And with a green and yellow melancholy

I'm going to be honest, I kind of forgot this existed. Oops. I rediscovered its existence thanks to eggsbenedict and got snowed in over the weekend so what a time to start it!

We open with Kazuya in profile. "What is it that haunts you? Whose eyes peer at you from the dark?" his voice asks.

Ho-kay, Kazuya. I See We're Bringing the Son of Satan vibe early here. He looks into the abyss, and the abyss opens its eyes as Devil stares back.

And god damn if I don't love it.

As it opens, it becomes obvious this is a Tekken 3 adaptation as baby! Jin is being picked on by bullies. I was really surprised by this. Tekken 3 came out in 1999! It's literally 22 years old! I suppose it shouldn't be that much of a surprise considering Tekken 7 (2017) focused primarily on events that happened before Tekken 1 (1994)? Anyway, I'm down with it. This is one of my favorite "canon events we got thirty seconds of an intro clip and two paragraphs in a manual on" (that is what passed for fighting game story in 1999).

Anyway, poor Jin. :( The show opens with him being beaten up by some kids who make fun of the fact he's a country bumpkin and he lives alone with his mom. Jin gets angry and starts beating them up after they talk shit about his mom (including taking one kid's tooth clean out of his mouth -- yikes).( more under the cut, TW for a screenshot of a tooth with a lil' blood on it )
