|---|
|
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV is a young student of the Yumizuki High School who was trained in the Kuzunoha village in the art of the Devil Summoner. Once he was ready, he undertook the trials at the nameless shrine in the heart of the Shinoda mountains and became the fourteenth Raidou Kuzunoha. He was assigned a partner by the Herald of Yatagarasu named Gouto, a sarcastic talking cat who was to guide Raidou in the ways of a Devil Summoner, and was sent to work part-time at the Narumi Detective Agency as a cover for his true task. As the newest Raidou Kuzunoha, it is his duty to protect the capital from the demons of the Dark Realm and ensure that the supernatural world is kept in check. His abilities with a katana are without equal, and his skill with a pistol is unmatched, but Raidou's true power comes from the demons tucked away in confinement tubes beneath his cape. Raidou Kuzunoha XIV is the newest member of a line of summoners who have claimed the title of "Raidou Kuzunoha." Originally a student at the Yumizuki Imperial High School, Raidou went through extensive training until he was ready to undergo a series of trials at the Nameless Shrine in the Shinoda Mountains, where he earned his title. The Herald of Yatagarasu assigned a talking cat named Gouto-Douji to watch over him. Raidou Kuzunoha uses a katana, revolver and demon tubes known as kuda to capture and use demons for detective work as well as protection. Raidou Kuzunoha is assigned to protect the capital from various supernatural dangers. He works out of the Narumi Detective Agency in Tsukudo-Cho, under the watch of Shouhei Narumi. Raidou was contacted by Kaya Daidouji, who wanted to hire him to kill her in order to prevent her from being controlled by her demonic blood. While talking to Raidou, Kaya was kidnapped by mysterious soldiers in red armor. Raidou continued investigating the case of the mysterious girl, until it lead him to the Daidouji Manor, in which he met Kaya's uncle Kiyoshi. After uncovering information about a curse on the Daidouji family, Raidou witnessed Kiyoshi transforming into a monster called a "Red Cape." When Raidou began to pursue Kiyoshi, he was stopped by a mysterious rogue Devil Summoner, who summoned Ichimokuren in an effort to stop Raidou from interfering. In this prequel novel, Raidou Kuzunoha XIV is revealed to have actually been named Jōhei. Raidou was a student of Yumizuki Imperial High School before becoming the apprentice to Shouhei Narumi. He wields a katana called Muramasa. Raidou Kuzunoha XIV returns as the protagonist of the fourth Devil Summoner game. He returns to shrine in Shinoda and undergoes retraining in preparation for returning to work for the Herald of Yatagarasu. Gotou-Douji returns in order to provide guidance in the same capacity as he did in the first game. Gotou unseals some of Raidou's abilities to allow him to summon two demons at once, and Raidou returns to work as the capital's guardian, seeking out the new disturbances that were detected by the Herald of Yatagarasu. Raidou once again winds up working with Shouhei Narumi and Tae Asakura. In this sequel, Raidou and Narumi were asked by a young woman by the name of Akane Narita to find a man by the name of Dahn. Following the clues, he managed to unveil that Dahn is related to the mysterious murders and suicides that are happening in the capital. As he continues to solve the mystery even further, he was stopped by a group of masked man, the Fukoshi. As they released a mysterious insect which is called the Luck Locust, Raidou had his luck drained and had to battle against Binbou-Gami and eventually lost. The series occurs after the events of Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, where Raidou continues his job of protecting the capital while working in the Narumi Detective Agency. He becomes involved in the case of the Lone Marebito after incidents involving humans becoming demons or summoning demons at the cost of their lives start to appear. Raidou Kuzunoha XIV appears in the Nocturne Chronicle Edition and the HD Remaster, replacing Dante in his role as a recruitable ally. Despite not being the protagonist of the game, Raidou remains silent, with Gouto speaking in his stead. At the start of the fifth Kalpa, Raidou also stops to have a chat with the Demi-fiend and recognizes his skills from the previous two times they clashed across the game. Raidou and Gotou offer to team up with the Demi-fiend and offer him a deal with a little gamble. Raidou produces two different mahjong tiles and the Demi-fiend is to guess left or right. If the tile he picks is the 9 tile, the Demi-fiend gains 100,000 Macca, but if he picks the 1 tile, he only gets 1. The 9 tile always ends up on the left. Most of his in-game skills parallel Dante's from the original, but have new names. The differences between their skill repertoires are that Dante can learn the conversation passive "Intimidate," but Raidou instead uses the milder "Arbitration," also the counterpart of Dante's "Son's Oath," called "Raidou the Aeon," possesses the additional effect of Pierce, making him viable in the battle against the ultimate boss. Raidou is mentioned in Pre-Conception Tokyo, where he is described by a passerby as "a pretty school kid all dressed up in black, with a cat." The same NPC mentions that he has "seen" Raidou somewhere else before. Unlike Dante, he did receive an ending cutscene, where he and Goutou go back to his world. Goutou is then seen typing about their experiences in the Vortex World. Raidou appears alongside Gouto-Douji and his alternate self Raido Kuzunoha the XIV in Soul Hackers as bonus bosses in the EX Dungeon, after defeating "Kyouji Kuzonoha." Raidou and Raido are both voiced by Tomokazu Sugita in the Japanese version. |

Fought against a fully powered Stephen alongside the other Messiahs and managed to defeat him after a long battle, although the former was more amused and satisfied by their performance than seriously threatened in the aftermath of the fight.

Additionally, Stephen is superior to Matter Lucifer, who transcended beyond Heaven after defeating YHVH)

A skilled and trained dectective apart of a dectective agency where there's no caper they can't solve. Defeated Tsuchigumo when he was ambushed and he purposefully lured Raidou to him for the ambush. Could chase down Demi-Fiend easily even after Demi-Fiend set up multiple walls and such to block his entires. Views the Devil Summoner Soul Hackers cast having to use machinery to summon demons as pathetic. Him fighting the Devil Summoner Soul Hackers cast is to him "stretching his muscles" and testing his skills. Calls himself a senior summoner in comparisson to the cast. Defeated a Frost Tarrasque, who has several thousands of years of experience)

}}*Devil Summoning: Raidou is a devil summoner who uses demons to fight by his side during battle and for investigations. Due to humans normally not being able to see demons, Raidou can used various summoned demons for many activities he himself can't do, such as using demons to sneak into rooms without being noticed. Despite the games making it look like he can only summon one demon at a time this is actually a Game Mechanic as in official cutscenes show him about to summon multiple demons at once, along with this in the canonical manga he can summon many demons.
*Boogie-Woogie: Deals multiple physical damage to one foe through repeatedly shooting them.
- Enter Yoshitune: Enter Yoshitsune is an exclusive skill to Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne that deals medium Physical damage and then summoning Yoshitsune to finish off with a lightning bolt.
- Mishaguji Raiden: Summons Mishaguji to deal heavy electric damage and 15% shock to all foes.
- Hikoto Storm: Summons Hitokoto-Nushi to deal heavy force damage to all foes.
- Raptor Guardian: Summons Moh Shuvuu to negate all -nda effects (status effects/debuffs) for all allies.
- Provoke: Buffs physical attack and decreases defense both by 2 levels, all foes and restores user with some MP.
- Mokoi Boomerang: Summons Mokoi to deal medium physical damage and 30% panic to all foes. Undodgeable.
- Jiraya Dance: Summons Tsuchigumo to deal heavy almighty damage to all foes.
- Raidou the Eternal: Multiplies equipper's all damage dealt by 1.5 and all physical/phys-almighty attacks bypass target's most resistances except for repel.
Other
Standard Tactics:
Weaknesses: Cannot confine enemies that are more powerful then him. If he is ever defeated by low tier enemies, the one's that precede him will kill him for such a disgrace.
Note: Despite the games making it look like he can only summon one demon at a time this is actually a Game Mechanic as in official cutscenes show him about to summon multiple demons at once, along with this in the canonical manga he can summon many demons.
