Hello everyone!
Welcome back to another History Of Episode on Tekken 8!
Seeing as you really enjoyed that Yoshimitsu episode, It only felt right that today we could recap one of the most iconic characters within franchise, and someone who could be seen as the original protagonist before his fall from grace, Kazuya Mishima!
Now the tale of Kazuya mishima Is a very unique one, as once he had a very promising future as a hero to usurp his father, yet In Its aftermath he winded up being something so so much worse, but how did this all come to be? How did Kazuya turn out the way he is?
Well we must actually dial the clock really far back to that of his childhood, to truly get an understanding of his upbringing, as his family life not only impacts Kazuya as a character, but the overall narrative as whole!
Please do enjoy!

One of the few protagonists whose fall from grace happens before we even meet him. Literally. Also, I love that in their final battle, Kazuya and Heihachi have different meanings to the phrase "Pushed to their limits". Kazuya's definition is "Let the Devil Gene take over more and more, evolving into more powerful forms". Heihachi's is "More Heihachi".

We do know that Jun and Kazuya married. Confirmed by Harada. We also know that either angel or jun's influence effected his loss against heihachi

@hectoraliegbe9429 5 ай бұрын

The idea that Jun and Kazuya are a married couple is false based on the fact she would have to take "Mishima" as her new family name and that when Jin is born, he would also have to take his father's family name instead of his mother's. This is clearly seen in the case of Kazumi as she had to take Mishima as her new family name when she married Heihachi, despite being a part of a pre-established clan of assassins known as the "Hachijo-ke" (Hachijo Family). Furthermore, it has been clarified by Harada himself on his Twitter account that the mysterious entity known as "Angel" is not a part of Kazuya's soul and is their own separate character.

@StreetsofATL_19 5 ай бұрын

@hectoraliegbe9429 sorry dude but this was confirmed by harada himself not even that long ago on twitter. And its been stated several times that after they met eachother, kazuya felt off and thus lost the tournament.

@hectoraliegbe9429 5 ай бұрын

@StreetsofATL_19 Harada has never said anything regarding Kazuya and Jun's "marriage" on his Twitter account. That interpretation of their relationship originated from an IGN interview that was held in the beginning of 2023. However, the translation by Michael Murray is suspect as it is in contradiction to Harada's earlier statements on his Twitter account, proclaiming that Kazuya never loved Jun.

That didn’t work. Oops! Kazuya is an honest villain and I love him! Here’s to the real King of Iron Fist, Kaazzuya Mishhhiiimmaa!!

Your T2 take is a little off. The second tournament was announced as a result of Kazuya wishing to elimate an ever increasing tally of enemies he was making. There he met Jun (not before) and their relationship basically weakened Kazuya's resolve enough so that when he faced Heihachi, he was unfocused, distracted, divided and therefore lost to his father.

@sandro2355 5 ай бұрын

Also, Kazuya and Lee weren't "raised in the same household". Heihachi didn't even know about Kazuya being alive untill the end of the first Tournament. In the fourth tounament Kazuya defeated Heihachi in the Arena. Heihachi's ending is non-canon.

Heihachi wasnt truly abusive to Kazuya before Devil Kazumi.He didnt despise him at all,he even felt enough pity to not kill him outright even after he saw he survived the cliff and he no longer saw him as human. Heihachi himself said WE(him and Kazumi) were overjoyed with Kazuya. Heihachi only hated Kazuya after Tekken 2 where he saw he had become corrupt and the Devil was overtaking him like his mother,so it was time to remove him too. I doubt he wanted to kill him even in Tekken 1 cause he had the cliff as a stage,even though he knows Kazuya survived that as a 5 year old. And we actually know plenty about what happened between Kazumis death and Tekken 1 but it requires some digging in the manuals. The more time passed the more Heihachi viewed Kazuya as just the Devil and not his son. During the final clash in Tekken 7 as Kazuya sees Heihachi as his younger self we see that Kazuyas eye isnt glowing red anymore,it was purely the same emotions he felt as a child which is why he saw Heihachi like he was in the cliff opening in Tekken 7. It can be implied Heihachi found being ended by Kazuya as acceptable,but Kazuya,not the Devil. Which was why he was so enraged at seeing True Devil Kazuya

The way the story plays out in Tekken 4. Kazuya has to beat Heihachi to advance to Honmaru! There Jin and Kazuya fights and that is when Jin’s ending takes place. The game is (originally) designed to follow the main character out of the original selected players in Tekken 4 when you win with Kazuya, you get the bad ending then you unlock Jin (who is the true main character of Tekken 4). When you play with Jin you get the true ending. Before you people start talking about the story says Heihachi wins, I understand Harada wrote it that way in Tekken 5, but it was retcon to fit the Tekken 5 story! If Kazuya wins beats Heihachi then Kazuya got the Mishima Zaibatsu back. That is why Lee and everyone else thought that Kazuya won! Only Jin, Wang and Kazuya knew that it was Jinpachi Mishima, who was the sponsor of KOIFT 5! Once Kazuya found out he left the tournament and went straight to GCorp!
