The History Of Kazuya - Tekken 8 Edition

[@Historybehindthewarrior]

Yoshimitsu Mishima might be the funniest unexpected meme to have come out from this video 😂 Thank you for the heads up guys 😂

[@josiplucic7077]

Fun fact: in Tekken 1 manual, it was stated that Kazuya's hobby is collecting sneakers. If you saw a Tekken 8 trailer with Kazuya in a room full of sneakers, that's 100% canon.

[@trey.b.17]

i tell everyone Kazuya Mishima is the first ever sneakerhead. real ones know 😂🔥

[@smok3ywuff784]

As a kid, I never understood why Kazuya's primary color was purple until I got older. Purple symbolizes royalty and luxury, it also symbolizes power and ambition which he desperately seeks in the lore.

[@HonestJohn_01.19]

@otdreamer193 As does his Devil forn likewise- mirror those qualities.

[@ShiningJudgment666]

It can also represent death and destruction.

[@ronaldwilliams9635]

Kazuya represents that purple well, does damage. Love the attire too. Very pimpish lol💯🔥

[@Ausplainer]

Purple is the colour of Emperors as per the Roman Empire, all the way to the Byzantine (Medieval Roman) period where "born in the purple" referred to Imperial blood, born in the palace

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

One of the few protagonists whose fall from grace happens before we even meet him. Literally. Also, I love that in their final battle, Kazuya and Heihachi have different meanings to the phrase "Pushed to their limits". Kazuya's definition is "Let the Devil Gene take over more and more, evolving into more powerful forms". Heihachi's is "More Heihachi".

It's interesting that Kazumi with the devil gene wants to eliminate Heihachi while Jun wants to cleanse Kazuya of the devil gene. Both woman has different goals but chose the same method to achieve it, to get pregnant.

[@Blackstonelegion]

Side note: I've seen no one talk about this. But Kazumi is absolutely drop dead Gorgeous. She is so elegant and beautiful even in her Devil Form😍

[@henryverniz7852]

@Blackstonelegion just my stupid opinion but Kazumi looks like a deranged Lili in her devil form.

Kazuya Mishima is my number favorite character in the franchise and one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Ever since I saw him kicking ass in the Tekken 4 intro, he became solidified as my favorite and have been maining him ever since

I just returned to this channel rn. I remember watching your history videos about Tekken back in 2019. I just got into Tekken back then and this channel helped me learn the story and lore of Tekken a lot since the game didnt show much.

If you see this, I recommend either Paul Phoenix or Marshall Law for the next video. Law because he's my main and some forget how he ended up how he is today, and Paul because he was Kazuya's original rival and has gone down a strange path.

[@dewforpolitics]

Kazuya Mishima is a well written character unlike his son Jin who loves his mom waaayyy too much, self loathes like a 1990s gothic teenager, and a mass murderer who started WW3 because he believed by causing more pain and suffering in the world he would awaken a great evil to selfishly get rid of his devil gene. That didn’t work. Oops! Kazuya is an honest villain and I love him! Here’s to the real King of Iron Fist, Kaazzuya Mishhhiiimmaa!!

[@spaceghost1670]

More, we need more Tekken characters

[@newhybrid101]

Heihachi wasnt truly abusive to Kazuya before Devil Kazumi.He didnt despise him at all,he even felt enough pity to not kill him outright even after he saw he survived the cliff and he no longer saw him as human. Heihachi himself said WE(him and Kazumi) were overjoyed with Kazuya. Heihachi only hated Kazuya after Tekken 2 where he saw he had become corrupt and the Devil was overtaking him like his mother,so it was time to remove him too. I doubt he wanted to kill him even in Tekken 1 cause he had the cliff as a stage,even though he knows Kazuya survived that as a 5 year old. And we actually know plenty about what happened between Kazumis death and Tekken 1 but it requires some digging in the manuals. The more time passed the more Heihachi viewed Kazuya as just the Devil and not his son. During the final clash in Tekken 7 as Kazuya sees Heihachi as his younger self we see that Kazuyas eye isnt glowing red anymore,it was purely the same emotions he felt as a child which is why he saw Heihachi like he was in the cliff opening in Tekken 7. It can be implied Heihachi found being ended by Kazuya as acceptable,but Kazuya,not the Devil. Which was why he was so enraged at seeing True Devil Kazuya

[@itzorin600]

Yeah but heihachi is it bastard when they retcon his whole thing and make me feel pity for him I'm like no no I don't feel pity for him he knows what he has done he did both his son and his grandson because he's a bastard

[@camm8642]

this is a retcon heihachi was never good.....he viewed kazuya as weak he didn't even know about the presence of devil until tekken 3 or even 4

[@Officer_Balls999]

Tekken 1 was more of a villain origin story and it was also stated that Kazuya is cold blooded from his Bio in T1.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Kazuya Mishima didn't become one of my main favorites until later on and now I love both Jin & Kazuya.

Best Mishima

[@necrozach]

We do know that Jun and Kazuya married. Confirmed by Harada. We also know that either angel or jun's influence effected his loss against heihachi

[@hectoraliegbe9429]

The idea that Jun and Kazuya are a married couple is false based on the fact she would have to take "Mishima" as her new family name and that when Jin is born, he would also have to take his father's family name instead of his mother's. This is clearly seen in the case of Kazumi as she had to take Mishima as her new family name when she married Heihachi, despite being a part of a pre-established clan of assassins known as the "Hachijo-ke" (Hachijo Family). Furthermore, it has been clarified by Harada himself on his Twitter account that the mysterious entity known as "Angel" is not a part of Kazuya's soul and is their own separate character.

[@StreetsofATL_19]

⁠@@hectoraliegbe9429It has been retconned! Just like Heihachi beating Kazuya in Tekken 4, just like Kazumi Hichijo having the devil gene, and Jinpachi Mishima at one point having the Devil Gene. Like Kazuya made a deal with Devil. Then Lars! Then Reina! Heihachi don’t want children because he is afraid of coup d'é·tat. Harada and his staff are terrible writers and retcon all of the time!

[@necrozach]

@hectoraliegbe9429 sorry dude but this was confirmed by harada himself not even that long ago on twitter. And its been stated several times that after they met eachother, kazuya felt off and thus lost the tournament.

[@hectoraliegbe9429]

@StreetsofATL_19 Harada has never said anything regarding Kazuya and Jun's "marriage" on his Twitter account. That interpretation of their relationship originated from an IGN interview that was held in the beginning of 2023. However, the translation by Michael Murray is suspect as it is in contradiction to Harada's earlier statements on his Twitter account, proclaiming that Kazuya never loved Jun.

I think Jun is still alive but probably disappeared or transformed into a bird she's always seen with a white bird.

LOL!!! The words say “History of Yoshimitsu”!

[@KCarver]

Your T2 take is a little off. The second tournament was announced as a result of Kazuya wishing to elimate an ever increasing tally of enemies he was making. There he met Jun (not before) and their relationship basically weakened Kazuya's resolve enough so that when he faced Heihachi, he was unfocused, distracted, divided and therefore lost to his father.

[@sandro2355]

Also, Kazuya and Lee weren't "raised in the same household". Heihachi didn't even know about Kazuya being alive untill the end of the first Tournament. In the fourth tounament Kazuya defeated Heihachi in the Arena. Heihachi's ending is non-canon.

Yaknow I really don't get how kazyua learned the mishima style, I get that he was taught at a young age and was a martial arts genius, but he got thrown off the cliff at like 8 years old or something, and if heihachi suspected kazyua of having the devil gene than idk why he would continue to train him?

In Kazuya's Tekken 5 profile, it is stated that the former lost against his father, which would make Heihachi the winner of the "Fourth King of the Iron Fist Tournament."

[@KCarver]

@hectoraliegbe9429 was referring to the fact that Heihachi didn't know Kazuya was alive, and raided two G-Corp sight simultaneously in search of their data and what he believed to be Kazuya's corpse. He didn't know Kazuya was alive until the raid happened. I stopped watching the video after that as the creator had already gotten earlier parts wrong as well.
