you do knwo your going to have redo thsi video now thart dlc story for tekken 8 is gonig to be thing as if you dont re do then this wodo no longer bte the full tekken
Great recap, I know very little about Tekken lore. Other than the fact that there's a bear, some guy wearing a jaguar mask, and that the main characters have this weird obsession with throwing people off mountains. This really helped break it all down. Appreciate it!
I'm pretty sure it's to continue the ogre powers needing devil gene plot and withoit jin or kaz having the genes right now it means it should be a nice one sided beat down ( reina already top 5 without awakening her gene)
i hope new fans interested in the lore realize that tekken 7 is told from Heihachi’s pov and he is an unreliable narrator. T7 storyline was his propaganda
Tekken 1 and 2 those two games was something else in its time, Tekken 3 was a Beautiful way to end the serious in that Old Gen even letting U put in other CDS to play the other Endings....Tekken 4 may always be the One Tekken that Feels brand new, Tekken Tag 1 brought everything together Like MUGEN on PC, Tekken 5 was a Dream come True and Tekken 6 was Complete Perfection Tekken Tag 2 is what Made Levels to the Game...But when Tekken Revolution dropped and they started adding Breaker moves that would lead them to have Supers in the Game in Tekken 7 it was Truly the Death of Tekken 😢
What an amazing video ! I've been playing since Tekken 2 and I loved the transitions between the games using the intro music to introduce each game. Thanks for making this 🙏🏾
Ah snap, Tekken 2 was where I started too 😅 Thanks so much, really glad you liked the transitions between games I had a lot of fun putting those together. Thanks again for the kind words and really glad you enjoyed the video
I haven’t played a Tekken since tekken 3 when i was a kid. Decided to get tekken 8 and the game is great. Needed to catch up on the lore tho. Thanks for the vid.
Glad you're enjoying Tekken 8, and it brought you back to the series. Thanks for watching, and glad the video could help you get caught up with the story again
I’ve been on a Tekken History lust for the past few days and I really enjoyed your video! I was very pleasing to watch and complementary with the others I could find. Great documenting job and footage mister 👏 Thank you for the hard work 🙏
LOVEDDDDD this!!! :D TY so much! I first played Tekken when I was 7 years old on the first playstation. I am 36 years old and will always love Tekken. I wish they made more movies of it like they did with Mortal Kombat
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it! Yes I don't know the date yet but there is new story content coming, when it's out I'll definitely be making a video on it
Amazing Tekken lore video, my first tekken game was tekken 7 and i was very confuse with the story and with tekken 8 out i was even more confuse but thanks to your explanation it made way more sense
Never understood why people liked Kazuya over Jin, other than him being the first protagonist, casuing nostalgia to kick in. To me he's pretty much just emperor palpatine, one-dimensional pure evil. Not very interesting.
@@JustinSeizure Kazuya being one dimensional? The guy who has severe ptsd and never felt love in his life but still respects his son while his father never respected him? That Kazuya?
@@TheBigIronOnMyHip PTSD? I see no signs of that. Only rage and hatred. Respects his son?? You mean that single time during their last fight in T8? I swear you guys have just thought up stuff in your own heads through assumptions. The story doesn't convey those notions at all as far as I can tell. Is Kazuya cool AF and an awesome FG char? Absolutely. Is he a deep, interesting and unique character? Hardly. He is a well made cookie cutter villain. His story, while horrible, is generic and straight forward. It's Tekken, not Breaking Bad. And that's fine. Just don't pretend it's deeper than it is.
Great video. Very detailed (update. According to the Classified Archives of The T8 DLC, Kazuya Defeated Heihachi in the Finals before taking him to Honmaru. The story was retconned 🙄)
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it! Also thanks for the info! Super useful as I'm working on a video covering the new DLC chapterd and all the new story stuff it includes. Hopefully they don't randomly decide to retcon anything else 😅
I really Love the Tekken Series so much, it is actually my Favorite Fighting Game, my Favorite's are Tekken 5, and Tekken 6, but I haven't Played Tekken 7 or 8 yet, somehow soon in the Future, when I get a Steam Deck.
Its funny ive played every tekken since ps1 days and have been a hardcore fan of the gameplay i never really cared much about the story, but now Im enjoying the lore. Makes it feel more complete for me 😂 and must tell a lot about me subconsciously......I always play the villans 😮
A theory I have, especially now that Heihachi is apparently come back to life is that Reina sold her soul to the devil and became a devil herself to bring back Heihachi.
Nobody "sold" their soul at any point though. It's a gene. It's in their blood at birth for whatever reason, or manipulated afterwards which could be Reinas case
I understand that the devil gene is what made Jin and Kazuya strong, but what was it that made Heihachi strong. He survived close-range explosions, he was able to stand after being blasted with Kazuya's devil gene beam, and he had some sort of white lightning power. Does the lore explain where the Mishima get their powers from?
I don't understand how Reina got the devil form when it was given to Kazuya by Kazumi, not Heihachi. I'm going to assume that Reinas mother was from the same clan as Kazumi.
That's all we got at the moment I guess. We know he was experimenting though, so maybe he was successful in what he thought wasn't a success many years ago and abandoned.
There is no game franchise better than tekken. I remember in 94 when it dropped at the michigan fun center and we were all on mk then one day all of a sudden this game came out and mk was done.
@@B.Piercesports Slop but not as bad as Tekken. Tekken is based around characters nobody actually cares about. If Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin were killed off the series would improve. How the fuck did you go from Bruce to Josie? Why does Lucky Chloe exist?
It's about rich people who are crazy about martial arts and power, throwing tournaments to prove themself, and throwing theirs sons at cliffs and volcanos. also making pacts with the devil and became the devil themselves...I LOVE TEKKEN SO MUCH
Yes, they have a new chapter to explain how he's still alive, I'm just editing a video explaining it all at the moment which I should hopefully be able to finish soon
So what I got from all this is -Heihachi is evil and wants power -Kazuya is evil and wants power -Jin is slightly less evil -They wall want to kill each other -None of them can die -And there's also a bear
Thanks for watching, they have just officially retconed this with the new archives added I am making a video on all the new story and lore added in the DLC and will be mentioning this change. But when I made the script for this video this was what Harrada said was the canon ending from Tekken 4: "(Three endings are partially canonical in Tekken 4, the first part of Heihachi's, the middle part of Kazuya's, and all of Jin's. Heihachi is the winner of the fourth tournament, having beaten Kazuya in the final round. (The battle at Hon-Maru takes place outside the tournament). Kazuya's Tekken 5 character profile confirms that he lost to his father in the fourth tournament.)"
@RESRetro That's strange, because in Jin's Tekken 4 ending, Kazuya says, "Rise, Kazama Jin!", which seems to happen in accordance to Kazuya ending while Heihachi is nowhere to be seen during Kazuya's command to Jin, and I'm assuming Heihachi's absence is due to him being blown out the door from Kazuya's Laser, and after Jin defeats Kazuya, Heihachi emerges from being unconscious and walks to Kazuya's unconscious body and says, "What a pathetic wretch...you worthless coward!" Kazuya winning Tekken 4 by default makes sense from the lore's perspective.

Have i already watched 4 different tekken story videos? Yes
Am i gonna watch another one? Yes
Haha, I'm totally the same that's how I ended up wanting to make my own 😂
thanks so much for watching,
Hope you enjoyed the video!
Have I already forgotten everything I didn't play myself again? Also yes
Same
Out of all the Tekken Lore videos I've seen, this one is the most updated I've seen. Very well managed and narrated. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words,
Really glad you enjoyed the video!
Yeah it was perfect, telling stories from Tekken 3, having the logo of tekken three, and saying that all that happened in tekken 4, what a bullshit
Great recap, I know very little about Tekken lore. Other than the fact that there's a bear, some guy wearing a jaguar mask, and that the main characters have this weird obsession with throwing people off mountains. This really helped break it all down. Appreciate it!
I think Reina is just a way to prolong the series, but the Jin Versus Kazuya is already such a perfect and poetic ending to it all
yeah they wanted to add a random ass villain to an already convoluted story
I'm pretty sure it's to continue the ogre powers needing devil gene plot and withoit jin or kaz having the genes right now it means it should be a nice one sided beat down ( reina already top 5 without awakening her gene)
no dude its not no that was not perfac ending hedra todl you tekken 9 is the end of the sere sso ntoin is be preologned
@@ssjgotenks2009 if it sells itll keep sellinh
Tekken Tag Tournament 3 boss is going to be interesting. The Great Unknown, Reina with Unknown, Ogre's and devil gene powers.
i hope new fans interested in the lore realize that tekken 7 is told from Heihachi’s pov and he is an unreliable narrator. T7 storyline was his propaganda
So in his own narration he dies
@@tableprinterdoor don’t play dumb. you know what parts i’m speaking about
You did imply the totality of tekken 7. Dont play dumb acting like what you said is not dumb. Fighting game players always with the micro agression
As someone who joined the tekken community midway into tekken 7 (thanks to akuma), thank you for the well done story walkthrough!
I joined tekken community back in tekken tag tournament 2
I joined it since Tekken 3 and my brother since Tekken 2. He is the family's game freak.

Probably one of the better tekken story videos but it's a beast!
For someone who doesn't have any devil genes and is an 80 years old man , Hihachi is a gangster
all the Mishimas are Gangstas
The Mishima's are the Japanese version of The Tejada's and St Patrick's combined
I love how throughout the years, you can see how the graphics get smoother and detailed.
LOVEDDDDD this!!! :D TY so much! I first played Tekken when I was 7 years old on the first playstation. I am 36 years old and will always love Tekken. I wish they made more movies of it like they did with Mortal Kombat

Really glad that the video helped out
i love how the story progressively gets longer each and every game and how it reflects on the video's episodes
Jin walks by in typical jin fashion 😂😂
I used to not like jin but after tekken 8 i have a new found respect for him. But Kazuya still reigns supreme.
Never understood why people liked Kazuya over Jin, other than him being the first protagonist, casuing nostalgia to kick in. To me he's pretty much just emperor palpatine, one-dimensional pure evil. Not very interesting.
@@JustinSeizure if we’re going based off your logic Jin is anakin skywalker
@@D4C413 I guess you could make that comparison, although I don't think it fits as well.

TLDW for literally all of Tekken lore:
"BUT HE LIVED!"
Got into Tekken 7 and im hooked
Tekken 7 is such a great game, it was the first one that really made me want to try and learn all of the characters
Very nicely put together!
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it!
Another beast of a vid 🔥Well done!
Great video hopefully we get a part 2 with the new DLC story added
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
Been working on a little script to cover the DLC, so hopefully I can get that out quite soon 👀

I started with 3 as a kid but fell off between 5 and 6, great vid!

Looking to serve up some more soon!
That meme of Jin walking past his mother still leaves baffled 😂
Great video nice for your hard work
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed the video!
I still think Reina has a connection to ogre - aka the successful clone he made with the DNA
Yes I agree, I think that Ogre's DNA and the cloning experiments are too big of a plot point to not have a significant impact on the plot
Maybe Reina is a mix of Jun, Ogre, and Heihachi.
@@MajorLiquidity jin is more likely since heihachi captured him in 4
A Little late to the party but I'm going to enjoy this one
30:47 - I bet Heihachi pinned this paper on his refrigerator door at some point. Proud Dad of the Year!
This was excellent!
Great video.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video 👏🏼👏🏼
43:41 that one final blow is known as The Parricide Fist
I absolutely love that they named it that and added it to Kazuya's moveset in T8
@RESRetro I also love it too
I really Love the Tekken Series so much, it is actually my Favorite Fighting Game, my Favorite's are Tekken 5, and Tekken 6, but I haven't Played Tekken 7 or 8 yet, somehow soon in the Future, when I get a Steam Deck.
Showing up at Tekken 8 be crazy
Tekken 5 still has the best intro out of all the games.
I think a massive missed opportunity would’ve been a battle of monsters with Azazel vs True Ogre…..that would’ve been amazing to see
Can’t wait to watch this 👍🏿new sub
🙏 Thank you for the support my man, I hope you enjoy it!
8 went full anime with the power of friendship and frieza death balls lol
It really did, the angel jin transformation was really giving me super saiyan vibes too 😅
this is dope
Those damn Mishimas😒 I'm curious about Reina
"As the Devil Jin takes over, transforming him into... Devil!"
Its funny ive played every tekken since ps1 days and have been a hardcore fan of the gameplay i never really cared much about the story, but now Im enjoying the lore. Makes it feel more complete for me 😂 and must tell a lot about me subconsciously......I always play the villans 😮
Kazuya, Jun and Jin deserved better, Tekken needs to end with the family being together and showcasing a healthy rivalry against Kazuya and Jin.
A theory I have, especially now that Heihachi is apparently come back to life is that Reina sold her soul to the devil and became a devil herself to bring back Heihachi.
Nobody "sold" their soul at any point though. It's a gene. It's in their blood at birth for whatever reason, or manipulated afterwards which could be Reinas case
What is the name of the song used at 44:47 ?
I understand that the devil gene is what made Jin and Kazuya strong, but what was it that made Heihachi strong. He survived close-range explosions, he was able to stand after being blasted with Kazuya's devil gene beam, and he had some sort of white lightning power. Does the lore explain where the Mishima get their powers from?
The thunder God 🤷♂️
I think it's chi.
I got akuma on my shoulder dude is a game changer lol
Well, Heihachi Mishima,.... is ALIVE, you can narrate the next Tekken 8 storyline soon,.......
Thanks
thanks for watching!
Great video.
But what does "dorya" mean?🤔
Hey thanks for watching!
I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's just a kind of battle cry so I don't believe it has direct meaning/translation
@@RESRetro I don't buy that. There has to be a translation, you can't throw it around with no meaning
King, Eddy, Yoshimitsu and Sergei deserve to be the faces on the franchise.
All these years I never knew that mean ass dude was his father
I don't understand how Reina got the devil form when it was given to Kazuya by Kazumi, not Heihachi.
I'm going to assume that Reinas mother was from the same clan as Kazumi.
That's all we got at the moment I guess. We know he was experimenting though, so maybe he was successful in what he thought wasn't a success many years ago and abandoned.
Tekken 8 creators really liked Naruto.
There is no game franchise better than tekken. I remember in 94 when it dropped at the michigan fun center and we were all on mk then one day all of a sudden this game came out and mk was done.
Meanwhile Tekken is dead while MK is still alive while being slop.
@Euro.Patriot lol you really think that
@@B.Piercesports Yeah I do, Tekken is nothing now. Bad gameplay, bad stories, bad characters, just microtransactions.
@Euro.Patriot what you think mk is now?

the track is the intro song for Tekken Tag Tournament: th-cam.com/video/5QVG9jY8EZ0/w-d-xo.html
@@RESRetro thanks man 👊
Tekken Tag had the best cut scenes
This family loves cliffs and volcanoes 😂
Watching this because i bought tekken 8 recently and im not gonna play story mode unless i have complete knowledge
You’d think the Mishimas would take a lesson from the Highlander and removed the heads of their enemies. 😅
Didn’t jin had amnesia in tekken 4 and learned a new style
It's about rich people who are crazy about martial arts and power, throwing tournaments to prove themself, and throwing theirs sons at cliffs and volcanos. also making pacts with the devil and became the devil themselves...I LOVE TEKKEN SO MUCH
HEIHACHI DID NOTHING WRONG!
Worst dad of the year
@@Thebeastofthelantern EWGF u, bro.
@@Thebeastofthelanternidkm kazuya might be tied with him there
Jin killed a bigger score of innocents than Hitler, by waging war on the war.
You're factually incorrect
and now heihachi is back again ?
Yes, they have a new chapter to explain how he's still alive, I'm just editing a video explaining it all at the moment which I should hopefully be able to finish soon
Tekken 4 Story was amazingn
Takken is like the Baki of the fighting game genre
Ogre is a shoutout to Hanma
Absolute cinema
So what I got from all this is
-Heihachi is evil and wants power
-Kazuya is evil and wants power
-Jin is slightly less evil
-They wall want to kill each other
-None of them can die
-And there's also a bear
-And a dinosaur
48:30 TYPICAL JIN FASHION
The only 3 characters i ever played w in tekken😂😅 jin jun kazuya...maybe yoshi and kuni
so thats what reina is ogre and devil gene nice
And now the main antagonist of Tekken 9 is gonna be Reina herself i guess
Depends on how DLC goes, but I got that feeling after beating the story too
Tekken 8s story seems so weak by comparison. I love tekken 8, but everything leading up to it is so kool (minus akuma being canon).
I grew up playing tekken 7
15:00 I thought Kazuya defeated Heihachi according to the lore.
Thanks for watching, they have just officially retconed this with the new archives added I am making a video on all the new story and lore added in the DLC and will be mentioning this change.
But when I made the script for this video this was what Harrada said was the canon ending from Tekken 4:
"(Three endings are partially canonical in Tekken 4, the first part of Heihachi's, the middle part of Kazuya's, and all of Jin's. Heihachi is the winner of the fourth tournament, having beaten Kazuya in the final round. (The battle at Hon-Maru takes place outside the tournament). Kazuya's Tekken 5 character profile confirms that he lost to his father in the fourth tournament.)"
@RESRetro That's strange, because in Jin's Tekken 4 ending, Kazuya says, "Rise, Kazama Jin!", which seems to happen in accordance to Kazuya ending while Heihachi is nowhere to be seen during Kazuya's command to Jin, and I'm assuming Heihachi's absence is due to him being blown out the door from Kazuya's Laser, and after Jin defeats Kazuya, Heihachi emerges from being unconscious and walks to Kazuya's unconscious body and says, "What a pathetic wretch...you worthless coward!"
Kazuya winning Tekken 4 by default makes sense from the lore's perspective.

just like in jojo part 4, so it's the same in tekken 6. Lars is the young uncle of Jin, and a brother to Kazuya. Damn
