nemesis316 Hes actually a good guy, he wants a revenge cuz of Heihachi cilled his Mother, like what Jin does. But Jin became weakness en badass in Tekken 7 en Kazuya defeated Akuma and Heihachi
I love Kazuya, because it's so rare for games to actually make the hero become the bad guy. Imagine if Street Fighter actually let Ryu give in to the dark hadou, and Alex or some other new protagonist had to take him down. That'd be awesome.
Prog Nation If you want another example of what you said there's this game called Prototype where the main character goes bad in part 2, Alex Mercer. Its a pretty cool game you should try it out. And i know lol hEELLLAAA Late comment.
I really wish they would revisit that Kazuya vs. Paul matchup in canon. That would be such an epic cinematic battle, and Paul deserves better than being strictly relegated to comic relief.
That is why Paul was one of my favorite characters in Tekken. He defeated Kazuya inthe past as was mentioned in the past games. He even defeated Ogre, but did not defeat his true form, and almost won the the 3rd tournament if he had not been blinded by his pride.
Kazuya= Vegeta in reverse! In the first Tekken game, he was portrayed as the main character and seemed like a good guy. Once he beat his father, he ended up becoming just as bad if not worse...
Super8hypnosis No he isnt an evil, he just want a revenge on Heihachi, and it works. Kazuya became the king of Tekken 7 and defeat Akuma and Heihachi, Jin is worthless now
@@suleyman618 he is evil, very close to evil incarnate having revenge on Heihachi is not his only wish, When he thought that he killed Heihachi he corrupted Mishima zaibatsu even more.His lust for power is almost equal to Heihachi . Though it might be connected with his strong belief in survival of the fittest.
You know, one thing I really like about the Mishima bloodline is that electric aura that follows all their attacks, it's really bad ass and it makes them seem godlike in a way. I remember the Tekken 6 campaign where Heihachi is training and he just stomps on the ground and electricity just crackles around him like a bad ass. There is also another scene where Lars is fighting some Tekken soldiers and one of them is behind a wall so at top speed, Lars just runs at the wall, punches and dents it which hits the soldier, and the soldier just gets electrocuted with electricity before falling over, and Lars didn't even physically touch him. The Mishima's are bad asses and the Devil Gene just makes them more of a threat.
mostly because for the first time in gaming history he turned from protagonist to main villain. What is more, the idea of protagonist becoming so cruel.
@wwemusicfanC well that's according to us the player, if you think about it, it's easy for us to absolutely desimate everything that azazel ever was and will be. But lore wise, and universe wise? Azazel truly was the end.
@wwemusicfanC I quite agree with you, he didn't really feel that say, especially after becoming an after thought. But it was a huge deal in universe, and it makes sense that reoccurring threats like heihachi, jinpachi, devil etc to have a bit more presence to the player than Azazel. But the importance of this is the fact that In the GAME'S universe, Azazel was the end, and jin saw that, and made a flawed mistake, that was justified in his eyes. Unfortunately tekken's story is do zaney and fast paced that it moved on quicker than my ex 💀
What did not kill Kazuya made him even stronger. Kazuya tossed into a volcano any normal human being would die. But, Kazuya survived meaning he is not human.
Kazuya is definitely my favorite Mishima due to his personality and how his character directly mirrors his play style. He truly has become inhuman through the Devil Gene and especially after his reconstruction. At first I thought Jin was one of the good guys but honestly the last good Mishima was JinPachi. Kazuya was completely corrupted and even Jin has caused the loss of possibly millions of innocent people by waging a global war against all countries. There doesn't seem to be any more heroes left in Tekken.
That's what different with Namco games. Both Tekken and Soul Calibur have changing characters, it's not only black and white. Some were evil and become good or some were good and become evil, it's somehow more realistic. And of course some always remain one side or another but it somehow shows that the story is evolving. Other games may have that but not as much as Namco games (Well not that I know, you can correct me if I'm wrong).
No other game character in history has is or will ever be anywhere near as badass as kazuya. I used to think Akuma was ruthless, fuck that kazuya took it to another level and that's why I main him.
+Shao Kahn let's see. Akuma killed his brother, and tried to corrupt ryu. Yup Kazuya definitely is more cruel then he is, hell he makes Akuma look like an angel
Not a huge tekken fan myself but when people constantly say "who?" they are saying that for the sake of being mean. I'm mean the internet is right in front of them.
Tbh...I'd respect tekken more if Jin defeated the evil inside himself and Kazuya and then they fought together and ended on a good note rather than Jin Killing Kaz.
Imagine what Kazuya would have become if his father did not mess him up when he was a child. But evil or not, Kazuya will always be my favourite tekken character along side Jin Kazama and Raven.
the only thing you forgot to say was kazuya finally took full control of the presence known as "Devil" aka the Devil Gene in tekken 4 when he entered the Hon Maru
In my personal canon, Kazuya didn't have devil gene inside him. Upon near death Kazuya made a deal with the devil, who bestowed upon him the devil gene, basically inscribing its own essence into Kazuya. It's like a biological marker that works as an enslavement tool for devil to not only control Kazuya, but also corrupt Kazuya's children, if it so chose (which it did with Jin Kazama). Unfortunately for the devil, Kazuya got the taste of what full potential of his demonic form had to offer, so he basically broke the stranglehold of the devil and severed himself from the devil's control, now only occasionally falling to its influence. Basically, after Tekken 2, Kazuya was no longer devil's puppet, but his ruthless mindset and the seek of ultimate power remained. I don't care about Kazumi's "Demon clan" or whatever it is, imo it was a really dumb retcon. Some folk say that the devil gene was a major retcon, but it is compatible with the original storyline.
Hey Kal! Awesome videos, I love being subbed to this channel! I don't know how much attention you give Smash Bros but whenever a fighter from a popular 2D arcade fighter is announced I often come here to learn about them! I can hear the passion in your voice and can tell these characters and their stories mean so much! I'm glad I had an older brother to show me SF2 and MK3 while I was growing up fighting games have a special place in gaming! Thank you for putting so much effort and dedication to your videos they are always fantastic!
I came here to try and understand the lore but all I'm picking up is that Kazuya and his father proceed to "kill" each other for 3 times, always failing
*sigh* I wish that Kazuya Mishima WASN'T a bad guy from all over the Tekken series/franchises. I wish Kazuya could've been more like Ryu from all over the Street Fighter series/franchises: The Main Hero/Protagonist, The Path of the Warrior, fruits, food, helping people with their problems, helping and protecting the innocence in need, traveling around the world, find his Inner Peace, nature, getting rid of his Devil Version of himself (A.K.A, Devil Kazuya), caring for his beloved mother and grandfather (Kazumi and Jinpachi Mishima), being friends with other fighters and people, caring for others who're helping him of his Devil Gene problems, learning the Mishima Style Fighting Karate from his mother and grandfather, listening to mother's teachings about not killing, Anna Williams (TRUE Love Interest), Nina Williams, Asuka Kazama, Zafina, Jinpachi Mishima (Teacher/Grandfather), Wang Jinrei, Bruce Irvin, Hwoarang ( Friendly Rival), Ganryu, Marshall Law, Paul Phoenix (Friendly Rival), Eleonor Kliesen (Friendly Rival), Steve Fox, Prototype Jack (Friendly Rival), Shaheen (Friendly Rival), Lee Chaolan (Friendly Rival), Lars Alexandersson (Friendly Rival) saving people's lives, his title (Son of a Distinguished Family), being helpful to other people and being a kind, caring human being. The ONLY things he DISLIKES are: his Evil Alter-Ego (Devil Kazuya), Devil Gene, his Evil father (Heihachi Mishima), his Evil Archenemy (Jin Kazama), killing innocent people, letting revenge/vengeance consuming him into Darkness, letting power go into his head, his Evil father (Heihachi Mishima) for killing his beloved mother and grandfather (Kazumi and Jinpachi Mishima), Bryan Fury, Feng Wei, Sergei Dragunov and Ogre (Ultimate, Heartless, Bruteful, Merciless, Soulless Villain) and the Mishima Zaibatsu. This is the type of Hero/Protagonist I want Kazuya Mishima to be from all over the Tekken series/franchises: A Kind-Hearted Martial Artist Hero/Protagonist. I also wish that he WASN'T the Husband/Father to Jun and Jin Kazama. I ABSOLUTELY don't want that. And, I also don't want him to be the Adoptive Brother to Lee Chaolan and Lars Alexandersson. NOPE. I want Kazuya Mishima to be the ONLY Son/Grandson to Kazumi, Jinpachi and Heihachi Mishima. That's all I ever want Kazuya to be. Kazuya Mishima: A Badass Martial Artist Hero/Protagonist from all over the Tekken series/franchises. Kazuya could've been Fallen in Love with Anna Williams INSTEAD of Jun Kazama. Wish that could've happen.
Heihachi threw Kazuya off of a cliff, presuming him dead Kazuya threw Heihachi off of the same cliff later in life, presuming him dead Heihachi throws Kazuya into a volcano, presuming him dead once and for all Kazuya leaves Heihachi behind to die in a massive explosion, presuming him dead... Anyone noticing a pattern here?
Kazuya's evil was a self fulfilling prophecy caused by Heihachi. Heihachi chained Jinpachi under Hon Maru both to steal his company from him and make Kazuya more ruthless. He also threw him off the cliff to see if Kazuya had the Devil Gene like Kazumi had which he did. Heihachi may have loved Kazumi at one point but he probably wanted power and world domination long before they met which was why the Hachijo clan sent Kazumi to kill Heihachi. It may not justify Kazuya's evil actions but his abusive dad murdering his loving mother and granddad, Heihachi's belief that his abuse would make Kazuya strong enough to inherit the Mishima Zaibatsu after his death, being thrown off a cliff for having the same Devil Gene as a his mother and the struggle with his Devil side explains why Kazuya became the monster he is now.
Kazuya is my guy in Tekken. He's my main play character followed by Yoshimitsu and Bruce. His theme song is one of the greatest music compositions in gamin history. I wish they'd give him more shine over his edgy, emo son and his deluded father because Kazuya deserves, plus he has the best Devil form!
Technically, none of the mishimas were "truly" evil. Heihachi threw his son off the cliff because he found out that he fucked a demon and suspected that his son is also a demon, Kazuya become ruthless because he's possessed by his demon, And Jin started a war because he wanted to stop baby demons.
There's a fan fiction where Lee chaolan and Kazuya were fighting and then they did anal sex it was a gay fiction and he licked Lee's hole after a rape in Thailand. I can't make this up. Also in the story Lee snorted coke. It's called taint by M. Mishima
Mother: Don't kill your father and grandfather even though they're hunting you now and will most likely continue to do so! Jin: The f*ck? I must be going crazy.
"After his apparent demise at Heihachi's hands (volcano), Kazuya's remains would be recovered by the G corporation, a cutting edge bio firm and rival with the Mishima Zaibatsu, with assistance from the G corporation, Kazuya begins to slowly learn how to control the devil gene." ..........what?
Elliot Jay could it be something like his remains meaning arms legs or what ever was found but for the most part his body meaning his head torso was still intact was there thus still him being alive because of the devil gene and then they put him back together ie the g corporation the arms legs etc and then he learn in the meantime to control the devil gene how's that for an explanation
akuma not killing anything .. the G corp raider Kazuya will end that low health shoto and send him back to Street Fighter .. you saw how he handled ryu in that street fighter x tekken trailer back in the day !!!
U forgot to add Kazuya used to be a sneaker collector lol he was a legit sneakerhead it said it on the Tekken 1 book that Kazuyas hobby was collecting sneakers.
Kazuya is the original protagonist and should be the focus of Tekken, not Jin like many think. Because they needed a more younger make to pander to fangirls they invented Jin for Tekken 3 onwards but personally I always preferred Kazuya. He's just so damn badass and cool looking. Jin is just another angsty teen with a silly gothic looking unoriginal devil form. Kazuya is better.
It's a little strange that Kazuya gave half his powers to Jim when Kazumi didn't have her power when she had Kazuya. It would make more sense for the characters to be at full power when they are born, unless the devil gene is like a parasite that passes itself from one host to the next.
Dear uncultured smash players! Please watch this video and educate yourselves since majority of you don’t know who he is and don’t even deserve him in smash.
I seriously think that a lot of these History of Tekken Characters should have an updated version of them. Mainly to let people know what happened to certain characters during the events of Tekken 7.
Looking back at Tekken, I learned that it was actually a more darker fighting game than the others...

He was partly based on Vegeta.

Tekken summed up in a few words:
“Dad no”
"daddy issues"
"A fight is about who's left standing. Nothing else." this is the best summary of Kazuya.

+History behind the warrior @7:56 That clip was from Tekken: Blood Vengeance, which is canon. though there is some continuity snarls.
tekken blood vengeance is non-canon
Not canon
How many fucking times does this father and son relationship involve throwing each into a cliff?
Heihachi threw Kazuya off of a cliff, presuming him dead
Kazuya threw Heihachi off of the same cliff later in life, presuming him dead
Heihachi throws Kazuya into a volcano, presuming him dead once and for all
Kazuya leaves Heihachi behind to die in a massive explosion, presuming him dead...
Anyone noticing a pattern here?
Kazuya's evil was a self fulfilling prophecy caused by Heihachi. Heihachi chained Jinpachi under Hon Maru both to steal his company from him and make Kazuya more ruthless. He also threw him off the cliff to see if Kazuya had the Devil Gene like Kazumi had which he did. Heihachi may have loved Kazumi at one point but he probably wanted power and world domination long before they met which was why the Hachijo clan sent Kazumi to kill Heihachi. It may not justify Kazuya's evil actions but his abusive dad murdering his loving mother and granddad, Heihachi's belief that his abuse would make Kazuya strong enough to inherit the Mishima Zaibatsu after his death, being thrown off a cliff for having the same Devil Gene as a his mother and the struggle with his Devil side explains why Kazuya became the monster he is now.
Kazuya is my guy in Tekken. He's my main play character followed by Yoshimitsu and Bruce. His theme song is one of the greatest music compositions in gamin history. I wish they'd give him more shine over his edgy, emo son and his deluded father because Kazuya deserves, plus he has the best Devil form!
Kazuya aint evil, hes misunderstood
"Kazu yo minigga"
thats what i love about the main characters of Tekken. There are no good guys, so you'll just need to pick a side
Technically, none of the mishimas were "truly" evil.
Heihachi threw his son off the cliff because he found out that he fucked a demon and suspected that his son is also a demon,
Kazuya become ruthless because he's possessed by his demon,
And Jin started a war because he wanted to stop baby demons.
There's a fan fiction where Lee chaolan and Kazuya were fighting and then they did anal sex it was a gay fiction and he licked Lee's hole after a rape in Thailand. I can't make this up. Also in the story Lee snorted coke. It's called taint by M. Mishima
he is tragic villain, whose hatred might be understood, but he is still evil.
He is very open in his cruelty killing and torturing others
Kazuya is now in Smash Ultimate!!
You know I'd figured Heihachi would be the one in Smash, but I'm still glad Kazuya got in.
1:21
That expression is the first time I feel Kazuya portrays a futurama character. :3
Can you do a history of Ryu Hayabusa from ninja gaiden? That would be awesome.
Do Dante from devil may cry and dmc Dante
yea he should tha 2
Kazuya’s devil version inside hes head pushed the neutral kazuya and killed jinpachi
2:22 this face is gonna give me nightmares
What song is that on the outro?
Mother: Don't kill your father and grandfather even though they're hunting you now and will most likely continue to do so!
Jin: The f*ck? I must be going crazy.
I’m gonna get yelled at for saying this but:
I gotta learn about the new smash character I don’t know anything about
Enjoy the show
@@christophermartin6614 I watched this and a Tekken 7 explaination, seems confusing
Just play tekken 7 and you'll be alright
@@lucylu3342 got a spare copy?
Don't make stupid comments if you don't wanna get yelled at I guess 🤷♂️
R.I.P. Heihaci, Congratulations Kazuya
0:58 dude, please tell me the name of this song! It's beautiful!
Soknheith Yeah, pls somebody tell
+++++++++++++++
Awesome man. My favorite fighting game character
"After his apparent demise at Heihachi's hands (volcano), Kazuya's remains would be recovered by the G corporation, a cutting edge bio firm and rival with the Mishima Zaibatsu, with assistance from the G corporation, Kazuya begins to slowly learn how to control the devil gene." ..........what?
yeah.....as a life long tekken fan my answer would be just don't ask...
+Elliot Martin Kazuya got blown the fuck up and G corp put him back together. Kazuya then went after his dad and you get the point.
Elliot Jay could it be something like his remains meaning arms legs or what ever was found but for the most part his body meaning his head torso was still intact was there thus still him being alive because of the devil gene and then they put him back together ie the g corporation the arms legs etc and then he learn in the meantime to control the devil gene how's that for an explanation
Elliot Jay lol maybe I'm reaching being a devoted tekken fan and all
EL's servant0715 The whole volcano and missing limps you mentioned reminds me of Darth Vader lol
akuma not killing anything .. the G corp raider Kazuya will end that low health shoto and send him back to Street Fighter .. you saw how he handled ryu in that street fighter x tekken trailer back in the day !!!
perhaps it's the hair and being a total badass, but I always thought of Kazuya as Vagitta and Jin as Goku
Confirmed for smash
What’s that intro song? And the soundtrack of the video?
awesome video dude seen almost all of them, and totally miss tekken.
My boy, kazuya.
He’s coming to smash now
U forgot to add Kazuya used to be a sneaker collector lol he was a legit sneakerhead it said it on the Tekken 1 book that Kazuyas hobby was collecting sneakers.
Kazuya is the original protagonist and should be the focus of Tekken, not Jin like many think. Because they needed a more younger make to pander to fangirls they invented Jin for Tekken 3 onwards but personally I always preferred Kazuya. He's just so damn badass and cool looking. Jin is just another angsty teen with a silly gothic looking unoriginal devil form. Kazuya is better.
Tekken 1 and Tekken 2 was Kazuya the Protagonist
Trying to study up for Challenger 10
It's a little strange that Kazuya gave half his powers to Jim when Kazumi didn't have her power when she had Kazuya. It would make more sense for the characters to be at full power when they are born, unless the devil gene is like a parasite that passes itself from one host to the next.
Papa!!Kazuya, I love you💗💗 Jin!! I love you too 💗💗💗
when you thought Kayuza was Jin's brother...
Dear uncultured smash players! Please watch this video and educate yourselves since majority of you don’t know who he is and don’t even deserve him in smash.
They don't deserve anything good, period.
I know the Smash community is literal Cancer but but holy shit dude...
Yeah Kazuya is too good for that community but he deserves the slot as much as anyone
Spitting facts!
He’s the father of Jin ???? NEVER KNEW THIS 🤯
Great story I found out more about Kazuya & the Mishima blood line
I seriously think that a lot of these History of Tekken Characters should have an updated version of them. Mainly to let people know what happened to certain characters during the events of Tekken 7.
really liking this series so far, I hope you plan on doing more tekken characters
and today he joined the pantheon of legendary video game characters by being added to smash bros 👀
