Trivia / Tekken: Bloodline

• The Other Darrin:
  • The Japanese version:
    • Taiten Kusunoki succeeded the late Unshō Ishizuka as Heihachi.
    • Hōchū Ōtsuka takes over from Kanehira Yamamoto as Paul.
  • The English version:
    • Kaiji Tang succeeds both Patrick Seitz and Brad Swaile as Jin, who dubbed him in Tekken: Blood Vengeance and Street Fighter X Tekken respectively.
    • S. Hiroshi Watanabe replaces Jamieson Price as Heihachi.
    • Jeannie Tirado takes over from Stephanie Sheh as Julia.
    • Erika Harlacher takes over from Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Nina.
    • Faye Mata replaces Carrie Keranen (Blood Vengeance) and Carrie Savage (SFxT) as Xiaoyu.
    • Todd Haberkorn takes over from Chris Rackabaugh as Hwoarang.
    • Krizz Kaliko fills in for Dave Fennoy as Leroy.
    • Earl Baylon replaces Paul St. Peter as Ganryu.
• Production Foreshadowing: Following the trailer shown at the Game Awards, many Tekken fans have taken this show as a reminder of Jun Kazama's role in the series before she was revealed to be returning to the canon storyline in Tekken 8.
• Role Reprise: The Japanese cast meanwhile has most of the characters' original voice actors return (Heihachi notwithstanding, of course):
  • Isshin Chiba as Jin.
  • Mamiko Noto as Jun.
  • Masanori Shinohara as Kazuya.
  • Maaya Sakamoto as Xiaoyu.
  • Seiko Yoshida as Julia (who she previously voiced in SFxT)
  • Hidenari Ugaki as Ganryu.
  • Perhaps most notably, Toshiyuki Morikawa and Yumi Touma return to voice Hwoarang and Nina respectively, neither having voiced those characters since Tekken 4 and Tekken Tag Tournament respectively.
  • The English version meanwhile has Jamieson Price return as Paul, having voiced the character since Tekken 6 and is the only voice actor from the English side to actually reprise a role he did prior.
• Translation Correction: A rather curious one done in the Latin American Spanish dub: While other versions, English one included, refers to Hwoarang's mentor with the Japanese term "sensei", the dub uses the Korean equivalent "Sabum-nim"^note whose Japanese equivalent is "shisho" instead.
• Troubled Production: Production started as far back before the COVID-19 Pandemic happened, long enough that Erika Harlacher was originally confused before confirming her role.
• You Sound Familiar: Prior to voicing Jin here, Kaiji Tang provided the English-speaking voice of Lee Chaolan in Tag 2 and Tekken: Blood Vengeance.
