@@pedrocavalheiro3825 True

Well in Heihachi's mind he was toughening Kazuya up. Which did in fact work out.

​@@edmpunkfire7793he actually loved Kazumi and shed tears at her death, but he had to kill the devil.

He also shot his own grandson after using him for bait

That old man survived things that no else would lol He didn't sugarcoat it

that is not just true, it's canon

​@@Paronakkazuya would never do that lol

He’s the living embodiment of the gigachad meme

How was is akuma's story?

Indeed.

@@Tha-mountain Because it's tek-ken

I find this the perfect opportunity to remind people that Akuma is/was a fruit vendor. Strictly speaking, he is not an evil person. Yes, he's killed a few people, but it should be said that they were incredibly strong and barring his master, he's killed pretty much only bad guys. And his master was glad to die at his hands. He does not oppress, let alone kill, anyone weaker than him -- in fact he will defend them sometimes -- and he backed out of a fight with Gen once he realized he was ill. He fought Oro and they both realized they were evenly matched and if they took the fight seriously, they would more than likely have killed each other, so they stopped. He's probably the best example of a morally gray character that is infamous for using evil powers, literally called "evil intent," and even spouts some edgy one-liners sometimes... without actually doing anything inherently evil.

Yes! I couldn't agree more! Kazuya has an understandable reason for turning out the way he does, specially considering he's also carrying the devil gene.

it’s like a Sergio Leone movie

The kanji for fist, "ken", also means sword, so in a very yoshimitsu style, it's sort of a pun.

The cursed sword is also called Yoshimitsu, what if the sword is instigating its wielder to sign it up to the tournament? Then, the real participant is the sword, and the sword is not using a weapon, it's using the fists of its wielder.

But then still have Ganryu chase after the fighter with Michelle's moves (her daughter...coincidence? Lei arrests him for perversion!), Tradition (Kazuya and Jin constantly taking over corporations and end up being evil...mostly), even though it's just kinda humourous they all hate their father, so why mimic them? Anna seems like more of the innocent sister after all, and I grew up thinking she was the evil one that was with evil Kazuya and fucked with her sister's memories. I didn't know Heihachi also raised Panda and rewarded Xiaoyu, I thought she had beef with him based on her ending! Panda thinks she is too old for Kuma?? That's it?? That's hilarious.

@@Anonymous_1827 it's spelled like how you spell the N-word so it goes like "NIGERUNDAYO" but this word is the appropriate way to say run away in Japanese

I think you're confusing him with Heihachi? Unless there's number symbolism here that I'm missing, in which case do correct me. For some oversimplified context: Mishima = 三島 = "three" + "island" Jinpachi = 仁八 = "humanity/virtue" + "eight" Heihachi = 平八 = "peace" + "eight" [I assume this is what you meant?] Kazuya = 一八 = "one" + "eight" Hachijou = 八条 = "eight" + "article/clause" Kazumi = 一美 = "one" + "beauty" Kazama = 風間 = "wind" + "interval" Jun = 準 = "to correspond/to be proportionate [to something]" Jin = 仁 = "humanity/virtue" I guess the main takeaways from all this are that Tekken 8 is going to be epic, and that Heihachi's lack of imagination when it comes to names precedes the Kumas and Panda, because "Kazuya" is just a mashup of "Kazumi" and "Heihachi". ...And also that Kazuya had likely talked with Jun about his family life prior to being thrown into lava, seeing as Jin was clearly named after Kazuya's beloved grandpa.

@@phytohormones Bruh I never realized that Jin name is literally the first kanji from Jinpachi's name. Really shows how Kazuya really loves his grandpa. Also I kinda hope one of the new character will be from Hachijo clan but that might just extend the story even more huh.

i think kazuya is an anagram for the yakuza mafia it has something to do with that

@@phytohormones Actually Kazuya DOES mean *peace* FYI: It's similar to the character 'Kazuhira' Miller whose first name also means peace.... It's actually a plot theme in MGS Peace Walker where he and another character 'Paz' have a discussion about their names mean *Peace* ✌🏾. But yeah Kaz's name means peace, I remember hearing it from a dev discussing the name when back when Tekken 4 / 5 came out. Also, just Google the name Kazuya, and it's literally the first result showing the name meaning peace

@@curtisjackson4090 I looked it up, and while you're right (thank you, I genuinely didn't know!), it's a little more interesting than that. "Kazu", written with the kanji "和" instead of "一" (any applicable kanji may be used for the "ya" part, it's the first one that is relevant), can indeed mean "peace". "和" on its own actually just means "harmony", but when combined with "平" into "平和" (= "heiwa"), it results in the standard, commonly used, normal word for "peace"; the association between the two kanji is quite strong. Kazuhira Miller's first name is written only in katakana, as "カズヒラ", but this "peaceful" meaning is still implied; I'm therefore assuming (I don't actually know for sure, unfortunately) that the usage of the "和" kanji is common in "Kazu" names and a Japanese person will infer this meaning even with a different kanji. This gets me to my point: "和" is notably NOT the kanji Kazuya's (and Kazumi's) name uses; he just has the number "one". He is pointedly and intentionally not "peaceful", despite being given the opportunity to be. It gets better: as I wrote above, Heihachi's name IS, ironically, written with a "peaceful" kanji (平), the first one in the normal word for "peace" (平和). If Kazuya's name were written with that second kanji (和), as "Kazu" names often are, the father-son duo's names would, combined, mean "peace"... and, perhaps, they would be a peaceful family...? But it isn't, and they aren't. And so, they are instead the dysfunctional mess we all know and love.
