Fandom account for Hadestown, Tekken, misc other things. Pretty much a Kazuya fan account atm
God Tekken is a silly game but sometimes it can really drop a horrifically sad bomb on you like all these people have literally been molded by one man so absolutely that they have the same mannerisms.
…and then bc it’s tekken…one of those people is a bear…

Its a class difference. Rich people are allowed an extended adolescence, poor people are expected to get on the line asap.
Material whore time: I really appreciate what a rich bitch costume this is:
- crocodile leather (one of the most expensive leathers lol)
- paisley …velvet Lining, fully lined, poss silk velvet?
- lots of high end detailing on the coat: storm shield, epaulettes, sleeve loops…

8 Character Design Reveals 🎉
Second is...

The Cold-Blooded Oppressor
Kazuya Mishima👊

#KazuyaMishima
Check out the elaborate designs on his accessories✨
Guys we may need to start grading Kazuya’s losses on a curve because I’m pretty sure if I saw this lady without clothes on I could never concentrate on a fight again. Or anything else. Good god.
Ugh this has hit me in the feels tonight.
Honestly it's fascinating to me that Heihachi treated Kazuya so unbelievably badly when he was Heihachi's only legitimate heir and the literal last living fragment of the wife he ostensibly loved (and Kazuya so strongly resembled).
1. There is no tekken without Kazuya. Full stop. Having a villain mc was the best thing the series did. Truly groundbreaking.
2. I find him inspiring bc he always gets back up regardless of his troubles and scars.
3. No one else is ever as fun.
4. His fashion? A true inspo!
I just noticed...In Jin's ending, Kazuya and Jin are sparring in Shotokan (Kazuya's) style.
But in Jun's ending, Kazuya and Jin are sparring in Kyokushin (Jin's) style!
The boys are learning one another's moves 😭

This is the only fact I know about Natalie Portman's personal life and honestly I feel SO SORRY for her holy shit. I would have no idea how to deal with that beyond increasingly hysterical laughter which I do not think is appropriate.
@fortnitejimmy11
It is especially darkly humorous to me that, if not for the existence of the boxing kangaroo and velociraptor, the series main character would not exist.
@mythsbaby
Its honestly impressive this person has been on the internet long enough to know lesb*s can be used as a pejorative but not that Lesbos is in fact a place. Like. Right now. The greeks still call it Λέσβου. Its literally the first google result.
Reran Tekken 7’s story mode to get ready for T8 and at the time putting the focus on Kazumi seemed random bc she’s been canon dead for 40 years, but now with Jun in Tekken 8…it feels cohesive.
Because Kazuya’s problem has always been getting out of his father’s shadow.
(1/?)
Went through hellish abuse together as kids, forced to fight against one another, it became so ingrained that they're still fighting forty years later for ever-increasing stakes.
@Awkward_Togepi

@barbiesswanlake
Oh there's def that too but they generally aren't gouache enough to be like "oh we have to get Reginald a job at Arby's". It's more "Reggie has to be in swimming chess 4H AND an internship and all As so he gets into harvard!!!"
American productivity culture is ingrained sadly.
Agreed. The fact that Jun is smiling and giving him a bit of the ol' bedroom eyes (chin a little lowered, blushing?, eyes on him only) and not showing any kind of shock or distress suggests she's OH BAE IS SHOWING ME OFF rather than I am in any kind of danger/distress
@Yuzuna1234
Even Kazuya would say Jun is too strong to be abused by anyone. Just feel how much he admires her and trusts her strength enough that he knew she would just catch that trophy no problem to show the interview first hand evidence of why he gushes over her so much.
And the worst fucking kicker is Kazuya has often ruined his own life trying to be the son his dad wanted, prioritizing his dad's priorities, learning all of Heihachi's lessons so well.
And Heihachi...always seems to have treated him distantly. So heartbreaking. :(
But I also love the character details that tie this to many of his other outfits:
- his collar is popped and loose
- consistent favoring of silver over gold
- subtle contrast in lapel color versus
- leather boots
- purple black and red color scheme
Said it before and…
I’ll say it again. No series is as good at establishing a characters consistent set of style as this one is. The outfit is always different but the style ethos per character is fascinatingly consistent. That’s very hard to do!
I was today years old when I finally learned that the Kazama sigil design is called a TOMOE
This has been the bane of my fanfic life for YEARS so I am passing it on to save other Kazama fanfic writer lives
@alikhalil809
He is SO WEIRD in how he talks to Jin. He never calls him his son directly but he sure does indirectly. "Is this the best you can do with the BLOOD I GAVE YOU"? Like Kaz. Kaz. what the fuck
I think he's just closed himself off entirely by this point. He can't imagine...
okay if we're all gonna give the outfits we want namco to make in Tekken 8 I humbly offer Kazuya's T6 "Savior of the World" outfit
Yes, you can serve "Humanity's Savior" AND mafioso don, proof below:
@Pinkcherry43
Honestly I think this is the real reason Kazuya got into her. “Oh this girl is EXPERIMENTAL, she got that one black winged toe sandal” 🤣🤣🤣
I didn't notice this until watching Jun's ending for the mumble mumble time but Jin actually goes from annoyed to smiling a bit after Kazuya hits him in the mug LMFAO
Just like yeah...my dad's an idiot. Good god is my dad an idiot.
...And twitter just decided the most important thing to highlight in every ouftit was his crotch LMFAO thanks twitter
Tho I will say you can see here how he's always been built like an hourglass too and man does he know how to take advantage of that little waist.
The American Tekken comics are a weird lot, but I will forever love this comic for having Kazuya go completely out of his way to save Jin's life only to DUNK HARD on him and deny any relationship literally ONE PAGE LATER
1. Co-signed.
2. I'm forever in love with the fact he's a front-line leader. Like you get why his troops like him, dude is boots on the GROUND.
3. Only Kaz would be so extra to do PURPLE CAMO
@worrierprincess
@iboudreau
Listen this is the most painfully lily-white thing I have ever read but if there is one thing I know for sure it is that italians take lunch SUPER seriously. And if an older lady says you mangia, you EAT
Low-key but I love that even in Jun's dreams she's a little surprised by Kazuya being a bit of a dick. Like she always hopes he would be better, but she's a realistic dreamer 🤣🤣🤣
@shiro_boom
My favorite part of this is that devil implies Kazuya has absolutely played a crazy amount of dating sims lmfao
Also gosh dang the BITE MARKS no wonder he’s proposing, she’s a baddie
I’m really enjoying tekken bloodline but I’m sorry I find it hilarious that people keep telling Jin that he can’t tell people he’s Kazuya’s son.
Like do people in tekken world not have eyes?
@dieworkwear
Gandolfini. Way more confident looking; dressed up but not calling your attention to it. Those pants are really nice.
I also like the flash of the bracelet on the wrist. Gandolfini had the right kind of mobster accessorizing. Men overlook accessories.
I really hope Tekken 8 finally puts him in his fathers shoes and he chooses, for once, to be the better man.
To embrace love instead of killing it.
To let the man, for once, move on from his fathers shadow.
@CBSNews
Pumpkins are about 2 bucks a piece at the going rate and a service dog costs about somewhere between $8,000 to $20,000 so this kid should be able to afford it in about 33 years if he sells 30 pumpkins a season.
So uh, yeah, this is awful.
The Mishima Zaibatsu desk through the years if anyone needs the references bc I do
T8 Kazuya's is clearly a different room/building or VERY extensive redesign
Also damn, house Mishima just had a solid generation of heartthrobs there didn't it lol. Even in their late 40s/50s they are handsome af
Like sirs ur already rich as fuck it should be illegal to be this pretty on top of it all.
@JenosonTwit
I used to think this was the price we paid for having made being gay in public acceptable, that our children would be ignorant of the past. Now it’s become clear the children have no idea of the wolves they’re letting in the gates and how quickly “being gay right” turns into…
Look if they're gonna make a tekken shop to steal my monies....Can we please get an T1/T2 Kazuya (no scars but chest scar) skin? The last renders we have of that are from TTT and I'd love a more up-to-date one. 😂
👉👈 plz namco
I love how this dude has such an intense smirk for the crowd but then I realized this dude has been in almost every final in this tournament since 1994 so it makes sense he knows his angles
I finally tracked down the other Tekken 3 4koma and you know what I did not expect in it?
Tekken 3 era Kazuya Mishima mooning over Jun Kazama lmfao.
Congrats to this artist who accurately predicted Kazuya’s tekken 8 feelings in 1997 🤣🤣🤣
@TheAverageJoe28
Yeah it does. Kaz completes his journey to being heihachi entirely. Absolutely consumed by his own fears and lust for power :(
I find it interesting that his final bit in his office is pretty nihilistic. “I’ll fight to the end” —-> sounds like he knows he’ll lose.
The way his eye glows inhumanly is a fantastic example of a small detail having a huge impact on the design.
Tekken 8 design team should be proud honestly, all the chars designs are A+ this time around.
Good meta is good.
We really don’t talk about what g corp did to him enough. Like yeah dude consented but it’s clear he had no choice given how the second he shows autonomy, they try to kill him.
Also Dude literally only ever had 2 people care about him. And they’re both dead
Dude was callously thrown off a cliff at the tender age of five, was physically and mentally abused growing up, thrown into a volcano, his body constantly experimented on by a shady company, and was nearly killed by said company. No wonder he became such an evil bastard
@rianphin
while I like TRR, I got to say that your ability to buy clothes there vanishes the higher in the size bracket you climb. Very little available if you're over a US 14/16.
On top of that some of their clothing is very oddly sized, you need to know your measurements.
@angie_rasmussen
@Fangirling_0nly
I wouldn't be surprised if people with clotting disorders (probably 5% of the population) will be advised to take moderna/pfizer to try to avoid these issues.
Also that 1 in 3,000 is RIDICULOUSly high for oral contraceptives and again I mourn the lack of interest in that field.
@JenosonTwit
“There’s no such as being gay and being a good person”
Kids have no idea what’s coming for them and I’m sad. I feel like we failed them. I feel like the people older than us failed us. I fear the future. I hope we can fight together to make it a better world.
I would like to think this is the point where Kazuya realized he really did actually have to meet Jun Kazama, ecological fighter for reasons that were entirely ecological and not at all based on the sheer strength it takes to bulldoze a sumo.
I find it so fascinating that the two most popular fandom interpretations for Kazuya's feelings toward Jin in Tekken 8 are either "Kazuya has a soft spot for Jin" or "Kazuya completely HATES him" and very little inbetween
Extremely niche, unmarketable shit I want: an entire fucking book on the mishima/hachijo families.
I wanna know about the flashes of these samurai and demons in the Tekken 8 promotional material so bad
Jun saw Kazuya’s demon form and didn’t flinch from it. She contained the relationship and even when it ended, she raised his son even knowing that the same fate could have fallen on Jin the way it did on his father.
Heihachi saw his wife’s demon and snapped her neck.
1. I love that this is Kazuya’s response to Jin and Leroy’s believe in yourself moment lmfao.
2. His voice does sound bomb but good god Kazuya bb bby boy you are so mentally unwell plz get therapy sweetie
Okay but real talk this woman is one of the very few good people in Tekken land and despite her life being REAL ROUGH and suffering loses that would break most of us she never once lost her belief in the innate goodness of people. Even people who really really didn’t deserve it.
