Also Jack, Jack 2, Gun Jack, P.Jack were destroyed. And Jack 5, Jack 6, Jack 7 are obsolete models, and they are"victims" of replacing cycle. Dunno about Ogre/True Ogre, but i suspect he is dead too. Return of Michelle Chang is hardly doubtful also - they can bring back new young Kunimitsu but bringing back someone like Michelle Chang Jr. when we have Julia will be ridiculous 😂
Such a fucking underrated comment. I was never into the Tekken online scene like I was with other fighters but I played the story for Tekken up to T6. I believe story wise the last good Tekken game was Tekken 3. Still never found out why yoshimitsu needed a new body. Or what happened to Gon..... Nor why the doctor no longer fights.....😐🥴
Wang and baek's deaths aren't canon though, they're just what if endings. Like the entire t6 campaign story makes those 2 endings non existent cause they never interact with Azazael in it.
Well, I don't see either of them coming back in a canon game. Especially Wang. I mean the dude's over 100 years, how many human characters or even people do you know that live for so long?
@@durandlewis1382 You talking about age fiction in a game with yoshimitsu who's age is unknwon, talking bears/pandas and devils? Like don't get me wrong I LOVE tekken, but thats a poor excuse.
Something tells me Heihachi is fine. They throw each other into a volcano on rotation at least once a week. Should be Jin's turn this Friday, actually. Edit: There are two types of responses to the reply thread here. Those that understood that I was making a joke, and how no one really stays dead in fighting games. And those who are being smart asses.
Heihachi died from the final punch. His heart stopped. Being thrown into the volcano was just extra, and I guess Kazuya making sure his body couldn't be sampled. Kazuya died when thrown into the volcano. However due to the Devil Gene, enough of him remained intact for G Corp to use and revive him. Heihachi, unfortunately for his fans, possesses no such gene. Also keep in mind that Heihachi was severely weakened due to Akuma using the Shun Goku Satsu on him, which was the very reason why Kazuya could kill him in the first place.
@@MK-vi2cm It's always siblings that come in triplets and quadruplets that _surprisingly_ get us amongst this type of storyline. How do these writers know to _shock_ us with such a plot twist? The best thing about these plot twists, is that all these doppelgangers have the same name. Like how George Foreman named his kids. #ShouldaKnown
But those characters that "died" after battle Azazel are not dead at all. The one who fought against Azazel was Jin/Devil Jin, hence the reason why Zafina absorbed what remained of Azazel's power after she got the orb, as shown in Devil Jin's ending. Her presence in Tekken 7 and her new powers are proof of that.
It was powerful seeing Heihachi shed a tear after killing Kazumi. The moment when he lost his humanity. Sure he’s shown to soft to a very select few. But his ability to truly love died with her
kazumi was an idiot. youd think she'd kill heihachi in his sleep but she announced her intent while heihachi was most likely just about to start training.
I think that was poorly done. She's supposed to be this threatening super powerful demon final boss yet... she can't get out of his one handed grip? Just from normal goofy looking young heihachi? She sent him flying at the start, I guess the logic is that she got weakened during the fight... still could have been done better though.
@@wasabi5338she was planning to kill him in his sleep when they're super old and had great grandchildren already. Devil Gene madness just ruined that plan
Wang was in T7 Just non playable. During the Mishima saga mode. The reporter goes to see an "old man" who tells him about the devil. If you listen to the voice carefully and the way he sings the poem you will clock it is Wang Jinrei.
If you think about it, Heihachi was portrayed as an antagonist, seeking to regain control of the Mishima Zaibatsu and eliminate his son Kazuya and his grandson, Jin Kazama. However as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Heihachi’s actions were driven in part that his grief and guilt over their devil consumed wife and son.
Nah, it’s a ret-con. In Tekken 3, and 4 he wanted the Devil Gene for himself. Kazuya being more evil than Heihachi has been a thing since Tekken 2, but he’s always been evil till all of a sudden he wasn’t in 7.
W0LF B3AT5 Heihachi was always a villain, but Harada did retcon the plot in Tekken 7 to make him look like a martyr only because he is his favorite character.
Actually Baek Doo San and Wang Jinrei never got killed by Azazel It is not canon so they will come back They never encountered Azazel in Scenario Campaign Only Jin Kazama encountered him
Well, hopefully they died at some point during the events of Tekken 7. Two characters we don't need back and wont be missed. They need to get rid of Bob and Miguel too while they're at it.
@@Burning_Typhoon no They did not their endings is not canon only Heihachi Mishima Kazumi Mishima Jinpachi Mishima and Ogre are dead not Baek Doo San and Wang Jinrei
Lars Alexanderson did as well. Though neither he nor Jin died as a result of the fight so you're still in the clear for being correct. (I just like making sure ya boi gets his recognition)
It really pisses me off seeing how people think Wang and Baek are dead. Any T6 Arcade endings with post-defeat of Azazel aren't canon. The only Azazel ending that is canon is Devil Jin's. How do we know this? Well after Devil Jin picked up the orb (Azazel's Heart) it reverted him back to Jin, and who was there after that? Zafina, she was the one who took Azazel's orb. That's why she has it in Tekken 7. That's just one example of an arcade ending being canon. Unless explicitly stated or said otherwise by Harada or Michael Murray...then Baek and Wang aren't dead or alive, but *missing* . Also to the people who said Jun died, she also went missing. It's not a retcon.
Every ending that have to do with Azazel and the temple are arcade endings which are non canon. Jin never turned devil in the campaign which is canon to Tekken 6. Devil Jin is more of a side character that's connected to Jin.
Only person ogre canonically killed was King 1. They mentioned kuni, wang, Baek, Bruce, Lee, Jun, etc. It was never confirmed besides King fans are the one who stated ogre killed those name I listed for them to reappear in a later title.
Kuma 1 died of old age, jack is an emotion aI but the models are usually destroyed after the new model is successful and Jane put jack 2 into the test model. Jack 2 killed prototype jack, the Tekken force killed gun jack, heihachi killed kazuya even though kazuya was only dead for a few days I still count it, I assume ogre was killed by jin, jinpachi was killed by heihachi, then killed by jin, Eddie wasn't able to raise money for his master's surgery in time and he died from illness, I assume Bryan killed Dr Abel in his Tekken 4 ending because he is never again, and jin killed Azazel.
I personally think that even though Wang was playable in Tekken 6, he actually died in Tekken 5 because his story mode especially the scenes with Jinpachi made so much sense it almost felt canon.
Anyone think it’s amazing how Wang was 100 years old and still maintained his strength to fight? Some people live to 100 but can’t maintain that kind of strength. Old age sucks
Baek and Wang are not dead. Kuma is at least the second Kuma, as the first one died. Yoshimitsu is at least the second but probably more like 4th or 5th, as that is a title of someone in their clan, and they kill them when they get too old to fight. It's part of the reason he looks so different in every game.
"when they get too old to fight." So how does that work considering each game takes place between a few years. For there to be a different yoshimitsu each game, they would have to take the title when they are already old. Its clear that 2-5 are the same yoshi considering their relationship with the doctor so its safe to assume its the same yoshi in every game.
"They get too old to fight, and they kill them" Bro...🤦🏻 Stop making things up. No where in the official Tekken storyline does it say this. Not even Harada himself has said this.
@@fantasprite612 why are you trying so hard to argue this? You're wrong. Read the character bio in Tekken 7 or Tekken Tag 2. Heck, just Google it right now.
They killed off some dope legendary characters, I remember using Wang and Baek alot back in the day, I didn't even know those characters were missing, due to the fact that I haven't played Tekken in awhile
Everyone's already pointed out the exclusion of Kuma, and that Baek and Wang aren't dead, but you also missed Kunimitsu I. She died sometime between 2 and 7, with the Kunimitsu in 7 being her daughter.
I would like Heihachi being avaiable in Tekken 8. I don't mind if is dead. An strange revival or a memory of Kazuya. Being in every game, It Will be too sad not being in T8
Maybe they'll be another Mishima with his name in the next game. A sort of Heihachi Jr. maybe. It doesn't had to be the original Heihachi but it could be a younger nephew or a relative carrying his name in honor of him. Hey if there could be a lot of Kuma, King, Armor King, and Yoshimitsu then there should be another Heihachi as well.
@@VOANThough we got Reina as a Heihachi's Next Gen-Person. Since she's exactly a Secret Daughter to a Mishima Family (If you look at the Post Credits on T8, She just said that Heihachi was her Father)
I thought that Armor King 1 died of a heart condition; it just happened that it got fatally triggered when he fought Marduk in the bar fight before Tekken 4.
@@Mitsu2040 Wasnt Armor King and King rivals? The second King, setted Marduk up into killing the AK 1, and he is actually a kid from the orphanage the first King took care. If i recall correctly they all get along in the end.
@@JoaoGabriel-vm8my I guess they were rivals, but when King 1 lost his money and became a drunk, it was AK 1 that motivated him to get back into it (T2). Then after Oger killed King 1, AK1 trained the current King (T3). Then Marduk killed AK1 and King 2 wanted revenge but spared him (T4). Then, for reasons I cannot fathom, King2 and Marduk became besties 😶
@@Mitsu2040 yeah, its been a while since i played it, and i dont really remember where they all became friends, but one thing i remember is that AK 1 actually died after the fight with Marduk not during it, thats why he was called out to be inocent
Wang and Baek aren't dead. Their Tekken 6 showcased a what if situation. Both never made it this far. Jin was the one and only to defeat Azazel. Many characters never met. Also Ganryu never turned into his Devil form. So Baek and Wang are alive.
Wang and Baek's death isn't canon. The Scenario Campaign with Lars and Alisa is the ONLY canon story, any Arcade story within that mode is non-canon. The only ones officially dead is King I, Armor King I, Kuma I (Kuma Jr is the one we know now since Tekken 3), Jinpachi (technically he's dead but somehow he got resurrected by a Devil power unrelated to the Devil Gene) and most recent Heihachi. FYI, Kazumi was never existed in Tekken 7, she was already dead years prior to Tekken 1 in the storyline and was introduced in Tekken 7 to fill in the origins of Devil Gene.
Saying "Kazumi never existed" is just really unnecessary dude, the video says she appeared in Tekken 7 because that's the game she debuted as a character, same as to why the video mentions the characters appearing on the tag games despite these ones being not canon
I feel like a resurrected Kazumi should've been in Akuma's spot in Tekken 7. I mean, why make her the Arcade mode end boss if she's not even treated like a boss in the story?
Apparentlly, Harada stated Wang is dead, so uh... Regardless of whether the fight is canon or not, if this information is at all correct, Wang is gone. Baek probably still alive though
Agree, the fact devil possed jipanchi probably one of reason heihachi goes full force to need deal with those Gene. Look how kazuya and jin become after succumb to devil gene, one become top terrorist, other bring world war, the step children of heihachi probably know the truth. Bet jin learn grandpa intention after heihachi gone and next world war bring by kazuya instead Heck the fast kazuya survive freaking laser beam just show shooting bullet on head just not work.
@@siegfriedc2332 because Heihachi killed her? I do agree that it's weird to use Akuma just randomly. Atleast use Reptile from Mortal Kombat, since he's the first secret character in any fighting game
Looking at T7 makes you think, “If Kazumi never attacked Heihachi, would her vision still be true?” Only time Heihachi went down the path of world domination was when his own family, Kazumi, went crazy and tried to kill him, making Heihachi question his own son in the process. Idk what happened to the relationship of Heihachi and Jinpachi tho. I like to think Heihachi instantly had the same suspicions when Jinpachi was acting funny too but that was because Jinpachi was turning to an old fart. He started having amnesia or lost of memory due to old age or something like that, and Jinpachi attacks Heihachi, thinking he’s an intruder in his home. It’s far fetched, yeah, but it would be a funny reason why Jinpachi suffered his fate at the hands of his son, being an old guy who forgets sometimes lol
@@moizali4698 she didn't afaik. You were just fighting a past version of her. Basically a "she was in the story be kinda lame if we don't let you play as her" type of deal.
She died a long time ago before Tekken 3, look at what her appearance in Tekken 8, she's almost like an angel that redeeming souls, in short term she's a ghost. If she's still alive she would look like Asuka who have no powers like redeeming souls or the power of light, but exactly like her in Tekken 2 were she still alive. But I think you mean her soul isn't dead?
@@user-oq7gl6vi3e missing for a long time? I think Jun is just like Jinpachi who get resurrected and had an immensed power, if Jun was still alive she might look like Asuka or her past self in Tekken 2 who had no powers at all only pure martial art. And I also think that the reason why Jun get resurrected is because of Jin to avoid him to become a pure devil like Kazuya. Welp.... that is just my theory, I mean look at Jun, she looks like an angel who came from heaven and have an angelic power that itself a proof that she's already dead a long time ago.
There is just something that's so pure and innocent seeing king on tekken 1 with pixel graphics walking off to the snow .... I can't explain how inner peace it gives
Master Wang Jinrei represented one of the most ancient and profound martial arts ever, Xingyi Quan/Xinyi Liuhe, and in my perspective, his absence has degraded the overall authenticity of the vibe to some extent.
Or he is, unbeknownst to himself, a holder of the devil gene as well. Perhaps Kazuyas last strike awakened it. Just imagine: Tekken 8 final boss: Devil Heihachi.
Harada said Wang may have died. There is a cha ce that he has died due to natural causes but he wasn't killed by Azazel as that was non canon. Beak is also a what if case. Though like Wang he may have died a natural death or just retired
Wang and beak aren’t dead… doesn’t matter how old they are, the tekken lore it’s self is ridiculous and unrealistic so Logic doesn’t even matter at this point
"doesn't matter how old they are" Smh, Baek is barely 50 which isn't even that old. Tekken fans really like to paint Baek as an old fart, my guy is pretty young. Although, I always imagined that Jinrei and Baek both retired. Jinrei is probably just babysitting his grandkids and teaching them his style, while Baek is just starting a happy family
King 1, Armor King, Kasumi & Heihachi(old?) Funny thing is with Jun back Ogre only killed 1 character!? He was once thought to have killed a bunch of the og characters, now it turns out his only body was King 1 😒
Considering the fact Heihachi got killed by Kazuya seems kinda weird they been throwing each other off cliffs for years and Heihachi somehow dead, that doesn't seem too easy 🤨⛩️.
Call it poetic payback. Father tossed Son off cliff the son tossed dad right back at him. Father comes back beats his son ups the ante by dropping him on an active volcano. Several unsuccessful backstabbings later the prodigal son returns the favor once more.
@@BaconBoyYT Yeah quite like Kazuya did a devasting final attack punch on the Heihachi and threw his body on a volcano to make really sure his father was taken down for good, but who knows his father maybe still alive after that fight🌋🌋?
I really don't understand why the community believe this, I really don't, but Baek and Wang never fought against Azazel, and obviously, never died against Azazel. Does endings are *not Canon* Azazel only died against Jin in the campaign mode in Tekken 6. Where this disinformation even coming from?
@@seiryu265 Yeah I know what the word canon means, thanks. I also know it's an almost meaningless concept when it comes to fighting games. Remember when Heihachi had a "canon" death in Tekken 2 when Kazuya dropped him off a cliff? What about his "canon" death in Tekken 5 when a squad of Jack's bombed him into oblivion? Didn't seem to bother him much when he came back swinging for literally every subsequent game. Hell, I can think of three characters off the top of my head across various other games who've all had a "canon" death only for a long lost sibling or some other nonsense to take their place, rendering it pointless. The story for games like Tekken is flimsy garbage. You'd be a fool to listen to anything it tells you.
@@EsteemedReptile are you serious? The whole point of the scenario campaign in t6 was to be the canon story introducing lars/alisa. Wang & baek never encountered azazael in that campaign....at all, so those endings are what ifs. Idk how people just fully ignore tha campaign when that was the actuall storytelling narrative for t6.
What makes me think Hachi is coming back is that Lee and Lars both say he is "missing" in the demo. They watched the fight with the spy satellite they know full well he got thrown into the volcano
Welp guess not lmfao maybe when they elaborate on reinas story we will get a flashback or something and he'll at least be playable I can only wish at this point.
I hope Tekken 8 will have character customization like Tekken 6 or even BETTER cause in Tekken 6 character customization was sick and it was better than Tekken 7's. I hope we get Heihachi In Tekken 8 as a DLC I also hope for DLC Eliza, Kunimitsu,Geese,Ganryu,Kazumi,Devil Kazumi maybe a Baek DLC
It would be nice if the list was canon. Impossible for Baek and Wang to have been killed by azazel, because it was Jin who fought against it canonically. The other characters are with status "unknown" not "deceased". They'll appear again.
If Wang and Baek's endings are canon then that means they were the ones who defeated Azazel. We already know that isn't the case though, because Jin was the one who "defeated" Azazel in the end, so as far as the canon story goes Wang and Baek are still alive.
Wang & Baek are not dead most arcade endings are not true at all mostly what if's like Mortal Kombat endings. Thats why Tekken 6 has something called a story mode of what really happened.
Some of these dead characters might return in Tekken 8 like Heihachi and armor King 1 also their might be guest characters appearing in the 8t game in the franchise🎮🎮.
Wait but don't you forget kuma? They were not the same characters;that's because the first one died of old age after tekken2. From tekken 3 the character we can choose as kuma is no less than Kuma's son
He will come back for sure in Tekken Tag 3. I can see him as DLC in Tekken 8 and he will definitely will come back in Tekken 9. Maybe in 10 at the latest.
Hwoarang had a lot moves before 7, now with Baek missing they put more moves in him.... we need Baek back he is different,faster and unique from Hwo ;)
uhh... Kazumi? :V Sure, this list is not chronological from the story perspective, but game release perspective. And even then, Kazuya died in T2, and Kings died before T3 and T4. Sure, it was revealed that Kazuya is resurrected, but from the perspective of T3 he was the first dead character.
I'm pretty sure Dr Bosco isn't dead. I honestly don't even remember anything mentioning Bryan attacking Doctor directly. Manji Clan members: yes, even Lei Wulong had a scene where he's trying to arrest Bryan Fury for attacking the Manji Clan members, but no mention of the Doctor
Doctor Bosconovitch wasn't killed, Bryan Fury just attacked him and destroyed his laboratory. He even developed the android Alisa Bosconovitch to protect Jin Kazama once he took over the Mishima Zaibatsu.
The 1st Kuma had died of an old age, Gun Jack has been destroyed & rebuilded as Jack-5 & Jinpachi Mishima has been killed by his great-grandson Jin Kazama.
Kinda annoying that just both Kings and two Mishimas are dead. I don't believe Wang and Baeks' deaths because the Canon ending is Azazel is defeated by Zafina I could understand Wang dying of age but Beak should be brought back if he's not confirmed dead.
It's wild they brought jun back to tekken 8, she supposedly died between tekken 2 & 3 . I can't wait to find out what's going on with that. (She was in tag tournament but thats not cannon)
Some of this are non-canon so I couldn't say if this are all true. Bryan Fury would be dead by now if we will consider all of the endings are canon since Yoshimitsu killed him in TK5. At least there is a continuation like on the story like a dialogue/mention from the characters about their dead on the next installment.
