It’s kinda wild how getting disowned by Heihachi set him on a better path in life and lead him to becoming one of the few genuinely good people in the world of Tekken. Time and space really does heal wounds, and Lee had the chance to heal and mature over the course of the large time skip between T2 and T4. It’s inspiring, really, how Lee realized that seeking revenge would only feed into the cycle of violence and cause more pain, so he instead focused on making the life of other people better through his silly robots.
Lee is also one of my favorite characters in Tekken. His elegance, his flamboyant personality, his at times goofy antics, as well as his design and fighting style, all captured my attention since I was a kid. I can't wait to start playing as him, along with my other favorite characters, once Tekken 8 comes out
Interesting thing about Tekken, Kazuya has main shonen hero protagonist look with a few scars only for him to be the devil himself. Where as characters like Lee who looks like the sauve pretty boy and you would expect to be spoiled narcissist villain, he's actually quite a goof ball and very altruistic and one of the good guys. Tekken's story sometimes subverts expectations.
It's funny cuz how you described them is actually how the Tekken anime movie portrayed them completely to the letter. It was the games that took lees character in a better direction
I mean the first game established Kazuya wasn't a good person, and the Lee you're describing came about in tekken 5, sort of 4, with him being exactly what you expect before that.
I also do wish there would be more to him than just money. I still enjoy him as a character to watch and play as. And it is fascinating that Lee is acquainted with Paul and Law.
The ignored stepchild is actually the one who contributed to the improvement of technology and society the most. If an Alien invasion actually happen in Tekken universe considering the existence of Ogre. He would probably be the most crucial and Important "Mishima" due to his inventions
I feel Lee after hiding himself as Violet embraced that persona so well that he "became" Violet with everything he does. As for Paul and Law becoming his friends, I forgot which Tekken game it was, but I think it was T5. Paul was in Lee's training room since it was training us the player to fight Combot, Lee was mad at Paul destroying most of his machines and had to take him outside the lab.
I like Lee's character and how it's progressed throughout the story. I actually do like his new outfit for the reason it exists, and it's great to see his other outfits still exist in tandem.
Lee will always be my go to in this franchise. Ever since I was introduced to him in Tekken 4. I started off with Tekken 3 back in the day (the only game Lee missed out on) and I had no knowledge at the time that the Silver Haired Demon got his start in the first Tekken. So that was a surprise to discover after I played Tekken 4 and looked more into Tekken Tag, Tekken 2, and Tekken 1 at the time.
From “Excellent” to “Marvelous!” Also, I honestly like Lee’s Tekken 8 design, looks Battle ready and all. By the way, I do have a fond of battle suits and body armor.
@@batman500below2 Same. I also kinda like the battle suit. But the goggles sorta throw me off. It's more or less the color of it tbh. If it was like a type of blue or maybe black, it would look much better.
This is a great video, thank you! Lee is such a solid character. Lee and Kazuya’s fight is definitely canon in Tekken 1 but according to the lore, Paul and Kazuya would’ve fought in the semi-finals (after Paul beat Kuma) so Lee wouldn’t have come second.
I'm sorry but Lars is not interesting. I'm not even trolling he was the start of rubbish characters in tekken. I really feel this way. Tekken 1/2/3 everybody no matter how eccentric were valuable. Tekken 5 ughhh..
I think he will fight Kazuya but lose and then Jin will save the day. For all we know combot could be reactivated and take on the violet persona and try to help stop Kazuya in a way. It should be intresting to see where the lore goes from here after this storyline is over.
I hope that he and his brother, Kazuya, does actually get a one on one confrontation with each other, or during the group fight of Kazuya vs. everyone we saw in the trailers, we see him and Kazuya have a dialogue with each other where Lee attempts to reason with his brother to stop all this unnecessary chaos, pointing out how this kind of thing is what their father wanted to happen, and he was being worse then their shared rat bastard father that caused so much harm to them both, but to Kazuya most of all. Basically, I don’t want him to have any person ill feelings towards his brother that he once had, but at the same time is willing to do what he must to stop his brother from committing this unnecessary chaos to enslave the world, something he knows Kazuya doesn’t need and what Heihachi would’ve wanted which infuriates Lee to a degree as Kazuya is essentially becoming what Heihachi wanted out of his son, but ten times worse and as he proved there’s no reason to carry on the desires of their evil father.
Lee was always in background really but ive always liked him. Hes always looked cool toobut god this new look is awful. Reason for it is alirght, but that doesn't mean it has to look like trash. I guess it balances yoshi finally having a good skin this time
@@onyxwolfreaper21 well, Lee cleary was well informed on who Lars is when they first met, and Lars doesn't really have a reason to keep this discovered detail from lee.

You know what they say, get rid of the toxicity and you’ll start to thrive
Lee was the only one to look at the Mishima feud and think "There's no point in this."
@@Roderickthegray true! reminds me of when I left for studies at a foreign university and I came back a totally different person
@@karumina Wicked🤙🏿, I finally left my parents’ house and things have been completely different
@@karumina How was the university and what did you study if you don’t mind me asking

Lee low key has the best redemption arc.
The sanest Mishima. Excellent!
The legend has come once more
He's adopted.
And that's why he's sane.
There's also Lars, but is a hard headed man
Technically Lee and Lars are long lost brothers
Sort of.
See guys? Marshall Law does contribute to the main story!
I also do wish there would be more to him than just money. I still enjoy him as a character to watch and play as. And it is fascinating that Lee is acquainted with Paul and Law.
😂
And it super disappointing that Law's entire lore is nothing but being unsuccessful and broke man
@@droppedcroissant4291😂

No It was Tekken tag tournament 2
I like Lee's character and how it's progressed throughout the story. I actually do like his new outfit for the reason it exists, and it's great to see his other outfits still exist in tandem.
when you think about Lee is the most innocent of that mess up family
even Jin did some pretty mess up stuff

MARVELOUS!! 🌹
Love how if Lee wins the 8th Tournament, the first thing he tries to do is secure world peace
Brilliant
I still remember the first time I fought Lee on tekken 2. The space station and the music blew my mind as a litte kid
From “Excellent” to “Marvelous!” Also, I honestly like Lee’s Tekken 8 design, looks Battle ready and all. By the way, I do have a fond of battle suits and body armor.
The suit's nice. Not a fan of the goggles though. But I get it. Lee's not one to hide his face, So a helmet wouldnt make much sense.
@@batman500below2 Same. I also kinda like the battle suit. But the goggles sorta throw me off. It's more or less the color of it tbh. If it was like a type of blue or maybe black, it would look much better.
@@batman500below2we can break the rules and give him a helmet anyways, just like in previous games that had customization 😃
@@gabrieltejada1697 I know. I'm just talking about the story and the character's attitude, being the reason it's not default.
I love these videos thank you for the video keep up the great work
Awesome video! Thank you! Lee is my dude!
This video was EXCELLENT 😏😎
Do Marshall Law video next, also great video as always HBTW, Lee is definitely one of the best characters in the Tekken series 👍.
Thought he was just Kazuyas Flamboyant brother that was also evil glad I was wrong
And the funny thing is they call Lee the silver demon, but he's not evil, and leans more on the good guys side.
@@bruvathroatpuncher500 he was initially.
You were partially wrong.
@@bruvathroatpuncher500kind of reminds me of the gintama plot
My favorite character
This is a great video, thank you! Lee is such a solid character. Lee and Kazuya’s fight is definitely canon in Tekken 1 but according to the lore, Paul and Kazuya would’ve fought in the semi-finals (after Paul beat Kuma) so Lee wouldn’t have come second.
History of Lars next please!
I'm sorry but Lars is not interesting. I'm not even trolling he was the start of rubbish characters in tekken. I really feel this way. Tekken 1/2/3 everybody no matter how eccentric were valuable. Tekken 5 ughhh..
I can't wait. He is my favorite character to play.
Lee has a great backstory. Give him more to do in the main story, bamco lol
Excellent
Marvelous 🎉
I would like to see more taken videos from you when taken 8 comes out 😊😊
The most excellent fighter is here!
I think he will fight Kazuya but lose and then Jin will save the day. For all we know combot could be reactivated and take on the violet persona and try to help stop Kazuya in a way. It should be intresting to see where the lore goes from here after this storyline is over.
Alot of his grenades and explosives in Tekken 8 have the same face as Combot
Let's gooooooo!!
One of my favorite characters in Tekken right next to Paul Phoenix I do like Lee
Mr. Eleganto
Lee has one of the best grunts!
I hope that he and his brother, Kazuya, does actually get a one on one confrontation with each other, or during the group fight of Kazuya vs. everyone we saw in the trailers, we see him and Kazuya have a dialogue with each other where Lee attempts to reason with his brother to stop all this unnecessary chaos, pointing out how this kind of thing is what their father wanted to happen, and he was being worse then their shared rat bastard father that caused so much harm to them both, but to Kazuya most of all.

"EXCELLENT !!!"
"MARVELOUS !!!"
My favorite Tekken male character. Lee is so badass!
I Like The Violet Persona.
Yeah The trailer is more better than the steamboat Micky trailer
I expect a reboot after Tekken 8
Lee was always in background really but ive always liked him. Hes always looked cool toobut god this new look is awful.
Reason for it is alirght, but that doesn't mean it has to look like trash. I guess it balances yoshi finally having a good skin this time
He looks like Trunks from DBZ
Can we do Lars next
I would like to see Nina next
I wonder when is Lee is gonna realize that he and Lars are technically brothers-? Adoptive brothers ofc-
I'm pretty sure he already knows.
@@fightingmedialounge519 Really? Cuz from what I see it hasn't been mentioned anywhere- unless it's offscreen
@@onyxwolfreaper21 well, Lee cleary was well informed on who Lars is when they first met, and Lars doesn't really have a reason to keep this discovered detail from lee.
Ask I said to so many people Lee knows Mishima style karate because heich trained him and Paul and Law is his master also to.
Violet or lee adopted brother in the anime did not give justice
It's crazy that he is the only member of the Mishima clan to make it to every game, yet he is so unimportant to the main story.
He wasn´t in Tekken 3.
@@teteiyus5762 shit you're right. My bad
@@productplacementadz24-73 he also gains importance in 6.
Whatever happened to Lei
I like Lee because he has a big paynus….
I think lee is gonna die this game
