Introduction

Devil Jin (デビル仁 Debiru Jin) was first introduced in Tekken 5 and has returned for every subsequent game. Though Devil Jin made his first playable appearance in Tekken 5, he made his first non-playable appearance in Tekken 3 in Jin's ending. Devil Jin is Jin Kazama consumed by the Devil Gene, passed on to him by his father. According to Devil Jin's Tekken 5 prologue, Jinpachi Mishima, escaping captivity when Hon-Maru fell, triggered the evil that had been building up inside Jin.

His appearance is very similar to that of his human form with added inhuman traits including horns, wings, tattoos, a bone like horns protuding from his forearms, and light yellow irises. Many of Devil Jin's outfits have him wearing generally black pants, with his right leg having a flame graphic on it, covering up to his mid-thigh section. Devil Jin wears gauntlets coloured the same as the flame on his pants and shoes coloured the same the respective leg.

Gameplay

While Jin fights using Traditional Karate, Devil Jin has retained the Advanced Mishima-Style Karate as a fighting style.

Story

Prologue (In-Game Text)
When the devil gene takes over Jin Kazama... Jinpachi was able to escape captivity as Hon-Maru fell. This triggered the evil that had been building up inside Jin. Two months later... evil has completely consumed Jin's mind and a deadly force has awakened...
Interludes (Unofficial Synopsis)
Stage 8 Asuka Kazama: Devil Jin tells Jinpachi to give "it" to him. Jinpachi replies saying that Devil Jin has no manners, thus he should die. Asuka then steps in, trying to find out what's going on. At first, Devil Jin only slightly turns his head in her direction but then averts his gaze. Asuka insists on not being ignored and pleads with him to listen to her. Devil Jin laughs at her, tells her to shut up, calls her "insignificant", and asks if she thinks she can stop him. Asuka admits she does not know what is going on but feels Devil Jin's a bit too cocky. She makes a rude bent elbow gesture at him and says she'll put him back in his place. Devil Jin then consents to letting her go first. After defeating Asuka, Devil Jin looks down on her and says that she has no right to interfere with their plans.
Stage 9 Jinpachi Mishima: Jinpachi calls Devil Jin a fool and that he cannot defeat Jinpachi after giving in to the Devil. Devil Jin seems genuinely confused by the notion, and says Jinpachi does not understand and that he has taken full control of the Devil. Jinpachi replies that he must make that power his, and the two fight.
Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
After having defeated Jinpachi, Devil Jin picks him up and absorbs his power, causing Devil Jin to mutate. Devil Jin's muscles expand suddenly, bursting through both of his gauntlets. His horns and wings grow longer, and he is covered with long fur. His power becomes so massive that it triggers a violent explosion, Devil Jin stands in the center of it, howling.

Devil Within: Devil Jin is featured in the "Devil Within" side game in Tekken 5. While the player controls Jin Kazama, they are given the opportunity to change into Devil Jin by pressing the "L1" button and the "Triangle" button at the same time when the "Devil Gauge" is full while using Jin. As with the regular modes in Tekken 5, Devil Jin's moves are quite different than Jin's in Devil Within.

Trivia

  • Devil Jin can be unlocked one of ways, by completing the "Devil Within" minigame, fighting 200 battles in any mode or by completing story mode 6 times after unlocking Heihachi.
  • Devil Jin's sub-boss is Asuka Kazama.
  • Devil Jin is the sub-boss for nearly every character in Tekken 5's / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection's "Story Mode." The exceptions are himself, Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, Asuka Kazama, Raven, Hwoarang, and Wang Jinrei.
  • In his ending before he absorbs Jinpachi's power, Devil Jin is shown wearing chains on one of his arms and one around his waist, but as soon as he starts absorbing, the chain on his arm is gone. When Devil Jin breaks both of his gauntlets, the chains that were on his waist are also gone.
  • Devil Jin's only intro quote is "Kyoufu wo oshiete yarou!" The official translation provided is "Fear the wrath of God," though the actual translation is usually "I shall teach you fear!". In the English dub of Street Fighter X Tekken during his Devil Beam super art, Jin says "I shall teach you fear!", confirming it as the official translation, though the Japanese version now has him say "Kyoufu wo atai te yarou!"
  • In Asuka's Tekken 5 ending, Devil Jin is wearing studded gloves but once he reverts back to normal, his gloves change to the spiral-pattern gloves. Whether this indicates that Devil Jin's gloves are part of his transformation, or if it was simply a mistake by the animators is unknown.
  • Some of Devil Jin's customizable items can make him look like Devilman, from artist Go Nagai.
  • In pre-rendered animated videos and CG images, Devil Jin has a chain wrapped around his waist, left leg, and right arm, but in gameplay and real-time cut scenes, these are not seen, and they are merely customization items in customization mode (only one of these can be equipped at one time).
  • Devil Jin is the only playable character that only has one pre-fight animation.
  • His ending is similar to Kazuya's Tekken 4 ending where Kazuya absorbs power from Jin and then transforms into Devil Kazuya.

Under the control of the devil gene, Jin Kazama's power rivals that of a demon.
Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
Devil Jin has defeated Azazel. He then retrieves Azazel's orb, which absorbs his devil power and he turns him back to his normal state. Zafina, who was standing nearby, picks up the orb and carries an unconscious Jin outside. She returns to temple with the doors closing behind her, and the site collapses.

Trivia

  • Devil Jin is the only playable character that only has one pre-fight animation.
  • In the Scenario Campaign mode of Tekken 6, Devil Jin is a boss on the Nightmare Train stage. This stage is notoriously difficult. The preferred method of defeating him here is knocking him off of the train.

Devil Jin appears towards the end of the movie but during this time, Jin can already control his devil gene as he was shown with full control in the movie. He used the transformation after Devil Kazuya taunted him. He first starts in a monster-ish form and devil Kazuya is still winning the fight. But after a while he transforms to a humanoid form and is able to defeat Kazuya. He then talks to Xiaoyu and leaves off into the distance as Devil Jin.

Character Trivia

  • Asuka Kazama seems to have the ability to under Devil transformation,a trait she shares with her relative, Jun Kazama.
  • Jin cannot control his Devil transformation unlike his father.
  • His name is a pun for the Devil Gene. This was further proven in Tekken 6 if the player selects him at the character select.
  • While Devil Jin is not actually in Street Fighter X Tekken, Jin's Devil Beam super art ends with him flying into the air with black, aura-like wings (unlike Devil Jin's physical, angel-esque wings) and blasting the opponent with a signature Devil Beam, and he transforms into Devil Jin in his debut trailer after Bison attacks Xiaoyu.
  • Based from the dialogue in the Scenario Campaign Devil Jin seems to suffer head pain when Hwoarang, Asuka or Xiaoyu is in his sight. (Likely from trying to put together the scattered memories of his human self)
