The Tekken meme cycle primarily revolves around the absurdly dramatic lore of the Mishima family, specifically the recurring theme of fathers throwing their sons off cliffs or into volcanoes. Originating from the ending cinematic of the first Tekken game in 1994 where Heihachi throws Kazuya into a ravine, this trope has become a staple of internet culture used to symbolize disposing of a problem in the most dramatic way possible. Other popular variations include Kazuya’s 'Electric Wind God Fist' (Dorya!) and the viral Kazuya reaction image from Smash Bros. These memes are a cornerstone of the Fighting Game Community (FGC), blending high-stakes martial arts drama with the chaotic humor of internet reaction culture.
