History Anime / TekkenBloodline

* UseYourHead: [[spoiler:Jin finishes off True Ogre with a powerful headbutt.]]

** Ogre is significantly stronger than his game counterpart. [[spoiler:As True Ogre, he was capable of defeating Jin, then fought Paul, Hwoarang and Xiaoyu at once and won, and keep in mind Paul defeated him during the third tournament (Though he defeated Ogre, Jin is the one who defeated True Ogre). After Jin got back up, he only managed to win by turning into Devil Jin, something he didn't need to do back in 3.]]

** Hwoarang and Xiaoyu barely interacted in the games, though the Scenario Campaign dialogue in ''6'' depicted them as knowing each other, likely due to their mutual acquaintance in Jin, who serves as a rival to the former and a close friend to the latter. Here, they're depicted as being good friends with each other as well, forming a ThreeAmigos dynamic with Jin.

* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler:Though Xiaoyu herself is no slouch, being trained by Heihachi and Wang, Nina seems to lose her temper easily, given her game counterpart is cool and collected to the point of being TheSociopath, which allows Xiaoyu to exploit her anger to fatigue her, weakening her holds and then knocking her out.]]

* AdaptationalWimp:
** [[spoiler:Paul doesn't defeat Ogre in ''Bloodline'' like he does in ''Tekken 3''. Granted, he was held back by Heihachi, but he also fails to make much of a dent in True Ogre even when teamed up with Hwoarang and Xiaoyu, while in the games, he's canonically as powerful as an unpowered Jin, who defeated True Ogre in both continuities.]]
** [[spoiler:Though Xiaoyu herself is no slouch, being trained by Heihachi and Wang, Nina seems to lose her temper easily, given her game counterpart is cool and collected to the point of being TheSociopath, which allows Xiaoyu to exploit her anger to fatigue her, weakening her holds and then knocking her out.]]
** [[spoiler: Heihachi gets a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Devil Jin, who savagely beats him up to a bloody pulp, meaning he's not so much MadeOfIron as he is in the games' continuity. In ''Tekken 3'' Jin's ending (canon), Heihachi gets smashed through a stone wall and then slammed into a crater on the floor several stories below by Devil Jin, but after the latter flies off to the moon, Heihachi gets up looking no worse for wear]].

** Hwoarang and Xiaoyu barely interacted in the games despite both debuting in the same installment and having a mutual acquaintance in Jin, who serves as a rival to the former and a close friend to the latter. Here, they're depicted as being good friends with each other as well, forming a ThreeAmigos dynamic with Jin.

** Xiaoyu gets this, in the games her status as a ActionGirl isn’t really taken all that seriously and she’s mainly there to be a MoralityPet to Jin as well as PluckyComicRelief. Here however her skills are noted and praised by Heihachi himself [[spoiler:and Xiaoyu even manages to kick Nina’s ass and fight True Ogre alongside Jin, Hwoarang and Paul.]]

** [[spoiler:Nina here gets defeated by Xiaoyu, who uses her opponent’s anger to fatigue her before knocking her out. In the games, Nina can canonically go toe to toe with Heihachi himself and easily has much more experience than Xiaoyu at this point in the story. Even trying to exploit Nina’s temper to beat her is nonsensical, given her game counterpart is cool and collected to the point of being TheSociopath.]]

** Steve Fox, Craig Marduk, Feng Wei, and most notably Leroy Smith all appear at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, where in the games' timeline they don't debut until much later. Out of the four of them, Leroy is the one shown with any actual focus paid to him, as the others are eliminated off-screen.[[Results]]Steve and Marduk fall to Hwoarang and King respectively in the first round, while Feng advances by defeating Lei only to lose to Jin.[[/note]]

* ShownTheirWork: Thanks to the involvement of the games' producers, the characters' fighting styles are accurately represented; even something as basic as the Flash Punch Combo or Hunting Hawk are recognizable during fight scenes.

** A certified badass no doubt, King II got a lot more play as a nigh unstoppable competitor during the events of Bloodline. Attacks barely seem to faze him, and he's treated outright as TheDreaded by majority of the competitors for his silent attitude and intimidating look. He even manages to defeat Paul, who canonically went undefeated during the events of ''Tekken 3'' which ''Bloodline'' is an adaptation of. King ends up being the opponent Jin faces at the tournament final, and forces a very close fight which Jin wins by the skin of his teeth, just going to show further how undeniably tough King is.

** Likewise, Paul seems to get fairly chummy with Jin and the other young fighters, Hwoarang and Xiaoyu to a lesser extent. He even tells Jin about [[spoiler:Kazuya's fights against Heihachi in the two previous tournaments]] as he recalls them. In the games continuity, Paul is friends with the Law family and Steve, but no one else.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Jin and Hwoarang's relationship is depicted as more of a FriendlyRivalry in this anime, as opposed to the games were they are purely rivals who don't really care much for each other.

* BullyingADragon: The drunken father of one of the kids who pick on Jin comes to the Kazama home, demanding an apology from Jin over the former beating up his son in retaliation. When the man makes the mistake of insulting Jin's mother, Jin makes a move to give him the same treatment he gave his son. Jun being faster and knocking the man over with a push is the only thing that spares him a vicious and arguably well-deserved beatdown.

** Eddy Gordo is curiously absent from this show despite it adapting the plot of the game he debuted in.
** Marshall is the Law present in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 instead of Forest.

** Bryan Fury and Lei Wulong are also missing.

* AmazonianBeauty: Nina Williams is this in contrast to the games, she was already a beautiful woman but the anime shows to well toned abs.

** Just like the games it’s ambiguous as to whether Jun actually died fighting Ogre or not. She clearly attempts a TakingYouWithMe by holding Ogre in an armlock near a leaking gas tank, but Ogre teleports away just as the explosion goes off. When Jin gets up again it’s framed like Jun has died, but no trace of her body can be seen and it’s entirely possible she got teleported away with Ogre given she was holding onto him.

* VillainRespect: Despite sneering at Jun's pacifism, Heihachi tells Jin he considers her a wise woman...mostly.

** Heihachi [[spoiler:gets a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Devil Jin, who savagely beats him up to a bloody pulp, meaning he's not so much MadeOfIron as he is in the games' continuity.

In the games, Nina can canonically go toe to toe with Heihatch himself and easily has much more experience than Xiaoyu at this point in the story. Even trying to exploit Nina’s temper to beat her is nonsensical, given her game counterpart is cool and collected to the point of being TheSociopath.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:Heihachi never confirms or denies that he released Ogre like Julia claimed, only telling Jin when pressed, "Does it matter?"]]

** As this series seemingly follows the {{Retcon}} of Devil being a powerup for certain characters (i.e. the Devil Gene), instead of a supernatural entity on its own, Devil and particularly his enemy Angel from the second game are out. This is in contrast to other characters from ''Tekken 2'', such as Baek or Roger and Alex who do appear as cameos.

** Heihachi. In ''Tekken 3'' Jin's ending, Hei is slammed through a wall and smashed into a crater on the floor several stories below by Devil Jin, but then he gets up looking no worse for wear. [[spoiler:Here, Devil Jin goes all out in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Heihachi, viciously beating him up to a bloody pulp, before flying away]].

* Sequel: To the earlier anime "Tekken: The Motion Picture", which it follows directly on from and maintains a similar art style. This film roughly covers the events of Tekken 2, and ends with Jun raising the young Jin a few years afterwards, concluding with the first visit of Ogre. Bloodline continues to tell the story of Jin's childhood up until the point of Jun being attacked by Ogre, after which it loosely tells the story of Tekken 3. The Ogre visit seen in Motion Picture (which is not seen in the games) is even referred to in Bloodline, where it's stated that Ogre wished to observe Jin's power but didn't feel he was ready yet.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler:Even though Jin defeated King in the last round of tournament, Heihachi still demands that he and Jin fight once more.]]
