Tekken LoreFi

This is the 4th and final part in our series on Jinpachi Mishima, the grandfather of Tekken. Today, we look at Jinpachi's most important relationship - his friendship with Wang Jinrei.

Take a look at each of these characters and what their relationship represented. As one of the purest friendships in all of Tekken, it is worth exploring in its entirety, from Tekken 1 all the way to Tekken 6. This was a recurring theme that the game developers continued to explore for over two decades. See how we incorporated this into important elements of our own story on Jinpachi.

In the Part 2 of the Jinpachi series, we explore the possible backstory of Jinpachi Mishima. Before he became father of Heihachi or grandfather of Kazuya, what was his life like?

The Mishima Zaibatsu initially grew thanks to the selling of weapons during World War 2. After the war, Jinpachi turned to a life of peace, avoiding needless conflict. That's the lore. But there's a lot of context missing between the end of the war and the beginning of Jinpachi's pacifist lifestyle. In Tekken LoreFi, we explore a story that tries to establish a context.

Feel free to send feedback, or even come up with your version. I'd be happy to read it!

This is Part 1 of a 4-Part series on Jinpachi Mishima, the grandfather of Tekken. Today, we will provide an in-depth character analysis of Jinpachi...so in depth that we took the MBTI personality test on his behalf.

This character analysis will try to take what we know about Jinpachi and piece together a holistic view of Jinpachi as a person. What kind of guy would he be if we were to bump into him in the real world. Make sure to listen to the whole episode to find out how we go from Jinpachi being the most honorable of the Mishimas to the Denzel Washington of Tekken.

Tekken LoreFi is about to begin. But how will it work? Tekken LoreFi is equal parts Lore, LoFi and fan fiction. We will do a deep dive on every playable character in Tekken. Each character will have four episodes dedicated to them in the following areas:

If you are into the backstory of Tekken, this series is for you. I will do my best to remain true to the lore, uphold the values and personalities of the characters, and add a little bit of nuance to their stories.

Let's go on this journey together.

Tekken LoreFi is coming! This is going to be a podcast aimed at seasoned Tekken fans or newcomers to the game. We'll do match characters, moves, and relationships to the ongoing lore of the Tekken franchise. All backed with LoFi music. Sounds good, right?
