![]() ![]() He learns from Leroy and Julia that they have both been personally wronged by Heihachi and that Heihachi is responsible for unleashing Ogre on the world in the first place.ĭespite Heihachi insisting that Jin must be ruthless in his fighting, after breaking Leroy’s leg in the first round, Jin determines not to follow this path of ruthlessness. Jin remains curious about his father’s fate, and during the course of the tournament, discovers that Heihachi killed his father. Jin is reunited with his friend and rival Hwoarang, and his school friend Xiaoyu, whist Paul Phoenix and Nina Williams warn him against asking too many questions about the Mishima. He teaches Jin never to turn his back on anyone, never to hesitate, and always to finish his opponent.Ī few years later, Heihachi calls an Iron Fist Tournament, intending to use Jin to lure out Ogre. He tells Jin he will break him down in order to build him back up. Heihachi then subjects Jin to a brutal training regimen that emphasizes power and anger. Jin is initially turned away from the Mishima Zaibatsu, and, even after meeting Heihachi, his grandfather has little interest in him until Jin mentions Ogre. Jin is left with no choice but to seek out his grandfather, whom his mother told him to go to should she not survive the fight. He and his mother are defeated, with Ogre and Jun seemingly disappearing following a gas explosion in the house. Unable to watch his mother being attacked any longer, Jin rushes out to help her. Jun tells Jin to stay inside as she fights Ogre. ![]() Later, a demon, Ogre, attacks the Kazamas. When the drunken father of one of the bullies arrives at the Kazama property to fight Jin, Jun disarms the man and shows Jin how to use restraint to resolve conflict. Jin is shown learning Kazama Ryu, with its emphasis on clear-minded focus and using an enemy’s weight against them, with self control being of utmost importance. She tells him he has lost this fight because he could not control himself. However, his mother, Jun, arrives and intervenes. After initially not fighting them, Jin becomes angered by a comment about his mother, and attacks the bullies, easily defeating them. It's so distracting, that I even zoned out in a couple fights (Jin v Hworang, Xiaoyu v Nina).The story begins on Yakushima, with Jin Kazama being attacked by bullies who tell him to stay in the forest and that he doesn’t belong in town. It's by far the biggest flaw, because I cannot stop looking at it. It's like someone forgot to add another layer during the animation process. The longer the series went on, the more noticeable it became. It's like they have a reverse outline, of light. Happens to their hands when they punch too. No matter the light source, day or night, inside or outside, standing or leaning, EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER (animals included) has this annoying triangle on their head. What drags this down to a 6 for me, instead of a 7+ is the fact that I can't stop looking at these goddamn triangles. Overall the series was pretty solid from the storytelling standpoint, and is very faithful to the Tekken lore. Interesting to see Leroy in his first appearance outside of his DLC character status. The series itself is a good expanded retelling of Tekken 3 with some characters from later Tekkens being added in (Feng, Marduk, Steve, and the only one with more than a cameo, Leroy). There are some questionable creative decisions, but I thought it was okay. Though with all the buzz around how Netflix treats its animation studio like crap, I doubt that will happen. I would like to see a sequel to this anime. Some other things that bother me was that Jin's English voice actor had some weak line readings, other Tekken 3 characters didn't show up like Jack, Bryan Fury, or Eddie Gordo, and no after credits where it could've shown Jin training in Australia in his Tekken 4 outfit. We remember what happened in a few episodes. This could really ruin the hype and pacing of the fight if you use flashbacks too much which they used quite a lot. Why didn't the music director use Tekken 3 OST let alone remix it. Unfortunately, this TEKKEN anime mainly revolved around the plot of TEKKEN 3 have forgettable tracks. Even if your fight is mediocre, at least have some bangers playing in the back. Why do most of Jin's fights just end with him doing d/3+4 (the double kicks)? It would be better if he did Electric Wind God Fist. The fights were alright and the way they end is pretty climatic. I have no idea why that thing is there and it's pretty distracting. After watching all six episodes, I can confidently say that it's definitely one of the better Tekken adaptations and better video game adaptations in general.
