The animated series focuses on Jin Kazama, and the action takes place between the events of Tekken 2, which features his mother, Jun Kazama, as one of the contestants in The King of Iron Fist tournament, and Tekken 3.
Jin made his debut in the third entry of the franchise, released in 1996. after losing his mother and Ogre, one of the antagonists of that franchise.
In the series, Jin was trained by his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, the founder of the tournament, as he sought revenge throughout.
You’ll get to hear Heihachi tell Jin to abandon Kazama’s pacifist ways and “fuel the Mishima fire”.
Indeed, it can be said that Heihachi is, without question, a positive villain, and he is the main antagonist of the Tekken franchise.
