Introduction

Jinpachi Mishima is the final boss in Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. In both games, Jinpachi is unplayable. However, Jinpachi is a playable character in the PlayStation 3 release of Dark Resurrection, which is called Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online. He will be making his return as a playable character in the upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Jinpachi is the original founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu and the one who eventually announced The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. After Heihachi Mishima betrayed him and stole the Mishima Zaibatsu from him, Jinpachi was imprisoned in a chamber under the mishima estate for 40 years. He escaped when an explosion broke the seal restraining him and he managed to break free from his prison. He gains inhuman strength because he becomes possessed by an evil force.

On Twitter, many fans ask the Tekken creator (Katsuhiro Harada) of Jinpachi and the Devil Gene. Harada stated that Jinpachi didn't possess the Devil Gene and that a revengeful ghost possessed him. Interesting though, in both console versions of Tekken 5, Jinpachi's ending it states that he's possessed by the Devil. Also, in his interlude with Heihachi, Heihachi theorise that his father has the Devil's blood. In the Tekken 6 CG art book in the character history section it states that jinpachi has the devil gene, it says that he is a unique link within the mishima bloodline, in which the devil gene appears after him. When fans mention this on katsuhiro harada's twitter page he later reveals that tekken project team dared to mislead fans (sometimes). he also said the Tekken story progresses in 'parallel' and that Tekken only has one canon (story setting) and if tekken only had one canon story, it will be boring. At the end of Tekken 5, Jin Kazama kills Jinpachi and he actually thanks him for his actions.

Jinpachi uses an array of unblockable moves in Tekken 5. One of his unblockable attacks is a fireball that Jinpachi fires from the mouth in his abdomen. Jinpachi will usually fire only one fireball, but he can fire two or more if his opponent is close enough to him. The fireball(s) are best avoided by sidestepping or by laying down on the ground, but can be evaded by other means. He is also able to disrupt an opponent by using a move that stuns their motion, regardless of the opponent being on the ground or airborne. This move leaves the opponent open to any attack Jinpachi decides to throw at them. Jinpachi also has a move in which he absorbs a small part of his opponent's health. Also, after his opponent is launched, he can strike with three Electric Wind Godfists.

Jinpachi does not have the Devil Gene like many fans have believed as stated by Harada on his Twitter page.

Ending

Death: Jinpachi moves around and screams, writhing in pain, for a while before dissolving into dust and disappearing.
The Final Transformation:Jinpachi sadly says, "It looks like nobody was able to stop me." Jinpachi sheds a tear that appears to be blood. The spikes on his back grow longer, and the spikes in his arms grow longer. Jinpachi screams for a while. Jinpachi causes a huge explosion. A beam is shown shooting towards the sky. A black screen is shown, and words (in white) say, "Jinpachi's mind is consumed by the devil as he reaches his final transformation. The world will never be the same." You can unlock this video by either buying it on PSP version, or letting Jinpachi kill you in last round and not to retry.
