Characters like Asuka, Lili, Xiaoyu, are not evil :x
But the "main" characters... yeah, kinda

the story is that every mishima is a gigantic douche so pretty much every main character is an asshole.

Mishima is Japanese for unrepentant asshole

Heihachi just wants to get rid of the devil, ain't nothin' wrong with that.
Jin sent the world into chaos to unwake an ancient evil so that he could destroy it. P noble if u ask me.
And there is not an ounce of evil in Leo.

King and Yoshimitsu are good guys through and through.
Basically came in to say something along the lines of this
Tekken has horribly mismanaged its roster in terms of characterization

Is plunging the world into a horrible world war so you can beat the devil up really all that good? I don't feel like the ends justify the means here.
If the evil demon can just get bodied by Jin, did we really need to wake it up in the first place?

Heihachi (and Geese) are such shithead bad fathers that you put fucking Akuma in there and he somehow becomes the noble one.

I love Pokken!
The Mishimas are scumbags but Jin is more like an anti-hero.

Look at it. Is this the face of evil?
Yeah Jin's position in the story always tends to be on the hero side, but the whole starting a world war thing complicates matters.
He still fucking caused a world war and let millions of people die. I think calling Jin a hero post-T6 is still pretty debatable.
Lars and Alisa are basically the only core-story characters that aren't shitty in some way.

You know Tekken 7 really reframes Hehachi quite a bit.
The fact that he threw Kazuya off the cliff was a direct result of knowing he got the devil gene from his mother. Not saying that Hehachi isn't still his own brand of asshole (cause he is) but I would say after Tekken 7 he actually seems way more sympathetic and his cause understandable.
Start a world war to lure out someone who only came out because of the world war.

The devil herself
I thought Jin was just pretending to be evil to raise the Battle Beast God or whatever

Isn't the idea that it was going to come out and fuck everything up eventually anyway?
Well Akuma is not "i wanna conquer the world mwahahaha!" evil, he's just a guy who takes fighting too seriously and thinks it's totally cool to kill your oponent in sportmanship combat.
Paul Phoenix is the only good guy in the entire universe.
He was waiting in line for his limited edition copy of the most recent Tales game and fucking Bryan Fury cut the line and took the last bundled phone strap that they were giving out only in that location.
Fuck Bryan. And so Paul's adventure began.

I know T7's story tried really hard
to portray Heihachi as sympathetic since his entire goal was trying to stop the devil gene
Basically just about every Mishima (except for Jun and Lars) has done so much fucked up shit that I don't think you can possibly call them heroes despite what they were trying to do. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Whats there to hate about Mishima?
Heihachi wants to kill his son and grandson. Kazuya his father and son. Jin his father and grandfather. I'd say those would make for excellent neighbours.

Kazumi is a good guy, she just wanted to kill Heihachi's evil ass.

Was there another reveal besides Geese? I didn't really keep up with all the Evo news.
But on-topic: Yeah, I also don't like this general direction in Tekken where everyone is just a bad guy (be it "tragic" like Jin or a normal villanous type like Heihachi) from top to bottom. Of course there are exceptions, but they are few and far between, mostly the girls and animals. I hope after the Mishima saga they are going in a more World Warrior-esque or martial arts tournament direction, like King of the Iron tournament should be.
Azrael is a monster that would have emerged & destroyed everything. Jin lured him out early (& I think at a weaker state) by creating conflict to bait Azrael.

But
Heihachi wasn't really 'evil' at that point. Just a really fucking powerful martial artist.
