## History

### Calabash

Sometime after MK defeated the Demon Bull King, Jin and Yin heard about MK and knew that he would be a perfect adversary to them. So Jin and Yin made MK delivered noodles to their hideout so they can trap him in the Calabash. After making the Mei's Calabash counterpart fall in love with MK, Jin attempts to fix his mistake but was stopped by Yin, who thinks that Jin is just going to tell MK that everything's perfect again. Moments later, Jin uses the Calabash again to fix his mistake.

When MK found the Golden Staff in the Calabash, Jin and Yin used the Calabash counterparts of MK's Team, the Monkey King, and Mo to convince MK not to take the staff. However, after Jin realized that cats can't talk, he and Yin used the counterparts to prevent MK from taking the staff but failed. Once MK broke free from the Calabash, Jin and Yin told him about themselves and how he got trapped in the Calabash. Although, when MK attempt to fight them, Jin and Yin escaped.

### The Great Wall Race

After MK joined the Great Wall Race, Jin and Yin remind him that they are in the race as well. However, once the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan joined, Yin and Jin quit the race and became the announcers.

During the race, Jin and Yin commented on the racers and what they did until MK and Mei won the Great Wall Race.

### Revenge of the Spider Queen

During New Year's, Jin was trapped in one of the Spider Queen's webs to power the Arachnoid Base, along with Yin and the other demons the Spider Queen captured. However, after the Monkey King managed to get DBK mad enough to free himself from the spider webs, Jin was freed as well.

### Sweet 'n' Sour

The rival restaurant to Pigsy's Noodles, Speedy Panda, challenges Pigsy and MK to Food Wars. Jin, along with Yin, are revealed to be the owners of Speedy Panda. They compete against Pigsy's cooking by attempting to sabotage his meals, and by using fast, microwavable dinners as their own meals.

### Familiar Tales

Ne Zha's possessions were plundered by Jin and Yin, who then utilized them to launch a massive assault on Megapolis. Using the Golden Serpent Shears as their weapon of choice, they sliced through the urban landscape with ease. In a lighthearted manner, Jin jokingly mentioned that their escapade would incur an additional expense for a hair dyeing session, as the only available color would be red. However, their plans were abruptly thwarted when MK and Mei arrived. To impede Mei's progress, Jin hurled the Universal Ring towards the Dragon Jet, hoping to strike it down. However, the aircraft evaded the attack. Undeterred, Jin and Yin readied themselves to launch another assault on Mei, utilizing more of Ne Zha's artifacts. Jin issued a warning to Mei, foretelling her imminent downfall, as both he and Yin unleashed a relentless barrage of items towards the Dragon Jet. Among the items hurled was the Golden Brick, which ultimately obliterated the Dragon Jet. However, MK rescued Mei and transformed the Dragon Jet into a jetpack for the Combi Mech. Jin's fear became palpable as MK and Mei obliterated the very building upon which Jin and Yin were perched by using the shears against the demons.

Jin begged for forgiveness, proposing a brief pause to seek a peaceful solution. However, his plea was abruptly cut short when the Golden Brick unexpectedly landed on his head. Trying to deceive, MK stressed the urgency to put an end to the Gold and Silver Demons. As MK raised the shears to vanquish the demons, the Demon Accountant stopped him. Jin and Yin both agreed that they had truly learned their lesson and vowed to steer clear of any further mischief.

## Personality

Like his brother, Jin likes to frighten other people who are unaware of him so he can make them think he is a major threat, as he was scared of MK at first when he broke free from the Calabash but acted intimidating after MK questioned who he was.

Jin likes to take control of competitions so he and his brother can make things difficult for the participants rather than win, as the Gold and Silver Horn Demons wanted to compete in the Great Wall Race so they can win at first but decided to become the announcers and change the course when the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan joined the race.

Jin, like his brother, seems to enjoy being a menace.
