@@newhybrid101 yeah, Tekken 1 felt like revenge, Tekken 7 felt like "Well, this was the only way this could end, and I was REALLY hoping you'd just give up at this point"
What I love most about Tekken 8 Kazuya's suit is the sheer amount of detail in the scales. You can tell that shit wasn't just made from any old croc. That is hand tailored by the most prestigious tailors on the planet. Several different species of critically endangered reptiles brought ever closer to absolute extinction, some probably actually rendered extinct. All so Kazuya can look fresh as fuck
Something that Max didn't talk about enough is the eye, the addition of the red eye did so much for Kazuya, it gave him this iconic duality, you can tell that there is something especially "off" about this guy; the eye betrays a greater evil peering from behind Kazuya's visage.
I like how the Tekken 2 outfit managed to last throughout several games. The Tag 1 outfit is definitely one of my favourites & I love the T8 spin on that fit. Plus T8 Kaz is the best he's looked from a visual standpoint
Tekken 2 is one of my favourites, sitting the precedence for the suit look, purple colour-scheme more prominent, and the purple Kazuya Devil form maintained to this day.
I disagree a lot with Max here. And I'm surprised he didnt mention that Kazuya kinda gets more brick-like in his muscles and form in 4, or yeah, focus on the scarring and red eye that much (personally i never liked the eye especially). But I especially disagree about the vibes of Tekken 2 Kazuya. I feel like they are immaculate. The perfect turn from spurned, kinda underdog protag in game 1 to clear power-hungry sucessor to Heihachi.
@@Dhampire1976 I mean clearly the developers agreed with me cause it shows up again and again lol. I do also agree with Max that his Tekken Tag promo art was rad, and I like that we have costumes like that.
Can't believe he glossed over Tekken 2 Kazuya's 2P costume. Definitely one of his most unique looks even if it isn't his best. The devil logo on the back of his jacket was a neat touch.
I said it before and I'll say it again, Kazuya is one of the coolest fighting game characters ever, a protag rich in lore and drowning in drip, and now at his current peak in Tekken 8 :))
Good. Kazuya is the real Evil Ryu in term of fighting games. He was the first Main character and eventually became the main antagonist of the vast majority of the series, switching with his deceased grandfather and his son. Something about Tekken Lore is really appealing.
@@raulrojas9253 he was always more of an anti-hero secondary protagonist until Heihachi died. Now the gloves are off and hes taking full control, no holding back any longer against the world and embracing his evil side, becoming a full villain. Easily the best version of Kaz ever so far
my favorite look for Kaz is the one where he wears black business pants, a purple shirt with rolled up sleeves and a small black armless jacket over it (dunno what that article of clothing is called despite having used one for years), I believe it featured in T6 if memory serves correctly. It looks fancy without being too cumbersome for a martial artist to wear.
It’s just such a clean, simple design. It has his signature color, it looks practical, and it tells you everything you need to know about Kazuya: he’s going to beat your ass and then go back to running his business. It’s perfect for a Kazuya who’s just an evil dickhead but not quite a world-conquering demon yet.
im absolutely LOVING the tekken 8 content comjng from Maximillian Dood recently, hes become one of my favorite content creators since the lead up to T8 and all the content getting cranked out for this game is great, so happy i found this channel dude
2:54 i love how tekken 1 devil kazuya is basically star platinum with wings whereas with the other games up until Tag 2 - 8 he was just straight up nude not to mention one of his smash alts which makes him look like kiryu
Kazuya is really something regarding character design. I'd say his original design was a cross between Ryu and Akira. Tekken2 was his first time wearing a suit but I feel like he found his clothing style in Tekken Tag with the suit and trench coat. Tekken 4 wraps it up with his canonical return add extra scars and the glowing eye and that's pretty much Kazuya going forward.
The T2 purple tux is iconic af, and it's the best purple suit he wears in the history of the series. Also, Kazuya's t5, t6, and tt2, purple tux are not the same as T2. The details are different, a tailed coat, upturned shirt collar, sash and ascot color. The tt2 tux costume makes Kazuya skinnier. Funny enough Jin gets a more accurate version of Kazuya's purple tux via customization.
Devil Kazuyas at his best when hes just a purple winged Kazuya wearing his clothes in T7 and T8. Basically right between regular and full-on devil Kaz.
I prefer without the clothes but these 2 are the best, I'm not a fan of the shoulders and face for True Devil Kazuya, and T7 True Devil whilst better than T8 ain't better than regular Devil.
Him wearing shirts when in devil form looks ridiculous, his clothes should rip off when he transforms. Also losing the red chest scar and all red eyes looks bad, at least we have the generic devil eyes we can slap on now.
@@NYG5I mean, devil kazuya's kind of a ridiculous look to begin with and ive always liked interpretations of the devil where he looks like a shady businessman.
Face wise? Definitely. He looks even more menacing and not over the top like when he got older. But outfit wise? T8 default Kaz clears everything by a mile…
The famous creepy smile Kazuya. 🤣 Tekken Tag version definitely is a HUGE improvement. Tekken 4 was a wild game. This makes me we wonder why we don't have a Tekken collection... - Tekken - Tekken 2 - Tekken 3 - Tekken 4 - Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection - Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion - Tekken 7: Fated Retribution - Tekken Tag Tournament HD - Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Unlimited
Fun fact: You know Kazuya's extra scars that he got in Tekken 4? Yeah, that's not the first time they appeared, they actually first appeared in Tekken: The Motion Picture where he gets them from getting his body clawed by dinosaurs.
Fun fact about Tekken 1 did you know that in the original arcade release of Tekken 1 the intro shows kaz with fingerless gloves but in the home port there was a new intro that changed kaz's gloves to normal leather gloves and from Tekken 2 until 4 kaz had those gloves in every chi model and ingame model I have no clue if it's a mess up or not on someone front but it's very interesting
Kazuya’s current look is like a modern take on a vampire, which is what I think they were going for with his tekken 2 look. Instead of sitting in a castle, he’s in his 40 story corporate tower in the position of a ceo who sucks the life out of all of those beneath him. When I see his reptile skin coat I cant help but be reminded of something like castlevanias’s dracula’s look with the full body cloak. Even his devil transformation is something akin to dracula’s second form, a hideous winged beast that no longer cares about keeping up the facade of someone noble and refined.
The smash ones looks like a distilled version of his classic looks, which is what every single smash character is designed to look like (with the notable exception of specific characters like link)
In Kazuya’s case I think we could actually call him a sharp dressed man. When you are going into a tournament and if you got a certain style and preference, then what’s the sense of changing it? If it works it works, I mean we’re talking about a guy whose main dream is having the world’s largest sneaker collection.
You’re not alone with that comparison. Many people still think that way. Even as a kid, I was constantly reminded of Vegeta (specifically Saiyan Saga or Majin form) whenever I saw Kazuya. As a Vegeta fangirl myself, I still get that feeling for all the right reasons. I just grew to love Kazuya more as I got older, comparisons aside.
If you ask me, Tekken 2-4 Devil Kazuya was his best version. He looked more inspired by mythology, whereas the modern designs are more like an MMO monster. I liked his animal legs, simpler design, messier hair, and creepier aesthetic.
One thing I love about the design for Kazuya in the early games, especially in Tekken 2 and Tag 1, is that he looks somewhat more like a traditional Japanese man. Just something about that is cool to me. Makes him look a bit more realistic, even with the old graphics. Also, it should go without saying, but the purple boss suit in T2/Tag 1 is GOATed.
You going through the Devil forms really hits how much I dislike how they all look but I'm so glad they opted out of Pubic Hair Devil for the dragon-like scales instead. It fits the character and motif better as Dracula is means "son of the dragon". I like how you pointed out that his T2 appearance looks more vampiric too. I never looked at it like that but it kinda does!
Tekken Tag 1 is significant because if you took Kazuya and Devil in the same team he would transform from one to the other instead of tagging out, a pretty major gameplay difference and the only character who deviated from the regular tag out system.
Tekken 6 is his most accurate post volcano look, while TTT is the best "normal" Kazuya, and TK8 has his best costumes. Also Kazuya's crazy hair in his TK2 devil form has always been sick, idc what no one says and I wish they brought it back.
The form from Tekken 2 is actually different from the one we have in in Rage Art&Heat mode. The red eyes showed Kazuya was not in control and it was just Devil. The chest scar also glowed red He had much longer and wilder hair His horns were golden He had a small tail Sharp elbows And furry monster legs The modern one is a much less drastic change. Having the same hair,no glowing red stuff,normal legs etc. This is because his Devil Gene is stated to have gotten fragmented in Tekken 2 so the transformation is incomplete. After taking Azazels power he briefly shows two red eyes,showing he had again a complete devil gene. The normal Devil forms is called Hybrid Devil The Final Devil from Tekken 7 is officially called "Devil Kazuya-X" True Devil is just Devil-X with Azazels power on top of it,you can see the Devil X skin in his chest eye where the armor shows an opening -Tekken 7/8 Rage/Heat Devil(37.5%) -Tekken 2 Devil(50%) -Tekken 7 Devil-X(75%) -True Devil(100%)
19:21 This shot of Kazuya. I'm just imagining some dude walking into a Mishima-owned highrise and tearing the place up in protest against Kazuya or something, and an elevator across the highrise's lobby opens to reveal Kazuya, in that pose, with that lighting, with that expression. And then Kazuya starts wavedashing towards this dude.
Original Devil Kazuya looks more like he is wearing a devil costume than actually being a devil. I love the vampire suit hehe. Tekken 8 Kazuya kinda... sexy... 👀 I kinda prefer the more **simpler** Devil designs but ah well.
7:58 is not Tekken 4 Kazuya. Thats from the Story mode of Kazuya in Tekken 5. Tekken 4 has actually a Devil Kazuya, its in the ending cutscene where he transforms into the Devil.
Tekken 4's fancier outfit is my favorite. The purple suit is flashy, but I like how understated his corporate evil is in T4's color choices, also- shades. The red eye is iconic, true, but shades... are just so cool...
Ive always seen tekken 1 Devil Kazuya as a Devilman x Jojo Star Platinum. Especially with the rumor that Paul mightve been based off of Polnareff from jojos
just jumping into tekken 8 kazuya looks super developed the ascetics are as simple as possible then it jumps into his over the top armor was great presentation
I’ve always felt the “executive dickhead” look was supposed to be like a Yakuza from a Takashi Miike film and Kazuya is an anagram for Yakuza. In Tekken 8 he’s really got a 90s early 00s yakuza outfit and it’s the best he’s ever looked.
Kazuya is Unrivaled when it comes to his sneaker collection
That was such a neat callback to the Tekken 1 manual.
My man would threaten the region of world if someone failed to win in a tournament while knowing he stole every pair of Lebrons in the world 😂
makes me wish Sega leaned in z made sonic a sneakerhead
He only cares amount two things in this world: Jun Kazama & sneakers.
I really hope they give him some more sneakers in Tekken 8 for customization
What makes Kazuya smile more?
Getting to show off his extensive sneaker collection?
Or tossing his father into a volcano?
Definitely the sneaker collection
"Both?"
"Both."
"Both." *Nod*
He only smiled in 1.
When he threw him in 7 he seemed more somber,satisfied yes but not exactly happy

What I love most about Tekken 8 Kazuya's suit is the sheer amount of detail in the scales. You can tell that shit wasn't just made from any old croc. That is hand tailored by the most prestigious tailors on the planet. Several different species of critically endangered reptiles brought ever closer to absolute extinction, some probably actually rendered extinct. All so Kazuya can look fresh as fuck
That's been in the works since Tekken 2 they told Kaz they didn't have scales for that suit so he resurrected the Dinosaur's
To be fair he looks fresh as FUCK bro
You think Kazuya paid that tailor or just threatened his life?
@@fissilewhistlehe challenged the tailors to combat and if they were worthy, he paid them.

Kazuya’s current look is like a modern take on a vampire, which is what I think they were going for with his tekken 2 look.

The Tekken 7 pink jumpsuit is a classic japanese biker gang outfit.
Tekken 6 is his most accurate post volcano look, while TTT is the best "normal" Kazuya, and TK8 has his best costumes. Also Kazuya's crazy hair in his TK2 devil form has always been sick, idc what no one says and I wish they brought it back.
The form from Tekken 2 is actually different from the one we have in in Rage Art&Heat mode.
The red eyes showed Kazuya was not in control and it was just Devil.
The chest scar also glowed red
He had much longer and wilder hair
His horns were golden
He had a small tail
Sharp elbows
And furry monster legs
The modern one is a much less drastic change.
Having the same hair,no glowing red stuff,normal legs etc.
This is because his Devil Gene is stated to have gotten fragmented in Tekken 2 so the transformation is incomplete.
After taking Azazels power he briefly shows two red eyes,showing he had again a complete devil gene.
The normal Devil forms is called Hybrid Devil

Ive always seen tekken 1 Devil Kazuya as a Devilman x Jojo Star Platinum. Especially with the rumor that Paul mightve been based off of Polnareff from jojos
Devil Kazuya in Tekken 1 is basically Star platinum from JoJo
Is max pronouncing Kazuya like that a meme? It's driving me up the wall
just jumping into tekken 8 kazuya looks super developed the ascetics are as simple as possible then it jumps into his over the top armor was great presentation
god i was thinking about this series, i missed this sm
Damn. The Song "Emotionless Passion” in this Video is one of my favourite Video Game Songs.

I’ve always felt the “executive dickhead” look was supposed to be like a Yakuza from a Takashi Miike film and Kazuya is an anagram for Yakuza. In Tekken 8 he’s really got a 90s early 00s yakuza outfit and it’s the best he’s ever looked.
I love how Tekken 1 Devil is just Star Platinum
I first know Kaz in Tekken 2, since then he is my main until now. ⚡️

Two things not to mess with of Kazuya's. His wife and his sneakers.
Kazuya collecting nike shoes is the most random and funny shit in tekken lore.
"kazuya is like don't you dare ask me to change my clothes" considering how he doesn't want anybody to change his ways, it makes sense
