This game really shows how much the devil gene has taken over Kazuya to a point where even his Grandfather, the person he actually looked up to, is meaningless to him in the end.
But didn't Kazuya assimilate his Devil form completely in T4? Even Devil was shocked when Kaz did that. I think that from T5 onwards, it's Kazuya who went full heel.
@@martinaguiluz4063 Naw that was Tekken 2 for sure. The fact alone that the Mishima Zaibatsu got into far more illicit activities under Kazuya's control proves this. The devil gene kicks it into overdrive in later games.
@@mr.awesome6011 I think you have it backwards man😅. In Tekken 4 it's stated that G corp "helped" Kazuya on studying the Devil gene, and at the end, Devil takes over Kazuya for a brief moment but then Kazuya finally assimilated Devil. Yes, Kazuya's Devil powers grow stronger with each entry, but Kazuya never lost control over that form. It's all him now
@@martinaguiluz4063 I feel Kazuya's means of "control" is the same as how Gouki mastered the Shun Goku Satsu. Kazuya threw away any good that might have been within him to do so. He'd probably lose control again if he started feeling compassion, love, or any other positive emotion.
The thing is Heihatchi is comical there's an feeling of silliness that it won't really happen...Kazuya's is just real, it goes from warm memories to him remembering that no one as powerful as himself should live. Jins ending is also pretty real, it gives me the feeling that one of them had the true ending.
i think Heihachis is too silly to take serious like how Kaz just brutally murders the one family member he had that he used to care about before embracing the devil's blood in him
Damn, a part of me wishes Kazuya's Tekken 5 ending was the spark for Tekken 6's story. Granted, Kazuya would've still owned the Zaibatzu like in Tekken 2, except Jin is around to kick his father's ass later. EDIT: Nothing wrong with being specific. Right?
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but did anyone notice how when he's reminiscing about his childhood, it shows his right side with his normal eye, but when he kills Jinpachi, it shows his left side with his red eye? His right side showed there was still a shred of humanity in him while his left side shows how far he's fallen. The symbolism makes this a surprisingly well-crafted ending.
Yeah. And there's always been a hint of conflict within Kazuya, I think the most blatant and literal representation of this being the fact that in Tekken 2 you can have Devil and a character called Angel fight over Kazuya, with Angel being functionally a clone of Devil, in how she plays. In the end, Kazuya chose to embrace the devil gene within him and be who he is, but there are some implications of regret somewhere in there.
@@NiiRubra I completely agree with that. I remember that the dev, of tekken 2 at the time, or one of the dev team. Said something along these lines: "For some, they see a jet-black being flying with bat-like wings. A devil. While others see the white feathers falling under the moonlight, like an angel." It was supposed to show that kazuya is fighting the evil within, and later on we'll see how's that gonna influence later events, or at least how it'll influence characters, like Jin for example. And yes I do realise that they replaced kaz with jin in T3. Just remember that Harada took over after T2. So it may not have been the plan all along. Also side note. This phrase was hinting that Angel was never meant to be her own character. She was just there to symbolise that inner conflict within kaz in T2 at the time.
@@meganinten0078 I love both of the Tekken Tags the most. The original for the atmosphere and being good for a PS2 launch title and Tag 2 for the insane dream bouts. Especially when Angel[in her redesign which makes her looks more awesome] fires her laser beam at True Ogre’s.
I think it's also the only one after 3 that shows all the characters. It gives me that SF2 movie vibe where they are all around the world doing their own stuff. It's fucking great.
Damn i miss Heihachi's old VA... :( Then i thought "i guess Heihachi Joestar is the next best thing" but then i found out that he died too :( RIP to those legends
@Last Hybrid He started the Mishima Zaibatsu as a miltary firm to help with war. He regretted it though, and turns out he was pretty much one of the only decent mishimas in the series (Jin included as well)
I love how the pre-jinpachi cutscene was just like "ah you must be my grandson" and "its nice to meet you again" and then in like 2 seconds jinpachi is all "*_FIGHT ME_*"
Tekken 4 indicates the devil within Kazuya is a seperate entity with consciousness and fights for complete control of Kazuya, so he could have good in him and just loses control at times shown by his red eye, but it's never 100% confirmed, hopefully tekken 8 settles it.
@@bbbbKeJodddd where does it say that? I thought Kazuya glowing eye was a indicator of devil, during the final fight in 7 when heihachi hits Kazuya his eye loses the red glow, so does that has 0 meaning to it? If so then that's kinda lame ngl.
@@ZER0O9 he overpowered devil in T4 so its all him, in T7 we see him use all of the devils powers without any problem, but the final blow was kazuya's power alone.
@@ZER0O9 In Kazuya's Tekken 4 story, Kazuya's devil side tried to reclaim his other half (which was residing in Jin) but was unable to do so- with Devil believing it to be because of the Kazama blood within Jin. During the confusion, Kazuya's consciousness kicked in and managed to somehow unify himself with Devil. Prior to this, they were seperate entities; as of T4, they are now one, with Kazuya in full control. This is why Kazuya no longer subjects himself to experiments in an attempt to unlock the Devil Gene's full power- he attained it, though how he did it isn't really clear.
I think I remember the first time I discovered Tekken 5 and it was at a bowling alley in this little arcade in the back with a ton of cool games. I remember the part where the guy goes, "Heihachi Mishima... Is dead.."
in intro, I like the part where Hwoarang and Steve fights each other, before Steve lands his punch at him, Hwoarang manages to graze Steve. At 3:25 after Hwoarang grins back at Steve, Steve notices his right cheek below his eye, starts to reveal a cut.
With the current story mode in T7, thats a big oooff right there. They don't have passion for the story anymore with their half assed 20-30 secs endings for each char. Unless they track down the ones responsible for T5's story, T8's gonna be the same half assed product because of the current non-passionate story writers. The boring tone of the narrator in T7 tells us everything we need to know
Holy shit, I didn't know they got Robert Belgrade to do the VO in Tekken 5, that's sweet! it's extra funny having Max talk about Kazuya becoming a vampire over such a Voice.
Exactly. Paul Became a straight up clown. The main story started making no sense as well begining with 5. Overall it's still a good game, but I prefer T4.
Man this game brings me back so much fun memories when I was a kid. Every time I booted this game I always listen to that intro so many times. Tekken 5 by far is one the all time greats here. Looking at it now,it still holds up after so many years.
Always loved that characters always speak their native languages in conversations. When I think of Tekken, funnily enough, that's what always comes to mind.
It starts with tekken 5 actually, in tekken 4 jin and hwoarang had to talk in english to each other because it was the language they both knew. Probably the worst change in tekken. It would have been great to see people talking not their native language to make themselves understood like in 4.
Interesting bit of info. Jinpachi is one of the only good natured Mishima characters other than Jin. Jin is a good guy as well but obviously took a sort of heel turn in Tekken 6 to everyone's dismay but i think he is still good behind the facade of it all. But Jinpachi was just unfortunately taken over by an evil spirit.
Honestly, all of the Mishimas are assholes. And for me that's a good thing, the "honorable warrior" cliche became annoying after so many repetitions. Even in recent years with MK11, there it goes the honorable protagonist saving the day. Hell, even the women are assholes, Mamma Heihachi (I already forgot her name) had the original devil gene, right? Then Jun Kazama becomes a devil of somekind in the Tag series, etc.. Harada doesn't care, there is not a defacto "hero" in this franchise
@Leith Aziz PAGY I don't know much about Sol as a character, never payed attention to GG story. I can't say if I have a favorite fighting game protagonist... maybe Liu Kang, even if I criticized him earlier. He is iconic willing or not, but he has the personality of a cardboard
Jin started WWIII and killed millions of people around the world for a reason that ended up completely pointless in the end. He generally acted like an evil jerkass in T6 especially with how he forced Alisa to kill Lars. He makes the rest of his family look like angels by comparison.
The PS2 was my first ever console. And Tekken 5 was my first ever fighting game. Even though I never got into fighting games, seeing it after so many years brings back so much nostalgia.
I love the Tekken 5 intro so much, it goes from stone faced serious fight scene with the supposed death of Heihachi and the introduction to a new and mysterious character straight to a cheesy anime opening, and I wouldn't have it any other way
Even if the franchise is old as hell, it's nice how the protagonists are all assholes (including Jin), this is kinda of a "novelty" compared to the honorable warrior cliche
@@fightingmedialounge519 To Be Fair, Lars Should Not Have Existed. Feels Like a Lee 2.0. And Unironically Lee is the Closest Thing to a "Good" Mishima Aside From Jin.
@@eagleye2893 I wouldn't say that. Lee is basically an example of Mishima turning his life around once he got away from his family; Lars pretty Mishima in genetics only.
The fact Kazuya doesn't even question how Heihachi lived through that is like this is a normal occurrence in the family. Imagine in Tekken 8 Heihachi managed to live(KISAMA) and Kazuya just goes on like "get over here I'm gonna kick your ass"
We all love hating Kaz. From T1 antihero to full blown evil in T2 onwards. He maybe irredeemable even if ever Jun shows up and try to redeem him in T8.
Would you like it if this all started over something much more mundane and inconsequential? Like Heihachi just forgot to get Kazuya's favorite yogurt from the store or something?
As a metalhead, I love the track “massive stunner” (in this video during the Kazuya VS Raven fight”). Tekken has a lot of good music, man. Was hyped that I can make my own OST in Tekken 7.
This is one of the first games i got with my PS2, i played it religiously for years, probably the only fighting game i did so. Watching this is filling me with such a good nostalgia, it's also very interesting to see how a high level player performs in the story mode. PS: King was my main, i loved to cheese Jinpachi with his Neutral M-Kick
I decided to setup my old PS2 and play as king (also my main) and boy let me tell you, after years without even touching my PS2, jinpachi absolutely BODIED me. thanks for the cheese tip :)
I love the intro so damn much. It was as iconic as Melee’s intro. I can’t help but feel like Harada and Sakurai have a thing for theatrics. It’s no wonder Kojima had a particular interest in Smash Brothers. Makes me wonder if Snake will ever be in Tekken. That would actually be amazing 😍
So, Jinpachi has split hair with a long beard Heihachi has the same split with some facial hair Kazuya has a clean shave with one pointy hairstyle Jin has a similar hairstyle with a bit less straightening to it. ... Jin's son is gonna be bald or will have messy hair.
The combination of the chills that intro music gives me to you saying “So yea… One of the best intros to any fighting game ever…” that’s why I love your content man. It’s like you take the words right out of my brain. Lmao I agree with the other half not being my favorite too😂😂😂
Totally agree, this is definitely one of the best opening scenes for a fighting game,the beginning...then the very end. This is when I started playing Tekken. Could not get into it before 😎
Thank you for helping me to finally find the pre game demo I've been searching for since I was a wee lad. I could never remember which tekken game it came with.
If this intro is one of best, what are the other top 5? Its pretty fucking awesome I doubt there are any fighting game intros that stand up to this one
I love this design too! back when I was like 12 and got my PS2, Tekken 5 and onimusha 3 were some of the first games I got. I remember associating Yoshi very heavily to some of the designs in onimusha 3. of course both were influenced by traditional samurai era armor, but something in the art style and color of both games looked a little similar and equally cool for me
Tekken 5 was so dope. Not only did it bring back many characters who were absent from 3 and 4, it also included the arcade versions of the first 3 Tekkens. It also looks GORGEOUS for a 16 year old PS2 game.
Always loved how casually everyone talks to each other in different languages and has no issues
The Mishima Zaibatsu made their fortune on breeding Babel Fish 😅
Shoutouts to King and the other animals who only communicate with grunts
Would be pretty cool if we could all do that.
thats the best part from tekken dude ahahaha

Hell, even the women are assholes, Mamma Heihachi (I already forgot her name) had the original devil gene, right? Then Jun Kazama becomes a devil of somekind in the Tag series, etc.. Harada doesn't care, there is not a defacto "hero" in this franchise
@Leith Aziz PAGY I don't know much about Sol as a character, never payed attention to GG story. I can't say if I have a favorite fighting game protagonist... maybe Liu Kang, even if I criticized him earlier. He is iconic willing or not, but he has the personality of a cardboard
Jin started WWIII and killed millions of people around the world for a reason that ended up completely pointless in the end. He generally acted like an evil jerkass in T6 especially with how he forced Alisa to kill Lars. He makes the rest of his family look like angels by comparison.
I grew up with Tekken 5 and I remember Kazuya’s ending gave me chills. Might’ve also helped grow my appreciation of edge lord characters… maybe.
The PS2 was my first ever console.
And Tekken 5 was my first ever fighting game.
Even though I never got into fighting games, seeing it after so many years brings back so much nostalgia.
I used to spend a lot of time in the customization mode. You can actually make kazuya look a vampire with a pair wings
One of my favorite customization modes. It was the right amount of goofy and cool
@@JazzStation95 yeah dude
I always loved heihachis ending of launching Jin, Kazuya and Jinpachi into space on a rocket
5:28 My favorite stage theme song of the game. It hypes me up a lot.
Kazuya brutally murdered his grandpa*
Max: Kazuya is a good guy :D
To be fair, considering his grandpa was possessed by a demonic entity, it could be seen as a mercy kill.
@@sinteleon Kazuya is literally SMILING while murdering him
@@ergastolo4281 Just cause it's a mercy kill doesn't mean you can't be happy doing it. >:C
Anyonw who try to throw Kirby off a cliff is a good guy in my book.
@@sinteleon Bu- 😂
I see what you mean, but i don't think it was THAT kind of smile, you know? 😂
Easily one the best intros I’ve ever layed eyes on.
I love the Tekken 5 intro so much, it goes from stone faced serious fight scene with the supposed death of Heihachi and the introduction to a new and mysterious character straight to a cheesy anime opening, and I wouldn't have it any other way
I remember watching the intro to this game at the arcades so Many times cause it was so good
Fun Fact: Raven in this was voiced by the same guy that voiced Wesker in RE5.
EDIT: my mistake he voices him in Tekken 6 not 5.
That's insane. Wow.
@@THEdudeproductions I think its Jack Merluzzi
No it isn't.....D.C. Douglas is the voice of Wesker in RE5....D.C. Douglas is the only person who should ever voice Wesker
@@lutherheggs451 Oh. Right right. That guy's voice is spectacular, idk how I forgot that name. Douglas also voiced Kira from JJBA.
@@lutherheggs451 Oh my mistake I just looked it up and he voices Raven in Tekken 6 during "dialogue segments" not 5.
I love that for a moment Max thinks that Kazuya will become a good guy lol
Even if the franchise is old as hell, it's nice how the protagonists are all assholes (including Jin), this is kinda of a "novelty" compared to the honorable warrior cliche
Wouldn't say all of them R. Lars isn't
@@fightingmedialounge519 To Be Fair, Lars Should Not Have Existed.
Feels Like a Lee 2.0. And Unironically Lee is the Closest Thing to a "Good" Mishima Aside From Jin.
@@eagleye2893 I wouldn't say that. Lee is basically an example of Mishima turning his life around once he got away from his family; Lars pretty Mishima in genetics only.
@@fightingmedialounge519 Fair Enough: Still. Him and Jin are the Only Ones *Not* Being Evil.
At Least til 6.
The fact Kazuya doesn't even question how Heihachi lived through that is like this is a normal occurrence in the family. Imagine in Tekken 8 Heihachi managed to live(KISAMA) and Kazuya just goes on like "get over here I'm gonna kick your ass"
You thought this time Kazuya was savage?
Wait till you see the ending.
I didn't like Kaz at all but his ending in Tekken 5 made me really hate him.
Bastard.
We all love hating Kaz. From T1 antihero to full blown evil in T2 onwards. He maybe irredeemable even if ever Jun shows up and try to redeem him in T8.
@@carltasticdrew9633 Always weird how amidst all this he still knocked up Jun lol. She likes badboys, I guess?...
Damn, Kazuya straight up murdered Jinpachi, I learned something new in this messed up Mishima family story.
That one title in specific was my introduction on Tekken and still one of my favorite games, really love see people playing Tekken 5 again
The intro to Tekken 5 was so good that Kazuya's Smash Bros stage is the same dojo as in the intro (while also referencing T7's Mishima dojo)
The video thumbnail makes kazuya look like a demented half japanese Mr. Bean.
Now that's a description!😂
Mr Bean has the devil gene? Didn’t know he was secretly a Mishima all these years.
"DAYUM!!!"- Kazuya Mishima
Kazuya is just like Sol, but instead of killing his wife he goes in on his own family
Would you say Kazuya is more honest about who he is compared to Sol?
Except Sol didn't want to kill wife, Kaz chose to kill family.
He's got some vegeta in him too. The hair, the attitude (before vegeta was reformed) and they both love standing with their arms crossed.
Sol kills Aria because she gets turned into a freaking massive bioweapon lol Kazuya does it because hes batshit insane
@@kevinfelix2302 At least Sol gets her back in some way after Revelator, and she continues to journey with him in Strive as Jack-O.
The game with the best music
And by best music I mean Moonlit Wilderness
Best one :D
Fighting on that stage was always so hype!!!!
Moonlit Wilderness, Ground Zero Funk, and Poolside were always my top three favorites in 5.
"Heihachi Mishima...is dead"
Man that hits alot more different now
I’m glad I started with this installment of tekken, I loved this growing up
I was today years old when I realized that T5's narrator was Alucard from SotN.
Kazuya's ending is not canon however Jin's ending is cannon. You see it in Tekken 6
Would you like it if this all started over something much more mundane and inconsequential? Like Heihachi just forgot to get Kazuya's favorite yogurt from the store or something?
not gonna like, i would find it funny. maybe not for the tekken storyline but for something similar to it
Tekken 5 my first and the best Tekken in my opinion with a super badass hype intro just like max his intro
i agree
@@eish- my guy
T5 is the Great Ressurgence of the Francise bar none not to mention the side game Devil Within that is all about Jin
Chat: Is Raven based off Blade?
Me: is Kazuya a vampire? There ya go
Heihachi: "Kazuya! How could you betray me!?"
I'm not sure why Heihachi was so surprised, given their history...
I love how King Does a Rey Mysterio on John Cena at 3:17
2:30 For the best part!
As a metalhead, I love the track “massive stunner” (in this video during the Kazuya VS Raven fight”). Tekken has a lot of good music, man. Was hyped that I can make my own OST in Tekken 7.
My precious teenage hours spent on such an amazing PS2 Tekken game.
Always getting goosebumps when rewatching the intro.
My favorite part is when Kazuya doing df2 to crush Jack.
Looks pretty powerful.
This is one of the first games i got with my PS2, i played it religiously for years, probably the only fighting game i did so.
Watching this is filling me with such a good nostalgia, it's also very interesting to see how a high level player performs in the story mode.
PS: King was my main, i loved to cheese Jinpachi with his Neutral M-Kick
I decided to setup my old PS2 and play as king (also my main) and boy let me tell you, after years without even touching my PS2, jinpachi absolutely BODIED me. thanks for the cheese tip :)
I love the intro so damn much. It was as iconic as Melee’s intro.
I can’t help but feel like Harada and Sakurai have a thing for theatrics. It’s no wonder Kojima had a particular interest in Smash Brothers.
Makes me wonder if Snake will ever be in Tekken. That would actually be amazing 😍
By far the most *badass* opening I've ever seen!
Soul calibour intro #1
That second part of the intro is definitely the best tekken intro of all time
Tekken 5 was my introduction to this series. And one I will never forget.
Ps Christie was my first VG crush. No shame.
Asuka was my first fighting game main.
Christie is amazing
The fact that the best made character in the intro is the cat Asuka saves is great
Tekken 5 childhood memories me and my siblings would play it a lot
Fun fact: Stage 3 used the piano melody of the first tekken tag opening.
So, Jinpachi has split hair with a long beard
Heihachi has the same split with some facial hair
Kazuya has a clean shave with one pointy hairstyle
Jin has a similar hairstyle with a bit less straightening to it.
... Jin's son is gonna be bald or will have messy hair.
Look for the ending of Dr. Bosconovitch in TTT2 for your answers
The combination of the chills that intro music gives me to you saying “So yea… One of the best intros to any fighting game ever…” that’s why I love your content man. It’s like you take the words right out of my brain. Lmao I agree with the other half not being my favorite too😂😂😂
This is still my favorite Tekken.
I love the idea that every fighter in Tekken is either, like, omni-lingual…or the subtitles actually exist in world
Kazuya didn’t start WW3 tho! Just so he could fight a big dumb dragon!
Totally agree, this is definitely one of the best opening scenes for a fighting game,the beginning...then the very end. This is when I started playing Tekken. Could not get into it before 😎
Remembered playing tekken 5 so much on the psp, so much nostalgia
Thank you for helping me to finally find the pre game demo I've been searching for since I was a wee lad. I could never remember which tekken game it came with.
Besides Tekken 3. Ever since Tekken 5 the OST has been on hype levels.
The 22:03 smirk has no reason being as funny as it is
If this intro is one of best, what are the other top 5? Its pretty fucking awesome I doubt there are any fighting game intros that stand up to this one
T5 had one of my favorite yoshi designs ever. Still wish they added them to his t7 stuff
I love this design too! back when I was like 12 and got my PS2, Tekken 5 and onimusha 3 were some of the first games I got. I remember associating Yoshi very heavily to some of the designs in onimusha 3.
of course both were influenced by traditional samurai era armor, but something in the art style and color of both games looked a little similar and equally cool for me
My favorite was the Tekken 4 version.
My fav Yoshi design was Tekken 3
Yoshi also has one of the coolest ending in the game.
@@MegaManXPoweredUp bug Yoshi or red samurai Yoshi?
this has been my favorite legacy series so far. love seeing the classic tekkens getting attention
I would hate to have to do the rest of the legacies in ONE night
Tekken 5 was so dope. Not only did it bring back many characters who were absent from 3 and 4, it also included the arcade versions of the first 3 Tekkens. It also looks GORGEOUS for a 16 year old PS2 game.
God used to play Tekken 5 so much when I was little, I thought I was so good at the game
Bro the entire Mishima family needs their assets frozen, an exorcist, and some therapy 😂
That's what happens in t7 to a degree
I played this Tekken by FAAAR the most as a kid haven't played em since. Kinda wanna try out 7
7 is great. Solid AF. Odd number Tekkens never disappoint.
Imo, the best tekken. The intro still gives me goosebumps. The main menu theme, the prologue music..
"You fool! I'm stronger than both you and your father! And my demon form is way cooler!"
"Ok mega boomer."
Actually, the "boomer" here is Kazuya.
22:03 Kazuya, the biggest troll since December 1994. LOL
This was my game growing up and into my teens, Askua player
