However, unbeknownst to Jin, the tournament was a ruse to lure Ogre out into the open, and Jin was subsequently executed by his grandfather, with a bullet to the head. Hungry to gain revenge on the powerful demon Ogre who is responsible for his mother's death, Jin fights viciously throughout the tournament before defeating Ogre's final form to win it and become champion. Jin Kazama, son of Kazuya Mishima enters the tournament at the behest of his grandfather and sponsor Heihachi. Tekken 3's plot, and the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3's events, were loosely covered in the recent Tekken: Bloodline Netflix series. In a surprise twist though, Heihachi was alive and entered the tournament, eventually meeting and defeating Kazuya to be crowned champion, before throwing his son's body into a volcano. Believing Heihachi to be dead, Kazuya began to embrace his devil gene, eager to see who would progress to meet him in the final. Kazuya successfully defeated his father during Tekken's climax in the tournament final, subsequently dropping him off a cliff in a final act of vengeance, giving birth to one of the most dysfunctional families in video games.Įvents in Tekken 2 saw roles reversed, with Kazuya himself this time sponsoring the tournament. Kazuya barely survived the fall, and years later enters the tournament in the hopes of gaining revenge on his father. Kazuya was seeking revenge for being thrown off a cliff as a child, an act that Heihachi claimed was intended to make sure Kazuya was strong enough to carry the Mishima name.

This would throw the whole tournament into doubt, as Heihachi himself has sponsored four of the seven previous tournaments. With Heihachi Mishima presumed dead following events in the last game, Tekken could be breaking a long-standing tradition by not including the Mishima family patriarch for the first time in its history. The recent reveal of Tekken 8 should mark the announcement of the 8th King of Iron Fist Tournament, with fighters from across the globe flocking to the event in hopes of taking away the top prize and proving themselves to be the very best.Įxactly how the King of Iron Fist Tournament will take shape this time around is unknown. This tournament is only entered by the world's very best fighters who compete in brutal combat in order to become champion. Each iteration of the highly popular Tekken franchise sees a new King of Iron Fist Tournament.
