Tekken/Characters/3: Difference between revisions

{{quote| The Mishima bloodline ends here.<br />

Currently the "hero" of the series. Jin is Jun's son from Kazuya, inheriting his Devil Gene. When Jun was killed by Ogre, Jin swore revenge and as instructed, studies Mishima Karate through his grandpa Heihachi (also enrolls in school)... only to be betrayed once Jin defeats Ogre. This awakens his Devil Gene, transforming him into Devil Jin and trashes Heihachi before fleeing. With much disgust with his family, he unlearns the Mishima Karate and learns traditional Karate, then enters the 4th King of Iron Fist Tournament, also hearing that his father Kazuya (that he equally hates for his Devil Gene that he inherited from Kazuya) is [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]. But, he ends up captured and awakened in a temple, where he proceeds to beat the crap out of Heihachi and Kazuya, only sparing them due to his mother's spirit interference.

After his retreat, Jin starts getting overwhelmed by his Devil Gene, which he decided that he has to put an end to his own bloodline. He enters the 5th tournament, but is unable to concentrate and got his ass kicked by his rival Hwoarang, which causes his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] to take over him and he swiftly beat Hwoarang back. Then he goes to beat Jinpachi, claiming the ownership of the Zaibatsu and uses it to... [[Take Over the World]].

{{quote| '''[[Street Fighter|M. Bison]]''': ''[[That Guy With The Glasses|OF]] [[Running Gag|COURSE]]!!''}}

* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: In ''4'' and ''5'', as long as you're not on his hitlist (i.e. Kazuya and Heihachi), he'll ask you to forgive him for beating you into a bloody pulp.

* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: His ending in ''3'', thanks to the Devil Gene.}}

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: A "child of destiny"? A more accurate descriptor would be a "child of suck". He seems to have inherited no spiritual powers from Jun, instead being plagued with the cursed blood of the Mishimas.

* [[Death Seeker]]: It's very clear that he intends to extinguish himself after getting rid of Heihachi and Kazuya in ''4''--it—it's the only way he can think of to obliterate the Devil Gene. {{spoiler|In ''6'', getting himself and Azazel killed simultaneously is the ultimate step in this plan. It half-works.}}

* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: As regular Jin, his eyes are a light brown. As Devil Jin, his eyes are blank and with white-[[Eyes of Gold|gold irises]]. He also sprouts [[Extra Eyes|a third eye]] on his forehead [[Eye Beams|that can fire lasers]].

* [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: As Devil Jin, he sprouts feathery black wings. However, in his ending in ''4'', [[Perpetual Molt|a single white feather is seen fluttering down amidst his black ones]], [[Fighting From the Inside|symbolizing the good within him]].

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Has the same [[Isshin Chiba|seiyuu]] as [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Dio Brando]].

* [[In the Hood]]: Wears a hoodie in ''Tekken 4'' and ''Tekken 5'' as his alternate outfit. Nearly at the level of [[Clothes Make the Legend]].

* [[Missing Mom]]

* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: Suffers from one in ''4'' after being sedated by the Tekken Force and imprisoned at Hon-Maru. Specifically, he's tormented by visions of Kazuya telling him to give in to his hatred of him.

* [[Power Echoes]]: Devil Jin.

{{quote| '''Devil Jin''': "I will teach you the meaning of fear!" <ref>While the subtitles read ''"Fear the wrath of God!"'', this translation is incorrect. Devil Jin's words ("Kyoufu wo oshiete yarou!") are something more along the lines of the above.</ref> }}

* [[Power Glows]]: As Devil Jin in ''Devil Within'', his body and eyes glow red.

* [[The Power of Trust]]: [[Tear Jerker|Horrifically subverted]]. While Jun was the one to suggest that Jin find Heihachi if anything were to happen to her, Heihachi is only using Jin as bait for Ogre to further his own ambitions. When Jin wins the tournament? {{spoiler|Tekken Force members unceremoniously gun down Jin, Heihachi himself dealing the final headshot. Had it not been for Devil Jin's awakening, Jin ''[[Normally I Would Be Dead Now|would have died]]''.}} Hence, his hatred for his paternal side of the family; Jin's ''T3'' profile states that he specifically ''hates'' deception.

* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: What he's aiming for.

** [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: He even goes [[Laughing Mad]] in one of his win poses to the point that you expect him to go "[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|WRYYYYYY!!!]]".

* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: And deep down, he still is. Also, [http://www.tekkenpedia.com/w/images/2/2a/Art23.jpg this.]{{Dead link}} Dawwww...

{{quote| Don't you have any special moves or something?}}

* [[Battle in the Rain]]: The ''Tekken Tag Tournament'' version of his stage.

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: In ''4'', Hwoarang grows out [[Badass Long Hair|his hair]] (which was already at shoulder's length) ''even longer'' (there's also his 2P outfit, which depicts Hwoarang as a sergeant in the Korean military). By the time of ''5'', he cuts his hair, returning it to its ''3'' length.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Named after the [[wikipedia:Hwarang|Hwarang,]] an elite group of young male warriors located in Silla, an ancient Korean kingdom from the 10th century.

* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Try showing his name to ten random people and see if they can come even ''close'' to the right pronunciation.

** In ''3'', [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]] provided Hwoarang's [[Voice Grunting]].

** Nope. Jin's characterization in ''6'' still has him as Blue. You can't get any more Red than Hwoarang.

* [[Stance System]]: More seasoned players will take advantage of the several movesets he can access by repositioning his feet and/or hands, as well as his Left and Right Flamingo stances.

{{quote| I've become pretty strong, y'know!}}

A [[Genki Girl]] whose dream is to build an amusement park in China. After suggestions by her teacher and distant relative Wang Jinrei, she visits Heihachi Mishima and begs him to build her park. Amused at the girl and surprised of her strength (she thrashed some of his guards before), he makes an offer to her: win the 3rd tournament and he'll comply. Due to this, she ends moving to Japan and attending Heihachi's private school, where she becomes a close friend of Jin.

* [[Art Shift]]: Her endings in ''3'' and ''5'' are the only instances of hand-drawn animation (not counting the prologues and epilogues introduced in ''4'') in the series. The former case includes [[Super-Deformed]].

** Oddly enough, Roger Sr. is seen watching the former in his son's ending from ''5''.

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Cute Bruiser]]

* [[Fluffy Fashion Feathers]]: Her dress in ''[http://tekken.wikia.com/wiki/File:LingTekken5.jpg 5]'' and ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130515033447/http://tekken.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ling-6.jpg 6]'' is trimmed with feathers at the shoulders, and her shoes are tied with ribbons that have white feather puff balls.

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]

* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: After being rescued by Yoshimitsu, Xiaoyu learns of the Mishima family's history and is heartbroken. Hoping to prevent Heihachi's death and return to the good times she and Jin shared, Xiaoyu joins forces with a scientist who plans to build a [[Time Travel|time machine]] if she can win the tournament. She desires to stop Heihachi from throwing a young Kazuya down the ravine. {{spoiler|It doesn't work (and if anything, Xiaoyu's actions only make it ''worse''), as the scientist tells her that they can only hope for minimal improvements at best.}}

* [[She Fu]]: Justified, as one of the forms her style is based upon (Bāguàzhǎng) requires proper flexibility, dynamic footwork, and evasive maneuvering.

* [[She Is's All Grown Up]]: Not quite to the extent of Julia, but two years have been able to bring her out of the [[Generic Cuteness]] stage.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: For Jin.

** [[Dogged Nice Guy|Dogged Nice Girl]]

* [[Waif Fu]]: With a height of 157cm157&nbsp;cm and a weight of 42kg42&nbsp;kg, Xiaoyu is the smallest of the female competitors, but can throw around guys like Jack or Marduk. Again, justified; Piguaquan (the other discipline her style draws inspiration from) is known for its explosive power.

{{quote| (''even more jaguar noises'')}}

A new boy from the first King's orphanage who takes up the name King and his mask, later trained by Armor King, and learns about the death of the first King. He enters the tournament for revenge, and although he didn't win, he is satisfied to see his predecessor's killer dead. But then, comes another news... Armor King is killed in a bar brawl, which spurs him to another revenge-bout by releasing the said murderer Craig Marduk from prison and beats the pulp out of him in the 4th tournament. But later, he realizes that revenge is not his style... until suddenly Marduk came back and challenged King while disgracing Armor King. King beats him again, but this time [[Easily Forgiven|forgives]] Marduk and they become best buds. But soon after, King learned that somehow Armor King is [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]], acts differently, and has assaulted Marduk...

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[Friend to All Children]]: Like his predecessor, it's frequently mentioned in the [[All There in the Manual|background info]] that he likes kids. This is a good trait for someone who runs an orphanage.

** [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: He appears to have a short temper. [[Berserk Button|Especially if you mess with people he cares about.]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: [[John Cena|STF]], [[The Undertaker|Tombstone]] [[Wrestler/Kane (wrestling)|Piledriver]], [[Dwayne Johnson|Corporate Elbow]], [[Ted DiBiase|Cobra Clutch]], [[Professional Wrestling|... he's the one who keeps adding and adding.]]

** His ending in ''5'' has him and Marduk perform a [[Combination Attack]] that you'd see coming from [[Kinnikuman|Kinnikuman and Terryman]].

{{quote| What do ''you'' want?}}

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

** Not helped by the fact that [[Game Breaker|balance issues]] early on made this a semi-viable strategy with Eddy.

* [[Cool Shades]]: Anyone else miss those rad shades he had in ''3''?

* [[Evil Laugh]]: One of his winposes in ''3'', oddly enough, is a sinister laugh.

{{quote| (''more bear noises'')}}

** [[Cool Pet]]: Seriously. A ''panda'' bodyguard that knows how to fight?

** In fact, [[Word of God|series director Katsuhiro Harada]] ''has'' given thought to giving the two separate spaces of late; it depends on the roster size.

{{quote| Spirits, give me strength. }}

Adopted daughter of Michelle Chang. When Michelle got caught by Heihachi Mishima, Julia enters the third King of Iron Fist tournament to rescue her. She succeeded, but failed to retrieve her pendant, but Michelle tells her not to bother with it and they continue on with their lives.

{{spoiler|[[Word of God]], Katsuhiro Harada, has confirmed that for ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'', Julia has donned a wrestling mask and is standing in for her friend, who was injured in a match. She goes by the name of "Jaycee" and her moveset is expanded beyond her Chinese martial arts to include lucha libre-inspired techniques as well. More can be found on the [[Main/Tekken Tag Tournament/2Characters/Characters7|respective character page]].}}

** [[She Is's All Grown Up]]: Two years have done ''wonders'' for her.

* [[Bootstrapped Theme]]: In a sense. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOJC1K4IJDc BGM] that accompanied all of the hidden characters (sans Heihachi and Ogre) in ''3'' was reworked to become [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYnjHcB3DM8 Julia's theme in the home port.]

* [[Braids, Beads, and Buckskins]]

{{quote| [[Evil Laugh|HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!]]}}

* [[Beating a Dead Player]]: Starting in ''4'', Bryan gains a [[Victory Pose]] where there's a close-up shot of Bryan ([[Slasher Smile]] and all) ''[[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|viciously mutilating his defeated opponent]]'', complete with ''audible cracks and poundings''.

* [[Expy]]: Of Roy Batty from ''[[Blade Runner]]''. He's even referred to as a ''Replicant'' in his ''Tekken 3'' profile.

* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: That's his view of the world, anyway. As far as Bryan is concerned, good is inherently hypocritical--ithypocritical—it can't exist in the first place. Only the naive, the deceptive, and the monstrous exist. He's the third, of course.

* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: When Bryan is on the verge of death after confronting Dr. Abel, Yoshimitsu saves him out of the kindness of his heart and entrusts him to Dr. Bosconovitch, who in turn says that he'll transfer Bryan's consciousness into a new, metallic body. When Bryan's design is shown to be too complex, Dr. B instead installs a perpetual generator into Bryan. Bryan's show of gratitude? He ''slaughters'' most of Yoshimitsu's brother-in-arms and knocks the poor doctor out cold. '''''[[Skyward Scream|DAMN YOU, FURY!]]'''''

{{quote| (''[[Overly Long Gag|wood noises]]'') }}

* [[Chained by Fashion]]: [[Sealed Good in a Can|A rare ocassion of the good example.]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Mokujin is Japanese for "wooden man", [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|which is exactly what it is]]--a—a man made of wood. Tetsujin from ''TTT'', on the other hand, is a "[[Chrome Champion|metal man]]".

* [[Nature Spirit]]: Mokujin only awakens when great evils plague mankind and returns to its slumber when the evil has been vanquished.

* [[Shout-Out]]: He is one to the [[Jackie Chan]] movie ''Shaolin Wooden Men''.

* [[Blow You Away]]: Monstrous Ogre.

* [[Body Horror]]: His ending depicts his transformation into True Ogre as this.

* [[Mind Over Matter]]: A few of his moves involve telekinesis.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]

* [[Nice Hat|Nice Headdress]]

* [[Playing with Fire]]: [[Reality Ensues|Of course]], you can't block it.

** [[Breath Weapon]]

** [[Rain of Arrows]]: In ''Devil Within''.

* [[Power Floats]]

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]

* [[Sequential Boss]]: In ''Devil Within''. For the [[Final Boss]] [[Boss Battle|Battle]], you face True Ogre ''again'', and then ''his'' [[One-Winged Angel]], Monstrous Ogre.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Base-form Ogre is [[Walking Shirtless Scene|shirtless]] and resembles an Aztec god.

* [[The Unintelligible]]: Ogre can speak, but his words are [[Speaking Simlish|nothing more than gibberish]]. His [[One-Winged Angel|One Winged Angels]] just roar.

Tropes associated with Dr. Bosconovich:

* [[The Cameo]]: In ''Tekken Tag Tournament'', he appears among the crowd in the Bowling mini-game.

* [[Child Prodigy]]: He developed a new type of ballistic missile at the age of 12.

* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: His role all throrough the series.

* [[Joke Character]]: In his only playable incarnation (''Tekken 3''), he's unable to stand upright, falling into his back after being hit or moving for a while, and has a lot of troubles to recover his footing. His gameplay revolves around spinning and kicking while laying down.

** [[Confusion Fu]]: What do you expect from a character whose intro involves him falling to the ground and having to rely on crabwalking for the rest of the match?

* [[ReluctantEngineer MadExploited ScientistFor Evil]]: To a degree.

* [[The Rival]]: Dr. Abel.

* [[Shout-Out]]: His first name is Geppetto and he creates a being in the image of a human. [[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Hmm...]]

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: In early games he was Bos'''k'''onovitch.

A [[Guest Fighter]] from the [[Gon|manga of the same name]], exclusive of the console port. A tiny dinosaur who's given no actual reason to exist in the ''Tekken'' tournament.

Tropes associated with Gon:

** [[Lethal Joke Character]]: All jokes aside-- Gonaside—Gon is a complete [[Game Breaker]]. Most characters have roughly the same height; even Xiaoyu isn't ''that'' much shorter than any of the other competitors, and only characters like True Ogre are really that big. Gon, on the other hand, doesn't even come up to those character's ''waists''. He's too short to be hit by any characters' standing punches, or even their kicks most of the time, and half of his attacks can't be blocked by [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!|conventional methods]]. On top of that, many of his attacks are easily [[Button Mashing|spammable]] (including one where all you do is press O rapidly and he whips his tail around whilst spinning), or hard to avoid if you aren't able to react (he has a devastating charge attack-- thoughattack—though his [[Hoist by His Own Petard|small size]] makes this attack easily jumped over; his fireball attack, however, is much faster and harder to dodge).
