[edit] Introduction
Devil was first introduced to the Tekken series' storyline when Kazuya was thrown off a cliff by his father, Heihachi Mishima (he did so just to test his son's strength, feeling that he was "weak"). As Kazuya was dying, Devil appeared from out of nowhere and offered Kazuya the ultimate power he needed to overthrow his father, in exchange for his soul. Despite knowing this was a dangerous risk, especially when it came from a villainous source, Kazuya longed to enact revenge against his father for what he had done to him. Thus, he accepted Devil's deal, and with his life saved, Kazuya was able to plan ahead for his moment of revenge. Interestingly enough, Kazuya's soul wasn't consumed completely by Devil (which lead to an internal struggle against Angel, whom represented Kazuya's good side). The only time Devil had ever left Kazuya was when he tried to inhabit inside the womb of Jun Kazama's unborn child, Jin Kazama, but in an epic battle, Jun defeated Devil. Devil then rejoined with Kazuya on the brink of his resurrection, thus narrowly avoiding death.
It is not known whether Devil won the internal struggle against Angel, or whether Angel completely gave up trying to save Kazuya (seeing that Kazuya was driven to evil anyway; given his natural hatred for his father), but since Tekken 4, it looks like Kazuya and Devil act as one entity. However, as demonstrated in Kazuya's Tekken 4 ending, he was able to gain control over Devil, which may demonstrate that Devil could simply be Kazuya's alternative form - yet the same person (Devil once controlled Kazuya, which was demonstrated when Kazuya's eyes were glowing red, but seeing that Kazuya could fight Devil's control and revert to his usual self, it could be factual that now Kazuya controls Devil). Of course, whether this is true or not remains to be unseen, but fans alike have theorized that Kazuya and Devil are now one entity under the control of Kazuya (in Tekken 5, Kazuya, at will, changes into his devil form to escape Hon-Maru).
To avoid confusion with Devil Jin and Jinpachi Mishima's Devil form, the devil that inhabits Kazuya is simply referred to as "Devil". No other character carrying the Devil Gene have referred themselves to simply "Devil" except Kazuya. However, Devil is referred to as Devil Kazuya in Kazuya's Tekken 5 Prologue.
Devil served as the final boss in Tekken 2.
[edit] Trivia
- In Tekken Tag Tournament, if you selected Devil and Kazuya Mishima as tag partners, one would transform into the other when tagging, instead of the usual tag animation. This transformation was also accompanied with a small stun if it connected with the other player, giving you enough time to transform without suffering a counter attack. This also works for Unknown if she is imitating Kazuya and has Devil as her partner, when tagging.
- In Tekken Tag Tournament, all Jack robots (Prototype Jack, Jack-2, and Gun Jack) will go haywire if Devil's or Angel's laser strikes them.
- Devil makes cameo appearances in "Tekken 3's" opening sequence (he mark's Jin Kazama's arm the Devil Gene seal), Kazuya Mishima's Tekken 4 ending and Kazuya's Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection prologue. This makes him the longest devil in the Tekken series. (He appear in every game excluding Tekken Advance whether as a playable character or in a cameo).
- Devil's sub-bosses in Tekken 2 are Heihachi Mishima (Stage 8) and Jun Kazama (Stage 9), and Devil's final boss fight is against Angel.
[edit] Story
Devil was represented as a palette swap for Kazuya Mishima in Tekken 1. To play as Devil in Tekken 1, you must win eight levels of the Galaga minigame.
Note: Devil is just a 3rd outfit for Kazuya Mishima - nothing else. Even his name under his health bar is still 'Kazuya'.
Devil battles with Angel over Kazuya Mishima's soul.
[edit] Ending Animation "Destruction"
The camera pans in on Devil from the right, showing only Devil's upper body at first. The camera pans out to show Devil's whole body shortly afterwards. Devil begins walking towards the screen. The camera zooms in on Devil's face as it fires a powerful beam from its forehead. The beam goes through the roof of the building that Devil is in. It causes a small explosion and a small fire. Through the smoke of the fire, Devil is shown standing on the roof of the building and flapping its wings. Soon, the smoky view disappears, and Devil is shown clearly, still flapping its wings as a dark shadow appears every time they close. Finally, Devil flies up towards the moon, which is full.
[edit] Pre-fight and Win Animations
[edit] Pre-fight Animation
Devil slowly rises from a crouching position until it is fully standing up.
Note: This pre-fight animation will only show before fighting Devil in "Arcade" mode. It will not show up if it is a regular fight against Devil.
Devil moves its arms around, first upwards, then forwards, and then downwards slightly, until it is in its fighting stance.
Note: Because none of the characters in Tekken 2 have normal pre-fight animations, this pre-fight animation is not in Tekken 2. It is only in Tekken Tag Tournament.
[edit] Win Animations
Random: Devil brings its left hand downwards in a "hammer punch" style, and then it spreads its left arm to the left side.
Note: Devil only has this win animation in Tekken 1, due to being nothing more than a palette swap for Kazuya.
1 or 3: Devil is crouching, with its arms covering its face while energy surrounds Devil. A few moments later, Devil flies up into the air slightly and starts firing a beam from its forehead up towards the sky, with its arms at its sides.
2 or 4: Devil crosses its arms, and it turns its head towards the left.
[edit] Tekken: The Motion Picture
The devil possesses Kazuya Mishima's soul after Heihachi Mishima throws him off of a cliff... with the Devil's power, Kazuya can live again and seek revenge on his father.
Tekken Tag Tournament is not a part of the Tekken series' canonical storyline, but Devil makes an appearance as a playable character in this game. This is Devil's last appearance as a playable character in a Tekken game.
[edit] Ending Animation
Devil walks up to Jun Kazama, who is unconscious and laying on the ground. Devil crouches, picks her up with both arms, and flies away. This ending takes place in Unknown's stage.
