Introduction

Jinpachi Mishima is the final boss in Tekken 5 and a playable character in the future Playstation 3 release of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. In Tekken 5, he is one of the most powerful and difficult characters to defeat as he suffers from the socalled "SNK Boss Syndrome". Jinpachi was the founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and the one who started The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. After Heihachi Mishima betrayed him and stole the Mishima Zabaitsu, Jinpachi was imprisoned in an underground prison for decades. He remained imprisoned until an explosion rocked the seal restraining him, and he managed to break free. He gains inhuman strength because he becomes possessed by an evil force.

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 if his opponent is close enough to him. The fireball/fireballs can only be avoided by sidestepping or by laying down on the ground. Another of Jinpachi's unblockable attacks is a move in which he stuns his opponent, stopping any attack that his opponent throws at him. This move leaves the opponent open to any attack if it hits them. Jinpachi also has a move in which he depletes his opponent's health and increases his health at the same time. Jinpachi is the first Tekken boss that can juggle. After his opponent is launched, he can strike with three Electric Wind Godfists. These attacks are what make Jinpachi more difficult to defeat than previous Tekken bosses.

He cannot be unlocked as a playable character, but this can be achieved by using a cheating device, such as a Gameshark. When it writes a name in japanese, it is 三島 仁八(Mishima Jinpachi) or みしま じんぱち(Mishima Jinpachi)

Story

Tekken 5

Jinpachi Mishima, the founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Jinpachi was once a renowned martial arts master, famous throughout the world. However, after being betrayed by his son, Heihachi Mishima, he lost the Mishima Zaibatsu and faded into obscurity. As Heihachi began to steer the Mishima Zaibatsu into the military industry, Jinpachi plotted a coup d'etat, but he failed and was imprisoned in an underground prison.

For decades, Jinpachi remained imprisoned until the prison seal restraining him weakened after a tremor. Jinpachi, filled with inhuman strength, unleashed all of his power and broke free.

Jinpachi, surrounded by an evil aura, grinned devilishly as his eyes glowed a fiery red.
