[edit] Introduction

Devil Jin is a character in the Tekken fighting game series. Devil Jin represents Jin Kazama after the Devil Gene takes over him (Jin). Devil Jin was first featured as a playable character in Tekken 5, which was released on the PlayStation 2 console in 2005. However, Devil Jin made cameo appearances in Jin's Tekken 3 ending and Jin's Tekken 4 Epilogue. According to Devil Jin's Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection prologue, Jinpachi Mishima escaping captivity when Hon-Maru fell triggered the evil that had been building up inside Jin. As Devil Jin, "Evil has utterly consumed Jin's mind." This is stated in Devil Jin's Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Prologue. Devil Jin wants to absorb Jinpachi Mishima's "Devil" power, as seen during Devil Jin's Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Story mode.

[edit] Behind The Evil Of Jin

Though Jin's Devil self made it's official debut in Tekken 5, he first appeared in Tekken 3. After defeating True Ogre (Ogre in his true form) in the final round of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Jin was suddenly attacked by Heihachi's Tekken Force and was shot multiple times. Jin slowly succumbed to death, yet as he tried to call for help, his grandfather shot him in the head with his pistol, thus effectively killing Jin. However, when Heihachi turned his back and walked away, he saw the bodies of his Tekken force before him, and quickly turned around to see Jin in his Devil form. Angered by betrayal, Devil Jin grabbed Heihachi and slammed him through a stone wall and violently hurled him into the ground before flying off into the night.

It would be two years since the events of the third tournament, and Heihachi had not seen or heard from his grandson ever since. He couldn't even track him down. Jin was actually in Brisbane, Australia. Jin was living a new life there, and training under the guidance of a dojo master in the traditional art of Karate. During this time, the results of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 came in, claiming Jin as the official champion; but Jin did not wish to be identified as the champion, hence why he wore his hooded jacket. While Jin was undoing what he learned from his grandfather, he trained intensively in the art of Traditional Karate. He was able to suppress his Devil Gene also. For one, he didn't want to establish any close relationships with anyone other than the Dojo Grand master, for concern of their safety, should they figure out his dark secret, and he tried to control his anger (since the Devil Gene is usually triggered off with anger.). This wasn't an easy task, as the stinging memory of his grandfather's betrayal often enraged Jin, yet Jin worked hard at it. For two years straight, it seemed that Jin was able to compress his Devil Gene once and for all.

Or so it seemed...

After two years of silence, Jin entered The King Of Iron Fist Tournament 4 with the intention of destroying his evil bloodline by murdering his grandfather, his father (it is unknown how he knew his father was alive), and then himself. During the tournament, Jin was captured by Heihachi's Tekken Forces, and was held captive in Hon-Maru. In other events, Heihachi had defeated Kazuya in the tournament, and then lead him to Jin. When they arrive, after a brief conversation, Kazuya uses some of his supernatural power to knock Heihachi out of the room, where he watched what happened afterwards with great interest.

In Jin's dream, he was challenged by his father to "give in to the anger", in an attempt to unleash his Devil Gene (in which Kazuya wanted himself.). Jin broke free and violently attacked his father, knocking him unconscious. Heihachi then challenged Jin to a fight himself, in which Jin angrily accepted. Jin then defeated Heihachi and proceeded to kill him, which then began to unleash his Devil Gene even further. However, a vision of his mother Jun prevented Jin from killing Heihachi, as well as Kazuya. Jin flies away once more.

Moments later, Hon-Maru was under attack by Jacks, and was ultimately destroyed by an explosion, which unleashed Jinpachi Mishima; whom was in his Devil form also. This would trigger Jin's own Devil Gene and became uncontrollable, leading to the destruction of a forest. The Devil Gene was in full effect and completely took over Jin, despite trying to battle it's influence.

Two months later, evil utterly consumed Jin's mind and Devil Jin was born. He set himself an evil task: Find and kill Jinpachi and absorb his power (it hasn't been revealed if Jinpachi is in possession of the Devil Gene.).

[edit] Trivia

Devil Jin can be unlocked in two ways in the PlayStation 2 version of the game: You can complete the "Devil Within" minigame, or you can play 200 games in any mode.
Devil Jin is considered to be a popular character amongst fans - perhaps even better than the original Devil form of Kazuya.
Devil Jin's black wings take a feathery-bird/angel form. This was rumored that Jin may have a good side despite being completely evil in his devil form. This also suggests that Angel may be within Jin, fighting his evil influence from Devil (much like how he did with Kazuya). However, it is not confirmed whether or not this is true.
Jin's main quote as Devil Jin is "Kyoufu wo oshiete yarou!" The official translation provided is "Fear the wrath of God," however, he is actually saying something more along the lines of "I will teach you the meaning of fear." Other mannerisms (upon victory) show Devil Jin lifting his opponent up by using telekinesis (only seen in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection), absorbing energy into his wrist while snarling, shooting a laser towards the sky while a lot of energy appears in front of his body, and evilly laughing.
It is interesting to note that while Jin spent two years unlearning his original fighting style (Advanced Mishima-Style Karate) in favor for Traditional Karate, he maintains his former fighting style while in his devil form. Another strange finding with Jin is his attire in Tekken 5: his colors while in his normal state are black with a white flame, and he wears spiral-patterned gloves, a martial arts belt, and footpads (he fights bare-foot), whereas his devil form is a remixed version of his original colors: Black leather-like pants with a red flame, and this time, he is wearing a brown belt, studded gloves, and boots (only one is red and the other is black-the red one has studs whereas the black does not). No official explanation has been given to demonstrate this, although one would think that the two Jins were given different attires to not only separate the two characters but to also demonstrate their uniqueness- especially in Devil Jin's case. In Asuka's ending in Tekken 5, once Jin was reverted back to normal, his gauntlets changed into the spiral-patterned gloves his normal self wears in Tekken 4 and Tekken 5. This suggests that as Jin transforms into a devil, his attire changes.
According to Asuka Kazama's ending, she can undo Jin's Devil self by simply touching him. Also, in Asuka's ending, when Jin awoke in his normal state, he had no idea where he was or what he was doing (which was demonstrated by his loss for awareness). This suggests that as Devil Jin, Jin has no awareness of what he is actually doing.
Devil Jin is the sub-boss for nearly every character in Tekken 5's "Story Mode." The exceptions are himself, Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, Asuka Kazama, Raven, Hwoarang, and Wang Jinrei.
In Devil Jin's ending, before Devil Jin absorbs Jinpachi's power, Devil Jin is shown wearing chains (one 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.
In Kazuya Mishima's ending from Tekken Tag Tournament, Kazuya defeats Jin Kazama, and Kazuya walks away. Suddenly, Jin transforms into Devil Jin, and the two prepare to fight again. Something similar occurs in Tekken 2, where after Kazuya defeats Devil, Devil rises again, and they fight again.
Jin cannot control his Devil form whereas his father, Kazuya, can.
Devil Jin's sub-boss is Asuka Kazama in Tekken 5.
Some of Devil Jin's Customizable items can make him look like Devilman, from artist Go Nagani.
Devil Jin's role in Jin's victory against Jinpachi in Tekken 5 is not yet known, however Jin's behavior in Tekken 6 (using the Mishima Zaibatsu to take over the world) suggests that he is now Devil Jin, even when not physically transformed, or under Devil Jin's control.
In pre-rendered animated videos in Tekken 5, Devil Jin has a chain wrapped around his waist and his left leg, 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). His Tekken 6 model does have the chains on waist and leg by default.
Devil Jin is the only playable character to have his own stage(s). In Tekken 5, his stage is the Cathedral. In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, his stage is the Winter Palace.
The markings that appear on Devil Jin's face, chest, and back are symmetrical.

[edit] Story

[edit] Tekken 5

Gallery - Movelist - Juggle Notations - Juggle Videos - Fan Art - Strategy

Tekken 5 Devil Jin.

Jin, overcome by the devil gene.

With the destruction of Honmaru, Jinpachi was finally released from his long imprisonment. Seeming to coincide with this event, the Devil Gene within Jin became activated.

Two months later, Jin was completely taken over by the Devil Gene, transforming into an evil destructive life form.

[edit] Interludes

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 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, 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.

Note: In Asuka's interlude with Jinpachi, Devil Jin was weak. He is clearly struggling and says he'll take everything, then is quickly knocked unconscious as Jinpachi bats him away.

[edit] Ending Animation

It is not yet known if this ending is canon. Considering current events in Tekken 6, Devil Jin may have actually been the one to beat Jinpachi and have the ability to transform into Jin Kazama at will.

After having defeated Jinpachi, Devil Jin picks him up and absorbs his power, causing Devil Jin to mutate, possibly into his "complete" form. This ending is similar to Kazuya's Tekken 4 ending where Kazuya absorbs power from Jin and then transforms into Devil Kazuya.

Devil Jin also appeared in Hwoarang's ending in Tekken 5 (Whether it is canon or not is unknown). In Hwoarang's ending, he manages to defeat Jin and is seen riding on his motorcycle on a Korean freeway. While riding, he runs into Devil Jin, who uses telekinesis to destroy his motorcycle in an explosion. Hwoarang is thrown off his bike, rolls on the ground, and then looks up to see Devil Jin. Hwoarang mutters something, stands up, prepares his stance as though to fight, and smiles. The scene then ends.
