Tekken/WMG: Difference between revisions

Let's review: Kazuya was chucked off a cliff as a child when his Devil awoke. Then, we first see Jin's Devil form after he gets gunned down, followed by Heihachi shooting him in the head. Finally, Jinpachi was locked underground of Hon-Maru and possibly starved.

*** Ah, but you didn't see his face, did you? From what I can tell, he seems to have ''[[Nightmare Fuel|no face]]'', just a disfigured lump from what I could see. To me it seems that Armor King was going through the process of regenerating a new head, to prove his identity to King. The reason King hasn't said anything is because he's been [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|scared witless by what he saw]].

Whenever Jin lapses into his Devil state, it ends with him (a) in normal phase; (b) waking up with little-to-no recollection of what Devil actually did; and (c) in the midst of some very impressive wreckage. Notice that this is ''exactly'' what he wakes up to after the Ogre's attack on his mother. This implies one very scary possibility. Namely, that Jun successfully drove off the Ogre, only to be obliterated by the newly-manifested Devil-Jin. Jin was essentially the weapon that slew his mother. [[It Got Worse|Even better]], since the Devil Gene doesn't take effect until its carrier first ''dies'', there's the possibility that this was preceded by the Ogre ''succeeding at killing Jin''. Of course, this means that Jin died twice as of the close of ''3''. Kazuya only revived from death #2 (the volcano) because of the G Corporation's agents--Devilagents—Devil wasn't able to restore him from that. So how did Jin revitalize from Heihachi's gunshot? Does the holy Kazama force have it's own one-time resurrection quality?

They both have a very similar power set: [[Teleporters and Transporters|teleportation]], [[Vampiric Draining|energy stealing]], [[Super Speed]], [[Barrier Warrior|attack deflection]] and [[Awesomeness By Analysis|replication of techniques]]. They're both aliens...duh. And somehow, Bosconovitch (thinks he) knows how to use Ogre's blood to revive his daughter. Note that Yoshimitsu can heal his opponent as well.

* Which, if correct, adds even more layers to her rivalry with Asuka (who bears the same holy power that Jun does/did). Although I'm not seeing Lili learning the truth without...[[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|breaking down]]

== Tekken is the future of both the [[Sim CitySimCity]] series and some fighting game series ==

Not this troper's personal opinion, given how wildly different her character is, but it should be noted that her medallion is identical to Julia's.

Tekken 2 and Duke Nukum 3D came out about the same time. Tekken Tag Tournament and Manhatten Project both came out the same time, the last time they were in a game. For the next nine years there's teases and suggestions of both returning. Then in 2010 there's the big news of [[Duke Nukem Forever (Video Game)|Duke Nukem Forever]] developments, so Jun appears in the movie. Then the game becomes official for this year. Just who should happen to be one of the characters in [[TTT 2]]? Jun. She said that hell would freeze over before she was in a game again. Well [[Cue the Flying Pigs]], Duke Nukum is back, and true to her word she makes her return as well.

Ok, so the videos have been leaked and thousands of fans are triumphantly proclaiming [[I Knew It!]]. [[Tropers/X 2 X|I'm]] not surprised either, given the circumstances, but I'm going to have to ask you all to hold your horses anyway. Compare {{spoiler|Unknown in ''Tag'' to [[Fan Nickname|Junknown]] in ''Tag 2''.}} If you look at the former, it's very clear that the [[What Could Have Been|intention of]] {{spoiler|Unknown being Jun's sister}} was the angle the dev team was going with before ''Tag'' became a non-canonical spinoff. {{spoiler|There are several discrepancies between the two, such as Unknown being two inches shorter than Jun, having tanner skin, a slightly different hairstyle (even before she was possessed by the wolf demon, [http://eng.tekkenpedia.com/wiki/images/3/38/Art21.jpg as indicated by artwork]), and [[Woman in Black|dressing in dark clothes]] (as opposed to Jun's preference for [[Woman in White|white]]). Unknown's [[Mama Bear]] [[Big Damn Heroes|moment]] in Ogre's ending can still work if it's an aunt protecting her nephew, considering that we know little about Jin's childhood besides him living with Jun.}} Now, look at the latter. Throughout ''Tag 2'''s promotion, {{spoiler|Jun has been hyped in the exact same way Kazuya was back in the original ''Tag''. If I'm not mistaken, more focus has been placed on Jun's return than the appearance of Young Heihachi or characters like Jinpachi and True Ogre coming back. It was fan intervention that helped bring back Kazuya in ''4'' after ''Tag'', and since Jun has this ''massive'' [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] thing going for her, it's possible that the same kind of publicity could work in Jun's favor. Thus, we have Junknown (who, unlike her original incarnation, looks ''exactly'' like Jun)}}. Keep in mind that {{spoiler|Jun's [[Word of God|official status]] in the series is simply [[He's Just Hiding|"missing"]], as opposed to the [[Killed Off for Real]] King I and Armor King I. Instead of trying of work in a plot point for a character who technically doesn't exist, Harada probably just went with the flow and confirmed what was most likely the most prolific [[Epileptic Trees]] in series history. After all, the man's been ''bombarded'' with messages asking for Jun to return to the series and Harada ''easily'' received the six thousand tweets for Jun's return here. Perhaps this was done in order to justify and lay down the groundwork for Jun should she come back for real in the next installment.}}

In some understandings of the Nephilim disaster as described in 1 Enoch and Jubilees, Azazel was one of the renegade Grigori (it may even be possible to equate him with Gadreel, depending on whether you think Azazel should be equated with the serpent of Eden, although that may easily be stretching on this troper's part). In addition, it seems to have been established that Azazel is the reason why the Mishima are afflicted with the Devil Gene. This parallels how 1 Enoch describes the Nephilim, as [[Half-Human Hybrid]] children of angels...and apparently [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]. (Note: Genesis uses "Gibborim" not as a particular class of beings, but just to signify how powerful the Nephilim were. Various mighty and heroic humans also get called "gibbor".) While any series worth its salt is going to include some sort of [[Shrouded in Myth]] element, there shouldn't be much doubt to how much the Mishima lived up to that element of nastiness post-Jinpachi. There is the question of how Seth...er...Azazel could have mated with humans, though. A case of [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]]?

Another element relating to Azazel in apocryphal lore is worth noting. According to the Sibylline Oracles, there are five angels who are tasked with bringing souls to God's judgement. ''Azazel's one of them.'' The others are Samael, Uriel, Ramiel, and Araqiel--theAraqiel—the last two being counted among the renegade Grigori. Meanwhile, if playing Julia in the last area of Scenario Campaign, her dialogues strongly imply that Azazel is the same kind of being as the Ogre. Looking at the qualities associated with Samael ([[Noble Demon|simultaneously good and evil]]) and Uriel (Mr. [[Playing Withwith Fire]], which isn't the Ogre's [[Mega Manning|main schtick in-story]]), and recognizing that Ramiel [[Defector From Decadence|may have been accepted back among the holy angels,]] elimination suggests that the Ogre is actually a ''heavily'' [[Shrouded in Myth]] Araqiel. So, with Araqiel and Azazel both out of the picture in this scenario, is there a chance that Ramiel will enter the equation, whether or not he wants to? (I'm looking at ''you'', Heihachi...)

** Jin's motivation in '''6''' is to create as much chaos as possible to summon Azazel. However, in here, Azazel is either inexistant/was [[Put Onon a Bus]]. Besides, the roster is still the same as '''6''', with the additions of Jinpachi, Ogre, Jun and Jaycee, plus a younger Heihachi (thanks to whatever Fountain of Youth magic he has).

** Considering the power-hungry natures of the Mishima clan, Heihachi must want to gain Unknown's power. Ergo, he sets the tournament to attract Jun (he knows she's Unknown for some reason) and decides to make it a team tournament so he can work with Jinpachi (and betray him) to gain her power.
