Heihachi Mishima, Jin’s power-hungry grandfather who possesses inhuman proficiency in martial arts, aggressively pushes his grandson to abandon the relatively peaceful Kazama-style of fighting in favor of the more brutal Mishima-style. Of course, Jin has to participate in The King of Iron Fist Tournament to do so. Tekken: Bloodline essentially serves as a reimagining of the events of Tekken 3, which saw protagonist Jin Kazama avenging the death of his mother Jun at the hands of Ogre, the god of fighting.
However, ultimately the show didn't debut, and instead we were treated to a preview of the show hosted by Tekken director and producer, Katsuhiro Harada. The show's debut was hinted at on May 26th as part of a release about Netflix's geeky event. As it turns out, fans will not have to wait long to see how well Tekken: Bloodline translates all this into a TV format, as it has an official release date of August 18. Tekken: Bloodline was expected to release on June 10th as part of Netflix's Geeked Week 2022. The franchise boasts a popular cast of characters as well as lore that remains easy to become lost in despite how absurd it can get. Making a TV series out of Tekken makes perfect sense, though. Although this new series, titled Tekken: Bloodline, does not represent the first anime adaptation the series has received, it nonetheless came as quite the surprise. A few months ago, Netflix revealed a new anime adaptation of Tekken, Bandai Namco’s most esteemed 3D fighting game franchise.
