Its so bizarre to me how they portray Heihachi as nothing but a petty, vindictive, cruel, power-hungry asshole who delights in his assholish behavior for like 8 games (and two animated movies) straight, having him do some incredibly evil things like:

CHUCKING HIS 5 YEAR OLD SON OFF A CLIFF (AND NO HARADA THERE IS NO WAY IN ANY UNIVERSE YOU CAN JUSTIFY IT)

Adopting an orphan boy just to mess with his son while treating him just as badly.

Having Michelle Chang's father murdered.

Imprisoning his father under Hon-Maru to take over the company and restart its war profiteering and arms dealing.

Using Jin as bait to lure out Ogre and then mercilessly shooting his own grandson in the head after Ogre's defeat.

Tried to kill and take both Kazuya and Jin's devil powers for himself.

Fathered a bunch bastard kids and then abandoning them.

Not to mention the horrible shit he gleefully does in the non-canon endings.

And then in Tekken 7 they do a 180 and paint HIM, of all people, as the sympathetic one of the whole conflict. Trying to justify his actions, having him shed a tear at the mention of Kazumi's death (instead of Kazuya being the one to do so) and Harada's infamous tweet where he states that Heihachi "just looks evil but he's true to himself".

Like, what the fuck. I know Heihachi is Harada's favourite character, but for fuck's sake, at least own the fact that Heihachi is an evil piece of shit. Part of what made Heihachi a fun character was because of how much he enjoyed being a POS. Trying to paint him as this hurting warrior who tried to protect the world from the devils is such a bullshit retcon move that doesn't work.

(don't get me started on Tekken 8's story where everybody is cool with Jin and how his Devil Form was actually "just trying to protect him this whole time uWu")

#i hate heihachi sm hes levgit the WORST character but gets his dick constantly rode in the games #like hes portrayed as a nornal guy doing normal shit in tekken but kazuya and jin are bad #and yeah kazuya and jin are bad i cant excuse half the shit they have done BUT I CAN GIVE AN EXPLANATION #ABUSE AND GENERATIONAL TRAUMA YALL #theyre broken but heihachi is just a piece of shit
