Jin was one of my favorite minor characters on the show.

Despite being on an enemy team and a contest that allowed murder, he was very friendly and was clearly in it for the fun of fighting.

He had some impressive wind powers.

And one of the few characters that could fly.

He was the first opponent Yusuke truly used the Spirit Wave technique against.

Resulting in a loss for Jin, but despite the painful blow, he almost got back up before the ten count was over.

At the end of the series, he rises to the S-Class level of power. All in an effort to fight Yusuke again. But I don’t think they had their gentlemanly match against each other again before he lost in the Demon World Tournament.
