Tekken is basically someone trying to stop a greater evil but became one themselves: Kazumi tried to kill Heihachi because he'll be a ruthless dictator in the future - which made him snap that he became what he is. Heihachi tried to kill Kazuya because he potentially has the Devil Gene like his mother - which only aggravated Kazuya to turn more evil to fight him. Kazuya tried to kill Heihachi for what Heihachi did to his mother - only for him to be the Devil like her later on. Jin tried to kill Kazuya to get rid of the Devil Gene - only for him to wage war against all nations that ruined many lives.

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Oh yes indeed.😔

[@carloscristero]

Heihachi was always a Mafia/Yakazuya type leader. So he was never good. He went from bad, to worse. Jinpachi was possessed by evil spirit even before the whole Kazumi thing. The only good part of the family comes from the kazma part. The Mishima fighting style is basically karate made for killing. Sure he was getting a little softer before the death of his wife, but ending the zaibatsu (Mafia Organisation) was never on the agenda. Is why his wife ultimately decided to end him, as he would have ended up a dictator anyway.

[@silenthero2795]

​@@carloscristero Jinpachi was alive and well during Kazuya's early childhood (T5 Kazuya ending) meaning he was imprisoned by Heihachi AFTER Kazumi tried to kill Heihachi when Kazuya was a year old.

An episode of Ranma used this as a joke pointing at how ridiculous it is. A priest possessed of an ogre tied up Ranma, and threw him into a deep pond to prove if he wasn't possessed of an ogre.

I'm actually amazed how few people even consider that Heihachi is lying here. Other than one saying it was a blatant retcon. I mean, it is, but it makes more sense for the Heihachi we've known in every game before 7 to leave a sappy, tragic story before he dies. I might be giving the story too much credit, but if he is lying, I like the idea that he convinces the world that he was the hero when he was the most inexcusable villain, even placed next to the goodamn devil.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

Heihachi was trying to paint himself as a hero before he dies in his Final Showdown against his son, Kazuya. He believes that if he revealed the secrets of the tragedy of the Mishima to the world, he would probably convince the world to decide whether or not they wanted to exterminate the Devil Gene by executing witch hunts against Jin and Kazuya.

[@Felix-ic1fc]

Heihachi thought that killing his family members with the devil gene could have saved the world but in reality i think he's the one who made Kazuya evil, if he showed the same love that Jun has done with Jin,maybe the Mishima family would be more different than now.

[@SonySlasher2468]

Um you do realise that Jin started World War 3? Sure he did it to summon Azazel, kill him and then get rid of the Devil Gene or at least kill himself. But not only did Jin survive this, his Devil Gene still remains and Azazel still survived in spirit forcing Zafina to seal him inside her. Not to mention all the irreversible damage he did and all innocent lives he took were all for nothing. In other words despite Jun's teachings Jin still committed evil for intentions which weren't even worth it in the end.

However keep in mind that Heihachi was already traumatised from killing Kazumi and hesitated to kill Kazuya and only did it after little Kazuya wanted revenge for his mother. He couldn't trust anyone after this let alone another family member with the same Devil Gene that forced him to kill Kazumi and Kazuya (even though I think that was uncalled for).

@@Juanhernandez-zx7kt when he killed Jin and Kazuya, they were quick deaths. But with Jimpachi, he felt the need to give him a slow and painful death. Why ? Well, Jimpachi did say, before his imprisionment, that he needed to finish his bloodline. So, I'm guessing he did try to kill Heihachi, and, as revenge, he not only imprisioned Jimpachi and made him suffer, but stole everything that belonged to his father.

Kazumi is indirectly the main villian for the Tekken franchise. Heihachi is the victim. Heihachi is not a bad guy because of his actions he did because he was traumatized because of Kazumi

[@JabamiLain]

You know, this origin for Heihachi works better than most people realize it. Do you remember back in "Tekken 1" ? He said he wanted his son to be strong in order to be worthy of heiring his empire. And when Kazuya proved to be strong and worthy, what, Heihachi all out of the sudden decided in "Tekken 2" "Nope ! I don't want a heir. This is my empire.". Also, regarding his father's death, when he killed Jin and Kazuya, it was quick, but for some reason, he felt the need to make his father's slow and painful. Well, Jimpachi, before his imprisionment, did say he had to kill his own bloodline. If my father had tried to do that, I would have definitely made my father suffer before dying. Do you see where I'm headed with this ?

[@000mjd]

This fill a few gasp in his relationship with Jin and Lars too because Heihachi treated Jin like a true son (not Mishima's style) and not recieved the Kazuya's treatment until his battle with Ogre when probably was already aware of the devil gene in him in fact Jin Saw him like a father until that and with Lars its implied he was conceived a few time after his battle with Kazuya/Devil in Tekken 2 to make sure the Devil gene wasnt from him

Even if it's true but the question is how did kazumi end up with the devil gene in the first place.

[@SonySlasher2468]

Obviously it all started with Azazel. He basically created the Hachijo clan by sleeping with a human woman who then gave birth to the first devil/human hybrid child and that child would become the first and founding member of Hachijo clan. Then his descendents would move to Kyoto and have more offsprings. I do not know why Hachijo clan would become assassins focused on ending anyone who would pose a threat to the world. But I have a feeling that Zafina's ancestors had something to do with that. They did seal away Azazel after all and he claimed that the humans burned the world to ashes before he was sealed and again after he was freed.

Kazumi's betrayal sets him down the path of seizing power and the Zaibatsu (invests in weapon development, etc.) from his father (this absolutely happened after Kazumi's attempt on his life), his abuse of Kazuya, who at this point he just sees as another potential monster who will be beset on killing him, and committing fully to a "might makes right" disposition. Tekken 1 and 2 he's facing the consequences of his actions when Kazuya throws him out and TRIPLES down on the violations and criminal activities of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Heihachi's almost just trying to clean up his mess, and chooses a particularly fiery way to do it. once Kazuya's out of the way he's back to ruling the Zaibatsu, committing odd acts of charity (raising Jin and basically sponsoring Xaioyu), establishing the Tekken Force and eventually investigating ways to use the devil gene from Jin and Ogre's monster blood to make immortal super soldiers (the Failed Devil-Human Integration Program), but as a revived Kazuya and Jin rise in power and escalate their conflict, Heihachi is basically left to recovery or cleanup duty from tekken 5 onwards, with his progeny going way further than he ever would have committed to. they even have his non-canon endings where he (and Kuma) attempt to eject Jin and Kazuya into space where they joke about finally disposing of them. it's complicated. he's not a good guy, and leans into shit that exasperates his worst traits and is obviously the cause of a majority of the conflict in the series but he's arguably not the worst of the bunch - for example, he wants to rule the world with the Zaibatsu, but still wants people in it to rule - Kazuya straight up tried to Freiza death-ball the planet in T8. Reina's a new point though. Since she's been confirmed as one of Heihachi's bastard children I'm going to hazard a guess that the Devil-Human Integration Program was restarted and she's the only successful subject from it, because good lord how do you explain *that* coming out of nowhere

This is just my opinion, it's true that heihachi did logically wrong what he did to Kazuya. But try to imagine if we ourselves were in the same position as Heihachi in this video, at first Heihachi was just an ordinary man but after Kazumi tried to kill him, whether Kazumi was possessed and controlled by the Devil,We have to wait for Tekken 9 or 10 for certainty and validity. Heihachi was in reality a victim and developed a paranoid illness after the incident and eventually Kazuya. The culprit in this problem is none other than the Hachijo family. For sure, anyone is affected by the Devil, if he/she is not mentally strong and lacks mental defense, it is certain that a person's mind is damaged and easily influenced by the Devil.

[@08bachvanhai10]

There are two things I wonder about in Heihachi's story about why he made the entire Mishima family cursed: First, the real reason why the entire Mishima family was assassinated by a long-standing assassin organization with demon blood, Kazumi, if based solely on prophecy, why did Jinpachi curse?He ran a famous and powerful corporation in his home country and around the world. This man once made mistakes,those things also seem to be known to the world and what he has contributed over the years to world peace certainly makes the Mishima family even more famous and respected.In the end, all he received in return was the betrayal of his unfilial son and the curse of becoming a devil by that family, Assassins, in the name of destroying threats to protect world peace, cursed a family devoted to world peace to turn into demons. Was the Hajochi family intentionally set up?Or are they just making one mistake after another? Second, is what Heihachi said ultimately mostly true? Up to now, the worst father in Tekken still makes people doubt his motives and defenses for his mistakes.Heihachi's relationship with his father is also a problem, the shock of being betrayed by Kazumi has corrupted him, but even so I don't think it's to the point of treating his good father badly. This may have been due to his controlling personality and selfish greed, which may have led to conflict between Heihachi and Jinpachi, this personality of his has not yet been revealed because he had a happy life with Kazumi for a short period of time, it was only after that fateful night that Heihachi revealed all his evil natures, two of which were cunning, trickery, and manipulation, all of which were passed on to Kazuya. Even the story he tells is for planning purposes from the media to create a positive image of the Mishima family while projecting a one-sided evil image on G Corporation
