The State of Devil Jin in Tekken 8

[@hatto]

SPOILER ALERT . . . . . . . . . . NO WAY I WAS KINDA RIGHT ON THE THEORIES, ON ALL THREE OF THEM

[@هسكز-ح8ن]

Hopefully devil jin keeps “dah” electric sound

[@sliceog710]

Maybe thats why Jin in t8 doesn’t make the “dah” sound with electrics because they are saving that for Devil Jin. Hopefully right.

[@hatto]

Guess I was right lol

[@deadman20023]

It also confirms that the leak is real. now who the fuck is victor he looks like kaz miller if he was older

[@redjux04]

He wasn’t revealed last though

[@hatto]

@@redjux04 well yea cant get them all right, but atleast his reveal in the trailer was the last one and made it seem like he's destined to be the last

[@I-Is-Aymen]

I love DJ so much, I can’t imagine a Tekken without him since he’s been my main from T5. I cannot wait for his announcement so i can pre-order the game.

[@bastinelli443]

I like the angel idea. The reason he couldn't control his devil gene is because he hated his father and he couldn't control his rage. But now his mother is back as his guiding light so maybe the reason he can control it now is because he feels love again.

[@hatto]

SPOILER ALERT . . . . . . . . . . GUESS WHAT ABOUT THE ANGEL PART

[@mankeyking1]

in the beta there's a trench coat option for the avatar customization, that is very similar to what devil jin is wearing in his character icon, but what really says it's devils jin's coat is the red shirt that goes with it has chains around it. (this is me coping and praying my main is in the game btw)

[@Ctrh89]

I think the scene where he’s falling in the water is a “interior dimension” of Jin, like Naruto with Kurama. There are the 2 stages (that looks like distorted version of Yakushima) in Raven trailer that could confirm that idea: the dark one with the giant demon hand and the “underworld” with elements of T6 Jin’s throne chamber (his evil side) and the light one with the chains (his curse) and the ghost of Jin mumbling (ttt opening) and Jun walking around (I think she could be a spirit more than an alive person though)

[@maurice5726]

That's actually a great theory like it's the hint

[@BakedConjurer5]

[@1AdA-Greats]

I was hoping he wasn’t in the game

[@i1irevenanti1i90]

These are definitely valid points, where I was also considering a lot of these things too, with how Devil Jin’s inclusion seems likely to me as well. Surrounding the dynamic of both Jin and Devil Jin, it would make the most sense to include him in this instalment too. In Tekken 5, where Jin was considerably more of a lawfully good character, a lot of emphasis was put on Devil Jin, due to it showcasing a darker take on Jin in comparison. Where he appeared the game’s intro, was made a sub-boss, and appeared in 3 other endings outside of his own. But with T6, Devil Jin fell more into obscurity, where having Jin himself become considerably more villainous became a priority instead. Such as how he stole Devil Jin’s “Fear the wrath of god” intro line, or how he uses devil powers on multiple occasions without having so much as facial markings. So with Jin having much more of a face-turn in T8, that works to make Devil Jin and his personality more pronounced. More evidence for his inclusion involves how in an interview much earlier on, when discussing characters that should be considered for T8’s roster, Micheal Murray did mention how he “Always loved the character of Devil Jin” when he came up. There’s also this last point, when customisation was brought up, they mentioned that characters with horns would have to be accounted for, which implicates Devil Jin.

[@hatto]

Damn, I didn't notice that Jin had the famous fear the wrath of god line in T6. Also didn't know about Murray mentioning Devil Jin which is a big hint to it, plus the horns one, I mean who else would have horns other than Devil Jin and Elisa.

[@hatto]

Do you have sources of the Murray and customization ones? Even just the titles, I just want to see it. Edit: Found the customization one.

[@i1irevenanti1i90]

It’s during this interview, the time stamp being 13mins 15s. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4W1mnytid5shMk&pp=ygUgTWF4aW1pbGxpYW4gZHVkZSB0ZWtrZW4gaW50ZXZpZXc%3D That’s when I became actually optimistic about his return, with how his model and ect look incredibly watered down in T7, compared to T5/T6, I can’t wait to see how they could possibly just give his look a much needed polish.

[@BarSinSong_Nomad]

Maybe i am in the danger zone but i was suprised that I wasn't the only one who want Devil Jin being part of Jin's move instead of a character. Its a personal thing but i just dont like how he looks with the lips, the horns, the hair, the costume and i hate when Jin its dark and Edgy

@@unkn0wnmortaL red skin and horns sometimes with a trident, that's the stereotype i have of a devil

[@norimichio]

Yeah, for me personally, I don't think Devil Jin will be added as a separate character. I think it will just be Jin activating the devil Jin to use its moves and power. As we see every time jin in t8 makes a move that only devil jin would do, we see a shadow of devil jin's wings in the back of jin, signifying that he is using or controlling the devil jin, and adding him would make jin activating or using devil jin's moves mid-fight unnecessary because those moves are on a different character already, unless devil jin uses normal jin's moves as well, and maybe at some point in the campaign, jin activates the full devil jin itself for some fights, kind of like an exclusive character.

[@sky-oq5mr]

He's already is.....he's literally shown in the roster leak and everyone in that leak has been shown in order.

@@gennadiosgena7842 Just like how Armor King made no sense in Tekken 7 because King had some of his moves, right? Get over it, dude. Jin and Devil Jin have had totally different move lists and playstyles for nearly 20 years now. Slapping a few of Devil Jin's moves onto regular Jin doesn't invalidate a whole character.

[@gennadiosgena7842]

[@AshSlave1]

[@XBorg04]

Could you imagine if DVJ does appear in tekken 8, his heat stance has regular jin movies

[@ShayzenDG]

That’s goofy. Devil Jin better have reworked moveset with Mishima key moves

[@Rortaa]

Angel could be cool. If I'm correct, she represented Kazuya's good side, no? From what we can hypothesize with Jun's inclusion, she obviously wants to stop all of this and wants both to save of them, most notably Kazuya. You even see him sort hesitate in their pre fight intro before entering the fighting stance.

[@sky-oq5mr]

She was in the leaks too

[@zaselimgamingvideos]

The reason he will be the last reveal is that he is Tekken 8😊, if you look at it Devil Jin is the main character as the luke skywalker to Devil Kazuya's darth Vader. Tekken story line for the most part has always been related to Devil (Gene). So it is only fiting that one of them is the protagonist and the other one is the villain. I always thought and wanted to some extent for Devil Jin to turn into Angel Jin at the end because if you look at his wings they resemble angel wings but in black kind of like a fallen angel which the devil/s originally were. It can also be the redemption for the fallen (Devil Jin) to rise again (as an angel again). So it is highly unlikely but the most cool one to turn Devil Jin into the Angel Jin as his true (awakened) form even if it by the end of the tekken 8 story and then we can have him as Angel Jin from tekken 9.

[@gennadiosgena7842]

Devil jin makes no sense to be revealed jin have devil jin's moves rage art and win pose in his trailer

[@All-Muscle]

Hype for Devil Jin ❤.

[@LordRaptor]

Anyone who actually played Tekken 8 could attest that regular Jin still very much feels like the same Jin we've had since Tekken 4, with minor changes as usual, the Omen stance is just reworked, most of the moves he can do in Heat mode are ones he was able to do in Tekken Tag 2 while tagging with a Mishima, it just uses different properties, as for story, I doubt there's gonna be an actual separation, Devil Jin always serves as either a transformed Jin or a 'what if' scenario, I'd assume that at most, we're gonna see Jin fight his 'inner demon' as a way to prepare for a rematch with Kazuya.

[@sky-oq5mr]

He's already in Tekken 8 and so is heihachi.

[@LordRaptor]

@@sky-oq5mr Devil Jin was leaked, Heihachi isn't in Tekken 8 thus far (unless the new Mishima character that was leaked just has his moveset), but he's an extremely likely candidate for DLC.

[@gennadiosgena7842]

The people pissing themselves over Devil Jin still existing perplex the hell out of me, because they're basically admitting they have no idea what makes Jin and Devil Jin TOTALLY distinct from each other. They keep bringing up Kazuya and Devil Kazuya "merging" in Tekken 4, but neglect the fact that their movesets and playstyles are practically identical.

While id enjoy DJ, when you go over the difference between J/DJ to argue he's not a J clone i agree. But he's based on early Jin which were closely based on Kaz, so the question of being a clone is more relevant comparing to kaz.

[@hizasama]

Isn't there video footage that kind of points to DVJ actually being in the game? Like towards the end of the Story Opening Cinematic?

[@ilyamuromez6412]

I think D.Jin is just a waste of roster space since : 1.This is supposed to be Jins "redemption arc" so why should he still have the evil power and should he not be all controling and powerful? 2.I just hate devil jins gameplay and i dont want another "only devil jin is a viable mishima" like it was in tekken 6 and 7 before season4. I just hate characters who are constantly top tier it jus isnt fun.

[@hatto]

1. Think it makes more sense for Jin to have his redemption arc with DVJ being in it, since eventually he will need to fight him to redeem himself. Like he's prolly the most important piece to that transition. 2. Seems like the T6 problem is more so on the other mishimas being too weak and not dj being viable enough, I mean have you seen lars in that game? T7 on the other hand treat Kaz and Hei to be viable, even before S5, it's just that there's bound to be a better one when you have similar kits, and not going for that competitively is kind of a no-brainer.

wow i didnt know people were that anal about it, people who claim jin & Djin are the same character are either green ranks who have never touched the characters or simply haters. Djin & jin aren't like at all, a few common moves isn't enough to replace an entire character. Also, Tekken 8 jin has some devil jin moves, if you count them, they arent more than 5-6 moves, again NOT enough to replace Devil jin. Also, those moves are only accessible through stance or heat while devil jin had access to them just by inputting the move. Last, jin can control the devil gene, that does NOT mean he wont use it. hes literally just stronger whenever he's devil, his problem was the damage he used to cause and not being able to revert back. God i wish people gave a quick thought before their trash takes, and these are the same people who want knowledge check characters like lucky chloe in tekken 8 lmfao.

[@shirakani]

Devil Jin will 120% exist in T8..... BUT, whether or not he exists as a separate roster character is the only thing up in the air. It'll definitely become something like True Devil Kazuya vs True Devil Jin at the end, the chance of this being the way the 'final battle' plays out is almost take it to the bank level. But just like True Devil Kazuya in Tekken 7, him having that form doesn't mean it'll be normally playable... so this may be the case with DVJ as well. Will he exist in T8? Pfft, guaranteed. Fucking GUARANTEED.... Will he be an actual roster character tho? Ok... now THAT is the question. I, for one, hope it doesn't happen. Having Jin and DVJ as two separate playables is just fucking stupid, especially since Kazuya has had devil transform since TTT2 and there is absolutely ZERO reason they can't give that to Jin too. Even right now with how Jin is in the beta, I'm still annoyed that his Heat mode isn't Devil form when it damn well should be.

[@Lazar-ox5bd]

the difference is, in tekken games where Kazuya could turn devil he had only a few new moves (mid ewgf, hellsweep into heaven's gate, and 3 extra moves) while devil jin has an almost COMPLETELY different moveset from Jin, Devil Jin has the mishima fundamentals, almost all of them, flash punch, electric, hellsweep. While Jin has a different electric, now a hellsweep that's similar to Kazuya and no flash punch, the reason they are separate is cause they have VASTLY different moves (and cause qudans mained tekken 3 / tag 1 jin, this is a joke obv)

[@zaselimgamingvideos]

I am tired of this stupid argument that Kazuya and DKazuya are the same character unlike Jin/Djin. Like the person above me commented, the reason Jin and Djin have always been the 2 separate characters because they both have different moveset and playstyle. Just like Kazuya and DKazuya have only 2-3 different moves and some extension with his moves, Jin/djin have it in reverse where they only have 3-4 similar or same moves and the rest is different. It is not hard to understand but still people don't seem to understand it. I meam how dull a persom can be?
