Web Animation / Tekken - The Mishima Hairline

Go To

A parody animation created by speedoru based on the Tekken series, mostly the first game. Can be viewed here.

Baby Kazuya Mishima is taking his first steps (in the form of Korean Backdashing). This is enough for his father, Heihachi, decides to test his potential with an old-time Mishima family tradition - throwing the newborn baby off a cliff. Even though Kazuya survives, climbs back up and Heihachi is incredibly proud, Kazuya still sports a grudge that he carries to the present day, seeking revenge...


This short animation provides examples of:

  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. Heihachi of all people is a much more doting and proud father, unlike in canon, where he hates Kazuya as much as his son hates him. Still downplayed, however, considering he still throws Kazuya off a cliff, is only mildly disappointed when the baby doesn't immediately come back, and threw his own father off a cliff just to get back at him.
  • Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Kazuya's childhood in a nutshell, particularly the "get thrown off a cliff by your dad" thing. Apparently that in particular is a family tradition, unlike in canon where Heihachi throwing Kazuya off a cliff was actually to test if he had inherited the Devil Gene from his mother or not.
  • Like Father, Like Son: Lampshaded by Heihachi, who is proud when Kazuya throws him off a cliff at the end, much like Heihachi did to his own father.
  • Little "No": When Kazuya comments that some of the competitors Heihachi has lined up as "some of the strongest fighters in the world" look like "runoff from the local zoo", Heihachi's denial is very sheepish.
  • Shout-Out: The scream Heihachi does when he's thrown off a cliff by Kazuya is the infamous "I'M SO GAAAAAYYYYY!" Jarek scream from Mortal Kombat 4.
  • So Proud of You: From Heihachi to Kazuya. Yes, Heihachi, who has a mutual hatred of his son in canon, is only mildly antagonistic towards him and proud of his son following in his footsteps.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Kazuya's "first steps" are him doing Korean Backdashing, an advanced technique used by high-level Tekken players. Neither Kazumi or Heihachi see anything wrong with this, if anything Heihachi is impressed and considers it proof that Kazuya has "strong fighters legs".
