He is currently the only character to be able to utilize a Wall Bound in the middle of a juggle, similar to Geese’s previous status as the only character to have the Wall Bound mechanic back in Season 1.Additionally, this is also a reference to a viral picture within the community, which had Harada and Michael Murray wear a shirt that said "Don't ask me for shit".The EVO Japan 2019 trailer had him tell Master Raven via walkie talkie, "not to ask him for shit", which is a reference to one of Negan's dialogues with Michonne.Negan comically "persuades" Harada to put him in the next update, to which Harada briskly thumbs up in response. At the end of Negan's second gameplay trailer, he confronts an in-engine Katsuhiro Harada, director and producer of the Tekken series.

However, unlike Geese, Negan’s fate in his original universe is unknown instead of deceased. Much like Geese, Negan’s character in this game is also based on certain universe incarnations where they are still alive.However, it should be noted that Image Comics' role in including Negan in the game was likely minimal or nonexistent, as it seems that AMC fully owns the rights to this particular portrayal of Negan, as only AMC's name is ever included in the official announcements, advertising, trailers, credits, title screen and whatever.Negan’s inclusion in Tekken is possibly due to Bandai Namco (as Namco) having a past collaboration with Image Comics, the American comic book company from which Walking Dead originates from, for a comic adaption of Tekken Tag, Tekken Forever.In his gameplay reveal trailer, the scene in which he first appeared in the television adaptation where he confronted the captured Walking Dead protagonist Rick Grimes (portrayed by Andrew Lincoln) and his group with Lucille is recreated, but with Tekken characters in their place instead.Negan's official character artwork is unique (even among the other DLC guest characters) in that it features a detailed background themed around his stage, and not a generic single color background like the other fighters.Before him, it was Star Wars Legends character in Soulcalibur IV, Starkiller (based on his English voice actor, Sam Witwer).Negan’s character and traits are based on his AMC’s live-action adaption counterpart, rather than his original comic book counterpart, hence his voice actor.In the Japanese dub of The Walking Dead, Negan is voiced by Akio Ōtsuka, who voiced Jack-2 in Tekken: The Motion Picture, while also serving as the series' narrator.He is also the second Image Comics character to appear in a Namco game, following Spawn in the Xbox version of Soulcalibur II.Negan is the first guest character to originate from a non-Japanese franchise, as The Walking Dead originated in America.Negan is the second guest character who originates from a comic book series, the first being Gon.
