-->'''Heihachi''': Just this: words like "justice" and "truth" are empty concepts that have led societies through cancerous histories. Through the ages, those who have blindly believed in these absolute truths have fought and died over empty platitudes. Today, you'll find people mistaking their own greed for truth, and eating the planet out from under them and condemning themselves to total annihilation, chanting their democracy and their freedom as though they were a religion. They're cheerfully justifying their journey towards self-destruction.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: While this is meant to portray the events of the first ''Tekken'', Jun Kazama and Lei Wulong, who debuted in ''Tekken 2'', play a significant role to the plot. Jun's early appearance here may factor why Kazuya receives an AdaptationalHeroism, as in the canon game, she only appeared ''after'' Kazuya established himself as a cruel villain.

Added DiffLines:

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Nina, along with the other fighters (Paul, Law, King, Armor King, and Yoshimitsu), managing to survive the Alex clones just as they appeared to be saved by Lei and Bosconovich. It's clear the fighters had to eliminate the dinosaurs set to kill them earlier (with Law, King, Armor King, and Nina limping to show for it). Only Paul came out unscathed, having managed to save Michelle too]].
* PetTheDog: Played straight at first when after listening to why she wants Heihachi dead and pummeling her, Kazuya promises Michelle that he will kill Heihachi for her sake too. This is subverted as he attempted to kill her until Jun interfered.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never saw Baek Doo San and Ganryu after they were respectively defeated by Kazuya and Michelle, especially if they were [[spoiler:attacked by Alexes or not]].

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Michelle in the games just wanted revenge on Heihachi for killing her father in the first game, and kidnapping her mother in the second. Here, he also burned her village to the ground.



* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Anna gets eaten alive by one of the Alex clones, Lee commits suicide by setting off the tower's self-destruct while he's still inside, and Jack-2 performs a HeroicSacrifice by holding up a closing steel door so that Lei, Jane and Dr. Boskonovitch can escape the doomed island -- which crushes him afterward]].

** The reason why he got thrown into the cliff by Heihachi turns out not out of rage of Heihachi murdering his mother (though that is established way later in the series), but because Heihachi saw him trying to comfort Jun over her dying pet and declares that this is why Kazuya was weak and deserve to be thrown to a cliff.

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The general crux of Heihachi's MotiveRant to Jun. Humanity has put itself to numerous atrocious histories all for the sake of empty platitudes and ideals like freedom, justice, democracy and the like and will very likely sow the seeds of its own destruction this way, at least according to Heihachi. While Heihachi too plans to carve swathes of destruction upon the earth in his own way and through his own ideals, his way will be through the Iron Fist, his Tekken to rebuild the world in his own image.
