you do knwo your going to have redo thsi video now thart dlc story for tekken 8 is gonig to be thing as if you dont re do then this wodo no longer bte the full tekken
I'm pretty sure it's to continue the ogre powers needing devil gene plot and withoit jin or kaz having the genes right now it means it should be a nice one sided beat down ( reina already top 5 without awakening her gene)
Great recap, I know very little about Tekken lore. Other than the fact that there's a bear, some guy wearing a jaguar mask, and that the main characters have this weird obsession with throwing people off mountains. This really helped break it all down. Appreciate it!
What an amazing video ! I've been playing since Tekken 2 and I loved the transitions between the games using the intro music to introduce each game. Thanks for making this 🙏🏾
Ah snap, Tekken 2 was where I started too 😅 Thanks so much, really glad you liked the transitions between games I had a lot of fun putting those together. Thanks again for the kind words and really glad you enjoyed the video
i hope new fans interested in the lore realize that tekken 7 is told from Heihachi’s pov and he is an unreliable narrator. T7 storyline was his propaganda
It's about rich people who are crazy about martial arts and power, throwing tournaments to prove themself, and throwing theirs sons at cliffs and volcanos. also making pacts with the devil and became the devil themselves...I LOVE TEKKEN SO MUCH
I haven’t played a Tekken since tekken 3 when i was a kid. Decided to get tekken 8 and the game is great. Needed to catch up on the lore tho. Thanks for the vid.
Glad you're enjoying Tekken 8, and it brought you back to the series. Thanks for watching, and glad the video could help you get caught up with the story again
LOVEDDDDD this!!! :D TY so much! I first played Tekken when I was 7 years old on the first playstation. I am 36 years old and will always love Tekken. I wish they made more movies of it like they did with Mortal Kombat
Never understood why people liked Kazuya over Jin, other than him being the first protagonist, casuing nostalgia to kick in. To me he's pretty much just emperor palpatine, one-dimensional pure evil. Not very interesting.
@@JustinSeizure Kazuya being one dimensional? The guy who has severe ptsd and never felt love in his life but still respects his son while his father never respected him? That Kazuya?
@@SpacemarineHelldiver PTSD? I see no signs of that. Only rage and hatred. Respects his son?? You mean that single time during their last fight in T8? I swear you guys have just thought up stuff in your own heads through assumptions. The story doesn't convey those notions at all as far as I can tell. Is Kazuya cool AF and an awesome FG char? Absolutely. Is he a deep, interesting and unique character? Hardly. He is a well made cookie cutter villain. His story, while horrible, is generic and straight forward. It's Tekken, not Breaking Bad. And that's fine. Just don't pretend it's deeper than it is.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it! Yes I don't know the date yet but there is new story content coming, when it's out I'll definitely be making a video on it
Amazing Tekken lore video, my first tekken game was tekken 7 and i was very confuse with the story and with tekken 8 out i was even more confuse but thanks to your explanation it made way more sense
Great video. Very detailed (update. According to the Classified Archives of The T8 DLC, Kazuya Defeated Heihachi in the Finals before taking him to Honmaru. The story was retconned 🙄)
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it! Also thanks for the info! Super useful as I'm working on a video covering the new DLC chapterd and all the new story stuff it includes. Hopefully they don't randomly decide to retcon anything else 😅
I really Love the Tekken Series so much, it is actually my Favorite Fighting Game, my Favorite's are Tekken 5, and Tekken 6, but I haven't Played Tekken 7 or 8 yet, somehow soon in the Future, when I get a Steam Deck.
Its funny ive played every tekken since ps1 days and have been a hardcore fan of the gameplay i never really cared much about the story, but now Im enjoying the lore. Makes it feel more complete for me 😂 and must tell a lot about me subconsciously......I always play the villans 😮
I understand that the devil gene is what made Jin and Kazuya strong, but what was it that made Heihachi strong. He survived close-range explosions, he was able to stand after being blasted with Kazuya's devil gene beam, and he had some sort of white lightning power. Does the lore explain where the Mishima get their powers from?
A theory I have, especially now that Heihachi is apparently come back to life is that Reina sold her soul to the devil and became a devil herself to bring back Heihachi.
Nobody "sold" their soul at any point though. It's a gene. It's in their blood at birth for whatever reason, or manipulated afterwards which could be Reinas case
I don't understand how Reina got the devil form when it was given to Kazuya by Kazumi, not Heihachi. I'm going to assume that Reinas mother was from the same clan as Kazumi.
That's all we got at the moment I guess. We know he was experimenting though, so maybe he was successful in what he thought wasn't a success many years ago and abandoned.
Heihachi did not beat Kazuya in tekken 4 story, if he did he would’ve also been in chains. Kazuya won and they went to hon maru where Jin defeated both of them.
Thanks for watching, I know it's kinda weird but apparently all 3 endings from Heihachi, kazuya and Jin are partially correct. Here's what I found in my research. "(Three endings are partially canonical in Tekken 4, the first part of Heihachi's, the middle part of Kazuya's, and all of Jin's. Heihachi is the winner of the fourth tournament, having beaten Kazuya in the final round. (The battle at Hon-Maru takes place outside the tournament). Kazuya's Tekken 5 character profile confirms that he lost to his father in the fourth tournament.)"
@@TheTransformersFanChannelunfortunately Kazuya lost to heihachi in T4. If kazuya had won then he would have been the head of mishima Zaibatsu and he would organise Tekken 5.. heihachi went missing and jinpachi took over in lieu of heihachi. The honmaru fights weren't public so none knew Jin was the real winner
tekken 1-6 dont abuse children because it will comeback to stab you in the back tekken 7-8: it was the child's fault, always was, always is. parents never did anything wrong. they are perfect, even when they aren't :)
@@syzorstwhat do you mean how? Jin starts a world war to awaken a demon that wouldnt have woken up if he didnt start a world war. Heihachi shows up again for no reason. Fucking Akuma shows up to not kill anybody like usual and does nothing because of some promise that he’s 40 years too late to uphold. Atleast kazuya stayed the same lunatic he always was.
idk which family is more f'd up between the The Tejada's the St Patrick's or The Mishimas cause they all Street as hell and gangsters and try to always tryna kill each other

Have i already watched 4 different tekken story videos? Yes
Am i gonna watch another one? Yes
Haha, I'm totally the same that's how I ended up wanting to make my own 😂
thanks so much for watching,
Hope you enjoyed the video!
Have I already forgotten everything I didn't play myself again? Also yes
Same
Out of all the Tekken Lore videos I've seen, this one is the most updated I've seen. Very well managed and narrated. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words,
Really glad you enjoyed the video!
I think Reina is just a way to prolong the series, but the Jin Versus Kazuya is already such a perfect and poetic ending to it all
yeah they wanted to add a random ass villain to an already convoluted story
I'm pretty sure it's to continue the ogre powers needing devil gene plot and withoit jin or kaz having the genes right now it means it should be a nice one sided beat down ( reina already top 5 without awakening her gene)
no dude its not no that was not perfac ending hedra todl you tekken 9 is the end of the sere sso ntoin is be preologned

As someone who joined the tekken community midway into tekken 7 (thanks to akuma), thank you for the well done story walkthrough!
Great recap, I know very little about Tekken lore. Other than the fact that there's a bear, some guy wearing a jaguar mask, and that the main characters have this weird obsession with throwing people off mountains. This really helped break it all down. Appreciate it!

As someone who picked up this series from Tekken 8, I really appreciate videos like these! Thank you. Great way to get myself up to speed.
Hey, thanks so much!
Really glad that the video helped you get up to speed!
same! i got into Tekken by playing Tekken 8 with my brother at my aunts house :D

It's about rich people who are crazy about martial arts and power, throwing tournaments to prove themself, and throwing theirs sons at cliffs and volcanos. also making pacts with the devil and became the devil themselves...I LOVE TEKKEN SO MUCH
Definitely the best Tekken lore video 👍 Great sleepy time material too
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it!
Got into Tekken 7 and im hooked
Tekken 7 is such a great game, it was the first one that really made me want to try and learn all of the characters
tl;dw
Men with funny hair assert their dominance by throwing eachother off high places.
For someone who doesn't have any devil genes and is an 80 years old man , Hihachi is a gangster
all the Mishimas are Gangstas
The Mishima's are the Japanese version of The Tejada's and St Patrick's combined
I haven’t played a Tekken since tekken 3 when i was a kid. Decided to get tekken 8 and the game is great. Needed to catch up on the lore tho. Thanks for the vid.
Glad you're enjoying Tekken 8, and it brought you back to the series.

Probably one of the better tekken story videos but it's a beast!
I used to not like jin but after tekken 8 i have a new found respect for him. But Kazuya still reigns supreme.
Never understood why people liked Kazuya over Jin, other than him being the first protagonist, casuing nostalgia to kick in. To me he's pretty much just emperor palpatine, one-dimensional pure evil. Not very interesting.
@@JustinSeizure if we’re going based off your logic Jin is anakin skywalker

Jin walks by in typical jin fashion 😂😂
I hope theres a story expansion dlc, now that Heihachi is alive again. Nice video man, I like it.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!
Yes I don't know the date yet but there is new story content coming, when it's out I'll definitely be making a video on it
i love how the story progressively gets longer each and every game and how it reflects on the video's episodes
I still think Reina has a connection to ogre - aka the successful clone he made with the DNA
Yes I agree, I think that Ogre's DNA and the cloning experiments are too big of a plot point to not have a significant impact on the plot
Maybe Reina is a mix of Jun, Ogre, and Heihachi.
@@PunishedLank jin is more likely since heihachi captured him in 4
Amazing Tekken lore video, my first tekken game was tekken 7 and i was very confuse with the story and with tekken 8 out i was even more confuse but thanks to your explanation it made way more sense
Thanks man! Yeah the story is quite crazy and hard to follow at points 😅
Really glad that the video helped out
Just the worst dads and best hairsprays honestly.
Thank u for this I swear I always wanted to know the actual story of Tekken

Tekken 8 creators really liked Naruto.
That meme of Jin walking past his mother still leaves baffled 😂
A Little late to the party but I'm going to enjoy this one
Loved it and will listen on loop! Thanks for making this video ❤
Thanks so much really glad you enjoyed it!
Great video hopefully we get a part 2 with the new DLC story added

Well, Heihachi Mishima,.... is ALIVE, you can narrate the next Tekken 8 storyline soon,.......

You’d think the Mishimas would take a lesson from the Highlander and removed the heads of their enemies. 😅
I understand that the devil gene is what made Jin and Kazuya strong, but what was it that made Heihachi strong. He survived close-range explosions, he was able to stand after being blasted with Kazuya's devil gene beam, and he had some sort of white lightning power. Does the lore explain where the Mishima get their powers from?
8 went full anime with the power of friendship and frieza death balls lol
It really did, the angel jin transformation was really giving me super saiyan vibes too 😅
Didn’t jin had amnesia in tekken 4 and learned a new style
Kazuya, Jun and Jin deserved better, Tekken needs to end with the family being together and showcasing a healthy rivalry against Kazuya and Jin.
Watching this because i bought tekken 8 recently and im not gonna play story mode unless i have complete knowledge
A theory I have, especially now that Heihachi is apparently come back to life is that Reina sold her soul to the devil and became a devil herself to bring back Heihachi.
Nobody "sold" their soul at any point though. It's a gene. It's in their blood at birth for whatever reason, or manipulated afterwards which could be Reinas case
Tekken 8s story seems so weak by comparison. I love tekken 8, but everything leading up to it is so kool (minus akuma being canon).
Takken is like the Baki of the fighting game genre
HEIHACHI DID NOTHING WRONG!
Worst dad of the year
@@Thebeastofthelantern EWGF u, bro.
@@Thebeastofthelanternidkm kazuya might be tied with him there
Jin killed a bigger score of innocents than Hitler, by waging war on the war.
Tekken 4 Story was amazingn
This family loves cliffs and volcanoes 😂
so thats what reina is ogre and devil gene nice
I don't understand how Reina got the devil form when it was given to Kazuya by Kazumi, not Heihachi.
I'm going to assume that Reinas mother was from the same clan as Kazumi.
That's all we got at the moment I guess. We know he was experimenting though, so maybe he was successful in what he thought wasn't a success many years ago and abandoned.

Great video.
But what does "dorya" mean?🤔
Hey thanks for watching!
I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's just a kind of battle cry so I don't believe it has direct meaning/translation
@@RESRetro I don't buy that. There has to be a translation, you can't throw it around with no meaning
Jinpachi best grandpa of the year award❤❤❤
As someone who has loved Tekken since the 90s let me just say, the lore makes absolutely no sense
And now the main antagonist of Tekken 9 is gonna be Reina herself i guess
Depends on how DLC goes, but I got that feeling after beating the story too
What's the song from 1:05 to 1:20?
Hey thanks for watching,
the track is the intro song for Tekken Tag Tournament: ua-cam.com/video/5QVG9jY8EZ0/v-deo.html
