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 and posses her unborn child, Jin Kazama, but in an epic battle, Jun defeated Devil and saved her son. 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.

Trivia

• General
  • 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). Before Devil Jin made an apperance in Tekken 5 as a playable character, he had two cameo apperances (he appeared in Jin Kazama's Tekken 3 ending and his Tekken 4 ending) this makes him the shortest devil to be a cameo.
• In the game Namco X Capcom, Devil Kazuya appears as a NPC boss. He is sought out by Jin and ends up fighting against heroes such as Ryu and Ken from the Street Fighter series of games. He attempts to obtain the Soul Edge sword from the SoulCalibur game series, also produced by Namco. He is attacked by Shadowloo of Street Fighter because M.Bison was interested in the Devil Gene. Jin, Heihachi, and Ryu manage to spoil his plans by defeating him and returning him to his normal state. This doesn't affect the Tekken continuity however this "takes place" during or after Tekken 4.

• Tekken
• Devil is a 3rd costume for Kazuya Mishima. Devil doesn't shoot lasers or fly. His appearance is very poor.
• He is unlocked by winning eight levels in Galaga minigame without losing a life.
• Tekken 2
  • Devil's sub-bosses are Heihachi Mishima (Stage 8) and Jun Kazama (Stage 9), and Devil's final boss fight is against Angel.
• To unlock Devil and Angel, you must complete Arcade Mode with Kazuya Mishima. He is selected with the punch buttons (triangle or square)
• 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, Tetsujin and Mokujin if they are imitating Kazuya and have Devil as their 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.
• True Ogre is his rival. However, since Tekken Tag Tournament is a non-canon game their rivialry is also non-canon.

• Tekken 5
  • In Tekken 5, Kazuya Mishima can be customised to have Devil's horns, tail, wings and a third eye.
• In the game Namco X Capcom, Devil kazuya appears as a NPC boss. He is sought out by Jin and ends up fighting against heroes such as Ryu and Ken from the Street Fighter series of games. He attempts to obtain the Soul Edge sword from the SoulCalibur game series, also produced by Namco. Jin, Heihachi, and Ryu manage to spoil his plans by defeating him.

Story

Heihachi Mishima had threw Kazuya off a ravine when he was 5 years old. Kazuya's goal was to destroy Heihachi and bring justice to the Mishima Zaibatsu. He meets with "DEVIL". Devil makes a deal with Kazuya. Once he helps Kazuya achieve his goal, Kazuya must help him by letting Devil control his soul bringing evil and misery.

Note: In order the play as Devil, you must beat eight games of Galaga minigame without losing a life. Devil is just a 3rd outfit for Kazuya Mishima - nothing else. Even his name under his health bar is still 'Kazuya'.

When Kazuya finally kills Heihachi in Tekken. Devil wants the body of Kazuya so he can use the Devil Gene to rule the world, however Angel comes in Devil's way, so Devil battles with Angel over Kazuya Mishima's soul. Jun Kazama had used Angel to prevent Devil from eating away Kazuya's soul. The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 is announced!

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.

Pre-fight and Win Animations

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tekken 3/Tekken 4

At the conclusion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Devil/Kazuya was ultimately killed and defeated by Heihachi Mishima claiming himself as the winner because his goal to achieve was to reclaim control of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Kazuya was thrown into a volcano burning to a krisp. Two Devils were there. One stayed with Kazuya and the other went to possess Jin Kazama with evil. When G Corporation found Kazuya with the Devil, they used him as research. 2 years after the events of Tekken 3, Heihachi failed to capture Ogre. But his researchers succedding into finding sampes of Ogre's blood and tissue. Heihachi then used him for experimentation, the experiment failed however. Instead Heihachi searched for Jin who transformed into a Devil. During his research, he discovered a 20 year old photograph which show a purple-skined fighter burnt to a crisp. Heihachi learned that the picture was Kazuya when Heihachi killed him and threw him into a volcano 20 years ago. He also learned that he joined a biotech research team by the name G Corporation. His remains were kept there. Heihachi sent his squad of Tekken Force soldiers to attack G Corporation and to also steal his research data (the Devil remains). Kazuya learns that he was a target in the attack. Heihachi was shocked when he learns that his plans were foiled by the retalliation of Kazuya Mishima. He announces The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Heihachi ordered his Tekken Force to kidnap Jin Kazama and to place him in Honmaru. Kazuya and Heihachi enter the Honmaru dojo.

The expolsion also freed Jinpachi Mishima who had the Devil Gene and who was the original owner and founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu. He announced the King Of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
