    Honestly, Heihachi injecting himself with some sort of superhuman substance is probably the only logical reason as to why and how he’s survived so many death experiences. I mean, Kaz only survived because of his devil gene, which essentially is his supernatural abilities. Same with Jin when he took a bullet to the brain. But nobody truly understood how Heihachi lived for so long. He seemed like just a normal human being. But I guess his blue energy powers as well as insane durability probably is the result of superhuman tests.

    Quick correction for the end: The Devil Gene is only gone from Jin and Kazuya. As far as we know, Reina is the last fighter in the franchise to harness the Devil Gene. As to whether or not she will take the top spot as the strongest fighter in the series, that is the answer we won't get until Tekken 9.

  • @tekkenaddict1
    @tekkenaddict1 3 місяці тому +9

    Id argue that you could put Azazel even lower if you really think about what happens to him through the game series. Azazel:
    - Is sealed away by Zafina and her group at the beginning of Tekken 6.
    - Is defeated by Lars and Raven (Two humans).
    - Returns in his golden form and is defeated by Jin with ONE PUNCH.
    - Gets trapped and sealed in Zafina's arm.
    - Returns and gets absorbed by his own apparent underling in Kazuya.

    • @blackdarkness6798
      @blackdarkness6798 3 місяці тому

      Zafina and her group didnt seal him at Tekken 6 start, where you got that from?
      He didnt get beat by Raven, Lars doesnt mention to Jin he beat him with Raven together, he says he took care of him, unless you wanna tell me he beats Alisa and Jin too with Raven, when its not the case in cutscenes or shown
      Also Lars is a Mishima, beat Heihachi and had a tie with Kazuya and Jin before the end of Tekken 6 campaign, Raven is ninja agent also that held his own to Heihachi in the game prologue as shown, dont act like these are regular humans
      Jin uses amps from the devil gene to put a forcefield and get powerful enough to one shot Golden Azazel, why you make the scenes sound less impressive when it shows more then you tell
      Zafina T7 bio says he barely escaped in spirit form after T6 events, how is Zafina sealing his spirit a counter against him....also T7 and T8 shows how even then she struggles to keep Azazel under control barely
      Devil Kazuya was stronger then both Lars and amped Jin respectively, let alone how is that a counter to him....are we gonna take away credit losing to strong characters.....

    Questions... if angel stale mate devil jin and devil jin is over Super Gramps Mishima, ogre, and Azazel... why is she not over them as well? Next is that Heihachi fought devil Kazuya, the same version akuma did. He was able to tire him back to base. Akuma fought the same devil, a tired version because he just finished a full battle with Heihachi. If it's canon, He clearly didnt defeat Kazuya. If it's not canon, he was arguably defeated by a laser, kazuya survived. So either way, Heihachi has shown more impressive feats than Akuma so i think hes over Akuma based off what we know. I want to talk Azazel placement too but i dont have enough info thought out and time to make a proper argument, so i want to think he's over jinpachi, but for now I'll let that one go.

    • @smuggrog9821
      @smuggrog9821 3 місяці тому

      Akuma is over Heihachi because he is taking in to account his feats and lore in Tekken and the Street Fighter verse when it comes to this ranking. Which if we are considering both verses for Akuma then it makes sense, Akuma in his base form was able to sink an island with a single strike, split a mountain in half in his own verse, fought and even killed the strongest characters in his verse and is overall considered to be the pinnacle of strength in his verse. Heihachi has never shown that level of power, so it makes sense to put Akuma over him. The main problem with this logic is that is the Akuma in Tekken actually the same one from Street Fighter or is this an alternate Akuma that is a separate from the one in the Street Fighter verse? Cause if the latter is the case, then what we have is essentially a featless Akuma which does put into question his ranking and overall power level.
