This could have been any fighting game saga with a “normal” story, but instead they decided to include a somewhat complex plot dealing with genetic engineering, biological weapons, demons, demonic possession, summons, mega-corporations, etc. They have done this with other productions with a fighting theme, such as Dragon Ball, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter or The King of Fighters, in practically all of them there are demonic entities and complex themes that move away from the fight itself.
In this case, I show a research program within the game called the Devil-Human Integration Program, which sought to fuse human cells with demon genes to create a kind of hybrid through genetic engineering.
The first scene with the doctor is not directly related to the project of mixing human DNA with demon cells, the injection was for another purpose, but I decided to include it because of the idea that it conveys about a rebirth after receiving an injection.
What is the purpose of making genetic engineering and demons a mainstay in the story of these games?
