"What has become of the world?

We were used to have simple needs, and simple ways of fulfilling them.

We had a simple life, filled with joy and honest calm.

Before the dark times. Before the Mishima Bloodline..."

- excerpt from the journal of Nina Williams.

One day, everything changed for Heihachi Mishima. His happy life along his wife Kazumi and son Kazuya turned upside down.

Learning that his wife was a devil in one of the worst of its forms, he was forced to commit something that he wished to avoid... to KILL. Even though he justified it as a mercy for suffering Kazumi, inside his pure heart and soul, he knew this act brought him on a path of no return. The last tear has been shed, the last remorse delivered. Then...

Silence. Only silence inside the old man's soul. Heart, forever corrupted by sin.

Just like his only son, Kazuya. Kazumi's Devil Gene seemed to rot his inside as well. Which only turned the old Mishima more grim and dark. And killed his only heir to the Mishima Empire, from fear.

His focus was set on only one - asserting himself as the only and sole ruler of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and thus the whole world.

In which he succeeded to mantain... till Jin Kazama came in and changed everything...

Since the death of Jinpachi Mishima, nothing was the same ever again.

And it was never meant to be any different with his disappearance...
