Sadly retconned version of the story, i preferred when it was before Tekken 7. In short that Heihachi dropped off Kazuya to see if he’s worthy to be a true Mishima and inherit Mishima Zaibatsu (that Heihachi literally stole by imprisoning his father Jinpachi) and Kazuya in order to survive the fall from the cliff made a pact with the Devil. The retcon made no sense since it tried to make Heihachi look good but in fact he was always evil and power hungry which can be seen in any other cutscene with him in every single Tekken game.
@@xan187 I don't think they retconned it completely. In the T1 part of the Tekken recap they have in the game, Heihachi still says to Kazuya "let's see if you have what it takes to control the Zaibatsu" so it's still somewhat in there. The stuff about what he did to Jinpachi is still true.
The fact that Heihachi has three sons and a grandson and still loves the bear more than them explains a lot about him and his whole family relationship.
@thedreamingsinger2083 At least in modern mk, there was only 1 tournament. Hell, even in mk vs DC there wasn't a tournament. Idk much about the og and 3d Era games but in the modern games the tournament angle barely exists
Actually Jinpanchi was a good guy and he loved Kazuya... He probably loved Jin too but He had to find someone strong enough to kill him so the demon inside him couldn't completely take over him
At least he had a Damn Good Reason for it. Let's be real here Heihachi and Kazuya would've done worse and Kazuya currently is. Jin just wants to put an end to his families dysfunction and it is bad enough that the Devil is part of it
@@bruhman9262Azazel would eventually destroy the world, Jin just sped things up and tried to initiate the end of the world while he and dozens of greatest warrior of all time are still alive.
Well it’s really pretty easy to explain yoshi. He’s a samurai with a sword that hungers for the blood of the wicked that also happens to be named Yoshimitsu, he is and also isn’t the same one that was in soul caliber, and he MAY be an alien.
For the first time it seems every single character will have a role in the story of tekken 8. Everybody will be featured sp I guess they going out with a bang
@@derrozThey won't do shit but fight robots and soldiers in the background until the real fight happen with jin and his daddy. Same way with street fighter and ryu.

Oh wait because it theorized a new character in Tekken 8 Reina may possible be a student or the illegitimate daughter of Heihachi. She also has his fighting style, I guess bro celebrated to hard and got one of his fans pregnant. Lol
“So Kazuya made a boxing Kangaroo and a boxing dinosaur, and at one points the boxing kangaroo gets married to another kangaroo and has a kid. Then the boxing kangaroo gets kidnapped and his wife and son go to rescue him. But it turns out the boxing kangaroo was actually just cheating on his wife so she dumps him.

@@kingslim2870 no? The first 2 games were just about Heihachi wanting to fight a worthy opponent, pretty fair and square if I recall correctly. The third one got a bit more complex due to Ogre but it still was mostly just a King of Iron Fist Tournament. And now we have a third World War. There's even no canonical titular Tournament since Tekken 5. Also characters back then fought in a tournament for money, now they participate in a literal war, some are there by government's order, some are PMC and some just want to avenge somebody but that's pretty normal even for older entries.

Not the best because he committed a mistake on Kazuya and his mother. Heihachi did NOT have a good reason. Kazuya's mother was actually good, she only wanted to punish Heihachi because she notice how evil he was, the dude attacked his own father.
Easy: Street fighter: Ryu, a badass karate guy is bored so he goes all around the world beating dudes to be the strongest dude beater. Mortal Kombat: Johnny Cage wants to be famous and mess around with a tournament that was supernatural and forbidden for his own good, but he wins it and make two movies that are super successful.
@@Rodikaku65 Jinpachi was a good man who was not only buried alive by his own son, but then resurrected by The Devil and was still somehow not nearly as evil as any of his progency
Jinpachi wasn't evil, he got possessed after being defeated not before it. In fact Kazuya's mother wasn't evil either, she was in fact punishing Heihachi for his evil actions. She was shown to be in control even in her devil form.
YHVH is omnipotent Hitler watching over all the multiverse(but sometimes he's not the boss there), Seraph and Stephen are saving their respective parallel universes, Hazama's universe gets harassed by cultists every now and then, Other Side gets harassed by a different god every few years, Demi-Fiend helps Lucifer to gather an army for Apocalypse (not to confuse with SMT IV Final) travelling through different universes and that's pretty much it.
