Introduction

Lars Alexandersson (ラース・アレクサンダーソン Rāsu Arekusandāson) is a character in the series. He was introduced in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. He is the main protagonist of Tekken 6 and it's side game, the Scenario Campaign mode, along with Alisa Bosconovitch. He has sandy brown hair that is spiked up vertically. His first outfit consists of a red and black armored suit, along with a black cape and a metal emblem of a lion on his chest. His second outfit consists of brown shoes, white pants, a dark gray jacket with a large white design on the top part and an extended collar, and red gloves. Also, Lars has a mobile phone that he talks into, and he speaks Japanese. Lars' tagline is "The one who betrayed his own in order to build a new era." ([3]). The Mishima Zaibatsu started a war against the world. The rise of the G Corporation opposition resulted in a global trail of carnage. In the fray, a large portion of the Zaibatsu's special military unit, the Tekken Force, defected from the organization. Lars Alexandersson led the coup d'état and became a ranking officer in the Tekken Force at a fairly young age due, in part, to his renowned physical and mental ability. Despite this high rank, Lars often fought on the front lines, which made him quite popular among his subordinates. Only he knew the fact that he drew the Mishima bloodline through his father, Heihachi Mishima. Even Heihachi was not aware of this piece of information. Lars is also the biological half-brother of Kazuya Mishima and adopted brother of Lee Chaolan, the grandson of Jinpachi Mishima and the half-uncle of Jin Kazama.

Lars, has a heroic personality as he led the coup d'etat into defeating the Mishima Zaibatsu, he has the fighting spirit and determination of his half-nephew, Jin Kazama, he also has the charisma of his adopted half-brother Lee, he is the complete opposite to Heihachi and Kazuya in terms of personality. He strongly resembles Jin Kazama at times. Lars's actions and surroundings fit the mold of an arch-typical hero. Lars's personality ranges from calm to angry at various moments, and his words and actions are of a soldier. Lars's point is to defeat Jin and declare peace, Lars's is somewhat a second hero after Jin.

Not even Heihachi is aware of this fact.

Thanks to the support of a mysterious investor, Lars was able to found a private military company dubbed "Yggdrasil" in Northern Europe, as a place of stay for his rebel army. -Several months later- An elite squad under Lars' command was attempting a raid on a Mishima Zaibatsu military complex.

Scenario Campaign (Unofficial Synopsis)
Lars Alexandersson plays an important role in this mode, most likely the protagonist of the story. During a mission attacking G-Corp, a JACK detonates killing everyone in his squad but him, however, he loses his memory. He meets a female cyborg named Alisa Bosconovitch. She is shown slumbering in a capsule. Suddenly, G Corporation's Jack-6 robots attack both Alisa and Lars. He attacks a robot and Alisa also retaliates by using her chainsaws to saw off a JACK robot. Some time later, Lars faces against Heihachi and regains his memories and informs Heihachi that he is his illegitimate son. Then, later in the game mode, they meet Lee Chaolan who is the adoptive brother of Lars Alexandersson. Lee is against Kazuya Mishima and G Corporation, just like Lars and Alisa.
Near the end, Jin Kazama, his boss nephew explains about the chaos he started around the world. It was a theory by a woman named Zafina. She said that Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima are the two evil stars of the Devil Gene to awaken Azazel. They both came into combat contact, awakening his spirit. He said that he must put an end to the Mishima Bloodline and save the world from Azazel's existence. Suddenly, Golden Azazel emerges in front of Lars and Jin.
Jin expected this and performed a strong punch towards Azazel's chest (where is known to have been placed by the mysterious orb that seemingly keeps Azazel alive). However, Jin and Azazel fall to their deaths. Later, Nina Williams explains to him about Jin's plot for world domination with the Mishima Zaibatsu and leaves on a Mishima Zaibatsu helicopter. Lars leaves the Mishima Zaibatsu and is acquired with a new job with his new partner Raven. Later, after a bit scene of the credits, Raven's crew reported that they discover the body of Jin Kazama, which was buried in the sand naked. According to his status, it's unknown whether Jin is dead or alive.

Story (Official Website)

A former officer of the Mishima Zaibatsu's special military unit, the Tekken Force, Lars enacted a coup d'état and rebelled against his former employer.

Lars continues to fight despite the loss of his fallen comrades, and his bloody rebellion is nowhere near finished.

The Mishima Saga

Lars first appears at the end of Chapter 1, listening to Heihachi's broadcast around the world of both his return and that of the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Riding a Humvee in the Middle East, he rescues Jin from a group of UN soldiers. Hiding in a facility, he receives a surprise visit from Lee and fully-repaired Alisa. Their reunion is brief as they are soon attacked by the Tekken Force, seeking to take Jin. Distracting the main force for Alisa to take Jin away, Lars and Lee soon become the ones to extract Jin as Alisa is too busy fighting Nina. After Jin's successful extraction, Lars leaves with Lee and Alisa.

After the events, Lars speaks with the narrator of the Mishima Saga, revealing his origins as Heihachi's son, and proof that it was the Hachijou line that brought the Devil Gene to the Mishimas. After he tells his story, he advises the narrator to not hold a grudge against Jin, as he is the key to stopping the war. Much later, after the narrator's meeting with Heihachi Mishima, Lars is told by the Zaibatsu to go to a specific location in order to fetch the narrator.

In the after credits, the Lars, Lee and Alisa meet Jin, having regained consciousness, and begin making plans to stop the war and kill Kazuya.

  • Lars no longer uses a flip phone as he did in Tekken 6, and now uses a touch phone instead.
  • If Lars participates in a fight at Twilight Conflict, then the final round's music will have additional voices of Endigo from the Swedish band, BatAAr.

Prologue (In-Game Text)

As the former charismatic leader of the Tekken Force, Lars staged an uprising from within the Mishima Zaibatsu. Now he is determined to destroy Pandora to prevent any imminent war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and Shadaloo.

Lars: We can't allow Pandora's Box to fall into anyone's hands. Even if that means destroying it.

Alisa: At your service.

In order to prevent both organizations from obtaining Pandora's Box, Lars calls upon Alisa Boskonovitch to aid him in the mission.

Lars: Watch yourself, Alisa, we're heading into hostile territory.

Alisa: Understood.

Rival Battle

As Lars is walking he notices and catches a wobbling Alisa, who informs him that her battery was now low and needed to recharge. Suddenly Lars sees Blanka producing electrical charges and asks him for help, but Blanka angrily calls Lars a stranger and thinks Lars is a bad man. Alisa and Lars now decide to beat him and Sakura first before recharging Alisa.

Ending

Lars and Alisa find Pandora. Lars attempts to damage the box by hitting it but fails to even scratch it. Alisa also attempts by throwing her head and detonating it at the box, successfully destroying. This leaves a confused Lars to say "Mission Accomplished".

Character Trivia

  • A vast majority of Lars' moves are named after military terms or terms used in the field of electronics and electromagnetism. His fighting style has been confirmed as Karate by Namco[4].
  • He shares some physical similarities with Siegfried Schtauffen, a character of the Soulcalibur series, another fighting game series by Namco.
  • Despite being Swedish, Lars speaks Japanese in all movie sequences making him one of the few Tekken characters to not speak their native language.
  • Lars is a playable character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 ([5]). He is wearing the outfit that was designed for him by Masashi Kishimoto ([6]).
  • Fans have compared him to Dragonball's main protagonist, Goku, aside from the obvious hair resemblances, most of his moves are reminiscent of Goku, like Ark Blast(f+1+2), Tesla Gravity (d+3,1), Outpost Blitz (d/f+3=3).
  • Lars is Swedish for Laurence.
  • Lars, in recent times, has a meme of his own starting at Tekken Tag Tournament 2's release which was "#BuffLars". The main spawning of this meme occurred when some of Lars' command list had been examined, and many of his key moves from Tekken 6: BR had been nerfed (Reduced range, tracking, etc). This led to a surge of fans and players jokingly requesting for Lars to be buffed to absurd levels in future installments.
