During the Miltian Conflict, Jin managed to steal information from Margulis concerning the true nature of the Miltian Conflict—the Y-Data. After joining chaos and Canaan in their search for the U.R.T.V.s, the group was stopped by Margulis, who challenged Jin to a duel. Margulis displayed superior skill with his sword, wounding Jin during the duel. When it came to Ether skills, however, Jin proved to be the better. Both duelists hurled a ball of potent energy at each other. Margulis' sphere of energy crashed into Jin, knocking the breath out of him and severely weakening him. Jin's, however, hit Margulis in the face, which left the man with a vicious gash over his right eye that would eventually leave a permanent scar. chaos from Xenosaga: Episode III chaos (ケイオス) is a playable character in the Xenosaga series. ...

While in the military, he was ranked directly under Margulis and was Pellegri's superior. Both Jin and Margulis trained under the swordmaster, Ouga Uzuki. He also taught Shion her as yet mostly unseen martial arts abillities touted in the Episode I onboard encyclopedia.


Some of these martial art abilities, including a few sword fighting, may be seen in Episode II, if you decide to complete the certain GS quests to obtain a few of Jin/Shion Double Techs. Two examples are Phoniex Blade and Lion Heart.


After becoming aware of Margulis's treachery during the Miltian Conflict, Jin received information from his father Suou and began his own secret-information activities under then-Lieutenant General Helmer. His relationship with chaos also began during this period.


While he shared a deep connection with Pellegri during his time in the Federation military, they never walked the same path again, due to differences in their relative stations. It is a particularly sad conclusion considering that his mother Aoi, like Pellegri, had inherited the bloodline of the Immigrant Fleet, and the same blood clearly ran through Jin.


At the end of Episode III, Jin is mortally wounded by the Armaros Gnosis, being stabbed twice by its deadly blades, and dies beside the fallen E.S. Asher.

Similarity to Xenogears’ Citan Uzuki

One who is familiar with both Xenosaga and its predecessor, Xenogears may find Jin a little more than vaguely familiar. Jin bears a shocking resemblance to the character of Citan Uzuki. Jin's hair, face, and voice style are all nearly identical to that of Citan, but there are other similarities (other than having the same last name, although Xenogears' Citan's real name was Hyuga Ricdeau, with the surname Uzuki being nothing more than an operative alias): Both Citan and Jin are masters of Japanese style swordplay, both use similar mecha, and both have somewhat similar pasts being renowned former members of some kind of military service, doctors, and scholars. Both men are also quite knowledgeable as to the peripheral events that take place within the core tale, often acting as narrative informants. In Episode II, the A.M.W.S. he pilots bears a strong resemblance to Citan's Heimdal. This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. ...

In Episode III, one of the outfits Jin is seen wearing is a bright green robe similar to what Citan wore in Xenogears. His hair is styled in a way that is identical to Citan's as well. An E.S. unit named Reuben with dark green plating and twin katanas is piloted by Jin, which resembles Citan's own Omnigear, Fenrir.
