This actually feels more like a father/son cycle of revenge within the Mishima household (starting with Jinpachi being deposed by Heihachi), with both the Hachijou and the Kazama matrilineal bloodlines creating complications for this cycle of revenge.

Love Brian as an actor and he did an excellent job with his pronunciation despite him (as far as I know) not being a gamer. Just goes to show he put the effort in, which is nice.

[@Guras_bumhole]

If your not a gamer shut your mouth and move on

[@MrXMysteriousX]

@@Guras_bumhole what's with the comment?

[@Yarott75]

I don't think gaming has anything to do with proper Japanese Pronunciations, but OK.

[@MrXMysteriousX]

@@Yarott75 the point I was making was that the only way he'd get that pronunciation correct is if he was either a gamer who'd organically come across it or he had gone to the extra effort to ensure it was precise, not that you'd need to be a gamer to pronounce them. Since he likely isn't a gamer it meant he hadn't come across them before. It would mean then that he put in deliberate extra effort to learn it- that was the point I was stressing. Also it's rather common for some movie actors to just pronounce it any old way, so it was nice to see the effort put in.

[@roktoprobal9505]

This narration was much needed.

[@HamzaDaoui]

I liked this a lot for some reason. Brian Cox is a great storyteller.

[@conmane3341]

Tone for this clip is very much like an actual historical documentary

[@jbaldsing]

The idea of getting Brian Cox to do this is the funniest and coolest thing ever

[@ronniejay350]

Damn him talking about the story was oddly epic calming and funny 😂😂😂

[@kousetsuhana]

I've never played this game series but I was enthralled in the narration and watched the whole thing. we love Brian Cox!

[@ssjdre]

Can we hire Brian Cox to summarize all of our video games stories...PLEASE!!! 👏👏👏

[@LothiasTV]

I didn't know I needed this in my life but OH MAN. Brian Cox did this amazingly and this made me too hyped for T8!

[@linux750]

I've been seeing (and enjoying) historical recap videos about this series since November of 2023 and now the creators of these games decided they wanted to get in on the action. This is wild. Apparently I'm living in a good timeline. 😊👍

[@walkingjed]

Simply brilliant! They should recap like this every season haha

[@obnobb]

I could not have thought of a better person to do this honestly… he did a great job

[@YoubTijani]

This is the first time I get excited for a Tekken game since Tekken 3. Thanks, Brian Cox.

" Heihachi did what any loving father would do? Threw Kazuya off this cliff to see if he would survive. " The Best On site Narrating right there, I say. Someone be preparing a Brian Cox playable Mod Character in the near future.

[@FiceGamingTVStream]

This was actually really well done and as an avid gamer since late 1980's i didnt know the tekken story this well so im glad they explained it from the original psx all the way to now. Much respect!

I’ll give it to Namco, this is the single classiest video game ad ever made

Brian Cox is such a cool actor. Lot of people dont know hes the OG Hannibal Lector. Loved him as Striker in Xmen also.

That Anthony Hopkins who's the OG Hannibal.

Also he'd voiced the Helghast Dictator too

[@bananamutnuffin1667]

Bro... king is the best fighting game character of all time!! I'm super hyped to see him in the story but!!! Wouldn't it be crazy if he was on Kazuyas side? Lmao. Anyways. I really hope Kazuya comes out on top or atleast is "saved" I want to see him win.

[@Eijiken]

Skipped over that entire detail where Jin kinda tried to genocide most of humanity But Brian Cox rules

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

Technically he just gave an order, it's the Zaibatsu soldiers who killed all those people. Even Lars probably was present for the first few days of that

[@ΑναργυροςΚοκορης]

Technically jin has never actually killed anyone except the ogre (and maybe heihachis soldiers but he was the devil at that time) so jin still has a pure soul (kinda)

[@KalvinEllis]

Let's be fair, that's a detail we all wish to forget. Though as we know, it's not ignored in the actual story mode. That's the very first thing Kazuya(of all people) throws in Jin's face when they first meet.
