While she does have an interesting story in those games (she’s confirmed to be the final boss, Unknown, in Tekken Tag Tournament 2) those games are, technically, not canon to the ongoing storyline of Tekken. In fact, she’s not a playable character in any games past Tekken 2 besides spinoffs like Tekken Tag Tournament (which is still one of my favorite fighting games of all time). That being said, Jun Kazama, who we meet in Tekken 2, isn’t in the third game. It’s a fantastic mix of “old meets new” as a younger generation of fighters (such as Jin, Hwoarang, and my girl Ling Xiaoyu) joins a roster of veterans like Paul Phoenix, Yoshimitsu, and the always feuding Williams sisters, Nina and Anna. Despite there being two games prior to Tekken 3, the third one is when I really started to get into the franchise. The anime looks like it revolves around Tekken 3, which is when we’re first introduced to Jin Kazama, who would go on to be a major character in the video games. “Those are really my favorite scenes,” Harada says, and as a longtime Tekken fan I can understand why. One big thing that looks to include is Jin’s time with his mother, Jun. During his interview with Netflix, Harada revealed that parts of the story that had “only been written in words” would be seen in the anime.
