Heihachi paid particular attention to the corpse’s back, which had what looked like deformed, protruding wing-like limbs.Ĭonvinced that the picture was of Kazuya, his own son whom he threw into a volcano 20 years ago, Heihachi diverted all his resources into a search for the body. The 20-year-old photograph was an image of a burnt corpse covered with laceration wounds. However, Heihachi discovered a photograph during his investigation that stirred his curiosity. Jin’s whereabouts were unknown after the Tournament. Upon his transformation, he struck down Heihachi and took flight. As his life slipped away, Jin transformed into a Devil. Jin, who vanquished Ogre in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, was shot and mortally wounded by Heihachi. Heihachi learned that his own genome lacked the Devil Gene, but he knew someone who did. However, the research was unsuccessful.Īfter extensive experimentation, Heihachi’s bioengineers came to the conclusion that an additional gene - the Devil Gene - was necessary in order to successfully splice Ogre’s genetic code into another living organism. Heihachi’s goal was to create a new life form by splicing Ogre’s genome with his own. Not willing to give up, Heihachi ordered his researchers to collect blood samples, skin tissue, and hoof fragments left behind by Ogre (or known as True Ogre in its true manifestation) in order to conduct genetic experiments. Two years ago, Heihachi failed to capture Ogre.
