Jin came to believe that destroying Azazel would rid him of the Devil Gene and save humanity from a path of self-destruction to this end, he used the Mishima Zaibatsu to stoke all-out war across the globe. Azazel began to speak telepathically with Jin, and told him that it would achieve physical form if the world was filled with enough negative energy. Jin and Kazuya were the 'two dark stars' referenced in the prophecy. Thousands of years after its imprisonment, the seal binding Azazel broke due to fighting between Kazuya Mishima and his son, Jin Kazama, both of whom were carriers of the Devil Gene. A prophecy was passed down among Zafina's clan that stated that Azazel would awaken and destroy the world when 'two dark stars' clashed in battle. Īt some point, humans overthrew Azazel, and Zafina's ancient ancestors imprisoned its spirit in the temple that was once built in its name, placing a magic seal to bind it within. It was once known as the 'Rectifier' and is the progenitor of the Devil Gene. Azazel is a demon that ruled over the heavens and earth thousands of years ago.
