| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * AmnesiacGod: In ''Strange Journey'', Amaterasu appears under the guise of Kinmamon in Sector Eridanus in the Schwarzwelt. She appears to be lost and confused, drawn to the powers of the land by her nature as a mother goddess. The Schwarzwelt's powers were trying to incorporate her into the group of the Demon Mothers, and she wound up talking senseless gibberish in a corner on Eridanus until the Protagonist, with the aid of Ame no Uzume and Futotama shone a magical mirror upon her, waking her up from her delusional dreams and allowing her to leave the dimension with her caretakers. |
| 97 | * CharacterFilibuster: After freeing the Shinto gods in II, Amaterasu proceeds to go on a fairly lengthy rant about how the vain, grasping "Hebrew gods" (literally Hebrew gods, straight from the Japanese script, not an invention of Aeon Genesis) tricked the Kunitsukami into locking the Amatsukami and then turned on the Kunitsukami themselves. To anyone from Abrahamic Religions, it comes across really uncomfortably. |
| 98 | * CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Susano-o uses his sword this way once his arms are cut off in ''Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Lone Marebito''. |
| 99 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Susano-o appears briefly in ''Devil Summoner'', haunting an old shrine and warns that [[SealedEvilInACan the seal is getting weaker]] before disappearing. |

| 105 | * HeroicBuild: Susano-o's Soul Hackers design is surprisingly ripped. |
| 106 | * HolyHalo: Susano-o has one in ''Megami Tensei II''. |
| 107 | %%* LightEmUp[=/=]PlayingWithFire: As a natural extension of Amaterasu's mastery of the powers of the sun. (Either choose one trope or separate into two bullets.) |
| 108 | * ThePowerOfHate: The rage [[spoiler:Honda feels about being unable to escape the lockdown and meet his son]] in Amane's 8th Day summons Susano-o. |
| 109 | * ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: The group speculates that, rather than ThePowerOfHate, he is actually summoned by his ability to sympathize with Honda who wished to see his loved one. Along with possibly the feelings of his son seeking to see his father.]] |

Likewise, Jiraiya will evolve into Susano-o once the Magician Social Link reaches Rank 10, making him the ultimate persona for Yosuke Hanamura. |
| 114 | ** In ''Persona 5,'' Goemon will evolve into Kamu Susano-o once the Emperor Confidant reaches Rank 10, making Susano-o (under an alternate name) the Ultimate Persona for Yusuke Kitagawa. |
| 115 | ** In ''Devil Survivor 2'', Amaterasu is a Unique demon that doesn't require a particular fusion combination to create. Instead, the player must achieve a Fate level of 5 with Otome Yanagiya before it is available. Once this has been achieved, it is unlocked for fusion on all subsequent runs as long as the player imports his/her save. Susano-o is also a Unique demon that must be unlocked by getting to Fate level 5, but with Keita Wakui instead. |
| 116 | * RuleOfSymbolism: In ''Strange Journey'', Amaterasu also comments she was drawn into the Schwarzwelt, with the feeling she was supposed to be one of the mothers. %%What is the symbolism? |
| 117 | * SealedGoodInACan: In ''II'', with the rest of the Shinto Gods. |
| 118 | * SideQuest: In ''IV,'' Futotama, found at the Meiji Shrine in Shinjuku, explains that Amaterasu was sealed away and asks that the player obtain the three imperial regalia from demon's domains around Tokyo to revive her. She bestows the Torifune's Shrawl upon resurrection. |

This fusion recipe is maintained across every other game in the franchise. |

| 247 | *** Vishnu appears as an optional boss in a room opposite that of Shiva's. To meet with Vishnu, the Embryon must first prove their worth to his avatar Narasimha and obtain his sword. Upon meeting the Seraph, Vishnu states that it has been a while since the dharma (righteousness) has vanished from people's hearts and been replaced by adharma (wickedness) as it has now. He claims that he must cleanse this impurity by destroying Seraph and the others, and the only way to change his mind is for them to show the strength of their dharma. In Vishnu's room is the bullet Pandemonium, the strongest in the game, and defeating him infuses the Nandaka with his power, unlocking the God of Light Mantra. |
| 248 | *** In order to fight Shiva, you need to get the Pinaka from Parvati. After that, he can be found on the 3f of the 6th layer, behind the door next to the restoration node before you fought Meganada. |
| 249 | ** ''Persona 2'': Sakya appears as a randomly appearing boss in the second door of the Abandoned Factory. Defeating him causes him to drop his Material Card, Buddha's Words, allowing him to be fused in the Velvet Room. |
| 250 | ** ''Devil Survivor 2'': On Saturday if one does not go down Daichi's route then they will face Shiva in the battle against [[spoiler:Hinako and Jungo]]. Shiva's level 76 when everyone else is about level 50, but fortunately you don't have to defeat him to proceed -- he'll leave once you've defeated [[spoiler:Hinako]]. |
| 251 | ** Shiva is an optional boss in ''Shin Megami Tensei V'', but with a level of 96, he far outclasses everything else the game has to offer barring the Demi-Fiend. He also summons souped-up versions of his fellow deities Kali, Ganesha, Parvati and Ananta, and their presence complicates the fight between their support skills. |

| 286 | |
| 287 | Cerberus is one amongst the earliest of demon allies to appear as part of the Megami Tensei franchise. His roots put him as far back as the very first [[Literature/DigitalDevilStory Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei]] publications. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * BraggingRightsReward: In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'', Cerberus first appears at the Burial Chamber in the Amala Labyrinth's First Kalpa, where it will challenge Demi-Fiend to prove his worth as a demon by quickly vanquishing once more those that he has once killed in the Vortex World using the Black Visor. After meeting all the requirements and starting a new cycle, meeting with Cerberus again in the same location will have him take Demi-Fiend to his master's resting place instead at the Tomb of Yomi in the hidden 666th floor, where Demi-Fiend will receive an extra Press Turn. |
| 290 | * CrutchCharacter: |
| 291 | ** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'': Because of Pascal's former loyalty towards his master passed on to him by the fusion, Kerberos can be used even when his level far surpasses that of the Hero--something that generally is impossible. He aids him in only one battle however, disappearing through a teleporter after a boss fight. He later rejoins in Tokyo Destiny Land provided you give him a Golden Apple. |
| 292 | ** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII'': Cerberus first joins you on the quest Madam gives you: Find and bring back Hanada. After the quest, he leaves the party. Later when Valhalla is swallowed by Abaddon, you will find him at the former entrance to the city from the underground passageway. He joins your party shortly after meeting him for the 2nd time. |
| 293 | ** In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIf'' there is a sidequest involving a computer disk that unlocks a Cerberus even if you're at the low low level of 20. You can probably most comfortably access the resolution of this quest between the dungeons of Sloth and Envy/Wrath[[note]]Before Sloth you're probably underlevelled, as long you're doing Sloth nobody is at the School/hub area for plot reasons, after Envy you only have anybody there as long you don't unlock the last dungeon for also plot reasons.[[/note]]. Well, Envy/Wrath starts with your main character losing their human partner for that dungeon. Don't you feel good having this mon 2-3 times your level just in case? |
| 294 | * FusionDance: In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'', Cerberus is created by fusing a demon with Pascal, the hero's dog. |
| 295 | * GetBackHereBoss: In a Challenge Quest from ''Shin Megami Tensei IV'' where he always flees after his Hell Horde takes a certain amount of damage. He fights for real after being chased down three times. |
| 296 | * HeelFaceTurn: The Cerberus from ''Tokyo Revelation'' was a demon sent to kill the Protagonist by Ose's dragon, Gagyson. The Monk who defeats him convinces him to protect the protagonist in the name of his master Hecate instead. |
| 297 | * TheHorde: Cerberus is leading a Hell Horde in ''Shin Megami Tensei IV'', which is made of [[PlayingWithFire Fire related beasts]]. |
| 298 | %%* HorseOfADifferentColor: Acts as Masakado's flying steed in ''Tokyo Revelation''. (Is Cerberus a horse in this game? A giant ant?) |
| 299 | * LegacyCharacter: Averted, the Cerberus that appears in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII'' is the same one that appeared in the first game. |
| 300 | * MultipleHeadCase: {{Averted}} for his original design as he has a single head. ''Soul Hacker'' depicts the similar design but with the three heads that he is most familiar with, as well as his design in ''Digital Devil Saga'' and ''Persona 3''. It is to reference the original novel that the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise was based on. |
| 301 | * MythologyGag: |
| 302 | ** The reason why Cerberus is usually portrayed with one head is not because of graphical limitations (somewhat) but because that's how he was portrayed in the original ''Literature/DigitalDevilStory'' novel. |
| 303 | ** Cerberus takes you to his master's grave in the land of Yomi in ''Nocturne''. This is a reference to Akemi Nakajima who is also the reincarnation of Izanagi. |
| 304 | * PlayingWithFire: He is primarily affiliated with Fire skills. |
| 305 | * TragicMonster: [[spoiler: in ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'', due to Lupa not eating flesh when needed to.]] |
| 306 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: He typically appears as a white dog with a lion-like mane, unlike the Cerberus of Greek mythology. However, his appearance in ''Soul Hackers'' (which is similar to his original design), the Atma Avatar of Lupa and Koromaru's Persona are three-headed. |

| 317 | * AttackReflector: Doppelgangers usually are resistant to physical skills of all kinds, usually being capable of reflecting all physicals attacks out-right.

| 368 | Jack Frost, sometimes commonly known as Jack, is the mascot of Atlus Co., Ltd. and he makes appearances in a number of Atlus games, primarily in the ''Megami Tensei'' series. Jack Frost's counterparts, also known his "brothers" are called Pyro Jack/Jack O'Lantern and Jack Ripper, along with many other varieties also appear in many games, some of which include [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Black Frost]], [[LargeAndInCharge King Frost]], [[VigilanteMan Frost Ace]], Lucifroz, [[SuperDeformed Mini Frost]], Strawberry Frost, Lemon Frost, Demonee-ho, etc... |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Humorously, Black Frost makes this claim if you use him in a fusion in ''Devil Survivor 2''. |
| 371 | * BerserkButton: |
| 372 | ** In ''Strange Journey'', do NOT call yourself a "hee-ho" around Jack Frost or Pyro Jack unless you want them to have a free turn. |
| 373 | *** In the same game, calling Pyro Jack a mascot is a ''very'' bad idea. |
| 374 | ** In ''Shin Megami Tensei IV'', call yourself the main character and he tells you about how his father said to kill the main character. Free enemy turns ensue.[[note]]Ironically, he has the opposite attitude in ''Strange Journey'', where he joins your party upon his mascot status being pointed out because he doesn't want bad things happening to the main character.[[/note]] |
| 375 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Unlike a regular Frost and despite his appearance, King Frost is ruthless and his power unyielding. He is not friendly and likes to exercise his status as a king to even go so far as to consider his summoners as his subjects as well. |
| 376 | * BreakoutMookCharacter: |
| 377 | ** Jack Frost is the protagonist in ''Jack Bros.''. He, along with Pyro Jack and Jack the Ripper, have to make it back to the Makai world before midnight. |
| 378 | ** He also appeared in the ''Print Club'' series of sticker photo booths (also known as "purikura" in Japan). The software for the machines was developed by Creator/{{Atlus}}, and the hardware for the machines was developed by Creator/{{Sega}} (who also published the machines). |
| 379 | ** Jack Frost returns as the star of ''Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue'', a side story to the ''Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey'' remake. |
| 380 | %%* BrokenPedestal: PlayedForLaughs with Raiho. |
| 381 | * CharClone: Frost Ace is a Jack Frost who put on a mask in order to avenge... something. His outfit's design is based off of Char's, and the "Ace" in his name comes from this reference, as he's never actually shown piloting anything. |
| 382 | * CuteLittleFangs: Suitable for a mascot, they've got adorable little fangs. |
| 383 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Demonee-ho in ''SMTIV''. He barks commands at the player, and calls him a maggot. He even mentions how he'll [[Film/FullMetalJacket unscrew Flynn's head and]] [[UnusualEuphemism hee-ho]] [[ShoutOut down his neck.]] Makes sense, as he is wearing a military uniform. |
| 384 | * DubNameChange: Because of space limitations, what was originally Jack Lantern became Pyro Jack outside of Japan. Jack Ripper was likewise changed to Jack Skelton in the English release of ''Jack Bros.'', though that may have been to remove connections to a real-life serial killer in a kids' game. |
| 385 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Jack Frost in ''Megami Tensei II'' and its touched-up SNES port bares little resemblance to the Jack Frost we know and love today. Namely, he looked like a traditional snowman, wore a red hat and shoes, a scarf, and carried an umbrella. |

| 393 | * InItsHourOfNeed: Lucifer Frost will come to Dem/Makai Ice's aid in its hour of need. |
| 394 | * JustInTime: Lampshaded in ''Strange Journey'' with Demonee-Ho. His compendium info even says "True heroes always show up late". |
| 395 | * LargeAndInCharge: King Frost is regarded as the KingMook among the Frosts, and is always depicted much larger than his subjects. |
| 396 | * LegacyCharacter: Raiho wishes to be Raidou the Fifteenth. |
| 397 | * MascotMook: Jack Frost is the SeriesMascot of ''Shin Megami Tensei'' as a whole. |
| 398 | * MediumAwareness: Tends to be aware that he's the SeriesMascot. In ''Strange Journey'', pointing this out not only makes him very happy, but also gets him to join your party, no further questions asked. Doing the same with Pyro Jack, on the other hand, [[BerserkButton makes him rather angry]]. |
| 399 | * OptionalBoss: |
| 400 | ** Raiho is an optional Boss fight in both ''Soulless Army'' and ''King Abaddon''. He can only be faced in New Game Plus in ''Soulless Army'' and a case file on the first playthrough onwards in ''King Abaddon''. He also summons demons to help him. |
| 401 | ** Throughout ''Digital Devil Saga 2'', a Jack Frost may enter a battle and ask a series of questions. Answer 100 correctly throughout the game and you'll have the opportunity to fight said Jack Frost in the final dungeon. |
| 402 | * OptionalPartyMember: In ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'', Black Frost first appears as a Jack Frost in an event with Midori on day 3 in which he learns about the power of love. He is later seen on day 6 defending a group of low level demons from humans. Should the party choose to help him, he will automatically join on Day 7 on Naoya's, Kaido's, and Gin's routes. |
| 403 | * OurAngelsAreDifferent: In ''Devil Children/Demikids'' and in the 3DS version of ''Soul Hackers'' games there's Lucifroz, a Jack Frost based on Lucifer who belongs to the Herald clan. |
| 404 | * OurFairiesAreDifferent: Barring a few exceptions, Jack Frost and Pyro Jack are members of the Fairy races in most of the games. On the other hand, Demonee-ho debuted in ''Strange Journey'' as a Fairy race demon and has been consistenty been there ever since. |
| 405 | * OutOfFocus: Poor old Jack Ripper doesn't get nearly as many chances to shine as his brothers, having been largely absent from the series after his stint in ''Jack Bros.''. He finally returned in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' and got to appear in a few more games since, but he is still not nearly as much of a series mainstay as Frost or Pyro, especially when it comes to spin-off entries. |
| 406 | * PopQuiz: Jack Frost is a random encounter mini-game in ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga 2'' as the player progresses and an optional boss. Jack asks 20 questions per battle, stopping only when the player answers wrong or correctly answers all questions for the round. Should the player correctly answer all 100 questions they win a certificate for answering the 100th question correctly, and a set of Stat-increasing Data. Players will also have the opportunity to fight Jack Frost should all questions are answered correctly in the final dungeon, the third layer of the Sun. Defeating him nets the Pass Ring, and Magatama ammo. Should all answers have been correctly answered, every time the party encounters Jack Frost, he may give the player random items before running away. |

| 408 | * {{Sentai}}: Five different flavored Jack Frosts create their own Senshi clan. [[spoiler: They can also be made into a single demon where all five count as one. With repel all on all stats.]] |
| 409 | * SignatureMove: |
| 410 | ** In ''II'' and ''Apocalypse'', King Frost has Ice Bound and King Bufula respectively, a stronger version of Mabufula. The former simply does more damage (-dyne spells didn't exist yet), while the latter also lowers defense while smirking. Ice Bound is also notable for being the first example of a SignatureMove in not just ''II'', but the entire franchise. |
| 411 | ** In ''Strange Journey'' and ''IV'', King Frost has the unique skill Cold World, essentially Mabufudyne with an additional 15% chance to OneHitKill. |
| 412 | %%* {{Snowlems}}: The whole lot of 'em. |
| 413 | * SummonMagic: Raiho is able to summon Jacks in the ''Soulless Army'' and has improved enough to summon demons like ''Mahakala'' despite being at a lower level than him in ''King Abaddon''. |
| 414 | * SuperEmpowering: [[spoiler:Lucifer empowers a Jack Frost and turns him into Lucifer Frost to aid him against Beelzebub in the ''Devil Children'' anime.]] |

If Demi-Fiend revisits the facility and runs into Black Frost, the latter will force Demi-Fiend to battle him to test out his new powers as the new Great Emperor. He will revert to a normal Jack Frost upon his defeat, and eventually melt. He later returns to join the group if Demi-Fiend visits the Third Kalpa of the Labyrinth of Amala. |

Later, the same Pixie will evolve to High Pixie and begin issuing requests to bring Fairy demons to her so she can create a land for Fairies.

The son of the god Lugh and Deichtine, sister of the king of Ulster, he was originally named Setanta, but gained his better-known name as a child after he killed Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defense, and offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared. |

The trail for him leads first to Sector Bootes, where an Orthrus will indicate he has moved to Sector Antlia to offer support to his old teacher Scathach. Meeting with Scathach will reveal Cu Chulainn has heard of the search and is moving to meet the protagonist. Near the entrance to Sector Antlia, Cu Chulainn will be found with Enemy Search. He will leave for Sector Carina to meet with his mother; once met there, he will reward the protagonist by unlocking Cu Chulainn fusion, giving him Gae Bolg, his spear, and giving him the Knight's Oath, which contains a Demonica code to summon him. |
| 593 | ** In ''IV'', Scathach's gotten tired of trying to control his bloodlust, so she transforms him back into Setanta and has Flynn duel him so he can realize how counterproductive it is for him. After a beatdown, he's allowed to regain his full form and his Special Fusion is unlocked. |

| 637 | * ProHumanTranshuman: He clearly has become something more than human by this point and he generally believes that humans should not need to rely on gods and therefore represents a [[{{Ubermensch}} humanistic Neutral view that rejected the esoteric, supernatural outcomes of Law and Chaos]]. This is apparently based on the real Stephen Hawking on how he doesn't reject gods, but rather view them as unnecessary. |
| 638 | * RecurringExtra: Through the main series ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games, with the exception of ''Nocturne.'' |
| 639 | * RestrainingBolt: Turns out, [[spoiler:his ''wheelchair'' serves as this. When you face him as an OptionalBoss in the [=DLC=] of ''Apocalypse'', standing up from it makes him just as powerful, if not more so than ''[[{{God}} YHVH]]! '']] |
| 640 | * SharpDressedMan: |
| 641 | ** Is never seen without his trademark bright red suit. [[spoiler:Unless he appears as Dr. Matsuda.]] |
| 642 | ** [[spoiler:Given what happens with him in IV: Apocalypse's Diamond Realm DLC, this also counts as BadassInANiceSuit.]] |
| 643 | * {{Superboss}}: [[spoiler:''Apocalypse'' finally lets you fight him through DLC. He has apparently grown so powerful that an alliance between the Hero, Aleph, the Demi-fiend, Flynn, and Nanashi is required to beat him]]. |
| 644 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:Fighting against him as the [[{{Superboss}} ultimate boss]] of ''IV: Apocalypse'' makes this much more obvious, as it takes ''all five'' mainline ''SMT'' protagonists to ''merely'' prove their strength and resolve against him in battle. It is especially telling how powerful he has become, given how he shares many moves and even a {{Leitmotif}} with [[{{God}} YHVH]].]] |

| 646 | * VocalDissonance: Always speaks in a soft, calm tone, and occasionally is even a TerseTalker. [[spoiler:It becomes very disturbing to [[GoodIsNotNice hear what]] [[ApologeticAttacker he says]] in this tone in the darker parts of ''IV: Apocalypse''.]] |

| 649 | [[folder:Masakado]] |
| 650 | !!Taira No Masakado |
| 651 | A feudal Japanese warlord, one of the few true historical figures in the series. Masakado was a samurai during the Heian period and hatched a plan to conquer most of the Kanto region. While he was slain, his influence was so strong his head was sent to Kyoto and later Edo, where it was set in a special shrine. To this day he is considered a demigod of sorts, and it is said condition of his shrine dictates the city's fortune. Due to his fervant loyalty to his country and faith in humanity in general, he is widely considered to be the closest thing the series has to a Neutral representative. |
| 652 | ---- |
| 653 | * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Not in game, but historically. From rebel samurai to protector deity of Tokyo, not bad at all. |
| 654 | * BadassNormal: How else could a samurai lead the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Four Heavenly Kings]]? |
| 655 | * BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: He must reside in balance and should either one overcome the other inside him he will go berserk. [[spoiler: The bad luck and misfortune in the capital in ''Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon'' allowed his rage to possess his body, leaving his rational half to leave his body to find Raidou Kuzunoha. In ''Shin Megami Tensei IV'' his balance going out of whack leads to the final DLC battle against him in order to calm him down.]] |
| 656 | * BigDamnHeroes: If Masakado is restored in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII'', he will help in banishing the guards around Castle Kether in the Neutral Alignment. |
| 657 | * CameBackWrong: When you resurrect him in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII'', he will be nothing but an animated corpse until Hiruko gives you the final part needed - Masakado's soul. |
| 658 | * ContinuityNod: To summon him, an item known as ''Masakados'' is almost always needed. |
| 659 | * EmotionEater: A rare semi-heroic example on the Neutral Path of ''IV''. He devours the emotions of Hope, Goodwill, and Spite in order to regain his strength. |
| 660 | * EvilMakesYouUgly: His anger possessing his body in ''Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon'' turns him into the bald form he had when he CameBackWrong in ''II''. |
| 661 | * GodInHumanForm: The protagonist from the OVA ''Tokyo Revelation'' is the reincarnation of Masakado. |
| 662 | * GottaCatchEmAll: |
| 663 | ** In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII'', his servant, Hiruko, will reveal Masakado was slain some time earlier. So he asks Aleph to gather the pieces of his corpse so he can be brought back to life. |
| 664 | ** In VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne, should the Demi-fiend gather all twenty-four Magatama, the priest at the Cathedral of Shadows will give him the Lord's Blade, allowing him to reach the Bandou Shrine and confront the Four Heavenly Kings, his servants, for the right of a single conversation with Masakado. |
| 665 | ** When awakened in ''IV'''s Neutral Path, he's lost access to his physical form that became the dome and thus the source of most of his powers. So he must devour the three Great Spirits as a substitute so he can remove the Firmament above Tokyo to restore everything to normal. He needs Flynn to recreate the Great Spirit of Hope by taking on missions to restore Tokyo's citizens' hope, and to retake the Great Spirits of Goodwill and Spite by taking them from the entities who have absorbed them - Merkabah and Lucifer, after they interfere with his first attempt to remove the firmament when he devoured the Great Spirit of Hope. |
| 666 | * GuardianEntity: For Tokyo. He's had his ups and his downs. |
| 667 | * InfinityPlusOneSword: If he appears as a fusable demon or his name appears on a piece of equipment, you can damn well bet that there will be some difficult requirements and a lot of power attached: |
| 668 | ** In ''Videogame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'', Masakado's Katana can only be found on a Neutral run after you've gained access to the [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Great Cathedral]] and defeated the Four Heavenly Kings. |
| 669 | ** In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'', Masakados is the strongest Magatama in the game, providing +10 to all non-Luck stats (in a game where the maximum value for non-HP, non-MP stats is 40) and nullifies or repels everything that isn't Almighty. You need to collect all 24 other Magatamas to be eligible to get it. |
| 670 | ** In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', Masakado joins you if you take the Neutral route, but he's pretty so-so as a combatant, subverting this trope. Double subverted when you unlock Masakado's ''Shadow'' as a reward for defeating him in his brutally hard DLC {{Superboss}} fight, as he gains some extremely powerful abilities, such as one that not only does Almighty damage but ''constitutes a weakness hit'', resulting in extra turns and a possible Smirk for him no matter who it hits. |
| 671 | %%* MythologyGag |
| 672 | * OurGiantsAreBigger: His [[spoiler: full powered form is a giant made of the earth.]] |
| 673 | * PatrioticFervor: Patriotism is good. A God who has unyielding loyalty to Tokyo, followed by loyalty to the nation and its people. |
| 674 | * PhysicalGod: |
| 675 | ** The level needed to fuse him is almost always very high. And it shows. In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'', for instance, he nulls instant death spells and is strong against literally everything except piercing. |
| 676 | ** And the Magatama bearing his name nulls everything except Almighty attacks and imparts priceless augmentations in Nocturne. Given he is the protector of Tokyo, and Tokyo at the time ''is'' the Universe... |
| 677 | * PowerDyesYourHair: His reincarnations hair turns blonde when he awakens from inside his reincarnation. |
| 678 | * {{Superboss}}: |
| 679 | ** One of the two ultimate bosses of the game alongside Lucifer in ''Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon''. He can only be fought on NewGamePlus, 99% completion of all case file at least once which requires beating the chaos route and facing the NewGamePlus ones given by Lucifer, and talking to a man outside the Narumi Detective Agency to get the case file. He can be found on the 999th floor of the confinement chamber and will be joined by an "imposter" Masakados who acts as a Mag Drain Battery but are not infinite in number. After bringing his HP down to zero Raidou must negotiate with him to end the battle. The reward for beating him is the material needed for the ultimate sword Masakados and the ability to fuse Masakados. |
| 680 | ** In ''IV'''s final DLC quest he goes berserk as an ICBM is looming in the horizon over Tokyo. He wanted to cover the entire city with his body, but lost control of his power and had to be woken. He, quite simply, requires the Pierce DLC skills, as he flat-out ''[[NoSell drains everything]]''. Except Light, Dark and Almighty. Light and Dark he nulls, and Almighty is a complete joke against him. To add insult to injury, he wastes many of his six turns in moves that don't do anything like Move Slowly, Aim Carefully, Clench Fist and Prayer. Then he breaks out Curse Thy Enemy and Guardian's Eye. He has double the amount of raw HP of one Lucifer's forms or ''more than four times'' the HP of Merkabah's first form and almost three times as his second form. Oh, ''and you only have ten turns to defeat him''. |
| 681 | * TakeUpMySword: |
| 682 | ** Literally in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'', in the Neutral Path. |
| 683 | ** In ''Nocturne'', he manifests in the Bandou Shrine, and he's depressed, with good reason. He has to see Tokyo, the city he was bound to defend, utterly destroyed to create the Vortex World, its inhabitants dead and demons infesting it. Then the Demi-Fiend arrives, and since Masakado cannot exist outside the shrine due to the laws of the Vortex World, he gives the boy the Magatama holding his power, telling him that whatever has happened to Tokyo, it's still Tokyo, and since he cannot continue in his duty, to please restore the world... |
| 684 | * UndyingLoyalty: Regardless of whether he's Chaos or Neutral, Masakado will always be loyal to Tokyo itself. |
