Megami Tensei II
Jack makes his debut as a demon on the overworld map outside Bael's Castle.

In Kyūyaku Megami Tensei, if Nakajima found Jack Frost Jr. in the first game, the father gives a choice of four demons to the hero: Zeus, Leto, Artemis, or Apollo.

Shin Megami Tensei: if...
After Karukozaka High School is transported to the Makai, demons roam the hallways among frightened students. The protagonist encounters one of these demons - a friendly Jack Frost. This particular Jack Frost is known as "Hee-Ho-kun" and he seems to have acquired a school uniform from somewhere. He states that he loves attending school and that all good children should use 'Hee-Ho' in their polite speech, and then he offers to join the protagonist's party.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
A Jack Frost known as "Hee-ho" was the owner of a Junk Shop in Shibuya. After Hee-ho made enough money to travel, he sold the shop to a fabulous male Manikin, prone to flirting with the protagonist. Hee-ho's dream was to become a big and powerful demon "like the king", so he headed to the Mantra Army Headquarters in Ikebukuro. When Hee-ho arrives at the Mantra HQ he is afraid of the demons, so he stays outside, but it's too hot there (there are pillars of fire near the entrance), so he decides to head elsewhere. Hee-ho ends up at Kabukicho Prison, presumably looking for Magatsuhi.

After Mizuchi was defeated by the Demi-Fiend, Hee-ho transformed into Black Frost and began calling himself "Emperor of Kabukicho", ruling over a small host of Jack Frosts. After being defeated by the Demi-Fiend, Black Frost melted and left behind the Satan Magatama. In the Third Kalpa, Black Frost appeared in a room with two 'switches' after Dante was defeated. After talking to Black Frost, he joined the Demi-Fiend's party without his consent, believing that he could grow stronger still by joining the one who defeated him.

Normal Jack Frosts can be encountered and contracted in Ginza.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
Jack Frost is one of the four optional Bazaar shop keepers. Jack Frost can be fused from an Elemental Erthys and a Pixie or a Harpy and a Sudama.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Jack Frosts reappear as common, recruitable demons in the first floor of Sector Bootes. A lonely Jack Frost appears in Sector Carina's basement, moping over the loss of his family. In an effort to achieve revenge, he asks the protagonist to get him an Ice Vest to increase his power. Upon getting the item and using it, the Jack Frost grows and becomes a Frost Ace, unlocking the Frost Ace Special Fusion combination and granting a powerful gun to the protagonist.

Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
If Jack Frost's loyalty is maxed out, he can be converted through Mystic Change into Candy Boots, a rare gift item that can make it easier to communicate with certain kinds of demons.

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army
Jack Frost is a recruitable demon and ally. During a second cycle, Jack Frost steals a uniform and fuses himself with it, becoming Raiho.

Megami Ibunroku Persona
Jack Frost is the second Persona available from the Lovers Arcana and appears as a large Jack Frost with exaggerated cap tails. As a Persona its stats grow evenly with each rank and it focuses mostly on Magic Defense. When returned to the Velvet Room at MAX rank it yields a Luck Incense.

The demon version of Jack Frost first starts to appear after the party exits Mikage Hospital into Mikage-Cho.

Persona 3 / FES / P3P
In Persona 3, one of Elizabeth's or Theodore's requests require the player to fuse a Jack Frost with the skill Dia. Successfully completing this quest rewards the Protagonist a High-Cut Armor.

Persona 4 Arena
While not making a major appearance in Persona 4 Arena, one of Teddie's alternative palette swaps resembles Jack Frost.

Jack Bros.
Jack Frost is the protagonist. He, along with Pyro Jack and Jack the Ripper, have to make it back to the Makai world before midnight.

DemiKids: Dark / Light Version
A large number of Jack Frosts (shortened to J. Frost) have formed a town called "Frostville" in the land of Dem. The Jacks have seemingly formed a hierarchy which consists of Jack Frosts at the bottom, Icy Aces serving as guards, and King Icy ruling over them. Akira passes through the town on his way to the Valhalla, and has the option of aiding "Zack Frost" complete a quest to become an Icy Ace. Other Jack Frosts can be seen all over Valhalla and Dem alike, and several Jack Frost variations are seen as well. Some variations include: Icy Lemon, Mini Icy, Icy Melon and Icy Berry.

DeviChil
In the anime, Jack Frost is extremely clumsy and vocally communicates using only his characteristic phrase, "hee-ho". Initially, he appears under the control of the villains and attacks the party. Having no choice, Setsuna Kai and his nakama Cool tries to fend Jack Frost for as long as they can while Mirai Kaname makes efforts to wake him up. After a literally heated battle, Mirai succeeds. He then agrees to accompany the party.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner
Jack Frost appears in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner as one of the "Hip Hop Brothers", the other being Pyro Jack. The brothers are members of the Solids and they ambush Embryon within Coordinate 136, on the second floor.

If the player chooses to do so, he or she can revisit Coordinate 136 to find Pyro Jack without his partner, perhaps implying that the Jack Frost brother had been killed since then.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2
Jack Frost is in random encounters but no longer appears as a common enemy. Instead, he will quiz the player with 20 questions per battle, stopping only when the player answers wrong or correctly answers all questions for the round. Should the player correctly answer all 100 questions they win a certificate for answering the 100th question correctly, and a set of stats increasing Data. If all answers have been answered correctly, every time the party encounters Jack Frost, he will give the player random items before running away.

Players will also have the opportunity to fight Jack Frost if all questions are answered correctly in the final dungeon, the 3rd Layer of the Sun. Jack Frost will prefer to use Breath to freeze a party member and attack them repeatedly, but should that avenue of attack be cut off with Ice shields, he will attack using other skills. Using debuff spells on Jack Frost will make him waste turns casting Dekunda rather than attacking. Defeating him nets the Pass Ring and Magatama ammo. He will also continue to appear and grant the party items after the battle.

It should be noted that both the Jack Frost that appears in random encounters and the Pyro Jack that hangs around Mad Mart aren't the Hip Hop brothers from the first game, as both the data of the Hip Hop brothers and the data of Pyro Jack/Frost appear in separate areas of the sun.

Additionally, Jack Frost dolls appear scattered throughout the Karma Society Tower.

Trivia
