00:00 Every single fight, no matter how big or small, has a story behind it.
00:07 That's why when it comes to Tekken and the King of Iron Fist Tournament,
00:17 there's one hell of a story to tell.
00:26 In Tekken 8, Jin Kazama will face off against his father, Kazuya Mishima, for the last time.
00:32 Kazuya is threatening global domination, and since Jin is the only other person who possesses the Devil Gene as well,
00:40 he may be the only chance the world has left.
00:45 But how did we even get to this point?
00:50 What the hell is a Devil Gene, and why do these fathers and sons keep throwing each other off cliffs?
00:57 Well, it revolves around these three men.
01:03 Heihachi Mishima, his son Kazuya Mishima, and his son, Jin Kazama.
01:11 When Kazuya was just five years old, he was a little boy.
01:17 When Kazuya was just five years old, his father, Heihachi, feared the boy possessed the Devil Gene,
01:24 which is passed down through generations to the bearer's children.
01:29 It allows the host to transform into a winged demon that possesses incredible strength and power.
01:37 So, Heihachi did what any loving father would do.
01:43 He threw Kazuya off this cliff to see if he would survive.
01:49 And survive he did.
01:54 Kazuya would spend the next 21 years training to become a deadly fighter.
02:00 The hatred he harbored for his father fueling his motivations.
02:05 Ultimately, Kazuya would defeat Heihachi and become the first king of Iron First Tournament champion.
02:12 And then, in a moment of poetic justice, would throw his father off a cliff.
02:19 Years later, we find Kazuya has turned even more sinister than his father was.
02:26 But it brings us to the one woman who saw the potential good in Kazuya.
02:32 Animal rights activist, Jin Kazama.
02:37 Together, they would have a child. The third piece of this patricidal puzzle.
02:43 Jin Kazama.
02:45 Jin grew up without knowing his father.
02:49 And after tragedy suddenly befell his mother, Jin sought out his grandfather.
02:54 And would be trained in the Mishima fighting ways by none other than Heihachi Mishima.
03:02 Ever the opportunist, and knowing Jin possessed the devil gene, Heihachi would use Jin until ultimately betraying his grandson.
03:11 Shooting him at point blank range in the face.
03:15 However, death was not for Jin.
03:18 And what would kill any other man would trigger what had laid dormant in Jin until that moment.
03:25 And Devil Jin was born.
03:31 Since then, these three men have waged war against each other time and time again.
03:37 This is until the most recent tournament, where Kazuya faced off against his father, Heihachi, for the final time.
03:51 By taking his life and throwing the body into a volcano.
03:57 Like only a Mishima can.
04:00 Which brings us to now.
04:07 Kazuya's complete global control is almost at hand.
04:12 And his power is seemingly unchecked.
04:15 However, now fully healed from his own battles, Jin has resurfaced.
04:22 And is focused on stopping his father to become not just the newest champion of the King of Iron Fist tournament, but possibly the savior of all mankind too.
04:34 In Tekken 8.
04:48 Fist meets fate.
04:55 Tekken 8. Fist meets fate.
