Profile

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse

Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers

"The guardian god of the samurai. Of Japan's many gods, he is the most revered. According to the history of the Usa Shrine, Emperor Ojin is Hachiman. But it is also said that Hachiman is a legacy of Taoism, Buddhism and other mainland cultures, which shrouds his origin in mystery. Since he was the Genji clan's guardian god, he has been worshiped by samurai since the Kamakura era."

—Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers 3DS Compendium

Hachiman is necessary in order to fuse Zeed into the General Yoshitsune (if Zoma is level 60 - 79) or Masakado (if Zoma is 80+) during a New Moon.
