Tekken: Bloodline follows protagonist Jin Kazama, one of the 168🦄澳洲幸运5开奖网:strongest characters in the Tekken series, in his quest for vengeance. Based on the events of Tekken 3, he seeks Ogre, a powerful creature responsible for killing numerous combatants. One of these is Jun Kazama, Jin's mother.
But how does the anime fare when competing with the game? Surprisingly, it's is fairly faithful to the source material, making the writing of this list quite challenging. Still, every adaptation comes with changes, and Tekken: Bloodline is no exception. Here's what to expect.
Thi𝄹s article c🅷ontains heavy spoilers from both Tekken 3 and Tekken: Bloodline.
5 ℱ 🌼 Characters From Future Games

This is one that might be obvious for those who have been following the series for a while, but there are characters who shouldn't be here. Mainly this is for two reasons — they were either not used in Tekken 3 (such as Ganryu), or weren't even created back then.
The most glaring example is Leroy Smith. He's a DLC fighter from Tekken 7, making him one of the newest characters in the series, and yet, here he is. Even though ꩵhe appears mainly throughout only one episode, his participation is still baffling.
Other characters who shouldn't be here but make brief appearances include Feng Wei, Marshall Law, Steve Fox, and Craig Marduk. Their appearances are mostly to show how many people there are in the tournament, and their fights are not featured. Some characters from Tekken 1 and 2 were shown in images as well, such as Baek Doo San and Wang Jinrei.
4 Cut Plots
Though many characters technically appear in the anime, most of them are nothing more than cameos, like those mentioned in the previous entry. However, characters such as Yoshimitsu and Anna, who were in the original Tekken 3, don't really do anything. Outside the Mishimas and Kazamas (and Ogre, obviously), the only characters who have some sort of relevance are Paul, Nina, Hwoarang, Xiaoyu, Julia, Leroy, and King.
That means a lot of stories were cut. We don't know why Yoshimitsu is at the tournament, for example. Nina doesn't even get a good explanation, other than money. The most curious case of cut plot, though, is Kuma. He has a cameo, where Paul mentions fighting a bear (which is canon) — however, he acts like that was the first time he'd done so, even though he fought Kuma's father in Tekken 2. Not to mention the fact that Kuma is Heihachi's pet, so not having these characters together is just odd. Even Jin should know who Kuma is.
3 🐓 How The Tournament Goes
Things happen much differently towards the end of the tournament if you compare the game and the anime. These changes were likely made for the sake of drama, but♒ Jin is not the ult𝓀imate winner of the tournament. Not at first, at least.
In the anime, we see Jin defeating King in the finals, only to have Heihachi challenge him. Then, Ogre appears and fights Jin. However, in the game, King never goes faജr in the tournament, and the person who goes undefeated and reaches the final match against Ogre is none other than Paul Phoenix. And it just gets better — he not only reaches Ogre, but he defeats the monster 🌺by himself.
The reason he isn't classified as the winner, though, is that after beating Ogre he just leaves — unaware that the creature has turned into a bigger, more powerful monster who keeps fighting. In the end, Jin fights and defeats True Ogre, and from there things happen more or less the same way in both the game and anime.
2 Ogre's Size And Power
Long story short — Ogre got buff, and I'm not talking about his muscles. Not only is he now double the size of every other fighter in both of his forms, but his overall combat abilities have been significantly increased.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ogre has always been a beast, but depending on who is fighting against him, he doesn't even bother to defend himself from attacks. Not to mention the final fight, where we have multiple people take him on at the same time. Paul, Xiaoyu, and Hwoarang all help Jin, which does add to the relationships between all these characters.
However, as stated above, the games are a lot more straightforward. Paul defeats Ogre, and Jin defeats True Ogre. The game is also not very clear about whether he uses the Devil Gene during the fight, since his first transformation is durᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚing his "death" shortly after the fight.
1 ဣ Devil Gene
The gene Jin inherited from his father Kazuya essentially works in the same fashion as in the game. It makes him more powerful and aggressive, thus making him a better fighter. The reason this is part of the list isn't the Gene itself, but the fact that Jin is more aware of it.
In the anime, Heihachi is surprisingly more honest to Jin, at least to a certain degree. Though he still hides the fact he wanted to capture Ogre, and he wanted to end the Devil Gene once and for all — which would eventually involve killing Jin — he's still open about explaining what it is, or at least what he knew about it. Obviously, the explanation was made for the sake of the audience, but still.
On a similar note, Heihachi also opens up about Kazuya to Jin, even going as far as straight-up saying he killed Kazuya. He likely says these things because he knows it won't affect his final plan of capturing Ogre, but it shows a different side of Heihachi — one where he cares five percent more about Jin compared to in the games.
