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.

Kazujun Week/Story DLC/Heihachi

I swear i admire my Apollo ability sometimes xD if Heihachi and the SDLC comes out in Late Septermber then it would be the second time Bandai Namco brings out a new canon right during Kazujun week LOL. If there's an expansion of Jun finding Kaz then...*insert Apollo meme here* i am not expecting much, but if they do add something then only an expansion of Jun finding Kazuya is my only guess, that's it. And only like a 10 second scene tbh, of Jun maybe putting her hand on Kazuya or something and Kaz opening his eyes, telling her "you were alive all along" yeah. I just want to hear Kazuya saying "Jun" to be honest, his voice is just… 😍😍 considering they are doing an expansion every season i expect the next ones to be focused mostly on Jun and Kaz, and Jin Reina and Heihachi.

Jun/Virgin Mary Parallel

so this came into my reels and can see now where the writers of Tekken got the idea of the Kazama sanctum and Jun falling asleep there.

https://www.instagram.com/dimitris_tours/reel/C-hwiNOIDSi/

According to some texts of the Orthodox Bible, Virgin Mary fell asleep and ascended to heaven.

However I think there's a slight misinformation here?, She didn't "pass away" her body and spirit where taken into heaven when her time came. Her body won't be found in the real world. it isn't there. xD 

I think her falling asleep and ascending into heaven is in both catholic and orthodox text, guess i'll have to research more. :0 and i am not sure if it's mount Zion or somewhere else, there's a lot of other passages all that say different things about her life after Jesus crucifixion and rising. but what we do know is that she ascended to heaven with angels where she became Queen of heaven, after falling asleep and living a full life.

don't take my word for word though, i myself am not that sure about this, although i am a Greek Orthodox Christian and learning about my religion.

Lee Birthday Headcanons!

I posted them on Tumblr so i thought i'd post them here as well!

When Lee was adopted by Heihachi, he would ask Heihachi to invite some friends over to celebrate but Heihachi would brush it off saying that he should be focused on his training instead.

He would make him fight Kazuya, Kazuya feeling some sort of pity, would give him a cupcake he made himself with the help of the kitchen staff.

He would be a bit tsundere about it but Kazuya meant it. Lee felt happy that his brother wasn't that much of an asshole. The two would then go and play in the garden until Heihachi caughts them and make them train again.

During his adult years, he would go out with ladies and party, he would ask Kazuya too to come and not be a party pooper but Kazuya would brush it off and tell him to buzz off basically. Telling him that those stuff are stupid.

When he was working with Kazuya in Tekken 1 and before 2, Lee decided to do something diferent, he asked Kazuya to go to the arcade and later to a bar and grill to celebrate, Kazuya to Lee's surprise accepted his offer and went with him. ( Lee thought it was because Kaz finally defeated Heihachi )

They went with Paul and Law there and ate burgers and drink beers

After Tekken 2, Lee would often go to Kazuya's "grave" ( i say grave because there was no body there ) and leave flowers there on his birthday and on Kaz's day, much like they both did to Kazumi's grave. Lee found Jun there once, but on Kazuya's birthday, she looked very sad and melacholic.

Lee, feeling sad and pity for her, asked her to buy her a hot choco from the coffee shop.

After Tekken 8, Lee, Paul, Law, Jin, Lars and Kazuya would go out together for drinks and burgers on Lee's day. and Jun and Anna would join them.

Lee also reconsiled with Anna after Tekken 8, and eventually started a relationship together.

OC Questions!

I had a Question sension on Tumblr about my OC's and i am posting them here as well!

Q1: is Mikoto a Papa's girl?

oh absolutely, she's also a big bro's girl.

Kazuya and Jin are actually very protective over their princess (*^▽^*)

Q2: do you have any Hwoarang children OC's?

i do!

One was a Hwoasuka/Hwoasu child named Asuma Kazama but i am not really using him right now x)

Another is the same as Asuma, but he's an adopted child of his and his student. I haven't named him yet. :3 he's the love interest of Mai Kazama, the daughter of Jin and Xiaoyu.

does anyone have any Korean boy name suggestions for him?

Q3: what is Ben and Victor parental relationship like? 

so here you go! when Ben was only just a baby, not even a year old, his parents were killed in one of Jin's air strike attacks during Tekken 6. Victor took him in and raised him as if he were his own son. Making sure he has a good future and telling him stories about his parents. Ben doesn't remember them, but he knows them through photos Victor has in his house and what others tell him about them, it's a warm feeling for Ben.

basically Victor is the Uncle Iroh to Ben.

Q4: haha so his Brother in Law killed his parents xD poor Jin has to be like that Zuko and Suki moment to him when he started dating Mikoto

Ben: so uhh you kinda killed my parents

Jin: oh sorry about that

Q5: how did Mikoto get her white tiger Shiro?

she got it as a present from her papa! when Kazuya himself along with some G-corp soldiers went to infiltrate the Tekken Monks camphound. He found animals there, their use were unknown but Shiro was young and only a cub. So he took with him knowing he would be safer somewhere else, with Jun and his daughter.

Other Stuff

Another thing that i should mention is that i also have an OC as Xiaoyu's older half Brother, however i didn't get a question for him xD I named him Huan Wang. Xiaoyu's mother had him prior to her marriage with Mr Ling and prior to Xiaoyu's birth, which is why he has the Surname Wang. I want to make him Lei's student and train after him in Hong Kong prior to Lei's retirement.

Jin Birthday Headcanons!

Here some Jin birthday Headcanons!

Before Ogre's attack and Jun's coma, Jun would dedicate this day only to Jin. She would take a day off work and take him to arcades to play his favorite video games, eat his favorite food together in the arcade restoraunt, or anywhere he likes to eat, buy him anything he wants ( as long as it was on budget of course ) and blow the candles on the cake together.

Jin didn't have any friends in Yakushima, so Jin didn't have huge parties or any of that sort. It was only him and his mother celebrating that day.

When Jin was taken by Heihachi, his 16th birthday was the first time he had a group celebration. Heihachi allowed to invite him some friends over so Jin invited Hwoarang, Xiaoyu, Panda and Miharu to celebrate his birthday. It was the first time Jin didn't feel lonely since his mother's "passing" a year ago.

It also the first time he had presents from friends. He was in tears when he opened them after the cake celebration with them.

Party Celebrations for Jin became more happier after that for his high school years, until the third and fourth tournament.

In Tekken 6, Jin was alone on his 21th birthday. He spended them on his office. But however, to his surprise, Nina and Eddy gave him a cupcake with a candle to celebrate his day when they came to his office knowing that was his day. Jin scoffed them.

After Tekken 8, Hwoarang, Xiaoyu and Steve take Jin for a celebration in a Bar and Grill to eat burgers and beer. And also eat cake and blow the candles on his birthday cake!.

Jun also conviced Kazuya to give him a present for that day, despite his cockiness he bought him a sneaker from his favorite athletic shop, it was Kazuya's first present to Jin and Jin was appaled he gave him a present. He accepted it though much to his dismay.

when Mikoto was born she would give Jin plushies, or game merch she asked her mother and father to buy for her to give to him.

Jin sometimes would make a group hangout with friends and Asuka and Lili on his birthday and he would invite Mikoto and his parents there too to celebrate on his house in Yakushima once he settled down.

He would train with his parents and sister on that day.

Hachijo Clan headcanon

Kazumi's sisters were named Yoruka and Tsukiyo Hachijo. Sadly, after Heihachi killed Kazumi, he killed them, their husbands and their children along with the whole Hachijo family.

Yoruka and Tsukiyo were twins and 30 year old when their clan's massacre happened, they were only 2 years older than Kazumi.
