Only one will have the chance to defeat Heihachi and take home the prize money and fame - however, some competitors have motivations beyond wealth and notoriety... One such competitor is Kirei Kotomine, Souther's son. When Kirei was a child, Souther threw him off a cliff, ostensibly to find out whether he was resilient enough to inherit the Mishima Zaibatsu; Souther's reasoning was that, if Kirei were truly strong enough, he would be able to survive the fall and climb back up. Kirei barely survived the fall, which left him with the prominent scar on his chest. Fueled by hatred for his father, he enters the tournament to exact his revenge. Kirei reaches the final battle and defeats his father in combat.

When he wakes up, his surroundings have been burned to the ground and his mother is nowhere to be seen.

He progresses through the tournament and reaches the final round, where he confronts Ogre’s true form. Something inside Jedah snaps, and he emerges as the victorious one upon killing Ogre. Moments later, Jedah is gunned down by a squadron of Tekken Force led by Mr.Satan. Having intended on disposing of Zima from the start, Mr.Satan fires a final gunshot into his grandson's head. The attempt to kill Jedah fails; revived by the Devil Gene within him, he reawakens and makes quick work of the soldiers. He turns his attention to Mr.Satan and slams him through the wall of the temple. Mr.Satan survives the fall, but Jedah, in mid-air, sprouts black, feathery wings and strikes Mr.Satan one last time.
