I saw some comments on social media talking about how the feud between Kazuya and Jin doesn't make much sense or a basis for why they fight, other than being Mishimas.
To a certain extent they are right, the relationship between these two is nothing like the relationship between Kazuya and Heihachi. Well, since Kazuya returned in Tekken 4 he only tried to obtain the latent power of the devilish gene in Jin's body, unfortunately he failed and only in Tekken 8 did they both meet face to face again.
I don't take it into account very much in Tekken 6 because as far as I'm concerned, they just sent their armies to fight. In the end when Kazuya goes to Azazel's temple to fight Jin, Kazuya is stopped by Lars and leaves. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But returning to the previous topic, this relationship is more of a fight of ideals. Kazuya represents everything that Jin hates, I think Jin sees himself in some way reflected in his father and that is why he wants to stop him and put an end to the devil gen. Jin sees that action as a way to make amends for the damage he caused with his war in Tekken 6. Kazuya on the other hand, doesn't care about Jin at all, he just sees him as another impediment in his plans.
I have been meaning to talk about how accomplished Jun is though. She:
is such a powerful psychic that her clan apparently considered her a 'chosen one'
is literally such a strong fighter that she is able to suppress projecting her aura - something only the most powerful are able to do - which is why animals feel safe to approach her
fought well enough in the second tournament that Kazuya still thinks about her strength 22 years later in the story mode and waxes lyrical about it in his character ending (❓ on if she actually faced him though)
defeated Devil while pregnant ✔️ (only the half, but still counts)
has the survival skills to not only survive but thrive far from civilization
defeated Ogre ✔️
achieved the above via drawing power from sacred ground, something the average person obviously cannot do
is implied to have Yatagarasu guiding her per one of her intros
