Background

The Demi-fiend (人修羅, "Hitoshura") is the protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Through the tradition of the series, he is a silent protagonist, where his personality is based upon players' actions and decisions. At the beginning of the game, the Demi-fiend is a blank slate, being unsure of the role he is to play in the world that is to come; creator or destroyer, master or servant. This is most clearly seen when Kagutsuchi scans his heart at the moment of the Conception. The divine being finds nothing there, no defined ideas or motives, and decides he needs to find his own ideology and Reason in the Vortex World.

During the game, his personality develops further depending on the choices of the player, molding him into a follower of either Reason or a person who rejects all of them, either through weakness, a true desire to see the world reborn, or an honest wish to end the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. The definitive moment is when Kagutsuchi, at the entrance of the Tower of Kagutsuchi, again scans his heart and determines what lies within.

Through the player's choices throughout the game, the Demi-fiend's personality can be developed further, revealing character flaws and strengths, changing others' viewpoints of him and affecting the possible ending, redefining the laws of reality and creating a new world.

He may support the Reason of Musubi, the belief of solitude and individualism. In this new universe, every individual would live in their own independent world, shaped from their mind to be their personal paradise, though fully separate from all other living beings. He may support the Reason of Shijima, based on stillness and oneness, and the suppression of human desires. It is a world of perfect harmony, without passion, conflict and destruction, and finally fully devoid of individuality. Or he could support the Reason of Yosuga, formed from elitism and the survival of the fittest. In this world, those who are weak are undeserving of life, while only the strong may become rulers, and power is the most important thing there is. It is a world of paranoia, fear and carnage.

However, the Demi-fiend may choose to reject all said reasons and follow his own path. In the Demon Path, he will lack the Reason to create a new world, and instead chooses to forego the process of creation, leave the Vortex World as the barren, desolate land populated solely by demons that it is. Through the Freedom Path, the Demi-fiend may revert the world to how it was before, and every human being killed by the Conception is reincarnated, though as explained by Kagutsuchi, the world of men is one of chaos, suffering and without future.

Finally, the Demi-fiend may walk the True Demon Path, rejecting all Reasons and freeing himself from the last vestiges of his humanity. Becoming a complete demon of Darkness, allying himself with Lucifer, he kills Kagutsuchi, ending the cycle of Death & Rebirth, the Amala Universe and the concept of time itself. He and Lucifer then march onward, leading all demonkind in the final battle against God himself.

General Information

Name: The Demi-fiend / Hitoshura, The Demonic Man, The Chaos King, Naoki Kashima (Drama CD name), Shin Managi (Nocturne Konton name)

Origin: Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

Sex: Male

Age: 16-17

Classification: Formerly Human. Half-Demon, Messiah, later becomes a full-on Demon should he take The True Demon Path. Devil Summoner, "King Of Chaos"

Status: Alive in all other endings. Other during the True Demon Ending (Was cursed by YHVH to live for all eternity, in which Demi-fiend is neither alive or dead, something he himself hinted at when he is defeated in Digital Devil Saga, and is further noted by Satan within Digital Devil Saga 2)

Alignment: True Neutral initially (From what is known in the main series, the Demi-fiend is someone of very little personality or background surrounding him; shedding no emotion when his best friend, Isamu, was knocked away by Thor and instead waited until the last second to confront him when he had every opportunity to take him down. Kagutsuschi even described him as having nothing stirring within him, "Not even a hint of Reason" despite being a chosen messiah. Even when the Multiverse was reworked into the Vortex World and had his humanity stripped away from him, there was barely any reaction from him other than hints of confusion. Even so, Demi-fiend's heart is not of Good or Evil in spite of his demonic nature, as he was willing enough to cooperate with Jyoji Hijiri due to his naive and trusting nature; a trait that would later go on to be used by many others in the franchise, serving as a main flaw for the Demi-fiend. During the game, his personality develops further depending on the choices of the player, molding him into a follower of three Reasons or a person who rejects all of them, either through weakness, a true desire to see the world reborn, or an honest wish to end the eternal cycle of death and rebirth), Chaotic Good in the Drama CD (Now given the name "Naoki Kashima", he's shown to be an upstanding, independent person who does not tolerate bullies and despises the weak that cannot walk on their own. He believes that a person should stand on their own feet to create their own destiny), Neutral Good should he follow the Freedom Path (If his connection to the old world is strong enough, the protagonist can opt to turn Tokyo back to how it was before, provided that he does not fully support any one of the Reasons nor succumb to his demonic side. In the Freedom path, the protagonist faces a furious Kagutsuchi who accuses him of being seduced by freedom, similar to how the fallen angel was before. After the protagonist proves his strength in the end, a dying Kagutsuchi laments how absurd it is that his power would be used not to create a new world, but to revert it to its original state as a world of suffering), Chaotic Neutral should he follow the True Demon Path (In the Maniacs version, the Demi-fiend can choose to ignore all of the Reasons and Alignments altogether. To do so, the Demi-fiend must accept and fulfill the old man's request of retrieving all the Candelabra and venture into the deepest area of the Labyrinth of Amala. God would soon fear the Demi-fiend's vast capabilities and Lucifer's influence towards him. At the entrance to the Second Kalpa, Metatron will relay God's warning to the Demi-fiend to stop meeting up with the dark angel. Regardless of his answer, the Demi-fiend can still opt to go into the Labyrinth. Should the Demi-fiend prevail against Metatron and manage to reach the deepest area of the Fifth Kalpa to meet up with the old man, the lady in black will express gratitude towards the Demi-fiend's efforts. For the sake of the demon race, the Demi-fiend has willingly thrown away the last vestiges of his humanity to become an agent of chaos, completely allying himself with the 'dark angel' in the battle against the absolute one. She also tells the Demi-fiend that he will soon be reborn, this time as a True Demon. But before he is totally accepted into the fold, the Demi-fiend must prove his worth by thwarting the respective ambitions of the three holders of Reason, as well as the main obstacle in the form of Kagutsuchi itself. After the Demi-fiend receives a surge of demonic powers from the old man, the platform he was standing on sinks into the red waters. The old man looks at him and smiles, having succeeded in his plans of indirectly creating the strongest demon among demons. The Demi-fiend awakens once more in the Shinjuku Medical Center morgue, and finds that the very first Magatama he ingested has a new power which will allow his physical attacks to bypass most kinds of protection, a fearsome ability befitting his new identity. As a True Demon, Demi-fiend can no longer accept the influences of all the other Reasons, as he is now set on the deviant path as a servant of darkness. The 'True Demon' Path ends with the Demi-fiend killing Kagutsuchi, freeing all the worlds from the control of the Great Will in the process. With the concept of time now dead and the cycle of creation put to a complete halt, the universe totally collapses and everything is thrust into darkness. Lucifer will then reveal that he has been watching the Demi-fiend all this time in the guise of both the young child and the old man. While he is pleased with the results, it remains to be seen if the Demi-fiend is ultimately capable of leading the way to vanquish the true enemy. Lucifer assumes his real form as the fallen angel and thrusts the Demi-fiend into battle to measure the true limits of his dark power. Emerging victorious, the Demi-fiend becomes the secret weapon who will tip the balance of Light and Darkness, champion of the legions of chaos in the final battle against the Great Will. In his brief appearance in the Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse DLC, the Demi-fiend is slightly impatient and imposing, as well as having a lust for battle to a certain degree, evident by his desire for a rematch with Lucifer)

Dimensionality: 3-D in his physical form, Devoid in his true state of existence (Was given the body of a demon by the hands of Lucifer. Demons embody the phenomena and beliefs of humans, with their physical forms only being created due to humanity's observation locking them into these forms, and their true forms existing as the phenomena and beliefs they reside in. Demons only have "forms" due to the observation of humanity with even some demons being in the lowest form of humanity's observation making them unseeable without help, the "true forms" of demons are in truth without the concept of form, without observation they are not certain nor stable, are a phenomena without an answer and are unbound by concepts such as truth completely unshaped by reality. Demons under their observation forms embody concepts such as infinity which they are free from in their true forms) | 3-D in his physical form, Devoid in his true state of existence | 3-D in his physical form, Devoid in his true state of existence | 3-D in his physical form, Devoid as a true demon (Obtained the heart of a demon once locked in this ending)

Attack Potency: Small Building level physically (As a messiah, he should possess similar strength to The Hero. With the Magatamas Wadatsumi and Shiranui equipped, Demi-fiend has access to skills such as Ice Breath and Fire Breath, which are similar to skills such as Agi skills, which can vaporize humans, which result in this level of energy. Also has skills similar to Bufu, which can completely freeze opponents, which is this powerful) to Universe level (Fought and defeated the Fiend Matador, who created and sustains his own realm. Defeated Thor early on in his adventure, who is described as the mightiest of the Norse gods and is superior to Loki, who holds an entire universe as an extension of himself. Should be superior to Morax, who created and rules over his own realm and controlled the sector, being noted to be the energy source they were looking for, said energy source is noted to control the entire sector, and be linked to the sector like a magnet. Each sector is a space-time plane layered atop each other, being planes outside of the human worlds local space-time existing in a quantum tunnel, along with being noted as parallel universes and other dimensions overlapping being isolated in time and space by enormous power being connected by quantum tunnels. Should be comparable to the past messiahs), Far Higher with Observation (Observation can be used to massively amplify one's stats, such as when the early game Shin Megami Tensei 1 protagonist was amplified to be able to fight with all the other end game protagonists and fight Stephen) & Willpower (A characters willpower in SMT allows them to increase greatly in strength allowing them to harm enemies they couldn't even scratch before and survive attacks that would have originally kill them, the will of one's friends and allies around them can invigorate one to become far more powerful then before) | Universe level (Significantly stronger than before. Successfully defeated Black Frost), Far Higher with Observation & Willpower | Simple Hierarchal Multiverse level (Succeeded in annihilating the Archangels Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel all at once, who are all among YHVH's highest ranking army. Fought and harmed Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV in combat, forcing him to go all out at the end of his boss fight before Gouto intervened. Impressed Gouto enough for Demi-fiend to be considered among the Kuzunoha clan. Able to take on and defeat Reason bearers such as Baal's Avatar, Noah, and Ahriman, a demon who appears as a high level end game demon in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. Can destroy and absorb Kagutsuchi's powers, who created and sustains the Vortex world, which was resulted from him erasing the past, present and future of the universe, in order to construct the Vortex World in its foundations. Kagutsuchi exists as the light that encompasses and administers all of creation within the Amala universe that is said to contain countless worlds along with being the source to creation with his defeat causing the destruction of the Amala universe. Merged the Demon World and the Divine World into the remnants of the human realm to create the Vortex World; the Demon World, best known as the Expanse, is a higher plane of existence that transcends past, present, and future of the multiverse. With the power of Kagutsuchi, Demi-fiend can shape the world based on his philosophical views on reality), Far Higher with Observation & Willpower | Simple Hierarchal Multiverse level (By rejecting all reason, Demi-fiend has become an agent of chaos; a demon of darkness that YHVH would soon fear due to his vast capabilities, causing him to send Metatron to relay his warning to cut any ties with Lucifer. Trihumped against all the fiends and warriors of light that he came across throughout his journey, and by doing so, received a portion of Lucifer's powers that unlocked his hidden potential. Eliminated all the Reason bearers and Kagutsuchi himself before ultimately defeating a serious Lucifer, proving to him that he possessed the strength to take on The Great Will. Destroying Kagutsuchi left the world in a void where "creation is no longer possible", elimanating the of cycle of death and rebirth, in which it previously maintained the flow of time, and thus "time has met her death". Though as noted by Satan in Digital Devil Saga 2 Demi-fiend was defeated by him. . His solar data fought against the cast of Digital Devil Saga 1 but decisively lost. Contended with the Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE protagonist, though very likely held back), Far Higher with Observation & Willpower

Can affect beings such as YHVH through their observation. YHVH is the progenitor of all gods and all religions from all around the world, existing as the one true original god. Turned all other gods in the pantheon into demons. He is viewed as an omnipotent existence that created everything A single manifestation head is so far beyond all of creation that not even his creations blades can harm him. YHVH is a being who created infinite universes, and exists beyond the very boundaries of time within the multiverse.

The true form views the multiverse and his manifestation head are infinitesimal in size compared to him, and he exists as an incomprehensible transcendent being overseeing everything in his creation. His universe is a place beyond reality that is more vague and more infinite then anything the cast has seen before which includes areas such as the expanse and Akrana Corridor, and his single manifestation head. Along with this, humans observation has the potential to exceed The Axiom, who exists in a realm beyond every other realm prior)

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Despite his naive demeanor, he is no slouch in intelligence as Lucifer specifically chose him because of his potential to grow and dethrone The Great Will while leading entire races of Demons to a new future. The Demi-fiend is someone of great navigational skills; being able to traverse through otherworldly locations such as the Amala Network, which is filled with loopholes and mazes that disorients any normal people. Along with that, he has no problem traveling through the Vortex World, which was formally Tokyo now fused with the Expanse and filled with Demons. His puzzle solving skills are considerably superb as well, as he was able to succeed through a long, frustrating, and possibly the most difficult puzzle in the game; moreover, he is able to keep a casual Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV at bay by setting up traps for him and outmaneuvering him in the process. Raidou is a trained and skilled detective with expertise in firearms and swordplay. Fought against Raidou twice, the latter of which's partner, Goutou, was so impressed by his strength that he considered him worthy enough to join the Kuzunoha clan. Can negotiate with demons and get them to join his cause and can defeat demons/gods of myth who hold millennia of experience in combat. Defeated Kagutsuchi, and guided the entire Demon race in a war against the Great Will). Cosmic with Kagutsuchi's powers (Has the power and essence of Kagutsuchi absorbed into him, allowing him to become the god of the new world. Kagutsuchi Exists throughout, and administers an infinite number of universes, and is aware of events happening across the entirety of creation, with all of Kagutsuchi's infinite manifestations sharing a single consciousness)

Attack Potency: Meta Hierarchal Multiverse level, likely Higher (Empowered by Nanashi's observation, reforming him back to his original self. Fought against a fully powered Stephen alongside the other Messiahs and managed to satisfy him after a long battle, proving to him that they had the potential to exceed The Axiom. Stephen gained a small glimpse of The Axiom through transcending the infinite Cycle of Transmigration, which would make him comparable to Matter Lucifer who transcended into a higher plane of existence beyond even YHVH).

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Despite his naive demeanor, he is no slouch in intelligence as Lucifer specifically chose him because of his potential to grow and dethrone The Great Will while leading entire races of Demons to a new future.

Powers and Techniques

As a Messiah, he is a user of Type 3 Observation, granting him the following: Observation (Varies between Unconcious Manifestation & Concious Manifestation; Observation users consciously and unconsciously change truths around them creating Gods and demons from myths and rumors), Negation (The power of observation has the ability to make something without form be certain and stable. The Axiom tasked humans with observing the universe, allowing humans to assign an answer to phenomena without an answer. Dagda mentions humanity's "understanding" (observation) is what's locked him and Danu in physical forms. Nanashi and his party's denial of YHVH cast him into a demonic form. Gods and demons exist within a human's observation. Demons that also exist beyond death can be killed by observation users), Negation of Personal Nonexistence (Ayin Physiology; Can kill The White and demons, who naturally exist within the expanse, which the Monochrome Forest exists within the expanse, a place that is eerily still, having no sound or smell, where even the ground itself feels unusual, which demons naturally exist in. The Forest also holds the White’s realm, which is a vast, white space), Negation of Incorporeality (Can harm and kill demons, who are beings made of data, that exist in a virtual world, along with being pure information. With even the most basic of objects in the verse existing as data), Negation of Abstract Existence (Type 1; Demons embody the phenomena and beliefs of humans, with their physical forms only being created due to humanity's observation locking them into these forms, and their true forms existing as the phenomena and beliefs they reside in), Negation of Acausality (Type 5; Can harm and kill demons, who are natural residents of The Expanse, a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse, demons such as Ishtar are capable of going into separate multiverses, along into the "real world", demons such as Demi-fiend, can exist in different universes asides from the original SMT 3 universe, demons can exist even when the flow of time itself collapses and there is nothing left but a void), Negation of Invulnerability (Metaphysical Invulnerability; Observation users such as Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV, can harm demons with regular guns and swords, even though demons when brought into corporeal forms cannot be harmed by conventional weaponry, along with military grade weaponry), Negation of Immortality (Ageless, Regenerative Immortality, Life and Death Immunity & Reliance [On Concept]) & Regeneration (True-Godly; It is noted by Lucifer that only a human can kill gods and demons, that when gods and demons try to fight each other the most they can do is seal each other. Permanently killed YHVH. All demons are reliant on the observation of humans to keep them existing, including even nonexistent demons such as The White, allowing them to come back even if they’re erased from existence and nonexistence. Along with this, all demons that die return to The Axiom and reincarnate. This allows demons to die and come back in a short timeframe due to their continuous existence from The Axiom and the observation of humans. This means even if all of reality were to cease existing, The Axiom would still exist within it, allowing demons to regenerate back.), Negation of Dimensionless Existence (Non-Dimensional; Demons only have "forms" due to the observation of humanity with even some demons being in the lowest form of humanity's observation making them unseeable without help, the "true forms" of demons are in truth without the concept of form, without observation they are not certain nor stable, are a phenomena without an answer and are unbound by concepts such as truth completely unshaped by reality. Demons under their observation forms embody concepts such as infinity which they are free from in their true forms), Timeless Physiology (Demons are natural residents of The Expanse, a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse. Due to this, they do not apply by the speed formula and can appear anywhere they want in most cases), Negation of Omnipresence (Observation can reduce one into a singular being, when the being was originally one that was everywhere within reality), Negation of Omniscience (Humanity's observation of YHVH defies his words and truths, YHVH is an all-knowing being that sets the fate of the entire world), Irreversible Damage (Nyarlathotep used a spear conjured by humanity's observation of a wound that can never heal to inflict a blow that could not be healed even by the strongest healing magic), Existence Grounding (Observation users can bring a demon or god's existence down to their level, such as when Flynn and his party's denial of YHVH as the one true god brought him to the level of a demon, massively weakening him. Dagda mentions humanity's "understanding" (observation) is what's locked him and Danu in physical forms), Power Bestowal (Gods & demons are granted by humans observations of them. To the point that a gods power is based off if humans still remember them. Observation has the ability to resurrect someone and give them strength to the point where they can fight Stephen with The Axioms powers), Power Nullification (Observation allows one to remove one's defenses and strengths along with some of their innate abilities), Reality Warping (Stephen stated that humans have the power to shape the world. Philemon states people have tremendous power in their souls over the flow of reality, with their strong wills being able to change reality), Conceptual Manipulation, Subjective Reality, & Creation (The power of observation, has the ability to make something without form, be certain and stable, The Axiom, tasked humans with observing the universe, allowing humans to assign an answer to phenomena without an answer), Truth Manipulation (Humans have the ability to change the answer they've found into faith, and eventually into truth. Observation debased YHVH's truths, removing him from everyone's mind, killing him), Memory Manipulation (Through the power of observation, the Persona 2 Innocent Sin cast were able to erase their meeting during a summer evening, creating an alternate timeline), Perspective Manipulation (The power of observation allowed humans to change the very design of the Abyss [the Expanse] to what they perceive it as), Statistics Amplification & Resurrection (Observation has the ability to resurrect someone and give them strength to the point where they can fight Stephen with The Axioms powers.

One's will and beliefs can lower even a nonexistent entity's (such as The White) stats. Gods powers can be greatly reduced if they're forgotten. Observation allowed Aleph and his party to harm YHVH who stated as they were his creations, there blades cannot harm him, yet they were able to), Resistance to Memory Manipulation (Through the power of observation, the Persona 2 Innocent Sin cast were able to erase their meeting during a summer evening, creating an alternate timeline)

With their Willpower, they get: Sheer Will (Naturally users of willpower tend to have some of the strongest willpower in their respective universes), Statistics Amplification (A characters willpower in SMT allows them to increase greatly in strength allowing them to harm enemies they couldn't even scratch before and survive attacks that would have originally kill them, the will of one's friends and allies around them can invigorate one to become far more powerful then before), Regeneration (True-Godly. Characters that get completely erased by demons to the point that everything returns to nothing (otherwise known as returning to The Axiom) but with enough willpower one can regenerate back to life), Resurrection (Everyone praying for Raidou bolstered his willpower up, allowing him to ressurect and regenerate part of his body), Resistance to Pain (Users with high willpower can fight through pain that's so unbearable that it makes one unable to move, constantly take damage and being unable to control their demons well), Memory Manipulation (Noted by Polaris that all of the memories and relationships of the Devil Survivor 2 cast will be completely erased if they choose to restore the world, requiring a strong willpower to retain them), Empathic Manipulation (Humanity's willpower allows them to ignore the voice of God, with Zelenin needing to sing a stronger sword to wipe their willpower away), Truth Manipulation (Users with huge willpower can ignore the truths created by YHVH due to the bonds with their friends)

Reliant on Concept; All demons are reliant on the observation of humans to keep them existing, including even nonexistent demons such as The White, allowing them to come back even if they’re erased from existence and nonexistence. Reliant on Reincarnation Cycle; Along with this, all demons that die return to The Axiom and reincarnate), Abstract Existence (Type 1; Demons embody the phenomena and beliefs of humans, with their physical forms only being created due to humanity's observation locking them into these forms, and their true forms existing as the phenomena and beliefs they reside in), Dimensionless Existence (Type 2; Demons only have "forms" due to the observation of humanity with even some demons being in the lowest form of humanity's observation making them unseeable without help, the "true forms" of demons are in truth without the concept of form, without observation they are not certain nor stable, are a phenomena without an answer and are unbound by concepts such as truth completely unshaped by reality.

Notable Techniques

---

• 

  Demi-fiend normal attacks

• 

  Demi-fiend slide punching in Digital Devil Saga

• Slide Punch: Also known as "Attack" in game, it is a low damage dealing physical attack that involves Demi-fiend sliding to his opponent and thrusting his fist at them. Hence the title. Uses this in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga
• Pass: Allows Demi-fiend to pass on his turn to the ally next to him, making the press turn icon "blink" indicating that specific turn has not been used up entierly.

• 

  Demi-fiend summoning a Pyro Jack into battle

• 

  Demi-fiend summoning his demons in Digital Devil Saga

• 

  Demi-fiend summoning his demons in Shin Megami Tensei V

• Summon: Allows Demi-fiend to summon a demon from his party. Along with this, he can return a demon back to stock or part with them, similarly to how a COMP can seal demons within the summoning program. As Demi-fiend is a half demon, he innately has these unique abilities and does not require a COMP unlike other characters from the series.

• Talk: Allows Demi-fiend to communicate and invite a demon to join his party. Typically involves giving up macca, answering questions to the demons liking, or giving them certain items that they request.

• Escape: Escape is normally a player-exclusive ability. Escaping will return the user and the party back to the overworld. While in combat, the skill can be used while the player turn is active, but there is only a chance of success; if the odds fail, the turn will be used up, giving the enemy opportunity to attack again. The success rate for escape is decided either by the Agility stat, Luck stat or both. On principle, low-level encounters can be escaped easily. Especially useful when there are no other options left for the player, it is a secret last resort technique.

Demi-fiend recording his progress through the Terminals

• Load: Loads back to a previous save file, transporting Demi-fiend to the last Terminal he went to
• Suspend: Creates a suspend data to allow Demi-fiend to continue off where he saved

Spiral Viper: After deeply inhaling and gathering attention to the upper body, Demi-fiend emits a beam of light with a green thunder toward Enemy. Although the cost is 18% of HP consumed and it is not much different from the Physical Skill "Divine Shot", this skill's power makes it the strongest single-target physical skill and the critical rate is also slightly high, so if one were to use it after using Focus, it will normally hit over 1000 damage under normal circumstances.

• Magma Axis: The Demi-fiend conjures flames on both palms, then launches a blast of heat towards a single target. Despite Magma Axis consuming 30% HP, it is a magic skill that can be sealed by Mute. This skill is affected by Fire Boost, which increases the power of the skill by 1.5.

• Divine Shot: Divine Shot is a single targeting, Heavy-tier Physical Skill that consumes 13% HP, a lower cost than most other physical Magatama skills for the Demi-fiend. It also has a moderate chance to score a critical hit.

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Gaea Rage in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Gaea Rage in Digital Devil Saga

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Gaea Rage in Shin Megami Tensei V'

• Gaea Rage: One of Demi-fiend's most iconic and notorius techniques. In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Gaea Rage costs 35% of his maximum HP to use, and has a critical rate of 30% and an evasion rate of 3%. It is exclusive to the Demi-fiend. In Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, Gaea Rage deals severe Almighty damage to all enemies and debuffs their defense by two stages. It is exclusive to the Demi-fiend and he only joins Nanashi for the second fight against Stephen as a temporary ally in the DLC "Messiahs of the Diamond Realm." In Shin Megami Tensei V, Gaea Rage is one of Demi-fiend's signature skills at the end of the Return of the True Demon DLC subquest. Gaea Rage deals a very high amount of affinity-piercing physical damage, far in excess of the 999 health cap, instantly killing the protagonist's party unless a passive such as Enduring Soul is used. The Demi-fiend will only use it if 5 of his Press turns pass without him summoning a demon, or if the party utilizes an attack mirror or Tetrakarn. The protagonist can obtain Gaea Rage via Essence Fusion using the Demi-fiend's essence, acquired by defeating the Demi-fiend. It deals severe Physical damage to all enemies that ignores affinity. In Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, Gaea Rage is a skill used exclusively by the Demi-fiend. It deals incredibly high Almighty damage, far above the 999 health cap, instantly killing any party member it hits. He will only use it after every two demons summoned or when the party equips any skills that nullify attacks. It can only be dodged using Close Call (user survives with 1 HP), Null Sleep (guarantees 100% evasion while inflicted with Sleep), or the highly unlikely possibility that it is dodged normally.

• Xeros-Beat: After bending the body for a while and focusing the power, the body is made to emit light, and a myriad of light rays are emitted from the Full Body toward the Enemy Party. Damage + BIND (paralysis) effect is applied to the entire Enemy Party. Due to the performance of having a BIND effect, its power is low for 40% HP consumption.

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Javelin Rain in Nocturne

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Javelin Rain in Digital Devil Saga

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Javelin Rain in Shin Megami Tensei V

• Javelin Rain: A unique skill for the Demi-fiend, it has him charge energy to his right foot, then throws a rolling sobat, shooting a myriad of light rays at all. It consumes 40% of HP and is the same value as Xeros Beat, but not only is it stronger, it can inflict Mute on any enemy that is not immune to Physical and/or Death. In the later half of the story, many enemy demons that are resistant to all magic will appear, so it is useful against them. In Shin Megami Tensei V, it deals severe physical damage to all enemies, has a cost of 90 MP with no Physical Skill Affinity upgrades and has a chance of inflicting Seal.

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Deadly Fury in Nocturne

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Deadly Fury in SMT IVA

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Deadly Fury in SMT V

• Deadly Fury: The Demi-fiend puts his hands together as if drawing a sword, forming energy into a blade before drawing it in a horizontal slash towards the enemy. Deadly Fury consumes 32% HP and its power is greater than the skill "Oni-Kagura." Despite its cost, it has a very high critical rate and thus easy to get a half Press Turn icon using it, so it is a useful technique in a late-game normal battle against multiple opponents. In Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, Deadly Fury is one of the Demi-fiend's skills in the DLC "Messiahs of the Diamond Realm." It deals heavy Physical damage to all foes with a high critical rate, and a moderate chance of making the Demi-fiend Smirk. It costs 45 MP. In Shin Megami Tensei V, Deadly Fury returns as one of the Demi-fiend's unique skills. It is a single target Physical skill that will always land as a critical hit. As the Demi-fiend cannot join the player's party, it can instead be taught to the Nahobino through the Demi-fiend's Essence.

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Freikugel with a Focus buff, dealing an incredible amount of damage

• 

  Demi-fiend performing Freikugel in Shin Megami Tensei V

• Freikugel: One of Demi-fiend's most deadliest and ultimate techinques. The Demi-fiend charges magical power in front of his face, before launching deadly beams from his eyes at a single enemy. It has the highest offensive power Demi-fiend can learn, and exerts unreasonable power when applying auxiliary magic. Because it is an Almighty-based physical skill, it is effective against all enemies and can be amplified by Focus. In Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, Freikugel is exclusive to the Demi-fiend in the quest "Messiahs in the Diamond Realm." It deals heavy Almighty damage to a single target, and is complemented further by the Demi-fiend's passive skills Pierce and Almighty Pleroma. In Shin Megami Tensei V, Freikugel is no longer tied solely to the Demi-fiend, though it is part of his skillset during his boss fight as the final part of the Return of the True Demon DLC, with the skill animation from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne returning. It is a severe-tier Almighty skill that runs off of the caster's Strength stat and has a high chance of getting a critical off of one target.

• Oni-Kagura: Oni-Kagura is a skill exclusive to the Demi-fiend. He fires a wave of purple particles at the enemy party. Oni-Kagura consumes 30% HP and has a moderately increased critical hit rate.

• Chaotic Will: It has chance of instant-kill and always halves the turn icons of all enemies (even if the instant-kill effect misses). If the enemy's icon count is an odd number, one icon will become a blinking (half) icon

---

Other

Standard Tactics: As a half demon, Demi-fiend has access to a plethora of magical spells under his belt that he has no issue in utilizing. He is a formidabble opponent that has trihumped against many fiends through his sharp mind, with his tactics pulling him through agaisnt unlikely odds. His starting move greatly varies on the opponent and the path he decides to take, but skills obtained early game such as Analyze will guide his action, along with his status as a messiah typically allowing him to make the right decisions. Fighting isn't the only option he has to his disposal, as he can negogtiate with the enemy to get them to join his cause, which for the most part have proven to be successful, especially with certain skills enabling such odds; The True Demon Path even displays Demi-fiend's capability of commanding a large mass of demon followers. Unlike other protagonists from the SMT series, Demi-fiend has the innate ability to summon demons without the use of a COMP or consuming MAG, allowing him to set up a poweful versatile team to back him up in fights; and as seen in his boss fights, he seems to always open up with demon summoning. Throughout the course of Nocturne however, The Players may find it that they may have to make use of the Auto feature to Slide Punch through fodder enemies. Tedious, but an effective method nontheless.

Weaknesses: Shown to be rather trusting and naive initially, though in paths such as the Freedom Path, he is able to walk his own path; unhindered by others intentionally taking control of him. Weak to certain skills depending on the Magatama he ingests, though these weaknesses disappear later down his journey. Demons are weak to mercuric sulfide.

Trivia
