Tekken

Tekken

Tekken (Japanese: ??, "Iron Fist") is a fighting video game franchise created, developed, and published by Namco (later Bandai Namco Entertainment). Beginning with the original Tekken released in December 1994, the series has received several sequels as well as updates and spin-off titles. Tekken was one of the first fighting games at the time to use 3D animation. The series has been adapted into three films and other media. There are seven main installments to the series, one installment having an updated version that also made a home release, two non-canonical installments, and a seventh mainline game released on Japanese arcades on 2015 and PC and console on June 2, 2017. The premise of each game in the main series documents the events of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, hosted by the Mishima Zaibatsu. The prize is typically control of the company, which allows the winner to host the following tournament. After beating the game with each character, an ending cutscene is unlocked and usually one of the endings from each game becomes the continuation of the story into the following installment. The story has largely revolved around the Mishima clan curse, which began narratively with Heihachi Mishima throwing his son Kazuya Mishima from a cliff when he was five years old. Kazuya was nearly killed from the fall, but through the influence of the "Devil Gene" he survived and swore revenge to his father by the time of the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 are considered breakthrough titles and among the greatest games of all time, the latter also being the second best-selling fighting game to date. The series is the best selling fighting game franchise in history.

Jun Kazama:
I don't understand it. Why would someone as powerful as you throw your own son into the canyon? And why are you now flooding the world with weapons and planning its destruction? Why is the world your enemy and not your own hatred?

Heihachi Mishima:
Hm. Then tell me what you consider justice.

Jun Kazama:
Justice?

Heihachi Mishima:
Rationale is a better word. Is the truth your rationale for living life like you do?

Jun Kazama:
What do you mean?

Heihachi Mishima:
Just this: words like "justice" and "truth" are empty concepts that have led societies through cancerous histories. Through the ages, those who have blindly believed in these absolute truths have fought and died over empty platitudes. Today, you'll find people mistaking their own greed for truth, and eating the planet out from under them and condemning themselves to total annihilation, chanting their democracy and their freedom as though they were a religion. They're cheerfully justifying their journey towards self-destruction.

Jun Kazama:
But how does any of that justify the way you've lived your life?

Heihachi Mishima:
Don't you get it? The only way to truly salvage this disgusting world is to DESTROY everything on it so a new world can be rebuilt!

Jun Kazama:
You monster! You threw your son into the canyon specifically to place that dark hatred in his heart! You've groomed the perfect successor for your plans of carnage and genocide!

Heihachi Mishima:
My Tekken will create the destruction of the Devil and the renewal of the Gods!

Jun Kazama:
No one has that kind of right! What would you have done if he'd been killed?

Heihachi Mishima:
My son is too strong. And if he had been defeated, I was prepared to give my own life.
