Jin is a skilled swordsman and a wandering ronin. He is also a complex and well-developed character who embodies many of the qualities that make for an ideal masculinity.

This strength and capability make him a protector and provider, qualities that are traditionally associated with masculinity.
Second, Jin is independent and self-reliant. He does not need anyone to take care of him, and he is always willing to help others. This independence and self-reliance make him a man of honor and integrity, qualities that are also valued in traditional masculinity.
Third, Jin is compassionate and kind. He is always willing to help those in need, even if it means putting himself in danger. This compassion and kindness make him a caring and nurturing figure, qualities that are often overlooked in traditional masculinity. He is also well trained in the martial arts unlike mugen who freestyles the samurai technique
Fourth, Jin is intelligent and resourceful. He is able to think quickly and solve problems creatively. This intelligence and resourcefulness make him a valuable asset to any group, and they also make him a man of wit and humor.
Fifth, Jin is humble and modest. He does not brag about his accomplishments, and he is always willing to learn from others. This humility and modesty make him a man of wisdom and understanding. Unlike mugen who dunks in your face but honestly we need a bit of mugen in us can’t argue with that, some people don’t get it unless you dunk on them.
