What is the demonic gene in Tekken?
The Demon Gene in Tekken is a unique genetic trait that sets the stage for a special relationship between an individual and a malevolent entity known as a “demon.” The gene functions as a catalyst, allowing for a symbiotic or host-like connection with the evil spirit. Throughout the Tekken series, characters carrying the demonic gene undergo transformative events, displaying extraordinary powers and physical changes that blur the lines between human and supernatural entities. The nature of this gene brings a layer of complexity to the narrative as the characters grapple with the consequences and struggles associated with their inherited connection to evil forces.

This genetic phenomenon often manifests itself during periods of intense stress or near-death experiences, triggering a transformation that gives individuals great abilities but also the risk of losing control of their actions. The ongoing mystery surrounding the demonic gene adds depth to Tekken’s storyline, leaving plenty of room for exploration and intrigue for the future of the game series.
What types of demons are there in Tekken?
Azazel, the first devil
- Introduction to “Tekken 6”: Azazel is the main boss in “Tekken 6”. He is identified as an ancient demon and is regarded as the origin of demon genes.
- Demonic Bloodline: Azazel is associated with the spread of demonic power, creating multiple demonic bloodlines in ancient times. These bloodlines, linked to the demon’s genes, are given to his followers, enhancing their power.

The characters of the Hachijo clan and Kazumi
- Introduction to the Hachijo Clan: The Hachijo clan is deeply influenced by the demonic gene and plays an important role in the storyline of “Tekken”, especially Hachijo Kazumi.
- Kazumi’s Mission: Kazumi, a member of the Hachijo family, adopts the identity of Mishima Kazumi and is tasked with eliminating Mishima Heihachi, considering him a potential world threat. This mission is driven by the Hachijo family’s awareness of their demonic heritage.
Kazuya and the influence of devil genes
- Kazuya’s Troubled Past: Mishima Kazuya, the son of Heihachi and Kazumi, experienced a turbulent childhood that was characterized by his mother being assassinated and being thrown off a cliff by his father.
- Personality and Demonic Form: Kazuya’s demonic form is heavily influenced by his core personality, which is characterized by revenge and a thirst for power. Unlike characters like Jin, whose demonic form pursues good, Kazuya’s demonic form is driven by malevolent goals, including world domination.
Kim and Kazamas
- Jin Kazama’s Origin: Jin was born from Kazuya’s relationship with Jun Kazama of the Kazama family, and inherited the demon gene, but discovered it later in life.
- The Fight Against the Demonic Gene: Kim’s initial reaction to the Demonic Gene was to reject it, viewing it as a curse. Demon Jin is an independent character within Jin who appears to protect him in critical situations.
- Control and Reconciliation: Jin eventually learns to control the demon gene and understand the true intentions of the demon Jin. The two reconcile and become stronger together.

Honorable Mention: Mishima Jinpachi
- Deceptive Appearance: Despite Mishima Jinpachi’s demonic appearance, he has nothing to do with demonic genes. He is Kazuya’s grandfather.
- Possession in “Tekken 5”: In “Tekken 5”, Jinpachi is possessed by the spirit of vengeance, which has nothing to do with the demon gene. Heihachi’s father’s possession of a demonic form was purely coincidental and was different from the influence of demonic genes.

Tekken 8 gameplay
Tekken 8 is a fighting game similar to the earlier Tekken games. Katsuhiro Harada, the game’s production lead, said that Tekken 8 will be more aggressive than its predecessor. This means the game rewards players who attack more often rather than just defending.

They added a new thing called “heat”. When a character is in “heat” mode, they deal more damage, gain additional moves, and change the way some attacks work. In this mode they can even cancel moves. “Heat” mode has a timer that stops when the character uses certain moves. If you defend against a powerful attack or character in Heat mode, you’ll still take some damage, but you can regain health by attacking.
Tekken 8 has some changes and improvements. The “Rage” system from the last game is back, but they’ve changed one of the moves into a new super move called “Heat Crush.” They also replaced the “screw” move with a “tornado” move, which can knock opponents to the ground quickly. Certain stages in the game have special things like walls and floors that break when hit hard enough. There are also hazards, such as explosive walls and floors that send characters flying when hit.
