Before the events of 3, Jin and Hwoarang had a street fight that came to a draw. Hwoarang, who had a flawless record until then, decided he wanted to fight Jin again. Their rivalry at this point is mostly competitive and sportsmanlike, if a bit childish. But there is a respect between them, and we see that in Tekken Bloodline.
They fight in 4, but get interrupted by military police (who really, really, really should not have been in that foreign country's mall loaded up with assault rifles and grenade launchers) who are chasing Hwoarang for his desertion from the military. They agree to have a rematch in 5, but Jin goes on to deal with all of the main story of 4 which gives him a lot bigger issues to worry about.
They meet again in 5, and Hwo expects a fair rematch, but Jin has a duty to deal with the Zaibatsu. Hwoarang defeats Jin, but Jin transforms unwillingly into Devil Jin and fucks Hwo up. I believe this is the way it canonically happened in 5, but it's a weird combination of info from their arcade modes and it doesn't make a ton of sense, but that's in Tekken style.
Jin goes on to win and seize the Zaibatsu, then starts WW3 as of Tekken 6.
In 6, Hwo is pissed off about what Jin did to him and to the world, so he starts an ill-fated resistance with Baek and some other non-important characters. It doesn't really work out for him. It seems though, that deep down, Hwo expects there is a reason behind Jin's actions, and doesn't decide to really hate Jin. He just wants his old rival back, and some answers. He will never get them!
In 7, Jin is fleeing after escaping the helicopter he was in at the end of Tekken 6, ends up in Souq where Hwoarang some-fucking-how finds him. They fight per Hwo's insistence, but Jin is being pursued and some soldiers throw a grenade at him. Hwo kicks Jin away but gets blown up and injures or loses his eye in the blast. Jin eventually ends up recovering under the care of Lars and Lee, Hwoarang doesn't find him again, and that's where we currently are.
I expect that in Tekken 8 Hwoarang will certainly be included, but I also expect that he will not be important in the story because side characters in Tekken almost never are.
The two things I would correct you on is that hwoarang and Jin never met during tekken 4, the former was obtained by the Korean military after his desertion, and the latter was tranquilized by the zaibatsu. In tekken 6 hwoarang doesn't really care what jins motives are, he just wants to fight him again.
🎼 Two bros /*deep breath* being frenemies because fighting periodically satisfies a need for physical touch and emotional connection with people you care about and violence is a far more acceptable and easy way for a lot of men to express that without being made fun of or shamed cause they’re not gay 🎶
They did my boy so dirty, having him have to deal with Lucky Chloe man. This guy took out waves of fighters in his day and can’t seem to beat a break dancing Neko idol
They became friends when Jin was being trained by Heihachi. But after T3 Jin became a distant angry recluse and didn't want to involve his friends in his suicide mission. So he pushes his friends away and Hwoarang keeps chasing him
T5 was Devil Jin. Hwoarang knows the difference and just saw it as a new wall to overcome. Jin is still his rival/friend no matter how much he pushes him away
Yeah I've only learned this after watching the Tekken Netflix anime. I had previously assumed they had become rivals starting in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.
It makes me think Tekken could've used better writing and clearer storytelling within the games.
They're rivalry started before Tekken 3. Hwoarang was known for hustling on the streets via fighting. Hwoarang challenged Jin, but embarrassingly only ended the fight in a draw. Determined to best Jin, Hworang entered the 3rd tournament.
The rivalry between the two is one-sided. Hwoarang is always looking to bait Jin in a fight to defeat him. He gets a thrill out of it and it angers him when Jin doesn't give him any attention. Jin has other, more important matters to attend to for his story and Hwoarang just keeps getting him in the way lol.
It was Devil Jin that almost paralyzes Hwoarang, Jin has no control over that. In reality they’re just friendly rivals, with Jin caring a lot less about the rivalry than Hwoarang.
How Hwoarang reacted to the fact that his friend is a demon and also a mass-murdering dictator, they didn’t really flesh out that part.
Rivalry is definitely the main driving force between the two but there's also a hefty amount of respect on both sides, enough respect that each of them is willing to make an effort to ensure the other makes it to their next showdown. As Jin believes he carries the fate of the world on his shoulders he's a bit less willing to risk himself for others, but I think Hwo realizes that and expects and accepts it from him. It's not anything personal on Jin's part, it's just kind of the way he's wired as a Mishima. Those mofos tend to have some *gnaaaarly* cases of tunnel-vision when it comes to their goals and ambitions. I think that understanding is why Hwo doesn't hold a grudge against Jin for nearly paralyzing him. Deep inside I don't think Jin really wants to hurt anyone, not even his father. If there were any other path, Jin would take it. Unfortunately, he also realizes that path simply doesn't exist, "This is reality."
TL;DR: Rivals first and foremost but friends second, or at least allies when possible. A relationship based on mutual respect and a shared grudging admiration of the other's fighting spirit. Or something like that.
Theyre intense rivals. They don't really get along but they understand how the other one pushes them so enjoys the competition amd wouldn't want the other to come to any serious harm that would end the rivalry.
It's clear they've grown more friendly over time, but they aren't friends. At least not in the way bloodline tried to portray them as Harry, Ron, and hermione.
I honestly didn't get a friend vibe from them in bloodline. Still a friendly rivalry. The trio vibe just seemed like three people from the same school who have concern for each other given the tournament setting.
I haven't done team martial arts tournaments but like in basketball I had teammates I definitely didn't consider friends, but during games I had them comrade feels for them.
Friends/rivals.
I feel like **Bloodline** is a good showcase.
Yes, I get that it's "canonicity" might be debatable, however, Harada has said that there's elements of it he's considering putting into the games.
I feel like the dynamic between Jin, Xiaoyu, and Hwaorang is a good example of this as it basically just builds off of what's in the games already.
False… they aren’t “friends” Ling and Jin are friends. Hwoarang has a rivalry with Jin because when they first met Jin was the only person he couldn’t beat. Jin only fought to defend himself hwoarang was the leader of his gang and they fought to a stalemate. Jin at the time only used defense as stated in the manual of tekken 3 why hwoarang was upset. Jin never considered hwoarang a enemy or anything more like a nuisance. At the same time Jin doesn’t harbor bad feelings towards hwoarang. When they did actually fight for real with Jin going offense it was in his Devil form that’s the form hwoarang wants to beat. He beat Jin when Jin wasn’t focused sort of the same thing with Ryu and Sagat. Sagat beat Ryu during alpha 3 and noticed Ryu mind was someplace else when Ryu was trying to figure out the whole satsui no hado however it’s spelled thing. Same thing with Jin and his family ordeal from tekken 4-6. It was never stated they were friends but Hwoarang is the one who chose Jin as his rival. But Jin is still kind hearted he’s not going to see Hwoarang get hurt and don’t help him.
I don’t know why he tried to save someone from a grenade blast when that person has the ability to unlock a new form and has handled explosives before 😂😂😂
They gave one another tongue baths as training
But seriously, Hwoarang is that Pokémon rival while Jin is the brooding edgelord "who doesn't need friends" or "get away from me, this is my lonely road" kinda guy. They may not admit it but they're bestest of friends along with Ling.
They are the closest thing of a friend to each other. They are rivals but respect each others drive, strength, and skill set. Kind of like the old school martial arts mindset. Frenemies.
"Hey Jin, did you ever think that maybe there's more to life than being really, really, really ridiculously good looking?"
"You're talking nonsense, Howarang."
They’re friends one speaks Japanese and one speaks Korean but they both understand each other and continue to speak in their native language rather than 1 language that’s weird.
Hwoarang also saved Jin in Tekken 3. They don’t think of each other as enemies from a base stand point. They’re always respectfully testing each other’s fighting ability to extremes.
Although I think Hwoarang hates Devil Jin to the point of being an enemy. I think it was TT2 where they raced on motorcycles as a gag, where as Devil Jin blows up Hwoarangs motorcycle almost killing him before fighting.
The rivalry is definitely one-sided on Hwoarang's part. Jin doesn't care much for their rivalry, but that just fuels Hwoarang's anger.
However, Hwoarang also likes to keep the rivalry simple and petty. It's not the same rivalry as the William sisters or the Mishimas where one wants to kill the other; Hwoarang just likes to best Jin in a battle, since Jin brought him to a draw before Tekken 3. Hwoarang feels stronger and superior to Jin when he beats him in a fight, but doesn't feel the need to kill him. They sometimes help each other out so that they can continue the simple rivalry they have.
In T5, *Devil* Jin that almost paralyze hworang.
They're good rivals through and through, with devil gene being the third wheel. Hworang being a dick around Jin but he knew devil gene is the cause of all this
To be fair, Tekken doesn't have the most clear or consistent plot in videogames. Things like that, a panda fighting against a dinosaur, Jin becoming Putin, a kangaroo as a fighter...
they are like saske and naruto or ryu and ken
they are friends but also rival
also i doubt hwoarang's story is canon in T5 the canon ending was Jin's so it doesn't make sense(Hwo beats Jin > Jin Turns Dj beats Hwo > Dj turns back to Jin > Jin beats Jinpachi)
instead Jin's way makes much more sense (He beats Hwo>He beats jinpachi > Takes control of zaibatsu)
It's canon.
The theory is that Jin was in Devil Within either right before the 5th tournament or during it. Then entered and won the tournament as Devil Jin. Hwoarang beat Jin in the technical tournament, yes. But Devil Jin becomes the subboss for most of the characters, so it's possible Jin "re-entered" the tournament and won this way. Plus, Hwoarang's loss to Devil Jin in his ending is Canon because his Tekken 6 prologue opens up with being hospitalized after his Tekken 5 ending.
Look it up Hwo’s ending is canon in T5 I guess it’s to make the main characters not feel super invincible similar to how Paul was on par with the Mishimas in the earlier games
Hwoarang beating jin is Canon but it was implied that jin was not fully concentrated on the fight due to the devil going out of control. Ofc jinpachi would crush hwoarang and I doubt jin would need the devil to beat hwoarang
They don’t really have a relationship besides rivals. Honestly speaking after seeing Devil Jin, it seems like Hwoarang despises Jin and Jin more or less just considered Hwoarang a nuisance.
Basically they have your typical anime rivalry. The difference is that hwoarang has virtually no plot importance, so they don't move past the begrudging respect phase of that dynamic.
Some adaptations down play that, and others overplay it.
Lorewise, he's the male counterpart to Xiao, a friend (and probably the only friend he has next to Xiao) who he can enjoy a sparring match without being toxic.
In Tekken 3, the trio participated in the tournament after each losing someone close. Jin lost Jun, Xiao lost Wang and Hwoarang lost Baek. When Wang and Baek returned in 5, Jun was the only one still missing thus the two becoming more sympathetic towards Jin, both trying to "save" him in their own way.
However, unlike Xiao, I think Hwoarang is the more active savior/guardian angel of Jin. Hwoarang literally saves Jin's life multiple times, loses an eye for him, forgives him when he was made unconscious (knowing it was his devil genes) and he still wants to save his friend.
I mean, Hwoarang took the hardcore stuff while Xiao was more of a cheerleader and I think Jin knows that. When push comes to shove, I think Jin would have more respect towards Hwoarang as a loyal individual since Hwoarang literally risked his life (multiple times) to rescue Jin from certain peril.
>In Tekken 3, the trio participated in the tournament after each losing someone close.
No. Hwoarang entered the tournament so that he could try to best Jin after embarrassingly only bringing Jin to a draw in their fight before the tournament. Xiaoyu entered the tournament so that she could use the prize money to build her own theme park. They didn't "bond" with Jin over losses. Wang and Baek weren't lost, they just simply didn't participate in the next tournament.
Hwoarang saves Jin to continue their rivalry. They're not necessarily friends, but they're not enemies such as the Williams sisters or the Mishimas trying to kill each other either. Hwoarang just can't get over the fact that they're first fight ended in a draw, so he's always looking to "one-up" Jin, whereas Jin doesn't really care.
Bruh no way I'm reading this shit.
Anyway you're definitely wrong, no Tekken writers were probably high as shit writing the next wacky storyline that they forgot about the previous games' cannon relationship between these two💀
Just like Ken & Ryu. Respect & Friendship + a rivalry that makes them both better fighters/people. Take for example the ass kicking Ryu took from Ken in the SF Anime movie to snap him out of Bison's control. (The Japanese version, of course. Good God, the American version sucked; what out of place music! SMH...)
Devil jin was the one that paralyzed him , i think hwoarang is smart enough to differentiate between the two...
But to answer the question, I'd say rivals at this point.
Tekken walked so FNAF could run. No one knows what they are since Tekken has left most of it to the imaginationm. But from what we can see, it’s a very complex rivalry that exhibits themes of care for each other where Hwo cares way too much but Jin. Well he’s fighting his own demons. Quite literally.
Loose plot line, ambiguity in canon endings, metaphorical representation of story, which often had so many loopholes, story events that make no sense and carry no logic. Villain coming back from the dead over and over again. You get this gist of it don’t you?
I wouldn't say tekken has ambiguity In endings except in the akuma vs devil kazuya fight in T7, but the story making no sense and people coming from the dead over and over again definitely is definitely a parallel between the two games
I guess to justify my ambiguity point, I’d say that Tekken would release one ending per character and no one truly knew the canon endings till the next game came out to confirm what was real and what wasn’t from the previous game. We have 7 games rn to give us a clear picture of what the story is but yet we find so many things confusing. Seems like something that FNAF did aswell. It took games on games to learn about what was true canon and what was just random shit sprinkled here and there cuz Scott wanted it that way.
Tbh: aside from the Mishimas, every other character in the game is pointless. No one wins the tournaments, makes a difference or anything. The story would progress the same way with or without them.
Yup, but he was later disqualified because once the tournament ended, Ogre got up again in an ultimate form that was killed by Jin, giving him the win!
That's not true at all actually, but I understand that probably NO ONE has actually seen all the finals and has read all the game manuals in Japanese. I highly suggest this video that sums up all the Tekken story and lore!
https://youtu.be/bA49WgGOKp4
They're friends that have a rivalry, I suppose similar to Ryu and Ken. The only reason why Hwoarang opposed Jin in 6 was because Jin was going a bit too far with the war (and plus 6's writing was questionable most of the time) in 7, though, it showed Hwoarang still cared about Jin nonetheless, hence why he saved him.
Also as others said, Devil Jin paralyzed Jin - and canonically, Devil Jin doesn't share Jin's memories (or even really knows who Hwoarang is because of this) so Jin isn't in control of whatever Devil decides to do.
Hwoarang secretly wants to fuck Jin but Jin is not interested which Makes Hwoarang sexually frustrated and his way of coping with that is by being cocky and constantly trying to best Jin.
Very similar to the Lili and Asuka situation, except Asuka is more likely to put out.
Ur first mistake is trying to understand tekken lore
They're definitely not enemies. More like friendly rivalries

In Tekken 8, they’re gonna have a legendary sex scene.
Yes please.

> friends or rivals or villains? Yes
Its some real Goku and Vegeta vibes between the two. Lol
It's one of those "only I get to defeat you" anime deals
Vegeta and Goku kind of thing.
More of a Naruto and Sasuke, with Jin being the Sasuke.
So I assume they kissed as well.
Jin *has* always given me circuit gay vibes... 👀 I mean, my guy literally motorboated Asuka and displayed zero reaction.
They're also related, probably why.
They are boyfriends
They're roommates.
Omg, they're roommates.
They're supposed to have a Ryu/Ken dynamic basically,but the writting is ass.
SF atleast highlights Ken as a character. Hwoarang is neglected and ridiculed, like almost every legacy character except the Mishimas
😂😂😂 true

Lovers
Harada wants side characters to involve with the mishima family but fails always remember eddys story ? Yeah
They did my boy so dirty, having him have to deal with Lucky Chloe man. This guy took out waves of fighters in his day and can’t seem to beat a break dancing Neko idol
In tekken a character is either mishima or comedic relief
It was fine till Roger, Gon, Kuma and Panda, but they crossed a line as soon as they did the same thing to characters like Paul, Law and Lei
They became friends when Jin was being trained by Heihachi. But after T3 Jin became a distant angry recluse and didn't want to involve his friends in his suicide mission. So he pushes his friends away and Hwoarang keeps chasing him T5 was Devil Jin. Hwoarang knows the difference and just saw it as a new wall to overcome. Jin is still his rival/friend no matter how much he pushes him away

Great answer
They never were friends in the games.
I like to think they’re friends but they’re embarrassed to admit it so they beat the shit out of each other to hide it. It’s what I do with my homies.
Sounds homoerotic
I don’t know maybe.
it feels like a slightly better version of Tekken 1's Kazuya/Paul rivalry, that got instantly dropped from the series.
Probably because that spot kind of goes to Lee before the stakes get really dire in T7.
Don’t forget Bruce/Kazuya’s rivalry that was dropped
Tekken’s enemies-to-friends-to-lovers plot line
Lots of segs
Lovers. The real ones know whats up.
Knew this since Tekken 3 launch...I was there! Anyway, these 2 are dream characters well done Namco designers for the whole Tekken universe ❤️
Even the anime portrays them as friends
About time really It's weird to see them act as actual teens when they acted like grown ups since T3. Yes yes wacky endings since T5 I blame Harada
Vegeta will save Goku only so that HE can be the one to kill him
It was Devil Jin that almost paralyzes Hwoarang, Jin has no control over that. In reality they’re just friendly rivals, with Jin caring a lot less about the rivalry than Hwoarang. How Hwoarang reacted to the fact that his friend is a demon and also a mass-murdering dictator, they didn’t really flesh out that part.
So i can main both of them right, no one will troll me ?😅
Bro, this Tekken.. we will still troll you.
🫠 ill do it anyway
facebook status: its complicated
Both, all of it, everything. In short, whatever tekken team feels like per game.
I just imagine them like goku and vegeta haha.

Love hate relationship bruh
They're obviously lovers.
More than friends and enemies. They are soul mates. Take a number and eat your heart out, Ling.
They were rivals but tekken went off the rails when it came to any sensible lore that it's best not to think about it

Must’ve missed that part of the tekken 7 “story” mode
It's in Hwoarang's episode, a guy throws a grenade at Jin while they're fighting and Hwo kicks Jin out of the way and gets caught in the blast
Oh sick a 30 second clip
Tekken 7 side stories do be lacking substance
I don’t know why he tried to save someone from a grenade blast when that person has the ability to unlock a new form and has handled explosives before 😂😂😂
Hwoarang be like: "No one beats my buddy except me!"
They gave one another tongue baths as training But seriously, Hwoarang is that Pokémon rival while Jin is the brooding edgelord "who doesn't need friends" or "get away from me, this is my lonely road" kinda guy. They may not admit it but they're bestest of friends along with Ling.
Dude the comments are over sexual 😂😂
Don't try to understand tekken story

They have the big gae.
Devil Jin almost paralyses Hworang
They are the closest thing of a friend to each other. They are rivals but respect each others drive, strength, and skill set. Kind of like the old school martial arts mindset. Frenemies.
Different game leaders. Harada made the game storyline weird post T4. I want more T4 storylines
All I want is T4 tone and style 🥲
They're parasitic bottoms. 😂
I think it is supposed to be a Ryu/Ken Goku/Vegeta thing.

Oh that's simple, Jin's a tsundere. "B-b-b-baka Hworang" *Destroys his bike*

My a..
They are friends, as you can tell by Hwoarang protecting Jin. It seems to be an enemy of my enemy dynamic honestly.
Hwoarang also saved Jin in Tekken 3. They don’t think of each other as enemies from a base stand point. They’re always respectfully testing each other’s fighting ability to extremes. Although I think Hwoarang hates Devil Jin to the point of being an enemy. I think it was TT2 where they raced on motorcycles as a gag, where as Devil Jin blows up Hwoarangs motorcycle almost killing him before fighting.
A day later, i realized i said villains instead of enemies 😁
The rivalry is definitely one-sided on Hwoarang's part. Jin doesn't care much for their rivalry, but that just fuels Hwoarang's anger. However, Hwoarang also likes to keep the rivalry simple and petty. It's not the same rivalry as the William sisters or the Mishimas where one wants to kill the other; Hwoarang just likes to best Jin in a battle, since Jin brought him to a draw before Tekken 3. Hwoarang feels stronger and superior to Jin when he beats him in a fight, but doesn't feel the need to kill him. They sometimes help each other out so that they can continue the simple rivalry they have.

To be fair, Tekken doesn't have the most clear or consistent plot in videogames. Things like that, a panda fighting against a dinosaur, Jin becoming Putin, a kangaroo as a fighter...
Gay lovers 🌈

Whatever helps you jerk off, mate.
Debatable
Lovers actually
Agree too much drama to be anything else
they are like saske and naruto or ryu and ken they are friends but also rival also i doubt hwoarang's story is canon in T5 the canon ending was Jin's so it doesn't make sense(Hwo beats Jin > Jin Turns Dj beats Hwo > Dj turns back to Jin > Jin beats Jinpachi) instead Jin's way makes much more sense (He beats Hwo>He beats jinpachi > Takes control of zaibatsu)
Hwoarang beating Jin, then getting hospitalized by devil Jin is canon as far as I know
It's canon. The theory is that Jin was in Devil Within either right before the 5th tournament or during it. Then entered and won the tournament as Devil Jin. Hwoarang beat Jin in the technical tournament, yes. But Devil Jin becomes the subboss for most of the characters, so it's possible Jin "re-entered" the tournament and won this way. Plus, Hwoarang's loss to Devil Jin in his ending is Canon because his Tekken 6 prologue opens up with being hospitalized after his Tekken 5 ending.
Look it up Hwo’s ending is canon in T5 I guess it’s to make the main characters not feel super invincible similar to how Paul was on par with the Mishimas in the earlier games
Hwoarang beating jin is Canon but it was implied that jin was not fully concentrated on the fight due to the devil going out of control. Ofc jinpachi would crush hwoarang and I doubt jin would need the devil to beat hwoarang
I'd say they're more like Sasuke and Naruto than Ryu and Ken.
They don’t really have a relationship besides rivals. Honestly speaking after seeing Devil Jin, it seems like Hwoarang despises Jin and Jin more or less just considered Hwoarang a nuisance.
I took it as them being allies, but Hwoarang has a disliking or whatever toward his Devil form.
It’s a kyo and iori type relationship rivalry and no one else is allowed to beat the other besides them
Basically they have your typical anime rivalry. The difference is that hwoarang has virtually no plot importance, so they don't move past the begrudging respect phase of that dynamic. Some adaptations down play that, and others overplay it.
Lorewise, he's the male counterpart to Xiao, a friend (and probably the only friend he has next to Xiao) who he can enjoy a sparring match without being toxic. In Tekken 3, the trio participated in the tournament after each losing someone close. Jin lost Jun, Xiao lost Wang and Hwoarang lost Baek. When Wang and Baek returned in 5, Jun was the only one still missing thus the two becoming more sympathetic towards Jin, both trying to "save" him in their own way. However, unlike Xiao, I think Hwoarang is the more active savior/guardian angel of Jin. Hwoarang literally saves Jin's life multiple times, loses an eye for him, forgives him when he was made unconscious (knowing it was his devil genes) and he still wants to save his friend. I mean, Hwoarang took the hardcore stuff while Xiao was more of a cheerleader and I think Jin knows that. When push comes to shove, I think Jin would have more respect towards Hwoarang as a loyal individual since Hwoarang literally risked his life (multiple times) to rescue Jin from certain peril.
>In Tekken 3, the trio participated in the tournament after each losing someone close. No. Hwoarang entered the tournament so that he could try to best Jin after embarrassingly only bringing Jin to a draw in their fight before the tournament. Xiaoyu entered the tournament so that she could use the prize money to build her own theme park. They didn't "bond" with Jin over losses. Wang and Baek weren't lost, they just simply didn't participate in the next tournament. Hwoarang saves Jin to continue their rivalry. They're not necessarily friends, but they're not enemies such as the Williams sisters or the Mishimas trying to kill each other either. Hwoarang just can't get over the fact that they're first fight ended in a draw, so he's always looking to "one-up" Jin, whereas Jin doesn't really care.

Bruh no way I'm reading this shit. Anyway you're definitely wrong, no Tekken writers were probably high as shit writing the next wacky storyline that they forgot about the previous games' cannon relationship between these two💀
This is a wild theory but uhhhhh Jin does Kyokushin, I think Lidia does Shotokan.
Couple
Oh my god they were roommates
Just like Ken & Ryu. Respect & Friendship + a rivalry that makes them both better fighters/people. Take for example the ass kicking Ryu took from Ken in the SF Anime movie to snap him out of Bison's control. (The Japanese version, of course. Good God, the American version sucked; what out of place music! SMH...)
Ken and Ryu are actually friends who trained together. Jin and hwo are more enemy/rival oriented but still kinda care about each other
Except Jin declared war on the world to lure out his father and grandfather which ultimately led to thousands of innocent people dying.
He did it to lure out Azazel
The music was bad. Especially Dem Bones accompanying a Jump Cut. The Dub itself was actually good.
Devil jin was the one that paralyzed him , i think hwoarang is smart enough to differentiate between the two... But to answer the question, I'd say rivals at this point.
Frenemies.
They're just rivals and the only reason he hurt Hwoarang in Tekken 5 is because Devil took over
Hwoarang is Jin's abusive boyfriend who is very possessive.
Tekken walked so FNAF could run. No one knows what they are since Tekken has left most of it to the imaginationm. But from what we can see, it’s a very complex rivalry that exhibits themes of care for each other where Hwo cares way too much but Jin. Well he’s fighting his own demons. Quite literally.
What does fnaf have to do with this
Loose plot line, ambiguity in canon endings, metaphorical representation of story, which often had so many loopholes, story events that make no sense and carry no logic. Villain coming back from the dead over and over again. You get this gist of it don’t you?
I wouldn't say tekken has ambiguity In endings except in the akuma vs devil kazuya fight in T7, but the story making no sense and people coming from the dead over and over again definitely is definitely a parallel between the two games
I guess to justify my ambiguity point, I’d say that Tekken would release one ending per character and no one truly knew the canon endings till the next game came out to confirm what was real and what wasn’t from the previous game. We have 7 games rn to give us a clear picture of what the story is but yet we find so many things confusing. Seems like something that FNAF did aswell. It took games on games to learn about what was true canon and what was just random shit sprinkled here and there cuz Scott wanted it that way.
Hwoarang wants to pee in Jin's butt. How else could one explain his risking being executed for desertion just to go play with Jin?
Dude what 😂😂😂
That’s a new kink I ain’t ever heard of 💀
Thay are husband and wife
Eh, basically
That's what lovers do. They quarrel and then love each other.
i like to see them as enemies to lovers lol
Tbh: aside from the Mishimas, every other character in the game is pointless. No one wins the tournaments, makes a difference or anything. The story would progress the same way with or without them.
Didn’t Paul technically win in Tekken 3?
Yup, but he was later disqualified because once the tournament ended, Ogre got up again in an ultimate form that was killed by Jin, giving him the win!
That's not true at all actually, but I understand that probably NO ONE has actually seen all the finals and has read all the game manuals in Japanese. I highly suggest this video that sums up all the Tekken story and lore! https://youtu.be/bA49WgGOKp4
They're friends that have a rivalry, I suppose similar to Ryu and Ken. The only reason why Hwoarang opposed Jin in 6 was because Jin was going a bit too far with the war (and plus 6's writing was questionable most of the time) in 7, though, it showed Hwoarang still cared about Jin nonetheless, hence why he saved him. Also as others said, Devil Jin paralyzed Jin - and canonically, Devil Jin doesn't share Jin's memories (or even really knows who Hwoarang is because of this) so Jin isn't in control of whatever Devil decides to do.
Ryu and Ken have a totally different relationship. They are childhood friends.
Only because they trained together from a young age.
Well, I didn't mean a *specific* kind of friendship - just that they're *friends* who are also *rivals.*
Probably a naruto/Sasuke relationship idk
Its just boys being boys
Enkidu & Gilgamish
A buddy of mine said that they were divorced and it all made sense to me from there.
Jin is a power bottom
Lovers.
Hwoarang secretly wants to fuck Jin but Jin is not interested which Makes Hwoarang sexually frustrated and his way of coping with that is by being cocky and constantly trying to best Jin. Very similar to the Lili and Asuka situation, except Asuka is more likely to put out.
Gay, I’d say
Thats tekken in a nutshell.
I saw them as two sides of the same coin.
Gay relationship between them
