was sure they would bring him back from the moment they said he is not gonna be in the game, before it's launch.. been there, saw that...one too many times.
Despite the negative reaction from most fan and that includes me, I appreciate they unintentionally grant my wish to see Lidia as protagonist to Tekken story like this because I always feel like Lidia is worthy to be protagonist of some story since she first appeared as newcomer, giving Yoshimitsu a screentime too This reminds me to Star Wars The Clone Wars and Tales Of The Jedi when the story giving us an insight to a different side of same story like Ahsoka was on Mandalore when Anakin killed Count Dooku in Revenge Of The Sith
Everybody thought that OR Kazuya thought that every fighters tried to beat and defeated Heihachi, but. I thought Heihachi was a good person in the beginning and now he's back like a "bad to the bone" and I'm like, 'He's going to regret this once again!'
Utterly garbage. Not only harada failed what "ressurection" mean. He intends to continue this father vs son blood feud again. I admit Heihachi did became powerful monk with god like power but story wise is utterly garbage. I was hoping that heihachi and reina might find a new rivalry within the tekken monks or some one from outside beside kazuya and jin. Lidia would make a fine rivalry aganist reina then heihachi aganist a equally powerful new character. But nope we get see a recycle father vs son again. Utterly garbage.
I was not a fan when announced but now I really don't like it. Thry made one of 7's only decent bits AND THE ENTIRE SERIES feel pointless and even insulting in the wake of this . I was hoping for very little but I imagined "hey I bet it'll be a good or interesting story " but fuck no. This is one of the weakest story modes I've seen and for literally nothing to ultimately have been accomplished this is a waste several times over. A waste for weight and investment in long term storytelling A waste of time and effort for most any, be it dev or fan A waste of money Waste of characters utilized Worst of all to me, a waste for what could be. Now that devil and angel are out, I thought it cool/promising to imagine pure human kazuya and Jin destroying each orher with real consequence under human limitations but now? Just another 3 way dance, all after so many years of that status quo. Maybe it at least wouldn't feel as bad if it was the fucking second piece of extra paid content mere months after base launched. Now heihachi is obviously stronger which only becomes worse as time goes on. Such a copout too. Im annoyed they used 5's opening theme motif for fighting and a obvious reference to dark resurrection intro. Gotta love how baek, and wang perma died but he's alive?! They should have waited longer for surprise and impact, like with jun. How he was added before anna or chrisi, master raven hell even ganryu. This delivered only on my most feared outcomes. My faith, stupid as ever has nothing to blame over my self hoping in moronic minded moderatism. I think i almost prefer lucky chloe and her ending / her and eddy. What would have worked way better but still surprisingly justifiable, have it be jinpachi! It fits better. Honestly im very upset. People dunk on 6 story and in general but even though biaeed biased I think it a master work compared to this disgrace. Abhorrent usage of resources and squandered trust to fatten always over flowing corporate coffers. How many times has he resurrected at tgis point!? One too many! Add him as non canonical character for fans to use without trashing the timeline. I honestly can't get behind this, and 8 sometimes feels similarly and even though i do like it and actually loved the story before this but i feel close to giving up fan status and being done, throwing arms up in exasperation. This feels slimy and just downright manipulative and insulting. Id rather the 7 interviewer/ or nancy to come back as well even. What are fans supposed to care about or hold to when nothing makes sense or lacks weight constantly tripping over itself at behest of more bucks a billion. I fucking hate it. I was excited after devil/angel disappeared, loved it even bur this is the far more extreme (already problematic) reappeared jun. Everything is wrong and gross Thanks for nothing Namco Bandai
Jin need to find a way to bring back his Devil or Angel bec Heihachi is a God now and Reina has a Devil i dont know of Kazuya but i hope he has a Redemption arc in 9, he is still the Face of Tekken series since 1st game
Reina acts like Xigbar from Kingdom Hearts. She knows everything and everyone. She has Intel about all things (even though she's still a teen?) and she's a big snoop plus mysterious.
Those stupid monks. They should've just left Heihachi to die in that volcano. Now he'll take his rightful place to throw the world into chaos as the main antagonist in Tekken 9.
i still hate how they bring back heihachi.. reina is already a great replacement for heihachi, she even got his moves.. y'all able to make jun stay dead in the canon, yet you can't do that to heihachi? what? marketing for the game? or for his fans? dude, his fans prefer him to stay dead bro..
@@jonathandear4914 yea, that ending also question me.. but it's just different with heihachi.. that ending in tekken 7 was already a great ending for him.. while jun's dead was kinda a mystery
Mortal Kombat tried that and has rebooted 3 times now because shocker people want to play with their favorite characters. Soul Calibur also tried it and it killed the series.
@@wolfman210and Tekken itself did it and is the most well regarded game in the series. Same with Fatal Fury. Wich BTW solved that problem ages ago with Nightmare Geese.

Still better than that AI generated DLC story mode in MK1
Toss off a cliff, had a bomb strapped to his neck, spiked out of a Aztec temple, nuked out of his dojo by a dog pile of Jack 5 units, buried alive for 2 months and survived a Messatsu. Does surviving Lava really surprise you? Lol
Who the fuck cares. You don't play fighting games for the story. It's called a FIGHTING GAME for a reason lol nobody gives a shit about the story
@lllool8404 af6 world tour you at least learn more about the characters,not.....whatever this crap was
He headbutted the meteor now he remembers.
He headbutt it ....not land
Absolute bullshit. It would have been the lava he would have fallen into which would have buffed him.
Usually that’s when they lose their memory
I was expecting his "resurrection" to be more supernatural, but ok.
Tbf, they never actually showed him hit the lava, as if they already considered bringing him back. Shouldn't Kazuya have seen it, tho?
The memory loss makes sense. Loss of blood flow to the brain could cause that. And a meteor to the head fixing all that is just funny.
I wonder who Season 1's fourth character would be. Ppl speculated Jinpachi. Was he secretly trained by the Monks?
Maybe we should blame Akuma for distracting Kazuya before he can see Heihachi reach the magma
kazuya did fight akuma(who unless he comes back to fully finish things pretty much lost that fight.) after could see that distracting him/called it something saved heihachi from hitting the lava.
do find funny(if sad that jin finally got rid of his curse/made peace with himself only to end up having the fight the old bastard who alongside his wife is at fault for all the tragedy that happened to him.)that jin & kazuya's fight is what ended up awakening heihachi to his old self again headbutting the arena they fought on.
love that moment with jin & eddy(really hope christie gets added.:3) though wish yoshimitsu got an actual fight scene/nina just really makes me wish we'd see anna return as i way prefer her.
could see jinpachi being sent by jun and kazuya(with how he doesn't have the devil gene anymore could give him actual moments with him as his 5 ending did show he still cared for his grandpa before his lust for power took over to morbidly troll him.) going with him to stop heihachi(can't see outside a guest character/really old obscure character anyone that'd top heihachi reviving in that season finale.).
Fahkumram
Shadow Heihachi sounded alot like Jinpachi. TBH I hope it's the smaller or larger mishima monk. Wana see what that birdmask dude can do with his staff
I think the supernatual part is the memory stuff. I thought maybe the monks influenced his memory loss just like they were worried they might influence it back when the other monk used the smoke. Maybe that meteor had devil/angel stuff involved too. Or just acquiring the ultimate move is a spiritual thing that did it.
There’s another style besides kazama that is used to fight demons and it’s the Mishima style of all things. Actually that makes a lot sense since heihachi was able to go toe to toe against Jin and Kazuya.
Heihachi has some of connection with Raijin's lightning within his bloodline.
In Shinto and Buddhism, Raijin is a God, warrior-protector who brings both destruction and life.
Raijin is more a trickster than a malevolent figure.
Like how Sun Wukong emulates and does what he wants as a god and an all powerful figure.
Both of the top monks shown, Seiryu and Suzaka also have the lightning power.
Seiryuu the azure dragon
Suzaku the vermillion bird
Heihachi a.k.a byakko the white tiger(He wears the mask)
Genbu the black tortoise
All of them named after the four cardinal beasts aka four Holy Beasts. They are "divine".
@@sevionus80Not Raijin, Susano'o. Who is a storm god, though.
@@MrGksarathy It's raijin not susanoo. The Tekken monks has been using the mishima fighting style since the beginning. There's no indication that susanoo is the mishimas ancestors or worshiip as a deity.
@@sevionus80 agree. The mishimas clan has connection to both raijin and fujin.
@@ronaldlalisan5592 Did you see the mural at the very beginning of Tekken 8 when the narration mentioned the Mishima's patron god. That showed Susano'o defeating the Yamato-no-Orochi. He is a god of storms, so that could easily explain the lightning and wind motifs in the Mishima style.
Might as well bring back heihachi's dad if no one can stay dead.

Question is what would Jinpanchi's role in the storyline same with Kazumi if resurrected
Jinpachi would literally be on Jin and Jun side the whole reason Heihachi killed his dad was because his need for power and want to conquer the world jinpachi didn’t have that problem and was more peaceful but could still whoop your ass if need be

One heck of a mystery
Unfortunately, they assumed people would be confused. Mishima conflict for another 100 years!
So much for “the end of Mishima saga”
Don't really care, he was hype AF in this dlc and has fun gameplay.
Yeah that's what I was hoping.
His death was well done and the main story for Tekken 8 seemed to finally put an end to the story between Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin.
But no, fuck it. Heihachi is back which means once again it's Jin versus Heihachi with Kazuya somehow dragged into it. At least this time Jin is back to being the actual hero again.
"Good guy Heihachi isn't real, he can't hurt you"
Good guy Heihachi:
Im not gonna lie I kinda wish he could have stayed as good guy heihachi for a bit longer. That struggle with his past self trying to break out and him even beating it was very interesting, it would’ve been fun to see that version of Hei face Jin, and possibly even Kazuya before finally reverting back to evil. It was a cool as heck effect though, the source of evil is from the spike in his hair lol.

He was actually growing on me, and I also wanted to see more about the monks' priorities because they clearly disapproved of Heihachi as he was, but seemingly prioritized completing their technique more. If they had waited a bit longer, I feel Jin would have been the perfect candidate.

The story doesn't move forward at all. We're just back to 3 guys trying to kill each other again.
Not really. Kazuya has his devil gene removed and so does Jin as well. Now that they're both normal humans, they're pretty much at the strength they were before the devil gene stuff. Interesting things is, I think Jim still has his mother's power sleeping in him and will most likely play a part with Reina.

Well, Raven did do something in this iteration, but nothing really important.

Yeahh
Kazuya: *WHY! WON’T! YOU! JUST! DIE?!*
"Nanomachines, Son!"
I don’t wanna be that guy, but I’m pretty sure kazuya literally watched him fall into the volcano, besides this doesn’t answer my questions, what happened after kazuya was defeated? How was Reina born? How does she have the Devil gene? Is Kazuya’s Devil gene truly gone? Does Jin still have his angelic powers? I’m so lost story was good until they brought heihaci back then they had to make up stuff on the fly but this was inevitable
There’s a lore tab where u can read Reina’s origin story…it’s there
After killing Kazumi, Heihachi murdered the rest of the Hachijo family but spared one woman and that woman is Reina’s mother. Also Jun gave Jin his Angel power which was only temporary so both him and Kazuya no longer have the devil’s power.
@@shadicrobin1200Pretty sure Jin still has his Kazama power. Angel Jin was a manifestation of that, I think.

I don't know but I can't believe they did Yoshimitsu this dirty, He is too OP!!! Correct me if I am wrong that Yoshimitsu is stronger than Heihachi.
Pppfffttt lololol he most certainly has never been 😆
He should have spammed flash 😂
BRUUH, He is op in LORE. Harada forgot Yoshi lore that's why!!
Sadly this is pretty accurate for him. The few victories he ever achieved were mostly him using tricks. His biggest win was stealing the Zaibatsu's vault filled with wealth in Tekken 4 and that's not even him in an actual fight.
Heihachi is leagues above Yoshi. Yoshi isn't 'weak' so to say, but compared to a lot of other characters, he's often overpowered by them. He has the potential to be a lot stronger but he chooses to use most of his strength to suppress the evil blade of his by the same name because he's a morally good character. If he went eff it and went evil, he'd go up considerably.
TLDR, He's always weakened by his sword as a result he's one of the chars that take the most Ls.
No, he's not. He beat Ganryu in T1, Kunimitsu in T2 and has no further confirmed victories since then. Additionally, the strain of keeping his sword at bay has been weakening him since T6.

10:20 Eddy shrugged off that massive explosion like it was nothing!
What were they thinking ? Heihachi losing his memories is a "blessing" until he recover them 😂😂😂
It's gonna be Kazuya vs Heihachi all over again, this time Kazuya unrelunctantly going to be joined up with his son Jin to stop him and Jun convincing him not to kill his delusional father this time. Kazuya is the only Mishima remaining who still didn't get a proper redemption story.
Honestly with everything that Heihachi has done he deserves to die.
This is just classic fighting game story, no one ever truly dies.
I just don’t know whether I’m on board with the way Heihachi surviving being “a man caught him before he fell into the lava”
If he can survive a pile of Jack 4s exploding on him, I could totally see him just shrugging off a lava bath. It’d be hilarious since it’d mean basically NOTHING can kill him.
Its amusing how people to this day still try to use logic to understand and explain Tekken, to me the borderline of understanding Tekken is this
1. You can't trust any of the Mishimas (Jinpachi is the only exception to me), Jin broke my trust with the world war regardless of the reason
2. Heihachi can only be nice to Kuma, Reina may show affection to Heihachi or care about him but if its not Kuma am pretty sure that old man will betray everyone even Reina, he only using her coz she got the potential to spice things up in the family otherwise she got no other use and i could also say the same about the remaining unnamed children of Heihachi, just mere tools
3. Just go with the flow of Tekken and trust the process
I'm pretty sure he genuinely likes Xiaoyu. She's like the daughter he never had... until now, I guess.
Not really he likes xiaoyu and lars is also a white sheep Lee and in got redeeme
I was kinda hoping hehachi survived the lava in a more badass/supernatural kind of way….i mean the guy literally survived getting blown up point blank by Jack robots….was practically a mini nuke
Why did'nt the Tekken monks choose Jin who is NOT evil as opposed to Heihachi ?
he had the devil gene
Jin not evil? He started WW3!
Kazumi was right all along.....
😂
Her clan was wiped out after she died and reina is the last hahcijo
So now it's Jin (maybe Kazuya and Jun) vs Heihachi, Reina and more of Heihachi's devil kids.

Bro why is no one talking about the Tekken 3 intro playing during Eddy’s entrance at Midnight Siege 😭😭😭🔥🔥
This! I noticed it right away.
Honestly eddys part seems like the best part of this dlc story. As much as I may be disappointed with the story direction of this dlc, their music callbacks are on point!
I may have missed some but there is even some heihachis theme from Tekken 2 in his end fights and desperate struggle at the very end after he has defeated them all. Plus the Tekken 6 opening when eddy and jin are fighting. The music callbacks in the main story were some of the highlights too!
I knew that music sounded familiar.
It's nice to see that 2 of my favorite characters, Eddie and Yoshi, Are in the spotlight of the story? I was really disappointed, especially when I saw Yoshi in the opening.
I understand that this side story gives DLC characters more screentime, but couldn't Yoshimitsu get at least one or two fights? Why is he getting sidelined so much? 😭😭😭
Comes back and just starts kicking people off cliffs again lmao😂. Like bro who hurt you 🤣
Aww man, i actually like Hulk Hogan Heihachi. Well, maybe the 4th character will be Akuma, since he had a relationship with Heihachi's wife or maybe one of the monks or Jinpachi or Marduk. Namco seems to enjoy bringing dead characters back to life lol. Thanks for the game review
40:31 This family really can't help themselves when they are by cliffs, can't they XD
When I saw good Heihachi, I thought Harada meant the old evil Heihachi is completely dead. Then I saw nothing changed except the gameplay.
Main story: 6.5/10
Characters endings: 5/10 (majority of them)
Dlc: 2/10???? 😐😐😐
Ling Xiayou: *So how was your day out Jin?*
Jin: *It was fine just the usual sparred with Eddy, hung out with Lars, and also Heihachi is alive*
Xiayou: *Oh that's nice.... wait what the f***???*
In my opinion, this story is not bad. Like the main story and unlike MK1, it is not a reboot and continues to answer some plot threads from previous games while attempting to add a few new story elements. Also, the running joke that Mishimas don’t die is one of the many things that makes the series memorable.
yeah people go straight from laughing at their immortality then to hating on it for some reason.
This story is as outrageous as every other Tekken game I’ve played since Tekken 3 and Tag. Maybe the complainers are new? As soon as I saw Jin drive off of a building and throw a motorcycle at Kazuya’s helicopter, all I could think was “Aaahh, good old Tekken…”
😆😆
I will say I did like that both Heihachi and JIn went through a trail to face the darker part of themselves. Heihachi failed were JIn succeeded shown how Jin kept descending further into his psyche don't to the roots while Heihachi practically stalemated with a loss and a win, still struggling with his crave for power absolute. Jin redirection of the Mishima style and it's roots as a martial art to fight the wicked like his Kazama roots, Kazuya defeat in the front of Jin's definition of power, along with Reina and Heihachi are gonna make for an interesting story line.

I've heard of overcompensating, but Seiryu's beads are next level.
Considering Heihachi casually went and killed all the monks as the first thing after getting his memories back, I wonder what their plan was if he didn't have convenient amnesia when they rescued him
I just love the implication that all Tekken characters are secret geniuses that speak every language including Kingspeech.
Then why the hell they can't sme language? I mean pretty much dev Or the audience are living in under some smoke

@@lodivtyeah the story is pointless
@@lodivt would he even care?
Nah Kazuya will finish him off. He will come back stronger after his defeat. I felt Kazuya was conflicted during the battle against his son because he could have killed him but choose not to because of Jun.
The moment he was like "Y-yes I will put Kazuya back on the straight and narrow" I knew exactly what would happen. It didn't make it any better when I saw the monks on the floor. The whole time I was like and yall saying Kazuya is the villain.
Head butted a meteor causing it to break and got his memory and iconic hairstyle back….lmfao this is the true Tekken Resurrection….but lowkey most bad intro walking out the smoke with nothing but a slight sunburn and sweat😂😂😂
Heihachi with hair down looks like Liquid Ocelot
ahh that reminds me of that time, in tekken 1, and tekken 3, and tekken 5,... i was sure they would bring him back from the moment they said he is not gonna be in the game, before it's launch.. been there, saw that...one too many times.
Despite the negative reaction from most fan and that includes me, I appreciate they unintentionally grant my wish to see Lidia as protagonist to Tekken story like this because I always feel like Lidia is worthy to be protagonist of some story since she first appeared as newcomer, giving Yoshimitsu a screentime too
This reminds me to Star Wars The Clone Wars and Tales Of The Jedi when the story giving us an insight to a different side of same story like Ahsoka was on Mandalore when Anakin killed Count Dooku in Revenge Of The Sith
Yeah but she lost to heihachi still and next story dlcs will have other characters
Yeah but she was doomed to lose against heihachi
RIP Good Heihachi
Everybody thought that OR Kazuya thought that every fighters tried to beat and defeated Heihachi, but. I thought Heihachi was a good person in the beginning and now he's back like a "bad to the bone" and I'm like, 'He's going to regret this once again!'
I love this Heihachi comes back from the dead and curb stomps everyone in his story
jin is probably the only one who could learn this technique
“Somehow, Heihachi returned”
Utterly garbage. Not only harada failed what "ressurection" mean. He intends to continue this father vs son blood feud again. I admit Heihachi did became powerful monk with god like power but story wise is utterly garbage. I was hoping that heihachi and reina might find a new rivalry within the tekken monks or some one from outside beside kazuya and jin. Lidia would make a fine rivalry aganist reina then heihachi aganist a equally powerful new character. But nope we get see a recycle father vs son again. Utterly garbage.
Evil or not, Heihachi still destroyed a meteorite that lessened the damage of the area.
I guess jin and heihachi feud in the next tekken series
Im Brazilian and just now i realized that eddy gordo dub is pretty bad😂
I was not a fan when announced but now I really don't like it. Thry made one of 7's only decent bits AND THE ENTIRE SERIES feel pointless and even insulting in the wake of this .
I was hoping for very little but I imagined "hey I bet it'll be a good or interesting story " but fuck no.
This is one of the weakest story modes I've seen and for literally nothing to ultimately have been accomplished this is a waste several times over.
A waste for weight and investment in long term storytelling
A waste of time and effort for most any, be it dev or fan
A waste of money
Waste of characters utilized
Worst of all to me, a waste for what could be.
Now that devil and angel are out, I thought it cool/promising to imagine pure human kazuya and Jin destroying each orher with real consequence under human limitations but now?
Just another 3 way dance, all after so many years of that status quo.
Maybe it at least wouldn't feel as bad if it was the fucking second piece of extra paid content mere months after base launched.
Now heihachi is obviously stronger which only becomes worse as time goes on.
Such a copout too.
Im annoyed they used 5's opening theme motif for fighting and a obvious reference to dark resurrection intro.
Gotta love how baek, and wang perma died but he's alive?!
They should have waited longer for surprise and impact, like with jun.

What would have worked way better but still surprisingly justifiable, have it be jinpachi!
It fits better.
Honestly im very upset.
People dunk on 6 story and in general but even though biaeed biased I think it a master work compared to this disgrace.
Abhorrent usage of resources and squandered trust to fatten always over flowing corporate coffers. How many times has he resurrected at tgis point!? One too many!
Add him as non canonical character for fans to use without trashing the timeline. I honestly can't get behind this, and 8 sometimes feels similarly and even though i do like it and actually loved the story before this but i feel close to giving up fan status and being done, throwing arms up in exasperation. This feels slimy and just downright manipulative and insulting.
Id rather the 7 interviewer/ or nancy to come back as well even.
What are fans supposed to care about or hold to when nothing makes sense or lacks weight constantly tripping over itself at behest of more bucks a billion.

Yes
As of Tag 2, almost everyone started speaking their native language
