@@Hilversumborn It's a pity that, just like Paul, he went from being one of the strongest characters in the entire verse to just a journeyman at best. I know that the King introduced since Tekken 3 is actually one of the orphanage kids who took up the torch of the original after he died (the one that Loresmith shows in this video as a nice fanservice), but still I think he deserves some moments to shine in canon.
Man, if only we could get an actually serious Tekken game again. More grounded stories like this, with the king of iron fist tournament, and less DBZ/anime nonsense like we see now. Hearing the Tekken 4 prologue music really drove this home for me. Great video.
I've been a fan since childhood, but having turned 30 it's safe to say I'm no longer the target demographic lmao. Tekken is just courting the younger crowd, as it likely always has, and younger Zoomers and gen Alpha like memes, shounen anime, coomer bait and nostalgic callbacks to times before they were born. I'm still a casual fan and player, but that's just the way it is. Tekken's always been a fun blend of semi-serious and semi-comedic, but yeah, outside of the Jin/Kazuya stuff Tekken 8 is leaning too far into full comedy. It's also becoming way too "anime", I mean I know it's always been anime inspired, but we've now crossed over into full DBZ/Naruto power level with the Devil shit And I said all that without talking about the gameplay, specifically the goddamn heat mechanic which overemphasizes aggression over defence or spacing, and causes some matches to devolve into slugfests, just to make a spectator sport for dorks who go to watch Evo but have never picked up a controller in their life. Still, Reina looks like one of the best new characters in a long while, I might main her when I pick up Tekken 8.
But at the same time I did kinda like the mysterious aura about each of the characters. There was no dialogue so they could only show you things from each character’s background and leave it up to you to connect dots
I am Mexican and I can assure you that King is considered by almost all Mexicans to be the best Mexican character in fighting games and video games in general.
@@BenjaminRodriguezHernand-qj7jr This is so cool. Thanks for this information! I am impressed, this game charackter is loved by many real Mexicans. It seems he has also some really authentic Mexican properties?
These are great, keep them coming. It gives the non Mishima characters much needed backstory. Also Alucard being the narrator is a nice throwback to Tekken 5.
I just found your channel and I have something to say that will make you smile: With your exquisite skill at making these, not only do I hope you continue to make them, Harada really needs to hire you.
This series is def wanted by hardcore tekken fans over the years. Tekken lore has been heavily focused on the Mishima Bloodline that other character backstory is a mystery.
Vague Spoiler warning. The first kings storey was so motivating to bad it ended the way it did o well it worked for dramatic tension but only if you did the research since they don’t make it clear so our tell you. This wrestler in teeken 4 through present In teeken 8.?is not the same adult we saw in teeken 1 2 an before the end cut scene of kings ending in teeken 3. At least with armor king they don’t show what happened to him but they tell you in the open dialogue of king 2 storey arcade mode in teeken 4 what happened. So when another armor king show up in the special addition of teeken 5 it makes sense it’s teeken take on the sub zero and sub zero brother storey ark to an extent.
@@lightnoir6914 Still he follows in King 1s footsteps to honor his legacy... he sponsors the orphanage from which he originates. King 2 was raised there!
God these lore vids are incredible i love seeing tekken through this lens. Id love to see how these would be for all the other characters. thanks for taking the time to make these we love em
Been watching these Tekken lore episodes and I freaking love em. I hope we get a Yoshimitsu Tekken lore video soon! Bro has most underrated story of the Tekken cast.
This video is amazing, words cannot describe this masterpiece. You truly used AI to its proper use and entailed a story to some of the fans who never knew. You made me love King even more! Overall this is just a great job. From utilizing the AI to narration of the story, its beautiful. I can't wait for you to make another lore video with the other Tekken Characters!
Jaguar is a native animal from the Americas. Many native Aztec warriors wore them. He wears a mask because he is a priest and violence is not condoned in the church. His name maybe because Christ is king and he believes?
I love all of these character backstory lore video for tekken, getting into the series since Tekken 7 and never really knowing there origins, this helps immensely. I am grateful to this lore video series, and cant wait to see more for tekken.
Dude that was really touching motivating at the same time especially the beginning really got me great great great storytelling man. I hope that somebody see s your work for what it is you deserve too be bigger i dont know if it is only u working on that but dude 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥That kind of story we need in movies nowadays also the williams sister episode great stuff
Thanks bro that means a lot! It's just me making these, that's why it takes so long! 😅 But yeah King is an awesome character, he's just a good dude overall, can't help but like him. I've said it before, the Tekken characters have lots of potential for stories, I dunno why they don't make a show of it. (I Know they made an anime but it's Mishima focused like everything Tekken related, dont get me wrong, the mishimas are cool but I think the other characters are cool too)
I have been waiting for this. I like your lore series but I especially love your Tekken lore series, it’s how I found your channel. Great work as always.
Thank you for not only telling the the background story for the First King but the other fighters as well i can now look at the fighrers who a new respect to them and now see how their hardships molded them to the top fighters they are now. I sincerly appreciate the style of storytelling it feels genuine and fresh and keeps viewer immerse in the universe of Tekken. I cant wait till you touch on Characters such as Jun, Jin, Heihachi and much more. And I hope in the future you will dive in the lore of other fighting games like virtual fighter, killer instant, or even Bloody Roar to named a few. Amazing video
Your video was amazing and I would like to see more of your work. One question, are you going to tell King's entire story from the other Tekken games, for example Tekken 2, Tekken 3, Tekken 4 up to Tekken 8?
@@TheLoresmith Yeah bro Tekken 2 was one of the first games i EVER played as young and King was my favorite back then. You know directly that hes a luchador with heart
Excuse my language but this FUCKING amazing. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for this. I know Tekken has a lot of characters but I am hoping you will be able to do all the characters lore. Again thanks 🙏🏾 so much for this. This is quality content.
I liking this channel the treat these legacy characters with more respect than the creators after the green gravy (yes chat i know they're businesses that need money for survival!)
The 1st King was awesome. He beat both the 1st Armor King & the 1st Jack in the 1st King of Iron Fist Tournament. That's gotta be enough money to fund the orphanage for the kids who were happy to see the 1st King do it.
The Mishimas may be the protagonists, but King is the hero of Tekken.
Maybe in Tekken 9 King will be the one that beat the next devil. Setting the stage for King 3!
The fact that King got the most views of all the character trailers of Tekken 8 proves that King is the most popular Tekken character.
@@Hilversumborn It's a pity that, just like Paul, he went from being one of the strongest characters in the entire verse to just a journeyman at best.

King Paul Law Roger Mokujin etc.
Tekken got insane lore potential in their side characters yet they always focus on Mishimas each time lmao
King and Yoshimitsu fight for those who can not fight for them selfs, as we all should.
So does Lars 😎⚡
I'm all for that.
Role models for sure...
Man, if only we could get an actually serious Tekken game again. More grounded stories like this, with the king of iron fist tournament, and less DBZ/anime nonsense like we see now. Hearing the Tekken 4 prologue music really drove this home for me. Great video.

Totally agree
This channel gives Tekken characters more justice than Harada and Bamco nowadays.
Your narration fleshed out Tekken characters like King. This is what older games could not do, something I need to satisfy my curiosity.
The characters have such cool stories.
@@TheLoresmithwho next jack
Tekken 4 did this
These are sick!!
But at the same time I did kinda like the mysterious aura about each of the characters. There was no dialogue so they could only show you things from each character’s background and leave it up to you to connect dots
I love how in Tekken everybody speaks the language of their country, but King just roars. But everybody can understand him.😂
I absolutely agree with you hahaha. And Roger makes sounds similar to a rabbit haha. Or Kuma and Panda also bears around.
I love the endings where King, Armor King, and Murdock are talking and Murdock is easily following the conversation.😂
Itz bcz they read the in game subtitles
King I always had the purest intentions of all the Tekken characters. Love his story 🐯
He's a good dude.
This is very emotional.
Ruuur 🐯
Its why he was popular with kids back in the 90s
King is so cool
I found this video while looking for King stuff. I don't regret it.
It's weird seeing King without a mask.
He is probably one of the coolest Mexican video game characters.
I am Mexican and I can assure you that King is considered by almost all Mexicans to be the best Mexican character in fighting games and video games in general.

That mask is magic
I’d love to see a Luchador voice King
It’d be cool seeing Penta El Cero M or maybe Fantasma Jr voicing the character
Yeah him and Ricardo the boxer
King's story gives you power through hard times, easily one of the best characters in fighting history. He definitely deserves an anime of his own.
Very inspirational character, gets you pumped, he does good but doesn’t ask for anything in return. 💪
King’s life is based of Fray Tormenta.
Look him up it’s inspiring.
The Tiger Mask W Anime ist good, King is based on a Wrestler of that Name
These are great, keep them coming. It gives the non Mishima characters much needed backstory. Also Alucard being the narrator is a nice throwback to Tekken 5.
this is why i admire king , he doesnt fight for pride or money he fights for those who cant
GRUUWW GRUWW GRRRRUUU !
( Translation : Perfect vidéo bro )
😂 thanks 🐯

I just noticed the church choir music combined with King's Tekken 3 theme song... so cool. And "The Beast Priest" is so damn awesome haha
Omg this is great. The details, your narration and THE TEKKEN 3 King stage remix. I got chills. I love this. This is cannon from now on!
Thanks, I’m trying to respect the canon for the most part while also expanding on the characters 👍
This deserves to be viewed by all Tekken fans. Beautifully done. Bravo!
Awesome, more Tekken characters' lore stories like this! 😎😎
I'll try to keep them coming! thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant work! You’re extremely interesting and clever!
Unmasked King is so handsome, omg-
I wonder if Yoshitmistu will be shown unmasked in his own story soon!
Beast Priest, love it! King is the most inspiring character in all of fighting games... he deserves to be that strong in T8
He’s a pain to fight in T8 that’s for sure! 😂 his heat smash is brutal
But that’s not the same king that’s king 2

Another absolute thrilling video! Cheers LS!
Dude, I have to subscribe! I've watched the Paul and Nina one, and I absolutely loved them! I'm a HUGE Tekken fan, especially lore-wise!
Hope there will be more of these for the Mishimas, Laws, Marduk, Hwaoarang and Baek, Dragunov, Kunimitsu, among others.
This origin story makes me remember the story of Father Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez.
That who king is based on
I love his story so much ! King is so precious 🥺❤️❤️
He's a good guy!
King is the champion of the people and hero of the children
Been watching these Tekken lore episodes and I freaking love em.
I hope we get a Yoshimitsu Tekken lore video soon! Bro has most underrated story of the Tekken cast.
That’s actually true, yoshimitsu is a G.
I love the usage of King’s theme from Tekken 3!
I’m hoping you’ll do the rest of the Tekken fighters (and the lore of the follow-up games).
What really gets me is that both King and Nacho Libre took inspiration from the same man...
These Tekken lore videos are SO amazing!! I've watched nearly all of them now and I'm extremely impressed. Please keep doing these!

This looks better than the actual recent Tekken anime it's self.
Im so glad i found your channel
Thanks for stopping by! 👊
This is awesome ❤
Man that music still gives me chills, great throw back to the PS2 era of Tekken 🔥.
Love how King & Armor King were presented. And the birth of King II will come soon.
Damn this is wholesome and movie worthy.
You even sound like that Tekken Narrator from Tekken 5 onwards, i believe
Robert Belgrade aka Alucard from Castlevania SOTN
It is that person. I believe hes using an a.i. voice to do it. But its an excellent touch
@@Undone545i always like that dude's voice.
It stuck with me since childhood
King's legacy lives in his successor and i love it
This was incredible! Please keep em coming!
And this is why i main King!
Why does he wear a jaguar mask? Does it mean he likes jaguars? And wants to protect his identity? But why is he called King?
Jaguar is a native animal from the Americas. Many native Aztec warriors wore them. He wears a mask because he is a priest and violence is not condoned in the church. His name maybe because Christ is king and he believes?
T8 King is not the same character as T1 King. Like really, they are different people
