Kuma is just there, having a well behaved dinner.

Was cool, the flashbacks of the 2 previous tekken games.

Once again, another decent episode. Glad to see the other fighters finally making their appearance (My main Nina!!!) It was a treat to hear Paul Phoenix being played by Jamieson Price again - the same VA as Sojiro from Persona 5 and who has played Paul in many of the games. Also Nina being played by Erika Harlatcher was a great match and sounds very much like Nina's main VA - Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.

However, this is were a few inconsistencies with the game start to show up. Namely, the addition of Leroy Smith (who was introduced in Tekken 7 as DLC) and the battle between Kazuya and Heihachi in the previous Iron Fist Tournament taking place at the volcano - which happens in Tekken 7, not Tekken 2 (Heihachi does throw an unconcious Kazuya into the volcano at the end of their fight though). I'll hold back from commenting about Nina's situation until I watch the remaining episodes but I'm wondering if they'll avoid including a certain aspect of her character from Tekken 3...

Regardless, it was nice to see all the call backs and Jin and Hwoarang's rivallry in action.

Did they just replace Eddie Gordo with Leroy Smith? I was wondering why Eddie was looking old just to find out that guy is from Tekken 7.
Cusco be looking good. I was there last month, and looks exactly the same as it's depicted.

Never played Tekken 7, and was left wondering who the new character was

Would've preferred if it just stuck to the characters from Tekken 3

oh snap Hwoarang talked! Dam Nina got some abs in this show. It was nice of them to show the final fights of the first two games and they looked pretty good. I do find it odd they replaced eddy for someone who was never in Tekken 3. Like what was the point. I mean eddy was fine.

Hm.. So Ogre might have fed on the energy of battle spirit?.. If that's so.. Then it'd explain, why it went after fighters.. Maybe that's was Ogre's goal?.. To eat?.. I mean, I totally can see paranormal being on eating energy, or something else, not necessary humanity's food..
Heihachi deciding the first opponent of Jin, hm..
Hm.. Well.. How Heihachi lost to Kazuya, but was able to return.. Even stronger.. Makes sense why he said to Jin to be motivated in the time he was helpless against Ogre.. Maybe Heihachi himself became stronger through his lose to Kazuya..
Ogre might be seeking to take power?.. Hm.. Another interesting theory..

having Leroy show up and giving Julia her streamer T7 outfit for a Tekken 3 based story is definitely a choice

same can be said about Marshall (not Forest) Law, Feng, Steve, and Marduk even though the latter two did debut after

Killing his own son, Heihachi is definitely hardcore, but that devil thing is interesting, but it's worrying for Jin himself and also how he's being used right now

Ok, now it's clear that this plot isn't set in the late 90's considering smartphones and internet. So many great characters has been shown in a row, but with the awareness of the possibility they're just cameos without spoken lines.

Yes! Boskonovitch is referenced ! Show him! Just hearing his name makes me want to pick up Tekken 3 again. Badass character. Gon would have been great too to bring back, but licensing problems are obvious (and wasn't even aware of his guest star status for that game until 2004, even found a manga volume of his own series later on).

The rest of the episode is expected exposition of the Mishima family feud well known by everybody that is into the franchise but whatever... There's hype for the second half.
