It is believed that despite G Corporation's experiments, Devil's cells might be always the superior ones over the human cells.Īfter being thrown into a mountain ravine by his father, Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima gained a evil energy known as "Devil Gene" which made him extremely powerful.
For example, Kazuya is remembering happy childhood memories with his grandfather Jinpachi Mishima, who respected and loved, but since his devil cells are merged with his own, his happy mood suddently change into a sadistic evil one. However, Heihachi's presence in the ending would not be explained.Īlthough in the last 3 canonical games Kazuya and Devil get along together and Kazuya claims to control himself, some scenes and moments raised doubts from the fans about whoever between the two is really in control of the body and if Devil is actually Kazuya's real master, with Kazuya not being able to realize how evil he has become. The part of the story is not part of the canon, yet fans believe that this alternate event might happen inside Kazuya's mind because Devil still has Kazuya's physical traits after leaving his body. In Kazuya's story in Tekken 2, Kazuya can actually fight against Devil in the final boss battle, instead of Heihachi, Jun, or Angel.
TEKKEN 1 DEVIL FULL
Devil's current main goal is to take back his half from Jin and restore his full power. His most hated enemies have been Heihachi, Angel, Jun Kazama, and Jin. Unlike Devil Jin's dislike for Jin Kazama, Devil actually likes Kazuya, since the latter gave up to hatred and malice. He also very manipulative, such as attempting to lure others who are cursed by an evil entity like Jin to succumb to its power through merciless fear and pain, in attempt to gain theirs as his own. He appears to be very cunning and is ruthless in battle. Like the loud Devil Jin, he loves destruction, yet he is more calculating, subtle, and colder. He is also extremely arrogant, as he believes that his power is unmatchable. He displays no remorse for the damage that he causes to others in his quest for absolute power and control over the world.
However, Jin inherited the Devil Gene from his father at birth.ĭevil is a power-hungry, unforgiving entity who is motivated by power above all else, and enjoys causing pain to other people, suggesting a sadistic nature as well. A scene in the opening of Tekken 3, portraying a ghostly figure branding the arm of Jin with a mysterious tattoo that leads many fans to theorize that Devil would later possess the body of Jin, after the disappearance of his mother, Jun Kazama who had protected her unborn child from it fifteen years ago. In Tekken 7, it is revealed that Kazuya inherited the Devil Gene from his mother Kazumi Mishima at birth. Thanks to the G Corporation, Kazuya learned to coesist with Devil and the two merged into one entity, and after Tekken 4, Kazuya always controlled his own emotions and is now able to use his Devil form at will. According to Doctor Abel, the devil cells destroy the human cells and the Devil takes over the human body. Devil split from Kazuya after he was nearly killed at the end of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. His other half was able to reside in Jin Kazama's body three years before Tekken 3, as Jin was forced to inherit it from his father through the Devil Gene. After Tekken 2, Devil split in two different entities, those being Devil Kazuya and Devil Jin. His original incarnation serves as Kazuya's devil form. Somehow the monster alien Ogre seems to have a relation with the Devil Gene and demons of Earth. The Devil Gene is ancient and the demon Azazel claims to be its creator. Devil is a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament and his form is playable in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tekken 7. Devil's powers are not available with Kazuya in the fifth and sixth games.
From Tekken 5 onwards Kazuya and Devil act together as a single antagonist and Devil acts as Kazuya's "evil side" which is visible from his red eye since the fourth game. He returns as a main antagonist in Tekken 4, but he is not a playable character and his meeting with Jin causes the last identity problem on Kazuya. He makes another appearance in Tekken 3, in a scene that happens four years before the game, where half of him inhabits Jin's body by heritage.
Devil is a playable character in Tekken 2, where he is the final boss and the main antagonist of the game. Devil first appears in Tekken as an alternate costume for Kazuya, who's partially overhelmed with his hatred by the demon.
