2/2 (Continues from previous post)

Maybe that is why he decided to help Jin's and Xiaoyu's "dazzling" love as a fairy godmother, because that is a better way to get back at Heihachi. The old man wanted nothing but death and destruction for his own offspring, but ironically Claudio will help continue his lineage through Jin and Xiaoyu, cleansing their curse. They will give Heihachi great granchidren with Claudio's help. Didn't those pachinko games(now canon) show Claudio actively helping Xiaoyu find Jin and actually healing him from his devil gene so they can be together and continue the Mishima-Hachijo lineage? (consequently now, Jin can actually control his devil genes on command, he is kinda purified now and on the mend, he is not a danger anymore) What would Heihachi think of it, if he basically devoted his life to try to destroy and end his own lineage? but true is thanks to Claudio, there will be more Mishimas with Hachijo's genes in future (tekken 9, tekken 10, tekken n) and the old man will be rolling in his lava grave by then. This would explain why Claudio, regardless his bio, appears detached and unemotional with Xiaoyu in actual footage, ( Tekken 8 intros and pachinko) and is very eager to play cupid and set her up with Jin with no particular hard feelings or resentment (if you check Claudio's personal likes/dislikes in his bio, Claudio only likes his Sirius Archers, and dislikes Heihachi, but there's no mention of Xiaoyu or Jin there, unlike Lee Chaolan who actually has Alisa in his list of likes) but, at the same time, has an emotional meltdown after Heihachi tells him "it's over between us" and begrudges him for it even after his death. What happened behind the scenes between them during that trip? why are the sirius archers abandonding Claudio? why don't they respect him any longer? why were they against Claudio jumping in that plane and leaving with Heihachi? Isn't it part of his job to be hired that way to perform exorcisms on call? why was it suddenly wrong with Heihachi? what do they know that we don't?"

After commenting with my brother about Claudio's bio in Tekken 8, (my bro always has funny opinions about tekken lore because, despite the fact he plays the game and has seen all the cinematics and story modes, he is not really a fan of the franchise so he is unattached to the characters and his opinions are raw), he noticed how half the bio is devoted to describe how heartbroken Claudio was about the way his "partnership" with Heihachi ended. How he caused him  "despair". My bro said the bio sounded overly dramatic and too emotionally charged because all Heihachi did was hiring him for a job, giving him a free air plane ride, making him his honor guest at his private quarters, making him feel welcome and well treated, (his treatment of Claudio was very good there which is a lot considering Heihachi has been nothing but cruel to everyone, including his family) then when things turned dangerous with Kazuya, Claudio was taken back home to be safe. Then, Heihachi and Claudio seemed to keep in touch through the internet, (texting or emailing each other constantly? lol) and then in a final videochat Claudio says to him "I did everything you wanted. I cannot do anything else", to which Heihachi basically responds "Well, true, you are not needed anymore". My bro says it is weird how Claudio reacts so emotionally to it, he replies "You monster!", visibly heartbroken. My bro cannot understand why. I told him "Well, he was hired to be part of the action right? probably he expected to fight Kazuya and perform an exorcism on him, that's what he does for a living, that's his job. But he was fired instead".) But my bro said: "Well, Claudio agreed to take that plane to be back home. He himself admitted he couldn't help anymore. He was content obeying Heihachi's orders. But then once Heihachi told him "It's over between us", he freaked out. What else was he expecting from 'their partnership'?. Heihachi decided he would risk his life alone, facing Kazuya and fighting him alone. Apparently, he had planed to use Claudio's healing/cleansing powers to debilitate Kazuya's devil gene so he could kill Kazuya easily. Maybe even use him as a human shield.  But then he changed his mind and sent Claudio home, basically saving his life in the process. Kazuya would have destroyed Claudio, no doubt. Due to this decision, Heihachi lost his life, but Claudio is stil alive. Why is Claudio so butthurt?" I told my bro Heihachi dismissed him in a very humiliating way "I used you enough, you're not useful anymore to me. I made you a fool". My bro said "Claudio was not useful at all to Heihachi. He did nothing except maybe say once 'I heard vague gossips about an ugly nonhuman being in the far east, maybe it is Devil Jin, maybe not, who knows". and that's it. That intel had already been gathered by Heihachi's employees themselves so they didn't even need Claudio's help there. If anything he only generated food, accomodations and travel expenses during his holiday at Heihachi's place, which I am sure the old man had to pay out of his pockets. But strangely, Heihachi didn't appear frustrated with Claudio's uselessness. He seemed very entertained by him, as to keep in touch through texts, emails and videochat… long after he sent him back home. He seemed to enjoy the Mr. Burns - Smithers dynamic that formed between them. Although, even Smithers works hard to please Mr. Burns. Claudio did absolutely nothing to gain his privileged seat next to Heihachi's throne, except maybe being pretty and entertaining . Unless Bamco is not telling us the whole story and more stuff happened between them that they won't tell us. Because, Claudio's reactions and emotional meltdown remind me of a DISCARDED LOVER.
