Line 12:
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
When he learns that once again his father and grandpa are against that, he announces the 6th tournament...
Line 31:
** [[Badass Longcoat]]: Wears one in his fifth game epilogue, and gains it as his second costume in ''Tekken 6''.
* [[Big Bad]]: As of ''Tekken 6''. {{spoiler|Nah, it's a subversion.}}
* [[Blessed
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Calls out both father and grandpa.
Line 48:
* [[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]].
** As a human, you can strap white angel wings to Jin's back in ''Tekken 5'' (you can also give him a halo).
** As of ''[[Tekken: Blood Vengeance]]'' and ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'', his "true" Devil form sports giant, gold, angelic-looking wings.
* [[Heroic Bastard]]
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: He even quotes the last part of Nietzche's passage after the final battle with him in Scenario Campaign, {{spoiler|understanding what his desperate gambit to erase Azazel and the Devil Gene had made him into.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: What he ultimately hopes to accomplish with the war he started in ''Tekken 6''. His final act in Scenario Mode is the logical finalization of this.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Has the same [[Isshin Chiba|seiyuu]] as [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure
* [[In Name Only]]: Not in terms of his characterization, but due to his ''fighting style''. In ''Tekken 3'' and ''Tekken Tag Tournament'', Jin played more or less the same as Kazuya, but since ''Tekken 4'', [[Divergent Character Evolution|he's instead used a more traditional style of karate]]. Depending on when you jumped into the series (i.e. before or after ''Tekken 4''), either his appearances before or after the change can fall under this.
* [[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]].
Line 72:
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: At the end of his ''Tekken 5'' ending, Jin plops himself down on the Zaibatsu throne in the traditional pose. Likewise, when you arrive to fight him in ''Tekken 6'''s Arcade mode, he's also sitting the same way.
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Only a handful of characters see Jin's ''deredere'' side.
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: [[Exactly What It Says
** [[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 Jo's Bizarre Adventure
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[Tragic Hero]]: At first. Now he looks like a full blown villain.
** {{spoiler|Alas, no. He's still a [[Tragic Hero]] through and through.}}
*** {{spoiler|He starts off normal enough. Mother went missing fighting a monster and seeks out only person who can help. Defeats monster and then things take a swan dive. Betrayed by his grandfather and saved only by the corrupting devil gene he continues to try to fight for good and destroy evil, whatever it takes to find it and whatever steps needed to destroy it.}}
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: In ''Tekken 3'', Heihachi uses it for his own plans to attract and capture Ogre. [[Spanner in
* [[Used to Be
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Subverted. It appeared he would be the protagonist again for ''Tekken 6'', both based on the ending of ''Tekken 5'' and the fact the first version of ''Tekken 6'' didn't include Lars. However, after Lars was introduced in ''Bloodline Rebellion'' and the console version added Scenario Campaign to establish his story, it's clear Jin is not the actual protagonist of ''Tekken 6'' (and is probably the case going forward). He is 100% the antagonist of ''Tekken 6'' (with Azazel serving as the [[Bigger Bad]] at the end of Scenario Campaign).
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
Line 95:
* [[Badass]]: As of ''6'', Hwoarang is the ''only'' fighter to have beaten Jin in a Tournament match. {{spoiler|Too bad about Devil Jin though.}}
* [[Badass Biker]]
* [[Battle in
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
Line 101:
* [[Extremity Extremist]]
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Due to his name being hard to spell by western players he got nicknamed Bob. But now that there's an actual Bob on the roster...
** Fans now spell Bob (the nickname, [[Fun
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: ''Tekken'' be damned if its resident gang leader wasn't [[Hot-Blooded]].
* [[Foe Yay]]
Line 108:
* [[She's Got Legs|He's Got Legs]] and [[Who Wears Short Shorts?|Wears Short-Shorts]]: [http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/aznboysrfr/hwoarang07.jpg If this customization from TTT2 has anything to say about it.]
* [[Jerkass]]
** [[Jerk
* [[La Résistance]]: In ''6''. Although Alisa isn't sure this would have worked all that well with him leading it, since his own motivations were more about thumping his hated rival than releasing the world from the Zaibatsu's wrath.
* [[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.
Line 160:
* [[She Fu]]: Justified, as one of the forms her style is based upon (Bāguàzhǎng) requires proper flexibility, dynamic footwork, and evasive maneuvering.
* [[She Is 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
** [[Dogged Nice Guy|Dogged Nice Girl]]
* [[Waif Fu]]: With a height of 157cm and a weight of 42kg, 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.
** [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|There's a much easier justification, though.]]
* [[Yumi Touma]]: Her seiyuu.
** [[The Other Darrin]]: ''[[Tekken: Blood Vengeance|Blood Vengeance]]'' however had not [[Yumi Touma]] but [[Maaya Sakamoto]] voicing her.
Line 182:
* [[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.
* [[Generation Xerox]]/[[Expy]]: The original King was patterned off of [[wikipedia:Fray Tormenta|Fray Tormenta,]] who was succeeded by an child from his orphanage.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Obviously. This is also pretty notable that in spite of many things taking a [[Darker and Edgier]] turn and many men are at best [[Jerk
** [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: He appears to have a short temper. [[Berserk Button|Especially if you mess with people he cares about.]]
* [[Animal Motifs|Jaguar Motif]]
* [[Professional Wrestling]]
* [[Revenge]]: Seems to deal with it a lot, more than the 1st King.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[John Cena|STF]], [[The Undertaker|Tombstone]] [[Wrestler/Kane|Piledriver]], [[Dwayne Johnson|Corporate Elbow]], [[Ted
** His ending in ''5'' has him and Marduk perform a [[Combination Attack]] that you'd see coming from [[Kinnikuman|Kinnikuman and Terryman]].
*** And let's not forget he has the Kinniku/Muscle Buster, the trademark [[Finishing Move]] of the Kinniku lineage.
Line 237:
Tropes associated with Panda:
* [[Ass Kicks You]] and [[Fartillery]]: From [[Send in
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: To Xiaoyu.
Line 245:
** 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.
** Panda is getting her own slot for ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'', so the trope has been struck down.
* [[Pandaing to
* [[Send in
* [[The Unintelligible]]: At this point, it's a given.
Line 256:
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.
Years later, Julia moved to the city and started a research to save her barren homeland. Getting in the way of her research datas are usually the Mishima Zaibatsu, so she usually had to enter the tournaments to continue her research. After much ups and downs in researches, she succeeded, but shortly after she received a warning from Zafina about two forbidden stars clashing that could spell [[The End of the World
{{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/2/Characters|respective character page]].}}
Line 300:
* [[Blood Knight]]: "Reasons and motives are just afterthoughts. It's fighting that keeps us monsters alive." Note that this is his response to ''[[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Azazel's]]'' [[Motive Rant]].
* [[Corrupt Cop]]: Pre-cyborg, anyway. He apparently decided to shed the pretense of social acceptability when he got so much power from Abel and Boskonovitch's adjustments.
* [[Covered
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Expy]]: Of Roy Batty from ''[[Blade Runner]]''. He's even referred to as a ''Replicant'' in his ''Tekken 3'' profile.
Line 322:
Tropes associated with Mokujin:
* [[Chained
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: Imitates almost any fighter in the game it's in. In some cases, it also needs to borrow some props.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Mokujin is Japanese for "wooden man", [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Nature Spirit]]: Mokujin only awakens when great evils plague mankind and returns to its slumber when the evil has been vanquished.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Its ''Tekken 6'' ending features it becoming an [[Evil Overlord]]... revealed through a storybookish cartoon cinematic. Although, given that the actual [[Evil Overlord]] coronation is an obvious echo of Jin's ''5'' ending, perhaps it's better thought of not as darkness always being in Mokujin's... um... heartwood, but rather as it somehow falling prey to [[He Who Fights Monsters]] (and that's ''if'' you take this ending even remotely seriously).
Line 353:
* [[Nice Hat|Nice Headdress]]
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: True Ogre. He does this ''again'' in ''Devil Within'' with Monstrous Ogre.
* [[Playing
** [[Breath Weapon]]
** [[Rain of Arrows]]: In ''Devil Within''.
Line 359:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[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.
Line 382:
* [[Reluctant Mad Scientist]]: 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
** Actually, that spelling first appeared in ''T3''. ''6'' simply restored the original spelling.
Line 395:
* [[Guest Fighter]]: Even before ''[[Soul Series|Soulcalibur]]'' did it.
* [[Joke Character]]: He's very obviously in this game as a joke, and much of what he does (especially his fartillery) comes across as pure [[Rule of Funny]], and not a character who was included to be a serious competitive choice, or even one that has anything to do with the storyline!
** [[Lethal Joke Character]]: All jokes aside-- 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-- though his [[Hoist
* [[Playing
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Almost everything Gon does, in stark contrast to many of the dark storylines and endings of the other characters.
** His ending {{spoiler|is on an endless loop, which will play endlessly until you skip the cutscene.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: He uses gloves a-la Alex, and his 2nd costume has him in a shell, either in reference to the [[Super Mario Bros.|Koopas]] or [[Godzilla|Gamera]].
* [[Your Size May Vary]]: His ending has some issues on this: Gon looks relatively big compared to a panther/bear, but then incredibly small against a ''seagull''.
