Dairoku Tenmaou , also known as Rokuten Maou and Demon King , is a recurring demon in the series.
History [ ]
Within the Gohonzon , a revered mandala in Japanese Buddhism, the "Dai-roku-ten-maou" (第六天魔王 * )? or the "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven/Sixth Heaven Demon King" symbolizes the lust for power and the desires to attain worldly goals. As the demon king with a great number of minions under his wing, he works to tempt Buddhists from practicing the teachings of Buddha. The "Sixth Heaven," also known as Takejizaiten , the Japanese translation of the Sanskrit name Paranirmitavasavarti, is the realm where the demon king resides, thus he himself is also known as Takejizaiten or Takejizaitenjin. He is ultimately derived from the evil being Mara of source Buddhist lore and the adaptation of Mara into Japanese Buddhism.
This title also refers to Oda Nobunaga , a 16th Century warlord known for his eccentric personality and cruelty in battle. However, the only historical source of Oda's usage of this title comes from the Portuguese Catholic missionary Luís Fróis . Fróis claimed that Oda used the said title to sign a replying letter for Takeda Shingen , who jokingly signed his own letter with a Buddhist title of "Tendainozasu Shamon " (天台座主沙門 , High Ascetic Abbot )? . Fróis' claim is largely dismissed by Japanese historians as unsubstantial to prove the association, because it would be unwise for Oda to make himself an enemy against Buddhism which by that time was also a powerful political player in the warring Japan. Another theory is that Oda was originally labeled as "Tenma " (天魔 * )? by his enemies, which eventually evolved into Dairoku Tenmaou. Nevertheless, the association has become widespread in fictional depictions of Oda.
Appearances [ ]
Profile [ ]
The demon model in Innocent Sin is based on the warlord Oda Nobunaga himself, and traces of the samurai look and the fiery texture around his armor (possibly referring to the Honnō-ji incident ) is seen in Kanji's ultimate Persona.
Persona 2: Innocent Sin [ ]
Known as Demon King , it is a common enemy in Mt. Katatsumuri , the Abandoned Factory , and in the Persona Thief quest. He cannot be obtained as a Persona.
Persona 4 [ ]
Known as Rokuten Maou , he is Kanji Tatsumi 's ultimate Persona that can be obtained by maximizing the Emperor Arcana Social Link . It inherits the stats from his initial Persona, Take-Mikazuchi , while upgrading its Electricity resistance to Null and losing the Wind weakness.
Persona 4 Golden [ ]
Rokuten Maou is Kanji Tatsumi's second-tier Persona and can be obtained by completing his Social Link. Rokuten Maou gains a +1 bonus to each of its stats and can Null Electricity skills and gains a added resilience to Physical skills, but retains its weak to Wind skills. Prior to Take-Mikazuchi's evolution however, they can learn Evade Wind from Emperor Rank 10, allowing Kanji a better degree of protection against Wind Skills.
Talking to Kanji after January 10th will cause Rokuten Maou to transform into Takeji Zaiten .
