4	The ''Nijūhachibushū'' are a group of 28 gods under the command of Sahasrabhuja (Thousand-Armed Kannon), which includes members from other groups such as the Twelve Heavenly Generals and Twelve Devas. In this game however, their connection to Kannon is never mentioned or given importance. Karuraten is the only member of this faction to be a returning character from ''Namu Amida Butsu!''

20	* BigEater: Easily rivals Seishi in terms of {{Running Gag}}s about eating capacity.
21	* EatingTheEnemy: He eats ''kleśas''.
22	* MusicalAssassin: In playable humanoid form, he fights by playing the flute.
23	* PromotedToPlayable: ''Demoted'' to playable, rather; he was essentially the ''dōmori'' of the first game, being the one fighting ''kleśas'' first until he became overwhelmed and needed the Thirteen Buddhas' help. In ''-UTENA-'', he's a voiced, collectible and playable Buddha.
24	* TeamPet: In his bird form, acts as the only non-humanoid cute animal inhabitant of the temple.
25	* {{Tengu}}: Being the creature that inspired the ''tengu'' in real mythology, the resemblance is inevitable.
26	* VocalDissonance: In both bird ''and'' humanoid form; he either appears as a cute, small animal or a teenage-like young man, but his voice as both is deep enough to pass for an adult in his twenties.
27	* TheVoiceless: He was unvoiced in the 2016 game.
28	* WingedHumanoid: Only in the game.

37	----
38	* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: He and Ungyō are illustrated by the same person, have the same build, face, hair and eyes, and their clothes are designed almost identically except for color.
39	* {{Hunk}}: One of the most outstanding examples in the game; he is well aware of how hunky he is, likes to assert it and make himself hunkier.

50	* AntiquatedLinguistics: He refers to Agyō as ''anija'', an archaic address meaning "older brother".
51	* {{Hunk}}: Every bit as well-built and preoccupied with it as his brother.

61	* AmbiguouslyGay: His obsession with Taishakuten and insistence on making him dance to his music is in the least somewhat homoerotic.
62	* MindControlMusic: His playing has the curious ability to make whomever listening to it dance uncontrollably… except Taishakuten.
63	* MusicalAssassin: He uses his playing to fight.

73	----
74	* AgentPeacock: Being a ''literal'' peacock, he dresses extravagantly, pays much attention to his beauty and is quite the {{narcissist}} about it.
75	* ArtisticLicenseReligion: The actual Mahāmāyūrī, a.k.a. ''Kujaku Myōō'', is a ''vidyārāja'' ([[GenderFlip vidyārājñī]] to be precise) and not a ''deva'' like this game assigns.
76	* BigEater: Implied on at least one occasion to have the same eating capacity as Karura – he's very particular about the taste of his food, and in his last Mandala Board story [[spoiler:shirks a mission to go eat as much good food as he can at a restaurant and in the end nearly devours other people's portions at the big meal held at the temple to celebrate said mission's success if he isn't stopped, even though he has eaten a ''lot'', both food and enemies, on the same day.]]
77	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull[=/=]CallingYourAttacks: For spell ''Ikōjaku Dokushoku''; the activating command is ''be noble'' (''kedakaku''). DummiedOut by the way.
78	* ChewingTheScenery: He is ''[[NoIndoorVoice so goddamn loud]]'' and his delivery so exaggerated that his speech is this by default[[note]]it helps that he's voiced by the same actor as Akari[[/note]].
79	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Any other Buddha on the main screen with Sanshi when he starts acting all CrazyJealousGuy will either tell him no, the dōmori isn't going buddy-buddy with Tamon, tell the dōmori to stay away from him, or in the least say something ''relevant'' to the matter. Well, not this guy.
80	-->'''Kujaku:''' What, you want an autograph? Fine.
81	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His hair and eyes are the same vibrant green.
82	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Unlike Karura, he does ''not'' enjoy eating insects or ''kleśas'', and assuming otherwise will make him ''very'' annoyed.
83	* EatingTheEnemy: He makes a fuss if made to eat bugs and enemies, but that doesn't mean he ''can't'', and he only eats them under specific circumstances.
84	* FluffyFashionFeathers: He's adorned with loads of these and often scatters them around too – much to [[NeatFreak Ususama]]'s dismay.
85	* {{Foil}}: To Karura; they're both divine birds that eat ''kleśas'', but he's more feminine in design and ''hates'' eating enemies.
86	* GenderFlip: The actual Mahāmāyūrī in Buddhist mythos is a female deity. FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you realize the game's averted the AnimalGenderBender that mythology commits.
87	* HamAndDeadpanDuo: Ham to Ususama's Deadpan.
88	* HeroicBSOD: Grandiose and proud as he is, once encountered certain failings, he will ''break down and beg others to ridicule him''. Either that, or he has masochistic tendencies.
89	* HeterosexualLifePartner: Possibly Ususama, whom he has special combined attack and internal affairs dialogues with and who affectionately dubs him "Kuja-kun".
90	* TheImmune: He's immune to poison, which makes him especially useful in dealing with poisonous enemies [[spoiler:but one time he's needed most, he's hanging out somewhere munching on something [[DoesNotLikeSpam tasting better]] instead.]]
91	* IncrediblyInconvenientDeity: He's more than a little self-centered – he's incredibly narcissistic to begin with and tends to insist on doing things his way. He fusses when it comes to ''kleśa'' purification with his EatingTheEnemy powers, and begs to appear in the Eight Offerings' shows only to mess them up in the end because he doesn't like the script [[spoiler:though to be fair, this one ends up ''improving'' the ''Romeo and Juliet'' production.]]
92	* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: One of the most well-dressed Buddhas.
93	* LargeHam: Not so much large ham as ''giant'' ham as basically the temple's number 1 drama king. His clothes are gaudy and his behavior is perpetually theatric, which leads to some of the cheesiest lines delivered in the loudest and most over-the-top manner.
94	* {{Narcissist}}: Right up there with Hana in this aspect; he not infrequently reminds others how brilliant and loved-by-all he is.
95	* OverlyLongName: May not have the longest name when written, but it's quite a mouthful when ''spoken'', which is why everybody calls him "Kujaku", "King Kujaku", or in the case of Ususama, "Kuja-kun".
96	* PeacockGirl: Since he's a peacock deity, he's adorned with peacock tail motifs, wears a tailcoat whose tail resembles a closed train and decorated with FluffyFashionFeathers.
97	* PerpetualMolt: And constantly gets yelled at by Ususama for it.
98	* PickyEater: Is rather passionate about good food and will bitch and whine if made to eat anything not tasting good enough.
99	* PrincelyYoungMan: Being peacock-themed, he is excellently dressed and designed like an aristocrat.
100	* ProudPeacock: A peacock deity with hefty pride and narcissism.
101	* SweetTooth: He likes sweets a lot and often asks other Buddhas for them.
102	* VitriolicBestBuds: Is either this or TheRival with Ususama; he criticizes the latter's sense of beauty and complains loudly if put in internal affairs with him, while Ususama is frequently annoyed by him, especially his feathers flying all over the place.

104	[[folder:68 – General Sanshi \| Sañci/Pāñcika (散脂大将)]]

108	'''Type:''' Deva (天)\
109	'''Element:''' Fire (火)\
110	'''Illustrated by:''' Hachipi Swan
111	A ''yakṣa'' warrior mentored by Tamonten, who shows more than adamant loyalty towards him.
112	----
113	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He's grateful toward Tamon for taking him in as a disciple, because of which he becomes the die-hard Tamon fanboy he now is.
114	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull[=/=]CallingYourAttacks: For spell ''Yakusha Ankokugeki''; the activating command is ''sink'' (''shizume'').
115	* CatchPhrase: Make a drinking game out of how many times he says "Tamon-sama" will get one seriously drunk at best.
116	* CompanionCube: In the Great Hall, he occasionally produces an ''omamori'' and happily snuggles up to it while claiming he's Tamon's best spearman. Story-wise, said ''omamori'' is a gift from Tamon which he keeps with him at all times as protection from his mentor [[spoiler:until he loses it after a battle.]]
117	* CrazyJealousGuy: Displays what seems to be this tendency regarding Tamon. If promoted to attendant, he'll comment that the ''dōmori'' is getting friendly with Tamon all while ''[[DissonantSerenity smiling unnervingly]]'', while most other Buddhas up to and including Tamon himself assure him there's no such thing.
118	* CuteMonsterGuy: He's a ''yakṣa'' who looks just like an attractive young human man and has no extra or non-humanoid features.
119	* DefrostingIceKing: His entire story is one of this to him; through his apprenticeship to Tamon and life in the temple, he learns to be less of a solitary jerkass and become more friendly and welcoming. [[spoiler:The end of his third Mandala Board story sees him, upon losing Tamon's ''omamori'', resolving to ''become'' an ''omamori'' himself to everyone.]]
120	* DissonantSerenity: Most infamously, he smiles ear-to-ear while ''accusing the dōmori of taking Tamon's attention away from him'', and his threatening attitude in his reply dialogue to Tamon (addressed to the ''dōmori'') is similarly matched with the same beaming expression.
121	* FanBoy: Of Tamon… were you surprised?
122	* FieryRedhead: Purplish red hair, generally gruff disposition, aggressive in battle, and has the Fire element.
123	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The fact [[spoiler:he's lost the ''omamori'' Tamon gave him in his third Mandala Board chapter]] doesn't stop him from [[spoiler:pulling it out and nuzzling it in the Great Hall afterwards. Or maybe he does end up getting it back after all.]]
124	* InsistentTerminology: He has "General" in his name, but he isn't part of the Twelve Heavenly Generals. He at least once makes himself clear about this.
125	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not a warm or friendly guy, but he fights for the temple's common cause of saving the world from ''kleśas'' and by the end of his story [[spoiler:resolves to be the protection charm for everyone he's close to.]]
126	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Despite being a capable fighter himself, he adores Tamonten greatly.
127	* LikeAGodToMe: The less said about how obsessed he is with Tamon, the better.
128	* OneNoteCook: Admits to only knowing how to make ''kenchin'' soup… which conveniently is what Tamon [[TrademarkFavoriteFood likes]].
129	* TheRival: Doesn't seem too fond of Rasetsu; even with his general disposition, his attitude towards Rasetsu seems more dismissive than most.
130	* SayMyName: The infamous recollection with Nanda. ''TAMONSAMATAMONSAMATAMONSAMA'' anyone?
131	* {{Tsundere}}: Even taking his character development in his story into account, he never really loses a generally gruff and cold attitude. Nevertheless, he occasionally shows pleasantness, even dorky tendencies, especially around Tamon.
132	* UndyingLoyalty: May as well be the ''all-time reigning champion'' of this trope in this game. He's devoted to "Tamon-sama" to the point of near masochism, he is protective of Tamon to the ''max'', declares more than once that he'll do anything for his mentor, and even displays signs of possessiveness towards him. However, he's like this towards Tamon and Tamon ''only''; he doesn't give a damn about [[LiteralSplitPersonality Bishamonten]].
133	* {{Yandere}}: Totally devoted to and unhealthily obsessed with Tamon, and can be a pain to deal with whenever he is concerned. Get friendly with Tamon and be treated to this guy's [[CrazyJealousGuy jealous and possessive tendencies]], and speak ill of or otherwise inconvenience him and be treated to his aggressive overprotectiveness.

142	----
143	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull[=/=]CallingYourAttacks: For spell ''Daijizai Kōbō''; the activating command is ''roar'' (''unare'').
144	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His mind certainly works in very weird ways.
145	* CollateralDamage: After spotting enemies while out for food, he immediately busts out one of his strongest attacks and destroys the restaurant, ''which has just reopened'', in the process. Made even worse when it's later revealed he's done this ''five times'' in a single month.
146	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Rasetsu (at first) finds him sexy and goes on what looks suspiciously like a date with him to study his behavior.
147	* MrFanservice: Handsome, well-dressed and coolly charming, with a fondness for "a man's interests"; his index description makes a big deal out of how dashing he is. Rasetsu at first wants to be like him, whom he considers "a mine of masculine sex appeal", until he finds out what a drag it is to be around him.
148	* NervesOfSteel: Gets caught up in trouble everywhere he goes, but never loses composure, even as it escalates (by his own doing).
149	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Given that he's the god of destruction, he hardly goes five seconds without getting something in his vicinity horribly destroyed.
150	* TheStoic: Unshakably calm, sometimes ''frighteningly'' so, even in the face of chaos and danger. It's this calmness that allows him to always find solutions, no matter how unorthodox, to every tight situation he ends up in, but said solutions are so unorthodox and often escalate the situation and unnerve whomever's with him even more that Rasetsu is straight-up afraid of him.
151	* VerbalTic: Has a habit of speaking, slowly, and pausing in the middle, of sentences.
152	* WalkingDisasterArea: As Rasetsu discovers the hard way, this guy is a trouble magnet, and his ways of getting himself out of said trouble can even cause ''more'' trouble.
153	-->'''Makeishura:''' To come back to one's senses only to always find oneself in chaos, such is me.

162	----
163	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Regarded as such by Kōmoku and Karura. Nitten is weirded out by his obsessive tendencies as well.
164	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: None of his objects of lust reciprocates his feelings: Kōmoku is weirded out by him, Karura hates him and Shaka is [[ObliviousToLove completely unaware]] of his utmost respect and devotion.
165	* AmbiguouslyGay: He shows no interest in women (likely because there are [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys little to no female characters in the cast]]) while pining for at least ''three'' men.
166	* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Due to his dragon ancestry, he's proud and full of himself to the ''extreme'', and sometimes brings up his powers and king status to demand reverence.
167	* CasualKink: Despite his normal arrogant behavior, he's actually quite masochistic and perverted.
168	* ConsumingPassion: He gets turned on by the prospect of being eaten by Karura, and constantly either fantasizes about it or begs Karura to eat him.
169	* CovertPervert: Usually insufferably vain and stuck-up, but occasionally lets his kinky side slip when it comes to Shaka, Kōmoku or Karura, and easily loses his composure and starts fantasizing when he gets his hots on, complete with ''moaning''.
170	* DepravedHomosexual: Can be quite blatant and off-putting about his attraction towards three other Buddhas, and is a StalkerWithACrush for one of them.
171	* {{Expy}}: Of predecessor games' [[VideoGame/ToukenRanbu Kikkō Sadamune]] and [[VideoGame/BungoToAlchemist Tanizaki Jun'ichirō]] due to his less-than-family-friendly interests and thus token masochistic pervert status.
172	* FanBoy: Of Shaka.
173	* HornedHumanoid
174	* TheImmodestOrgasm: He doesn't care who's listening when he gets his perv on. He also moans every time a DEF node on his Mandala Board is unlocked.
175	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Despite being a powerful dragon king, he has an object of admiration in Shaka Nyorai, raves about his achievements and has stalkerish tendencies towards him.
176	* MakingASplash: Being a dragon, he has the power to bring rain.
177	* SayMyName: The infamous recollection with Sanshi, to which he contributes ''SHAKANYORAISAMASHAKANYORAISAMASHAKANYORAISAMA''.
178	* StalkerWithACrush: Obsessed with Shaka in a not entirely clean and proper way, appoints himself his "guardian" and constantly watches him from a distance. If his words are to be believed, he's had this kind of obsession ''ever since seeing Shaka for the first time''.
179	* TooKinkyToTorture: Things that give him the hots go from being stepped on to being perpetually watched by magical all-seeing eyes to being ''eaten alive'', which should tell you what kind of person he is.
