[@shifter9633]

At the start when Reina was fighting Jin in the tournament, I thought her goal was to help Jin regain his devil powers and came to the conclusion that threat of life was needed but actually she was just using Jin to test on how to awaken her own devil powers hence why she fights kazuya alone in italy and why she decided to tank the lazer. Really changed the meaning when Reina said "Still not enough from the looks of it" when fighting kazuya in Italy, I first thought she thought that she didn't buy enough time for Claudio's attack but really the threat to her life was the one that was not enough to awaken her

Even though they say she's his daughter, I still suspect that she may actually be a clone of him. She acts a little too much like Heihachi for it to be just idealization, and Heihachi having another bastard child that is also super strong seems unlikely. Maybe she's like some genetic hodgepodge of Heihachi, Kazuya, and Jin.

Well she says herself she’s his daughter and we know heihachis got like 50 illegitimate children. Lars being one and now Reina

Perhaps, she indeed is the daughter but we don't know if she was normally born like many or created to be. Because Heihachi before his death, researched demonic power for his immortality. So if he used one of his children as an experimental subject was highly possible.

my theory is she, when she got hit by Kazuya's beam on the island, absorbed part of Azazel's power through that blast. I don't think it's an impossible theory that she is instead the daughter of Kazumi, but I think her design is more Azazel-y than Kazumi-y

What if Heihachi in secret, somehow extracted the devil gene from Kazuya and gave it to Reina. After all Heihachi was always interested in the devil gene power.

[@Savagewolver]

Not really. Heihachi was trying to get rid of it. If he truly wanted the power, he could have extrapolated it from his father, his wife, his son, or even Jin. Heihachi’s whole schtick is being powerful by his own merits. The only time he legit sought magic for himself was the fountain of youth for immortality.

[@jossen495]

But how can she have this power? I thought kazuya has it only, because of kazumi. And reina doesn‘t seem to be kazumi‘s child 🤔

[@JeiJohnson]

Reina is not a lore-friendly character. She's Heihachi's daughter, but is around the same age as Jin or Asuka, having graduating from Mishima Polytechnical School. She calls Jin her "senpai" meaning he's older by a minimum of a year. So Heihachi had to have been getting around some time after Jin was born, even though Kazuya and Lars (and Lee who he adopted) are around the same age. I'm okay with Heihachi having a daughter and even okay with having her just the same age as some of the younger characters. What doesn't sit well with me is that Kazuya got his devil gene from his mother Kazumi Hachijo-Mishima, not his father Heihachi Mishima. The gene is passed down by Kazuya in the direct Mishima bloodline, not Heihachi or his father Jinpachi. It explains why Lars, the half-brother of Kazuya and the son of Heihachi can't access the devil gene that he doesn't carry. Hachijo is the bloodline where the devil gene started, so Reina having that ability when she's canonically the HALF-sister to Kazuya and the daughter of Heihachi (not Kazumi) makes no sense as he doesn't carry the gene. There are no signs or hints that she was any kind of experimentation in the story of Tekken 8. Maybe it might be retconned in Tekken 9 or some spin-off game, or perhaps elaborated further by a movie or something... But as of now, she's just the daughter of Heihachi. The Mishima Polytechnical branch (the same one that captured Nina Williams) was closed after killing off all the children in failed experiments except for one - Steve Fox, so she couldn't have been experimented on because the division was botched right before her conception, as she is younger than Jin and this took place before Tekken 2. However she was trained as an assassin by the school branch, which Lee seemed to be aware of. She also has no suspicious activities nor background fallacies when they checked her for the King of Iron Fist's 8th Tournament. So canonically through bloodline, nor through experimentation could she have had the devil gene. So unless she is just confused somehow or her background gets retconned, she is a far-cry from being lore-friendly. At least Kazumi from Tekken 7 had a consistent background to make her lore friendly...

[@fridelikakurnia6477]

Reina is an experimented daughter led by Heihachi and Dr. Abel.

One theory of mind says that at the end of Tekken 7 Heihatchi lied to the journalist, that it is the Mashima's is that carry the devil Gene or like another theory says that she may be the x-23 to kazuya's Wolverine.

[@Brooklyntengu]

Several factors to consider: Reina adores Heihachi which means she knew him on a personal level. She knows the Mishima-Style which had to have been taught to her by Heihachi. Heihachi took a liking to Ling Xiaoyu for a reason that could be she reminds him of Reina. I believe he personally raised her in secret as a foil to Kazuya with future offspring should he fail in defeating him.

[@enenra6417]

When Jinpachi died you guys didn't think that devil gene-ogre like demon just vanished into thin air, right? It searched the earth for months finding a new host and with this hot blooded girl dead from Kazuya's beam. She was the perfect person to possess someone who had the desire to kill unlike Jinpachi

[@jamessmith-tr3em]

jinpachi didnt have the devil gene, he was only possessed by some evil spirit during his imprisonment. plus her devil form looks more like the one kazuya and jin has than her grandfather

[@enenra6417]

@jamessmith-tr3em it wasn't an evil spirit in his ending it literally says his mind was taken over by Devil. And in devil jin's interlude he and Jinpachi talk about devil when the only people who knows about it is Kazuya that's because he's being possessed by it and when Jin isn't in his devil form he only knows about the devil gene he has no idea who devil is. Heihachi also knows what is that's because he fought it before and had a conversation with it. When someone enters their devil form, they act completely different from themselves and think they're in control when they're not. In Devil Jin's interlude, he says his will has surpassed Devil when he's not in control of his body. And if it was an evil spirit, He wouldn't be saying, "My name is Jinpachi Mishima. My goal is to destroy all of existence!" If it was an evil spirit, it would've stated its name instead of Jinpachi's. In Jin's interlude (the canon timeline), when Jin tells Jinpachi he has the devil's blood , Jinpachi says, "So that's why my blood is screaming to destroy you!" Harada saying Jinpachi doesn't have the devil gene makes no sense, lol it's the same with the devil gene activating during a near death experience when T3 contradicts this when Jin gets shot in the head and becomes devil jin

[@markjones5672]

​@@enenra6417 After reading that long ass essay where you regurgitated the same point in about 3 ways: no, Jinpachi was never taken over by the Devil Gene. He was possessed by a spirit but it wasn't the Devil Gene. Also, the idea of a near death experience isn't contradicted at all by Jin's Tekken 3 ending. Think of it like the Hulk explanation with Banner: Banner shoots himself through the mouth but he doesn't die. It just activates the Hulk. Same can be said for Jin being shot by Heihachi. Even if you want to continue using that as an argument, it's still easily negated by Kazuya being thrown off a cliff as a kid. He should have died from that fall but as he (somehow) didn't, the near death experience awakened the Devil Gene.

[@unknownTwoALL]

This is completely wrong 😆 first the devil gene only goes to people with the devils blood the hachijo clan 2nd the devil gene went to jin in tekken 3 because kazuya got thrown off the cliff 3rd jinpachi was possessed by a evil spirit. If the devil gene could go to someone lars would have it.

​@@ginoabes3943or picture this a s2 story expansion

[@itsalmost2am525]

I have a crack theory that Heihachi had Kazumi's body preserved somewhere so that he can delve deeper about the devil gene. He was still somehow able to get, preserve, and freeze several of Kazumi's eggs. Which resulted to Reina... Besides, Heihachi had a past history of experimenting with genetics and how the devil gene was passed down. In fact, at first, he thought that the devil gene works like an STD and he could've gotten it (he was wrong with this assumption, as proven by Lars' existence). Also, they did the same thing with Nina, which resulted to Steve, so it's not far off that Heihachi would do that...

[@jamessmith-tr3em]

im pretty sure tekken 4 with kazuya being kept in coma has sth to do with it

[@AlexBelte3002]

He can't since in T4, it's clearly said that he can't melt his blood with Ogre's because he needs the Devil gene, that only Jin and Kazuya have. If he still got Kazumi's body, Tekken 4 may never happened or at least, not that way...

[@shienxiii.ArkSoft]

From everything we see so far, the only possible origin for Reina I think is that Heihachi either had a child with a second wife, lab grown her or adopted her, and experimented the devil gene on her, then train her in the Mishima style. Which explains why she isn't able to use the devil power and why she's in Mishima polytechnic

[@60yashrajgupta98]

She may be a genetically engineered daughter of heihachi and kazumi since she is compatible for devil gene

Either he took another woman of the Hachijo clan (really trying to prove he doesn’t have it) to pound town afterwards, or a hybrid prototype injected with demon juices using his sack seed as base. Or she really was born because the old man got freaky, and azazel jumped ship in her after Kazuya blasted her ass, who knows

[@GeneralBulldog54]

So Reina has to be Heihachi's cloned daughter. After discovering Lars didn't inherit devil powers from him, Kazuya came back from the dead being thrown from a cliff as a child after having devil powers inherited by his late wife Kazumi and discovering that Jin can't be controlled it makes sense he'd make someone unquestionably loyal to him with powers of the Devil. Having his death be the catalyst of her inherited will as both a Mishima and devil it's almost too good not to be true.

Reina is still new to the roster and her backstory is shrouded still. I have reasons to believe, that she is bioweapon with a memory(probably false) about Heihachi being her dad. Her fighting style, spirit, character as well as her uncanny ability to think like her dad could be a genetic programming and data from previous Iron Fist Tournaments in order to study her opponents.

Not only did he not use a metaphor as pulling X ass of the fire, which at the same time, metaphor as a way to color someone speech, which is underserved because he didn't. Also in the game subtitle, he says "My ass" (instead of saving us), it's simply not accurate, he said "saved all of us".

Jun is alive, Harada confirmed it, basically she defeated the Ogre and was recovering for years, but is back now. As for Heihachi, he didn't want to get rid of the devil gene, he wanted it for himself, thinking it would grant him even more power and eternal youth.

Though I doubt it'll be DLC since I don't think there are any fighting games that used DLC to expand on story so it'll likely be Tekken 9. We definitely need backstory on Reina since it looks like she dealt with Jin and Kazuya to learn more about the devil form and on how to trigger her own. Like, since we seen that Jinpachi is definitely not fully Human so would this mean that whatever Jinpachi is, those genes skipped past Kazuya and become inherited by Reina? Since it is possible for genes to skip a generation for bloodlines. Lastly, I must admit, I love how the shadow of Heihachi haunts some of the people in the game.

[@linkthemastah29]

Guilty Gear Strive did with the story that came out during season 2

[@PatrickProductions12]

MK11 also did a massive story expansion, it wasn't great but it did happen

[@DubbzHD]

My theory is that she is Kazuya's daughter and similar to Jin, Heihachi took her in and raised her, so she classes him as a father figure. Makes more sense with her age (being younger than Jin) as opposed to being the daughter of Kazumi or clone theory. Makes her legit of carrying the devil gene (unless she is a descendant of another bloodline that Azazel gave the gene to).

[@ballingaming123]

She has the devil gene but idk how because it’s not a Mishima trait

[@ryankwon8785]

Theory: Reina is a scientific byproduct (cloning and genetics) of Heihachi Mishima's attempts to replicate the devil gene and make it a weapon. However, it turns out to be a failure since Heihachi cannot make her as powerful as Kazuya and Jin.

[@raenpadron3207]

She's probably a clone of Heihachi and Kazumi, that's why she has the devil gene and heihachi's move set, She's basically a perfected Kazuya.

[@rbermea]

Looks like a new demon has appeared. In her ending, after Yggdrasil's forces apprehended Kazuya Mishima, Reina says she's gonna rebuild the Mishima Zaibatsu.

[@vizardkurosaki15]

I do think she is a true Mishima and not a clone simply because like Jin sees a overshadow of Heihachi in Reina; Kazuya sees an over shadow of Heihachi in Lars which to me doesn't seem like a coincidence

[@MrYannis1987]

She has to be Kazumi's daughter also in order to have devil genes ,but Kazumi was killed when Kazuya was not even 5 years old. Kazuya is now 50 yo... something doesn't seems right. Maybe she is a clone after all cause she is very young

[@joemer7080]

Tekken Universe: No Language Barrier mode..

[@TheSabr]

Hot take: I don’t think Reina having the Devil Gene is canon. Unless specified that she came from Kazumi as well, the cutscenes where she gained them could be considered as part of her headcanon, much like the end cutscene to her story

[@NiteFall7]

When you a hyper active aunt who's younger than you😊

[@SashaSlvt]

i just can’t believe im seeing a child of heihachi that actually has some love for him.

[@purplekey9330]

I cant help but feel i missed somwthing pretty big between the Jack 8 scene and the throne room

[@AnimeRush739]

played Tekken when I was a kid, does it worth buying now? i have no clue because im not play fighting games at all. but the graphics and story look intresting

[@TheHumanDescensionist]

The only possible reason for this is that Heihachi got laid with Eliza before moving to Kazumi. And Eliza isn't truly a "vampire" but rather one of the original devils during Azazels Prime. Heihachi was probably taking care of her while Eliza was sleeping for god knows how long and since she's that sleepy it wouldn't be suprising the Heihachi got another woman, and when Reina was strong enough, she left heihachi to train on her own or Heihachi left her when he knows she was strong enough She's probably older than Kazuya but since we're talking about Eliza here, she would look the same

[@D.v-O4u2c]

my theory? reina is heihachis daughter technically but i think shes more so a clone of kazuya like how steve is technically a clone of nina but with extra steps. given the tekken lore i assume she respects heihachi over kazuya because of what kazuya has done.

[@phosph6205]

Quite reasonable. Remember the Kazuya here is already a clone by G-corp, and a female version of Kazuya indeed pocessses devil gene while at same time being technically Heihachi's daughter. Also I guess she somehow has Heihachi's memory since she knows certainly too much sometimes.

[@vapor.6292]

@@phosph6205 I'm sorry but, since when is Kazuya a clone?

[@AceReject]

I honestly thought she Was going to be Kazuya's child, It'll be interesting to see how her story unfolds.

[@batanglaboytv9629]

jin was like fuck off who the hell is you

[@noxiemerald1981]

someone can explain me how she got the devil gene please ? I thought the devil gene came from the kazumi mishima not heihachi....

[@gavo117]

I thought the last game showed that the devil gene came from Kazumi and didn't Heihachi create Lars in a test tube with just his own DNA to confirm this? Reina having the devil gene makes no sense. I'm so confuse.

[@DragonsDenFitness]

Reina to Jin: “Hey bro, let’s see which of us possesses a stronger demonic spirit!” Jin to Reina: “Sis, I finished off the old man, don’t force my hand, I don’t want to kill the only remaining family that I have left.”

[@unknownTwoALL]

Idk if anyone noticed but reina fought jin to learn how the devils power works. Then allowed kazuya to hit her with his laser to awaken her devil power

[@Asupernaruto1]

Is she really a mishima?

[@ahmedalanzi.]

yes

[@fridelikakurnia6477]

Reina is actually an experiment children lead by Heihachi and Dr. Abel. Also Heihachi has 25 illegitimate son because of his ambition and the chaos never ending because of Heihachi.

[@2099runner]

Kinda don't understand, where does reina get her devil gene? Heihachi doesn't has any devil gene right?

[@loushia16]

The irony of Heihachi having a child after Kazuha is the fact that she has the Devil Gene too. I can't help but laugh at the thought of Heihachi making the same mistake twice. At that point it's not even a mistake, he just can't help himself.

[@TheSatansPotato]

My theory for Reina is that she is an altered female clone of Kazuya like X-23 and Wolverine which is why she sees herself as the daughter of Heihachi but also has the devil-gene

[@ahmedraden3328]

Kasumi: I do have a son, but I dont remember had a daughter from Heihachi.. Heihachi: (Evil laugh)

[@kondwanitshuma1601]

Some thing feels messed up ,Heihachi had a child who is younger or the same age as Jin and jin's father is Kazuya ,which makes Rin be jin's Aunt

Damn. Heihachi is a shooter. He managed to get another kid in with possibly 23 more kids down the line.

How did she get the devil gene like by some experiments

[@ridermanyt8029]

I wouldn't say she get it from Kazumi. Kazumi died like many years ago I think she's obviously from some kind of experiments

[@wew123tttt]

Mashima...... Man this family is f*ck up.......let me guess if there is a tekken 9 final boss will be reina... So this mean jin and kazuya team up vs reina......i think lars will join in the fight... As reina punching bag..... I keep forgetting lars also a mashima.... Cause his the only mashima i know didn't throw out of the cliff or volcano.......

[@earlgumban]

Heihachi is a Mishima but doesn't have devil powers like his son and grandson Kazuya and Jin. The gene came from Hachijo Clan where Kazumi (Heihachi's wife) came from. Let's not forget Jinpachi but it's a mystery to me where he gets that power.

[@earlgumban]

@@iamfighterman9646 the answer will be known in the future but for now were stuck with theories based on the lores so far. Edit: Lars there a high possibility that he is Heihachi's, but one thing is for sure he is one of the illegitimates like Lee.

[@Lemont5236]

​@@iamfighterman9646 he doesn't have the devil gene. The purpose for Heihachi having Lars conceived was to prove that there was no devil gene on his side.
