Is the Tekken Movie Canon?
The Tekken franchise is a beloved series of games and movies that have delighted fans for decades. From its inception in 1994, Tekken has grown into a massive series with numerous games, mangas, and animated sequences. With the latest cinematic installment, Tekken 7, the series has finally come full circle, ending with a cinematic epilogue. Amidst this epic journey, fans often discuss whether the Tekken movies are considered canon within the series.
Answer
NO, The Tekken Movies Are Not Canonical
To understand this distinction, we must look deeper into the world of Tekken and the creators’ intent regarding the films. Tekken: The Motion Picture was released in 1999 and serves as the direct adaptation of the game stories up until Tekken 3. Although the adaptation aimed to stay true to the original narrative, a few deviations and changes affected the storyline. Alas, the movie has departed from the canon timeline by introducing unique characters and contradicting in-game events, rendering it non-canonical.
Why Isn’t Tekken: The Motion Picture Canon?
Bearing in mind that fans adore Tekken 5, 6, 7, and more – a massive gap has indeed developed in the official cinematic universe. The events or storylines from The Motion Picture cannot be confirmed alongside the current timeline in video games or other mediating content (e.g. animated films, shorts).
In summary:
