Alright guys, I got a crackpot conspiracy theory with barely any evidence to support it.
I think evil Jin "lost his memories" on purpose and made a new personality in order to be liked/accepted by others. And he modeled that personality off of Kimoto. (Maybe in an attempt to understand Kimoto better?)
When Jin was found he had a blade buried in his skull, seemingly made of his own blood. So an injury he gave himself to intentionally rewire his own brain, as Jin understood human anatomy freakishly well. He basically lobotimized himself on purpose. The new personality that emerged, imo, had striking similarities to Kimoto.
This could've been subconscious or intentional, but i think it was intentional. The new Jin was soft spoken, sweet, and intelligent. He also imprinted on Charin like a baby duck (the same way Kimoto did with Tehir) and hung onto his every word to the point of making himself dumb to make Charin happy.
Mild spoiler? But in a future chapter it's stated that Kimoto would have even killed himself if Tehir had wished it. These two viewed Tehir and Charin the same, and acted the same in regards to those feelings. Which is bizarre because evil Jin loathed the relationship Kimoto had with Tehir, as Jin was completely the opposite of Kimoto.
I kinda think evil Jin will make a return, but the two Jins will be like a split personality situation rather than Jin remembering and suddenly returning to who he was before.
