This means the absolute world to me. When I was a kid I started off with Tekken 2 and Jun made quite the impression on me. So glad she's back and part of the actual storyline again.
Damn man my father would've been so happy to see Jun back in Tekken after all these years... I loved playing T2 with my father as a kid but imma enjoy this one in his honor! Rest up Pops (I will enjoy this game with you in spirit). Tekken 8 about to be lit! 😢😊
I love how Jun has the attacks using rays of light but also dark shadow crows/ravens - it feels like they were hinting at her relationship with Unknown! So hyped!
@@AccountWasHacked Jun transformed into unknown in TT1 story boss. nobody knew why. everybody just assumed she had some sort of devilish or gained a dark relationship with something just before she died
The disbelief Kazuya has with Jun is a really good touch. The only person that truly loved him is right in front of him and wants to save him and their son. Notice how History is repeating itself but reversed.
I think they just confirmed the ending indirectly, she is gonna stop the father and son cycle and save her family. She is gonna purge the Devil gene and somehow that will be the final boss. This is it folks the end of Tekken. Its reboot time after this!
She is wonderful. She is pure. She is sincere. I am so glad that you are in this game, Jun. Thank you Namco Bandai and thanks to the the fans asking for her. People used to tell us "pfft, you'll never get Jun, it's over, only in spin off game". Then Tekken 8 happened. I have a lot of gratitude right now.
There is no doubt or question that this is the case, did you ever watch the Tekken anime from 98? After all the abuse Kazuya suffered at the hands of Heihachi, Jun is the only person who showed him love and compassion. Jun is back to heal the rift, at the very least make an attempt, because she doesn’t wanna see the two most important people that are a part of her world, get torn apart to the point of the end of the world by the devil gene.
@@Asi-Lives46 he turned his son and his grandson into people with BPD With narcissistic tendencies (essentially). The funny thing is, is that Jun is the centre for both. The devil gene got triggered due to Heihachi’s lust for power & no love or compassion for his son & Grandson. I appreciate the fact that you called my comment, wholesome, I’m a big fan of the original three games, four and five was kind of where I dropped off, I did play a Little of Tekken tag 2 (even though it’s a spinoff and its original title). Tekken six, I played extremely casually and seven, even more so than that, I’ve barely touched, haven’t even completed the story. Weirdly, though, I am looking forward to eight I’m just wondering if Sony might make a deal and do some exclusive content again for the PlayStation platform akin to the seventh game (not that I want locked content exclusive to one platform mind). In this case, I kind of get it at the same time, because Tekken for the longest time was associated with the PlayStation platform.
@@Eva_H Same although my first game was Tekken 5, I was immediately hooked and got into the series. And Azazel is a total bitch with his crystal and teleporting spam.
@@zaberfang Tekken tag isn't canon. This is the first CANON game she's been back in since 98, and it means a lot to those of us that have waited this long to see her grand return.
Yeah this is truly a great feeling to know she's back, and not dead, it's all CANON and she's playable again. It's been too many years so I appreciate this.
now that she’s suddenly back, i noticed how jin’s name is more similar to jun’s than kazuya’s, and in turn, kazuya’s is more similar to kazumi’s than heihachi’s. it seems like there’s a pattern here where each father expects his son to turn out less like him and more like the mother. i wonder if they’ll explore this. maybe that’s why in 2 games in a row, a mommy character the daddy thought was dead came back
This is so unreal. I grew up with this series. I remember receiving tekken 2 as a birthday gift as a kid and Jun was always my fave. It’s crazy that she’s canonically back after twenty something years. The developers did a good job on her. I’m so glad that they kept her updated graceful - aggressive style from TT2, but it’s interesting how they mixed it with some of unknowns telekinetic moves, I guess really illustrating her psychic nature that was always alluded to in the game lore. And finally after years of speculation and wondering we get to see interactions between Jun and Kazuya. Can’t wait to see all the Mishima Kazama family drama conclude. ❤
@@MonsterfromHell2543 And did it look like we asked for your opinion? No... Not really. I know exactly what you're trying to do and you're just trying to get attention off of these things which really makes it more sad for your life that you have to do this
I think Kaz does love her, or at least some part of him does. Even in his Devil ending in Tekken Tag Tournament he cradles Jun in his arms. She’s probably the only one who can bring out his humanity.
@@StunningSilken I mean kazuya become asshole and bad guy because of devil power and he literally just doesn't care anymore and straight evil after that lmao
@@li-limandragon9287 look like if she actually clean as light in his body then will to final for peace. Jin and kazuya back to together as “father and son”. Or if kazuya reject to Jun for light in his body then not know will to final or not… feel mix must be tekken 8 will be final?
Kazuya’s line is everything to me because I still had a small doubt that she would only be present as a flashback god-like entity but she is indeed alive, we need answers on that! I am so excited for this I can’t decide who to main between Jin and Jun and they haven’t even revealed half of the roster yet 😭😭
I'm so happy that Jun Kazama is (somehow, we're yet to see how exactly) back in the story and character roster! In Jin's wiki page in the physical appearance section it says that he has hair that spikes upwards just like Kazuya's, while at the same time he has facial features of his mother Jun. I'm so happy that her character design reflects that and that they genuinely look like mother and son! I also love how she is shown with a bright aura in combat and how soft and serene her voice sounds, almost like a remedy. There is power in purity and there is strength in tenderness, and I feel like she truly represents that. Aggression doesn't equal power and softness doesn't equal weakness.
I'm glad Jun has been hyped for so long, it made this trailer so much better. Chills when Jun and Kazuya spoke to each other. I can't believe she's alive! Welcome back Jun! ❤🔥
@@muhammadaliuppal1892 Hmmm, good question! I assume many others like myself never finished Devil Within, I was 9 when Tekken 5 came out, so I didnt know Devil within had Jun in it, and i've consumed a lot of Tekken content so im confused how I wouldnt know this if its even true.
@@muhammadaliuppal1892 I just really remember Devil Within being too hard for me at the time! And i've never gone back to try playing it again, and its simply because I no longer have Tekken 5! 🤣
Kazuya being surprised that his son's mother and possible love interest didn't even tell him she's still alive for all those years (presumably with good reason), his mother trying to kill him in the last game, his dad throwing him of cliffs and more, his adoptive brother despising him, his son also constantly at odds with him, as well as his half brother and possibly even his grandad in 5 all coming into conflict with him at one point really reminds me how lonely Kazuya must be, how forlorned he must feel
Jun Kazama rage art hits different from all tekken character, when other use brutal force, she just use her purity to cleanse the soul. Well done namco, well done 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
1:05 Kazuya's face kinda look like "normal person being shocked" here instead of his usual devilish frown, so perhaps they'll show what's left of his humanity in the story later
Like many, Tekken 2 was my first Tekken game ever. Even after my interest in Tekken has faded over the years, it's still so surreal to see Jun REALLY back in a mainline Tekken game after over 25 years!
I'm rewatching this and you know what is hitting very hard at this moment? Kazuya never lands a single blow. This isn't going to be history repeating itself.
@tomatoesofdoom short answer: Yes. Long answer: I've been wanting her return ever since I saw Unknown as a kid in Tekken Tag and got her ending, though it was non-canon. The mystery of what really happened when she fought Ogre and where she's been while her son got corrupted by his father and grandfather, she's gonna have A LOT of explaining to do. She's the only character who has a track record of pacifying the father and son. Hell we can also get the interactions between her and Asuka (the only other shown Kazama) and maybe even some interactions with Xiao.
I‘ve been waiting for this like… a long time 😍😍😍 And I knew Jun would finally make her comeback! One of my favorite characters since the very beginning. ❤
OMG I LOVE JUN KAZAMA. Her moveset is incredible, it kinda resembles both her old ttt2 style and Unknown's dark powers except it's pure light weilds. Absolutely perfect, WELCOME BACK JUN KAZAMA❤
I’m soooo glad they kept Jun’s TT2 stance. Really made her look like a master of her style. Super pumped she’s back, also loving the nods to Unknown in some of her attacks!
Jun Kazama is an amazing woman and incredible character. Namco is doing a great job bringing their characters to life top to bottom. I can feel the her warmth, her love, the compassion, and empathy she has. Jun truly believes in the utmost good in all things and protecting all life. She's the embodiment of the ideal feminine and the ideal mother.
Can’t believe it took over 20 years to bring back Jun but I’m so thankful they finally did it. Hopefully they do Jun’s storyline justice. Edit: I know she was in tekken tag but those games were non-canon having no storyline or consequences to the actual timeline of tekken. So this is the first game since Tekken 2 where we can find out what actually happened to Jun.
As Jun main character since tekken tag tournament she is the still the Queen of Tekken and the Iron Fist no one can defeat her and shes the most elegant queen off all tekken characters to date !! I love her more than anyone else , thank god shes back!!
OMG, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JUN SO MUCH IN TEKKEN!!!! I first saw her in Tekken 2 and instantly love her from the start and I was so dying to find out when she'll be coming back in the game after following Kazuya defeating her in the 2nd game, and now knowing she actually survived and came back, I'm literally crying in happiness now and I literally love her fighting style AND I WANT TO PLAY HER!!!! She's now part of my top favorites in Tekken and looking forward to playing her again, THANK YOU TEKKEN!!!!
As for Guest appearances this time around Devil May Cry isn't out of the Potential line up. Neither is Tifa from FF7 to boost the Hype of The Next Part of FF7.
@@ivansalcedo2290 Tekken 7's guest characters are questionable to say the least, Akuma doesn't have an extensive movelist like all the other Tekken fighters that have like, 100 moves and strings, Geese too. Let's hope they do this right in Tekken 8.
It reminded me of Aang from The Last Airbender when he defeats his worst enemies not with a super powerful ultimate attack but by clearing his own mind and taking away the power from his opponents
Potential Spoiler: Jun is the Vessel of Angel Who will battle Devil/True Devil (Forced out of Kazuya and Jin's bodies) That's her Reason and Role in all this. To bring this Cycle of Cursed BloodLine and Family Feud to an End. As for a Young Heihachi potentially in the Roster? (Heihachi Clone/Body Rejuvenation) Why wouldn't he have Planned for his own Death back in 7? If Kazuya was Revived Heihachi can pull that trick off to
@@kristinechan8569 Can someone explain to me why someone kind like Jun married a psycho like Kazuya? I don't know much about the story of Tekken outside of having watched the new anime.
The sounds must be in a beta version still cause there are only 2 different hit sounds. One for normal hits and one for counter hits. And both are very similar and I personally don't like them. The only new sounds are from rage arts
Wow this stage looks so beautiful just like Jun 😍, nostalgia kicked in 🥹 & I feel happy she is back she is like the angel that can stop Kazuya & Jin’s conflicts her rage art is like cleaning your soul from all the bad inside you she looks amazing 🥰 🕊️
Glad Jun's finally back in the mainline games. Her moveset looks sick and even a bit different from her Tag 2 iteration. Her character model still looks a bit early in-game compared to the other characters, but she still looks great in this game.
Do you realize that, lore-wise, this is the first time we see her again since Tekken 2 ? More than that, she was alive all along. This trailer is great, Jun makes a stunning return. She looks very gracious and elegant and so is her "rage" art. I'm definitely going to try her !
The dialogue Jun had with Kazuya is just nostalgic goosebumps back to the Tekken anime stories where Jun is torn between love and empathy to Kazuya's heart-tearing past, and resolution in stopping the evil nature in him. On another point: It was by love, that they had Jin; It was by fate, that they had to fight against each other.
its always felt weird that the story claims Kazuya has an evil nature in him when he's literally just a product of his environment. Raised without his mothers love with a heavily abusive father that only ever saw him a potential threat to himself and humanity how else was Kazuya supposed to live other than going after his father at some point. Kazuya didnt get to chose his heritage and Heihachi was never going to let him be with the devil gene in him. Sure he fucks up in not being their for his wife and son and its fair to call him a bad dad I just dont see the evil in him when he comes from such a bad place from the jump. Dude never really had the chance to know peace except for his time with jun which even then was plagued with looming threat of heihachi coming for his life and potentially his family.
@@NANINani-wg6df True. Kazuya was never given a choice nor purpose since he was born. As you said, he is a product of his environment. If only Heihachi gave him that, Kazuya would have found a different purpose in life - which was why Jun had Jin, but failed as his hatred and vengeance (then ambition and power later) far surpasses his goodness, as if that was his second nature (either by the Devil gene, or his own nature bred through his cruel environment) To make matters worse, Jin's existence only complicated matters even more. And just like his father, Jin didn't get to decide how to walk his life as events kept unfolding against him - which made Jun felt more guilt. Her only solace is to raise Jin to not tread his father's path, even sending him to Heihachi (though reluctantly as last resort) to train until he can fight to forge his own fate.
@@mu2137 he's probably just slightly surprised it took her this long to show up again. This is kazuya we're talking about lmao bro literally has no compassion left for anyone or anything, except for his sneaker collection.
Jun once thought that having Jin would turn Kazuya from his path of power and vengeance. Unfortunately, it only added more curse to the cause and effect - Jin inherited his father's Devil gene, and Kazuya did not stop, the blood thirsting for ambition and power runs in the family.
