In short, during Tekken 4, Jin planned to destroy his father, and grandfather, and then himself, dying without children to put an end to the Mishima curse once and for all. As a result of his family's bloodline curse, Jin thinks that the people he loves will likely suffer if he ever completely succumbs to the Devil Gene or becomes one with it like his father. Jin's disinterest in close relations perhaps results from the Devil Gene. People close to him, including Hwoarang, and Xiaoyu, are always going to extremes to gain Jin's attention, and yet, he maintains an indifferent demeanor towards them. Once Jin's mind is focused in any particular direction, it is immensely difficult to get him to change or even notice the events and people around him. He also has one personality trait in common with many Japanese action heroes. Although he is portrayed as a monster in his devil form, in general, he is never portrayed as evil (unlike Kazuya and Heihachi), and everything that he does, he does for a good reason. Jin's personality ranges from stoic and calm to rude and arrogant at various moments, and his words and actions hint toward the bitterness within. However after everything he went through, he seemed to have lost all his human feelings. It is known that Jin used to be 'sweet and nice' (as described by Ling Xiaoyu and mentioned by other characters), before all of the above-mentioned events happened. Each of these occurs to a helpless and unassuming Jin, who is simply doing what he can to set things right at every turn. Fifth, the appearance of Azazel prompts him to corrupt the Mishima Zaibatsu further just for the chance to face the beast and sacrifice himself to destroy it. Fourthly, the return of his great-grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima, has caused him to begin losing his internal struggle with the Devil within. Thirdly, he was betrayed by his grandfather, whom he trusted deeply.

Secondly, his mother was cruelly and abruptly taken from him while he was still a teenager. As with many tragedies, all of the major traumatic events that occur within the hero's life are beyond his control.įirst and foremost, there's the fact that his father and grandfather are two of the most evil and ruthless individuals who've ever lived on the face of the earth. Jin's actions and surroundings fit the mold of a quintessential 'tragic hero', excluding the lack of a tragic flaw as of Tekken 6.
