I won't lie, the way Jin used Devil, Jun and Heiachi stance. Dude unlocked his potential and previous combo attacks in T3. And his bgm music also came back!!!!
Meanwhile in the post-credits scene: Jin: "Finally. After so much conflict and bloodshed, I have cleansed myself and Kazuya from the Devil Gene. Now, the Devil's Blood is History, and the world no longer has to suffer the curse of the Mishimas" Xiaoyu: "Oh! Right, the Mishimas. That reminds me; Have you seen your new friend, Reina lately?" Jin: "............Fuck"
Jin: "Finally. After so much conflict and bloodshed, I have cleansed myself and Kazuya from the Devil Gene. Now, the Devil's Blood is History, and the world no longer has to suffer the curse of the Mishimas." Miguel: Jin: ".....fuck"
also that he started world war 3, creating upon billions of deaths and problems for future generations and he is as well a mishima by blood ahahhaahahahahahahah
Jin: “After so much conflict and bloodshed, I have cleansed myself and kazuya from the devils genes. Now the world’s devil blood is a history and the world no longer have to suffer the curse of Mishimas…” Kazumi: Jin: “…”
You know...................there is something there in that scene. He definitely hesitates as he knows maybe an all out punch might kill him, but then he gets so furious at the fact that someone is trying to obstruct his goals and what he wants to do with his life so he unleashes hell. It's a good pick up by you though!
I like to think that part of Kaz that hesitated, was the same part of him that mourned his mother, bonded with Jun, and remembered Jinpachi. He has humanity left in him, but he's gone too far and can't accept defeat, even against himself.
People don't understand how much this means to us 90s kids! We've waited forever for Jin to transform into an Angel! Edit: I can't believe how popular this comment got! I wish I could be with my son right now playing Tekken! Unfortunately I haven't seen him in a while but I pray that I do God bless you all and enjoy the game! 💪
@@shiroiidakku I think the story mode here proves that Tekken tops everything currently. SF6 may look good visual and effect wise, but it takes lots of elements from KoF, especially the 15. Drive Rush and Drive Impact are just Max Mode Quick and Shatter Strike. Their Level 3 is also KoF Climax Super. Not to mention Marisa is totally KoF Shen ripped off. You can check that if you don't believe me. Gameplay wise, I would rank Tekken 8 as #1. KoF 15 as 2nd, and SF6 is the 3rd place.
During the fight, I felt pity for Kazuya that he was all alone and had no support. Still he was a badass who will go out fighting and I am curious whats next for Kazuya as Jin's story feels completed.
@@101mrcrazyman I mean, if you saw the story, you'd know Jin acknowledges and accepts to atone for his sins. It's not like he's trying to kick them under the rug and pretend it didn't happen. He knows he's guilty and in the wrong and self loathes himself through 90% of the T8 story because of it.
This fight is pretty much like naruto and sasuke’s second fight in the valley of death. It started off with, pretty much an incredibly overpowered battle between two strongest beings in the earth, and it is followed by a simple hand to hand battle between 2 very exhausted people without any superpowers.
And the part with Xiaoyu protecting Jin while he's in his conscious to fight his inner demon reminds me of the 7th episode of the series finale of Samurai Jack with Ashi protecting Jack while he's spiritual meditating and go into his conciseness to fight his anger and get his sword back.
Kazuya needs to understand he'll never kill his son just like Heihachi. Anyway, Mishima family is a bunch of tsundere against each other that talk with hands not with mouth.
Coming from someone who doesn't know anything about Tekken, I really like how the fight between these two (Who I'm assuming have been archenemies for a long time) escalate this fight to God levels of power, destroying the world around them. But the fight eventually ends with them just being.. Ordinary humans. No Godly strengths and speed, nothing. Just pure martial arts and skill. That's cool.
Actually Kazuya and Jin aren't archenemies. They had much bigger hostility towards Heihachi, that Kazuya killed last game. Kazuya just went full-on insane, so Jin had to beat him because no one else could, and Kazuya decided to kill him because he also thought no one else could.
21:31 This moment of seeming hesitation from Kazuya here interests me. Like he's doubting his world view, even if for a small instance. Why? Does his beaten and exhausted son remind him of himself when he was younger against Heihachi? Is he pondering for a moment that maybe he's become just like his father? Prior to this game's release, I was fully of the belief that Kazuya is a hopeless monster through and through. But the fact that the returning Jun Kazama, a woman of strong moral integrity and purity, appears to hold genuine romantic affection for Kaz has me rethinking that. While I do believe still that Kazuya has undoubtedly been evil since Tekken 1, maybe there's more to him than that? Maybe there's still a good person in him buried under all the hatred, vengeance, power hunger, and ambition. How else could Jun fall in love with such a menace? This fight definitely reinforced it for me. The dialogue gives us a deeper dive into Kazuya's motivations and character more than any other Tekken ever has. "Anyone who tries to dictate how I live... Will suffer for their transgressions!" This is the first time Kazuya has ever expressed how he views himself and his actions. It's sounds almost like he sees himself as *righteous,* here. An oppressed rebel, refusing to yield against the expectations and demands of an unfair world. Is his desire for world domination more than just stereotypical bad guy bravado, and a way for him to lash out against the world for the pain he's suffered? I know I'm being corny and dramatic, haha, but I'm a huge Kazuya fan; however, I've always been one who loves him for being a ruthless dominator, a subversion of the heroic shoto protagonist cliche. A gruff and tough menace who makes a spectacle out of his maliciousness and ferocity. So I never expected Tekken 8, or any Tekken for that matter, to reveal his more human side, which this fight does. This is where it gets more head-canon-y, but I also feel that Kazuya's frustration with Jin in this fight comes from more than just him resisting. Again, in the timestamp I placed at the start of this comment, Kazuya looks to be questioning himself. It's possible that comes from witnessing Jin, his son, who comes from a tragic background akin to his own, responding to his pain in a manner completely different from how Kazuya did. Unlike Kazuya, who used the pain and trauma from his past with Heihachi to grow into a monster surpassing the ruthlessness and cruelty of his father, Jin instead leaned on the friendships and alliances he's made to push himself to get stronger, and fight for more than just power and domination. To fight for a future for himself and his friends. To be part of something bigger; as opposed to Kazuya, who has always been alone, and only ever fought for himself. The moment where Kazuya has Jin pinned against the wall seems to be him reassuring himself that *his way* is the right way. Obviously, Jin proves him wrong. Jin represents what Kazuya could have been had he followed the light, and that both infuriates and confuses him. Or... Maybe Tekken is a bunch of hokey nonsense that really serves no other purpose than to provide an excuse for shredded Japanese men to punch eachother. 😅 Either way, this was awesome. Whoever actually read all this, thanks for coming to my TED talk, lol.
Kazuya became exactly like Heihachi by the end of T7. And I think he started realizing it part way through the campaign. You're right that Kazuya's supervillainy is just a way for him to lash out at the world for hurting him, and to prove that he's overcome what Heihachi put him through as a kid. But the old man keeps showing up no matter what, in Lars, Reina, Jin, etc. It's the one thing that keeps setting him off. And Kazuya won't move on because deep down he's still that scared kid fighting desperately against his overmatched father.
Strength and brutality of the Mishimas. Inner peace and redirection of any conflict from the Kazama clan. The sheer might and power of the Devil Gene. The technical polish and discipline of Kyokushin Karate. Jin Kazama is the true King of Iron Fist Tournament!
17:27 hit me like a freight train. That remix of Jin’s Tekken 3 theme, and the return of his Mishima style…. It was a thing of beauty, and I’m glad we lived to see it.
I haven’t played Tekken since I was a small lad playing Tekken 3 on the PS1 with my dad, whose favourite character was Jin. Hearing Jin’s original theme kick in sent me straight back to being that kid watching in awe as my dad got all the way upto True Ogre in Tekken 3 in front of everyone at a house party. Just awesome to see how far Jin and Tekken has come since :)
21:31 that hesitation…Kazuya showed some sign of humanity. Haven’t seen that since his Tekken 5 ending (not canon of course but still). I think a part of him is proud of who he’s become. Even after he thought he won, he was going to leave him there. Tekken 9, I think we are getting Tekken 1-2 Kazuya again! *fingers crossed
@@Apostolis444hesitate (v.) pause before saying or doing something, especially through uncertainty That literally happened lmao tf?! Nothing to read into. He literally hesitated at that moment
Everyone in the comment talks about shounen animes but no one noticed the "JOJO part 2 Battle Tendency" Reference especially when they blew up into Space by a volcanic eruption.
Pretty sure JoJo itself is a shonen anime Also, nobody is talking about the amount of Devilman allusions. Like they weren’t hiding that shit with Kazuya design resembling Amon
OMG! DID ANYBODY CATCH THIS TOO? Around 18:25 you can hear Tekken 5's Devil Within main theme. Such splendid detail, I can't believe how well they're keeping the series spirit and respecting it
Jin Kazama surpassed himself and became the great hero he deserves to be.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The most epic, badass and impressive story of fighting games. Impressive from start to finish, excellent development and evolution of characters. One of the best and most unbeatable movies I have ever seen.
Kazuya probally not dead, because jin didnt want have same path with mishima anymore. So instead he kill him, he just leave him no more blood between father and son, he already prove that he more powerful than his father. So if kazuya try again do something evil he will no match againts him. But still kazuya fate still uknown because in hidden ending we saw someone appear in front of kazuya body. I hope if there is a chance kazuya comeback, i hope it will become redemption arc for him
he has rescued by Jun, so it is possible for a probable redemption and reparation between him and his son, considering that this is what Jun always wanted.
We who have witnessed this don't just witness for ourselves but for those along the way who couldn't get the chance Rip those players that didn't make it
Tell me everything you want, I'll always think Kazuya is the best Tekken's character, and one of the best in general. He's too damn well designed and voiced. Period.
23:22 starts what I believe is the most epic sequence ever. Jin, after all of his struggles now says he won't deny his past and wants to live. An awesome statement for someone who has been suicidal since the fourth Tekken. Plus the song is EPIC and fits PERFECTLY.
bro when the camera focused on jin when he did the tekken 3 intro pose, i lost it. it was so good! especially with the t2 music behind it! plus we got to play with somewhat of the t3 moveset!
Here my oppinion : 1. Jin and devil jin bond similiar to ichigo and zangetsu 2. Angel jin looks like saint seiya character 3. Jin finally use mishima and kazama martial arts 4. Jin rage arts evolve to punch and rider kick 5. Devil reina appear
There is actually a Bad Ending too. That one is the Good Ending. If Jin dies at the ending, Kazuya wins and he throws Jin off the cliff and he rules the world
Callback to what Heihachi did to Kazuya all the way back in Tekken 1. It’s hard to believe that all this pain and suffering started because of one man’s fear and greed.
im gonna be real I've never really interacted with anything related to tekken but that scene of jin and his mither alone has made me want to get into the series. It may sound weird but one of my favourite things about fighting games is the story in them. Blazblue, and guilty gear most notably.
Well, at least Jin got the happy ending I hoped he got. despite him causing a war, all so he can draw out and hunt demons to extinction at cause of innocent, I can understand him. A bastard father and grandfather, your loving mom being devoured by a monster from Aztec mythos, can make a man go mad, but his redemption story did circled around his dad a demonic heritage, so truly understandable.
While I like it from a lore perspective, I never could get the hang of Jin's playstyle from 4 onwards, so the return of "TEKKEN 3 Jin" in the final battle was hype as hell to me... hopefully he becomes fully playable in a DLC or patch.
Now that Kazuya is freed from his powers, maybe now he can begin to see the light. Jin spared him, he beat Kazuya but he didn't kill him. Which makes me think that Kazuya has a second chance at redemption and if there's any good path for a character it's DEFINITELY a journey to redemption. Jin has finally been freed from his curse. Throughout the Tekken story, he's been fighting endlessly and tirelessly to try and find a way out. Now that he has found his exit into a new beginning, a fresh start in life...one must wonder: What DOES fate have in store for our hero??
@@oprofeta6408 EXACTLY!!! I would love it if in Tekken 9 we get a "Father-Son" Team up in the story to battle Reina (seeing as she may be the next villain.) Seeing Jin and Kazuya fighting together against a common enemy with the amazing CGI and graphics we see here (maybe even better) would be epic!!!
Tekken 3 was when i first played jin and instantly he was my favourite character along with tekken being my favourite fighting game i played the older games waited for the newer games now just 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 nothing except bravoo the developers did.amazing
This man Jin really beat the devil out of Kazuya... that said the Lazuya ending was actually my favorite mainly because obviously Jin would have survived being tossed off the cliff, Kazuya doing that to me was more of a symbolic yet petty rebuttal to Jin's comment of surviving acknowledging he accepts him surviving but at the end of the day he isnt the one left standing. I dont think Kazuya is dies in Jin's ending, I dont see Jin finishing him off nor do I really see the series killing him off. Kazuya and Jin are the main characters of the series after all.
Can we all just talk about for a second how in the hell Jin survived that punch from Kazuya at 21:37? That was like the punch of all punches. And I thought the punch that killed Heihachi and stopped his heart was crazy............ Jin must be the most resilient person in the world to survive that whole onslaught. God damn tank that man was. I think the realization to Kazuya that those punches didn't put Jin down was the real moment he was defeated.............and I don't blame him. It's like "Is that all you got.......................yea...............yea that's all I got".....
What I love is that kazuya and jin are literally two sides of the same coin. The opposite, the exact reflection of each other, jin is the angel, kazuya is the devil, kazuya can't let go of the past and accept himself, jin accepts himself and looks to the future. And cares for the people around him. I feel for kazuya for sure.. and I think he could have killed jin but held back, he is evil but definitely broken too, each game my respect for each of the characters just go further. I hated heihachi but in tekken 7 I absolutely fell in love with the character. And he went out like an absolute chad. Also kazuya was always my favorite tekken character, He is the main character of tekken in my opinion. And in this game I absolutely shed a tear at jin's character development. jin is weaker than kazuya.. he was defeated time again, because he couldn't let go of his past. But here, jin finally accepted himself for who he is, and had a purpose in life now. Basically went through the whole kratos arc. That's how he was able to defeat kazuya, by the power of hope and purification
Reina is likely either a secret clone of Kazumi, or was concieved in a test tube using Kazumi’s DNA around 18-25 years before this game’s events. Maybe she even has some of Kazuya’s DNA as well. But she’s definitely not birthed from Kazumi womb, because Kazumi died when Kazuya was 5 and he’s 50 years old in this game.
Shirrako, you're very good as Jin (Not only Human but also include both his Devil and Angel Forms) I would like to see Angel Jin Render with 4K picture
It's an awesome way to tell a fighting game history through anime traits. I always thought this should happen to Jago vs Gargos on Killer Instinct when Jago transcend his own tiger spirit. Tekken 8 is a good game for sure.
As a diehard fan of LoveLive Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the fight between Angel Jin and True Devil Kazuya in TEKKEN 8 is truly the main highlight. Angel Jin in TEKKEN 8 is also an amazing character.
His transformation is not just the sign of the end of the power struggle he's having, but a new beginning for a better future for him and his friends. 😊

Hearing Jin’s original theme kick in sent me straight back to being that kid watching in awe as my dad got all the way upto True Ogre in Tekken 3 in front of everyone at a house party.
Just awesome to see how far Jin and Tekken has come since :)
No matter how Jin always say his mother, kazuya never once lambast him or say his mother is weak.
21:31 that hesitation…Kazuya showed some sign of humanity. Haven’t seen that since his Tekken 5 ending (not canon of course but still). I think a part of him is proud of who he’s become. Even after he thought he won, he was going to leave him there. Tekken 9, I think we are getting Tekken 1-2 Kazuya again! *fingers crossed
Maybe a grandchild for him too in Tekken 9 😏 (child of xiaoyu and jin maybe)
"THOR!"-Kazuya? I hope so 😎
Its not hesitation lol stop reading too much into it
@@Apostolis444hesitate (v.) pause before saying or doing something, especially through uncertainty
That literally happened lmao tf?! Nothing to read into. He literally hesitated at that moment
@@Apostolis444 bro look at him like look at him that's not the kazuya I know
Bro… Jun’s stance looks so good on Jin.
Everyone in the comment talks about shounen animes but no one noticed the "JOJO part 2 Battle Tendency" Reference especially when they blew up into Space by a volcanic eruption.
Nah I peeped that too I was thinking the fight with Kars bro
I catch the reference too
Yeah, I wanna say that too
Jojo Bizarre Adventure: TEKKEN 8 EDITION?
Pretty sure JoJo itself is a shonen anime
Also, nobody is talking about the amount of Devilman allusions. Like they weren’t hiding that shit with Kazuya design resembling Amon
I came for the cinematics i actually stayed for the fights. That was some good ass tekken
I'm a bit sad we didn't get to see Kazuya and Jun actually interact in the story, oh well maybe in future tekken games.
I'm praying that they give us a Story DLC, I don't wanna wait another 7 years for the next chapter
actualy the ending, jun spirit/ either jun come to unconscious kazuya.
@@SpiiderVKnot dlc. We call them expansions, it has more meaning to it
@@SpiiderVKwhen the time is right dude love is timeless and if you wants something you'll wait for its
I like that in his ending he has a picture of her framed. He isn’t all darkness. Man also has a massive drip collection lmao
OMG! DID ANYBODY CATCH THIS TOO? Around 18:25 you can hear Tekken 5's Devil Within main theme. Such splendid detail, I can't believe how well they're keeping the series spirit and respecting it
Original track was Jin Theme from Tekken 3
The final battle between father and son.
Again 😂😂
The final battle between father and son part 2.
So in Tekken 9 is gonna be like the battle between Stepsis and Stepbro
@@1stioalNext will be brother vs sister, assuming Reina wants to kill Kazuya
Reina is gonna be the next villain for Tekken 9 💀💀💀
Jin Kazama surpassed himself and became the great hero he deserves to be.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The most epic, badass and impressive story of fighting games. Impressive from start to finish, excellent development and evolution of characters. One of the best and most unbeatable movies I have ever seen.
Shizuku Osaka also a big fan of Jin Kazama...
Hero my ass. He started WW3 He's a war criminal 😂😂
Kazuya probally not dead, because jin didnt want have same path with mishima anymore. So instead he kill him, he just leave him no more blood between father and son, he already prove that he more powerful than his father. So if kazuya try again do something evil he will no match againts him.
But still kazuya fate still uknown because in hidden ending we saw someone appear in front of kazuya body. I hope if there is a chance kazuya comeback, i hope it will become redemption arc for him
That somebody is jun
he has rescued by Jun, so it is possible for a probable redemption and reparation between him and his son, considering that this is what Jun always wanted.
Redemption arc Jun helping Kazuya plus Jin to go up against devil Reina
@@devildogpaulthis one either be a dlc chapter or str8 go to tekken 9 story..
I didn't think I'd live long enough to see this story end.
It may never end perhaps.
Reina...?
@@erwandywijaya9965
reina is clearly the next chapter
jin's war against the devil is over
18:38 I'm not gonna sugarcoat it 🗣🗣
Amazingly cinematic final fight. Also, Angel Jin looks reminiscent of Final Fantasy's Warrior of Light.
He looks like kain from 4 to me lol
@@skullgreymonthis
I thought so too!!
Yes the original WoL
We who have witnessed this don't just witness for ourselves but for those along the way who couldn't get the chance Rip those players that didn't make it
congratulations you read the top comment and regurgitated it, you win 1 free response of "kill yourself"
@@EdwardGordington💀
Man lets add more emotion in the comments
Jin Kazama:
"No longer will I deny my past.
No longer will I deny my comrades and our bonds.
I... I WANT TO LIVE!"
Jin has finally learned to value his life.
Kazuya: (having finally lost his temper) "BREAK, DAMN YOU!"
14:22 a fight to the limit I love it
*that's one long boss battle* 🥴😨
its a shounen battle so yeah lmao
This is basically SSJ Goku vs Frieza all over again but it’s Tekken style
For a fighting game yeah this is a pretty long fight
This may sound stupid but if Tekken 9 does happen, they would add Tag team again maybe by Jin and Kazuya working to stop Reina
It would be really cool because Kazuya was and still is the protagonist of the saga but with Jin now, that's the reason why he shouldn't die.
@@benjaminsanchez5388godzilla had a stroke reading this and fucking died
@@benjaminsanchez5388 i genuinely had a stroke trying to read your comment
@@benjaminsanchez5388 dude jin is the main protagonist sice tekken 3 lmao
Asuka is a better choice , Atleast... Jin , Jun & Kazuya need their time to heal each others.
Tell me everything you want, I'll always think Kazuya is the best Tekken's character, and one of the best in general. He's too damn well designed and voiced. Period.
Yes he's the GOAT....
@@ShAaAiTaAaNKazuya and Jin both are GOAT.
@@purwantiallan5089 ok and ?
Jin>>>>>
Everybody knows Kazuya is real tekken. The true OG. Jin just for the pretty boys that wanna act hard but aint really bout that life.
12:19 12:20 angel Jin’s domain expansion: heaven’s light
5:34 That form reminds me of Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy.
29:21 This is the scene I desperately wanted!
This epic fight was no more Tekken. He gives me a feeling of Final Fantasy.
It was giving me Dragon Ball vibes at some points.
23:22 starts what I believe is the most epic sequence ever. Jin, after all of his struggles now says he won't deny his past and wants to live. An awesome statement for someone who has been suicidal since the fourth Tekken. Plus the song is EPIC and fits PERFECTLY.
In the end, I went with Dragon Ball style. Energy blast when you shoot the beam!
Didn't they have that laser thing since the devil powers were first introduced or was that a recent ability.
@@maxmetropolis8518Since they were introduced but Kazuya did a fking death ball lmao.
I feel Angel Jin like a character of Saint Seiya for the armor
@@Takaroku. No, they did the exegeration since the 3D movie, really got nothing to do with dragon ball
Kazuyas death ball too. That was some generic Goku vs Cooler thing were he throws it back 😂
We went from Tekken to Knights of the Zodiac and I love it. . .
OH MY GOD, HE IS BACK WITH HIS TEKKEN 3 MOVESET, LETS FUCKING GOOO
14:00 is perfect for wallpaper
17:30 Or....THIS!!!
WOW WOW wow. The year just started and Tekken raised the bar of the best final boss fight to the moon and beyond 🤩🤩
bro when the camera focused on jin when he did the tekken 3 intro pose, i lost it. it was so good! especially with the t2 music behind it! plus we got to play with somewhat of the t3 moveset!
This was absolutly outstanding
this story mode had so many shout outs to shounen anime. Mainly Naruto, Bleach and DBZ
Jjk as well with them opening dimension domains.
Lmao 💀 Kazuya literally pulled out Death Ball like he is Frieza and about to destroy the world 💀
Jojo part 2 with the flying rock they fight on
even klk 😂
Mostly Bleach, if we're being honest. Jin basically had his Hollow Ichigo arc and his The Blade is Me moment.
5:00
Bro became a Devil May Cry protagonist
Here my oppinion :
1. Jin and devil jin bond similiar to ichigo and zangetsu
2. Angel jin looks like saint seiya character
3. Jin finally use mishima and kazama martial arts
4. Jin rage arts evolve to punch and rider kick
5. Devil reina appear
There is actually a Bad Ending too. That one is the Good Ending. If Jin dies at the ending, Kazuya wins and he throws Jin off the cliff and he rules the world
Callback to what Heihachi did to Kazuya all the way back in Tekken 1. It’s hard to believe that all this pain and suffering started because of one man’s fear and greed.
im gonna be real I've never really interacted with anything related to tekken but that scene of jin and his mither alone has made me want to get into the series. It may sound weird but one of my favourite things about fighting games is the story in them. Blazblue, and guilty gear most notably.
true, and Blazblue has the most confusing story in any fighting game ever and i still love them
Tekken was one of the it's story wise 😅 check out the video "the insane lore of Tekken"
And yet people will write "You want a good story from a fighting game?"
Well, at least Jin got the happy ending I hoped he got. despite him causing a war, all so he can draw out and hunt demons to extinction at cause of innocent, I can understand him. A bastard father and grandfather, your loving mom being devoured by a monster from Aztec mythos, can make a man go mad, but his redemption story did circled around his dad a demonic heritage, so truly understandable.
Finally!!! Everyone's Favorite Line *"We use the Power of Friendship!"*
I never believed that jin will transform to an angel it means a lot tobus 90s kids so much i agree to foxrider 11
17:02 i know he hates jin but that smile was like he his proud of him
While I like it from a lore perspective, I never could get the hang of Jin's playstyle from 4 onwards, so the return of "TEKKEN 3 Jin" in the final battle was hype as hell to me... hopefully he becomes fully playable in a DLC or patch.
Jin's transformation looks like a zodiac knight
Now that Kazuya is freed from his powers, maybe now he can begin to see the light. Jin spared him, he beat Kazuya but he didn't kill him. Which makes me think that Kazuya has a second chance at redemption and if there's any good path for a character it's DEFINITELY a journey to redemption.
Jin has finally been freed from his curse. Throughout the Tekken story, he's been fighting endlessly and tirelessly to try and find a way out. Now that he has found his exit into a new beginning, a fresh start in life...one must wonder:
What DOES fate have in store for our hero??
I think it's cool that Jin Spared Kazuya. He finally put a end in this cycle of "Son killing father".
He getting ready to fufill xiaoyus wish 😂
@@oprofeta6408 EXACTLY!!! I would love it if in Tekken 9 we get a "Father-Son" Team up in the story to battle Reina (seeing as she may be the next villain.) Seeing Jin and Kazuya fighting together against a common enemy with the amazing CGI and graphics we see here (maybe even better) would be epic!!!
Never underestimate the power of friendship kazuya😂
Tekken 3 was when i first played jin and instantly he was my favourite character along with tekken being my favourite fighting game i played the older games waited for the newer games now just 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 nothing except bravoo the developers did.amazing
It's been years, we finally get Angel Jin
Literally got goosebumps through entire story mode 😭 what a game tekken is ❤
This man Jin really beat the devil out of Kazuya... that said the Lazuya ending was actually my favorite mainly because obviously Jin would have survived being tossed off the cliff, Kazuya doing that to me was more of a symbolic yet petty rebuttal to Jin's comment of surviving acknowledging he accepts him surviving but at the end of the day he isnt the one left standing.
I dont think Kazuya is dies in Jin's ending, I dont see Jin finishing him off nor do I really see the series killing him off. Kazuya and Jin are the main characters of the series after all.
Can we all just talk about for a second how in the hell Jin survived that punch from Kazuya at 21:37? That was like the punch of all punches. And I thought the punch that killed Heihachi and stopped his heart was crazy............
Jin must be the most resilient person in the world to survive that whole onslaught. God damn tank that man was. I think the realization to Kazuya that those punches didn't put Jin down was the real moment he was defeated.............and I don't blame him. It's like "Is that all you got.......................yea...............yea that's all I got".....
@17:14 - @17:16 it gives me goosebumps on Tekken 3!
I think you meant 17:27
As a No Player of Tekken, I don't any idea about this game. But, I must to say I'd enjoy all this final boss
At long last! I have dreamed of this fight from when I was a child.. and it didn't disappoint
19:59 They even put in the haunting Tekken 2 credit roll “Landscape Under the Ghost Moon Kaminano”
I say best music used in this battle after tekken 3 jin remix
What I love is that kazuya and jin are literally two sides of the same coin. The opposite, the exact reflection of each other, jin is the angel, kazuya is the devil, kazuya can't let go of the past and accept himself, jin accepts himself and looks to the future. And cares for the people around him. I feel for kazuya for sure.. and I think he could have killed jin but held back, he is evil but definitely broken too, each game my respect for each of the characters just go further. I hated heihachi but in tekken 7 I absolutely fell in love with the character. And he went out like an absolute chad. Also kazuya was always my favorite tekken character, He is the main character of tekken in my opinion. And in this game I absolutely shed a tear at jin's character development. jin is weaker than kazuya.. he was defeated time again, because he couldn't let go of his past. But here, jin finally accepted himself for who he is, and had a purpose in life now. Basically went through the whole kratos arc. That's how he was able to defeat kazuya, by the power of hope and purification
Tekken 3 Jin theme hits different 🔥🔥🔥
Man when Jin twisted his wrist and his theme from T3 came on, I went crazy
“We’re nothing but a couple of humans now, you and I” bro you and daddy did a 15 foot jump in the air and have lightning coming out of your fists
Super humans 😅
Mishima Strength.
So Kaz wasn’t the only child of Heihachi and Kazumi.
Why does she look really young compared to Kaz lol
Different mom with a devil gene most likely
Lars is a Heihachi's son too.
@@AceBZbut in the other mother
Reina is likely either a secret clone of Kazumi, or was concieved in a test tube using Kazumi’s DNA around 18-25 years before this game’s events.
Maybe she even has some of Kazuya’s DNA as well. But she’s definitely not birthed from Kazumi womb, because Kazumi died when Kazuya was 5 and he’s 50 years old in this game.
Unless Heihachi managed to get another woman who happens to have the devil gene, aside from Kazumi, pregnant.
The first hint that jin was turning to angel was in tekken 4. When a single white feather dropped as he left through the hon maru ceiling
Shirrako, you're very good as Jin (Not only Human but also include both his Devil and Angel Forms)
I would like to see Angel Jin Render with 4K picture
If even someone like me, who's only played Tekken 7 can tell the importance of Jin's theme and Mishima style pose YOU KNOW YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING GOOD
When Jin theme start gave chill
Jin’s ending is canon?
Yes
Along with her mother Jun, you can see at then when kazuya was laying unconscious
I guess, it would be jarring to play as Kazuya right after he kills his own son.
Jin's Hope Ending is very likely canon.
I don't see Kazuya's Despair Ending as canon.
Reina's Post Story Credits scene is canon regardless.
@@93SuperSonic Kazuya's despair ending is never canon. This is ain't like injustice 2 or other games where the bad endings are chosen.
I love how you can hear the Jun’s soundtrack from Tekken tag 2 when Jun talks to Jin
It's an awesome way to tell a fighting game history through anime traits. I always thought this should happen to Jago vs Gargos on Killer Instinct when Jago transcend his own tiger spirit. Tekken 8 is a good game for sure.
As a diehard fan of LoveLive Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the fight between Angel Jin and True Devil Kazuya in TEKKEN 8 is truly the main highlight. Angel Jin in TEKKEN 8 is also an amazing character.
You weren’t a good man Kazuya, but you have conviction.
I understood that reference.
21:34 I dunno if he paused to take a breather, or if he actually hesitated, even for just a split second, in striking his son down.
the kazuya wave dash is something else😂
"Jin. Go forth sweetheart"
*CRYING* 😭😭😭
Angel Jin looks like Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy Dissidia lmao
I hope when Shirrako tried to adjust the audio volume, it was to make the BGM louder
This is the first time I’ll say that unironically but this fight is actual PEAK fiction
17:30 TEKKEN 3 REFERENCE AND HIS TEKKEN 3 SONG!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭
6:15 hope fishes survived that energy ball
29:20
So is Jin and Ling are finally gonna have a happy ending and be together now that the devil jin is gone?
Jin : i no longer hesitate to use mishima style
(Immediately chains EWGF)
bro was true to his words frame 1
We haven't seen a final fight this good since mgs4!
Epic fight.
That aside- I wonder where we can buy such sturdy trousers, belt, shoes...
His transformation is not just the sign of the end of the power struggle he's having, but a new beginning for a better future for him and his friends. 😊
