Thank you for joining me in exploring the lore of Yoshimitsu. Stay tuned for more journeys into the Tekken universe! - เกม
They should give Yoshimitsu his own Ninja Gaiden style spinoff series.
he's technically a samurai
raven tho... that's your ninja
That would be crazy ✅
@@shvy100 the Manji clan is a Ninja clan
AGREED
I would play it
More stories about next Tekken characters! 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah and we must hear some stories about Tekken 2 characters very soon including Jun Kazama, Lei Wulong, Bruce Irvin, Wang Jinrei, Devil, Angel, Kunimitsu and Armor King!
@@lydiamcgowan2125Marshall Law
Yeah we want more story Tekken characters
Who the next
@@tmonster737b6 Jun
I never knew the past of Yoshimitsu until you grant him one. Thanks for fleshing him out😁
Not much is known about the manji clan in modern times, tekken rarely touched on them, hope this interpretation fills in a few gaps! 🙏
@@TheLoresmith tekken anime lore series kunimitsu l king of lron fist tournament 2
soon
Robert Belgrade as the narrator is perfect
I love the hidden, detail, at 22:47 of Kazuya Transforming into full or half, devil mode when he fought Yoshimitsu, with ease, I cannot wait for Kazuya’s episode story to release.🎉😁⚡️ your doing so well! With your Tekken Stories Loresmith.
Let's talk about your boy, Yoshimitsu.
-TheFightersDen
God I love you used the TEKKEN 4 song, fetus. This is how TEKKEN 8 should have took still a serious approach… I’m hopeful one day, will enjoy these because I was wondering more deeper for some characters I don’t usually use
yeah fetus is like the perfect intro song to introduce a character. 😄
My favorite character since childhood.
Now this is a good backstory for Yoshimitsu. Thank you for expanding his lore.
That was a great Tekken 1 Yoshimitsu backstory.
I’ve watched all of these videos for tekken now. I absolutely love your formatting, the use of proper tekken soundtracks, and the art you are using. I’ve been playing tekken for more than 25 years and you definitely do its rich lore justice. Please continue. Can’t wait to see kazuya’s lore.
I have a feeling kazuya’s is going to have be pretty lengthy, guy has so much lore to cover with his family, even for just his origin and the first game 😅 but it’s gonna be fun to cover, there’s are some gaps to fill, like his relationship with lee growing up for example and his youth, we’ll see how it turns out.
Yoshimitsu, a legend in the Tekken Universe, is an awesome and truly a marvel. I can play him in any Tekken game and mop the floor with my opponents. Love to see the background story of Tekken's Kazuya Mishima as well as the next episode of Metal Gear
Yoshi is awesome 💪 Kazuya will come eventually, he's the winner of the tournament so he'll take the finale. New metal gear soon hopefully! 🙏
@@TheLoresmith SSSSSS-SWEET! I am looking forward to them both. This channel is friggin awesome
@@TheLoresmith tekken anime lore series l ganryu l king of lron fist tournament 2 soon
MORE TEKKEN STORIES 🔥🔥🔥💯💯 Beautiful content thank you so mich for the ones you have given us already
That was amazing!
(Thank you very much for using my TK3 Yoshimitsu Remix! :D)
also...
*LONG LIVE YOSHIMITSU!!!* 👹⚔🥷
🙏 Thank you! Your music is awesome bro, I really love the remixes! 👊
👹⚔️🥷!
Excellent expansion on his story. Finally something besides the Mishima's. Only little detail I noticed, is it doesn't mention how he lost his hand and had it replaced with a mechanical one by Dr. Bosconovich. Maybe Season 2 will mention it.
He loses the hand between t1 and t2 I believe! Hmm I’ll have to look into it before doing yoshi’s Tekken 2 ep make sure I get everything correct 👍
@@TheLoresmith I looked it up. Says it happens after the first tournament while rescuing Dr. Boston bitch and his left arm was wounded bad, so with the help of Bosconovitch, his arm was replaced with a mechanical new one.
@@JaceErlanyeah that’s right, so dr bosconovich gets taken by Mishima zaibatsu when kazuya is in charge, then yoshi rescues and loses arm before Tekken 2 tournament. Nice
@@TheLoresmith yep, that'll work
Such an underrated channel. Amazing work as always guys! Well done!
This is my new favorite thing to watch now. Please keep making these because they give me inspiration to write my own stuff.
This is so amazing, love this vid with all the BGMs playing ❤
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY MAKING YOSHIMITSU!! Been requesting and patiently waiting again Thank you 🖤🙏💯
Damn dude, this was so freaking amazing. Yoshi and Kuni is like my family in my mind. 😅 Got me interested into making similar content for my original characters. Definitely inspired!!
That's awesome man, i'd love to see what you do if you decide to pursue your own content, yeah the modern Manji Clan weren't expanded on much in tekken, if at all, so had to create a few more clan members that would make sense in relation to yoshi
It's a shame that Namco never did anything quite like this. These videos are excellent! I've just binged them and subscribed.
I'm looking forward to a Kunimitsu video if you choose to make one. There are a lot of questions around her origin, including an idea that she is (or was) possessed by a kitsune.
If you ever make a video that references her T2 ending, it's commonly believed that she is testing out Yoshimitsu (the sword) on a large stone that she randomly finds in a forest, but that stone is actually meant to be an unmarked gravestone for a grave that is hidden right there in the forest. The idea is that the sword is said to possess the ability to cleave a person's soul in two, and so by using the sword to cut through the gravestone, she is destroying the deceased person's soul. I have no idea who that person was or why Kunimitsu would want to do that to them after they're already dead, but somebody went to a bit of trouble to hide the grave, presumably to prevent this exact outcome.
It would be really cool to see this play out in some way in one of your videos.
Nothing short of outstanding! Also them J's on Kazuya are cool never noticed them.
Thanks for dropping!
Incredible story. Yoshimitsu is a great character
YESSSS!!!
I requested this Tekken lore episode and am so glad you came through bro!
Yoshimitsu had such a lack of coverage in the Tekken 8 story mode so am glad he getting spotlight from your web series!😎
Thanks for watching bro 👊 I don't even think he was in the story mode at all except once in the tournament bit lol. Have you seen the new Tekken 8 dlc trailer though? looks like yoshi is going to be featured more in eddy's dlc story which is good.
@@TheLoresmith
The one from a while ago? Definitely! Friggin love it. Can’t wait to get it.
@@blackdog8245 no sorry I meant you’re right, yoshi isn’t in Tekken 8 story except for one fight. Which is crazy
@@TheLoresmith
We also ain’t heard from Wang Jinrei. Any plans to do a Tekken lore episode on the OG? We should have more insight on him and Jinpachi’s friendship and his relation to Xiaoyu imo. Plus there’s him knowing Feng Wei master. So it something worth exploring.
This one has got to be my favourite so far and for the most part makes sense lore wise, I can even say you fleshed Yoshi and Kuni even more than what Bamco, gave them such a dynamic narrative, I ever do wish Bamco for once did a Tekken anthology anime series with different perspectives from each character, something I thought of myself for the last 20 years 😅.
The lore is incredible, Keep it up!!!!!! 👍👍
Dawg fr does not understand how excited I be whenever I see another Tekken lore updated
nice glad you like!! thanks for watching bro 👊
Good shit bro, keep em coming!
I always thought it wasn’t fair this dude uses a sword 😆 he’s dope af though needs his own show or game
Thank you for putting Yoshitmitsu’s story. It was awesome
This AI snapped with the art bro. Nice story too, you out this together well. Takes away so of the mystery and actually have him some personality and not just an enigma. Good on ya
Damn, this one was great. I love the use of Yoshi's Tag1 theme.
Watching this unfold: 10/10
Yoshi TTT theme drops: Beyond score
I always had a head-canon that there was always A Yoshimitsu, not THE. Maybe his SC iteration isn't canon to Tekken, but otherwise it would make sense. So they guy before him, even with a different prefix'd name, used to be "The Yoshimitsu." Perhaps this tradition had been going on far before SC. And so the lineage of Yoshumitsu (the sword) wielders descended to the present (Tekken) day.
Yeah thats how i see it too, there were many yoshis, i tried to make it so the story could work whether SC is canon or not, was a tough one deciding which way to take the story.
Beautiful work.
About damn time!
Love these! Please keep em coming!
Yeah more stories including Kazuya, Heihachi, Jack, Michelle, Law, Lee, Armour King and Ganyru. And very soon Tekken 2 stories about Jun, Baek, Angel, Devil and Lei and Tekken 3 Jin, Xiaoyu, Eddy, Julia, King II, Bryan and Hwoarang! Keep up the fantastic work!!! You're extremely interesting! 👍😍🥰
Another fantastic video from you🎉
Yes you did it man I so happy you cover yoshimitsu origins 😊
I LOVE THIS OMFG YOU ARE AMAZING! PLEASE KEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORK AND DO THE SAME WITH THE OTHER CHARACTERS THAT ARE NEXT!!!
Appreciate it! 👊
loving this series :D
keep it going!
cool video man, interesting lore.
These are so good. Keep these coming
This is some of the Dopest fanmade Tekken material I’ve ever seen. Ai and all
Really nice!
Another Lore! Just finished watching Nina's and now this?!
Thanks for the awesome video!
These stories are to good.. I don’t want them to end.
This was 🔥
This is great, keep on going
this is beauty, I hope to see more of this
Im so glad to come across this channel, just subbed.
Thanks for subbing brother appreciate it! 💪
8:04 Tekken Tag Tournament vibes when that music kicks in
He has a Face??? Kool 👍
after tekken tag 2, kunimitsu has been looking like a waifu
These videos are really great
I really can't wait for you to do Kazuya
Yeah, Kazuya Mishima has gathered his devilish strength to win the 1st King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to get revenge on his father Heihachi Mishima for killing Kazuya's mother Kazumi Mishima.
Yoshimitsu the samurai.
Really enjoyed the video and nice work fiction
Tho as a Yoshimitsu main/cosplayer i noticed few lore things missing. Just wanted to point few things. IT"S not a whine i assure You
- No mention of SoulCalibur universe where characters named Yoshimitsu also exists and explains few things, such as Why Yoshimitsu blade is cursed since it's tainted with energy from Soul Edge
- We learn in Soulcalibur that 'Yoshimitsu" is a title given to leader/wielder of cursed blade but also we have no information about what other name Tekken' Yoshimitsu had before taking the leader mantle.
- Speaking of it, no mention of previous leader who most likely was also named Yoshimitsu, someone was probably using the cursed sword, I don't think they just left it storaged.
Thank you 🙂I’m not sure the two series are set in the same universe, like for example Akuma in Tekken 7, does that mean SF and Tekken are set in the same universe?
I did mention how the clan has been around for generations while not explicitly stating the soul calibur lore but at the same time trying to acknowledge it, a balance, like saying are they connected or aren’t they. Had to make the story make sense in both scenarios. Tough one😩
The sword being in limbo is more of a temporary period to find a suitable owner strong enough to wield. Old owner retires it, clan finds new owner which takes time, sometimes many years as they have to get it right after all it being in the wrong hands is bad.
I called him yoshi from that start as the story is told in past tense, i maybe could have been more clear about him being given the title once he gets the sword. But yeah before he got the sword his ‘real’ name was something else, I’ll apologise for not specifically adding that detail in I can see how it could cause confusion! Same for kunimitsu, members are given names or titles after they join the clan which I think is a cool detail to add.
I also didn’t want to take too many liberties and actually make up a name for the guy as people may not have liked what name I picked, yoshimitsu is a naturally mysterious character, I tried to keep that same aura in the story. Expanding on the clan and adding a couple side characters revealing the clan has a naming system is enough.
@@TheLoresmith
- True no one really knows if SC and Tekken are REALLY connected xd and if they were only more questions would arrise,
And no need to apologise because no one is offended. just pointing few things as a matter of peaceful discussion.
@@Lrd_Jacobus of course, I appreciate the feedback, happy to discuss elements for clarification or some things I may have missed 👍
This Tekken story of Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu Story is amazing even it's interesting that Yoshimitsu and his ninja clan infiltrating places and after 2 fights with Ganryu and Kazuya Mishima i give This story a 2 👍🏾👍🏾 I hope I get to hear more stories 😁 of Tekken
You got a new sub bro this is 🔥🔥🔥
This is Amazing
The lore of Yoshimitsu is a God send!
Yoshi and bob are my favorite characters in Tekken in lore and gameplay and i think kunimistu as well thanks to this video i hope she returns
My favorite character. Did him hella justice my friend. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Thanks! 🙏 appreciate it. Tried to stay true to the character while filling in some blanks.
That yoshimitsu tekken tag beat remix was dope.
worth watching, eagerly waiting for next episode
Thank you, wasn't sure with the longer episode length, was a lot to cover with kuni and manji but glad you liked, means a lot
great video, would love to see Bryan fury next!
Nice video! Just as good as the others.
I noticed your going through the games canonically.
Will be a while until we see Jin. lol
Unfortunately yeah, those new gen guys will be a while, but personally I’m excited to get into characters like Jin, hwoarang and xiaoyu. Will get there eventually! 😅👊
Kazuya Mishima my day 1 Favourite, character in the entire Tekken franchise! Kazuya, has been my favourite character ever since Tekken 4.🎉🎉🎉
Dorya! ⚡️
@@TheLoresmithDorrryaaa!⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@TheLoresmith I love the hidden, detail, of Kazuya going full or half, devil mode when he fought Yoshimitsu, with ease, I cannot wait for Kazuya’s episode story to release.🎉😁⚡️

@@crashpal yu shall join the G Corporation, as my alliance Ally. As I shall make humanity unleash the dogs, of War! Mwhahahaha EToshi.
Aaaaa finally🎉
Awesome job man! We're now at the half way point with the main 8 characters. I'm thinking JACK will be the next chapter, followed by Michelle, then Law, and ending with Kazuya. Regardless, your work is excellent!
Thanks! Yeah either jack or Michelle next, I’ll throw a poll up, the people can decide 💪
@@TheLoresmithyu should definitely, save Kazuya’s story episode for last.
these origin videos are amazing.
and is that the narrator from Tekken 5 i hear?
Very good job !!!
I Love this channel!!!! Please make more
New Tekken vid soon, sorry for long wait 😅👊
I didnt realize Gray Fox speak Japanese lol. In all seriousness this was a great video as always and also i would like to thank you for making Kazuya's voice younger its a great small detail
You have a good ear wth how could you tell that! 😅
@@TheLoresmith AS a Tekken Player I've notice certain things including voices and grunts. The voice you used sounds just like Kazuya in Tekken 1 and Tekken 2. I really applaud you for doing this showing how you are truly cared of the content you make
Please make stories with all the Tekken characters 🤩
Nice Yoshimitsu lore can't wait for my favorite character Kazuya

Robert Belgrade being the narrator for this takes me back to Tekken 5/DR, still my favorite among the Tekken games. After all these years, his voice hardly changed. He still sounds like SotN Alucard.
These are🔥🔥🔥🔥
Much as im loving these Tekken stories, I'm just waiting on that next Metal Gear episode 💯🐐👍🏿
that will be the next project I am going to be working on! 💪
Fascinating lore! Do you make all these stories yourself or get them from Tekken itself? I haven't gotten too deep into Tekken lore so I don't know haha
The stories are based on the very brief character bios in the manuals and character prologues/intros/outros etc. I just expand on them and flesh them out. 👍
@@TheLoresmith Great to know! Looking forward to more vids in the future!
Voices of Announcer, Manji Clan members, Ganryu, Kazuya and Kunimitsu are AI?
The music😩
I'm usually aginst AI but this is really well made, And I just thirst for Yoshimitsu lore videos lol
Yoshimitsu from soul caliber is the ancestor of the one in tekken aswell
Hey thanks for all your hard work. Your videos are very enjoyable to watch. So keep up the good work.
Real quick, I like to assume that I managed to deduce the tournament bracket, provided that there are only 16 fighters in the tournament as it was faithful to the original game with Heihachi being the odd man out and only faced by the winner of the finals.
If that is the case, then both Nina and King should be in the semi finals (top 4) and not in the quarter finals (top 8) because they defeated two opponents respectively.
The only way for them to be in the quarter finals after having defeated two opponents consecutively, is if the tournament has 32 participants in single elimination. But if that is the case, then there is an extra 16 combatants to be accounted for. How do you feel?
Thanks I appreciate it 👊, I think I may have made a slight mistake, you are right there are 16 fighters and heihachi is the odd one out, king and Nina made it to top 4.
but what I have done is I considered the top 4 to be the quarter finals and then the last two would be the semi final and kazuya vs heihachi would be the final.
Maybe that’s the wrong way to do it but in real life tournaments there’s not normally a final boss who doesn’t have to compete lol
So yeah if I am wrong on that then you could just have it like you say the top four being the semi finals and the last two would be the final, then I guess the prize would be the opportunity to face heihachi in the final final.
Regardless, your deduction is correct 😅
@@TheLoresmith
Hey thank you for your response and clarification I appreciate it 👊.
I can understand your rationale behind labeling the round of 4 as quarterfinals considering it is the antepenultimate round. But I feel like the proper terminologies still stand.
I am also guessing there really isn't a proper term for the last stage against Heihachi since it is kind of an extra bracket.
You are free to do as you see fit, I am just suggesting maybe rectify the terms in your future videos or add more clarity to avoid confusion like this one. Aside from this, everything else is great and I look forward for future videos.
I can’t wait for Kazuya’s lore 🔥
I’m a day 1 Kazuya main, he’s my favourite, character ever since Tekken 4! And I promise yu, Kazuya’s episode, will be epic as heck.!✊🏾⚡️
I would love to see history videos on Soul Calibur characters. Like with the Yoshimitsu from that series, along with Siegfried, Sophitia, Taki, Mitsurgi, Kilik, Xianghua, Ivy, & Maxie.
i miss tekken when it focused on the characters that made the lore of the world
First tekken character I ever used and only
I neeed to see one for Lee Chaolan/Violet
Please do more
what programm do you use for the images?
The voice of Alucard narrating my favorite Tekken character. What's not to love?
this made me like Yoshimitsu again
Always wondered how Dr. Bosconovich was connected with Yoshimitsu, since I remember something about him appearing in his tekken 3 cutscenes. Now I know!
Can't wait for more of these lore videos, eagerly awaiting the Mishimas, Hwoarang, Bryan, Ogre and more!
dr bosconovich made the first jack! which is something i didn't know before i looked into it.
@@TheLoresmith Woah didn't know that either! See this is why we need your videos! :D
I think there is some connection between Bosconovich and Bryan as well. Also Alisa is like a daughter to him, kind of like Pinocchio/Astro Boy. Now that I think about it he is pretty integral to the core story.
Can't wait for Michelle's anime lore 🥰
Almost finished, soon! 🙏
I can't wait to hear the next character's story soon! Michelle, Jack, Law or Kazuya? We get to see Yoshimitsu's true face at the beginning of the video before he wore the mask.
Maybe in that exact order!
Michelle Chang's Tekken 1 Story it is.
