Daisoujou

Daisoujou (だいそうじょう, Daisoujou) is a recurring demon in the series.

History
The design for the character seems to be based of the Buddhist mummies, sokushinbutsu. These were monks who preformed self-mummification by starving themselves for about three years. At the end of these three years, they were entombed alive with just enough room to sit cross-legged. A tube was placed in the ground, leading to the tomb for air. The monk had a bell with him and everyday, someone would listen for the bell to make sure the monk was still alive. When the bell no longer ran, the air tube was removed and the tomb was completely sealed. A thousand days later, the body would be exhumed. If it was preserved, it was revered as a god.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
You fight Daisoujou near the Mantra Headquarters. He's the first optional fiend you can fight against. He teleports behind you, asking if you've been seduced by power. He teleports again, saying that even though all is fated to end, you still challenge that order. Daisoujou says that it's his job to save those who've gone astray, and then fights you. You receive the Candelabrum of Eternity upon victory.
