The Tekken series is one of the most popular fighting games ever. The first Tekken starred Kazuya Mishima as he sought revenge against his father, Heihachi. As the series progressed, we soon were introduced to other members of the family such as Kazuya's son, Jin Kazama.

But in 2004's Tekken 5, players were introduced to the eldest Mishima in the series; Jinpachi Mishima. Imprisoned by Heihachi for years, he receives the power of the Devil and is freed after the events of Tekken 4. The fifth game then, has Jinpachi as the final boss during the arcade mode.

With a purple aura and a mouth in his stomach that could shoot fireballs, Mishima is one of the toughest bosses in the series' history.

But in the event that the player opted not to continue, the game gives an alternative to a game over screen. Instead, Jinpachi's ending is unlocked.

With no one strong enough to beat him, the elderly man undergoes a final transformation. As he grows more monstrous, he heads to the sky. Lines of text then describe the destruction he causes and how the world will never be the same.
