!The Demon Lord and his forces

[[folder:In general]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Demon lord '''Unmarked Spoilers''']]
The Demon Lord, who will awaken and destroy the world.
----
* BigBad: Of the game as a whole.
* BigWhat: His response to being informed that, despite being the leader of the heroes' party, the protagonist is a mere level 1 hero.
* BringIt: Regularly encourages opponents that were already planning to fight him, although this comes with the knowledge that if he loses he'll just ascend to a more powerful form. He even says the trope title literally to the Royal Knights.
* CameBackStrong: Thanks to the Curse of the Immortal, every time he gets killed by an inexact amount of damage, he comes back in a significantly stronger form.
-> Ooohh! I can feel 10 times more power than before. Not a bad feeling at all.
* DemonicPossession: Possesses Sakura Miko.
* DemonLordsAndArchdevils: Naturally.
* DyingCurse: How dare you?
* EnemySummoner: Summons a bunch of demons, including two Back Knights, in the finale to fight for him.
-> Hmph! Do you think you're the only one who can summon reinforcements?
* EvilGloating: Does this constantly, especially when confronted by the heroes.
* EvilIsHammy: Absolutely drips hamsauce with every one of his lines.
* FinalBoss: The final enemy faced in the game.
* FlunkyBoss: In his first true form, he summons two Black Knights that fight on his side.
* LaughingMad: After the Knights make him achieve his third form, he does this right after thanking them.
* LOL69: Possibly unintentional, but defeating his first true form gives the party 69000 EXP. Not that it helps them in any way, since it's the last time the fight anything in the game.
* MetaTwist: While many players may think that his SequentialBoss nature follows the standard "defeat each form till the last" nature the heroes assume, in truth it's him becoming stronger every time he's killed.
* OmnicidalManiac: Plans to destroy the world.
* PhysicalGod: According to him, a fourth form of him, which he outright calls godhood, would have been unstoppable by anything in the world, which would have allowed him to lay waste to it with ease.
* SequentialBoss: First you must face him while he's possessing Sakura Miko, then you must do so in his true form. After beating him, he'll ascend to his second form, at which point the Knights will take over. After that, he ascends to his third form, which is nigh unbeatable. As a bit of a subversion of the concept of boss forms, it turns out this does not happen because he gets beaten but rather because it has to occur with exact numbers.
* SmugSuper: He's ''very'' smug, openly mocking his enemies's attempts to oppose him. This is already blatant when in his true form, where his dialogue more than compensates for his lack of a recognizable facial expression, but is seen most prominently when possessing Sakura Miko, making her reach the very limits of how smug an anime-style {{Retraux}} computer drawing can smile. He is also extremely powerful, requiring nothing less than trickery, unholy food, the world's most powerful heroes working together and sheer luck to beat.
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** In his second form, he accuses the Royal Knights of this. Turns out he's the one doing this, as they beat him in four moves total without him even having the chance of doing anything.
** Inverted towards the protagonist, who he wrongfully assumes follows AuthorityEqualsAsskicking and therefore shouldn't be able to deal the exact amount of damage needed to kill him for good.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: While most of the game is a lighthearted AffectionateParody of both ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}'' and the EasternRPG genre, Leviathan the Demon Lord is a powerful demon that not only [[DemonicPossession possesses Miko's body]] who uses her as a HumanShield, but also is a spiteful jerk that wants to TakeOverTheWorld and regularly insults the heroes in his EvilGloating.
* VillainousBreakdown: When he realizes the protagonist's going to end him for good, he ''immediately'' drops his SmugSuper behavior and starts begging for a timeout.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Assumes the protagonist must be too strong since they're the leader of the heroes' party. In truth, they're a SupportingLeader perpetually stuck at level 1.
* ZeroEffortBoss: In his third form, he only has 6 hit points left. The dice in the fight are scripted so that the first one will always allow the protagonist to attack with their 6 damage attack]].
