==Profile== One of the four archangels in the service of YHVH, usually seen with Gabriel, [[Raphael]] and [[Uriel]]. Michael often takes the role of leader among the four. ===''Shin Megami Tensei''=== {{Q|Origin: Israel. One of the 4 heralds, the seraph of fire. He has many titles, and opinions are divided regarding his role. It's said that he led God's army in battle against Lucifer. He is also said to be the guardian of power and the guardian of justice.|''Shin Megami Tensei'' A-Mode DDS dictionary}} As the one responsible in leading the forces of the [[Order of Messiah|Messian Church]] in order to erect the [[Basilica]] and bringing forth the [[Millennium Kingdom|Thousand Year Kingdom]] of God, Michael stands in his chambers located on the heart of the last floor of the Basilica as the last enemy and final boss fight the [[Protagonist (Shin Megami Tensei)|protagonist]] must face in Chaos and Neutral [[alignment]]s; while serving as a non-playable ally if he is Law aligned, providing aid in the attainment of the "Angel Ring," a valuable item needed for the final showdown against [[Asura]] to become available. In contrast to this, Michael's own throne room is inaccessible unless the protagonist has the "Devil Ring" in his possession, but only if he follows the Chaos route. No item is required in the Neutral path. He poses as the leader of the [[Herald|seraph]] angels and serves as the most powerful servant of God on Earth, instructing the [[Law Hero]] in his Messiah persona and the other angels from behind the curtains in the completion of the messian fortress, being in the escorting of servants from [[Shinagawa]] to aid in the construction, and spreading the messian religion through the television broadcastings on [[Tokyo Tower]]. Michael firmly believes that, as a human, the protagonist has no right whatsoever in deciding what is right and what is wrong for the world while also cursing him for killing his former friend, the Law Hero. He goes on to say that only God has the right to wield such power, and so, judges the protagonist's actions as an arrogant way to proclaim that he is "better than God." Declaring the protagonist too dangerous to be left alive, Michael proceeds to engage them in the final battle, where he is slain. As he fades away, Michael pleads to God to forgive him for his defeat and failure to convert the world to their kingdom. With the fall of Michael, the balance of the world is nearly restored. ===''Shin Megami Tensei II''=== [[File:SMTIIsprite-Michael.png|right]] Michael appears in the guise of one of the senate elders (the one in the red robe). After defeating Raphael and Uriel earlier, he will reveal himself to [[Aleph]] and his party, where he will fight them. After he is defeated, a [[Fake YHVH|false projection of]] YHVH will appear. ===''Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX Devil Coliseum''=== Michael is one of the 5 secret fusions of the game. He can be summoned only after defeating [[Lie]] by fusing [[Metatron]] with another [[Divine|Tennin clan]] demon. ===''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne''=== {{Q|One of the four major angels. His name means, "Who is like god?". He stands at the top of the angel hierarchy. He carries an unusually long sword that can cut through anything.|''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne'' compendium}} Michael appears as a Seraph-race demon. Unlike the previous installments, Michael bears the distinction of not fighting the [[Demi-fiend]]. Michael, however, can only be summoned by fusing Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel together during a full [[Kagutsuchi]]. In the updated rereleases titled ''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax'' (''Lucifer's Call'' in the PAL release), the Demi-fiend can gain access to a higher class Seraph race demon, Metatron, who serves as the strongest Seraph race demon, by using Michael and another Divine or Seraph-type demon as a fusion component, while using a Tyrant-type demon as a sacrifice in a sacrificial fusion. ===''Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE''=== Michael first appeared in the Judgement Battle event as one of the event bosses. In this event, players were able to loot a summon PG from the end chest to acquire the ability to summon him. He was later added as an obtainable plug-in through the Secret Room instance. He is a special triple fusion of Gabriel, [[Virtue]], and [[Samael]]. ===''Shin Megami Tensei IV''=== The true identity of one of the masked men at [[Kagome Tower]]. He reveals his true form at Shene Duque alongside the other three. In the DLC [[Challenge Quest]], ''Clipped Wings 2'', Michael appears after [[Flynn]] has defeated Gabriel, and tells her to retreat for the time being. Like the other archangels, Michael will ask a question midway through the battle. Answering with anything other than "For my convictions." will have detrimental effects. Michael will always start the battle with Inferno of God, and from there, he starts using Physical attacks like Javelin Rain and Carol Hit, and he also has Fallen Grace, an Almighty skill that hits for 666 damage and has a chanced to land a critical. Michael also has Archangel's Law to add Smirk as well as Charge to strengthen his Physical attacks. Carol Hit has a chance to inflict Lost, which will lead to the party losing the demon that got hit with it until Flynn finds them back in the overworld. After his defeat, Gabriel leaves, but not before saying that she won't forget what has happened. After [[Mastema]] locks away the three angels, he returns Flynn to his present time. Completing the quest earns the character two Shining Hairs, the summoning mediums necessary for fusing Gabriel and Michael. ===''Shin Megami Tensei V''=== A statue of Michael can be seen in the Diet Building at [[Nagatacho]], radiating an orange aura. Michael is one of the highest-ranking seraphim, but he was sealed away during Armageddon. One particular [[Melchizedek]] commissions the [[Protagonist (Shin Megami Tensei V)|protagonist]] to free Michael, first by defeating the accumulated Magatushi of [[Gabriel]], [[Raphael]] and [[Uriel]]. After doing so, Melchizedek brings the ring to Michael's prison and frees him. Melchizedek can then be found in the Empyrean where he offers to introduce the protagonist to Michael. If they accept, Michael can be found in the Temple of Eternity and takes note of their [[Nahobino (race)|Nahobino]] status, but nonetheless thanks them for their role in freeing him and their view to uphold the Lord's view. He will then request them to eliminate [[Belial]], beginning "The Seraph's Return". After defeating Belial, Michael will join their party, provided that they have space for him. This also unlocks him for fusion, requiring a special fusion of Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. If the protagonist sides with [[Nebiros]] and [[Belial]], Michael will be disappointed in their actions and fight them, but is ultimately defeated. However, Melchizedek saves him from being absorbed by them, having heard of their ability to fuse demons and the two leave, making him unplayable. ===''Last Bible''=== Michael can be recruited if the protagonist chooses to continue the game at Nova. Aside from [[Sol Cat|Solion]], he is the only demon that has more than three skills. === ''Last Bible New Testament''=== Michael works as a servant of the "Ubiquitous One" [[Akemi Nakajima|Nakajima]], making sure no one discovers the truth of Legaia. After his defeat he survives. === ''Last Bible New Testament II''=== Wanting to protect Nakajima and his vision, Michael travels to the past in order to try to kill [[Protagonist (Last Bible New Testament Series)|Rui]]'s previous incarnation by helping [[Mystra]]. When he fails, he manages to take Mystra and escape. === ''Last Bible New Testament III''=== Placing Mystra into the center of the planet Damir, Michael gives power to [[Zell]] and then brings [[Eibon]], [[Alicia]], and [[Leonardo (Last Bible New Testament 3)|Leonardo]] to the past in order to try to change the future. He then sets in motion his plan in order to kill the next previous incarnation of Rui and prevent his reincarnation. In the end he fails and is killed. ===''Majin Tensei II: Spiral Nemesis''=== Michael is the boss fought in Zebr of Amnesia on all Dark and Neutral Routes. ===''Megami Ibunroku Persona''=== Michael appears as [[Eriko Kirishima]]'s [[ultimate Persona]]. In order to fuse him, the protagonist needs the Judgement Contract [[Totem]]. When [[Mystic Change|returned]] in the [[Velvet Room]] at MAX [[Rank]], Michael produces the Heaven's Gate rifle, equippable by Eriko, [[Kei Nanjo]] or [[Reiji Kido]]. ====''Persona Manga''==== Michael appears in the 43rd chapter of the manga, summoned by Eriko Kirishima during the fight against [[Pandora]]. Unlike his game counterpart, this Michael knows Makarakarn instead of Tetrakarn. ===''Persona 2: Innocent Sin''=== {{Q|The highest commander of the angels. Lucifer's twin brother.|PSX profile}} Michael can be summoned when the party is at least level 78 by using 332 Judgement cards. He can only be equipped by [[Lisa Silverman|Lisa]], with who he has Bad [[Affinity (Persona)|Affinity]]. When returned to the Velvet Room at MAX Rank, Michael produces the Morning Star [[Material Card]], which is required to summon Lucifer. Alternatively, Michael can also [[Evolution|mutate]] into Lucifer, which can save the party the trouble of collecting 396 [[Tarot Card|Devil Cards]] to summon him. In the original PlayStation version of the game, Michael is stated to be Lucifer's brother. ===''Persona 2: Eternal Punishment''=== {{Q|The highest commander of the angels. Waits for the day when all souls, both good and evil, shall be judged.|PSP profile}} Michael can't be summoned through normal means at first. In order to unlock him, the party must summon [[Ameretat]], who has a 12.5% chance of mutating into Michael (otherwise, she'll mutate into [[Futsuno Mitama]]). After successfully mutating Ameretat into Michael, he is added to the list of summonable Personas in the Velvet Room. This event is carried over in a New Game Plus. ===''Persona 3''=== {{Q|One of the four major angels, he is at the top of the angel hierarchy. Carries a long sword that can cut through anything. His name means, "Who is like God?"|''Persona 3'' compendium}} Michael appears as a [[Persona (concept)|Persona]] of the [[Judgement Arcana]]. The [[Makoto Yuki|protagonist]] can summon him after reaching Lv. 72 or above. In reference towards his role as a skilled swordsman among the archangels, Michael possesses his unique Slash-based physical attack, named ''Heaven's Blade''. ====''FES'' / ''Portable''==== [[Sword fusion|Fusing]] Michael with a [[Nihil]] weapon grants the second strongest rapier-classed weapon, Deus Xyphos (God Sword). ===''Persona 4''=== Michael returns as a Persona of the Judgement Arcana. He is available to be summoned once the [[Protagonist (Persona 4)|protagonist]] reaches Lv. 72 or above. Michael no longer holds the unique distinction of learning the skill ''Heaven's Blade'', as Metatron is able to learn the skill as well. ===''Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth''=== Michael can only be created through [[special fusion]], by fusing Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel together after the current protagonist has reached Level 71 or higher. The Michael Shard, obtained by using Michael as an ingredient in a [[sacrificial fusion]], is one of the materials required, along with a [[Capturer|Tangled Thread]] and Giant Sword, to create the Deus Xiphos, the ''P3'' hero's ultimate weapon. ===''Persona 5''=== {{Q|One of the four major archangels, he is at the top of the angelic hierarchy. He carries a long spear that can cut through anything, and his name means "one who is like God."|''Persona 5'' background}} Michael is the sixth Persona of the Judgement Arcana and can only be obtained by [[fusion]] in the [[Velvet Room]]. He is unlocked for advanced fusion once the [[Ren Amamiya|protagonist]] reaches rank 5 in the Strength [[Confidant]] with [[Caroline and Justine]]. The advanced fusion to obtain Michael requires fusing the other three archangels: Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel. Michael is the second of the three Personas that learn the [[Divine Judgement]] skill and one of the four Personas to learn the [[Debilitate]] skill. Michael is the third of four Personas to learn [[Sword Dance]] and the second of two to learn [[Cosmic Flare]]. When itemized through [[Mystic Change|Electric Chair execution]], Michael produces the [[Judge of the Dead]] revolver for [[Makoto Niijima]], which has 380 ATK, 92 ACC and increases all of Makoto's stats by 10. Michael is one of the Personas needed to perform the advanced fusion to summon Metatron, along with [[Principality]], [[Power]], [[Dominion]], Melchizedek and [[Sandalphon]]. He is also required for the advanced fusion recipe to summon Lucifer. In [[New Game Plus]], Michael is one of the six personas needed to create [[Satanael]], the ultimate Persona of the protagonist. Michael appears in the [[Depths of Mementos|Qliphoth World]] as the final mini-boss guarding along the Path to the [[Holy Grail]], with the title of "Apocalyptic Guide." He uses skills from previous bosses in the area and just like Uriel before him he also summons "[[Angel|Zealous Messengers]]" into battle to heal or buff him. When he is fought in the Qliphoth World, the theme is the stage boss theme "Blooming Villain" instead of the generic mid-boss theme "Keeper of Lust." ====''Royal''==== When itemized during a [[fusion alarm]], Michael will yield the [[Judge End]] revolver for Makoto Niijima instead, which has 360 ATK, 75 ACC and increases all of Makoto's stats by 11. It is the best gun in the game for Makoto, as the Judge of the Dead (which was renamed to ''Judge of Hell'') now has only 340 ATK. ===''Devil Children Red/Black Book''=== Michael is the main antagonist of the game and the Great Angel who rules the others. He is the father of the [[Angel Child]] [[Nagahisa Kai]]. Believing that humans and demons are beyond salvation, Michael manipulates his son into coming to his side in order to begin Armageddon. He explains [[Hoshigami|God's]] existence to his son in the Light Palace. If [[Setsuna Kai]] or [[Mirai Kaname]] reject his goal of Armageddon, then Lucifer will arrive. Where the two debate on whether humans and demons are worth saving. Michael will fight after their discussion as one of his son's demons against either Setsuna or Mirai. After his defeat, he will fade away alongside Nagahisa. ===''DemiKids Light & Dark''=== {{Q|Drawing his power from the sun, this angel is the leader of the forces against evil.|[[Demonary]], ''[[DemiKids]]''}} Michael can perform the Light combo Holy Shield with [[Marduk]] and the Dark combo Armageddon with Lucifer. Michael is obtained by ranking up [[Archangel]]. ===''Devil Children Fire/Ice Book''=== Michael is one of the rulers of [[Tenkai]] alongside [[Enoch]]. Shocked at the war between Enoch and [[Beelzebub|Zebul]], he begins to suspect something is wrong when angels are sent by Enoch to assassinate him. He attempts to reason with [[Adnachiel]], but learns it was a dark demon in disguise once [[Akira (Devil Children)|Akira ]] beats him. He gives Akira the King Riser and tells him that demons are gathering in the Tower of Babel. After beating ''Fire Book'' Michael will be the final optional boss faced in Highest Peak. Defeating him has him join the party. ===''Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2''=== Michael can be fought as an optional boss, after the events of Sera's awakening, a Karma Facility scientist released four Seraph-based Atma demons, hoping to stop the turmoil and chaos. Should [[Gale (Avatar Tuner)|Gale]] be able to successfully interrogate the scientist, he will reveal the presence of the Seraphs, unlocking the option to challenge them. Should the party defeat the first three Seraphs: Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel, Michael will await the party in the ground area of the Occupied Sector, where the Sun shines down. The party must then defeat the first three Seraphs in a gauntlet-style fight, with Michael challenging the party at the end. He calls the party fools for ignoring the "Great Will" and asks God to give him the power to destroy the party's ignorance and sins. Michael, along with the three Seraphs' speech reminisce about the events and their role in ''Shin Megami Tensei II''. The "Dragon Slayer" mantra, which grants several of Michael's skills, as well as the Gospel ammo, will be obtained upon defeating him. Michael goes through stages during the fight, at first, he will simply use single-target -dyne spells, then start mixing in Vanity and Physical attacks, and finally, when he gets low on HP he will start using Omnipotence and [[Megidolaon]]. An Attack Mirror is an easy way to ruin his day during the final stage. Another quirk with Michael is that his AI is set to start using Rage along with Omnipotence constantly if the party uses -kaja skills to go +3. ====''Quantum Devil Saga''==== Unlike the Demi-fiend and most other superbosses, Michael appears in a non-video game adaptation, being featured in Quantum Devil Saga as the transformation of a man named Henry Marcus (who kills Kazuki Homura). ===''Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2''=== {{Q|His name means "Who is Like God" and is one of the archangels. When Lucifer rebelled against God, the great strategist Michael was the one to defeat and trap Lucifer. He is well known for many other spectacular deeds, and to this day has a strong following in Europe.|''Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2'' compendium}}
