Kazuya having a picture of Jun shows he still has feelings for her the same way Heihachi shed a tear for his dead wife.

I like the interaction between Jin and Xiaoyu in Tekken 8. It give a idea and glimpse of how kind and nice jin used to be before vengeance and his devil linage awaken in him starting from his tekken 3 debut. Before that he was just a nice highschool boy that xiaoyu have a crush and love on. Tekken 8 also show xiaoyu growing up into a more womanly adult and make the shipping for the two become stronger.

If there is a game that needs an update with a story expansion. It's Tekken 8. Not that mk 11 aftermath

Reina looks like Ryuk in her devil form to me

Has anyone also noticed that not only does kazuya resemble Vegeta but Jun has a relationship with him like how bulma does with Vegeta, him being so cold and heartless but somehow he has a soft spot for bulma like how Kazuya does for Jun, so Jin is basically Trunks if he lived up to vegeta’s power 😂

It’s definitely going to be interesting where Reina’s story goes from here. Also, that Tweet has been taken down. So I guess I won’t know what the unreleased stuff was for now.

Kazuya is the only presented Mishima that didn't get a redemption arc and his arc can explore more of the Mishimas true origins and his inner thoughts. Knowing Reina's ending in end credits, she hints of getting her revenge on Kazuya.... but she doesn't know the whole truth of how this entire fued started and what hell her brother went through all these years.

I think Jin would look for other children of Heihachi. He would also have to deal with Reina and Miguel.

I think that Reina might be like Melina and was artificially created when hibachi was trying to research the devil Gene in combination with ogres blood to achieve immortality or at least get back his black hair

Since this year is the 30th Anniversary of the game, I did see a cutscenes that was cut out, hopefully they will do a DLC story, rather than waiting for the next game.

There was one thing that kinda bothered me, where was Yoshimitsu and Bryan Fury during All Out Assault? Nearly everyone was there, even Hwoarang who we saw just a glimpse of him with everybody else before the attack. But Yoshi and Bryan were nowhere to be seen

If theres a dlc story, i imagine it would be Reina taking over the Zaibatsu and possibly even Gcorp since Kazuya is knocked out and in the middle of nowhere. Then Reina enlists a cast of bodyguards and liutenants (the coming and missing characters like Eddy, Miguel, etc) and may go after Kazuya as revenge for Heihachi and may also give Jin a join me or die with Kazuya speech. Ofcourse Jin now is enlightened would refuse and would try to stop Reina or atleast reason with her. Kazuya now on a redemption arc with Jun but i dont think he'd go full good but instead revised his power is everything mentality into power to protect Jun and himself.

If tekken 8 does get expansion that could be interesting

I think it would be kinda interesting if in Tekken 9, Reina is the antagonist and Asuka is the protagonist tasked with cleansing her Devil Gene, maybe even getting training from Jun.

Man I hope it's a story expansion. I doubt anyone's trying to wait another almost-decade just to find out what comes after the cliff hanger 😅

If you look at those shoes, it's Jun. Then in Jun's arcade ending, she is sitting in a clearing with a tent in the back. She also has a G-Corp blanket on her. She rescued Kazuya. He's in the tent.

I don’t think Jin will be the main protagonist in Tekken 9, more likely a DLC character. Tekken started with Kazuya and it should end with Kazuya. I think Tekken 9 will focus on Reina taking over the Mishima Zaibatsu and using her Devil Gene to forcibly take control of the leaderless G Corporation. While raiding G Corporation, Reina discovers Kazuya’s old research data collected after G Corporation recovered Kazuya’s body from a volcano after Tekken 2. With this research, Reina successfully completed Heihachi’s research by splicing her genome with Ogre’s DNA since a Devil Gene user is needed. This research is then used to create a Devil-Ogre powered army whose power greatly surpass the Jack units and any research conducted by Dr Bosconovich, in order to dominate the world. In the meantime, Jun helps Kazuya recover from his defeat in the hands of Jin Kazama. Having lost all motivation to live, Kazuya contemplates to die as he believes he is not worthy of possessing any form of power, and that everyone hates him (even Kazumi). But Jun stops him, and told him the same message she told Jin: his own life is worth saving, and he should not place himself before others. She even asks him if anyone once cared for him in the past other than her, and he immediately recalls memories of his time with Jinpachi and Kazumi. Despite the fact that Kazumi wanted him dead due to his Devil Gene, Kazuya is eventually convinced that Kazumi never wanted to kill him out of hatred and betrayal in contrast to the Mishima curse. With a newfound reason to move on and leave the past behind, Kazuya head off to stop Reina with the help of Jun, Jin, and many others and redeem himself.

Red Oni Blue Oni Theory. Azazel is the progenitor, Japan has the Red Oni and Blue Oni like what Kaz and Jin represent, but Jin in the end was golden thanks to his Kazama blood and became Angel Jin. So who's the new Red Oni? Its going to be Reina. Also Harada confirms that Heihachi was sleeping with other women who knows what bloodline he's spread through out his years might not just be Reina.

I would love to have Reina as the main character for Tekken 9 or continue her story in a dlc for Tekken. I believe she is a test tube baby of Heihachi and Kazumi, plus we are talking about a man that was obsessed with the devil gene’s power so who’s to say that he (Heihachi) didn’t plan for this ahead of his death.

I hope they just gave us dlc about kazuya and if he's alive and also solving Rana story cuz making a Full game will take a long time

Reina will be the queen of the Iron Fist Tournament for sure.

I wonder if Tekken will have a 3rd generation ? Like Jin having a child and he/she will be the new protagonist of Tekken.

I think Jin and Xiaoyu randomly being in the desert on route 331 has to play into the dlc story. Narratively it works. Jin is living life, being happy, but it’s also is such a random location. Plus, it looks like Xiao is explaining something to him.

I predicted alot of stuff that came true tekken despite Reina becoming a character and sister to Kazuya, From Heihachi's mortal death by his eldest son's hands, Jin winning but sparring Kazuya because Jun's influence and he doesn't want to continue the cycle of hatred that Heihachi created, to Kazuya hesitating to kill his son in his battle against him and he did hesitated when Jin was on the ground laying on the rock. Kazuya didn't really want to kill his son intentionally unless he provoked like Heihachi's case because he always brings betrayed and provoked by others. But with Jin's case he when he winning in their final bout, Kazuya looked at his son with hesitation in eyes and was prepared to leave him be, he didn't understand why his son is not like him and his father Heihachi's in a hatred revengeful sense.

Jun is pronounced like the month.

Tekken 8 is jin redemption. I would like to see kazuya redemption next in tekken 9.

Reina could end up being as strong as Kazumi. It seems that the devil gene splits for males but remains whole for females.

I haven't any idea how it's going to be But Honestly the Main Character of tekken series is Kazuya which if he didn't exist the story may exist but not like this Kazuya Mishima Tekken community will never forget your Character I will watting for your arising to Regain The domination and the power You are Fighting for.

I'll see you in 8 years because that's probably when Tekken 9 will come out lol. I mean just look how long it took for Tekken 8 to finally be made and come out.

Great vibes and video! Employ a company like S M Zeus!!!

Just want to ask before i buy tekken 8 first. The current retail base game. It is not in its comolete form yet right? It will still have dlcs,more fighters and expanded story cut scenes right?

It will be interesting to see how Reina was able to manifest the devil gene inside her since we know Hihachi didn't carry it

Ight imma say this going forward tekken 9 will have jun as the protag filling jin's role and reina fulfilling heihachi and kazuyas all while kaz gets redeemed and jin takes a back seat.

Reina’s reign is upon us.

Never been this early for a HBW episode 🔥

Yo can you do THO Asuka, since she has so much wasted potential especially seen in her Tetsuman Comics where an alternate Tekken 6 story is told, although very anime-y, fanservice-y and weird at times, Asuka seems like a much better role for the protagonist role Tetsuman comics also parallel with Tag 2's buddy system of who likes who, and has a nice role for Lars, whom falls in love with Zafina

How do you get the cutscene of how jun survived?

If the devil form of jin and kazuya are gone...than with Rena now having it...its become a problem a good problem and a scary one to. Lets not forget about Lars...even though he is still a mystery and still has the Mishima blood as well.

It seems like Reina will be the new devil and I think she is artificial and somehow her devil gene told her everything she needed to know. Jin should be the new angle now but what about the female angle from Tekken 2 will she make a return or did someone try to make an artificial version of her as well. I can’t wait for a story expansion cause so far they did everything right they just kept the story a little short. Hopfully they are taking notes from SF6 and are thinking about that kind of storyline for create a fighter and you can choose sides which fill up your good or evil side.

Both Jun, Jin, and Kazuya will face up against Devil Reina as their final boss in their respective story expansions starting in later seasons. Also, Jin still has the Devil mark on his arm which is proof that his devil gene is now intertwined with his Angel powers. But for now, both Jin and Kazuya's devil genes are just reverted back to their dormant states, since they basically pushed their devil powers over the limit, for the time being until after the main story.

I know its Jun kazma at the end credits

There are situations in the character endings you can see being canon like Victor retiring and promoting Raven to "Great Raven" (Don't think the actor would return for 9). Another interesting one is Yoshimitsu's which is probably the only really serious one (- ^ ) The nature of his blade may just be related to Azazel and the other clan outside of the Hachijo.

would love to see Oger make a combat

It would be so cool for Bandai to do story expansions but I am not to sure if they did that before and also I thought azrael or whatever that demon name is in the story that kazuya absorbed so is it still alive??

I believe Anna Williams is Reina's surrogate mother and Heihachi used his own genes and Kazumi's genes to create the perfect genetic template. I also believe this story beat has been mulling around Harada's mind for quite some time. I do believe tekken 4 was written to illustrate the capabilities of the biological sciences within the canon. We see my theory play out with 3 characters in tekken 4's story with Kazuya, Steve fox, and Nina Williams, lastly do we even know why Steve has a vague resemblance to Mishimas or who the potential donor might have been?

With so many characters death taking place in Tekken 8 mostly by the heartless Kazuya himself and Jin defeating Kazuya...it does give a feeling that this may be the imminent ending of the francsie for the Tekken series. But when it comes to writing a story there's always a twist 😏🤔

I hope we get a matchmaking fix before all that

Tekken 9 Jun VS Reina

If they make a story expansion, I hope they do more with Asuka. She is a Kazama, who holds the power to stop the devil gene. And since Reina has become the new devil, now that Jin and Kazuya have seemingly lost their devil powers, I would love to see the Kazama and Mishima rivalry continue with Asuka and Reina. But I am fully aware that the chances of this happening is slim to non as Asuka's potential has been wasted after her first appearance in Tekken 5.

Whatever they do story wise, I’m hoping Jin gets more moves. Why his is fighting style only karate??

Looks like Asuka’s gonna have to fight Reina in the ninth tournament.

I think it may be a little selfish for me to hope that Jin and Kazuya team up as father and son to destroy the last known Devil gene that now runs through Reina’s veins, I really think she was spliced with the gene tho like on some test tube baby shit like with Nina and her son Steve because idk how Heihachi got lucky enough to knock up two women who had the gene yet he failed with Lars and probably many others.

Kazuya likes his coffee black and bitter, just like his soul. 🖤

I hope Kazumi Mishima somehow returns to Tekken 8. Her design was so good and it would be cool to it with greater graphical fidelity.

After slugging it out and dissipating their own devil gene ... Jin and Kazuya need to team up against their other "family members" and go after all the other devil genies

also I definitely think "reina mishima" should be how she is referred to from now on. but I'm still pissed off they still didn't pull the trigger on jun meeting jin in real life. it's been 5 games and they are still leaving it ambiguous... also more than anything else I wanna see atleast an explanation for miguel and akuma's fate. give me a throwaway line, anything! lmao

You know.. when I played the story mode I was so excited to see what role Jun played in the story. I was disappointed that I only got to see her shoes at the ending. Which means I have to wait for Tekken 9 and who knows how long we have to wait for that game to come out. Plus we have 25 other Heihachi children mentioned by Harada, which means the Mishima saga will continue on. If it took 30 years to finally conclude the Heihachi - Kazuya - Jin saga. Imagine how long it'll take for the other 25 children. 😅 I don't think i'll be alive to see that happened. Plus Harada and Murray are getting old and gonna retire someday, wonder if the new people who will take over will do the story/game justice.

Harada have stated that the franchise ends with the Mishimas

Every tekken that releases I always say the ending should have been for the previous title if that makes sense. For example Jun returns and was hinted she would be heavy on the story yet she didn’t actually appear in the game only at the end standing over Kazuyas body. This should have been her standing at Jin body in a previous title. She did nothing so far. Even Jin doesn’t interact with her outside of the yakushina Kazama grounds. Harada stated she would be heavily influenced in the story tbh I don’t see where and how so far.

I got a theroy the devil gen is a offshoot of the darkhado that why akuma was in the Tekken game

If Kazuya gets a redemption arc then he'll become even more like Vegeta 🤣.

i hope devil jin returns or we get Angel Jin as like a replacement in tekken 9

Honestly I think Lee buying out the zaibatsu makes the most sense. He has the money to do it and be a great bow on his story

I dont think the ending we got actually happened. I think Kazuya won… the Jin ending is actually true in arcade mode & Kaz bad ending is legit the outcome. Reason being, Harada might throw a nasty twist in that DLC story just wait

I feel like Reina is a clone of kazuya. Bc the lore states that the gene comes from kazuya’s mom. It is stated that heihachi has several kids but he and kazuya’s mom only had the one kid. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Me love Tekken and mortal Kombat myself me not really picky like most fans street Fighter also my favorite from childhood 😃

I doubt theyll do that. Theyll be more focused on the fighting/competition part of the game, not the story. Theyll have their hands full balancing the game esp when the dlc fighters come. Not to mention new moves.

I want to know what they going to do with king

Reminder that the Alien race who created Ogre are probably still exist somewhere in outer space. We don't know if they are malice or not but if one Ogre is already terrifying enough, imagine how much of a horror those aliens would be if they decide to somehow invade Earth. But then again Humanity has been advanced so much in Tekken universe (Not to mention People like Reina, Yoshimitsu and Claudio are still around) that i could see them at least surviving an alien attack

who is john?

Any1 recommend a narrated tekken8 story review video looked all other. Im not seeing anything but 2hour long videos with all cutscenes. This creator showing us possibilities after the end. I still don't know the story of tekken8

I was looking forward for a bigger threat. Like the Hajicho clan being the actual devil gene custodians who are after the both companies and the world. Fighting another Mishima is beating a dead horse...

the side story gallery you unlock for Jun says the same thing about her survival, so I'm going with this being canon, because why give Jun not one but two video packages detailing her survival if you're not gonna make it canon?

Really hoping Yujiro Hanma becomes DLC

i would wanna see jin sitill hate kazuya but slowly start to moving to give his father a 2nd chance and being good like a shoto and endever from mha type of thing

Reina being a Kaz clone Heihachi experiment would be a better twist than just a female Lars. Also note : her devil is purple with bat like Wings

How about lars becoming the main hero like in t6 and reina the villain, both are the child of heihachi.

Asuka should have fought Jin instead of Xiaoyu tbh.

Except lars

I really hope Reina turns out to have a Finnish mother. She looks kinda nordic.

Tbh i would love both jin, kazuya and jun to be the main characters to be up against reina since she is part of the family tree it would make sense for them to confront a family member who is gonna be the next villian of there family

Whos to say Reinas not Kazumis child? You mean to tell me that Heihachi had a whole military conglomorate at his fingertips and didnt have DNA sample stashed somewhere of his wife? Eapecially after finding out avout the Devil Gene?

Kazuma and Jin definitely deserve a good ending, being a family, breaking the cycle of father and son killing each other, both just have lots of Ptsd because of Heihachi, but mommy Jun will fix them up in Tekken 9.

I think you didn't get certain parts . The devil gene was not pass on to Reina by birth or experiment.She got it from Kazuya as he used Azazel power. She wanted the devil power just like what the person said who wants it the most. Azazel choose her as a host seeing she has potential. Jin refuse his so he lost it for a while. Had she had the power before she would have put up stronger fight against Kazuya.

Why do you pronounce Jun's name like that?? 😂

btw something of note is Jin still has his Devil Gene mark on his arm even though he lost his powers so there's a chance his Devil powers gone but maybe the angel part isn't and is just dormant?

I wonder... With the insane popularity of Devil Jin, especially in tournaments, would they find a way for Jin to get back his Devil form? Or perhaps he'd achieve a New Devil form and Devil Jin will henceforth move forward as Angel Jin...?

Plot twist What if the developers come out saying reina’s last name is Kazama 🤣🤣

It would be interesting for Kazuya's "redemption" if he were the one to face off Devil Reina. This time however he's the human in that battle, similar to when Heihachi fought him. Kazuya realizing what it's like fighting the devil as a human

I wanna see Xiaoyu and Jin get married and have babies 😊. Also would love for Jin and his daddy to make up already and live happily ever after. Who would Reina’s mother be?

I think for jun backstory, leo's father, and nina new contract. The story is fixed just missing plot that must be explained.

Every franchise will end.. or reboot mk10 , 11 reboot and again reboot and reboot 😂 Im MK fan but......

I like the idea that reina is some kind of experiment of g corp rather she's hihachi's daughter and was a test subject for a devil gene transplant or a clone of him with the devil gene in her to make the strongest fighter.

Reina is...a basic "badgurl"...but I guess Namco can elevate her.

Kazuya can't catch a break. I swear all he does is get beat.

Jin and Kazuya vs Reina shouldn’t be the next story in my opinion. It should be asuka who rises up to the occasion and finally unlocks her kazama powers.

🪶

Considering that a majority of the problems in tekken are a result of heihachis inability to wear a condom. Her backstory is completely believable.

I’m sorry but as cool as reina is, her devil form looks goofy af 😂😂😂

Well, the next game will be out in 5 years... that would mean the game has been out for 30+ years and it's STILL a clusterfudge of a mess of a story as main characters killed off while being replaced by random new characters over the legacy characters.
