Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army
Sukuna-Hikona plays an important role in the events of Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army. In Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV' confrontation with General Munakata, the General is ultimately revealed to be manipulated by Sukuna-Hikona within his body. Crawling out General Munekata's body through his mouth, Sukuna-Hikona engages Raidou to a battle.

Despite Sukuna-Hikona's miniature size, Sukuna-Hikona is a powerful foe, capable of using a special skill that seals Raidou's movement for a time being. Should the seal hits Raidou's demon allies, they are forcefully ejected back to the Devil Summoner tube, forbidding Raidou to re-summon them until the end of the battle.

Persona 4
Sukuna-Hikona appears as Naoto Shirogane's initial Persona.

History

Trivia

 * Sukuna-Hikona's design is reminiscent of the Kamen Rider series, having a bug-like (butterfly), superhero motif.
