This anime series making Jin, Hwoarang, and Xiaoyu a trio of friends make a lot of sense to me. From what I could remember, Xiaoyu and Hwoarang never really spoke to each other in the game series even though they both worked to aid Jin at different stages in the story. I also liked the little creative changes the team made to strengthen the connection between Jin, Hwoarang, and Ling Xiaoyu. And with how much Jin got to learn about his father Kazuya Mishima and the mysterious Devil Gene, I need Tekken: Bloodline to come back for a second season ASAP! Jin has to face his father! The entire narrative’s been building toward such a confrontation. The writers did a good job of staying true to the source material to please fans. But then again, that’s to be expected considering that’s literally Jin’s original storyline from the decades-old game. Yes, Jin’s story did come across as quite tropey (lone wolf hero wanting to avenge a parent’s death while struggling with the darkness inside of him). Throughout the six-episode season, Jin (growing from a kid to a teen) continued to struggle to find a balance between the “good” from his mother’s side and the “bad” from his father’s side.
Jun taught Jin how to fight in the Kazama style as well as help him understand the importance of kindness. The series opened with a young Jin living with his mother Jun Kazama.
From what I could tell, the primary inspiration was the events that transpired in Tekken 3, with Ogre being the big bad and Heihachi Mishima wanting to harness the creature’s supernatural powers. I hope this series returns soon!īased on the long-running Tekken video game series, Tekken: Bloodline did a satisfactory job of presenting a story that packaged most of the game’s lore in a manner that felt accessible to new viewers as well as enjoyable to passionate fans. Jin goes to meet his grandfather Heihachi Mishima in Episode 1 (Image: Tekken Bloodline Season 1) Even though I wasn’t interested in an anime show focusing on Jin Kazama’s heritage (he’s not my favorite character), Tekken: Bloodline was still able to offer a very fun story in six episodes.
