Harada mentioning years ago that without the armor Yoshimitsu is basically a modest Japanese man in a suit is pure gold. It really suits someone as kind and humble as Yoshi.
@@danielcook7975Also also, the sword (named Yoshimitsu) is the exact same sword passed down from the generations of Soul Calibur to modern day Tekken. All the Yoshis wield it.
Man I'd be so crazy and wild if some of the creators were watching some visual history vids of max like just the off chance their just taking a break from what their doing in turn on UA-cam because they are on break
@@mmm6325I hope it's real like the Tekken 1 booklet thing, that says Nina likes Tom and Anna likes Jerry, and that's all we need to know about these girls.
Fun fact: Yoshimitsu's alternate costume in SFxTK is stated to be him channeling the spirit of the very first Yoshimitsu, so, in a way, you're playing as SoulCalibur Yoshimitsu when you pick that costume.
@@seanmcbay One reason I think that is actually common for Yoshimitsu fans is because comparably Tekken has a whole cast of diverse character designs and personalities which belong more to the modern era, whereas in SoulCalibur it feels like Yoshimitsu actually _owns_ his role in the series with "I'm the lovable crazy spinny sword samurai guy." In Tekken he's just "that bipolar freak that was a squid a few months ago" (or years?) As much as the flip flop of designs make him stand out in Tekken, he's also kind of lost his core identity because of it. Which is why it's great that they are going back to his roots that made him cool to begin with for Tekken 8.
For those that don't know, Tekken and Soul Calibur take place in the same universe. The one from Tekken is a long descendant from the Soul Calibur's Yoshimitsu who started his own clan; in fact, the Yoshimitsu from Soul Calibur V was the first descendant refering as Yoshimitsu II. But that game got retconned, we should be getting another Yoshimitsu II another time.
@@EternalStorm796 I remember that back in the day, that was a theory. Specially because of the focus on "eyes" the two use to have. There's barely any Soul Edge in the world after years of fighting, with a just a few pieces left, but one of whatever clan Kazumi comes from (I forgot the name right now) put it inside his/her body. Kick starting the Devil Gene from the years to come, or something.
I was kinda hoping that Zasalamel would be in Tekken era as well. Just to be the leader of UN, the intergovernmetal organization where both Ravens work with.
Yoshimitsu would be such a good guest character. Dude literally impales himself so it’s such a good fit. Kazuya maybe too. They’re okay with being brutal with him but it might depend if they want to mutilate him
Yoshimitsu's constantly changing designs feel like an "organic" counterpart to Jack. I'd love to see Max do a visual history on the various Jack models sometime down the line.
Same here. I was and still am a big fan of T7 as i was with Lobster and the green one that looked like the unupgraded Lobster. It doesn't hold a candle to cheese head, which i'd love to see in a rendition of in T8, but an alternate that goes the space route would be amazing.
Yoshimitsu is so varied design wise, anybody can say any Yoshi is their favorite and it would be reasonable (Except maybe Tekken 1). My favorite is Soul Calibur 5, cause of the mask and hellfire theme.
What I love the most about Yoshimitsu is that you can see how he started as a clear human being in weird bodysuits in the first two Tekkens, which also carried over to SoulCalibur, his most human look being Tekken 2's 1P, we can even see his hair, but after 3 they went ALL OUT. Many people think he's a demon or alien or robot because of how he looks and sounds but he is, in fact, an actual human being in weird body suits. Only his sword-wielding arm is mechanical, a gift from Dr. Bosconovitch. Shout-out to Yoshimitsu and Athena Asamiya, the two fighting game characters to feature a completely different look every single game, possibly the two most redesigned fighting game characters ever!
Yoshimistu had some ancient medieval Japanese armor in some Soulcalibur games, including one of the versions had a Oni mask in one of his default costumes🗡️🗡️.
Someone said it before and I totally agree with them: “You know Yoshimitsu is a truly iconic character when he looks completely different every game yet you always immediately know it’s him.”
Yoshimitsu has always been my favorite tekken character. After all the character reveals I was really worried and pretty much sadly accepted that he wasn't going to be in Tekken 8 but after seeing that new trailer and concept art I swear I shed a tear. Not only is he back but he's looking the absolute best he's ever been!
7 Yoshimitsu is amazing. The only problem is that out of all his designs, it's the LEAST recognizable as him. But if it was its own unique character it would be an extremely creative, memorable, and badass character design.
For me the problems with that design are four There's no skelly face It looks very futuristic like iApple suit yoshimitsu The sword design its boring And the Tentacles Physics in game are so wild But at least its very creative
I saw a UA-cam comment which described it best: Yoshimitsu always looks totally different in every game, yet every time you see him, you instantly know who it is!
12:20 - I think some cultural context is needed here because the host really missed the beauty of this costume. With this costume, Yoshimitsu is evoking a sokushinbutsu, which is an ancient Buddhist monk who underwent a process of self-mummification (a real thing). Just do a Google search and you can find photos of their displayed remains. The wheel floating behind him is the dharma wheel, a symbol of Buddhism (similar to the Christian cross or the Jewish star of David). It's actually a really cool, thoughtful design. Unapologetically Japanese.
I dont care if its unpopular but Beetle Youshimitsu is fantastic. Yeah its weird, thats kind of the point with him, but damn does it look cool. That skull and the way the armor is shaped is amazing
I can't play him for shit but I love Yoshimitsu. T2's opening video with the robot hand spinning and making the fist made me immediately interested in the character.
A really neat bit of lore for Soul Caliber/Tekken, is someone was asked how Yoshimitsu can be in SC even though they're in Tekken, and a very simple answer of SC Yoshi being the ancestor of Tekken Yoshi helps a lot
The visual history has become one of my favorite series now on the channel. Love it! I don't always agree with the ratings, but comparing my rating with Max's is half the fun of these videos.
Wow talk about a character that's super interesting to do a visual history deep dive on! I remember playing Tekken for the first time (Tekken 3) and he was by far the most cool/weird looking character of any thing fighting game related that I've seen. Even by today's standards he still holds up as one of the weirdest and most interesting characters in general.
@@EsThirt33n I remember my sister playing with me and we would be amazed by his crazy moveset. We got into a battle and she was using Mistu and she did that helicopter death move from above and won the match and I was like "what the HELL was that???" and she was like "I have no idea, I just buttoned mashed" 😂😂 Characters like Yoshimitsu, Law and Lei were so fun just visually!
I personally still love the design for him in T7. It's out there and weird and alien, but it still gives off some crazy wierd ninja vibes and a cool silhouette.
OG YoshiM was so awesome back in the mid 1990s when Tekken 1 came out. Then Tekken 2 took him to the next level. Ever since he’s just a legendary character to enjoy the character art. Plus his Ninja/Samurai move set is just so badass. Best Tekken character of all time.
I must admit my favourite costumes other than T3 Yoshimitsu was Soulcalibur 2 Yoshimitsu. I'm definitely biased because it was my first Soulcalibur game, but holy shit the purple outfit stuck out so much to me that I HAD to play as him. I really do love the wooden mechanical look, it fits the time period imo.
And you're spot on. Tekken 3 Yoshi is so iconic, it was even used for the Brawlhalla crossover, because green laser sword and the armoured skull vibe are ICONIC.
Having only been familiar with Tekken Yoshimitsu but being aware that Soul Caliber also has a Yoshimitsu, I was kinda intrigued in how this was gonna be done. I like how both SC 6 Yoshimitsu AND Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu are effectively evolved and revamped versions of their previous designs (Ironically sharing similar color palettes as well, not sure if that was intentional or someone on both teams just converging on the same idea). One thing thats interesting is that it sounds like Tekken Yoshimitsu's voice wise is moving much closer to Soul Caliber Yoshimitsu's voice, just something that caught my attention.
Yoshimitsu it’s the most Evolved Character in Tekken that looks Different in every Game he appears but his Designs are pretty Sick and Badass and yet it’s really Confusing.
My friend and I was just talking about this cool samurai dude for the past couple of days and we still stand by the fact that his best design was 3. After that he never had a cooler design until we got to 8 which man does it feel good to see him back!
@@ZinalaG59lol nope, you got it all wrong, my toad. Yoshimitsu's backstory is he is representitive of an entire clan and the title is passed down down after one gets too old so Yoshimitsu is not just one man but many.
I love how Yoshimitsu has changed literally every time he’s appeared, and he’s been in the Tekken franchise since the beginning. It’s kinda crazy that a staple legacy character of a major fighting game doesn’t have like one standard default design that’s they’ve stuck with. Even with the rest of the Tekken cast most of them have stayed very similar to one specific design since their inception. But not Yoshi. And I kinda love him for it, it’s kinda exciting to see what he’ll look like each time.
The fact that, in Tekken 7, he STILL holds his sword like that and _punches with his sword hand_ is... just... absurd. There's not changing something because of legacy and then there's not changing something because of cowardice. The two things that need to go the most in T8 are Yoshimistsu's form (/punching with his damn sword hand) and that horrible PS1-era stage stretching that T7 STILL had in that night time train stage. _That_ was truly unacceptable.
Was always my favorite character in tekken, he looks so badass in tekken 8 compared to his last couple of versions in the last couple of tekken’s. Can’t wait for tekken 8!! 🔥
I like the new design of T8 Yoshi but not that much to be honest. I was hoping they would go for a more BADASS or WICKED new original look. But I do like the fact that it pays homage to T3 Yoshi, an ungraded one clearly.
I actually hated the beetle suit at first but then something inexplicably changed and it became my absolute favorite. I love it. I also really enjoy thst we can see a little bit of his jaw and earlobe in it. It was a nice reminder that he's human.

I bet he and Skullomania would be good friends
@@HellecticMojo so true!
@@danielcook7975Yup. The Yoshis from SC are the predecessors of Yoshi from Tekken. They're of the same Manji clan (the same that Kunimitsu was from)

No one deserves a Visual History video more than Yoshimitsu design-wise.
Yoshimitsu is a visual representation of going down a rabbithole
I must agree 💯
Athena could get one💯

Yoshimitsu has always been arguably the oddest/most interesting looking Tekken character ever.
I know he was in Tekken first but it always think of him as a SoulCalibur character first.
well technically yoshimitsu exited in soul calibur first canonically
He's not a Tekken character, heck he's not even a Soul Caliber character

yeah I also think that it was stated that Heihachi in SC2 got transported back in time when he found pieces of the Soul Edge
I was kinda hoping that Zasalamel would be in Tekken era as well. Just to be the leader of UN, the intergovernmetal organization where both Ravens work with.
This might be my new favorite Dood series.
same here!! so simple but effective lol
Ah, Yoshimitsu. My favorite MK character.
😂😂😂😂
Yoshi and Kazuya deserve to be guests in MK
Hear me out
Kazuya would be a pretty decent MK guest character. And I could definitely see NRS making a burtal fatality with Kazuya’s devil form.
Yoshimitsu would be such a good guest character. Dude literally impales himself so it’s such a good fit.
Kazuya maybe too. They’re okay with being brutal with him but it might depend if they want to mutilate him
Yoshimitsu's constantly changing designs feel like an "organic" counterpart to Jack. I'd love to see Max do a visual history on the various Jack models sometime down the line.
T7 Yoshi is actually one of my favorites, its one of the only designs to lean into the space or alien theme and I like the tentacle/mask combo
Hot damn after seeing it I agree with you, it is really cool and different
He looks way better without it though kinda like Excaliburs proto deluxe skin in Warframe.
Same here. I was and still am a big fan of T7 as i was with Lobster and the green one that looked like the unupgraded Lobster. It doesn't hold a candle to cheese head, which i'd love to see in a rendition of in T8, but an alternate that goes the space route would be amazing.
I know I'm in the minority, but I personally LOVE his default design in Tekken 4. Making him a japanese horned beetle is just sooooo badass!
Oh wow I had no idea that's what he was supposed to be, that explains everything!
I like the Beetle/Bug look. I think it's something about the eyes that I really like.
Yoshimitsu is so varied design wise, anybody can say any Yoshi is their favorite and it would be reasonable (Except maybe Tekken 1). My favorite is Soul Calibur 5, cause of the mask and hellfire theme.
I feel the same way about tekken 7, but also I'm not a tekken player, my favorite yoshimitsu is soul caliber 6
That's my favorite.
"This isn't even my final form!"
-Yoshimitsu in every new Tekken entry

YOSHIMITSU IS A GOAT, easily one of my favorite tekken/ soulcalibur characters
Agreed I main yoshi all the time sense the day I used him in both tekken and soul calibur I haven't used any other character
Yoshimitsu is the best character you could ever choose to do a Visual History
Someone said it before and I totally agree with them:
“You know Yoshimitsu is a truly iconic character when he looks completely different every game yet you always immediately know it’s him.”
This series is so awesome, And Yoshi is a great character for it!!
Oh yes, I do love yoshi from Super Mario bros. Series. My favorite video game dinosaur.

I always loved how Yoshimitsu is a cinnamon roll, but consistently has some of the most badass/intimidating designs
7 Yoshimitsu is amazing. The only problem is that out of all his designs, it's the LEAST recognizable as him. But if it was its own unique character it would be an extremely creative, memorable, and badass character design.
To be fair though can you blame people when he also gets a shark suit?
For me the problems with that design are four
There's no skelly face
It looks very futuristic like iApple suit yoshimitsu
The sword design its boring
And the Tentacles Physics in game are so wild
But at least its very creative

I feel like Yoshimitsu in Tekken 8 looks like a mix of T3 and Soul Calibur 6 and Im loving it a lot. Definitely one of his best designs.
I don't play the Tekken games but every time a new one comes out I immediately check out the Yoshimitsu design.
Yes, we love visual history. Not just MK series. This is very good. Thank you Maxi.
4:12 dopest Yoshi is T4. No Arguing about it.
Yoshimitsu has been my favorite fighting game character ever, I love his wacky elements
I remember being a kid playing Tekken 3 for the first time and instantly being drawn toward Yoshimitsu. He’s always looked the coolest.
😢thank you Max, for being someone who finally shows alil love for T2 Yoshi.

He's a rhino beetle in TK4 his alt was a remake of his traditional oni ninja from TK1
Tekken 3 and 8 of Yoshimitsu are the best outfit design. 10/10. Great job Namco.❤
Nothing gets me more excited for a new Tekken game than finding out what the hell they did to Yoshimitsu's design each time.
Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu design literally looks like he's in like a Devil May Cry devil trigger form and I fucking love it
''we're not gonna do rate the yoshis'' also max: 1:43
"we're not gonna rate the yoshimitsus"
[immediately rates the yoshimitsus]
lol
Seeing the new Yoshimitsu design is my favourite part of any new tekken.
Tekken 3 Yoshimitsu cemented him as my main in basically any fighting game he's ever appeared in.
Now that's my favorite fighting games character. Can't wait his gameplay trailer for T8 and Max's reaction.

Im excited to see Max do more of these. Ive been enjoying them alot more than i woypdve thought
1:27 - It's inspired by Japanese Oni or Nou stuff, I think.
his Shura alt from T7 is by Far my favorite
I'm seriously loving these videos!
I personally still love the design for him in T7. It's out there and weird and alien, but it still gives off some crazy wierd ninja vibes and a cool silhouette.
6:56 best looking Yoshimitsu, I think Tekken 3 he looks too much alien than a spiritual being
Yoshimitsu was a playable character in "Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis" for the PS1 (Heihachi, Eddy Gordo and Pacman too)
Looking at Yoshimitsu’s Tekken 1 render vs his alt in Tekken 4 is peak “you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about” energy
T8 Yoshi being like an upgraded T3 Yoshi is a huge W.
While nothing will EVER Beat the Tekken 3 Design I appreciate that Harada tried to make the Tekken 8 as a Homage.
OG YoshiM was so awesome back in the mid 1990s when Tekken 1 came out. Then Tekken 2 took him to the next level. Ever since he’s just a legendary character to enjoy the character art. Plus his Ninja/Samurai move set is just so badass. Best Tekken character of all time.
Yoshimitsu is just so interesting with how much they changed him. 1+2 were very samurai/knight focused, and then they just went more sci-fi
Thanks ermac/reptile for bringing this series to fruition
9:37, This costume of T5 Yoshimitsu plus the arrows piercing his body customization is dope.
I must admit my favourite costumes other than T3 Yoshimitsu was Soulcalibur 2 Yoshimitsu.
I'm definitely biased because it was my first Soulcalibur game, but holy shit the purple outfit stuck out so much to me that I HAD to play as him.
I really do love the wooden mechanical look, it fits the time period imo.
"The Original Mechanical Ninja"
I love that SC6 Yoshimitsu is like a mix of SC1 and Tekken 1 (and 4, to some extent) designs.
I agree that Yoshimutsu was that one character in Tekken they experimented the most with in terms of design.
This is my favourite series of yours right now. Fantastic.
surprised this hasnt been a series on the channel before
His alt costume in T4 is cool af.
2:44 That ain't nothing close to Guyver, sir dood sir!
And you're spot on. Tekken 3 Yoshi is so iconic, it was even used for the Brawlhalla crossover, because green laser sword and the armoured skull vibe are ICONIC.
Every time Max's videos are over and the outro comes on, I get emotional
Tekken 3 Yoshimitsu is most definitely the best costume hands down
Need more of these, its better than rate the design imo
Yoshimitsu's designs are similar to Zeiram in 1991 and I still love them
As incredible as the new Yoshi looks, I really hope Squid Yoshi is a customization or DLC for T8. It’s just perfect for me.
It's in the game, it's an alt costume :))
Could you imagine the insanity of Yoshi being in Killer Intinct? I'd love to see that/
Love when you kinda stumble into a new video series, like with rate the super.
Yeah Yoshi is perfect for this
Tekken 3/tag will always be his default design in all of our minds
Having only been familiar with Tekken Yoshimitsu but being aware that Soul Caliber also has a Yoshimitsu, I was kinda intrigued in how this was gonna be done. I like how both SC 6 Yoshimitsu AND Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu are effectively evolved and revamped versions of their previous designs (Ironically sharing similar color palettes as well, not sure if that was intentional or someone on both teams just converging on the same idea).

Yoshimitsu it’s the most Evolved Character in Tekken that looks Different in every Game he appears but his Designs are pretty Sick and Badass and yet it’s really Confusing.
I think a Seigfried and Nightmare visual history would work. I for one love SC2 Nightmare
Loving this series keep it up Max!
Tekken 2's is still my favourite, it's simple but it works really well
My friend and I was just talking about this cool samurai dude for the past couple of days and we still stand by the fact that his best design was 3. After that he never had a cooler design until we got to 8 which man does it feel good to see him back!
God I love this series and Maxs knowledge of all things fighting games makes this S+ Tier content !!
THIS IS THE VISUAL HISTORY WE NEEDED
One of my favorite fighting game characters of all time, I've known him (or them) a very long time and the new T8 look is so cool and sleek. (8
Yea I’m sure a video game character is going to care what pronoun you used Lmfao
@@ZinalaG59lol nope, you got it all wrong, my toad. Yoshimitsu's backstory is he is representitive of an entire clan and the title is passed down down after one gets too old so Yoshimitsu is not just one man but many.

I'm thrilled that Max didn't cover the stupid shark alt costume from t7
I love how Yoshimitsu has changed literally every time he’s appeared, and he’s been in the Tekken franchise since the beginning. It’s kinda crazy that a staple legacy character of a major fighting game doesn’t have like one standard default design that’s they’ve stuck with. Even with the rest of the Tekken cast most of them have stayed very similar to one specific design since their inception. But not Yoshi. And I kinda love him for it, it’s kinda exciting to see what he’ll look like each time.
His look in 8 is like they finally heard the fans begging for his look from 3 and Tag Tournament to return just updated, I love it.
Yoshi has such a wildly fun design history that i just wanted to see what weird badass crazy look they'd give him time after time again
The fact that, in Tekken 7, he STILL holds his sword like that and _punches with his sword hand_ is... just... absurd. There's not changing something because of legacy and then there's not changing something because of cowardice. The two things that need to go the most in T8 are Yoshimistsu's form (/punching with his damn sword hand) and that horrible PS1-era stage stretching that T7 STILL had in that night time train stage. _That_ was truly unacceptable.
I'm going to say it, Best Ninja Ever.
Was always my favorite character in tekken, he looks so badass in tekken 8 compared to his last couple of versions in the last couple of tekken’s. Can’t wait for tekken 8!! 🔥
I like the new design of T8 Yoshi but not that much to be honest. I was hoping they would go for a more BADASS or WICKED new original look. But I do like the fact that it pays homage to T3 Yoshi, an ungraded one clearly.
Yoshimitsu should consider getting into tokusatsu shows. HE DOES HIGHHHHH BUDGET SUITS
T3 Yoshi is the best one and the most iconic to me.
Hi max. Thank you for doing these series. I really love it
I want to see Yoshi in other games as a guest character like Sam Sho and Guilty Gear
I actually hated the beetle suit at first but then something inexplicably changed and it became my absolute favorite. I love it. I also really enjoy thst we can see a little bit of his jaw and earlobe in it. It was a nice reminder that he's human.
I think we need a visual history of Morrigan. Specifically from Darkstalkers to CVS2.
I don't even play Tekken and I knew it was gonna be Tekken 3, that design is just perfect and has stuck with me through the years.
