I love that each character speaks in their native language and through the magic of fiction they all understand each other.

They purposefully left jin out of this story as Tekken 7 story is named as "Mishima Saga" Jin is mishima because of his bloodline but refuses to be identified as mishima. He calls himself a "Kazama" which is his motherside family(His mother name is "Jun Kazama"). His mother was the only thing keeping him sane. After his mother went missing. This is after he realized he had devil blood after learning about his father. Jin till Tekken 7 was more of an anti-hero maybe they will change him to a hero in tekken 8. He just want to end the devil bloodline hence the purpose to kill kaz. Like you saw in tekken 8 trailer it will be between the next generation of father and son.

The voice of the speaker is so funny, he's like "My house was burning. After that I looked for my mother, but she wasn't there" with the Terminator voice. And i love how the characters talk to each other in different languages and still understand every single word. Also, could you react to the different character endings?

1. Lars is probably the closest thing to a true protagonist main character this series has ever seen. He was the main character of Tekken 6 and his journey with Alisa, Lee, and Raven (a Wesley Snipes ninja) was the story mode essentially. Lars's goals and motives have been consistently selfless and for the greater good. There's not much purity when it comes to the Mishima story, but Lars and Alisa are about as pure as you can get. 2. The dichotomy of Kazuya and Jin is such a beautiful and telling story about how our experiences we have lived have more of an impact on who we are as people than the circumstances we were born into and raised under. Both Kazuya and Jin were born with the Devil Gene to fathers who were...questionable at best. Kazuya grew up believing his father murdered his mom and then his father tried to kill him. Jin was raised by a loving mother who was killed by a "monster" that was connected to the Devil Gene. Kazuya grew up hating Heihachi and had the sole goal of killing him. Jin grew up hating the Devil Gene and had the sole goal of ending the bloodline of the Devil Gene. The "funny" part is that they both are willing to go to EXTREME measures to achieve their goals, something they both inherited from Heihachi.

You guys forgot the special ending. After Kazuya throw Heihachi from volcano. Akuma showed up and the fight still continue.

47:55 You've definitely got the right way to enjoy tekken's story Bethany there's some people and stories that you can cheer for and are likeable if you are invested and hooked if not then this is a good place to put a pin in tekken since your basically all caught up now. But if you're interested there's a video called '' the insane lore of tekken '' it's very informative and hilarious but pretty long for what you're guys are used to I would recommend cutting it up for one game or if it's to long two games at a time since it covers the seven games. But you don't really need to it's just up to you guys if you found it fun and wanna dig deeper

My way of seeing things, Kazumi, in devil while being choked, was trying to trick Heihachi to kill him. He knew that & felt regret killing her. SHE triggered the Heihachi we know. HOWEVER HE TRIES TO KILL KAZUYA INSTEAD OF RAISING HIM TO BE BETTER THAN HIM & HIS WIFE. WHICH LEADS TO HIM BEING A SHIT TO JIN. ALSO HEIHACHI SCREWED UP LARS. HE RAISED LEE LIKE GARBAGE. HE CO RAISED JIN WHEN KAZUYA WAS THOUGHT DEAD THEN TRIED TO SHOOT JIN WHEN HE WAS DONE WITH USING HIM. Heihachi SUCKS. Kazuya in turn SUCKS. Jin caused WW3 so the devil gene could be wiped but turned out to be a LIE & Jin lives with the guilt & WILL ACTUALLY TRY TO FIX HIS MISTAKE unlike Heihachi & Kazuya. Jin is the hero but a hero who thought doing anything to be rid of the evil would atleast do good & was willing to take the punishment only for it to fail & now as a fallen hero will try to end the big conflict without such awful alternative methods (maybe) & likely doesn't see that he will be redeemed in the public, however, he knows Kazuya is evil & will kill him with the power he hates so much. The Devil Gene.

Oh no, now I want to rewatch all the cutscenes from previous games

Glad you guys are getting through this. One of the richer story modes in Tekken history.

Definitely not Definitive: "Tonight we're reacting to all Tekken..." Me: "Tag Tournament 2 win poses and/or special tag throws???" Definitely not Definitive: "... 7 cutscenes." Me: "....damnit." Someday..... Someday....

I love the way they don't realise they're chearing on the bad guy during the final battle. Kinda funny it has to be said. One of the most devastating conclusions to a game. Great video.

I think at the poin when Kazumi attacked Heihachi he had already locked his nice father Jinpachi away to slowly starve to death so even then he was a jackass but Tekken lore is definatley a bit unclear and filled with retcons so who knows at this point.

I will not stop campaigning for Tekken 5 endings! But I'll take more Tekken content anytime 👍👍

Tekken Blood Vengeance is a movie that I always liked for Tekken and it gives a lot of characterization to Alisa and Xiaoyu if you guys are interested in reacting to that

Tekken 7 could be considered a movie due to how many cutscenes we’ve seen! Especially with how Jin’s story connects with Kazuya and Heihachi’s!

Amazing reaction video, love the review afterwards and especially the life lessons/experience/psychological analysis from Bettany. Gives me stuff to think about too.

Ooh Tekken 7. Very nice. I think this one was the better of the Tekken series games. I enjoyed this one a lot

I thought Nina's voice actor sounded so extremely familiar and then it clicked me. It's the same voice as The Boss of Metal Gear Solid 3. The one thing I love about the Tekken universe is that everyone speaks their native tongue, but perfectly understands each other regardless. Either everyone are linguistic geniuses, or humanity never built the Tower of Babel in this timeline. :D

I'd love to see you guys react to all the character endings of the franchise, they're fantastically entertaining, if ranging in the quality of storytelling from time to time. A bit more about Nina; she's a cold blooded assassin that has an intense rivalry with her sister Anna. And by intense I mean they once had a days long gun battle lol. She is so utterly focused on the job, to the point where (I'm not actually sure if this is still canon) she was brainwashed as a child to feel as little emotion as possible. Neverthless, there are still points throughout the series, especially early on, where it's hinted that she might feel more emotion than she lets on. Couple bits of trivia about her, she's the only female character to appear in every main game so far, and she's also the only Tekken character to have a solo spin off game! It's called Death By Degrees.

If you want to know who's Lars. He's 2nd Heihachi's son and Jin's uncle. P.s. Check Tekken 6 campaign. There's Lars story and now he's in 7 version, plus many others😉

Ok. That "Fight Night Friday!!!" was too adorable! I love it!

Goki is the orginal name of akuna but some western people felt the name was not menacing enough

The thing is I'm pretty sure the wife was from the Hachijo Clan a clan of assassins with the demon gene. Was actually sent to infiltrate and kill all the Mishima's from a very young age. Which also includes Kazuya her son since he has the Mishima's blood. Proven when she asked akuma to do so in her place if she fails. So his wife didn't turn into a devil she was always one just waiting for the right time to strike like a true assassin.

Can't wait for Tekken 8.

“You’re a heartless bastard” And heachis son kazuya is even bigger heartless bastard and you both cheered for him in the battle so it evens out XD

"What would you do, if there was a child right in front of you?" 1:26

Fun fact tekken holds the Guinness world record for longest-running videogame storyline

Great reaction! Love your videos

Really enjoyed the story. Some parts could have been better written and presented but I loved the final showdown between Kazuya and Heihachi at the end. Hopefully Tekken 8 steps it up and brings the story to a whole new level!

The dark humor of the game literally making you use the base throw input to toss Kazuya off the cliff though.

The rage art that Devil Kazuya is the one that takes 30 seconds, i mentioned this before in one of your older videos, if i remember its when u reacted to all of the rage arts in Tekken 7

My personal favorite fighter in Tekken is Lili (Emilie De Rochefort), not so much her character as much as her fighting style. I fully expect to get a lot of flack for playing as her. She's just very light on her feet and I love that even if many people hate playing against her because of that. As a character she's... not the greatest. She's not a bad person, just a little spoiled maybe. Super rich and fights just for the fun of it. Not a very strong fighter, don't think she has won a single tournament canonically, but not the strongest in the game either. The bad part is that I can only play 1, or 3 matches max in one session as my body gets overrun with too much adrenalin that even my hands shake and get super sweaty.

The journalist's cutscenes with the guitar have always reminded me of Namco's other game, Ace Combat 4. I recommend you two give that as well as other Ace Combat game a try😊

Hi I just have a suggestion for what game you could react to next. Since you two have been reacting to a lot of anime based fighting games, I think you two would enjoy watching "Jump Force - All Ultimate Attacks and Transformations".

You know I wonder how they all can understand each other when they all speak different languages

Thanks for sharing you two👍

When I thought all hope was lost I remembered "Fight night Fridays"

The king of iron fist finally falls✊🏿👊🏿

Thing is Kazuya did way worse things. Infact when he took over his dad's company everything the company did got even worse and more evil.

Reacting to tekken 6 would be a great addition! Good vod as always!

That game was so awesome

Nina works for whomever pays- up to and including killing her sister's fiancee. She is definitely not Black Widow. Tekken has a fair share of stereotypes; it also has a slew of characters that completely break the mold. There are good guys Ling, King, Paul; but everyone in the game is a shade of grey, except Panda and Ling. JIn's mother Jun would also be an example of the right thing done the right way... except she's got some current issues of her own, like being dead and possessed. The Hachijo clan are Onis of retribution and balance, They punish the wicked and corrupt, the human sides handles worldy stuff and Onis handle the big stuff. Yoshimitsu has directed his clan to a very similar vein, but his sword is pure evil, for only evil can understand the hearts of evil, which is why he uses it to dispatch villains. Gouki was likely saved by Kasumi from Gen, a world class assassin whose body literally exudes poison, he's used it so often. Gouki and Gen fought for years until Gouki finally defeated him for good. "eyebrows" Kazuya actually uses static electricity to hold his hair in place. Jin actually addressed Ken's final point in Tekken 5: Dark Retribution; he really doesn't care how's he's judged, taking the world back from the silent supernatural schism that existed for ages is all that matters, and since the death of his mother Jun and him learning the truth of his father and grandfather, it's been his sole goal and anyone in the way is a problem, no matter how well directed their intentions might be. He doesn't care about being the villain of the story as long as the story ends with people being free from the looming danger ahead. Ling and Paul have both pointed out to him that the end never justifies the means but the death of his mother has set him on a path he refuses to leave even though he knows he's causing as much pain as he hopes to end.

This one is missing the special ending with Akuma. Other than that Welcome to the world of TEKKEN.

You know... now that I think about it with the MC of a Journalist, I'd say is highly perspectivly smart to puzzles together.

For lore I would definitely check out the Tekken 6 cutscenes for the Mishima’s. A brief description of everything is there. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrWTiNyGrNezl4U.html

Just subbed today! Watched alot of your WoW and League reactions. About to watch some Warhammer ones! I Highly Highly recommend Weshammers Necron deep dive video. The Necron lore is filled with pain, sorrow, suffering, but ultimately leads to the most badass 40k Faction imo. There is alot in the video besides the lore and idk how hip you are to 40k yet but I know you will appreciate the story and Weshammers telling of it (he is a gifted story teller).

15:00 Goddammit Tekken 5 intro remaster makes me nostalgic af

They should react to the Endings of various characters from all the TEKKEN games, that would be a great REACTION!!!

This akuma isn't the same akuma from street fighter. This one is native to the Tekken universe and is a completely different version

You guys made it to Tekken now Dead Fantasy when? Fight Night Friday is the best way to fit it in.

The one cutscene was missing Akuma comes back after heihachi was thrown and Kazuya said I knew you fakes your death and then they both fight until the island gets destroyed and we will know who won in tekken 8

I highly recommend TEKKEN the motion picture From 1998 This covers mostly Tekken 1-2 and at the and the beginning of Tekken 3 A key person missing from Tekken 7 is Jun Kazama Jin's mother from Kazuya This film does a WAAAY better job telling the beginning story of tekken

He farts himself in the middle of the conversation between kazuya and Heihachi 😂

Thanks for everything y'all do. Love your content. (Helsreach soon I hope? If not, totally understandable)

To give you a little bit scoop on a Mishima.. Hitachi is the father of kazuya who is the father of Jin .which makes heihachi the grandfather of Jin .. somewhere on the line haihachi got some random girl pregnant which we don't know who and became the father of Lars or his legitimate son . In that sense what makes laws that half brother of kazuya and the uncle of Jin... And they all hate each other..

I think on Fight Night Friday must be very magical if you react on the "Dissidia 012 Encounter Quotes" videos This is a many videos about fighting calling Final Fantasy Dissidia 012 where crossovered part of Final Fantasy (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, 11, 12 and 13)

You guys should definitely react to the Neegan gameplay trailer for this game.

I liked how you guys cheered for the bad guy at the end there.

you guys should see the Insane lore story of Tekken, if your interested in understanding the characters.

RIP Heihachi voice actor.

There's a Tekken animated movie on Netflix, released this current year. It focus on Jun Kazama and Jin Kazama's story. Maybe you can check it out on your other channel you want more Tekken.

Since you guys liked Lee and Nina, here are some notes: Lee is a super charismatic character, also he is mostly inoffensive, unless we throw mishimas into the mix. Lee was adopted by Heihachi at a young age and went through a harsh training and even got to study business in general. A lot happens and when Heihachi gets the Zaibatsu back from Kazuya on Tekken 2, he beats the hell out of Lee so he just vanishes for nearly 20 years. During this time Lee created Violet Systems, got his life back on track, decided to leave that revenge stuff out of his way. He has a good life now and when he found out about Lars he decided to talk to him and help him against the Zaibatsu and G Corporation. Overall, Lee is a good guy, just not to mishimas, he already plotted to end them and even kill them. He hates both Kazuya and Heihachi. About Nina tho....Oof... Nina is ruthless, cold and overall, not pleasant. Nina has a sister called Anna which she hates/doesn't care about. Since their childhood, Nina was the favored child. They both come from a family of assassins, the thing is, Nina was always better than Anna at it. So Anna tried to be better than her and failed everytime, she even tried to learn how to cook (something Nina was not good at) and their father answered that it was something futile that wouldn't help the their family as assassins. After some cryosleep shenanigans, Nina and Anna awaken, they were put into cryosleep at the same time (Nina didn't know about it). Anna decided to do that so Nina wouldn't stay beautiful for longer than her, but also because she couldn't live in a world without her sister. Nina lost her memories during the process, so Anna decided to try again, start anew. When Nina recovers her memories though, she ain't happy and they immediatly go into sibling rivalry once again. Nina is not necessarily evil, but definitely not good either. She is ruthless, give her money and a target, and she won't hesitate to pull the trigger. She only hesitated with Steve Fox, her son which was made using her ovum during her cryosleep (no consent). However when Steve fights her in Tekken 7 and demands answers she basically says, that yeah, he came from her, but he will never be her son, and says that he is only a thorn at her side at best. I would like to think she is lying, and i know that is a complicated situation but damn...There are better ways to put it, y'know? Still a badass tho.

I like how they forget Lee beat up the android girl😭

Normal people: Oh my God! Help! It's a devil! Heihachi: That's what i waiting for! 😂

3:30 damn the coincidence! Im african and i love how the check mark appeared precisely where my country is❤love and support from Gabon you guys💚💛💙

1:20:10 "SNAAAAAAKKE!!" "LIQUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIDD!!!"

I love Tekken so much. The main character not being a good guy. None of the main names really. Heihachi and Jin also did a lot of awful things out of selfishness. So you are put in a spot as a player to choose whom you consider the lesser of the evils. But even if Kazuya is a hard choice to pick you still feel sympathy in that moment when he has the flashbacks to Heihachi throwing him off the cliff. Even his red demon eye fades slightly as if showing you that the Kazuya struggling to get back on his feet at that moment is the same grief stricken child that tried to stand his ground in vain years ago. When Kazuya finally defeats his father and ensures his demise, Heihachi's words echo in his mind showing that despite their differences, they did agree on one thing. Fighting is about winning. Being the last one standing is all that matters. Regardless of how it is achieved. I'm excited to see where Tekken 8 takes the rivalry of Jin and Kazuya but I don't think the world of Tekken will know peace until no remnants of the Mishima remain.

I would like to see your reaction on Tekken Blood Vengeance, its a movie that reveals the Devil Jin final form, and the story is interesting.

oh yes, long all cutscenes reactions! there is still hope for darksiders cutscenes

I still can't believe that they made the special guest of this game a not only a part of the story but a big part of it

1:17:05 ish: Eye hope you guys in the end saw eye to eye on the cyclops-subject. ^_^; Took a vote with a third person, so the *ayes* would have it.

Oddly i can imagine Kazuya surviving molten ash being devil....but Heiatchi?......thats some over powering CHI or in japanese called KI

I love your vids 🥰

One of the things that I like about Tekken 7's Story Mode is that it showed Nina wasn't completely coldblooded and uncaring as her characterization poses her to be. In fact, apparently she was the only one who Jin trusted with his plan back in Tekken 6 and, despite knowing how extreme he was going, Nina never questioned and sided with him through and through. It still shows here where she was running the Zaibatsu without him and still defended it until Heihachi showed up, and when she saw Jin was in good hands with Lars, she put her hands up and left. One of the more odd friendships in the series, but one that I really like. It's beyond a simple boss and his subordinate thing.

I'd love to see you react to the supers from My Hero One's Justice 2. The anime it's based on, My Hero Academia, is a lot of fun, and given that you guys like superheroes, I think you'd enjoy watching it.

Good reaction

the thrid EYE Lazer is more like Lord Shiva god of destruction would be known for

You kinda have to play the fight to understand Heihachi killing Kazumi. It's by no means a guarantee she wouldn't just kill him with all her powers if he let her go. Winning the fight almost feels like luck sometimes since she can just decide to fly up and blast you with a laser at anytime.

Tsym 🥰 I hope you guys can react to tekken tag 2 interactions too that would be really cool

i feel like some of the conematis lose a bit being cut soo roughtly with out the fight but it was good anyway

Tekken 7 is really good and has insane cutsecnes fights. Kazuya finally defeats Heihachi. But more importantly Akuma is in the game story mode 😃.

Finally..Thanku ken and Bethany waiting since you announced that 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗.

Well if you guys want to see nina like black widow maybe check death by degrees,she also the only tekken character that have their own game.also u guys can check the fight between nina and anna in tekken blood vengeance it is good

Can you guys react to the actual fight scenes and combos? I mean after all the cut scenes aren't complete without witnessing the fighting

Kasumi is worst than heihachi and kazuya. She tried to murder heihachi and kill lazuya for no reason. She failed and deserved to get her neck snapped.

This was great! Now you’s need to react to the Tekken Lore video 🙏🙌

there is a bonus round after story....Devil Kazuya vs Shin Akuma fighting......though both fight with everything......there is no conclusion who won.....until tekken 8 trailer showed up.....kazuya is fighting jin.....

Tekken 8 teaser trailer just dropped, you guys should react. It's tiny so it won't take too long

By the way, there's a cool Tekken anime on Netflix. Y'all should check it out if you have the time. Its about Jin Kazama back when he was a hero.

Now if only we can see the Tekken Character Endings😏

I think Bethany’s analysis is spot on. A lot of people misinterpret that tekken 7 “retconned Heihachi into a good guy.” Heihachi is still an evil SOB, he is the source of all the series conflicts, and he definitely deserved to die. Kazuya’s hatred is justified but now he’s too far gone. Heihachi was ultimately undone by his own philosophy that “power is everything” with Kazuya as the embodiment of their twisted desire for power. Now that he finally got his revenge what else does he have left? He’s got no reason to hide his wickedness anymore so the war goes on until Kazuya dominates the world or until Jin stops him. Also Jin is definitely the hero of the story but he’s far from a Boy Scout. Even since tekken 3 Jin was driven by the same desire for revenge as his father. By tekken 4 he tried to purge any connection to the Mishima’s even abandoning the fighting style but it still comes from a place of bitterness and hate. I’m really looking forward to tekken 8’s story and seeing the conflict of Kazuya, Jin, and Jun Kazama come full circle.

After seeing your reaction to the silent hill intros, i really want to recommend the lengthy video "30 creepiest monsters from Silent hill explored in detail" by the youtube channel "Marvelous Videos" if possible. EDIT: Or really any video that explains some of the silent hill monsters.

Fight Night Friday!

I saw Tekken reaction...I dropped my current video and clicked. 👀

I love Tekken 7 Ken and Bethany it's awesome 👍💪👊

Heihachi did a lot of bad but in all fairness he was trying to get rid of literal devils

Hey there! But just a suggestion for a reaction, you should react to all bayonetta 3 demon masquerade abilities!

1:25:06

You guys should react to love death and robots

Huh, I thought Akuma was just a fun bonus Character in this Game, I didn’t think he would appear in the Story.
