* CultClassic: Unlike the universally acclaimed ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', ''God Hand'' was initially tainted by the infamously bad IGN review that made it fade into obscurity soon after. Even so, or rather because of it, the game received a dedicated fanbase that loved its deep mechanics allowing tons of customization and surreal, off-the-wall humor that doesn't take itself too seriously and is delightfully tongue-in-cheek. Nowadays, while the game is still relatively unknown when compared to other games from the same era, it's mostly fondly remembered as one of the few great 3D beat 'em ups of its generation.

** [[SatanicArchetype Demon King Angra]]--{{SATAN}} in Japan--is the ruler of all demons, and the true leader of the Four Devas. Originally a FallenAngel cast down to Hell for his pride, Angra sought revenge against the humans who he felt betrayed him, forming a demon army to enslave mankind. Eventually defeated by the man with the [[PowerOfTheGodHand God Hands]] and sealed away, Angra allowed the Four Devas to send their demons out to murder and enslave countless humans in their plan to revive him. Hiding in Azel's Devil Hand, Angra [[UngratefulBastard betrays his loyal follower]] to be the sacrifice needed for his revival, hoping to destroy the God Hands and rule over humanity.
** [[LesCollaborateurs Azel]] is a human who desires the God Hands for their power. Originally a member of the clan tasked to protect the God Hands, Azel slaughtered his entire clan to claim one of the God Hands for himself. [[FaceHeelTurn Selling out humanity]] by joining the Four Devas, Azel isn't afraid to [[BadBoss kill his own minions]] or [[SocialDarwinist mock those he deems weak]] as he assists the group in Angra's revival. Kidnapping his fiancée Olivia to be used as Angra's sacrificial vessel, Azel also uses her as bait to lure in [[PlayerCharacter Gene]], hoping to kill him and take his God Hand for himself.
