Overview

“You don't stand a chance against our relentless onslaught of magical artifacts that we've somehow managed to steal.”
— Yin[src]

Yin is Jin's brother and one of the many Demons that the Monkey King once fought.

History[]

Calabash[]

Sometime after MK defeated the Demon Bull King, Yin and Jin heard about MK and knew that he would be a perfect adversary for them. So Yin and Jin made MK deliver noodles to their hideout so they can trap him in the Calabash. After Jin made the mistake of making Mei's Calabash counterpart tell MK that she loves him, Yin attempted to take the Calabash from him, as he thought that Jin is would just tell MK that everything's perfect again. But instead, Yin decided to look through their scheme book to go through the plan. Once MK broke free from the Calabash, Yin and Jin told him about themselves and how he got trapped in the Calabash. Although, when MK attempt to fight them, Yin and Jin escaped.

The Great Wall Race[]

After MK joined the Great Wall Race, Yin and Jin 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, Yin and Jin 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, Yin was trapped in one of the Spider Queen's webs to power the Arachnoid Base, along with Jin 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, Yin was freed as well.

If we're going to make this new life of ours work as the world's greatest theater technicians, we're gonna have to take it serious.

Monkie Kid-S3Ep8-05-37

At some point, Yin and Jin moved to Lantern City so they could become technicians for their new goal. During the Ring of Light Festival's talent show, they were instructed to light the city's lantern during the end of the talent show. As the Monkie Kids and Monkey King were performing, Yin and Jin were astonished by Pigsy's singing until the Demon Accountant pulled the lever.

Familiar Tales[]

Yin and Jin stole all of Ne Zha's artifacts, repurposing them as weapons to launch a full-scale assault on Megapolis. Their weapon of choice, the Golden Serpent Shears, was specifically designed to slice through the city, tearing it into countless fragments. However, their plans were abruptly thwarted when MK and Mei arrived to stop them. Determined to impede Mei's progress, Yin and Jin unleashed an unrelenting barrage of Ne Zha's artifacts towards the Dragon Jet, including the Golden Brick. The impact of the artifact resulted in the destruction of the Dragon Jet. Yet MK swiftly swooped in to rescue Mei, ingeniously merging the Dragon Jet with the Combi Mech. Through the transformation, the Dragon Jet was remade as a jetpack. With a firm grip on the Golden Serpent Shears, MK prepared to confront Yin and Jin head-on. In a desperate plea, Yin called out to his mother just as MK and Mei obliterated the very building Yin and Jin were perched upon, effectively putting an end to their malicious attack.

Yin pleaded for mercy by suggesting a group hug before going their separate ways. However, MK, pretending to be unaffected, disregarded their pleas and emphasized that it was high time to put an end to their actions. Just as MK was about to attack Yin and Jin with the shears, the the Demon Accountant disrupted the situation. The Demon Accountant proposed that Yin and Jin had already learned their lesson, causing them to quickly agree and promise never to engage in any further wrongdoing. With the matter resolved, Yin, Jin, and the Demon Accountant departed, leaving behind a cloud of smoke created by Yin's thrown smoke bomb.

Personality[]

Like his brother, Yin acts intimidating to 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 until the latter questioned who they were. He is also the smartest one out of the two demons.[2][3]

Yin would rather make competitions difficult for people than win, as Jin and Yin wanted to compete in the Great Wall Race but decided to become the commentators and change the course when the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan joined.

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