Plot
The plot, which takes place between the events of Tekken 5 and Tekken 6, begins with Anna Williams setting up a decoy for her sister, Nina Williams, who is currently working with the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin Kazama. Anna, on the other hand, works for Jin's father, Kazuya Mishima
and its rival organization, G Corporation. Both are seeking information
about a student named Shin Kamiya, and Anna dispatches a Chinese
student Ling Xiaoyu to act as a spy, while Jin sends humanoid robot Alisa Bosconovitch for a similar purpose.
During their investigation, Xiaoyu and Alisa form a friendship,
although they are forced to turn against one another when Shin is
captured by an unknown assailant. It is here that Alisa is revealed to
be a robot - although Alisa believes she possesses human qualities after
she spares Xiaoyu's life. After coming to terms with each other, Xiaoyu
is abandoned by Anna and G Corporation, and the two girls flee from
their previous organizations, taking refuge in their teacher, Lee Chaolan's mansion.
Xiaoyu and Alisa eventually discover genetic experiments had been
done on Shin and his classmates, and believe that the Mishima family is
seeking Shin, the sole survivor, and M gene subject, for his
immortality. The pair discover that this had in fact, been an elaborate
plan engineered by Heihachi Mishima.
After Heihachi disposes of Shin, he, Kazuya and Jin engaged in a
three-way brawl. Ultimately, Jin is the victor, utilizing his devil
powers. Heihachi then unleashes the ancient spirits of the Mokujins
and a final fist burst by Alisa leaves Mokujin Heihachi open. Jin
finishes him off, by an eye blast which slices it in half. Jin then
leaves, telling Xiaoyu that he awaits a future challenge.
The film ends with Alisa and Xiaoyu back at their school's festival
with the pair planning to enter the next King of Iron Fist Tournament.

Production
The film was initially announced at Namco's "LevelUp" event in Dubai
on May 5, 2011. A trailer premiered at the event and also was posted
online shortly after. The film, inspired by the popular video game series is being supervised by Youchi Mori (Appleseed), with the screenplay written by Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop) and animation production by Digital Frontier, who produced the FMV sequences for Tekken 5 and Tekken 6.
The release will arrive in late summer, also with availability in 3D.
In a group interview at the LevelUp event in Dubai, attended by
Christian Donlan for Eurogamer, Tekken project leader Katsuhiro Harada revealed Blood Vengeance has actually been in development since January 2010.
Harada has been very clear that this movie is not related to the live-action
film and is doing whatever he can to ensure this project is distanced
as much as possible from that film. "That doesn't have anything to do
with it this time," Harada insisted. "We're not trying to rewrite those
wrongs. Fans are always asking us for a 3D movie. This is our response
to them... We want to make a movie that everyone can enjoy, though. Not
just Tekken fans." Namco's Tekken team has wanted to do a 3D movie after the creation of the CG opening for Tekken 6's scenario campaign.
The film is voiced in English and Japanese with subtitles for other
languages. Each character in the game tends to speak their native
language. Namco has "tried as much as possible" to use the same voice
actors from the games for the film. Writer Dai Sato, who had previously
worked on Cowboy Bebop, is a fan of the Tekken series, and was given "quite a bit of creative freedom".
Release
The film was released in both Blu-ray and DVD formats on November 22,
2011 in North America, and December 1, 2011 in Japan. The Blu-ray
version was also released as a PlayStation 3 game, known as Tekken Hybrid. Whilst the disc can be played on any Blu-ray player, running the disc on a PlayStation 3 console will allow owners to also play an HD version of the original Tekken Tag Tournament, which was originally released in the arcades in 1999 and for PlayStation 2 in 2000,[6] as well as a demo version of the upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2.[7] A 3D version of the movie was made available in Tekken 3D: Prime Edition for the Nintendo 3DS.[8] It is the first film to be released for the 3DS.
