The History Of Jinpachi Mishima - Tekken 8 Edition 

Jinpachi is one of the most difficult final bosses ever to beat.

Jinpachi is the textbook definition of the road to hell is paved with good intentions. After realizing what the Mishima Zaibautsu had become during World War II, he tried to turn things around and for a time, everything was fine. Did you know the surname Mishima means beautiful island in Japanese?

This would never happen but a tekken prequel with jinpachi as the main character would be awesome. I can imagine young wang and teen Heihachi aswell.

Despite how little he is shown in the overall story Jinpachi is one of my favorite mishimas right behind kazuya

Strangely enough, Jinpachi's path honestly mirrors Jin's because both of them are repentant Class A war criminals who tried/are trying to atone for their sins. Hopefully, Jin's quest doesn't end so tragically, and he can really, finally put his great-grandpa's spirit to rest.

Despite being dead in Tekken 5, I will always love Jinpachi Mishima due to his design and his sash/cloth thing around his waist. He was watching the battles from the heavens from T6 onwards. (Not exactly what happened btw.)

This poor guy didn't deserve any of this.

Once Heihachi had his heart broken, he closed it forevermore and became one for the streets.

I’d love to see Jinpachi return and be playable again.

Jinpachi Mishima. While only having had a role in Tekken 5 as the villain, it is through those little interactions in the different endings that you learn his true character. While he rose to power during the world wars, he was unhappy with that success, knowing the lives it had cost. He was always very aware of what power the Mishimas hold within. Instead of seeking more destruction, he wanted a more peaceful way of life. One pursuing martial arts. A man greatly respected for his perspective, integrity and good heart. It hit me the most when I was young and decided to play the Arcade ladder in T5 with Wang. The bittersweet reunion, Jinpachi's happiness to see his old friend again before turning to dust and leaving a grieving Wang behind. Even in Wang's Tekken 6 Ending, he mentions Jinpachi, telling him they will see each other soon after having spend the last of his energy against warding off Azazel. And then there is Kazuya's ending. Even with Heihachi paying no attention to him, Kazuya could have grown up into a fine man, having had his mother to take care of him and his grandfather teaching him the values of humility, respect and true strength. Those small seconds with the shadows of both, a young Kazuya hitting the mitts smiling as the old man watched over him with pride, hit deeply. But it was those very few sentimentalities that Kazuya needed to kill if he truly wanted to become a devil. Had Heihachi not staged a coup, the entire timeline would have been radically different. He is truly a tragic character and seeing him playable in TTT2 was a wish come true. Concerning the retcon of him having the devil gene though does pop up the question what spirit could have possessed him. If the Mishimas go all the way back to the heian period, they might have existed during the times of the genpei war or have been a rival clan alongside the Minamoto and Taira. Not to mention that a lot of myths of oni would spawn during that time, which would go well with the scroll seen in T8's intro. If the Mishimas of the past were as strong as Heihachi or Jinpachi, they were a formidable force that could have changed all of Japan's history. The spirit could have been a slain oni from the past, or if we tie it more into Jinpachi's perspective of wanting to change the Mishimas, perhaps the amalgamation of people's souls slain by Mishimas throughout history. But that is just me speculating a lot until something is changed again. Jinpachi is a great character and once it is time for TTT3, I hope to see him again. I wonder what his reaction would be to Reina.

Ogre and Jinpachi are my top 2 dlc characters for Tekken 8.

I would not be mad if he is a DLC character in the future, I always liked his design and I think it would be cool to see him interact with all the other Mishimas on the roster.

I hope Jinpachi would return on why the Mishima is cursed even before Heihachi was born and his friendship with Jinrei

I can’t imagine what Jinpachi would’ve been like in his heyday 🤨 an absolute beast who, even decades after his death, is still important to the story.

Thank for all those “histories”. I’m learning a lot of interesting things about Tekken characters

Jinpachi never got the Devil gene.

You should have used the cutscene winning animation with Tekken Tag Tournament 2, with Heihachi and Jinpachi, where Heihachi opens a trap door and Jinpachi falls trapping him.

I hope my eyebrows are half as strong as his when I'm 80

U and uncaged r my favorites to watch 🦉

5:39 Kazuya would have turned out a lot better had Jinpachi brought him up.

1899. He is old. I read that the 1st Tekken game take place in 1987 but is from a website, so it may not be canon. Do you know what year the 1st Tekken game take place in

I hope the next tekken game will be another tag tournament and they bring him back

i would love to see these two back in Tekken 8.....the GOD OF FIGHTING needs a epic return man lol

So he's the iron man of tekken.....great

I seriously hope they make a ttt3 with him and many others in it

Jinpachi is basically Tony stark

More Jinpachi is needed

they can bring Pai Mei into the lore and make him the mystical Master of white lotus making him even more interesting 🤔

I’m like 264 bro I love u videos I hope more people watch these jawns

My favorite Mishima

Since you covered the other Mishima's could you please do Kazumi Mishima as well. I really hope she returns to Tekken 8

History of Nina Williams

Do ogre or raven next

Anyone related to Azazel's devil power is having a common outlook. Bunch of crystals 😂

There’s one thing we learn from tekken, a mishima will always come back a second time

For all the newest members of the mishima family introduced overtime including Reina. Jinpachi still to me is the best. He's like sindel in mk. A character who looks evil or someone you don't want to mess with. Then it turns out they are actually tragic Heroes. You only get snippets of lore through arcade battle story moments but it's actually so much more interesting than the story we get about Kazumi or even Reina. The fact Kazuya and Wang respected him more than Heihachi is massive. Him even being revived and as a last ditch effort, sets a tournament and calls his best friend to kill him before evil overcomes him. Really wished they'd bring him back as a DLC character

Jinpachi was not born in 1899. More like 1912 considering Tekken 2 said Richard Williams was alive in 1996.

I would buy tekken 8’right away if he was dlc. I know it makes no sense to the story but he would be Wildddd!!!

Hope he comes back one day i really only play tag 2 because of him hes just so fucking cool.

I watch your videos on 2x speed, and even that is too slowly paced.

The fact that if Jin didnt manage to defeat Jinpachi then Jinpachi would've been the strongest character in Tekken since in his ending it was showed that he was becoming more and more powerful the longer he lives with the Evil Spirit/Devil Gene's insife him

Do asuka Kazama next

I felt like Jinpachi was challenging, unlike Azazel, who was just cheap and unfair. To this day, I still don"t understand the mechanics of beating that thing. I felt like I beat Jinpachi with skill and understanding. I beat Azazel with random luck. One of the many reasons I played a lot more Tekken 5 than Tekken 6.

I ALWAYS wonder who came before Jinpachi...

Those overpowred FIREBALLS😑😑😑

Story dlc confirmed

BRING HIM BACK PUT HIM IN COACH I NEED IT

True or False: Jinpachi was possessed by the devil gene

Hehachi being a pedo is krazy😮😂

I hope he is in tekken 8 dlc

Jinpachi Tekken's whitebeard.

I hope they bring him back this game! I used to put in some real pain with jinpachi on TTT2! Hoping for heihachi to come back too! Now that it seems he does have a devil gene since reina does maybe he went to hell kicked the devils a** and took power from him and comes back with a new form! Idk tho cause I haven’t played reina or saw her ending

What’s with Mishimas and crazy haircuts?

Everything wrong going on started because Hehaichi was a ridiculously selfish, Grade A Narcissistic, psychopathic villain

Panda?

444th like 🎉

I know i know 6 min tho

Your time is over old man

Lol why does everyone around Heihachi have the devil gene but him? I am ready for Devil Heihachi in Tekken 9 lol

Jinpachi is the only Good Mishima

Imagine how better Kazuya’s life would’ve been if Jinpachi defeated Heihachi
