Hey guys, hope you all had a good Christmas! 🎅 So here it is, the final Tekken 1 ep and the final video of the year. Thanks to everybody who watches and supports the channel, it's much appreciated. 👊 Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and hopefully I'll see you in 2025 for Metal Gear 2, Tekken 2 and more! 🫡
Kazuya's story has never been told better; outstanding! Tragic that such a harsh childhood molded him into the monster he now is. Maybe with Jun's influence, he may actually have something of a redemption arc in the next game. 🙂
They both got along because they both had the same feelings in life, not just from the pain they dealt in their own personal lives but thinking they have to deal with life all alone until they found each other with the same fate and opposite powers they both held that Jun wanted Kazuya to have a better life to which they had for a moment until up to 8
@@puddin_hun1179 He put that blanket on her at the end after Jin beats him and she gets him. I think he's coming around a little...since that "gene" is gone to help further his "damage"...but he has done a LOT of bad starting from T2. lol
I hate to admit it but Kazuya is just about the main face of tekken. Even more than Jin and Heihachi. He has always been the major factor in the series.
Dude the ending with the Tekken 2 intro and the last frame: Kazuya standing by the window looking out with a translucent Angel hugging from behind as it fades to Heihachi finally climbing over the cliff in the rain gave me goosebumps. Absolute cinema!!
Remember when Kazuya debuted in Tekken 1 he initially looked like any other fighting game protagonist, a Japanese Karate guy wearing a white outfit. It was really in 2 where he broke the mold
I would say his first endung broke the mold.most protagonist were generic good guys only focusing om getting stronger and being a good sport. He throws heihachi off and gives a scary smile.that I'm sure threw people off hard
@@Brandonweifu Namco took quite bold and fresh story-line choices for their time with Tekken 1 and 2. Not only they dared to make a villainous character like Kazuya into the MC in a an age where Japanese fighting game protagonists were cocky high school delinquents at worst (like King of Fighter's Kyo Kusanagi), but also made that same villainous MC suffer a major defeat by the same (equally evil) nemesis that was supposed to be dead at the end of the first game. It's a shame how after Tekken 3 the writing of the series started to go downhill with an overload of generic and silly Anime Tropes.
This seriously needs to be a long running anime. I'm getting chills watching this. Kazuya Mishima is one of the most fascinating characters in gaming. For real!
Sir, you deserve a standing ovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Saving the best for last, we got a much deeper storyline of the Mishima family and thus, we complete the circle for the first Tekken tournament. I truly enjoyed these stories and can't wait for the rest of the saga and the long, hard work you have ahead.
Kazuya has been my main favourite, character since Tekken 4! He’s the best! And I got an interesting story of how Kazuya became my favourite character since Tekken 4 that I wouldn’t mind, telling y’all.😎
Jinpachi's a better father to Kazuya than Heihachi because even if he did knew about the Devil Gene inside Kazuya's blood, He still continued to treat him with love and care because he knew Heihachi would be at fault for the man his grandson came to be in the future.
Reminds most of us of Ben 10. Growing up, we always see Grandpa Max as a better father to Ben. Since he & Gwen were there, when Ben first had the Omnitrix, & help him to with his responsibilities. His actual father, who is Max’s son. He wasn’t much of a hero like his father & son. Meaning he wasn’t all badass as his old man, just to inspire Ben to do the same thing. Sure it’s true that he & Ben’s mother are only one time characters, who have no character or major role for every series. Especially in Omniverse, how Ben’s father never appeared in any episodes or being mentioned by their family. As if the writers killed him offscreen. Like he might’ve made an ultimate sacrifice to save his son’s life, between Ultimate Alien & Omniverse. Which would have been the most darkest moment in the franchise. Not only died as a father. But most importantly, a hero who inspires Ben to keep moving forward. Corse, like I said. Max has & will always be a better father to Ben, as he is to Gwen, since her father only appear once, which is the same with her brother.
@@Wing-Zero-si1eu Your not wrong about that Zero but the main difference between Ben and Qwen's parents and Heihachi is that Ben and Qwen's parents are not evil. I mean yes they did go overprotective mode once they found about their children's hero lives but, they did eventually understood the importance of their kid's heroics
@rezaulkarim3667 exactly. Sometimes, parents should always listen to their kids of what it is they’re doing not just for their family, but other families too. Just as long they don’t get in the way, otherwise, they’ll end up putting the whole world at stake. Which is exactly what Max would agree with, since he was the one who raised his grandkids to be what they are now. Same with Kevin & Rook, since those two always have Ben’s back, while helping him to save the universe from threats like Vilgax & Albedo.
This is the best Lore series ever.. I love Tekken, and to have the history of Tekken characters broken down like this.. Is FKN dope! Definitely looking forward to more, keep it up.
Finally, the Kazuya lore, one hour AND during the holidays? Truly a blessing. You have the AI generation set masterfully and weaved a coherent and well put together story we could only dream of. I love how Devil returns as a character, you seem to appreciate how having Devil be it's own agent with it's own machinations is far more interesting than the devil gene just being the angry gene. I also like how you made Kazuya not be a dick all the time and how he did show respect to Paul in the end, and how he refused to use use devil energy against Heihachi. My only complaint is you used the Tekken 1 ending, which is just so comical now and breaks the mood that you had setup, considering how well done you had utilized the imagery and voice lines I wanted more of that for recreating A Father's Fall Anyways, I am dying for Namco to just give you the money to put together the story.
Tekken 9 strongly hints Kazuya's redemption and as the sole focus character and even Harada-san mentioned Kazuya while Jin was fated to win this battle, he feels sad and sorry for Kazuya and understands him.
I knew you would be working so very hard on this one and it was well worth the wait! This series has articulately and perfectly captured what makes the lore of Tekken and it's characters so fascinating, and it all comes to a head here with Kazuya's story of revenge, loss, rage and despair. So well in fact that it's almost like Bandai Namco officially created this. I really enjoy all your work and I hope you are so pleased with the content that you continue to create!
Just out of curiosity, did anyone else notice the missing part where Kazuya was supposed to have a brief but quick fight where he performed a move on Jack and destroyed it?
@@DJTFILMZYeah I forgot to include that 😅that should place after King's fight with Jack, Kazuya was spectating the fights before he went on to fight King.
I look forward to see the lore of Jun, Jin, Asuka, Reina and Lars in future Tekken videos of yours. It’s almost ironic how both father and son (Kazuya & Jin) mirror each other in personality.
Bravo! 🏆Bravíssimo!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I loved the way you maked Kazuya Mishima's story during the first King of Iron Fist Tournament. It was lore accurate, the background, the details, the character and the Mishima family dinamics were spot on! 👌👌👌Really, it was the best video about Tekken ever.🤟 Spot on! 👍👍Thank you for the dedication and love for this classic franchise.
As someone who has been following this Tekken series (and also the MG one) since the first episodes, it has been great to see how much you have improved since then. This one was worth the wait and length as usual. Loved how you put together all current canon lore of the Mishimas to bring a very thorough and satisfying take of Kazuya's background story. Despite his character is already quite dark and villainous before and during the events of Tekken 1, I appreciate how you subtly show the humanity he still has left within him in his interactions with Lee and Paul. You can feel that, somehow, he holds some unspoken respect towards them. Eager to see a new lore series about Tekken 2 and other classic videogames of your choice. Happy Holidays and New Year!
I like the idea of his humanity slowly fading, two years on top, hes in charge of the zaibatsu, by the time Tekken 2 comes around, he's pretty deep in it by then.
I remember Kazuya Mishima saying when he defeated his father, Heihachi Mishima, in the final battle. "Everything you have, I will now take from you. Everything you thought you were, I have proven you are not." Yup, Kazuya's words were real cold-blooded as he threw his cruel dad off the cliff & become the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu.
@TheLoresmith Thanks. As Kazuya revelled in his rise to power as the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, no one will dare to challenge him again... until Tekken 2.
Epic Video! Kazuya has been My favourite Character since Tekken 4! This video has been well done! There’s lots of epic moments from this story episode for Kazuya Mishima, my 1 favourite character of the Tekken franchise.
Kazuya lore and his whole family have a great histories of Tekken then no others characters in Tekken lineup! Can't wait until you do Tekken 2 lore next!😊❤
Ive been a waiting a long time for this. You sur did not disappoint you made Kazuya story dark, you keep most of the original backstory while combining modern canon. I can't wait for Tekken 2 and really can't wait for you making kazuya even darker than the first. You should replace Harada you do a better job with the story than he does.
I love how you drew this out in all of its glory. Someone really needs to pay you to make this a new thing in the series. I can't wait for the videos on Tekken 2! 🥊
The anticipation for this chapter was worth it and an hour to boot! Each chapter has been a joy to watching. I'm so happy with how you intertwined the original Devil story, the Devil Gene and Kazumi saga. Definitely looking forward to the T2 chapters. If you started doing Mortal Kombat, I'd probably scream. Lol.
Now *THIS* the Tekken story I been waiting on.. .Seeing how Kazuya really became what he became is everything I ever wanted as a kid playing these games
Ah man dang Kazuya Mishima I can't believe that happened to you in your life. Know wonder Kazuya's life was so sour. Born with corrupt parents and experiencing bad events after another.
This was awesome! I always thought that Kazuya ended up training by himself somewhere else than the Mishima Estate until his return but you made me realize that I got that fact from the animated movie. He did in fact return, hence his rivalry with Lee!! Bravo 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Just like with Metal Gear, the Tekken videos have been truly amazing. I truly can't wait to see what is next. Please keep up the great work Loresmith. It is truly well done
Canonically, the plotline, in which Kazuya returned to Heihachi after surviving the fall, was retconned during Tekken 6. And, to be honest, I like the fact that Heihachi saw a living Kazuya only during the finals of the Tournament, a bit more. Remember that intro in Tekken 6. Heihachi's facial expression and his surprise. "To think, he's still alive". Actually, I'm developing my own take on Kazuya's childhood's story, which involves (surprise) Wang Jinrei.
I have been waiting and anticipating this video since i saw your tekken lore series. You absolutely delivered. The music choice and placement, the dialogue and characterization, the fluctuating art style. You absolutely knocked this out of the park. I genuinely feel like you care more and put more effort into the tekken lore than the creators themselves.
The final preparation part with the music....is sooo dark and intense,u can feel the feelings and the emotions,it's suits kazyua mindset and his determination
I was a hardup Kazuya fan ever since tekken drop out in my career and even today people like jin and other but my belief that Kazuya was the badass is still true and will remain unchanged 😊❤🎉
Such an emotional story that I had the chance to revisit thanks to this amazing video! Thank you so much you managed to released such good memories from my past! Kazuya will always be my main character
@49:35 Kazuya lowkey giving Paul his props and respecting him as an adversary is something i didn't expect to see. I like when i can see a side beyond "one dimensional villain", cause i think he's got way more complexity than that. Though, since Tekken 1 bamboozled an entire generation into assuming he's a Ryu clone, i could be overthinking it. Great moment, though. I can't wait to see how you tackle Tekken 2. That and 4 are my favorite stories in the series, so im looking forward to it.
@@jonathantyner171that’s Too Late for Kazuya and Paul to be best friends, because Kazuya doesn’t like Paul. Kazuya only sees Paul as any other opponent.
Funny, I was planning to watch Tekken: the Motion Picture tonight, before someone in my group chat sent me this video. And man, it really feels like watching said movie in its own unique way. Everything from the art and narration is so well-designed and immersive, like I'm watching old official anime. The way you fill in the narrative gaps left by the canon is seamless. The next time you feature Kazuya in your series, I want to hear more villainous "kisama" ("you") from him. Less "omae" and "anata"--well, except towards Jun and Jinpachi. I'm saying this because the word "kisama" is uttered by him in most of his in-game intros and outros throughout the franchise since T4, to the point it somewhat becomes his "voice" for the ears of even the non-Japanese speakers like me. By placing that one word in his dialogues, you'll be basically near-perfect in potraying Kazuya in your series. Still, we can't thank you enough for your effort in making this series as beautiful as it is. I wish you the best for the new year and onwards ❤
I'm a huge fan of Tekken and I've loved what you did with this as well as Metal Gear. This has been astounding and creative work figuring out how to fit all these different things together. I'm impressed with your skills at adaption and looking forward to what comes next.
thank you so much for this episode, you made my dream come true to have Kazuya's story with TEKKEN1 Amazing work, I hope we can get all the next episodes of the TEKKEN series Once again, thank you and good luck 😍😍😍😍😍
@Hilversumborn Very well true indeed. In comparison Kazuya do in fact share similar character traits as Vegeta. Both characters fight for dominance. Where as Ryu and Goku come into go, both fight for competition, training to work hard and seeking the next challenge greater than the other to grow strong.
Kazuya seems to have had it rough with an evil father like Heihachi and his own mother Kazumi who ordered Akuma to kill Kazuya if he became like Heihachi is just messed up. At least Jun Kazama actually cares about Kazuya and would not want him dead for any reason and would try to help him be redeemed.
Saving the best for last, this was such a great episode! I have enjoyed all the episodes you have made for the Tekken characters. Im looking forward to Tekken 2 lore series. Happy New Year to everyone.
Hey guys, hope you all had a good Christmas! 🎅

He's definitely the main face of TEKKEN. It's literally his story even in T3 where he was absent he still was a big deal.
If the writers were still worth their salt like they were back in the Tekken 1-4 days, we could’ve gotten a show of Kazuya’s story.

Actually, I'm developing my own take on Kazuya's childhood's story, which involves (surprise) Wang Jinrei.
One of the best tekken lore videos ive ever seen in life. top 2 for sure! Starting to really like your content.
Yesterday, I was just asking, "Dang, where's Loresmith's Kazuya story!?", and poof, here we are. 😅
You're quite lucky.
i loved every single minute way better watching this then a lot of movies and series out there, thanks for the work you have done a true master piece.
I have been waiting and anticipating this video since i saw your tekken lore series. You absolutely delivered. The music choice and placement, the dialogue and characterization, the fluctuating art style. You absolutely knocked this out of the park. I genuinely feel like you care more and put more effort into the tekken lore than the creators themselves.
We’re getting a late Christmas gift with this one 🗣️🎉
The final preparation part with the music....is sooo dark and intense,u can feel the feelings and the emotions,it's suits kazyua mindset and his determination
You are the truth for adding that fighting force hideout ost 🤝🏾
😂 lets go, awesome soundtrack.
@ so damn nostalgic 😭
@@TheLoresmith Tekken 2 Anime series 25th history
great story of Kazuya Mishima character, great work.
The vid that all of us have been waiting for... Merry Xmas my friends
great video! i appreciate the small nods to various items -- like "Kazuya's 'emotionless passion'" alluding to his Tekken 2 theme music.
how the fuck does this channel only have 36k followers!? seriously. good work!!! Love these so much
Wow I learned A LOT about Tekken. Thanks. :)
Now when people new ask about the lore im showing them your page no if ands or butts about it 💯💯💯.
Harada hire this man!!!!
Bro really put the effort on this one! I hope you also make tekken 2 lore video's in the future
I never thought i would like the announcers voice of tekken 1.
Kazuya.....Mishimaa vs. Hei..hachi...Mishimaa.Truly,nothing beats classics.
I was a hardup Kazuya fan ever since tekken drop out in my career and even today people like jin and other but my belief that Kazuya was the badass is still true and will remain unchanged 😊❤🎉
It’s insanely ridiculous how good this is! I thought this was official. It might as well be. I’ll subscribe to this
Here we GO!
The original face of the TEKKEN Franchise! KAZUYA MISHIMA!
Such an emotional story that I had the chance to revisit thanks to this amazing video! Thank you so much you managed to released such good memories from my past! Kazuya will always be my main character
Yes! This is awesome, I didn’t think you’d do the Mishima family because the games focus so much on them.
@49:35 Kazuya lowkey giving Paul his props and respecting him as an adversary is something i didn't expect to see. I like when i can see a side beyond "one dimensional villain", cause i think he's got way more complexity than that. Though, since Tekken 1 bamboozled an entire generation into assuming he's a Ryu clone, i could be overthinking it. Great moment, though. I can't wait to see how you tackle Tekken 2. That and 4 are my favorite stories in the series, so im looking forward to it.
Namco should’ve make them friends/buddies, they would make a great duo
@@jonathantyner171that’s Too Late for Kazuya and Paul to be best friends, because Kazuya doesn’t like Paul. Kazuya only sees Paul as any other opponent.
First Tekken is done, now it's time for Tekken 2
Jun Kazama should be the first Tekken 2 story then hopefully after her Heihachi Mishima, Kuma, Lee, etc
Dude, amazing nrration. I just got thrown back to Tekken 4 / Tekken 5 times. Merci. SUBBED
Can't wait for next year's Tekken 2! Love to see how Jun & Kazuya interact and find love in one another.
Funny, I was planning to watch Tekken: the Motion Picture tonight, before someone in my group chat sent me this video. And man, it really feels like watching said movie in its own unique way.
Everything from the art and narration is so well-designed and immersive, like I'm watching old official anime. The way you fill in the narrative gaps left by the canon is seamless.
The next time you feature Kazuya in your series, I want to hear more villainous "kisama" ("you") from him. Less "omae" and "anata"--well, except towards Jun and Jinpachi.
I'm saying this because the word "kisama" is uttered by him in most of his in-game intros and outros throughout the franchise since T4, to the point it somewhat becomes his "voice" for the ears of even the non-Japanese speakers like me. By placing that one word in his dialogues, you'll be basically near-perfect in potraying Kazuya in your series.
Still, we can't thank you enough for your effort in making this series as beautiful as it is. I wish you the best for the new year and onwards ❤
One hour of kazuya backstory? Holy cow
Could be cool if you could somehow mix all the episodes into one
The one I have been waiting for
I'm a huge fan of Tekken and I've loved what you did with this as well as Metal Gear. This has been astounding and creative work figuring out how to fit all these different things together. I'm impressed with your skills at adaption and looking forward to what comes next.
thank you so much for this episode, you made my dream come true to have Kazuya's story with TEKKEN1 Amazing work, I hope we can get all the next episodes of the TEKKEN series Once again, thank you and good luck 😍😍😍😍😍
The Vegeta of Fighting Games!🥋🥊🎮
So true.
Most fighting protagonists at the time were based on Goku, Tekken gave us a curveball by basing Kazuya of Vegeta
@Hilversumborn Very well true indeed.
In comparison Kazuya do in fact share similar character traits as Vegeta.
Both characters fight for dominance.
Where as Ryu and Goku come into go, both fight for competition, training to work hard and seeking the next challenge greater than the other to grow strong.
42:00 gave me chills… yea Kazuya always been the face of Tekken ⚡️
Extremely well done on my favorite Tekken character. Great channel. Thanks for putting the time in.
Fantastic!!! Kazuya my favorite character together with Anna ❤ great job 👏
Hearing the tekken 2 intro theme for the first time as a kid was so peak
Yes! Love your videos!
his is soooo cool
are you planing to make tekken 2-8 characters or na curious this awesome
Kazuya seems to have had it rough with an evil father like Heihachi and his own mother Kazumi who ordered Akuma to kill Kazuya if he became like Heihachi is just messed up. At least Jun Kazama actually cares about Kazuya and would not want him dead for any reason and would try to help him be redeemed.
Exaclty! Dorya.✊🏾⚡️⚡️⚡️
I've been waiting for this one 😍🔥💪
Saving the best for last, this was such a great episode! I have enjoyed all the episodes you have made for the Tekken characters. Im looking forward to Tekken 2 lore series. Happy New Year to everyone.
More stories of our Tekken characters
