Line 10:
The apparent stoic hero of the series. Ignored by his father Heihachi, Kazuya plans to defeat his father and take over his company through defeating him in the King of Iron Fist Tournament. He succeeded, and it looks like he'd take the Zaibatsu in the right direction.
[[Bait the Dog|He didn't, and ended up using it as a means for his own purposes]]. You see, he completely hates his father for throwing him off a cliff and into a ravine when he was only 5 years old. He just so happened to inherit the Devil Gene, however, and he survived the fall, but by the time ''Tekken 2'' rolls around he has been completely corrupted with evil. During the second tournament, he got intimate with [[The Chosen One|Jun Kazama]], and later was defeated in his rematch against Heihachi and thrown into a volcano instead of a ravine to ensure his death.
However, a certain group of scientists of the G Corporation gathered his remains and revived him. When Heihachi trashed the lab where he resided, Kazuya struck back and entered the 4th tournament. Unfortunately, Heihachi beat him and then he got beaten by his own son Jin Kazama. Soon before ''Tekken 5'', a squad of Jack robots ambushed Kazuya and Heihachi, and Kazuya temporarily teamed with his father to repel it, only to stab him in the back and retreat. He found out that G Corporation betrayed him and slayed everyone in that division. When Jin rose as the tyrannical leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Kazuya retaliated and amassed people's popularity by leading the G Corporation to rival the Zaibatsu, which culminates to the 6th tournament.
Line 18:
** Not that he's any better to his own son, though.
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Archnemesis Dad]]: In both senses.
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: With Heihachi in the intro to ''5''. It doesn't last long, as Kazuya [[In the Back|uses Heihachi to ensure his escape]].
* [[Badass]]
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: That pimpin' purple suit of his, which becomes a [[Badass Longcoat]] in ''5''.
* [[Bait the Dog]]: You thought he's [[The Hero]]...
** He provides the trope picture and is one of the greatest examples of this trope in modern times. Face it; Namco got you ''good''.
** [[Fallen Hero]]: [[Just for Pun|Literally. In a cliff to be exact]].
*** 'Cept he was [[Villain Protagonist|never really the hero...]]
* [[Back
* [[Big Bad]]: In ''2''.
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: As of ''Tekken 4''.
Line 33:
** Perhaps as an earlier example, the [[Dream Match Game|non-canon]] ''Tekken Tag Tournament'' was promoted as Kazuya's "He's Back" moment, using his image heavily in promotional images and the game's opening.
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Subverted. He hates his dad for everything he ever did to him, but rather than call him out on it he prefers to just beat the crap out of him and take control of his corporate empire. Even if he did, it would be hypocritcal given he treats his own son just as bad, if not worse, and is nowadays more likely to be on the receiving end of this trope.
* [[Cool Shades]]: His 2P outfit in ''4''.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: In ''Tekken 2''. After some putzing around (and spending some time being dead) for the next four games, he's CEO of G Corporation and just as evil as ever.
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: As reimbursement for [[Death by Irony|dropping Heihachi down the very same ravine Heihachi threw himself as a child]], Heihachi climbs back out, beats the tar out of Kazuya, and then drops Kaz into a volcano that subsequently ''erupts''. Subverted since despite all that, he was [[Not Quite Dead]].
* [[Deal with the Devil]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: In hiding, cementing a power base and plotting revenge, for the first two decades of his only son's life. And when he emerges from the shadows, first thing he does is try to kill him and steal his power. He's worse than [[Austin Powers|Dr Evil.]]
* [[Doing
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: At least in The Motion Picture, Kazuya always held a soft spot on his [[Missing Mom]], who in his memories was a very loving woman. But since the mother was never mentioned in the game's canon, it may not be the case.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To his son, Jin.
* [[Evil Prince]]: Of a family-owned ''corporate'' empire, true, but otherwise fits this trope to a T, save that his dad is just as evil as he is.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]
Line 50:
* [[Involuntary Shapeshifting]]: It's implied that his transformation into Devil is this. {{spoiler|After unifying with Devil in ''4'', [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Kazuya can do this at will]]. And after ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'', the player can as well.}}
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: For ''T4'', Kazuya gains a move like this.
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: Kazuya is ''not'' [[The Hero]], as [[Bait the Dog|the first game leads you to believe]], and [[Death Is Cheap|he doesn't stay dead after the events of the second game]] either.
* [[Missing Mom]]: His mother is never mentioned in the games proper. In ''The Motion Picture'', his mother ([[Spell My Name with an "S"|Kazume/Kazumi]] Mishima) dies during childbirth.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Averted. Contrary to what [[The Other Wiki]] and other sources tell you, [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]] has not been voicing Kaz since ''4''. It is Masanori Shinohara and it ''always has been'' Shinohara. According to the Japanese Wikipedia, [[Joji Nakata]] voiced Kazuya back in ''1''-''2'' and ''Tag''.
** Seems to be happening again for ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'', until further trailers are out, and it's back to Shinohara once more.
Line 61:
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: For default. Otherwise, since ''2'', he's a [[Sharp-Dressed Man]].
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Kazuhiro Yamaji, his seiyuu in [[The Movie]], also voices Jin in the same movie.
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: Before Heihachi took over the Zaibatsu and threw him to a cliff, he was a very kind child and highly respected Jinpachi, who he even thought of as a real father. His ''Tekken 5'' ending shows signs of this....and then he [[Bait the Dog|kills Jinpachi anyway]], while wearing a [[Slasher Smile]] to boot. Bastard.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]
Line 73:
{{quote|Anytime! Any place! Bring it on, ya aliens!}}
Self-appointed "toughest man in the universe", and the only guy to ever fight Kazuya to a draw. Afterward, he has been eager to settle the score with Kazuya, but always encounters bad luck with the situation, especially with Kuma, who ends up as his ''true'' rival of all people. By the time of the 5th tournament he is highly in debt to the government, and in ''6'' he teams up with Marshall Law and Steve Fox to split the prize money 3-ways.
To be fair, though, he managed to defeat Ogre. But he wasn't declared the winner because he left without witnessing the birth of True Ogre, which Jin promptly beats. He also beat Heihachi, Jin (in the process of reaching Ogre), and tied with Kazuya. So far he is the only character to maintain a positive net victory against the Mishima clan.
Line 80:
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Animal Nemesis]]: His rivalry with both Kumas. Against Kuma, 2-0. Against Kuma II, 2-1 per canon.
* [[Anime Hair]]: The only time it's ''not'' seen defying gravity is in his 2P outfit from ''4''. Seriously, he, [[Street Fighter|Guile]], and [[The King of Fighters|Benimaru]] should share their secrets.
** A customization option is to ''[[Up to Eleven|make it larger]]''.
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]
* [[Badass Beard]]
Line 87:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Boy, is he ever.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: While the original games saw him as a legitimate rival to Kazuya, and a formidable presence in the tournament, all of the games from ''4'' on have seen his story become more silly and less tied to the overall plot with each subsequent game.
** Really, it set in as early as ''2''. In the first game, he is [[The Rival]] to Kazuya, the main character and son of [[Big Bad|Heihachi]]; in the second, he is [[The Rival]] to Kuma, Heihachi's ''pet''.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Mixing both types.
* [[Expy]]: Not one per se, but the customization mode in ''5'' allows the player to turn him into a bearded [[Street Fighter|Ken]].
** With his hair down and in his biker outfit, he looks like [[Triple H]].
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: An interesting subversion. Paul ''went undefeated'' throughout the Third King of Iron Fist Tournament, but he left before Ogre transformed. Because of his swelling pride, Paul boasted about his actual accomplishment, but because he technically didn't win, his bragging annoyed more than a few of his fans.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Guest Fighter]]: In ''Urban Reign'', a [[Beat'Em Up]] also by Namco.
Line 98:
** Well, that's because you have to beat him to progress with Law. If you beat the game with Paul, it's inferred he's fulfilled his promise with Law (judging by the little shack he holes himself in).
* [[Kiai]]: His deathfist yell is certainly the longest and loudest [[Kiai]] in the game. It's a dang powerful [[Megaton Punch]] too.
** His Burning Fist can occasionally be a ''[[One-Hit Kill]]''.
* [[Perma-Stubble]]
* [[Punched Across the Room]]: The Phoenix Smasher, his signature attack. Sends your opponent rolling back from the impact and one of the most painful moves in the whole series.
Line 110:
{{quote|(''jaguar noises'') }}
A jaguar-masked wrestler who knew only fighting until he ends up half-dead near a church. Saved, he becomes the hero for the children at the church's orphanage, donating his wrestling money for the children. Also a friend to another Jaguar-masked wrestler named Armor King. Being unable to cover the orphanage's bills with his wrestling income alone, he attempts to win the first tournament's prize money, but fails.
In the second game, he fell into a [[Heroic BSOD]] and drunken haze over his failure (or, alternatively, after learning that a child on his orphanage died), but was snapped back by Armor King.
He ends up killed by Ogre after the 2nd tournament, and a new King takes his place.
Tropes associated with King:
* [[Badass Preacher]]: So [[Badass]] that he wrestles for the sake of orphans and will fight you in his own church!
** [[Religious Bruiser]]: Implied moreso than stated. He doesn't actually talk, y'know.
* [[Cool Mask]]
** [[Masked Luchador]]
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: After their bout in ''Tekken'', the bitter Armor King become King's friendly rivals.
* [[Expy]]: He's one big [[Shout-Out]] to the main character and series called ''[[Tiger Mask]]'', and he also shares similarities with his story. One of his alternate masks in ''6'' is literally the Tiger Mask mask with a jaguar pattern.
** He also takes more than a few pages from [[wikipedia:Fray Tormenta|Fray Tormenta,]] a Catholic priest who became a masked wrestler in order to support an orphanage.
** King himself (and by proxy, King II) has an expy in the form of ''[[F-Zero]]'''s Leon.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: In ''2''.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Not THAT huge, but he's a wrestler.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Fell to it in ''Tekken 2''.
** You would too if in his shoes. He saw an infant ''[[Tear Jerker|die in his arms]]'' shortly after his orphanage was completed and subsequently fell into a drunken stupor.
*** Thought that's either [[Fanon]] or, possibly, a quirky [[Woolseyism]]. His ''Tekken 2'' Japanese profile gives no reason for his [[Heroic BSOD]], while official guides state he's depressed for failing to get the money the orphanage needed from the first tournament.
* [[Animal Motifs|Jaguar Motif]]
Line 134:
* [[Legacy Character]]: Just like his inspiration, Fray Tormenta, one of his orphans takes up his mask after he falls.
* [[Professional Wrestling]]: Specifically, Lucha Libre.
* [[The Rival]]: Armor King in ''Tekken''.
* [[Send in the Clones]]: Armor King and the Rogers also borrow a lot. Try feeling proud of yourself after getting thrown across the room by a kangaroo.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Only growls.
Line 155:
* [[Chef of Iron]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Has [[Enter the Dragon|three slashes across his chest]].
* [[Guest Fighter]]: Much like Paul, Law makes a cameo in ''Urban Reign''.
* [[Happily Married]]: Judging by Yoshimitsu's ending in ''1'' and his story in ''5'', we know that [[Hot Mom|Mrs. Law]] is still around the household; we just haven't seen her in a while.
* [[Hot Dad]]
* [[Jerkass]]
Line 169:
* [[Put on a Bus]]: When Forrest Law [[Generation Xerox|took his dad's place]] in ''3'', many thought that Marshall would be going this route... which set up a double subversion of sorts when Forrest was relegated to the background after ''Tag Tournament'' and Marshall returned in ''4''.
* [[Roger Craig Smith]]: His voice actor in ''6''.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Starting in ''2''.
Line 175:
{{quote|Come on, baby. Show me what you got. }}
An assassin for hire, who has a REAL bad blood with her sister Anna. Nina is first hired to assassinate Heihachi. That failed. Later, she got hired to assassinate Kazuya, but her rivalry with Anna hindered her progress, and ended up getting her captured by Dr. Bosconovitch and put into cryogenic sleep. Years later, she was reawakened through Ogre's return, but suffered amnesia. She was then hired to assassinate Jin Kazama, but failed. Anna helped her regain her memories, but that triggers Nina's hostility toward her and she returns to her life of killing. She's later hired to assassinate the boxer Steve Fox, but found one shocking revelation: he's her son conceived in a test tube during her cryosleep. She ends up canceling her contract, and later meets up with Anna, whom she ends up defeating in the 5th tournament.
After Jin took over the Zaibatsu and started the war, Nina had practically run out of clients. Noticing her skills, Jin decided to hire her as his personal guard. She accepted and now leads the Tekken Force along with Eddy Gordo in the 6th tournament.
Tropes associated with Nina:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Aloof Big Brother|Aloof Elder Sister]]: Towards Anna.
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: As a move. In fact, if facing a female opponent, [[Cat Fight|Nina and her foe can enter a potentially endless slapfest.]]
* [[Brainwashed]]: By Ogre's presence in ''Tekken 3''.
* [[Breakout Character]]: To the point of receiving her own game (''Death by Degrees'').
* [[Cain and Abel]]: Her and Anna. The distinction of which one is actually the Cain is quite ambiguous at times, and seems to switch between the two at a moment's notice.
* [[Cat Fight]]/[[Sibling Rivalry]]/[[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]: With Anna. Happens ''a lot''. The best example would be in her ending from ''Tekken 6'', where the two fight in the ladies' restroom after preparing for a formal event, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw6XUkHHmQ8 wrecking the entire room in the process.] Nina wins, and [[Face Doodling|draws on Anna's face with lipstick for added measure]].
** However, it should be noted that Anna's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q129VAuEjj0 ending] in the same game has the two on good terms for a change, with the two playing a well-mannered game of pool before teaming up [[Bar Brawl|to beat the ever-loving crap out of some thugs]]. Nina even compliments Anna with a "wow".
* [[Christmas Cake]]: Due to the cyrogenic freezing process, Nina is actually 42 as of ''6''. Then again, Nina probably isn't the type of woman who cares about romance.
** Going into reasons outside the story, the decision to use cryogenic freezing on Nina was probably to avoid having her become a [[Christmas Cake]] to the fandom. Some 22 years later she's still as fresh-faced as when she participated in ''Tekken 2'' and that is surely to the liking of many in the fandom.
Line 199:
** Come to think of it, whatever happened to ''Mrs. Williams''?
* [[The Dragon]]: In ''Tekken 6'', she plays this role in Jin Kazama's organization.
** [[Bodyguard Babes]]
** {{spoiler|[[Dragon Ascendant]]: Subverted. By the end of Scenario Campaign, Jin's status as a [[Fake Defector]] is discovered. Nina's words show that Jin trusted her enough to let her in on his plan and imply that [[You Are in Command Now|she's the new leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu]].}}
* [[Femme Fatale]]
* [[Foot Focus]]: In the first game.
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: She's Irish, although [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent|it doesn't show]].
* [[Groin Attack]]: The attack she's best known for using.
* [[Hot Mom]]: She is technically (in the genetic sense) Steve Fox's mother.
** [[Action Mom]]: Subverted, as she didn't know of her connection to Steve until the end of the fourth tournament and didn't even raise him.
* [[Human Popsicle]]
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: In ''Tekken 3'', until she recovers.
** Notably, all it takes to restore her memory is seeing her father's grave. It didn't end well (for Anna, anyway).
* [[Mama Bear]]: An unusual example; she does take out the assailants who were about to take out Steve during her mission.
* [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]]: Her voice actress in ''[[Spin-Off|Death by Degrees]]'' and ''6''.
Line 215:
** [[The Other Darrin]]: Her voice actress (in the main series) changed from Lynn Harris (''Tekken'' to ''Tekken Tag Tournament'') to Lisle Wilkerson (''4'' and ''5'') to [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]] in ''6''
** [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: Come the Japanese version of ''[[Tekken: Blood Vengeance]]'', she's voiced by [[Atsuko Tanaka]], who's voiced several roles also done by McGlynn.
* [[Musical Nod]]: Her and Anna's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFkfx_Az4Nc endings] in ''5'' begin with a few notes from [[Soul Series|Raphael Sorel]]'s theme in ''Soulcalibur III'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W_RxZtsnwY "Endless Warfare".]
* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: Her 1P outfit in ''2'', complete with [[Zettai Ryouiki]].
* [[Oireland]]: Not stereotypically, though.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Notably, her endings with Steve in ''4'', where she finds that she can't kill her own son and actually thanks him for allowing her getaway. This is [[Sugar and Ice Personality|a rare show of kindness for the icy and aloof]] Nina and makes you wonder about the kind of woman Nina would turn out to be if her life wasn't plagued by the death of her father, an intense sibling rivalry, losing her memory, and being [[Mind Control|manipulated]] by Ogre.
** If playing as her in Scenario Campaign, she warns Christie before her boss fight that going after Eddy will get herself hurt.
** Before Anna's boss fight, she comments on how ridiculous it was for her to go team up with Kazuya just to get another shot by fighting her.
* [[Professional Killer]]
** [[Cold Sniper]]: Mostly played straight, although she's unable to kill Steve despite allegedly feeling nothing for him.
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Her 2P outfit in ''5''.
* [[Sexy Walk]]: One of her win poses, followed by a [[Noblewoman's Laugh]].
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: At least one of her outfits is one of these.
* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]]: Lisle Wilkerson voices both Nina and Christie in ''5''.
Line 233:
** Er...not quite at only 5'3" she's a pixie, she only looks tall because she's got a svelte body type and the male characters aren't that tall either
* [[Tomboy]]: To Anna's Girly Girl.
* [[Truce Zone]]: As seen in ''2'', despite their mutual hatred, the Williams sisters won't fight to the death if they're visiting their father's grave.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Gal]]: At first she wanted to impress her dad.
Line 246:
Tropes associated with Yoshimitsu:
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: His mechanical left hand.
* [[The Bait]]: In both ''Tekken'' and ''Tekken 4'', he enters as a distraction while his men ransack the Mishima Vault.
* [[Cast
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Cool Sword]]
** [[Empathic Weapon]]
*** [[Evil Weapon]]: To a degree. The blade craves to taste the blood of evil-doers (here's looking at you, Bryan) and will [[Your Soul Is Mine|suck out the soul of its owner]] if they do not make good on this promise. Apparently, [[Soul Jar|the souls of the previous Yoshimitsu are a part of the sword]], as the ascension ceremony for the newest leader requires being cut by the sword.
** [[Dual-Wielding]]: In ''6'', Yoshimitsu gains a new blade called Fumaken, which is able to seal the properties of his original sword. He can use both weapons in tandem or just rely on [[Good Old Fisticuffs|bare-knuckled beatdowns]].
** [[Katanas Are Just Better]]
** [[Laser Blade]]: Sometimes takes the form of one. It became one by default beginning in ''3''.
** [[Named Weapons]]
*** [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: In-game variant. Going by his [[Soul Series|ancestor's story]], the sword is named after the founder of the Manji party. All leaders of the party then take the name [[Legacy Character|Yoshimitsu]] from the sword.
** [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: His Yoshimitsu Blade attack normally subverts this, as Yoshi simply slams his hilt into his foe's stomach. However, if they're running at you, he'll turn the blade upwards and slash right through them.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Without a doubt, he's one of the games' weirder looking characters. He's also [[Nice Guy|one of the nicest.]]
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]
** [[Not Quite Flight]]
** [[Spin Attack]]: Be careful though, or Yoshi might become too dizzy and fall down.
** [[Spin to Deflect Stuff]]
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Yoshi, possibly as a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: Via mediatation or [[Energy Absorption|draining the lifeforce from his enemies]] with a [[Face Palm of Doom]]. And he'll ''definitely'' need it.
** There's also an inverted version with the second method: he can transfer ''his'' energy to his opponent. "Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor", eh Yoshi?
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Dr. Boskonvitch
* [[Invisibility]]: As seen in his and Bryan's ''5'' endings.
* [[Just Like Robin Hood]]: No, really. He's essentially the modern day version of [[Robin Hood]]... '''{{smallcaps|[[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]]}}'''
* [[Legacy Character]]: This particular Yoshimitsu has been the same man in every game. However, his title and sword descend from the [[Soul Series|late 16th century]].
* [[Nice Hat]]: Always have one. Except maybe during the third game where even his head looks like an alien hat...
Line 296:
* '''[[The Bus Came Back]]''': She's coming back to the series, albeit in non-canonically in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 as a console exclusive, like Jun, and other series staples that haven't appeared in a while.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: You didn't think that amulet Kunimitsu tried to steal would pop up again, did you?
* [[Combat Stilettos]]
* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday|Dangerous Eighteenth Birthday]]: It's when her mother informed her that [[Disappeared Dad|Heihachi killed her father]].
* [[Fan Service Pack]]: She appears roughly the same age as her adopted daughter Julia in her TTT2 appearance.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Hot Mom]]: A variation; she adopted Julia. Michelle actually [[The Cameo|cameos]] in Julia's ending in ''3''.
* [[Nature Hero]]
* [[Parental Substitute]]: For Julia.
* [[Retired Badass]]
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Apparently her martial-arts training includes suplexes.
* [[You Killed My Father]]: And kidnapped her mother as well, so now [[It's Personal]].
Line 319:
Tropes associated with Jack:
* [[Akio Ohtsuka]]: Jack-2's seiyuu in [[The Movie]].
* [[
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: Flying sitsplash.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Jack-6 will not hesitate to remind you in Scenario Campaign that he loves fighting.
* [[Bodyguard Crush]], [[Rescue Romance]], ''and'' [[Interspecies Romance]]: Jack-2 overcame his programming to project Jane until Dr. Abel's [[Kill Sat]] put him out of commission. Jane spends the next twenty years looking for a way to resurrect her beloved Jack ([[She's All Grown Up|and grows up to become quite the]] [[Hot Scientist|intelligent]] [[Sensual Slavs|beauty]]), her feelings intensify when Gun Jack pulls an [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save her from Tekken Force members. When Jane finally installs Jack-5's missing memories of her, he initially goes haywire but then relents, scoops her up bridal-style like a [[Knight in Shining Armor]].
* [[Cool Shades]]: Prototype Jack, after his ''T2'' makeover.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: In ''Devil Within'', there are [[Robot Girl|female Jacks]]. Instead of sporting the bulky frame commonly associated with the linear models, they sport a sleek, feminine design (complete with [[Combat Stilettos]]). They do retain the trademark mohawk, which makes them look a bit weird.
* [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: Everyone in the series underwent this at some point, especially by the time of ''5'', but this was necessary in ''Tekken Tag Tournament'', where Jack-2, P. Jack, and Gun Jack were all playable.
* [[Hulk Speak]]: How Jack-6 communicates in Scenario Mode in ''Tekken 6''.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Gun Jack's story in ''3'' states that he has guns mounted in his arms. However, they are non-functional during the tournament. Later Jack models have functional firearms.
Line 331:
* [[King Bob the Nth]]: Except for Gun Jack in ''Tekken 3'', Jack (and his other production models) show up as "Jack X".
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Named as such, when it's not called Gigaton.
** And it's a case of [[Guide Dang It]], as most mainstream players (and even a few Jack experts) don't know exactly what a "Lever Spin" is.
* [[Mecha-Mooks]]: Jack-4 serves this role story-wise. They are also used as this in both ''Devil Within'' and ''Scenario Campaign''.
* [[Mighty Glacier]] and [[Husky Russkie]]: Epitomises this; his fighting "style" is "Brute Force". Although he's also [[The Voiceless]].
* [[Morality Pet]]: Jane.
* [[Non Dubbed Grunts]]: They've been using the same voices since the series' debut in 1994. The voice was pitched up a bit for ''3'', but that's about it.
* [[Personality Chip]]: Jack-2 has a chip installed in his CPU which allows him to learn and [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|become more human-like]], prompting him to want to protect Jane.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Mostly subverted.
* [[The Rival]]: P-Jack to Jack and Jack-2, NANCY-MI847J (the Mishima Zaibatsu's own Jack model) to Jack-6.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Every Jack (minus the first model, P-Jack, and Jack-4) serves as this to Jane, although there's [[Subtext]] on Jane's side that it's a bit more than that.
* [[Send in the Clones]]: Jack inspired not only his prototype, but fellow big guys Ganryu and Kuma. Later games would sometimes call them Jack clones.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In Jack's ending, he's attached to a machine codenamed "System 11". This is the name of the arcade cabinet hardware that ran ''Tekken'' and ''Tekken 2''.
* [[Spank the Cutie]]: One of P-Jack's side throws. [[Fetish Fuel|It can net you "interesting" results if performed on a female]].
* [[Super Prototype]]: Prototype Jack was [[Informed Ability|supposedly]] this to Jack and Jack-2, having been built to outpower them (he was also the first Jack to be able to fly, an aspect that would be carried over to all Jacks after Jack-2). It doesn't stop Jack-2 from scrapping him in ''2''.
* [[Taking You with Me]]: The Jack-4s attempt this on Heihachi. It doesn't work, although it does keep him down for the duration of ''5''.
* [[That Russian Squat Dance]]: As an attack.
* [[Third Person Person]]: Jack-6, according to Scenario Campaign.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Prototype Jack's ''Tekken'' incarnation has a drill hand.
* [[Top-Heavy Guy]]: Jack, Jack-5, and Jack-6.
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]
* [[Zerg Rush]]: Lacking the physical constitution of the other models, the [[Mecha-Mooks|mass-produced]] Jack-4s use their numbers to overpower Kazuya and Heihachi.
Line 360:
Tropes associated with Lee Chaolan:
* [[Animal Motifs]]: His clothing usually has the insignia of a unicorn on it. Said animal is a symbol of purity, elegance, and charm. It's also known for courage and strength.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: That snazzy tuxedo of his.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Implied, given the pool area ''alone'' is large enough to substitute for an arena.
** ''[[Tekken: Blood Vengeance]]'' confirms it. It has ''over sixty bedrooms''.
* [[Bishonen]]: He's approaching his 50s, but it certainly doesn't show.
** [[Older Than They Look]]
* [[Bring It]]/[[I Shall Taunt You]]: His Hitman stance. [[Shmuck Bait|You'll regret it]].
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Excellent!" (Not to be confused with [[The Simpsons (animation)|that other guy]].)
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: More so in the OVA.
Line 377:
** It doesn't hurt that's got the air of [[The Charmer]] about him. In ''The Motion Picture'', however, he's a straight-up [[The Casanova|Casanova]], with both Nina ''and'' Anna wrapped around his fingers, something that backfires ''spectacularly'' on him.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: He helps fix Alisa at the end of the Scenario Campaign in ''6'', and, in ''Blood Vengeance'', after he spots Xiaoyu, Alisa and Panda hiding in the forest, he takes them to his home to give them shelter and hospitality.
* [[Red Baron]]: The "Silverhaired Demon", referenced as early as the first game and makes a reappearance during the Abyss Gate stage of Scenario Campaign in ''6''.
* [[The Rival]]: Considers himself one to Kazuya. Kaz... really doesn't care.
** He's ''supposed'' to care. At least that was why Heihachi adopted Lee in the first place. Of course that whole business with the cliff and here we are today.
* [[Running Gag]]: Ever since ''5'', if something wacky or zany happens, and Lee isn't the focus of the scene, he always gives a thumbs up that is coupled with the cheesiest smile ''ever''. See Kuma and Panda's endings in ''5'' and Anna's ending in ''6'' for starters.
Line 401:
Tropes associated with Kuma:
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: For Kuma II, regarding Panda.
* [[Amplified Animal Aptitude]]: The first Kuma is labeled as a very intelligent animal capable of understanding the human language, "for unknown reasons". Kuma II is said to be smarter than him.
** To be fair, bears are [[Truth in Television|exceedingly intelligent]], having been estimated to have cognitive abilities comparable to great apes or even human toddlers. It certainly is conceivable that he could have learned how to understand human speech.
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: Flying sit-down splash.
Line 430:
** [[Incurable Cough of Death]]: It's actually a disease he caught around the time of ''Tekken 2'', and which left him weak enough for Marduk to [[Curb Stomp Battle|kill him.]]
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Between him and King I, but only ''after'' their second fight at the First King of Iron Fist Tournament.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Did this to the 1st King in ''Tekken 2''.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Slight subversion; he didn't lose his eye, King simply smashed his eye by accident, badly damaging it.
Line 436:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Gee, I wonder why he's named]] '''[[Send in the Clones|Armor]]''' King.
** Subverted in most games with an additional costume that ditches the armor.
* [[Manly Tears]]: He broke down in tears as he told King II {{spoiler|how his predecesor was murdered}}.
* [[Mentors]]: To King II.
** [[Mentor Occupational Hazard]]
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: To King II.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: His [[Mismatched Eyes|left eye]], due to a mistake on King's part. {{spoiler|Although Armor King II's appearance implies that the red eye is a feature of the mask.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Similar to King, the second Armor King takes several moves from well-known [[WWE]] wrestlers. These include: [[Shawn Michaels|a flying forearm smash,]] [[Randy Savage|a flying elbow drop,]] [[The Undertaker|the Tombstone Piledriver,]] [[Booker T|a scissors kick,]] and [[Edge|the Spear.]] One can add the [[Stone Cold Steve Austin|Stunner]] to the list as of ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2.''
** One can argue that his Hades Drop throw has some similarities to [[CM Punk]] and his Go To Sleep. Both start from a fireman's carry and end with a kick to the head.
Line 451:
{{quote|[[Noblewoman's Laugh|Hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh!]]}}
Good friend of Heihachi's father, Jinpachi. Watched with dismay as the Zaibatsu sank into evil, and started training people to take them on. He test Law for this in ''Tekken'', but finds him not good enough. In ''Tekken 2'', he faces Jun Kazama and realizes she's [[The Chosen One|the one]] and lets her proceed. Retires from the frontline afterwards until ''Tekken 5'', where a letter of his [[Not Quite Dead]] friend Jinpachi forces him out of retirement. He's also a trainer and distant relative of Ling Xiaoyu.
Tropes associated with Wang:
Line 468:
{{quote|Come over here, let me talk to you real close...}}
Nina's sister. They still don't like each other. She has hated her father and sister ever since he disowned her for not taking the family's assassin career, preferring a normal lifestyle, and favouring Nina after she embraced it. Even after her father's death, her hatred of Nina only escalated in violence, until they tried to off each other with heavy weaponry. Determined to settle it at the 2nd tournament, they were interrupted and captured during their bout. After hearing Nina would be used as a guinea pig on a cryo-sleep experiment that'd keep her young, she demanded to be subjected as well.
20 years later, Anna awakened alongside Nina and discovered she was amnesiac. She got to her during the 3rd Tournament, but she eventually disappeared after recovering part of her memories, including how much she hated her guts. Anna gave up and went on her live until Nina came back to see her, recovering her remaining memories and setting their rivalry off once again.
Tropes associated with Anna:
Line 480:
** [[Butt Monkey]]: Adding to that, Anna has never defeated Nina ''once''. In Scenario Campaign, before Anna's boss fight, Nina (if playing as her) herself even comments on how ridiculous it was for Anna to team up with Kazuya just to get another shot at defeating her.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: With Nina.
* [[Career Killers]]
* [[Cat Fight]]/[[Sibling Rivalry]]/[[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]: See Nina's entry.
* [[Christmas Cake]]
* [[Cleavage Window]]: One of her outfits is a red dress with the top closed around the neck to make this.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: Inflicts this on Nina in her in ''T5'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9Loo3PPIl0 ending.] As Nina tries to cover up (and fails) a [[Sexophone]] plays. [[Distracted by the Sexy|Oh my]].
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: [[Kick Them While They Are Down|With the same secondary function as Nina]].
* [[Cry Cute]]: Her ending in ''T1'', were Nina slaps her ''and'' stole one of her high-heels, although the primitive character models (in retrospect; it was top-notch back in the day) kinda ruins it.
* [[Determinator]]: ''Nothing'' will stop her from going after Nina.
* [[Dominatrix]]: She does have that vibe, as her ''T5-6'' victory has her sitting on her opponents. See [[Spank the Cutie]] below.
* [[Dragon Lady]]: Subverted. Anna sports the quipao (starting in ''5''), [[She's Got Legs|has killer legs]], possesses [[The Vamp|a dangerous sexual aura]], and (due to being an assassin) has more than enough killer instinct, but she's Irish.
* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: In ''The Motion Picture'', she's ''mutilated'' by an Alex clone. Yeesh...
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: Again, see Nina's entry.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl]]: To Nina's Tomboy.
* [[Hair Color Dissonance]]: In the first two games and the anime, Anna is raven-haired.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Meet Lenne Hardt, the woman responsible for the [[So Bad It's Horrible/Voice Acting|monstrosity]] that was [[Mega Man X|Axl]] in ''Mega Man X7''. Fortunately, she is decidedly ''sexy'' as Anna.
** She gets [[The Other Darrin|replaced]] in ''6'' by Debra Jean Rogers, who voiced another Namco hottie--[[Soul Series|Cassandra]].
* [[Human Popsicle]]: Same as Nina. In fact, she subjected herself to the same studies as Nina, due to jealousy of Nina being able to keep her youthful looks, as well as the implications that she'd [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|feel lonely]] [[Worthy Opponent|without her sister]].
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Whilst not very nice in general, in ''Tekken 3'' when Nina had lost all her memories, Anna tried her best to stop her from becoming an assassin again (unfortunately, she failed). On that topic, if she was willing to give herself up for cryogenics whilst her sister was undergoing them, she must care about her at least a little.
* [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]]: If her trademark qipao has anything to say about it.
Line 507:
* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]
* [[Oireland]]: Same case as her sister.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Anna's rarely-seen compassionate side surfaces in ''3'' when she makes a legitimate effort to help Nina regain her memories and try to prevent her from becoming an assassin again.
* [[Powered Armor]]: For some odd version, Anna is seen wearing a combat suit in ''Death by Degrees''.
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: She gains a fur coat as an alternate outfit in ''3''. Let's just say that PETA didn't approve...
** She receives another fur coat in ''6'', which is greatly toned down in audacity.
* [[Send in the Clones]]: As was the standard for midboss characters in ''1'', her movelist was basically someone else's (here, only Nina would do) with a few additions. Like other clones, her fighting style is differentiated more as time goes on.
* [[Spank the Cutie]]: In her Story Mode fight against Lee in ''5'', a victorious Anna [[Fetish Fuel|will sit on his back and repeatedly spank him]], wanting Lee to "squeal like a little piggy".
* [[Stripperific]]
** [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Just read her dialogue with Alisa (or just her dialogue in general) in Scenario Campaign.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Anna is voiced by Debra Jean Rogers in ''Death by Degrees'' and ''6''. [[Tara Platt]] was her VA in ''[[Tekken: Blood Vengeance]]'', while Lenne Hardt voiced her in ''Tekken 5''.
* [[Took a Level
** In this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGkBxZUlm5c video], displaying her new moves as Tekken 6 came out, she's shown to be ''much more dangerous''.
* [[The Vamp]]: Though we haven't really seen her seduce anyone. Unfortunately, the [[Fan Dumb]] sees her as a complete whore, let alone "Nina's slutty sister", despite the fact that we haven't seen her to do anything related to the sort.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: Oh, boy...
Line 527:
{{quote|Dosukoi!}}
A sumotori. In the first game, he walks into the first tournament as a greedy corrupt man, looking out for riches and glory only. This is where we learn that Yoshimitsu is a big fan of good, clean sumo: and thus, Ganryu gets thrashed by him for his misdeeds in the tournament. He, however, falls instantly for another contestant he just saw: Michelle Chang.
When the second tournament rolls around, he's working for Kazuya, as a thug for hire. Rumors said he begged Kazuya to set things up so he can confess his love to Michelle. He fails to fulfill his orders. He then confesses his love to her. And that fails too.
Afterwards, looks like Ganryu ''finally'' learns his lesson, quits being a bad guy, and works his ass off to create and maintain a successful sumo stable in Hawaii. He then sees Julia Chang in the fourth tournament, and falls in love again. When he finds she's on a quest to revitalise her forests, he decides to come in and 'help', hoping he can get a chance to confess his affection. [[Running Gag|Unsurprisingly]], that fails ''once again''.
Tropes associated with Ganryu:
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Manifests several times in Scenario Campaign. Makes sense when you realize he entered the tournament just to promote his restaurant, not expecting to be dragged into Lars and Alisa's battle against the Zaibatsu and G Corporation.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Definitely not to Michelle, but to Julia, he is.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Has a small scar on his forehead.
* [[Greed]]: At least in ''1'', he has a pretty strong gambling addiction.
** Though there's no actual ''official'' source about that, as far as its known.
* [[Heel]]: Acted as one while he was a rikishi (fire breathing &c). Thing is, unless we're talking comic sumo, you are ''not supposed to do that''; ceremony is ''extremely'' important in sumo, and between this and his gambling addiction, you can see why the sumo federation denied him his Yokozuna promotion. [[Heel Face Turn|He gets better]].
** This is probably connected to [[Truth in Television]]; about the time the first Tekken was published, scandals were cropping up in the sumo establishment about fight fixing. Admittedly, the case ''there'' was to guarantee that rikishi in a certain type of match set would come out at least 8-7 (i.e. more wins than losses); the fixes were almost always of the sort where a rikishi with an 8-6 record (i.e. guaranteed to have the necessary win majority) would take a fall to a 7-7. Not so much about wealth as glory, but Ganryu in ''1'' can perhaps be thought of as this corruption's logical conclusion.
Line 545:
* [[The Munchausen]]: In ''5'' and ''6'', he doesn't miss too many opportunities to gloat that his opponent is about to learn first-hand the kind of prowess needed to be a yokozuna, and why only 69 rikishi ever made it that far. One little problem: Ganryu never ''reached'' yokozuna as his actitude led to being denied the ascension. He'd been the youngest ouzeki to date, yes. But never yokozuna...
* [[Send in the Clones]]: [[Divergent Character Evolution|Worked away from this as the games went on]], but see Jack.
* [[Underwear of Power]]
== Kunimitsu ==
Another ninja. She (yes, she) used to be part of Yoshimitsu's tribe, until she started stealing for herself and was thus kicked out. The first tournament saw her trying to steal Michelle's [[MacGuffin]] pendant, but Michelle smacked her away.
After working as an air conditioner repairninja, she heard about her grandfather's unfulfilled desire to replicate Yoshimitsu's katana. Knowing the old man has little time left, she enters the second tournament to snatch it out of Yo-man's hands. What happened to her afterwards is unknown as she has never returned (except for [[Dream Match Game]] ''Tag Tournament''), but Yoshimitsu's ending in that one seems to imply her [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|ultimate fate]].
Line 564:
* [[Deceptive Disciple]]/[[The Starscream]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Yoshimitsu.
* [[Evil Redhead]]: However, both artwork and in-game models have her hair [[Hair Color Dissonance|going anywhere from]] [[Rose-Haired Girl|pink]] to [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|brown]].
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Appears to sport some sort of burn marks on her face in ''TTT2'', visible just below where her mask cuts off.
* [[Greed]]: The reason she was kicked out of the Manji.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Ok, more like daggers...
** [[Dual-Wielding]]: Subverted as her moveset in ''1'' is just Yoshimitsu's, so she doesn't use the second blade (or [[Sinister Scythe|sickle]]). She drops the second weapon altogether in ''2''.
* [[The Rival]]: To Yoshimitsu in ''Tekken 2''.
Line 587:
* [[Abusive Parents]]: While his own dad was practically a saint ([[Demonic Possession]] aside), Heihachi thinks chucking your son off a cliff or adopting another son solely to forment sibling rivarly are sound parenting skills. Then he tries to kill them when the [[Sarcasm Mode|ungrateful brats]] don't appreciate all he's done for them.
** He also extends his abuse over the generations. Grandson? More like live bait to attract an ancient monster that feeds off fighting skill! Did he screw up your plan by killing the beast? Bullet between the eyes. Later on he ropes his son and grandson into being future subjects for his research.
* [[Anime Hair]]: The only hair he has left is just as farcical as that of his son and grandson.
* [[Archnemesis Dad]]: Like his son he's on both sides of this trope- his war with Kazuya is pretty much the central plot of the games, but in ''5'' it turns out he wasn't on good terms with his own dad either. The latter is an inversion, though- his father was a pretty decent guy; Heihachi turned on him because he ''wasn't.''
* [[Badass]]
** [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Father and son team up to kick robot ass! Only in ''Tekken 5''.
** [[Badass Grandpa]]
** [[Badass Mustache]]: Looks a bit like a [[Porn Stache]], though...
** [[Badass Normal]]: Who needs Devil Gene to kick ass?
*** As of ''Tekken 5'', you can scratch the "normal" part. Can't think of anyone else in the game who is seemingly ''invincible''.
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Banjo Ginga]]: His seiyuu in the second game and in the Japanese-dubbed version of the [[Live Action Adaptation]].
* [[Big Bad]]: [[Comic Relief|Not so much]] since ''Tekken 5'', but definitely in the earlier games.
* [[Black Sheep]]
* [[Boss Remix]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f2PXby0kL8 arcade version] of his theme in ''3'' is a darker, more badass version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCTag_9WW5w Jin's theme.] The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEsO0vTvTj0 remixed version,] on the other hand, sounds a bit like [[The Jimmy Hart Version]] of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7ejsNdvpxA "Rollin With Kid N Play",] thanks to that bass.
* [[Call Back]]: His endings in ''2'' and ''3'' are titled "A Son's Fall" and "A Grandson's Fall" respectively, referring to Kazuya's canonical ending in ''1'' (i.e. "A Father's Fall") where he drops Heihachi down the same ravine Heihachi threw him down as a child. Both of Heihachi's endings (the one in ''3'' is non-canonical) involve him [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|dropping his relatives from a high altitude]].
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
* [[Daisuke Gouri]]: His seiyuu from ''3'' to ''6'', and the ''only'' seiyuu from the games to voice their character in [[The Movie]].
* [[Determinator]]: Not even being blown up (''point-blank'') by a squadron of Jack-4s, shot through the air at breakneck speeds, and crashing into a monument in the middle of a forest miles away [[No One Could Survive That|is enough to kill Heihachi]]!
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Happens to him ''twice'', no less. After the first game, he is removed as Mishima Zaibatsu head by Kazuya and has to fight his way through Kazuya's King of Iron Fist Tournament two years later to get it back (he does). Later on, he hosts the fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament and this time is declared the official winner but is ambushed at his Hon-Maru compound and presumed dead. He wasn't, and still wakes up in time to compete in the sixth tournament, hosted by his grandson.
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: Let's just say that Heihachi didn't expect {{spoiler|Jin to come [[Back
* [[Dodge the Bullet]]: Catches one in his teeth in ''6''.
* [[Egopolis]]: Played for laughs. In ''Tekken 3'' he promises Ling Xiaoyu he'll give her an amusement park if she wins the tournament. In her ending when she does, he fulfills his promise... and opens up ''Heihachi Land.'' Which earns him a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]].
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: Starting from, and specially, in ''Tekken 3''.
** That is to say, thats when he starts getting old. He's been a dick most of his life.
* [[Expy]]: Of Edajima Heihachi from ''Peerless: The Legend of Heihachi Edajima''.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: The loincloth he wore in ''4'' was not exactly the thing people wanted to see...
** Though the bikini he is forced to wear during Lee's ending in ''Tekken 5'' ''is'' just plain wrong.
*** The best part? You can customize him in ''6'' to have the diaper from ''4'' in a different color.
** FYI, it's called a mawashi, and it's used by rikishi.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Mystic [[Rated "M" for Manly|Manly]] Heihachi [[Precision F-Strike|Muthafuckin']] Mishima Bentley, Jr., which is usually abbreviated as Mystic Man Bentley or MMB.
** Polish players reffer him as Heniek/Henio, which is a dimunitive form of Henry.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: He has an X-shaped scar across his chest, but a [[X Marks the Hero|hero]] he is ''not''.
* [[Greed]]
* [[Jerkass]]
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: More like a stomp.
* [[Made of Iron]]: The intro of ''Tekken 5''. In previous games he's a [[Badass Normal]]; from that moment onwards he's apparently [[Superman]].
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Miser]]: Seems to consider charity for its own sake extraordinary stupidity at best. In the ''Tekken 4'' endings the only character he outright refused to hand over his company to (the prize for that tournament) was Yoshimitsu, specifically ''because'' he was a [[Robin Hood]] type who robbed the rich to help the poor (of course, Yoshimitsu [[Genre Savvy|expected that]] and was in the middle of [[Unwitting Pawn|robbing him anyway]]). While Heihachi can appear generous in public, this is always to pass of as a [[Villain with Good Publicity]] or to otherwise get something in return.
Line 640:
* [[Smug Snake]]: Bar ''Tekken 2'', his plans rarely go the way he wants them to. And he wouldn't have been in that situation if he hadn't lost to Kazuya in ''Tekken 1''.
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Founded the ''Tekken Force'' to promote world peace, repair the damage Kazuya had done to the Zaibatsu's public image, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|hunt down and capture ancient demonic fighting gods to find out how to harness their power.]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: If not clad in his dogi, he'll be shirtless. Unfortunately, ''4'' got a bit carried away...
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Seriously. He has a ''powerbomb'' as a throw.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: In ''Tekken 3'' to his own grandson, whom he used to lure Ogre out of hiding and then tried to kill once the latter was defeated.
Line 650:
Tropes associated with Devil/Angel:
* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: Sadly, Angel seems to have lost this fight.
* [[Big Bad]]: Devil in ''Tekken 2''.
** [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: With Kazuya.
Line 657:
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Those who didn't see the subtle [[Foreshadowing]] in (or even ''know'' about) Devil's cameo as an alternate costume for Kazuya in ''1'' were probably surprised to see this guy show up as the [[Final Boss]] in ''2''.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Devil sports the same scars as Kazuya.
* [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: [[Captain Obvious|...]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Angel, complete with a laurel wreath on her head.
* [[Lady of War]]: Going by her new look in [[TTT 2]], Angel may or may not be this. It could be a subversion, though, seeing that she does have the looks, laser beams, wild flying, and punches that send people soaring for the skies aren't very elegant.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Not so much with Angel, but Devil is called Devil for a reason.
* [[Our Demons Are Different]]/[[Our Angels Are Different]]
* [[Power Echoes]]: In the home ports of ''2'' and in ''TTT'', Devil's voice (which is the same as Kazuya's) was distorted in order to achieve this effect.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Angel hasn't made a canonical appearance since ''2''. Given that Kazuya has shown almost no redeemable qualities since his return {{spoiler|and became one with Devil at the end of ''4''}}, [[Put on a Bus to Hell|Angel's bus might have been on a one-way trip to Hell.]]
** '''[[The Bus Came Back]]''': Angel returned to the series in ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'', along with others like Kunimitsu, Michelle, and regular Ogre.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Devil. Coupled with [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]].
Line 669:
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: To Kazuya.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: In every appearance, Devil and Kazuya have shared a seiyuu. {{spoiler|[[Justified Trope|For all intents and purposes]], [[Fusion Dance|they are the same person]], especially after the end of the fourth game.}}
* [[True Final Boss]]: Of ''Tekken 2''. Angel is there only if you play as Devil.
* [[Wings Do Nothing]]: Subverted, as Devil/Angel do make use of them for a few attacks.
* [[Woman in White]]: Angel, natch.
