| “ | Who dares attempt to pass this place! He who does not state his name shall not pass! Identify thyself! Thou sayest that thou art Kazuya? The one named Kazuya has dormant power. Kazuya... Beyond this door, both those chosen by God that follow the path of Law and Order, and those that rely on their own power that follow the path of competition and Chaos await you. Take care not to tip the balance between the two as you proceed... | „ |
| ~ YHVH reaching out to The Hero in a dream sequence |
| “ | ...That's right. I still have much to do. This is no time for a rest. Thank you, child. Because of you, I am whole again. | „ |
| ~ The Hero thanking Nanashi for reviving him |
| “ | I can't lose--there's still something I need to do! | „ |
| “ | Yes, Stephen has restored us. All that's left is to find a way back to our respective universes. | „ |
| “ | I must return to my own universe as well. I'm concerned about Tokyo, now that the ICBM fell... I still don't know which is the right path. Law, Chaos, or perhaps... Maybe there isn't a right path. But I need to learn what the people desire most. I don't know how long that will take, but I won't rest until I find the answer. Let's meet again. | „ |
| ~ The Hero to Nanashi before returning to his own world |
| “ | Try not to feel too bad. | „ |
| ~ The Law Hero to The Hero after witnessing his mother's death |
The Hero, also given the name of Kazuya or Futsuo in supplementary materials, is the main protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei I, and, like the others before and after him, is a silent character, whose personality within the game is determined strictly by the actions and decisions of the player themselves. Having started out as seemingly an ordinary high schooler living alone with his mother and dog, with no previous contact with the supernatural, his idyllic life was soon shattered after a meeting with a demon in a shopping mall, and a series of strange dreams and meetings, all of which prophesized that he would one day attain a power beyond his wildest imagination, and shape the entire world through his actions, causing him to discover about the ongoing infestation of demons occurring in Tokyo, and a chain of events that ultimately culminated in the destruction of the city by a barrage of nuclear missiles.
Unlike most of the series' main characters, however, the Hero is distinguished by the fact that he took a canonical stance within the conflict between Law and Chaos at the end of the game, ultimately choosing to reject both the order of God and the visceral freedom of Lucifer and carving his own path, in which both extremes would side in harmony, and humanity at large would hopefully live safe from the meddling of either side.

Alive as of SMT If... and IV Apocalypse (In an alternate timeline, Thorman had suffered a heart attack thanks to the intervention of Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV retconning the event, thus the ICBM did not go off and The Hero is seen wandering in SMT If. In Apocalypse, Stephen had brought back The Hero thanks to Nanashi's Observation)

Along with access to Bufu skills, which can completely freeze opponents, giving these results). Universe level via Observation & Summoning (Defeated Thor early on in his adventure, who is described as the mightiest of the Norse gods and is superior to Loki, who can create and sustain his own universe[1] 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), Higher via 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 (Trained within the Diamond Realm in a test of worthiness to determine if he can return back to the real world, allowing him to achieve the enormous strength that he has now.

Lucifer himself was worried about the hero’s increasing strength and took preparations to try to destroy him or get him to join his side. Killed Vishnu, the God of Hinduism. Defeated Beelzebub, who is one of the most powerful chaos demons and serves as Lucifer’s second in command. Which should put them above the likes of Ideo Hazama, who is in full control of The Expanse, with his power splitting The Expanse into different domains, and can control areas in The Expanse into different locations. Even while defeated, his mental world sustains The Expanse. The Expanse, is a realm that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse, of which there are infinite universes), Far Higher with Observation & Willpower (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. With it's power being noted by Stephen to give humans the potential to exceed the Axiom) & 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)

At least Cantorversal with Observation (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[2] A single manifestation head is so far beyond all of creation that not even his creations blades can harm him[3]. YHVH is a being who created infinite universes, and exists beyond the very boundaries of time within the multiverse. The multiverse is composed of information and data, further proven with Stephen having attacks that can code beings that the world, this would make SMT a mathematical multiverse falling under the level 4 multiverse, a multiverse where eevery possible mathematical structure and be described at some level, which would include any possible level of reality that can be conceived of using set theory. Which would include planes such as Akarana Corridor a void that transcends time and space, with it requiring a special ritual to enter, where even the Herald of Yatagarasu cannot put Raidou into this place[4], putting it beyond even The Expanse a place that transcends the past, present, and future of 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[5])
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Although he acts as the silent protagonist with not a lot of detail surrounding his character, he is shown to be an expert in the ways of combat and strategy as a means to fend off powerful demons and gods of myth who wield mystical and supernatural abilities with some having exceptional skills in battle such as Thor. His mastery over swordsmanship and firearms more than makes up for the fact that he cannot wield Magic. Thwarted Gotou, a military general and succeeded in toppling high-ranking members of both the Messian and Gaian cults. Shown to be a competent leader as he is able to negotiate and lead groups of demons to join his cause, along with coordinating their attacks when locked in combat. Capable of utilizing the COMP to its fullest capabilities of which Stephen noted how difficult it was for regular people to figure out. Founded the Valhalla district of Tokyo Millennium and worked to help it expand alongside Pascal-Cerberus and Madam.

As a Messiah, he is a user of Type 3 Observation, granting him the following: Observation (Varies between Types 2 & 3. 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 Null Existence (Type 3. 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 (Type 2. 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[15]), Negation of Immortality & Regeneration (Types 1, 3, 5 & 8; 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 (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. Demons under their observation forms embody concepts such as infinity which they are free from in their true forms), 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[16]), 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. Isamu was able to survive a hit from Thor despite being a regular human), Statistics Reduction (Flynn and his party's denial of YHVH as the one true god brought him to the level of a demon, massively weakening him. 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)
All of his summons have Demon Physiology, granting them:
Standard Demon Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Demons can casually rip out a man's throat. They can also casually eat fully grown humans), Sheer Will (Demons are able to survive and withstand attacks that should kill them), Immortality (Types 1, 3, 7, & 8. Demons are the descendants of the gods of old. Who are able to do battle for an eternity. Many demons tend to be undead beings and humans that die and become ghost become demons. 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. Ouroboros the embodiment of infinity notes that unlike humans who are finite, demons have infinite and endless powers, allowing them to resurrect back infinitely no matter when due to not being made of finite matter), 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. Demons under their observation forms embody concepts such as infinity which they are free from in their true forms), Null Existence (Type 4. The home of the demons is 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), Incorporeality (Demons 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.

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.

Demons are a race of entities and are at the same time the same entity sharing all one collective hive mind of memories, species will note if they've been captured before even if they're being fought in an area one's never been to or were fused prior, demons such as Forneus and Decarabia talk about an event that happened in Nocturne where Forneus was late to a meeting due to his death from Demi-fiend), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2, & 3. Demons can naturally exist and breathe within the vacuum of space without any adverse effects done to them.[17] Due to their innate physiologies, demons naturally do not need to breathe, eat, or sleep.[18]), Accelerated Development (Level;Physical Stats and Abilities. Demons and Humans are able to grow from battles, allowing them to enhance their level of strength, magic, agility, luck, etcetera. Additionally, they can learn new skills and abilities from battles and further increase their HP and Magic capacity, and get strong enough to the point that they can fight end game tier demons), Reactive Adaptation (Demons as they grow in battle form changes around their body until they transform into a higher level with newer stats and newer abilities to learn), Berserk Mode (Demons enter a state of pure rage and berserk mode during the full moon, being completely irrational and unable to be negotiated with), Precognition (Types 3.

Standard Tactics: The Hero will focus on Physical/Gun attacks in combination with his summonable demons to make for a deadly team as they have access to magic that can either buff his stats while debuffing the opponents, and access to a large array of elemental/status effects magic. If he can, The Hero will also try to talk down his opponent to join his cause.
Weaknesses: Was gullible enough to pick up a knife that was already used as a murder weapon, which lead to his unfortunate arrest. Lacks real magic attacks. Demons will turn back on their master if they lack the strength to control them. His demons are weak to mercuric sulfide[35][36][37][38].
