Most of the fights in the show have a purpose, and it even helps to progress the story. The pacing of the show really showcases all the characters struggles and motivations, and despite it being an adaptation of a fighting game, it is very rarely that the fights are in the story for the sake of having a fight.
It has helped me rationalise why the characters did what they did, even from the first original Tekken.Įven if you are a newcomer with no knowledge about the games, the series is easy to follow.
If it wasn't clear to you how he become what he became in the events of Tekken 3 and beyond, this anime sits you down and tells you the entire story. This Netflix exclusive anime focuses on Jin Kazama, the protagonist of Tekken 3, and his journey toward becoming the martial artist that he is in the games. There are multiple characters with different motivations throughout the game's history, and you could never really tell who or what they were after unless you religiously play through all of the characters' arcade mode, and even then, you wouldn't know know which story is officially canon.Īlthough one could say that the main story from the original Tekken to the latest game, Tekken 7, just revolves around the Mishimas trying to kill each other and throw each other off cliffs and volcanoes, the fact of the matter is: even as someone who played through all the games, I still can't clearly tell you the motivations behind some of the Mishima's actions in the games. Tekken historically has had a very convoluted storyline. I would love for you to actually go on a ride with this series, as it makes me very happy as a video game and fighting game nerd. There will be no spoilers in this Tekken: Bloodline review. Yes, there is a Jin vs Heihachi fight in this show.
