Canon Welding: It's been implied that the Devil Gene and the Satsui no Hadou have a connection, and Akuma's reasoning for being Kazumi's hitman boils down to " I Owe You My Life.". This means that Tekken and Street Fighter share universes, or at least some version of the latter exists here. Canon Immigrant: Akuma officially exists as part of the Tekken universe. Zafina and Ganryu also return as a part of season 3. The Bus Came Back: Anna, Armor King, Julia, Lei, and Marduk were initially cut from the game, but were readded in Season 2.

In the opening narration, Nina says that Jin, as the leader of the Zaibatsu, sent the human race to hell to save it.The story ends with Kazuya throwing a dead Heihachi down a cliff, into lava, while citing that the strong survive and the weak die. The story mode starts with a younger Heihachi throwing an unconscious child Kazuya off a cliff, telling him to "Try again in the next life".
