He also uses [[Franchise/{{Persona}} Black Viper and Morning Star]], signature moves of Satan[[labelnote:*]]Bear in mind that Forum Fantasy's UpdatedRerelease was released nearly five years before ''VideoGame/Persona5 Royal'', where Satanael can also learn Black Viper.[[/labelnote]] and Lucifer respectively.

Krazier also makes this reference when questioning Prelich's quest to conquer Hell in the normal ending.
