Devil Jin, who represents Jin Kazama as he would appear after succumbing to the effects of the Devil Gene, was made a separate playable character in Tekken 5. He is the sub-boss for every character in Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection except for himself, Jin Kazama, Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima, Asuka Kazama, Hwoarang, Raven, and Wang Jinrei.He is unlocked as a playable character in Tekken 5 by either playing 200 matches in any modes or completing the Devil Within minigame.
Story
Devil Jin has defeated Jinpachi Mishima. Picking up Jinpachi's body, Devil Jin absorbs his power through his arm. Dropping Jinpachi to the ground, Devil Jin's muscles expand suddenly, bursting through both of his gauntlets. Devil Jin's horns grow longer, and he is covered with long fur. His power becomes so massive that it triggers a violent explosion, and Devil Jin stands in the center of it, howling.
Appearance
Appearance
Naturally, Devil Jin is nearly identical to Jin Kazama, save for his inhuman transformations and a change in clothing. In Tekken 3, Devil Jin simply bore tattoos over his face, sported altered glowing red eyes with changed pupils, and grew black wings used for flight. In subsequent games, however, the transformation has been expanded upon. In Tekken 4, there is a noticeable sequence to Jin's changes. As the transformation began, his body was surrounded by a purple haze, then the familiar tattoos formed on his chest and arms, and, finally, he grew two black wings from his back. This is as far as the sequence goes within that game, however, as Jin was stopped before his transformation was complete.
According to Tekken 5's story, Jin's transformation within that game recurred as a reaction to Jinpachi Mishima's return[10]. Because of this, there is no visible transformation, and Devil Jin simply appears in his most advanced state to date. His new look includes horns, chains on his right arm, waist, and legs, and warped, talon-like fingers. Like all characters within Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, however, Jin can be customized with an assortment of physical changes.

Fighting Style/Powers
Devil Jin is something of an amalgamation of several Tekken characters. His style incorporates moves from long-absent characters such as Devil, Angel, and Jun Kazama, and he also shares many moves with Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, and Asuka Kazama. This style, in fact, is nearly identical to Jin's fighting style from Tekken 3, which makes Devil Jin play as a sort-of "classic Jin". According to the canonical storyline, Jin unlearned the Mishima Fighting Karate style as one of the many ways to display his total hatred and disdain for his bloodline. Devil Jin, however, uses this fighting style with no such qualms.
In addition, Devil Jin can fly using the wings on his back and fire hex vision beams from his third eye on his forehead. In Hwoarang's epilogue, Devil Jin seems to wield the power of telekinesis to some degree (this is also shown in Devil Jin's extra win animation in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, which shows him using telekinesis to lift his opponent into the air while choking them).
However, despite his vast power, it seems that Jin's cousin, Asuka Kazama, can return Devil Jin to his human state simply by touching him, which can be seen in Asuka's Tekken 5/Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection ending.
