Who is the true villain of Tekken?

There isn't one single "true" villain, but rather a cycle of evil driven by the Mishima family's curse (the Devil Gene) and personal vendettas, with Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, and Jin Kazama acting as primary antagonists or anti-heroes at different points, often battling each other for control and power, while entities like Azazel represent a more cosmic threat behind the scenes.

DEVIL KAZUYA vs OGRE: Kazuya's Vengeance

Does Kazuya really hate Jin?

Kazuya doesn't exactly hate Jin in a personal sense; he views him more as a tool, a rival, and the container for the other half of his Devil Gene, which he wants back for ultimate power, seeing Jin as an obstacle to be eliminated or absorbed rather than a son to love or hate, though there are hints of complex feelings or slight respect for Jin's resilience in later games like Tekken 8, notes this Reddit post and this other Reddit post. Jin, conversely, despises Kazuya for abandoning him and his mother, Jun, and for embodying the evil he wants to destroy, creating a deep-seated hatred, say Quora users and Reddit users, which drives their conflict.
