TEKKEN 8 - Reina's Real Identity | Full Story 

Jin in Tekken 9: " Ah shit ! Here we go again…"

At the start when Reina was fighting Jin in the tournament, I thought her goal was to help Jin regain his devil powers and came to the conclusion that threat of life was needed but actually she was just using Jin to test on how to awaken her own devil powers hence why she fights kazuya alone in italy and why she decided to tank the lazer. Really changed the meaning when Reina said "Still not enough from the looks of it" when fighting kazuya in Italy, I first thought she thought that she didn't buy enough time for Claudio's attack but really the threat to her life was the one that was not enough to awaken her

There's still a bit of mystery to her since she is questionably a Mishima with Kazami's blood. Either Heihachi succeeded in giving her, a 'bastard' child such power or she's Jin's secret aunt presumably kept in cold storage like Nina was.

Even though they say she's his daughter, I still suspect that she may actually be a clone of him. She acts a little too much like Heihachi for it to be just idealization, and Heihachi having another bastard child that is also super strong seems unlikely. Maybe she's like some genetic hodgepodge of Heihachi, Kazuya, and Jin.

It's so funny but I love that thing everyone speak their main language and everyone understand each other.

Nina is so Clever She already understood everything

After seeing the ending, I'm starting to realize that her Rage Art hints at her having Devil Powers.🤯

What if Heihachi in secret, somehow extracted the devil gene from Kazuya and gave it to Reina. After all Heihachi was always interested in the devil gene power.

Reina is not a lore-friendly character. She's Heihachi's daughter, but is around the same age as Jin or Asuka, having graduating from Mishima Polytechnical School. She calls Jin her "senpai" meaning he's older by a minimum of a year. So Heihachi had to have been getting around some time after Jin was born, even though Kazuya and Lars (and Lee who he adopted) are around the same age. I'm okay with Heihachi having a daughter and even okay with having her just the same age as some of the younger characters. What doesn't sit well with me is that Kazuya got his devil gene from his mother Kazumi Hachijo-Mishima, not his father Heihachi Mishima. The gene is passed down by Kazuya in the direct Mishima bloodline, not Heihachi or his father Jinpachi. It explains why Lars, the half-brother of Kazuya and the son of Heihachi can't access the devil gene that he doesn't carry. Hachijo is the bloodline where the devil gene started, so Reina having that ability when she's canonically the HALF-sister to Kazuya and the daughter of Heihachi (not Kazumi) makes no sense as he doesn't carry the gene. There are no signs or hints that she was any kind of experimentation in the story of Tekken 8. Maybe it might be retconned in Tekken 9 or some spin-off game, or perhaps elaborated further by a movie or something... But as of now, she's just the daughter of Heihachi. The Mishima Polytechnical branch (the same one that captured Nina Williams) was closed after killing off all the children in failed experiments except for one - Steve Fox, so she couldn't have been experimented on because the division was botched right before her conception, as she is younger than Jin and this took place before Tekken 2. However she was trained as an assassin by the school branch, which Lee seemed to be aware of. She also has no suspicious activities nor background fallacies when they checked her for the King of Iron Fist's 8th Tournament. So canonically through bloodline, nor through experimentation could she have had the devil gene. So unless she is just confused somehow or her background gets retconned, she is a far-cry from being lore-friendly. At least Kazumi from Tekken 7 had a consistent background to make her lore friendly...

13:36 that kick was personal..

Lili now the winner of tekken tournament, because Kazuya leaving the arena. No wonder Reina very mad.

14:52 I have been saying this the MOMENT I saw her : "That. . . Is a Mishima."

He's been working on learning how to control the devil powers his whole life. Don't think too far into it. He simply made her. She a real human with injected powers. And of course he wouldn't do it on him bc he didnt know the side affects. Which is why she's studying jin so much to take back the information. It's a pretty straight forward story line tbt

They understand each other languages like they have subtitles on their mind

Glad to see T8 still have legendary "Jin Walk."

Anyone ever considered Reina could’ve been a Hachijo (kazumi) family.

Tekken 9 probably be a timeskip which the main character will Jins's kid and that Kid name will be Kyuu Kazama. Oddy enough Kyuu mean 9 in Japanese and also used a Japanese term to used in modern martial arts.

Reina Hachijo-Mishima: new villain Tekken 9 New protag: Jin's son

I have a crack theory that Heihachi had Kazumi's body preserved somewhere so that he can delve deeper about the devil gene. He was still somehow able to get, preserve, and freeze several of Kazumi's eggs. Which resulted to Reina... Besides, Heihachi had a past history of experimenting with genetics and how the devil gene was passed down. In fact, at first, he thought that the devil gene works like an STD and he could've gotten it (he was wrong with this assumption, as proven by Lars' existence). Also, they did the same thing with Nina, which resulted to Steve, so it's not far off that Heihachi would do that...

Somehow Heihachi returns… …That’s a nice cliff. I’ll see myself there.

Several factors to consider: Reina adores Heihachi which means she knew him on a personal level. She knows the Mishima-Style which had to have been taught to her by Heihachi. Heihachi took a liking to Ling Xiaoyu for a reason that could be she reminds him of Reina. I believe he personally raised her in secret as a foil to Kazuya with future offspring should he fail in defeating him.

When Jinpachi died you guys didn't think that devil gene-ogre like demon just vanished into thin air, right? It searched the earth for months finding a new host and with this hot blooded girl dead from Kazuya's beam. She was the perfect person to possess someone who had the desire to kill unlike Jinpachi

She is probably a clone made by Heihachi’s blood mixed with the devil gene.

So Heihachi blowing Lars’ mom’s back out was ultimately for nothing huh.

I have a question: how did Reina inherit the devil gene if she's not Kazumi's daughter?

She may be a genetically engineered daughter of heihachi and kazumi since she is compatible for devil gene

In the game they do mention that the devil gene was given to certian humans by Azazel. Maybe she's relates to another bloodline which was granted the gene; since we know that Kazumi is long dead and Heohachi never possessed the gene itself.

5:19 "And we... are the TEKKEN 8!"

I hope more info on Reina comes out either by DLC or Tekken 9. Though I doubt it'll be DLC since I don't think there are any fighting games that used DLC to expand on story so it'll likely be Tekken 9. We definitely need backstory on Reina since it looks like she dealt with Jin and Kazuya to learn more about the devil form and on how to trigger her own. Like, since we seen that Jinpachi is definitely not fully Human so would this mean that whatever Jinpachi is, those genes skipped past Kazuya and become inherited by Reina? Since it is possible for genes to skip a generation for bloodlines. Lastly, I must admit, I love how the shadow of Heihachi haunts some of the people in the game.

I believe that in Tekken 9 Reina will start a fight against Kazuya but Kazuya himself might be a changed man because of Jun Kazama. I don't know if Jin will play some role in all of it. It might be Kazuya Jun and Jin against Reina. The Mishimas might become a family after all.

So Reina has to be Heihachi's cloned daughter. After discovering Lars didn't inherit devil powers from him, Kazuya came back from the dead being thrown from a cliff as a child after having devil powers inherited by his late wife Kazumi and discovering that Jin can't be controlled it makes sense he'd make someone unquestionably loyal to him with powers of the Devil. Having his death be the catalyst of her inherited will as both a Mishima and devil it's almost too good not to be true.

The general feel I got from Heihachi in all of his endings is how he wanted to be youthful/immortal, i can’t remember that one ending, maybe T6/TTT2? But I feel like reina is either a clone of him OR he’s transferred his consciousness into her. Who knows… either way she’s a great addition and I’m excited to see what they do with her character in future installments… god I hope Jun is actually alive from that ending

ok im confused cause reina is not from the same mother (kazumi) no? so why does she have the devil gene? i hope we get DLCs to see more of her story cause i dont want to wait 7-9 years to see her story

I thought the Devil Gene came from Kazumi’s side of the family

Heihachi got from Buff old Bi-polar grandpa to Cute girl with demonic powers. T9 is probably gonna be her revealing she's heihachi ☠️

From everything we see so far, the only possible origin for Reina I think is that Heihachi either had a child with a second wife, lab grown her or adopted her, and experimented the devil gene on her, then train her in the Mishima style. Which explains why she isn't able to use the devil power and why she's in Mishima polytechnic

Tekken forever!!!

How does she have the Devil Gene from being Heihachi's child? I thought kazumi was the devil gene holder of the Mishima bloodline not heihachi

Jin's whole story was to erase the demon powers with angel power now who's going to stop Reina with her demon power? I'm guessing Jin had angel power's left or is it kazuyas redemption idk what will happen in the next story since there's nothing that can rival demon powers other than angel which the only character who had angel power's is Jin

Remember also that heihachi father possess the devil gene he can extract everywhere. He has many options

Ngl based of how her devil form looked its looks like a combination of jin devil form and kazuya 🤔

I feel like Reina let kazuya beam hit her in purpose, she knows she cant win against kazuya or jin she studied jin when fighting him and learned that devil can be awaken when feeling threat of dying, and that's how Reina unlocked her devil power, now her villian arc begins.

She's probably a clone of Heihachi and Kazumi, that's why she has the devil gene and heihachi's move set, She's basically a perfected Kazuya.

She has to be Kazumi's daughter also in order to have devil genes ,but Kazumi was killed when Kazuya was not even 5 years old. Kazuya is now 50 yo... something doesn't seems right. Maybe she is a clone after all cause she is very young

I’m wondering if Heihachi created Reina with his DNA and Kazumi’s? She acts like him and has the Devil gene. His side of the family lacks the Devil gene.

She has the devil gene but idk how because it’s not a Mishima trait

played Tekken when I was a kid, does it worth buying now? i have no clue because im not play fighting games at all. but the graphics and story look intresting

My theory is that she is Kazuya's daughter and similar to Jin, Heihachi took her in and raised her, so she classes him as a father figure. Makes more sense with her age (being younger than Jin) as opposed to being the daughter of Kazumi or clone theory. Makes her legit of carrying the devil gene (unless she is a descendant of another bloodline that Azazel gave the gene to).

Stranger A: This Reina is a threat to us all. Stranger B: That I have to agree. We need to examine her thoroughly. Stranger A: Affirmative. I have a sinister feeling she has to be either the reincarnation or a female replicant of Heihachi Mishima. Stranger B: Or perhaps......the long, lost daughter of Heihachi Mishima.

6:59 Jin's auntie is too strong. Even stronger than kazuya's devil form until he used devil's ability.

I think she’s a clone M.Bison has done it before, why not another overlord?

11:11 Subtitle for Victor it's written Claudio... Can't say I saw you pulling my ass out of the fire. That's not what he said at all. Bad translation. He says in french; Claudio... qui nous sauve tous, je ne l'aurais jamais imaginé. In english is Claudio... who saved all of us, I never could have imagine. I have trouble believing that companies nowadays cannot hire better translator. The sense of the sentence is completely different. Not only did he not use a metaphor as pulling X ass of the fire, which at the same time, metaphor as a way to color someone speech, which is underserved because he didn't. Also in the game subtitle, he says "My ass" (instead of saving us), it's simply not accurate, he said "saved all of us". Sometime things are lost in translation and comedy is near impossible to translate from one language to another, but this was just lazy translation.

I do think she is a true Mishima and not a clone simply because like Jin sees a overshadow of Heihachi in Reina; Kazuya sees an over shadow of Heihachi in Lars which to me doesn't seem like a coincidence

my theory? reina is heihachis daughter technically but i think shes more so a clone of kazuya like how steve is technically a clone of nina but with extra steps. given the tekken lore i assume she respects heihachi over kazuya because of what kazuya has done.

Theory: Reina is a scientific byproduct (cloning and genetics) of Heihachi Mishima's attempts to replicate the devil gene and make it a weapon. However, it turns out to be a failure since Heihachi cannot make her as powerful as Kazuya and Jin.

someone can explain me how she got the devil gene please ? I thought the devil gene came from the kazumi mishima not heihachi....

Ela n tem devil gene .. ela e suposta filha de heihache Mishima .. com isso possui michima estilo de luta .. bem parecido com seu suposto pai.. atr sua personalidade e parecida

I cant help but feel i missed somwthing pretty big between the Jack 8 scene and the throne room

Looks like a new demon has appeared. In her ending, after Yggdrasil's forces apprehended Kazuya Mishima, Reina says she's gonna rebuild the Mishima Zaibatsu.

The amazing thing about TEKKEN is that it makes everyone They understand some of what they say without translation or taking language lessons 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Reina headbutting truedevil kazuya was the best moment in this story

Don't try this at home. It's a movie. Dont try to laser someone, he'll die. (The movie was made by professionals. No one was injured or died during the scenes)

Reina like Asuka but both are different between have angel and devil power.

Jin after this: and the cycle never end

I thought the last game showed that the devil gene came from Kazumi and didn't Heihachi create Lars in a test tube with just his own DNA to confirm this? Reina having the devil gene makes no sense. I'm so confuse.

mishima love for kuma is endless

Devil Reina is something else 😯

Kinda don't understand, where does reina get her devil gene? Heihachi doesn't has any devil gene right?

Idk if anyone noticed but reina fought jin to learn how the devils power works. Then allowed kazuya to hit her with his laser to awaken her devil power

My theory for Reina is that she is an altered female clone of Kazuya like X-23 and Wolverine which is why she sees herself as the daughter of Heihachi but also has the devil-gene

the bear uppercut interception had me dead 😭

she's heihachi's clone mixed with kazumi's gene.

i just can’t believe im seeing a child of heihachi that actually has some love for him.

Watch Heihachi return too with a devil form that he never knew he had

What if she’s a female clone of Kazuya like x-23 with wolverine she’d still be heihachis daughter technically maybe he made her to have a version of Kazuya on his side and trained he from jump knowing the kind of potential she’d have and was so impressed he raised her as an actual daughter behind closed doors

Reina is actually an experiment children lead by Heihachi and Dr. Abel. Also Heihachi has 25 illegitimate son because of his ambition and the chaos never ending because of Heihachi.

Some thing feels messed up ,Heihachi had a child who is younger or the same age as Jin and jin's father is Kazuya ,which makes Rin be jin's Aunt

Mashima...... Man this family is f*ck up.......let me guess if there is a tekken 9 final boss will be reina... So this mean jin and kazuya team up vs reina......i think lars will join in the fight... As reina punching bag..... I keep forgetting lars also a mashima.... Cause his the only mashima i know didn't throw out of the cliff or volcano.......

I’m in love with her

And i also thinking....Maybe in the upcoming Tekken 9, Reina wants to dominate a world like Kazuya... I think Reina wants the rest of the Mishima family to unite with her...There is no way that Jin and Kazuya's demon powers can just disappear...reina must have her own purpose

Remember That Jinpachi was possesed by a demon. Also Heihachi was tryibg to take the devil gene. So im thinkig either they can absorb energy or she is Kazumi secret daughter?🤔

The is is legit too good

Hot take: I don’t think Reina having the Devil Gene is canon. Unless specified that she came from Kazumi as well, the cutscenes where she gained them could be considered as part of her headcanon, much like the end cutscene to her story

I honestly thought she Was going to be Kazuya's child, It'll be interesting to see how her story unfolds.

i think jun kazama will help kazuya since he doesnt have the devil powers anymore

Tekken Universe: No Language Barrier mode..

i seen a theory that shes a crio baby like steve except steve escaped and never got the devil jean. reina probably didnt .

Oh lawd here we go again

It means in tekken 9 we wont have Zafina, the astrologer and Claudio., the exorcist. How sad 😢

i feel bad for anyone on youtube now before playing the story, i was legit just looking for game ost to link for friend, was listening to arcade quest music and I literally got this vid in suggestions on side. was lucky I just finished the story. Change this thumbnail dude for at least first week. Legit video uploaded 13 hours ago and launch happened 7 hours ago and you upload major spoilers on thumbnail. Dont think capcom should be sending copy of the game to someone like this

They did Lars dirty

how did reina have a devil genes? i thought devil genes is came from kazuyas mom not from heihachi

0:42 - She looks like Eimi Fukuda

So you're telling me that jin understands, korean, japanese, english, italian, and all the other character's languages. Man what a catch

I knew something *WAS OFF* with Reina from the get-go, even before Tekken 8 was released, but her having the Ketsu No Devil?!?!?! (Devil’s Blood). We got to arrest Reina in Tekken 9.

She pretty much stronger version of heihachi which make her dangerous

The irony of Heihachi having a child after Kazuha is the fact that she has the Devil Gene too. I can't help but laugh at the thought of Heihachi making the same mistake twice. At that point it's not even a mistake, he just can't help himself.

i feel like kazuyas gonna go through some kratos style redemption arc which will lead to jin and kazuya teaming up to fight reina cause they got no more devil powers

Heihachi is definitely rolling in his nonexistent grave.

Hey Guys, i think is Not the end of Story in tekken 8, i think tekken 9 came Back The Story with reina
