Storyline
Battle for the Blade
Fifty years ago, a mysterious weapon constructed from an unknown material was discovered in the remains of an ancient German castle.

The weapon came to be known as EHRGEIZ. It was presented to the winner of a tournament that determined the world's greatest fighter. In time, it became the name and symbol of the tournament itself.

In the Middle East, under the command of a particular organization, an excavation site was constructed to explore the ancient ruins believed to hold the secret to immortality. However, the key to the final door of the ruins could not be found. Now, a legend has surfaced among the people, hinting that the mysterious stone embedded within EHRGEIZ may be the key to this door.

The ambitious, hoping to finally unveil the mystery of the ancient ruins, are now set on obtaining EHRGEIZ in the Championship tournament.

Anticipation rises as the aircraft informing the public about the EHRGEIZ Championship Tournament flies around the world. The exhilaration of the participants begins to pulse through the air.

Fun Facts
Family reunion canceled due to attempted murder
The character name data in both the arcade and PlayStation versions of Ehrgeiz list 三島平八 (Heihachi Mishima) and 一八DEVIL (Kazuya Devil), giving further credence to the notion that Godhand is a member of the Tekken Mishima clan.
Little Dog Rio
In Ehrgeiz' ranking screen, sometimes Jo can be seen chasing after a dog with a massively long tail. Using a cheat device on the PlayStation version can make this dog playable. Its name is Rio and it has no special attacks, but shares all of hits basic moves with Django.
