The Mishima bloodline is still going strong after nine main games, eight spin-offs, three live-action feature films, two animated films, and several appearances in comic books. The infamous family of deadly, self-centered corporates and supernatural martial artists first appeared in the Bandai Namco video game Tekken in 1994. Since then, they have been a major part of every game in the series. Their complicated and violent family history will be at the center of the upcoming anime Tekken: Bloodline, which is based on the popular fighting game series of the same name.

Set between the events of Tekken 2 and the start of Tekken 3, viewers will see the world through the eyes of a young Jin Kazama. This world is full of pain, horror, and years of emotional damage from past generations. People who know the game’s official story know that the character is important in every game after Tekken 3, where he was the main character. Even though the same story was used for the live-action movie Tekken in 2010, which is famous for having a Rotten Tomatoes score of 0%, the recent teasers and trailer for the new anime version make it look much better.

The anime will bring back a number of fan-favorite characters (except for the beloved Mishimas, of course), and the story will be a little different from that of the Tekken video games, as we’ll talk about later. So, while you wait for The King of Iron Fist Tournament to come back, check out everything we know so far about the upcoming Tekken: Bloodline anime series, which we have put together below.
