Tekken/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Wang Jinrei's ending in Tekken 5: it's really rather sad how Wang had to destroy the Tragic Monster Jinpachi's become, but their last talk together puts a lot of emphasis on the "Tragic" part.
  • Kazuya's ending in Tekken 5. Before he kills Jinpachi, he has a brief flashback from when he was a child, sparring with him.
    • His ending in Tekken 1 is a bit sad as well. Sure, he finally got revenge on Heihachi, and the ending had a somewhat upbeat tone. But upon hindsight, that moment leads to Kazuya turning into the monster he becomes for the rest of the series.
  • Baek's Tekken 6 ending is enough to draw a tear from anyone. As he takes an attack from Azazel which was intended for his pupil Hwoarang, he retaliates with a large kick and puts an end to the monster, only to collapse lifelessly to the floor. Hwoarang, as the faithful student he is, rushes to check on his master and calls out to him, but gets no response and lets out an anguished scream of Master to the sky. Poor guy...
  • Being a workaholic can be detrimental to one's social life, as described in Lei Wulong's Tekken 4 prologue. Not only were his cases unsucessful, but losing his girlfriend in the process was the kicker to everything.
  • Jin probably has it the worst. Being separated from his beloved mother at age fifteen, having trusted and been taken under the wing of his Jerkass grandfather for four years just to be betrayed by him at age nineteen, the constant battle against the Devil Gene in him, resorting to starting World War III all to end to his cursed heirloom... What more could a player ask?
