Christmas Headcanon

Question from Tumblr!

Q: how would the Mishima fam spend christmas post Tekken 8 and in the past when Kazumi was alive?

ohh headcanon time!

So after Tekken 8 and of course, after Heihachi is defeated. Hopefully in Tekken 9. Kazuya on Christmas eve would take Jun and Mikoto out on a fancy restaurant somewhere in Tokyo for lunch and hot chocolate and snow fun. Much to Kazuya's annoyance, Jin would come and join them as well!. The four would later then join Lee and Anna at their house after their outing. They would have a nice time there with them and Lars and Alisa too. Lee would spoil Mikoto a lot and buy her anything she wants and give her lots of money!. Mikoto loved how Lee's residence was decorated for christmas, the Mishima residence was decorated full of elegance too but the Chaolan residence was marvelous~

Mikoto and the Mishima family would stay at the Chaolan residence for the night where Santa would bring them their presents! Mikoto would wake up first and open hers. She always got excited for her presents and loved everything she got!. 

Later Hwoarang and Xiaoyu would join them and of course, Victor with his nephew Ben, bringing some fresh wine for the adults. Claudio and Zafina would come as well with some presents. Lidia would at some point join somewhat late because of her job, she would bring some delicates and cakes for christmas. Asuka would be invited by Jun and Lee, and of course Lili would be dragged too. They would both come and Lili would bring the most expensive presents and deserts ever.

Reina wouldn't go to Chaolan residence, as my headcanon is that she lives in california and studies in LA but she would video call them and wish them a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. She would hang out with her classmates that day and have an outing with them at her own appartment. She also has a cat and a dog! a Shiba and a white Turkish Angora cat. She named the boy doggo Ryu and the girl cat serafina. She dresses them up for the whole holidays and posts pictures of them online on her instagram as well as her facebook.

After she finishes her studies, i either have the headcanon she would stay in the US or go back to Japan. I haven't decided, which do you think would work? i hope you liked my headcanons!.

After Christmas was over, Mikoto, Kazuya and Jun would go home where Mikoto would run into the christmas tree and open the presents Santa brought her here.

In the past the Mishima family, Heihachi, would keep Christmas time a bit low but special. Kazuya would train with Jinpachi and drink tea while warming up at his house. Later he would go home where Kazumi would welcome him with a dinner. When he would wake up for Christmas, Jinpachi, Kazumi and Heihachi would take him to a near by restaurant to eat for the special day. He would open up his presents before!, and he would always get something special he would ask his mother that year. After his mother and Jinpachi died and Lee joined the family, Christmas became a painful time for Kazuya as he would remember the wonderful time he spend with his beloved mother and grandfather.

Tekken 8

 "Tekken 8 sucks"

*sigh* it only just recently came out, give it time. We are only in season one currently, season 2 hasn't even come out yet. There's a lot they need to flash out on. People said it about Tekken 7 too and turned out pretty okay and it was an arcade game first, this one is not. And remember, we are only in the beginning of the circle of this game. I am repeating that yes so you guys understand this and keep it in mind. 

There are gonna be a lot of changes and new stuff throughout the years of this game and we should consider ourselves lucky the devs actually listen to everyone's criticim and try to fix things, other games do not have that.

Once a few years pass, trust me, you guys will love this game and consider it one of the best games in the franchise.

Tumblr Q&A

I am posting Questions and Answers from Tumblr here that i answered, my Tumblr is private unless you have an account there so my post wouldn't be visible for those who do not.

So let's begin!

Q1: 

I feel like Jin arc should be about reuniting with Jun and Working with Kazuya to defeat Heihachi and knowing Kazuya as a man?

Maybe Kazuya could finally be the one to end the generational trauma that Heihachi put though the whole family and become the new paternal figure like Jinpachi. 

It could be nice to see Kazuya and Jin bond as Father and Son

A1:

Yeah! i believe that will be the end goal of Kazuya and Jin's character arcs.

Tekken 8, well, at least the story mode, concluded Jin's arc. So i don't think there's much of it left to be honest with you. Maybe we'll see him helping rebuilding the world and travelling with his team, teaching the Kazama way and his mother's teachings, and of course fixing the mistakes he made and make up for the misfortune he caused to people because of his war.

For Kazuya YES i agree with you on that. That would be nice to see. Maybe in Tekken 8 we see the build up for it and in Tekken 9 we see Kazuya's redemption arc and Heihachi and Reina Vs Kazuya, Jun and Jin. Honestly i think Kazuya's arc will be restoring the Mishima clan to it's former glory and redeeming it. He's the only legal Mishima right now. And honestly the only person who can honor Jinpachi as well as the monks as Jinpachi taught him. It would be the biggest fuck you to Heihachi if he restored the Mishima clan with Jun by his side and made their own legacy with better foundations than the old Mishima clan.

Q2:

Does Mikoto have any rivals?

A2:

Ohh! rivals? hmm i am not sure...i guess Ben is considered a rival since they trained together since kids?, as well as love interest i suppose!.

I need to create more ocs huh? but i dunno who, maybe in the future i'll expand on this! for now i have so many things i need to do because of my new job, so please be patient and look forward to this because i am certainly planning things for Mikoto.

Q3:

Any headcanons for Jin?

A3:

Ohh i think i have some

I don't see him being a picky eater, since he'd eat a lot of Jun's food, he has a strong immune system and is comfortable with any taste.

He likes Games but he doesn't consider himself too much of gamer, when he was in high school he would play fighting games or popular games with Xiaoyu and Hwoarang.

In Yakushima his room was decorated with posters of his favorite games and movies. After they were destroyed in Ogre's attack Heihachi took him to a shop to buy merch of his favorite franchises, and decorate his new room in order to make him look good Jin and to the public.

I think this is pretty much canon, but he is not good with girls or romance in general, he gets embarrased with those stuff.

His favorite season is Summer, not because of his birthday but because back in Yakushima he and Jun would spend tons of time together at the beaches of Yakushima.

What do you think? nice eh?. :D

Q4: 

Who do you think Vegeta Jr is descendent from?

A4:

I just hope Vegeta Jr is descendented from Bulla's side xD I think her descendant taking after her daddy would be too cute.

And to be honest with you anon, i don't really like Mai x Trunks pairing, at least after thinking about it. It makes me feel a bit uhh uncomfortable? considering their age gap. And personally, i believe Trunks deserves better.

Jun Kazama Birthday Headcanons!

Jun birthday headcanons!

As a child, Jun would celebrate her birthday with her parents Junichi and Megumi in Yakushima. Throwing a small celebration at the Kazama estate.

Jun didn't have a lot of friends as a child so it was only her and her parents, with a presence of some animals. They would throw the celebration outside as Jun loved the outdoors of Yakushima.

Once her parents died and moved to Tokyo to work after her University, she made some work buddies in WWWC. They would throw her a party at work and they would go out together somewhere to eat to celebrate her day.

It was shortly after Jun's parents death so Jun was still quite sad about her loss, but still appriciate what her CO-workers did for her.

She was the youngest of the group.

After she met Kazuya and had Jin, her birthdays were quite lonely again without Kaz, but Jin would made her special day worth it.

He would wake her up in the morning and make her breakfast, then they would go out together to spend the day and do their favorite activities in Yakushima, just the two of them.

She would get messages from her former competitors in the Iron Fist tournament and they would talk together, wishing her a happy birthday on her special day!.

She would visit Kazuya's "grave" on that day and talk to him about his son, hoping that he would listen.

After Tekken 8, Kazuya would SPOIL his wife a lot, he would take her out on dates, buy her something fancy etc, Jun doesn't say no because she knows Kazuya's trying.

She would wake up in the morning of her birthday and find a special made breakfast made by Kazuya and Mikoto at the New Mishima Estate's eating room.

Jun would sparkle from happiness and hug her daughter and Kaz and they would eat together before meeting Jin.

Jin would later meet them and hoo boy would he and Kaz bicker with each other much to Jun and Miko's annoyance.

Jun would tell them that's enough and they would listen to her

Lee would join them with Anna and Lars as well.

Tea time after training with Kaz, Asuka, Asuka's father, Lee, Anna, Mikoto, Xiaoyu, and Jin. And thats when she would open all her presents she got.

She then and Kaz would go to bed together and cuddle, talking about anything really and being comfortable in each others embrace.

Playstation 6 and Tekken 9 release?

I saw this article and i wanted to write something!

https://www.techopedia.com/news/ps6-release-date

"PlayStation tends to release consoles every six to seven years, which has historically been the case in the jump with the PS1 to PS2 (1994 to 2000), the PS2 to PS3 (2000 to 2006), the PS3 to PS4 (2006 to 2013), and the PS4 to PS5 (2013 to 2020). Should Sony follow this release strategy, then the PS6 could debut in either late 2027 or early 2028."

so i see, considering this then i can speculate when will Tekken 9 be released, doing the math and what Harada said about Tekken 9 release immediently after PS6 release in a Harada's Bar interview with Lenne then a 2030-31 release is likely happening for Tekken 9. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNXYrHuu61E here's the interview

giving Tekken 8 around a 7 year circle. Like they gave Tekken 7 from when it came out. I would understand Bandai Namco if i end up being right on this, they made a huge mistake by releasing Tekken Tag 2 on the very last stages of PS3. They don't want to do that mistake again as it costs them and Tekken a lot.

Tekken 8 and 2024 speculations

so ONLY a week left until the Dubai event! 

here's my predictions for the Autumn and 2024 Tekken Updates. 

I must say these are my OWN predictions and speculations and in no way may happen. Just so we are clear. anyway let's begin!

There's a Tekken Event that will begin next weekend. Considering the pattern of the releases of the trailers and such. There's a high chance an announcement will be made. My own assumption? Heihachi's and another trailer for the story dlc will be shown there with a release date probably.

continueing on, on September there's also the Tokyo Game Show happening! for this one, i believe the final character of season 1 will be announced there with a tease being shown. now around that time, there's netfix's event where they announce new series, new seasons and more upcoming stuff. Considering Tekken 8's popularity right now, there might be a chance Tekken Bloodline will be renewed for a second season adapting Tekken 4. 

(Again, please don't take my word for word, i am a human and i could be wrong!.)

Three months later In December, there's the Game Awards. And i believe that's when they'll announce the big stuff. I think a trailer for Season 2 will be shown there, and more stuff for Tekken, Movies perhaps, Novels, Manga etc. Personally i'd love to see a canon movie this time taken place after Tekken 8.

and that's all i have to say! like i said before in this, these are only speculation of mine, they may or may not happen, i only wrote this for fun.

Jun

"why does Jun look so young!, Bandai Namco hates old women!!!"

*sigh* haven't you guys thought that MAYBE it's because her magical coma prevented her from aging during that time? that she's still 37-38? the age she was when she fought Ogre? Like i get your reason to be upset, but have you thought that they probably have their reasons why this happened?. And Harada himself SAID that he will add a fighting grandma at some point, so what's the problem here? it's not like they don't like fighters of all ages, countries and genders, they just haven't added them yet.

Not this arguement again i beg you guys, listen i research professional stuff and know how this works. It's a lot of proccess to create a fighting game character and an even more to create the moveset etc. They don't hate diversity in fact tekken as a franchise is pretty diverse and respectful to the cultures of the characters, look at how they created Shaheen, so that's not a problem here nor a reason to call names and argue. There's a possible reason why Jun looks like that and i am sure we'll find out soon.

And fwi their main demographic is TEENS! so it's understandable from a professional standpoint why they would add young characters preferably. Although i am SURE the actual audience is full of adults, the ones who play professionally that is. I know that most of the common audience are teens from age 12-17. But trust me, i started Tekken when i was like 9 on a Summer Vacation so that may vary.
