Devil Jin (TEKKEN)

Devil Jin was first introduced in Tekken 5 and returned to every game released after. Devil Jin represents Jin Kazama after the Devil Gene, an inherent gene of the Mishima family, takes over him. Because of Devil Jin's appearance, more specifically, the black angelic wings, some fans speculate that he is a hybrid between the Devil and Angel. However, Devil Jin made cameo appearances in Jin's Tekken 5 ending, Jin's Tekken 4 Epilogue and Jin's Tekken 3 ending. 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. He was first made playable in Tekken 5 and has returned for all succeeding games. Devil Jin also make appearance in Namco X Capcom in Tekken 4 - Tekken 5 outfit but no wings and no horns.
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 supress 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 for 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 Kazama, 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.
Appearance and Outfits
Devil Jin's appearance is very similar to that of Jin's human form, except Devil Jin has received demonic traits, such as forward pointing horns, feathery wings, tattoos, and horns protuding from his forearm pointing towards his elbow, shoes instead of instep protectors. Devil Jin also has slight costuming changes. Devil Jin has worn a few outfits in the series, as a playable character, each with only slight differences. 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.
In Tekken 5, Devil Jin's player one outfit is very similar to Jin's Tekken 3 outfit, with the exception of his pant's flame being all red and the gauntlets being slightly altered and graphically upgraded. The wings of this outfit are black. He retains all of the standard Devil Jin costuming characteristics as described above. Devil Jin's player two outfit is very similar to Jin's Tekken 5 player one outfit, except for having the standard Devil Jin characteristics described above and coloured shoes according to respective leg. The wings of this costume are white.
In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, the costuming of Devil Jin remains the same except for a change in colour scheme. In his player one outfit, Devil Jin's origional black pants are now changed to a sea green colour, the rest of the outfit is the same. In his player two outfit, Devil Jin's flames and gauntlets are changed from white to a dark blue colour.
In Tekken 6, from what is seen so far, Devil Jin's player one and two outfits is the same as his Tekken 5 player one and two outfit except for the changes to his gauntlets, which seemingly have become more organic, roughened, and horns portruding around the area of his elbow.
