Introduction

Devil Is a character in the Tekken series. He has served as the final boss in Tekken 2.

Devil was first introduced to the Tekken series when Kazuya was thrown off a cliff by his father Heihachi (he did so just to test his son's strength, feeling that he was "weak"). As Kazuya was dying, Devil appeared from out of nowhere and offered Kazuya the ultimate power he needed to overthrow his father, in exchange for his soul. Despite knowing this was a dangerous risk, esspecially when it came from a villianious source, Kazuya longed to enact revenge against his father for what he had done to him. Thus, he accepted Devil's deal, and with his life saved, Kazuya was able to plan ahead for his moment of revenge. Interestingly enough, Kazuya's soul wasn't consumed completely by Devil (which lead to an internal struggle against Angel, whom represented Kazuya's good side). The only time Devil had ever left Kazuya was when he tried to inhabit inside the womb of Jun Kazama's unborn child Jin Kazama, but in a epic battle, Jun defeated Devil. Devil then rejoined with Kazuya on the brink of his ressurection, thus narrowly avoiding death.

It is not known whether Devil won the internal struggle against Angel, or whether Angel completely gave up trying to save Kazuya (seeing that Kazuya was driven to evil anyway; given his natural hatred for his father)but since Tekken 4, it looks like Kazuya and Devil act as one entity. However, as demonstrated in Kazuya's Tekken 4 ending, he was able to gain control over Devil, which may demonstrate that Devil could simply be Kazuya's alternative form- yet the same guy (Devil once controled Kazuya, which was demonstrated when Kazuya's eyes were glowing red but seeing that Kazuya could fight Devil's control and revert to his usual self, it could be factual that now Kazuya controls Devil). Of course, whether this is true or not remains to be unseen, but fans alike have theorized that Kazuya and Devil are now one entity under the control of Kazuya (In Tekken 5, Kazuya, at will, changes into his devil form to escape Honmaru).

To avoid confusion with Devil Jin and Jinpachi's Devil form, the devil that inhabits Kazuya is simply referred to as "Devil". No other character carrying the Devil Gene have referred themselves to simply "Devil" except Kazuya.
