Pyro Jack is named after the fabled figure Jack-o'-lantern. He is a reoccurring demon in the Megami Tensei franchise. According to the earliest accounts of the tale, "Stingy Jack" was an Irish farmer who persuaded the devil not to take him to hell. When he was refused entry into heaven, he wandered the earth as a turnip-headed (or pumpkin-headed) soul who would come to be called "Jack of the Lantern," or so says the legend. Jack-o'-lanterns are carved by children and enthusiasts alike on Halloween. The tradition can also be thought to help guide the lost soul himself.
The legend, however, goes back further than the term itself. Jack-o'-lantern or some variation thereof was at the height of usage in 17th century Europe. Simply put, it meant "the guy with the lantern." Later the term would almost exclusively be used as slang in reference to the will-o'-the-wisp phenomenon, or ignis fatuus; due to the appearance of a far off person carrying a lantern.

Pyro Jack is second of the three Jack brothers. He is one of the most common demons in the series, appearing in nearly every game. He still retained the more traditional "Jack O'Lantern" name in the earlier English localization. Since Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and subsequent localization, "Pyro Jack" has occupied the English naming with no official explanation from Atlus. The name change, however, makes him more comparable with his in-game brother, Jack Frost, in terms of their signature elements of fire and ice. The name "Jack-o'-Lantern" has been eventually restored in Persona 5, Persona 5 Strikers, Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster and Shin Megami Tensei V, suggesting "Pyro Jack" is a compromise for character limitation of the user interface. Shin Megami Tensei"Origin: England. A fairy resembling a jack-o'-lantern. It is a prank-loving fairy that's also called a Will-o'-the-Wisp. It was originally a human named Jack. But because of his constant pranks on demons, his soul was cursed to roam."
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Originally named Pyro Jack, in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster his name has been changed to Jack-o'-Lantern.
Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE Pyro Jack appears in Nakano field during the in-game night hours and a larger field boss variant spawns close to the New Moon moonphase. He frequently acts as the quest-giving NPC for Halloween and autumn-themed events. In particular, he was a supporting boss in the All in the Hopeless Afternoon Halloween event as Netherworld-Guiding Flame Pyro Jack that fought alongside Wandering Innocent Soul Alice.
He occasionally makes appearances supporting Jack Frost in Christmas-themed events enough to have his own special Christmas-themed variation. Like Jack Frost, he is one of the common bazaar-tending demons and many pieces of player gear are themed after his design. When equipping a weapon infused with his crystal, players can also gain the ability to use the Magic Shot skill. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey "An Irish spirit, seen as flames in the swamp. Also known as the Jack-o'-Lantern. He is known around the world by names such as Will o'the Wisp and Hitodama. He appears at night to startle travelers and make them lose their way."
Pyro Jack is featured in the "Training Battle 2" Challenge Quest. Pyro Jack, Jack Frost and Jack the Ripper have gathered to cover each others' weaknesses and must be defeated in one turn. Flynn can accomplish this by using Lunge on Jack the Ripper, skipping to Naga to use Bufula on Pyro Jack and then skipping to Kaso to use Maragi on Jack Frost.
Pyro Jack appears again in "Training Battle 6," where Flynn and his party must use damage reflected by his demons' innate resistances to defeat the enemies while switching summoned demons according to what is needed. The enemy demons are the Jack Brothers +, a party of Pyro Jack, Jack Frost, Jack the Ripper and Hairy Jack. During the first enemy turn, Jack the Ripper will use a physical attack targeting Flynn's party. On the second enemy turn, Jack Frost will attempt a Mabufula. For the third turn, Pyro Jack will use Maragion. On the next turn, Kanbari will need to use Tetrakarn to ward off Hairy's Jack's attack. Attacking Hairy Jack at any point may result in him using Retaliate, which will defeat one of Flynn's demons prematurely.
Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse Pyro Jack can be found in Kasumigaseki. He can teach the Agilao and Maragi skills through his Demon Whisper. Pyro Jack excels at using Fire skills.
A Pyro Jack Costume can be purchased in Shibuya after defeating Shesha and people return to the underground, reopening the shops.
Shin Megami Tensei V The earliest a Jack-o'-Lantern can be obtained is by fusing either Mandrake or Slime with Kodama. A Jack-o'-Lantern is also required to summon King Frost and Alice through special fusion.
One Jack-o'-Lantern can serve as an accompanying navigator for the protagonist under Oberon's orders, initially to serve as a intermediary for the protagonist and Idun.
Another Jack-o'-Lantern can be found in Ginza and initiates the quest "Lighting the Way," requesting the protagonist bring him Fire Gems. After completing the quest, they can continue to bring him more Fire Gems for various items.
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers If Pyro Jack's loyalty is maxed out, he can be converted via Mystic Change into a set of Pumpkin Bombs, powerfully explosive shotgun shells.
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army Pyro Jack can be found in the basement of the Daidouji Residence and in Ginza-Cho during random encounters. He is the first of two demons to learn the Fiery Spiral combination skill and Fire Resist. Pyro Jack possesses the Jack personality type.
During Episode 9, Susano-o will summon Pyro Jack as support during battle with him, and re-summon him every time he is defeated. In addition to being able to inflict Panic on Raidou and his demons, the Pyro Jack summoned can also use Dormina to put them to Sleep, which will leave them open to Susano-o's heavy Physical attacks. Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner Pyro Jack appears in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner as one of the "Hip Hop Brothers," who were members of the Solids. They attack Embryon at Coordinate 136 on the second floor. The other brother was Jack Frost. Pyro Jack shouts "Listen to me!" before casting his spells, possibly an allusion to the legend's persuasion of the devil. Later in the game, the remaining HipHop Brother can be found guarding a large blue treasure chest in the entryway of Coordinate 136. After first denying the party access to the chest, he does enlist their help in retrieving the key to open it. After defeating Titania on the 3F - Transit floor, returning to Pyro Jack with the key will cause him to pop open the chest and run off with its contents in order to curry favor with King Frost. After defeating King Frost in the top room of the tower, Pyro Jack can be found cowering out on the balcony, promising to follow Serph and begging for forgiveness. Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2 Pyro Jack appears in the Underground City later in the game and will sell Impel Stones he produces from his head for $50,000 apiece. These stones have the same effect as Psycho Rage and will grant four flashing press turns] when used. Pyro Jack will not have another stone to sell until the one currently in the party's inventory is used. During the last stages of the game, Pyro Jack's Solar Data can be found in the 2nd Layer of the Sun and will resume selling Impel Stones there. |

Attack Potency: Varies (All demons are affected by humanity's observation, which changes the answer they found in faith and eventually into truth, which can invigorate or kill the gods (or demons alike) allowing one to envision a demon at a strength level they want.

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), Incorporeality (Demons are beings made of data, that exist in a virtual world, along with being pure information.

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), Acausality (Causality Immunity; Demons 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), Hive Mind (Multiversal Hive Mind; 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 (Respiratory Self-Sustenance, Nutritional Self-Sustenance, & Restful Self-Sustenance; Demons can naturally exist and breathe within the vacuum of space without any adverse effects done to them.[1] Due to their innate physiologies, demons naturally do not need to breathe, eat, or sleep.[2]), Accelerated Development (Level;Physical Stats and Abilities.
