History WMG / Tekken

[[WMG: Oni will appear in ''Tekken 7'' as a BonusBoss]]

* For what it's worth, Akuma himself is a BonusBoss in the arcade release of ''Fated Retribution''.

# ''Tekken 6'' states that the current Armor King is, in fact, the younger brother of the first, whom Marduk "killed." But if my theory on the [[BodyHorror mask-shedding]] is correct, then how were there two Armor Kings? Simple - ''[[CloningBlues The second Armor King is a clone,]] created by bacterium-style fission or grown in a test tube. This second Armor King would have inherited the techniques and memories of the first Armor King, who would have passed on the name of his killer before he died.

*** Jossed over it being Jinpachi... That's not Jinpachi. It's someone [[Videogame/StreetFighter COMPLETELY different...]]

* A new character in Tekken Revolution is ''this'' [[http://eng.tekkenpedia.com/wiki/Female_vampire vampire]][=/=][[HornyDevils succubus]]... [[BuffySpeak thing]]. It's still in development as of now, but based on the few confirmed details, it was "imprisoned in a wing of the Rochefort Estate, where Lili was raised." It probably doesn't have the Devil Gene, but likely has something similar... something that may have been passed onto Lili somehow...

** Or, alternatively, perhaps it WON'T be the final boss, but will be revealed by the FinalBoss to have been manipulating the events of the games, with their infecting Kazumi with the Devil Gene as the mere trigger of a much larger XanatosGambit they had cooked up. Such a revelation (presumably after defeating Devil Kazumi and/or Junknown) would put "the final conclusion among the Mishima's blood battle" WITHOUT being the final game of the Tekken series, as it would ensure the Mishimas (assuming there's [[ThereCanOnlyBeOne more than one left standing]] - [[KillEmAll or any, for that matter]]), [[EnemyMine would have a common enemy]]. And while it would be a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome to see [[BadassFamily the Mishimas fighting side-by-side]], it'd also be [[GodzillaThreshold a grim warning of how powerful]] it has to be [[TeethClenchedTeamwork to force Kazuya, Heihachi, Jin, Jinpachi, and/or Lars to fight with one or more of their relatives]] ([[BigScrewedUpFamily especially since they basically spent every moment of their lives trying to kill each other for the last couple of years or decades straight]]).

This would explain why she's so...worried sometimes. Harada described her as "[[CryCute a bit of a crybaby]]", and this could be why. And hey, sometimes people with anxiety issues can have a bit of an energetic front to themselves, so this would make sense.

Dragunov has a voice actor, despite his complete lack of dialog. The only sound he makes is when he gets hit- but instead of merely grunting, he makes noises like he's vomiting up pudding. It's very likely that Sergei merely has a nasal HollywoodNerd voice which he hides to keep up his creepy image.

Hence why he's not in Tekken 1, 2 or 4. If we buy into the notion that Jinpachi's vengeful demon, Ogre and Azazel are related somehow, then it's that common presence they all share that activates Mokujin. Devil Genes clearly do nothing, Kazuya and Jin were both kicking around prominently in Tekken 4, and Mokujin wasn't anywhere. Hell, Kazuya's Devil power was at the max in Tekken 2, and that still did nothing.

** But, [[SquishyWizard Lelouch]] and [[LightningBruiser Jin]] [[CompletelyMissingThePoint are different persons]], though.

As for the present events, that's still anybody's guess. Presumably, both Kazumi and Jun/Unknown will come BackFromTheDead (and 9 out of 10 odds that they'll SERIOUSLY [[CameBackWrong Come Back Wrong]], especially if Kazumi has the Devil Gene and Jun has Unknown), and whoever was responsible for the Devil Gene (assuming it somehow isn't Kazumi) will end up being the BiggerBad, and TrueFinalBoss. As for "the final conclusion among the Mishima's blood battle" - [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism knowing this series]], [[BittersweetEnding this probably will]] [[DownerEnding NOT end well]].
* Well, unless Harada feels like adding another BiggerBad to the mix, ''6'' already established that Azazel's the reason the Mishima bloodline carries the Devil Gene (hence why Jin starts what is essentially World War III to draw Azazel out, though you have to play through Scenario Campaign with other characters, namely Devil Jin, to get the full story), so while I can't say with 100% certainty that Devil Kazumi will be the FinalBoss or anything of that nature, I also can't foresee anything out of the blue for the game's final battle. All the same, if this theory does turn out to be the case (and it's definitely plausible given the trailer's chronology), Kazumi's fear of Heihachi discovering Kazuya's Devil powers will then have set up a tragic SelfFulfillingProphecy, as Kazumi stated quite clearly that her powers may very well consume her and lead to her death and Heihachi has seen her Devil form. It'd be a shame, especially considering that "I love Heihachi. And he loves me" line Kazumi recites at the end of the full trailer.
** I only said that a BiggerBad would have to be the main villain because Kazumi didn't have a personality anywhere ''close'' to being a BigBad herself, and the fact she's still struggling with her Devil Gene powers indicates they were also forced unto her sometime before. I also don't think Jun/Unknown could be a BigBad herself, since while she may be just as powerful as Devil Kazumi, there's still too much VAGUENESS surrounding her character to come to snap-judgements about her final alignment. Therefore, let's assume that Devil Kazumi and Unknown will be shown as a BigBadEnsemble, but that a BiggerBad [[TheChessmaster will have been manipulating them along with the Mishima family since before the start of the series]]. It'd also fit in with the Tekken 6 story, in that Jin and Kazuya were both played up as two different {{BigBad}}s - but then [[CrystalDragonJesus Azazel]] [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere came out of nowhere]] to serve as the BiggerBad. In fact, I would honestly wager that Azazel could be a good candidate for being the Bigger Bad - after all, if Jin was supposedly right, the only way to outright kill Azazel would've [[TakingYouWithMe been to fight until he was dead too]]. Since he's still alive at the end (and it's still ambiguous if it even went so far as to [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim remove the Devil Gene from Jin either]]), there's still some wiggle-room that Azazel is NotQuiteDead, and would take advantage of the climax to make another attempt to destroy the world.

*** Partly-confirmed, Partly-{{Jossed}}: [[spoiler: The backstory does confirm beyond a doubt that Kazumi tried to kill Heihachi, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero and her attempt to kill Heihachi drove him mad enough to toss Kazuya over a cliff]]. However, there is no BiggerBad, and the story mode alternates between Kazuya and Heihachi taking the role of VillainProtagonist. The ending is a DownerEnding, with Kazuya finally killing Heihachi, although TheStinger implies Jin is ready to fight back against Kazuya in the next game]].]]

Ala [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Nightmare Geese]]. Because come on, you seriously think a little thing like [[spoiler:death]] would cause Namco to retire one of their most iconic characters?

[[WMG:Heihachi will return in ''Tekken 8''... [[spoiler:as a ghost.]]

Ok, so the videos have been leaked and thousands of fans are triumphantly proclaiming IKnewIt. [[Tropers/{{X2X}} I'm]] not surprised either, given the circumstances, but I'm going to have to ask you all to hold your horses anyway. Compare [[spoiler:Unknown in ''Tag'' to [[FanNickname Junknown]] in ''Tag 2''.]] If you look at the former, it's very clear that the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen intention of]] [[spoiler:Unknown being Jun's sister]] was the angle the dev team was going with before ''Tag'' became a non-canonical spin-off. [[spoiler:There are several discrepancies between the two, such as Unknown being two inches shorter than Jun, having tanner skin, a slightly different hairstyle (even before she was possessed by the wolf demon, [[http://eng.tekkenpedia.com/wiki/images/3/38/Art21.jpg as indicated by artwork]]), and dressing in dark clothes (as opposed to Jun's preference for [[WomanInWhite white]]). Unknown's MamaBear [[BigDamnHeroes moment]] in Ogre's ending can still work if it's an aunt protecting her nephew, considering that we know little about Jin's childhood besides him living with Jun; it could even simply be Jun's sister spurned on by an urge to avenge Jun's possible death at Ogre's hands.]] Now, look at the latter. Throughout ''Tag 2''[='s=] promotion, [[spoiler:Jun has been hyped in the exact same way Kazuya was back in the original ''Tag''. If I'm not mistaken, more focus has been placed on Jun's return than the appearance of Young Heihachi or characters like Jinpachi and True Ogre coming back. It was fan intervention that helped bring back Kazuya in ''4'' after ''Tag'', and since Jun has this ''massive'' EnsembleDarkhorse thing going for her, it's possible that the same kind of publicity could work in Jun's favor. Thus, we have Junknown (who, unlike her original incarnation, looks ''exactly'' like Jun)]]. Keep in mind that [[spoiler:Jun's [[WordOfGod official status]] in the series is simply [[HesJustHiding "missing"]], as opposed to the KilledOffForReal King I and Armor King I. Instead of trying of work in a plot point for a character who technically doesn't exist, Harada probably just went with the flow and confirmed what was most likely the most prolific {{Epileptic Tree|s}} in series history. After all, the man's been ''bombarded'' with messages asking for Jun to return to the series and Harada ''easily'' received the six thousand tweets for Jun's return here. Perhaps this was done in order to justify and lay down the groundwork for Jun should she come back for real in the next installment.]]
