   Tekken 1 Story: A worldwide martial arts tournament sponsored by a giant financial group, the Mishima Zaibatsu, is nearing its finale. A large purse of prize money and the King of the Iron Fist title are the rewards - but a competitor must defeat the Zaibatsu's ruthless leader, Heihachi Mishima, to win. Only one will have the chance to defeat Heihachi and take home the prize money and fame - however, some competitors have motivations beyond wealth and notoriety...One such competitor is Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima's son. When Kazuya was a child, Heihachi threw him off a cliff, ostensibly to find out whether he was resilient enough to inherit the Mishima Zaibatsu; Heihachi's reasoning was that, if Kazuya were truly strong enough, he would be able to survive the fall and climb back up.[2] Kazuya barely survived the fall, which left him with the prominent scar on his chest. Fueled by hatred for his father, he enters the tournament to exact his revenge. Kazuya reaches the final battle and defeats his father in combat. Taking his father to the very same cliff he was tossed off of in his childhood, Kazuya exacts revenge by dropping Heihachi over the cliff edge.

   Fifteen years after the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Jun Kazama is living a quiet life in Yakushima with her son, Jin Kazama. Jin’s father is Kazuya Mishima, the former owner of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Kazuya is presumed dead after being defeated in the final round of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 by his father, Heihachi Mishima, and thrown into a volcano. Having reclaimed the Mishima Zaibatsu, Heihachi Mishima has established the Tekken Force, a private corporate army. One day, Heihachi learns that a Tekken Force squad conducting an excavation in Central America have been annihilated by a mysterious being. He suspects that the mysterious being is Ogre, a legendary ‘god of fighting’. Heihachi believes that capturing Ogre will give him the power to rule the world. Following Ogre’s awakening, martial arts masters from across the world start disappearing. In Yakushima, Jun senses the impending danger and begins to prepare Jin for the outcome, instructing Jin to find Heihachi Mishima if anything happens to her. Jun’s intuition proves right, and she and Jin are attacked one night by Ogre. During the attack, Jin is knocked unconscious. When he wakes up, his surroundings have been burned to the ground and his mother is nowhere to be seen. Unbeknownst to Jin, a part of Kazuya's Devil, which sought to possess Jin in his mother's womb, returns and is able to possess him now that he no longer has Jun's protection. Devil brands Jin's upper left arm in the process. Driven by revenge and guided by his mother’s wishes, Jin seeks out Heihachi and reveals that he is Kazuya’s son. He tells his grandfather about Ogre’s attack and asks that he be taught the means of defeating Ogre. Plotting to use Jin as a decoy to draw out Ogre, Heihachi begins training his grandson in Mishima Style Fighting Karate. As Jin’s training progresses, Heihachi begins to suspect that his grandson possesses the same dangerous power as his father. Four years later, Heihachi announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, believing that a clash of strong fighters will draw Ogre out. Jin, who has grown into an impressive fighter, enters with the intention of killing Ogre and avenging the loss of his mother.[4] He progresses through the tournament and reaches the final round, where he confronts Ogre’s true form. Something inside Jin snaps, and he emerges as the victorious one upon killing Ogre. Moments later, Jin is gunned down by a squadron of Tekken Force led by Heihachi. Having intended on disposing of Jin from the start, Heihachi fires a final gunshot into his grandson's head. The attempt to kill Jin fails; revived by the Devil Gene within him, he reawakens and makes quick work of the soldiers. He turns his attention to Heihachi and slams him through the wall of the temple. Heihachi survives the fall, but Jin, in mid-air, sprouts black, feathery wings and strikes Heihachi one last time. He then flies off into the night, leaving his grandfather staring after him.

   After The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Heihachi failed to apprehend Ogre. Determined not to fail, Heihachi had his researchers gather Ogre’s skin tissue, hoof fragments, and blood samples for genetic experiments. Unfortunately, Heihachi’s goal of creating a new life form by splicing Ogre’s genome with his own was unsuccessful. Heihachi learned, after extensive experimentation, that the Devil Gene was needed to successfully splice Ogre’s genetic code into another living organism. Unfortunately, Heihaci’s own genome lacked the Devil Gene. However, there was someone who had the gene, Jin Kazama. Jin was shot and mortally wounded by Heihachi after defeating Ogre in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. As his life slipped away, Jin transformed into a devil and mysteriously vanished. Although his quest to find Jin became futile, Heihachi did discover a 20-year-old photograph that stirred his curiosity. The photograph had an image of a burnt corpse riddled with laceration wounds and deformed, protruding, wing-like limbs. Heihachi was convinced it was a picture of his son, Kazuya, whom he hurled into the volcano 20 years ago. With all of his resources redirected into finding the body, the search ultimately led to a biotech firm called G Corporation, a company known for making unparalleled developments in the area of biogenetics research. G Corporation found Kazuya’s body and began conducting research on his genetic data to examine the true nature of the devil that existed within him. Heihachi also found out that Kazuya’s remains and research data were stored at G Corporation’s Nebraska and Nepal research facilities, respectively. Unbeknownst to Heihachi, Kazuya was resurrected by G Corporation and had an agenda of his own. Kazuya’s aspiration was to fuse his two selves into one so that he could truly utilize the power of the Devil Gene and seek vengeance against Heihachi and the Mishima Zaibatsu. On a chilly Christmas night, Heihachi decided to send his Tekken Force to infiltrate the research labs in hopes of recovering both the research data and Kazuya’s remains. The assault on the Nepal lab went smoothly, whereas the infiltration of the Nebraska facility did not go according to plan. From the helicopter, Heihachi noticed on the tactical status monitor screen that his troops met some sort of resistance. As the figure responsible for this emerged from the shadows, Heihachi was shocked to find out that it was his own son, Kazuya. With Heihachi ruining his plans of unification, Kazuya disappeared into the facility’s ruins after taking his anger out on Heihachi’s pitiful soldiers. With Kazuya back in the picture, Dr. Abel, Heihachi’s lead scientific advisor, compelled him to figure out a way to capture Kazuya immediately. With a malicious smile, Heihachi devised a way to accomplish this. Two years have now passed since The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. The Mishima Zaibatsu has announced The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, with the grand prize being the sole ownership of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Kazuya enters the tournament knowing that it’s merely a trap to draw him out of hiding. To Kazuya, the prize means less than his pursuit of revenge against his father, Heihachi. After defeating many opponents, Kazuya arrives at Stage 7 for a match against his son, Jin Kazama. Having trained in traditional karate during the two years between the tournaments, Jin entered the The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 to destroy the Zaibatsu and put an end to the cursed Mishima bloodline; however, he is captured by Tekken Force on the way to his match with Kazuya and taken to Hon-Maru. Faced with no opponent, Kazuya is reported as the default winner of their match. Sensing Heihachi's interference in Jin's disappearance, Kazuya proceeds to the final stage. There, Kazuya meets Heihachi and he asks what he has done to Jin. Heihachi says that he will tell him after their fight. Kazuya defeats Heihachi and is taken by him to Hon-Maru. Jin is suspended between two pillars by chains wound around his forearms. As Kazuya sees his son for the first time, Devil suddenly takes over. "So, you were with him after all, my half..." Heihachi realizes Kazuya is not himself, and asks, "Who are you?!" with Devil replying, "I am what you refer to as 'Devil.' Twenty years ago, I lost a part of myself when you nearly killed me. Now, I'll retrieve what's rightfully mine from him! The time has come for my resurrection!". Devil goes on: "You saved me the trouble of having to search for him. For your troubles, I'll give you a taste of my power!" He uses a telekinetic ability to knock Heihachi out of the room, and tries to draw Jin's devil out of him to reclaim it. Devil is unable to trigger Jin's full devil transformation, and speculates whether it is because of Jin's 'Kazama blood'. With some effort, Kazuya wrests back control of himself and, implying that he has successfully 'fused his two selves', says, "I see... Didn't know about this method of unifying our power." He calls for Jin to rise. Jin stirs, and frees himself from the chains. He seethes, "You! If only you were dead... Once I kill you, it'll all be over!" Jin and Kazuya fight, with Jin emerging as the victor. Heihachi reemerges and mocks Kazuya's prone form: "What a pathetic wretch... You worthless coward." He challenges Jin with the intention of killing him and taking his Devil Gene for himself. However, Heihachi is also defeated by Jin. Jin holds Heihachi up by his gi, and the wings of Jin's Devil form emerge as he prepares to deliver the killing blow. However, before the strike can make contact, a bright light distracts Jin, and he turns to see a brief vision of his mother, Jun Kazama. Struck with emotion and clarity of mind, he lets Heihachi go. "Thank my mother... Jun Kazama," he tells Heihachi, before walking away and taking flight through Hon Maru's roof. Several feathers drift to the floor, one of which is white rather than black

   The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 concluded with a face-off between three generations of the Mishima family – Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima, and Jin Kazama – in Hon-Maru. Jin ultimately defeated his grandfather and father and fled the temple in his devil form. Shortly afterwards, just as Heihachi and Kazuya are coming to, numerous Jack-4 robots deployed by G Corporation crash through Hon-Maru's walls and attack. Kazuya and Heihachi begin fighting as a team against the robots. During the battle, Kazuya escapes after betraying Heihachi and throwing him into the path of the robots. While Heihachi is restrained, the robots self-destruct, destroying Hon-Maru. A mysterious character, Raven, watches the scene from a nearby cliff. Speaking into an earpiece, he reports, "Heihachi Mishima is dead." Meanwhile, Jin Kazama's Devil Gene causes him to lose control. He blacks out shortly after fleeing Hon-Maru and wakes up in a destroyed forest. He realizes that his devil form caused the destruction. Jin retreats to Yakushima, but is plagued by nightmares that trigger his Devil Gene. Realizing he cannot go on like this, he sets out to try and destroy the evil at its root. The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 is announced by the Mishima Zaibatsu. With Heihachi Mishima believed dead, it is unclear to the competitors who has called the competition. Jin enters the tournament and makes it to the final round, where he is confronted with the monstrous form of his great grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima. Jinpachi was imprisoned beneath Hon-Maru 44 years ago by Heihachi and has been possessed by a malevolent entity. Jinpachi was finally freed from his prison when the Jack-4s destroyed Hon-Maru. Now, the mysterious entity is consuming Jinpachi's mind. Jinpachi announced the tournament with the hope that someone would emerge with the power to kill him and put an end to the entity’s reign of terror before it starts. The entity is implied to have affected Jin’s Devil Gene, triggering the evil that had built up inside him. Jin defeats Jinpachi Mishima, who dissolves into dust and disappears. Now, Jin is the owner of the Mishima Zaibutsu. He assumes the throne and smiles in a sinister way, hinting at events to follow.

   Following his victory in the previous tournament, Jin Kazama has taken charge of the Mishima Zaibatsu and now appears to possess tyrannical ambitions. Using the organisation’s resources, he severs the Mishima Zaibatsu's national ties, declare independence, and openly wages war against all nations. These actions send the world into a chaotic spiral, with huge-scale wars erupting around the globe and even amidst the space colonies orbiting the planet. Jin’s father, Kazuya Mishima, is aware of this and finds Jin's interference in his own plans for global domination to be a nuisance. Now in charge of G Corporation, having usurped and taken over the company following its previous leaders' failed attempt to have him killed, Kazuya is seen as the only force who could oppose Jin. He places a bounty on Jin's head for anyone who can capture him. Jin's response is to announce The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 in order to battle Kazuya and crush G Corporation. Meanwhile, among the ranks of the Tekken Force, a soldier named Lars Alexandersson has begun a rebellion. He leads a faction of Tekken Force in a coup against the Mishima Zaibatsu and establishes the rebel army Yggdrasil with the intention of putting an end to the Zaibatsu’s wars. During a raid of a Mishima Zaibatsy laboratory, Lars comes across an android resembling a young woman. The android identifies herself as Alisa Bosconovitch. A battlion of G Corporation’s Jack robots arrive and attack. One of them detonates, causes an explosion that kills everyone present except for Lars, who is afflicted with amnesia as a result of the blast, and Alisa. Lars escapes the crumbing facility with Alisa and the two begin a journey to discover their origins. Jin, along with his top subordinates, Nina Williams and Eddy Gordo, are made aware of Lars' intentions and issue a manhunt for him. During his journey, Lars reunites with his lieutenant, Tougou, though Lars does not entirely remember him. Tougou tells Lars to look for Heihachi Mishima, as Lars had previously mentioned ‘needing to meet with him’. Additionally, Tougou provides Lars with the means to contact him when he is ready to resume command of his forces. Elsewhere, Jin and Nina travel to a large temple in a desert location. There, they meet a woman called Zafina. She tells Jin that the ‘magic binding this place’ was broken six months earlier. Jin surprises her by suggesting that an entity linked to the temple has already begun to stir. Zafina asks Jin how he can possibly know that, but he refuses to answer. Before leaving, he tells her that events are already in motion, and nobody has the power to stop what is coming except him. Eventually, Lars and Alisa get a lead on Heihachi Mishima. After fighting through the Secret Service guarding Heihachi’s resisdence, Lars is able to engage Heihachi in a fight. Lars defeats Heihachi, and his memory returns to him, leading him to recall that he is Heihachi’s illegitimate son. He aims a gun at Heihachi and, after a fraught discussion, pulls the trigger. Heihachi catches the bullet with his teeth. Before Lars can do anything else, he receives a call from Tougou regarding an operation. Lars relents and decides to leave. Later, Lars comes into contact with Lee Chaolan, who has intel regarding both the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation. Lee offers to join forces with Lars, but Lars declines. Before they part ways, Lee receives a call from Julia Chang, who has been spying on G Corporation for him. On the call, he hears her being apprehended by G Corporation. Lee asks Lars and Alisa to rescue Julia Chang, which they do. Lars arranges to regroup with Tougou and assume his leadership position in the rebel army. They meet at the boundary of a significant Mishima Zaibatsu base and begin their infiltration. Lars and Alisa confront and defeat Eddy Gordo. They progress to attacking G Corporation’s main headquarters, Millenium Tower. At the main entrance to the building, they are confronted by Anna Williams and a squad of G Corporation soldiers. Tougou and his men arrive to provide back-up, though Tougou is visibly wounded. With the soldiers engaged by the rebel army, Lars and Alisa are able to pursue and defeat Anna Williams. Kazuya emerges, but Lars and Alisa fail to apprehend him. Lars and Alisa leave the tower. At the entrance, several members of Lars’ rebel army have been killed, and Tougou is mortally wounded. He dies shortly after Lars reaches him. Lars is devastated by the loss. Unbeknownst to Lars and Alisa, they are being watched covertly by Raven. Lars and Alisa hijack a Zaibatsu subway train to get to the Mishima Zaibatsu's Central Tower. They are ambushed along the way by Nina and a squadron of Tekken Force. Despite the odds, Lars defeats the soldiers and kicks Nina off the train. Nina later reappears, having survived the fall, but is again defeated by Lars. Lars and Alisa reach the tower and are confronted by the robotic weapon NANCY-MI847J. Raven suddenly appears and holds NANCY-MI847J off. He does not introduce himself, instead urging Lars and Alisa to go and confront Jin. Nina appears to stop try and stop them once again, but she fails. Jin appears, and he and Lars fight, though neither one of them defeats the other. Nina approaches and says something to Jin. As he makes to leave, he instructs Alisa to ‘disable Safe Mode and then reboot’. Alisa becomes hostile towards Lars and appears to have no memories of their time together. Jin reveals that Alisa was built to serve him and that he has been using her to monitor Lars's actions this whole time. Jin clarifies that, although it has been advantageous to him, he had not originally planned to use Alisa as a spy in this way, as he could not have known that Lars would lose his memory. Jin gives the order for Alisa to kill Lars and then leaves with Nina. Lars is forced to fight Alisa and manages to defeat her. She flees the tower. Raven reappears, and tells Lars he knows where Jin is heading next. Lars agrees to go with him. Lars and Raven locate an abandoned temple in the middle of the desert, said to be the home of the demon known as Azazel, or the Rectifier. Inside the temple, Lars and Raven find and confront Kazuya once again. At close of their fight, Kazuya learns that Lars is his half-brother, and leaves the temple shortly after. Progressing to the heart of the temple, Lars and Raven locate Azazel. Lars fights him, and appears to succeed in exhausting Azazel. Azazel tells Lars that it is time for him to to make them atone humanity atone for their collective sins – however, he then appears to self-destruct in a sustained burst of blinding light. Lars and Raven flee the temple as it collapses. Once outside, they are confronted by Jin once again. Lars goes to strike him, but pulls his punch in the last moment when Alisa descends to defend Jin. Lars and Raven are forced to fight Alisa. Upon being defeated, she reverts to her old self. Before shutting down, she expresses that it was nice to be treated like a ‘real person’ by Lars. Jin mocks Lars’ emotional response to Alisa and derides her as ‘a worthless piece of junk’. Furious, Lars engages Jin in another fight. Lars wins the fight, and Jin finally reveals his true motivations. He discloses that Azazel, awoken by the conflict between Jin and his father, has been communicating with him telepathically. Azazel told Jin that he would only achieve physical form if the world was ‘filled with negative energy’. Jin also implies that the world was beyond salvation in the state it was in even before the wars began. He believes that destroying Azazel in an act of mutually assured destruction will ultimately save the world. Lars tells Jin that he has already destroyed Azazel – however, Azazel bursts from the ground moments later in a golden form. Jin tells Lars that Azazel can only be destroyed by someone who carries the Devil Gene. Jin approaches Azazel, who warns Jin that he will be destroyed as well if he attacks. Undeterred, Jin calls upon the influence of his Devil Gene and rushes Azazel, striking through the demon’s chest with a single punch. They both fall through the ground into the depths of the temple. Lars sees a shaft of light burst out from where they fell. After several seconds, the light fades out. Nina appears and tells Lars she was aware of Jin’s plans. She says it is not her place to judge whether Jin was right or wrong to pursue this end the way he did, then leaves the scene by helicopter. Later, Lars and Raven are driving through the desert, discussing what will happen next. Raven speculates as to whether Jin really wanted things to end the way they did. They take Alisa to Violet Systems, where Lee promises to fix her up. After a brief parting talk with Raven, Lars receives a call and tells the person on the other end of the phone that he’ll ‘be right there’. A post-credits scene shows that Raven and his colleagues at the UN have found Jin's half-buried body in the desert. Jin's mark is still visible on his left arm, indicating that Azazel's demise has not freed Jin from the Devil Gene.

   After the events of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6, Jin Kazama has disappeared, and the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation continues. Meanwhile, an investigative journalist, who lost his wife and son during the war that Jin started, begins to narrate the story of the Mishimas. The rest of the game is also narrated from his perspective. It is 40 years ago, prior to the first King of Iron Fist Tournament and a five-year-old Kazuya Mishima is fighting his father, Heihachi Mishima. Kazuya is violently kicked away by Heihachi, and, as Kazuya gets back up, he is enraged and screams that Heihachi killed his mother. Heihachi beats Kazuya and throws him off a cliff. In the present day, Heihachi returns to the Mishima Zaibatsu building and regains control of the Mishima Zaibatsu after beating numerous Tekken Force soldiers and their commander, Nina Williams. He announces the next King of Iron Fist Tournament. Heihachi and Nina strike a deal with Claudio Serafino, who is the leader of the Archers of Sirius, a secret society of exorcists with extensive resources. Heihachi intends to expose Kazuya, now the current CEO of G Corporation, as a devil, since Kazuya possesses the Devil Gene. He hopes to thus to turn public opinion against G-Corporation. Claudio objects to helping the Zaibatsu, but Heihachi forces him to agree after he beats him. Elsewhere, the journalist searches for information and finds something out about the Mishimas' history. He puts together the fact that Heihachi's father, Jinpachi Mishima, who was imprisoned beneath Hon-Maru, and the death of Heihachi's wife, Kazumi Mishima née Hachijo, happened the same year that Heihachi threw young Kazuya off a cliff. Later, a United Nations helicopter is shown having captured Jin. Jin turns into his devil form however, and attacks, escaping his captors. Jin wanders into a town in the desert, but before he can be recaptured by the UN, Lars Alexandersson arrives. Lars takes out the UN soldiers and flees with Jin. He takes Jin to Violet Systems where Jin recuperates after the attack. Lee Chaolan, the CEO of Violet Systems, is fixing Alisa Bosconovitch, an android who was seemingly destroyed previously. The journalist, having met with Lars and Lee during his findings, approaches and intends to kill Jin in his sleep. Lars discourages him, telling him that he wants to kill Jin too, but that Jin is the only one that has a chance of stopping the conflict between Kazuya and Heihachi. Heihachi is meditating at the Mishima Dojo when suddenly the doors burst open to reveal Akuma. Heihachi and Akuma fight, only for Jack-6 robots to break in. Heihachi and Akuma work together to defeat the robots, and Heihachi then asks who the demon is. Akuma tells him his name and that he was sent by Kazumi before her death to kill Heihachi and Kazuya. Kazuya, unbeknownst to the pair, is listening in to this through one of the Jack-6 robots - he laughs at the idea that his mother would want him dead. Heihachi and Akuma face off again, with Akuma seemingly killing Heihachi. In reality, Heihachi later escapes, though uses the opportunity to declare himself dead to the public. Tekken Force invades the Violet Systems facility where Jin is being held. At their head is Nina, who is attempting to capture Jin on Heihachi's orders. She is confronted by the now repaired Alisa. Tekken Force manage to get hold of Jin, but as Nina contacts her people in the helicopter, Lee's voice can be heard over the radio. Tekken Force soldiers fall from the helicopter and Lee flies off with Jin. Lars, Alisa, and Lars's rebel soldiers fend off Tekken Force long enough to evacuate, and Lee then detonates the building with Nina and Tekken Force still inside. Nina is shown alive after the blast, but defeated. Akuma comes to G-Corporation in order to kill Kazuya. G Corporation soldiers have their guns trained on him, but Kazuya tells them to stand down and instead lead Akuma to the roof. Kazuya asks Akuma how he knows his mother. Akuma replies that he owes a debt to Kazumi because she saved his life. They fight and Kazuya turns into his devil form. Heihachi manages to capture footage of Kazuya turning into a devil, and broadcasts it live to the world. As Akuma and Kazuya fight, Heihachi orders the building to be targeted by the Mishima Zaibatsu's Orbital Laser Satellite. He destroys the building and believes he has killed both Akuma and Kazuya. News spreads about the footage of G-Corp's CEO, Kazuya, being a demon. Lars, Lee, and the journalist watch the news report, and the journalist mentions that he thought his town was destroyed by human beings, but now believes they are dealing with something far more supernatural and evil. Kazuya, meanwhile, has survived Heihachi's attack, and retaliates by shooting down the Zaibatsu's satellite with his own devil laser. The satellite crashes down to earth, and rumours begin to circulate that the Mishima Zaibatsu lost control of its own satellite, causing untold devastation and once more turning public opinion against them. The journalist decides to try and tell the Mishima Zaibatsu about the expose he's doing on them but, much to his surprise, he hears that Heihachi wants to meet up with him in person. Heihachi tells the journalist about his history. He describes how he and Kazumi first met in his father's dojo. They became rivals and later lovers, with Kazumi's adoring their young son, Kazuya. One day, Kazumi contracted a fever and became violet. She recovered after Heihachi nursed her back to health, but other bouts of this illness fell on her. One day, Kazumi confronted Heihachi when he was training and told him one day he would inflict war and chaos upon the world. She attacked him, and during the fight became a devil. Heihachi beat her and walked away, but Kazumi got up to attack him again. Heihachi grabbed her by the throat and crushed her larynx, killing her. Heihachi then tells the journalist that he suspected Kazuya may have the same demonic power. He says that he threw Kazuya off a cliff because he wanted to see if he would survive. If Kazuya survived, it meant he also had supernatural power like Kazumi. Heihachi then says that the destruction his family have caused is his fault, and that he regrets not killing Kazuya when he had the chance. The journalist asks what this war means to Heihachi, only for Heihachi to walk off whilst the journalist is knocked out by the Tekken Force soldiers. When he wakes up, the journalist sees Lars, who tells him Heihachi told him where to find him. They arrive at Violet Systems a few hours later, to see a video display being aired by one of Lee's spy satellites. It shows a volcano, where Kazuya and Heihachi stand, ready to fight each other. Kazuya and Heihachi stand in the volcano and the fight begins. Initially, Heihachi has the upper hand and is beating Kazuya. This forces Kazuya to turn into his devil form, though it is much more powerful a form than he has ever previously taken, with multiple eyes on his chest and wings, all capable of shooting lasers. They continue to fight, until Heihachi beats Kazuya enough that he forces him back into his human form. They stand exhausted, facing each other. They begin punching each other but do not have the energy to avoid each other's hits. Kazuya punches Heihachi in the chest and Heihachi then headbutts Kazuya, forcing him to the ground. As Kazuya can barely stand, he has a flashback of everything that happened to him, remembering his father killing his mother and then throwing him off a cliff. As he looks up at Heihachi he sees him briefly with black hair, remembering how he looked as he beat him as a child. Kazuya is enraged and hits Heihachi with punch so strong that it stops Heihachi's heart. Heihachi falls to the ground, defeated. Kazuya throws his unconscious body into volcanic lava. He echoes his father's mantra from the start of the game: "A fight is about who is left standing. Nothing else". As he watches Heihachi fall though, Kazuya notices Akuma is still alive. He dodges Akuma's Gohadoken and morphs into his devil form to fight him. The volcano begins to erupt as Kazuya's Devil Blaster and Akuma's Messatsu Gohado clash, the final outcome of the fight is unknown. A short while later, Lars, Alisa, and Lee are seen on a rooftop. They are looking at the city in ruins. Despite Heihachi's death and the Mishima Zaibatsu's downfall, G Corporation does not seem to be stopping the war. Jin joins them on the roof and Lars informs him that he wants him to stop the war he started. He tells Jin he is their final hope to eliminate Kazuya, and that he must do this to atone for what he has done to the world. Jin complies and states that, due to the same devil's blood running through his veins as his father's, it is up to him to save the world, kill Kazuya, and end this war once and for all.

Unbeknownst to the world at large, he was saved from his fall into lava at Kazuya's hands by Tekken High Priest Seiryu. Now, having lost his memories, he works towards completing the Star Crusher Trial, which will allow him to unlock the Mishima-style Ultimate Technique and restore the Tekken Monks to glory. Though his demeanor has become calmer and more agreeable in the absence of his memories, he occasionally hears a voice in his head that encourages brutal actions more consistent with his forgotten self. This disrupts his efforts to find the equilibrium in mind, body and spirit he will need to complete the trial. Meanwhile, Yggdrasil, Lars Alexandersson’s rebel army, commence Operation Lightning, a strike intended to take out Kazuya Mishima, the leader of G Corporation. On Lars’s orders, Jin Kazama confronts his father Kazuya in New York City. Both use the power of their Devil Genes during the fight, but Jin fails to maintain control over his devil form, transforming completely and ultimately losing to Kazuya. Kazuya destroys a wide array of satellites, causing widespread communications outages, and announces that G Corporation will be holding the eighth King of Iron Fist Tournament, stating that it is a means to discover who deserves a place in the world under his rule. Jin has a vision of his Devil form extending a hand to him, but he rejects its offer of assistance. One week later, Jin is recuperating at an Yggdrasil base. He and Lars spar, only for Lee Chaolan to interrupt and share the troubling news that Jin’s strength and abilities have diminished. Jin attempts to use his devil powers, but is unable to access them.

Lars is concerned that it is a trap set by G Corporation, but Jin resolves to enter. Three days later, Jin is at the arena for the tournament’s Asia Preliminaries. While he is walking down a corridor, he encounters a young woman called Reina, who tells him she attends Mishima Polytech, the same school Jin used to go to. Jin ignores her and walks past her. Jin and Reina are matched in the semifinals. As they fight, Jin realizes she is using Mishima Style Fighting Karate like his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima. After Reina lands a blow on him, Jin’s devil powers briefly reawaken, seemingly in response to the risk of death he associates with Heihachi’s style. Reina suddenly forfeits the match, apparently having seen all she needs to. Hwoarang enters the ring despite not being scheduled to fight Jin next. The two fight, and Jin feels a heat within his body that he had previously forgotten. His devil powers awaken in response to it, and he is able to defeat Hwoarang. Jin wonders why he didn’t lose himself to his devil powers in this instance. Hwoarang remarks on Jin’s ‘weird-ass power’, but then says, ‘still, that’s just another part of you.’ Jin meets Reina in another corridor. She tells him that she wants to join him in taking out Kazuya Mishima. Jin asks if that has anything to do with her use of Mishima Style Karate. Reina brushes off his suspicions, telling him she learned it from the internet. Nina Williams, who is working for G Corporation, tells Kazuya that a woman he was looking for is with the Sirius Marksmen. Kazuya tells Nina to ensure that the woman does not leave Italy. At the Sirius Sanctuary, Ling Xiaoyu and Panda watch Jin’s win against Hwoarang on Xiaoyu’s phone. Claudio Serafino and Zafina, meanwhile, discuss Azazel, the ancient demon that Jin Kazama once defeated, the spirit of which is now sealed in Zafina’s arm. Zafina notes that Jin is growing weaker while Kazuya grows ever stronger. Zafina tells Claudio they must seek out Jin to prevent Kazuya from annihilating the world, and Xiaoyu insists on going with them. Niklas and Leo Kliesen arrive at the Yggdrasil base. Niklas has been researching the Devil Gene and its origins. Leo recognizes Jin as the one who waged war as head of the Mishima Zaibatsu months before and spars with him. Later, Niklas explains to Yggdrasil’s leadership that devils are humans that possess a fraction of Azazel’s power. Azazel once used these devils as its servants. These devils were able to access their superhuman powers by drawing upon their desire. Lars hypothesizes that Kazuya’s power comes from his avarice. Leo tells Jin that they did not sense any selfish emotions in Jin whilst they were sparring, only warmth. Victor Chevalier, leader of the United Nations Raven Unit, receives a communication from Raven regarding Kazuya Mishima’s warmongering intentions. Victor resolves to contact Lars and unite the power of their forces to conduct a joint operation against Kazuya. At Genmaji Temple, the Tekken Monks bring Lidia Sobieska, a woman they deem to be a 'peerless warrior', into the fold to assist with Heihachi's training. Despite this, Heihachi's mind continues to falter. Determined to realise their vow to master the Mishima-style Ultimate Technique, Tekken High Priest Suzaku performs a forbidden ceremony in an attempt to expunge the evil from Heihachi. Heihachi appears to defeat his baser self and it is decided that the Star Crusher Trial will go ahead. The next stage of the King of Iron Fist Tournament is held in a coliseum in Italy. Yggdrasil and United Nations forces surround the coliseum, preparing to commence their operation. Meanwhile, Jin faces Leroy Smith, who impresses on him the importance of fighting from the heart, not relying on physical strength alone. Jin defeats Leroy, and then Kazuya appears, declaring that all hierarchies in his world will be determined by strength alone. Xiaoyu, Claudio, and Zafina arrive at the coliseum. They rush in as Yggdrasil and the United Nations forces storm the arena. Kazuya assumes his devil form and captures Zafina. He uses his power to expel Azazel from her, causing the sky to turn dark. Wounded, Zafina tells Jin that he needs to return to the ‘point of origin’ to purge himself of evil. Jin realizes he must go to his birthplace, Yakushima. Azazel, having once again achieved physical form, is called forth by Kazuya. Azazel tells Kazuya it intends to make him a part of itself, but Kazuya is able to defeat it and force it to become part of him. After absorbing Azazel, Kazuya takes on a more powerful monstrous form. Claudio tells Jin that any attempt to combat Kazuya in this form will fail at this time. He tells him to do as Zafina said. Jin leaves for Yakushima with Xiaoyu accompanying him. A cohort of fighters stay at the coliseum to hold Kazuya off. Claudio tells Victor that he has a ‘secret stratagem’, but that he will need time to enact it. The other fighters buy Claudio time by attacking Kazuya. Kazuya is able to easily brush them off until Reina approaches him. They fight one on one, and Kazuya recognizes that Reina is using Mishima Style Karate. Reina is resilient, but is ultimately defeated by Kazuya. Claudio is finally able to restrain Kazuya using his magic and fires the Spear of Kephalos at him. Kazuya breaks free, however, and evades the attack. He fires a laser at Claudio. Moments before being struck, Claudio is able to redirect the magical projectile to hit Kazuya, clipping his shoulder. The injury causes Kazuya to become unstable, and he flees to recuperate. Back at G Corporation headquarters, Nina informs Kazuya that all available troops have been deployed to Yakushima. Kazuya orders that Jin Kazama be left alive so that he can kill him with his own hands. Meanwhile, Yggdrasil and the United Nations forces travel to Yakushima to buy Jin time. Once they have arrived on Yakushima, Jin and Xiaoyu walk to the shrine where Jin and his mother once trained together. Xiaoyu asks Jin what he wanted to be when he grew up, and he tells her he never desired anything beyond protecting his mother and their home. They reach a clearing and Xiaoyu suggests they spar to see if it will help Jin discover what he needs to do. After they’ve fought, Jin hears a lullaby from his childhood. He follows the sound of it into the opening of a sanctum. His body falters, and he promises Xiaoyu he will return before falling unconscious. Xiaoyu watches over him, but is alerted to danger when she hears loud crashes outside. She fights off waves of Jack-7 robots to protect Jin while he is vulnerable. Yggdrasil and the United Nations forces clash with G Corporation on Yakushima. Lars has Alisa do a scan of the island, and Lars leaves to assist Jin and Xiaoyu when he is informed of their location. Yggdrasil and the United Nations are able to hold their own until Kazuya, once again in his monstrous devil form, reaches the battlefield. He uses lasers to inflict massive damage on the ground forces, shooting at the battlefield indiscriminately. Reina purposefully stands in the path of one of these lasers, taking the full force of it. Kazuya senses Jin’s location and heads straight for him. As Kazuya leaves, Reina wakes up, one of her eyes now bright red. Kazuya and Lars both reach Xiaoyu, who has managed to hold off the Jack-7 robots. Lars fights Kazuya to keep him from reaching Jin. Meanwhile, Jin faces his devil form on a plane of his subconscious. His devil form taunts him, telling him that power derived from anger and hatred is essential, and that Jin can atone for his past actions only through solitude. Jin rejects these ideas, stating that awareness of his past mistakes is what will allow him to move forward. Jin then encounters his Devil form as a mirror image of himself. Jin resolves that he is done rejecting his devil form as an innate part of himself, acknowledging that he can only move on if he accepts all he is and all he has done. Devil Jin asks him what it is he truly desires, and Jin states that he is determined to protect those who are precious to him. His devil form grants him all of its power, and Jin realizes that it has made efforts to protect him in the past. He thanks it, and apologizes for misunderstanding its intentions previously. Jin awakens in time to save Lars from the path of one of Kazuya’s lasers. Jin fights Kazuya in his own devil form, which now possesses one white wing, one black. Jin is able to hold his own against Kazuya, but eventually finds himself struggling to hold back a massive attack that Kazuya intends to destroy Yakushima with. As he attempts to hold the attack off, even if he must die doing so, he has a vision of his mother, Jun Kazama. She tells him that a noble death will cause pain to those around Jin. She reminds him that the Kazama way is to protect the well-being of those around him and his own life. Jin asks his mother if he has the right to desire life after all he has done. She tells him that a Kazama’s power is to foster life and cleanse evil. Jin assumes a new form, Angel Jin. Jun tells him he can use his power to save himself and his father. In his new form, Jin is able to redirect Kazuya’s attack to the ocean, saving Yakushima. Angel Jin and Devil Kazuya fight in the sky briefly before being lifted into the stratosphere by a large chunk off rock from under the sea as a result of Kazuya's attack, only to continue fighting there. Through this fight, both Jin and his father are purified of their devil afflictions. With their devil powers gone, they continue their fight once more as the ground they fought on returns to the Earth's surface. Jin is able to use all his teachings – from his mother’s Kazama Style Traditional Martial Arts to the Mishima Style Fighting Karate he once rejected – as well as his determination to protect those he cares about to defeat Kazuya. Jin leaves Kazuya unconscious as he goes to regroup with his loved ones. Jin believes the world to finally have been freed from the influence of devils and their powers. Meanwhile, Heihachi completes the Star Crusher Trial, successfully stopping the meteor and destroying it with a headbutt. However, his memories return, and he immediately reverts to the man he was before his time with the Tekken Monks. With the Mishima-style Ultimate Technique mastered, he goes on a rampage through the grounds of Genmaji Temple, taking down scores of Tekken Monks, Seiryu and Suzaku among them. He is confronted by Lidia, Yoshimitsu and Eddy, and soundly defeats the three of them. He intends to use his new power to put Kazuya back in his place. Later, Jun (who awoke in the Kazama Sanctum after Jin had his vision of her) finds Kazuya’s unconscious form where Jin left him on the battlefield. Later still, it is revealed that Reina understands Heihachi Mishima to be her father. Additionally, her brush with death in the path of Kazuya’s laser has given her the ability to take on a devil form.
