Arahabaki is a recurring demon in the series.
History
Arahabaki is a Japanese god of uncertain origin. His portrayal in the Megami Tensei franchise is influenced by Tsugaru Soto-Sangunshi, a forgery compiled in the 1970s. The contents of the document and even the circumstances in which it was purportedly found prove that it was not genuine[1], but due to coverage in occult magazines between the 1970s and early 2000s it's relatively often referenced in popculture. Inaccuracies include descriptions of natural disasters which never happened, scientific discoveries stated to occur in incorrect time periods, and references to XXth century urban legends in purported XVIIIth century chronicles. Arahabaki is also stated to be a god exclusively associated with the Tohoku region in it - however, most place names related to this deity aren't even located in the north[2].
According to Tsugaru Soto-Sangunshi, Momunofu were his servants and before his religion was submerged by the Shinto pantheon, Arahabaki was worshipped in Japan's northeastern regions as a god of travelers. He was also worshipped by Nagasunehiko, an enemy of Emperor Jimmu, and so by the Emperor's orders Arahabaki became a symbol of treachery, rebellion and heresy and his worship was forbidden for a long period afterwards.
The genuine Arahabaki is a god said to be capable of healing medical problems related to the lower half of the body[3]. An association with ironworks is also suggested sometimes.
The dogu figurines on which both the description of Arahabaki in Tsugaru Soto-Sangunshi and his Megami Tensei design are based on actually aren't connected to this deity and date back to the neolithic Jomon culture. Their purpose remains uncertain, though religious and apotropaic functions are often ascribed to them by researchers.
Appearances
Profile
Shin Megami Tensei
"Origin: Japan. A native god of ancient Japan. Because shrines to him are found throughout Japan, he is known as a god of travelers. In one account, he was the chief god when Nagasunehiko and Abihiko started their kingdom."
—Shin Megami Tensei A-Mode DDS dictionary
Arahabaki appears as a rare encounter in the Imperial Palace. He can later be recruited in Tokyo Destinyland after beating the devil summoner there in the Neutral route.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
"A major deity in ancient Japanese mythology. Clay dolls were often sculpted in its image. Because this god was worshipped by a rebel, the dolls came to be considered symbols of defiance."
—Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne compendium
Arahabaki can be obtained by evolving Momunofu when he has enough experience at level 24. Upon evolving, it will always lose Brutal Slash due to lacking a weapon. Arahabaki has the ability to Repel Ice and void Expel, Death and Physical attacks. However, it is weak to the remaining affinities. Arahabaki can also be encountered at the Obelisk as a random encounter, but as a Vile demon, cannot be recruited through any means, even during Full Kagutsuchi and while begging for its life.
A strong Arahabaki that can cast Makarakarn to protect its weaknesses aside from ailments can be bought in the Labyrinth of Amala from a Shady Broker that lies behind a door that only opens to a demon of light. As such, the Demi-fiend's title must be Light-aligned before he can attempt to purchase this Arahabaki.
Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
Arahabaki can only be acquired through fusion. It appears as the final boss of Ichigaya Camp's silver-level instance and will always spawn with Momunofu. It also appears as a nightmare variant in the basement level floors of the gold instance.
Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse
"One of the chief gods of ancient Japanese lore. His image is reflected in shakoukidogu statues.
Because he was worshipped by Nagasunehiko, who defeated Emperor Jimmu's army, he was seen as a symbol of rebellion toward the Emperor, causing his adherents to be persecuted."
—Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse compendium
Arahabaki is encountered in Tennozu Shelter in the Challenge Quest "[Tgt] Secure an Evac Point." Arahabaki took refuge in the shelter, stating that it had sorceries still present that Arahabaki found to be pleasant. He demands that Nanashi and company worship him when they meet, and becomes enraged should he be asked to leave. Arahabaki will continually make use of Makarakarn to cover his weaknesses in battle, preventing elemental magic from being used on him. However, a gun loaded with elemental rounds can bypass this, as they are considered to be Physical-type damage. Using magic against Makarakarn is likely to cause it to Smirk but it will not cast Makarakarn until the next turn. Arahabaki has no means of removing debuffs from himself or buffs from the party, which may be necessary to use as Arahabaki will spend turns using Concentrate followed by Sea of Chaos.
Arahabaki can teach Nanashi the Sea of Chaos, Makarakarn, Concentrate and Energy Drain skills through his Demon Whisper. He benefits from learning Almighty and Support skills.
Shin Megami Tensei V
"A major deity in ancient Japanese mythology. Clay dolls were often sculpted in its image. However, because this god was worshipped by a rebel, the dolls later came to be considered symbols of defiance."
—Shin Megami Tensei V Compendium lore
Arahabaki can be found at the Fairy Village, seeking to find someone worthy to continue protecting Tokyo. Until the quest "The Ancient Guardian" is accepted from Okuninushi back at Kanda-no-yashiro, Chiyoda, he will not talk to the Nahobino.
Once the quest is accepted, the Nahobino now can speak to him, who deems him worthy enough to be considered to possess his treasure and fights them to test their strength. He is defeated and bestows the Lord's Sword to them, allowing them to find and awaken the Four Heavenly Kings before teleporting away.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
In the Canon of Creation, Arahabaki serves as an extension into unlocking the superboss unique to the route, Masakado, as to fight the ancient Taira warrior, he needs the fully empowered sword, which entails fighting the Four Devas like before.
In the Canon of Vengeance, Arahabaki is not in the Fairy Village, due to Jikokuten not being available as a fight in Da'at: Shinjuku. The ancient Kunitsukami will only show up if the Nahobino finds the Kiou Sword in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, and then takes the sword from the Nahobino, as the sword's owner, Masakado, is not fought in the Canon of Vengeance, and as such, it is of no use to this incarnation of the Nahobino. Once the Nahobino completes completing his Canon of Vengeance run after finding the Kiou Sword then starts a Canon of Creation run, CoV!Arahabaki shows up off a cliff near Kanda-no-yashiro, not too far from his fellow Kunitsukami. Talking to CoV!Arahabaki will give the Nahobino the Kiou Sword he found in Shinjuku, allowing the godling a chance to fight the true Masakado if he should desire it, before CoV!Arahabaki vanishes to return to his native timeline.
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army
Arahabaki's color pallete in the The Soulless Army and its sequel King Abaddon uses a gray color scheme rather than its normal blue-green colors.
Soul Hackers 2
"A major deity in ancient Japanese mythology. Clay dolls were often sculpted in its image. However, because this god was known to be worshiped by a rebel, the dolls later came to be considered symbols of defiance."
—Soul Hackers 2 demon info
Arahabaki is a demon of the Deity race and can be fused at the Cirque du Goumaden once Ringo reaches Level 37.
Persona 3
Arahabaki is the ultimate Persona of the Hermit Arcana. It is unlocked after maxing out Maya's Social Link. However, Arahabaki requires a special cross-fusion and thus cannot be fused until after 9/21 and the protagonist is Level 60. The personas; Omoikane, Take-Minakata, Okuninushi and Kikuri-Hime are needed to fuse Arahabaki.
The Movie
Arahabaki is summoned by Makoto during the battle against Chidori Yoshino and against other Strega members afterwards.
Persona 4 The Animation
Arahabaki is the Persona representing the bond between Yu Narukami and the Fox. He was first summoned by Yu in an attempt to slow down and damage Shadow Naoto, attacking with what was possibly Torrent Shot. Arahabaki also made a brief appearance in the fight against Kunino-sagiri. While Yu was being controlled, he used Arahabaki to block Kanji's rushing Take-Mikazuchi in his attempt to help. In the True Ending special, Arahabaki appeared to attack Margaret's Cu Chulainn using Vicious Strike and brought a message of support from the Fox.
Persona 5
"A mysterious god of ancient Japan. Most famously worshipped by Nagasunehiko, who was defeated in battle against Emperor Jimmu, Arahabaki came to be treated as a symbol of rebellion and defiance."
—Persona 5 background
Arahabaki is the sixth Persona of the Hermit Arcana and can be encountered as a Shadow in Okumura's Palace and the Adyeshach area of Mementos with the title "Awakened God." It is the first Persona to learn the Null Brainwash skill and the first Persona that can be used in battle by the protagonist to learn Maeiga. When itemized through Electric Chair execution in the Velvet Room, Arahabaki yields the Tapsuan armor for female characters, which has 160 DEF, 12 EVA and grants the Evade Wind (high) effect to the wearer. Arahabaki is one of the Personas required to summon Yoshitsune through an advanced fusion in the Velvet Room.
Royal
Arahabaki cannot learn Maeiga via level up anymore, with Flash Bomb taking its place. When itemized during a fusion alarm, Arahabaki will yield the Fine Tapsuan armor instead, which has 195 DEF, 15 EVA and grants the Evade Wind (high) effect to the wearer.
A lone Arahabaki can be found guarding the blue Will Seed in Madarame's Palace, this one is different than most Arahabaki, as it nullifies Physical attacks and resists Gun skills instead of repelling them and is weak to Wind skills instead of Psychokinesis skills.
Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner
Arahabaki is an enemy encountered in the Samsara Tunnels under Manipura. It tends to use physical attacks like Hell Thrust and Gates of Hell. To beat it, one ally must have a powerful Ice spell, like Cocytus, and freeze it. This bypasses its defenses and the party can inflict damage with critical after critical attack. Expel attacks and Almighty skills are the only other methods that can damage it. It drops Fusion Cells and Vital Noises.
Arahabaki is also the fourth demon summoned by the Demi-fiend in the optional secret boss fight. In this battle, it has access to dangerous moves such as Gate of Hell, Debilitate and Ragnarok.
Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2
Arahabaki is a common enemy in the higher layers of the Sun.
Devil Survivor 2
"One of the chief gods of ancient Japanese lore. His image is reflected in shakoukidogu statues.
Because he was worshipped by Nagasunehiko, who defeated Emperor Jimmu's army, he was seen as a symbol of rebellion toward the Emperor, causing his adherents to be persecuted."
—Devil Survivor 2 compendium
Arahabaki can only be fused after the protagonist reaches Fate Rank 3 with Jungo Torii.
Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2
"One of the chief gods of ancient Japanese lore. His image is reflected in Shakoukidogu statues. Because he was worshipped by Nagasunehiko, who defeated Emperor Jimmu's army, he was seen as a symbol of rebellion toward the Emperor, causing his adherents to be persecuted."

Trivia
- Arahabaki's design is based on the goggle-eyed doguu (or shakouki doguu), a type of clay figurine made during the Jomon period of prehistoric Japan (roughly 14,000 to 400 BC).[4]
- While Arahabaki is often referenced as a "he" in game text, the original clay figurines were actually modeled after women.[4]
- In Shin Megami Tensei, he appears as a Deity of the Light-Law alignment. However, Arahabaki is considered (in the series, at least) a symbol of defiance, rebellion and heresy. This could possibly be a reference to his former status as a Deity.
- In the Shinshoudo Antiques of Persona 3, there is a goggle-eyed doguu in the store, though it is unknown if it is supposed to be a reference to Arahabaki's design in the Megami Tensei franchise since Shin Megami Tensei.
- Arahabaki is the favorite demon of game director Shigeo Komori.[5]
