Yeah an adventure game where you travel with some of your clan members with different abilities uncovering and destroying the evil essence from the world
Let me tell you what Yoshimitsu is - he was a flesh and blood ninja until he lost his arm and met Dr Bosconovitch. The doctor became his friend and cybernetically replaced his arm in Tekken 2. Now, Dr. B then became a member of the Manji Clan, upgrading their tech and enhancing Yoshimitsu's body with robotics. As the Tekken games progressed, Yoshimitsu became more and more cybernetic as he needs the upgrades to fight his nemesis Bryan Fury.He is NOT an alien, hes a CYBORG. The sword he carries is magical in nature, passed on through the leaders of the clan since the first Yoshimitsu founded the clan in Soul Calibur 1.
bro, i just want to say that frank jaeger.. cyborg ninja... shares the same story... as well as Raiden.. damn these cyborg samurais ninjas are so badass
1). T1 & T2 Catch Copy: Space Ninja T1 Bio: A ninja from space, also head of the world theft ring, the 'Manji Group.' T3 Bio: Yoshimitsu is the leader of the Manji Clan, a notorious gang of Robin Hood-like space thieves. 2). "Yoshimitsu" is both the title/name of the Leader/Ruler of the Manji Clan AND the name of the cursed "alien" sword that is passed down to ALL Yoshimitsus (which has the ability to capture and/or steal the soul of the person it killed and give abilities of that slain person to the Yoshimitsu who wields it (just like the Misurmami Blade from Japanese folk lore). 3). The Yoshimitsu that we see in Soul Calibur IS NOT the same Yoshimitsu that we know from any of the Tekkens, that is the Tekken's Yoshimitsus predecessor. 3). As far as we know the Yoshimitsu that we've seen in ALL the Tekkens is the same, seeing as he has a personal vendetta for the "cyborg" Bryan. WHO! May actually be one of their Ronin (Rogue) Manji members that betrayed them and ORIGINALLY had them stranded on Earth. Hence why our Yoshimitsu keeps upgrading himself via Dr. B in attempt to keep up with Bryan constantly advancing himself. But seriously, "alien" thing is mentioned in his bio OR rather him and his clan being from outer space. But that could've solely been the FIRST Yoshimitsu who was an alien and passing down the mantle and cursed blade to a deserving "human" that continued the legacy, we dont 100% know.
I honestly think each Yoshimitsu is a different person. Being that Yoshimitsu is a title, the actual person who takes the title probably changes with time and they keep all the same characteristics.
The Yoshimitsu in the tekken games is the same one throughout. But the Yoshimitsus in Soul Caliber are different. Don't know when they change but I think there were 3 different Yoshimitsu.
His character is actually inspired by two Japanese folk legends Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Minamoto no Yorimitsu who were both legendary swordsmen and is why his name is Yoshimitsu. He’s also probably my favorite Tekken/Soul Caliber character.
FINALLY! A Video about talking Yoshimitsu and his origins. For a character that's been around so long, there hasn't been too much discussion on him. AFTER ALL HE IS IN TWO DIFFERENT FIGHTING GAME FRANCHISES! Yoshimitsu needs a game of his own or something to dig deeper into his character. Thanks AwpWilliams! p.s. SUBSCRIBE - "click"
honestly this is the coolest story i've heard about a video character, i can't imagine any sane person (it's all about preference my ass) who would dislike this. The amount of time and effort put into this is just astounding. No really i am subbing to this channel.
@bryan diaz varela no ye didnt jus find a way 2 fight club style yoshi lmao laugh of the day 4 me...although i keep hearing ppl say ninja....when obviously he looks more like a samurai....which in all matter of his history technically hes a ronin
Wow the story telling in soul caliber is so much better than in Tekken. I love how you explained his hand was cut off by a lord. I misremembered and thought his hand was destroyed by a cursed sword
The Yoshimitsu is a blade that surpasses even the Soul Blades through time and space. If it wasn't, then Devil Jin would be swinging the Soul Edge around.
God I loved fighting Yoshi in the older Soul Calibur games, his A.I would always find some way to make him Sword Helicopter himself out of the ring. When I'd fight him in arcade mode, I wouldn't even attack him just because of that.
Nice job on the movie, I enjoyed it :) P.S. On his bandages at the end of the movie, there's written "shiki soku ze kuu" (色即是空). It's a part of Heart Sutra and it means literally "Form is itself emptiness". A very popular sutra, and a very deep one.
He has been confirmed by Harada to be human. Finally after so long. I also had a feeling he was human. He reminds me if Decker from power rangers samurai. Yoshimitsu according to Harada is human with battle suits. Everything on top of Yoshimitsu is non human but everything inside him is xD He's human no doubt, makes sense. :)
I always had a feeling looking at the soul calibur version of yoshimitsu, that he is an alien who lives by the rules of samurai, as a hermit guardian of a Japanese village, shrouded in mystery. He always shows strict traditional, play by the rule attitude.
Had no idea Yoshimitsu was in the first 2 Soul Calibur games. Remember I played Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur 1 at an internet café long ago. To think that fact went right over my head while I was playing.
"Although details of the character's biographies have varied in different games and other media, each Yoshimitsu is consistently portrayed as the leader of the honorable Manji Clan, a practitioner of ninjutsu, and a master swordsman with a mechanical prosthetic arm. The characters have been well received by both fans of the series and critics alike" He's everything xD
Man I gotta say this was a great way to tell the story of yoshimitsu the first, you make it alot more bad ass than in the games abbreviation of everything. Gonna go watch part two :D
Dude, I learned a lot here. Excellent research. It's like the evil of the blade/energy is akin to the warp concept of 40k and thus explains his dimorphism, corrupting, moulding the body of the wielder.
+Rick Guy isn't that the first soul calibur? on ps1? hah i knew it, and the best part of all this..... it's the only soul calibur game i played, sorry tekken comes first
Funny dude im only 19 and i know and grew up on soul blade and games like that i could probably name some old games i grew up on and you probably dont know
SC2’s Nightmare design is def the best of all versions to date...that was my best character, in 3 I had so much trouble using since the moves I knew how to use were divided between him and Siegfried
Nice of you to post fan material like this that explores the characters. It's infact stuff that this that make me a fan tekken and before I even could do my first 10 string.
Nice work on the Soul Calibur end of things! Yoshimitsu has always been a favorite of mine in the Tekken/SC series, even if he hasn't always been my main. A few things to consider for Part II, perhaps. In the comments below, some folks are mentioning the booklets for earlier Tekken games that refer to Yoshimitsu as the "Mechanized Space Ninja." This is indeed accurate, and along with Yoshimitsu's truly bizarre transformation from Tekken 2 to Tekken 3, it's probably one of the biggest contributors to the "Yoshimitsu is an alien" theory. A key question, of course, is what "space" is actually referring to. The original description, "karakuri uchuu ninja," translates to "mechanized space ninja," but I'm not sure if the word "uchuu" refers just to outer space or the cosmos. There are some discussions out there that state "uchuu" refers to a void, or emptiness, though I don't know how credible those are. It's basically a question of whether "uchuu" can mean more than one kind of space -- something to look into, to be sure. Anyone have a good Japanese dictionary...? This, I think, is somewhat difficult to reconcile, but very important anyway! Yoshimitsu definitely looked VERY human in Tekken 2 -- behind the mask we can see clear outlines of human ears, hair, and lips. Maybe there are a few possibilities here, then. Tekken 1 and 2 Yoshimitsu could be an alien, disguised as a human. It's also possible that "uchuu" does indeed refer to a void or emptiness, rather than cosmos, implying Tekken Yoshimitsu could be a human... A third possibility, though: how do we know that the Tekken Yoshimitsus are all one person? In the 19 years between Tekken 2 and Tekken 3, perhaps another successor came along, and even another after that. We also have to consider another bit of conflicting evidence -- according to the Tekken Wiki, in the Tekken 6 artbook under Yoshimitsu's history, it states: "Fans often say he looks inhuman, but the character setting is that there actually is a human in the armor." Add it all up, and you have an issue almost as confusing as Poison's gender...
Obsidian451 Thanks for your interest in my video. You know quite a bit. I'm actually working on part 2 of this as I type to you. This whole time I've been doing my research and believe I've come up with the best theory to explain EVERYTHING. I'm trying to get it out tuesday night. Everyone enjoyed my editing on this one so I'm doing my best to do even better for the next.
@@Obsidian451 according to the wiki currently, it has been confirmed that yoshimitsu is human by the creator, i also couldn't find any mention of the word space in his bio's on there. i believe i only have T4-TTT1 on the ps2, the T5 for the psp and i got T7 yesterday, i could dig the old ones up to see if i could find a booklet or bio in game but i played those games when i was 4 so i don't remember anything but gameplay, and i didn't know english well until i started playing online games when i was 10.
Of all Tekken characters...hell, I dare say of all characters when compared to a multitude of long-running fighting games, none does get this drastically changed as Yoshimitsu. He literally started out as a ninja dude in a mask, and now he's a ninja dude in a octopussy bio-armor in Tekken 7. And all previous forms were balls to the wall drastic. So he's ninja, cyborg, demon, beetle, octopussy robin hood and one of his swords houses the soul of the original Yoshimitsu from Soul Calibur.
No.. you misunderstand. Yoshimitsu's arm is a robot created by dr.bosconovitch.. I think he did create a machine version of Yoshimitsu that was a beetle or a robot suit for him I can't remember. But everything else says he's a human.
since the tekken and soul calibur universes are said to be connected this would be false since it doesnt explain the older yoshimitsu not to mention the name is passed down to a new clan head and is why in SCV he calls himself Yoshimistu the second. If anything i think he's some form of demon. I mean he's even a puppet at one point this man is anything but human to me( going off his appearances)
1:45 solid mlp reference, subscription earned, plus I love lore and your vid was the second in the suggested vids under the history of Yoshimitsu from Tekken 1-7 and TTT 1 and 2
Soul Calibur, Tekken and Street Fighter are now confirmed in the same universe. I'm not even mad that's amazing. Gotta love the jokes, though. *SUBSCRIBES*
This just clicked in for me. What if the devil gene is in fact a remnant of soul edge? I havent ayed tekken six but from my understanding azazel is the source of the devil gene? The egyptian theme for him and the crystals (refering to soul calibur) are all very coincidental
"[...] gets his right hand cut off, he manages to escape [...] and replaces his hand with a prosthetic one." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sekiro everyone? -------------------------------------------------------------
He's without a doubt a cyborg inhabited by a yōkai / oni spirit from Japanese folklore, hence the different looking katana swords (which is later on paired with an ō-wakizashi sword, making him a user of daishō), his classic menpō / hannya masks and lastly, different kabuto style helmets. At some point, his costume was even inspired by the gods Fuujin and Raijin. But right now, his look is clearly inspired by the legendary creature, Akkorokamui - the "Japanese Kraken". Oh well 🤓

Tekken is an earlier game series (real world) then SC, but both Namco. And yes Yoshi is a Tekken character. He made a cameo in the Soulcaliber series and was very well received. Since then they have kept him as a full fledged series stapel, and "syncronized" the folklore of both games so that yes, Yoshimitsu and the manji clan are official canon of both games now.
I DID IT!
1 MILLION VIEWS!
Seeing that you had about 700 subscribers when you uploaded this video , and now the views are more than a million is SO hartwarming
YAAAYY!!!🤩
Letsss gooo
I just found your channel but this is a well done video on a topic not done by many. You deserve it!
Namu Namu
He’s a good guy, that’s all that matters
Exactly
When I played tekken 6
He was a Skeleton of Queen’s guard
But now he is a Hentai protagonist
I think Yoshimitsu deserves his own videogame.
Yeah an adventure game where you travel with some of your clan members with different abilities uncovering and destroying the evil essence from the world

Like a beat em up?
He had one n the ps2 Xbox GameCube era

RoboCop + universal soldier + kabukiman
How do you know that?
I honestly think each Yoshimitsu is a different person. Being that Yoshimitsu is a title, the actual person who takes the title probably changes with time and they keep all the same characteristics.
Right now, the Yoshimitsu in Tekken saga is 40Th leader of the Manji Clan, the 40th one to inherit the name of Yoshimitsu
The Yoshimitsu in the tekken games is the same one throughout. But the Yoshimitsus in Soul Caliber are different. Don't know when they change but I think there were 3 different Yoshimitsu.
Or a fighting style?

Yoshimitsu is a sword.
TheJurnalyst his name is yoshimitsu and his sword has the same name
Sohail B Sooooooo my comment still stands.
TheJurnalyst yep
Yoshimitsu is also a title.
Actully Yoshimitsu in japanese legends is the spirit of the sword
"No Eye. No Ear. No Nose. No Hand. No Body No Mind. No Shape. NO SHAPE."
I don't get it.
Pretty much the lyrics of Yoshimitsu's stage in TTT1.
Royal Knight my fav song from ttt : )
Couldn't ever tell if those were ACTUALLY the lyrics or if my childhood brain was mishearing things. Good times :')

but the real question is...
what the fuck is voldo in soul calibur

JustAnd13 Hey, thanks man, I appreciate it!
5:41-6:12 Whoa, that's cool how you tied that altogether 😧
Thanks.
@@AwpWilliams Not a problem 😄 Thank you for the content. 👍🏿
AWESOME Can't wait for the 2nd one! Sweet job!
AnotherBot:D yay!
Me too.
I dunno who you are, haven't even watched the vid but u got urself one like just for that title, sir
I'd totally want a Ninja Gaiden-esque RPG slasher about Yoshimitsu. The ultimate ninja cyborg alien.
not even one minute into the video and I laughed at the hentai joke, I like you man I'm subscribing bruh
Yoshi's 10 hit combos are the first I learned. King's 10 slam combos were fun too
He’s literally a ninja with a love of really elaborate costumes
“I’m that Ninja, rubbing off the paint smoking dank, got a uzi in my lap I let bang.” -Yoshimitsu
Well ur right he's no alien but only a strange human warrior
*NAMU NAMU NAMU NAMU*
(Yoshi is always giving himself missions, he needs to rest for just awhile.)
Just turned into Skeletor towards the end there
Yoshimitsu in Tekken 3 has a lightsaber for a samurai.😂😂
Yoshimitsu is a robot created by doctor bosconovitch. Its says so right on tekkenipedia.
LIL DOOP wtf😅😂
LIL DOOP
All official source refer to him as human.
No.. you misunderstand. Yoshimitsu's arm is a robot created by dr.bosconovitch.. I think he did create a machine version of Yoshimitsu that was a beetle or a robot suit for him I can't remember. But everything else says he's a human.
Dude using a Wikipedia 😆
since the tekken and soul calibur universes are said to be connected this would be false since it doesnt explain the older yoshimitsu not to mention the name is passed down to a new clan head and is why in SCV he calls himself Yoshimistu the second. If anything i think he's some form of demon. I mean he's even a puppet at one point this man is anything but human to me( going off his appearances)
Didnt expect this to be funny as hell and well written, you got a sub from me sir
it literally says robot space ninja in tekken 1 or 2 booklet......
He will always be a robot space ninja to me
Yes, but ninjas are masters of disguise and are known to lie about their identity.
Yes
The Soul Calibur Yoshimitsu is a different character though, according to lore anyway
Lol!!! That hidden in the leaves joke did it for me!! You have earned a sub my man!!!
welcome back to the stage of history....
Excellent reading, love your delivery 👌👌
Yoshi in Tekken is just a guy with a Mechanical Arm. Yoshi in Soul Caliber is just a ancestor.
hes been a beetle and now hes a squid
Kai Hero No in tekken he's not a robot wtf??
This is one of the best videos on this website lmfao idk why
From 700 to 8k good job man, that hentai reference killed me 😂😂
1:45 solid mlp reference, subscription earned, plus I love lore and your vid was the second in the suggested vids under the history of Yoshimitsu from Tekken 1-7 and TTT 1 and 2
8:37 - If you didn't make a female version of Voldo in underwear, are you really playing Soul Calibur?
Nice video. And now you have almost 10k subscribers. Glad I found this channel!
Soul Calibur, Tekken and Street Fighter are now confirmed in the same universe. I'm not even mad that's amazing.
Gotta love the jokes, though. *SUBSCRIBES*
Eiji Toh lol I'm pissed about street fighter
This just clicked in for me. What if the devil gene is in fact a remnant of soul edge? I havent ayed tekken six but from my understanding azazel is the source of the devil gene? The egyptian theme for him and the crystals (refering to soul calibur) are all very coincidental
mortal kombat one of us
genius, finally someone makes a vid about this and he hes onl 16k subs you will surely grow my friend

Great video dude. I like the little clips from diffrent animes they add some comedic scenes :D
why i didn't heard of you before ? subbed, mate
Same
He's without a doubt a cyborg inhabited by a yōkai / oni spirit from Japanese folklore, hence the different looking katana swords (which is later on paired with an ō-wakizashi sword, making him a user of daishō), his classic menpō / hannya masks and lastly, different kabuto style helmets. At some point, his costume was even inspired by the gods Fuujin and Raijin. But right now, his look is clearly inspired by the legendary creature, Akkorokamui - the "Japanese Kraken". Oh well 🤓
Today I learned that naruto stole literally everything.
Yeah about 90% of Naruto is stealing from Japanese history/folklore/media. Grossly overrated series
@@DUKEHadToDoItToEm what? How does Naruto steal if it's a Japanese Anime u moron. It's an Anime about ninjas ofcourse it's based on the historical ninjas of Japan
@@jay-sanlimbu5530 Not sure if troll or triggered weeb
Either way your argument backfired and I almost pissed my pants with laughter when I read your squishy water brain reply
Bailey Xavier you must be trolling lol
@@aang4540 Yes and no
Yes because Naruto fans are squishy brain autists easy to troll
No because I legitimately feel like Naruto is an overrated show that has little to no originality to it.
awesome video dawg love the way you put random references like naruto and hearthstone in the video real funny and informative
Wait..So is Yoshimitsu an original Soul Calibre character or original Tekken character what???????
Makes sense.
Tekken is an earlier game series (real world) then SC, but both Namco. And yes Yoshi is a Tekken character.
He made a cameo in the Soulcaliber series and was very well received. Since then they have kept him as a full fledged series stapel, and "syncronized" the folklore of both games so that yes, Yoshimitsu and the manji clan are official canon of both games now.
MisterMcEpicPants Hug different universes
I’m impressed. Nice work with this research.
Thank you ❤️
