Actress Kaylee Hottle, better known as Jia from the two recent MonsterVerse films has tragically passed away at the age of 18 after a fatal car crash this morning in Maryland, her father tells.

This hurts me so much. My heart breaks once again.
May you Rest In Peace, Kaylee.
Thank you for your time and inspiring many people in the deaf community. You will be missed.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

Can't wait for the last episode and hope all the thing get answered. We can see the stable rift under the water and perhaps might lead into something big.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

Sheesh, next week will be the last episode of monarch series. Godzilla left cocai until she back to her route, probably because she only want her egg back and they have kinda a lil talk so he goji understand. Screw isabel & crew for torturing cocai but also screw kentaro.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

One of the sad thing as we see the moment between keiko & billy once again. Billy didnt gave up on her and made him really suffering. Once keiko find her stuff and realize it was a sad moment to know billy died there (if im not mistaken that where he got attacked by skullcrawler)

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

The ending of this episode was criminal, i want to see the titan more and that was intense scene.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

Episode 8 was insane, poor cocai because she is just mother who protect their egg and she straight fight godzilla to protect it. Even when she fought back godzilla still chasing that egg as her priority as a mother and she doesnt deserved this.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

Kudos to godzilla for that atomic breath kill those dumbass apex guy. I think they're gonna bring cocai egg to skull island and thats why we see a clip of her fight with kong and also the plan of isabel with kentaro definetly they gonna do it in skull island somehow.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

I liked that we would see kentaro journey even more and the bonding between cate and keiko in the future. I hope keiko will also tell cate that she can feel titan x in the past too (or maybe i miss this). For kentaro and isabel, he will working with apex somehow (just a theory).

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

My theories after episode 6 is the transmission got delayed in axis mundi and what it makes possible lee got the signal from past himself is because he touch the light from that rift and zook didnt realize about that.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

But somehow if the time loop or paradox exist, this is could something more to the story and explain more about how the axis mundi works with time plus the world itself.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

It’s so sad that Kentaro couldn't be there to say his last goodbye to Hiroshi because he was looking for a medic to help him. This episode is heartbreaking.

[𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗱. @dthdmn]

They really let Hiroshi die in peace, it was such an emotional farewell for him with both Cate & Keiko till the last moment. Although he did a mistake in the past, he was a good man and such amazing person. Glad he's relief after blaming himself for Billy departure was not true.

Perkara teaser doomsday gua ga kecewa tapi masa yang odyssey sampe miss 2x kali (sebelumnya teaser dan yang kemaren harusnya prologue) di imax smb bekasi, kemaren cuman baby yoda sumpah

[Katsuhiro Harada @Harada_TEKKEN]

I’d like to share that I’ll be leaving Bandai Namco at the end of 2025.
With the TEKKEN series reaching its 30th anniversary—an important milestone for a project I’ve devoted much of my life to—I felt this was the most fitting moment to bring one chapter to a close.

My roots lie in the days when I supported small local tournaments in Japanese arcades and in small halls and community centers overseas.
I still remember carrying arcade cabinets by myself, encouraging people to “Please try TEKKEN,” and directly facing the players right in front of me.
The conversations and atmosphere we shared in those places became the core of who I am as a developer and game creator.

Even as the times changed, those experiences have remained at the center of my identity.
And even after the tournament scene grew much larger, many of you continued to treat me like an old friend—challenging me at venues, inviting me out for drinks at bars.
Those memories are also deeply precious to me.
In recent years, I experienced the loss of several close friends in my personal life, and in my professional life I witnessed the retirement or passing of many senior colleagues whom I deeply respect.
Those accumulated events made me reflect on the “time I have left as a creator.”
During that period, I sought advice from Ken Kutaragi—whom I respect as though he were another father—and received invaluable encouragement and guidance.
His words quietly supported me in making this decision.

Over the past four to five years, I’ve gradually handed over all of my responsibilities, as well as the stories and worldbuilding I oversaw, to the team, bringing me to the present day.
Looking back, I was fortunate to work on an extraordinary variety of projects—VR titles (such as Summer Lesson), Pokkén Tournament, the SoulCalibur series, and many others, both inside and outside the company.
Each project was full of new discoveries and learning, and every one of them became an irreplaceable experience for me.
To everyone who has supported me, to communities around the world, and to all the colleagues who have walked alongside me for so many years, I offer my deepest gratitude.
I’ll share more about my next steps at a later date.
Thank you very much for everything.

【Postscript】
Although I will be leaving the company at the end of 2025, Bandai Namco has asked me to appear at the TWT Finals at the end of January 2026, so I expect to attend as a guest.

For 30 years I kept saying, “I’ll do it someday,” and never once performed as a DJ at a tournament event.
So instead, I will be releasing—for the first and last time—a 60-minute TEKKEN DJ-style nonstop mix (DJ mix), personally edited by myself, together with this announcement.
Listening to it brings back many memories.
Thank you again, sincerely, for all these years.

[日本語版 (Japanese version)]
このたび、2025年末をもちまして、私はバンダイナムコを退職することにいたしました。
長く携わってきた『鉄拳』シリーズが30周年という大きな節目を迎え、ひとつの区切りとして最もふさわしい時期であると考えたためです。

私の原点は、日本のゲームセンターや、海外コミュニティの小さな講堂やコミュニティセンターで、まだ小規模なトーナメントをサポートしていた時代にあります。
アーケード筐体を自ら運び込み、「鉄拳もぜひ遊んでみてほしい」と声をかけながら、目の前の参加者と向き合った日々。
あの場で交わした言葉や空気が、私という開発者の核を形作りました。
時代が変化しても、あの経験が自分の中心にあります。
そしてトーナメントシーンが大きく成長した後も、皆さんは旧知の友人のように私に声をかけ、会場で対戦したり、バーで『一緒に飲もう』と誘ってくれました。
それらもまた、大切な思い出です。

ここ数年間、私生活においては友人達との死別があり、仕事においては、私が尊敬する多くの先輩方の引退や逝去に触れてきました。
そうした出来事の積み重ねが、私に『開発者として残された時間』について考える契機を与えました。
その過程で、私がもう一人の父親のように敬愛する久夛良木健さんにも相談し、貴重な助言と励ましのお言葉をいただきました。
この言葉もまた、今回の決断を静かに後押しするものとなりました。

そして、この4〜5年をかけて私の担ってきたすべての業務やストーリーや世界観、そして責務をチームに段階的に引き継ぎ、今日に至ります。
振り返れば、VR作品（サマーレッスンなど）や『ポッ拳』、ソウルキャリバーシリーズをはじめ、自社他社問わず数多くのプロジェクトに携わる機会に恵まれました。
いずれのプロジェクトも新しい発見と学びに満ち、かけがえのない経験となりました。

これまで支えてくださった皆様、世界中のコミュニティの皆様、そして長年ともに歩んできた仲間たちに深く感謝申し上げます。
次の歩みについては、改めて皆様にお伝えいたします。
これからも、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

+あとがき
2025年末をもって退職致しますが、2026年1月末のTWT FINALには顔を出してほしいと会社からお願いされていることもあり、FINALにはゲストとして顔を出すと思います。
これまで30年間『いつかやるよ』と言い続けてやってこなかったトーナメントイベントでのDJですが、その代わりとして“最初で最後のDJ風60分ノンストップ鉄拳ミックス（私による初編集DJ mix）”も、今回のポストに合わせて公開します。
