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

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

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.

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..

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

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

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

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."

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

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

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

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

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
