History[]
Kagutsuchi is the Japanese god of fire, and the son of Izanagi and Izanami. His mother was so badly burned when she gave birth to him that she died. Izanagi cut his son in eight pieces and from the body eight mountain gods emerged and from the blood came forth eight gods. Kagutsuchi is an alternate name of Ho-Masubi.

Profile[]
Most notable as the sword form of the deity of the same name.
Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei[]
The weapon of choice of Akemi Nakajima, the reincarnation of Izanagi.
When Akemi Nakajima faces Yomotsu-Shikome in the Shirasagi Mount, she gives him two orbs, which Izanami instructs him to clash together when the time is right. When Loki catches up to them in Izanami's tomb and attempts to rape Izanami, Nakajima clashes together the two orbs and summons Hinokagutsuchi, who takes the form of the sword. With it, Nakajima is able to slay Loki and rescue Izanami.
In the OVA, Hinokagutsuchi appears as Izanagi's sword, which he drops as he escapes from Yomi. During the final battle with Loki in Yomi, Nakajima and Cerberus chance upon the sword and use it to slay Loki.
Digital Devil Story 2: Warrior of the Demon City[]
Hinokagutsuchi again appears as Nakajima's sword. He is able to summon it at will by visualizing the two orbs clashing together, and uses it to fight Seth and his minions.
Digital Devil Story 3: Demise of the Reincarnation[]
Nakajima is still able to wield Hinokagutsuchi, using it even in his madness brought about by nightmare demons.
Majin Tensei[]
The Hinokagutsuchi sword can only be acquired if the protagonist finds Isis, who is sealed in the pillar of ice. Then he should go to the priest of Styx Shrine. The priest will give the protagonist the sword, but to use the sword a sacrifice of a soul should be made, then the protagonist can choose what soul to embed into the sword: his, the heroine's, or a demon's he possesses.
Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku[]
The Hinokagutsuchi can be obtained by exchanging the Futsu no Mitama at a healing spring in Bael's Castle.
Stats[]
Megami Tensei[]
The Hinokagutsuchi sword is in the airborne city of Bien, and can only be found if Nakajima goes to a certain room on the 4th floor after obtaining Ruth's Bottle. After entering the room, the demon in the bottle says there's something hidden there, and a prompt arises asking to cast Mappara. Upon doing so, a door appears out of thin air, which leads to the powerful blade.
|
Megami Tensei II[]
The Hinokagutsuchi sword can only be acquired if the Nihil Blade has already been taken and the protagonist has spoken with Lucifer in the Expanse. Then, by going counterclockwise to the statue located in Ueno, the protagonist will be teleported back to a remote area in the Expanse. The Hinokagutsuchi will take the place of Nihil after these requirements have been met.
|
Shin Megami Tensei[]
The Kagutsuchi is created by fusing the Murakumo with the Element Salamander. The Murakumo is obtained through other sword fusions.
|
Shin Megami Tensei II[]
The Hinokagutsuchi sword is the second strongest sword obtainable by fusion (the Youtou-Muramasa is stronger and hits more times but it is cursed). It requires a very long chain of fusions. The Hinokagutsuchi is also dropped by the Hakaishin Susano-o in the main area of the Diamond Realm.
|
Shin Megami Tensei: if...[]
The protagonist can find the Hinokagutsuchi in the World of Jealousy on 4F, but it can only be obtained if the protagonist has either no Guardian or one of their three strongest Guardians (e.g a male protagonist with speed stats can only obtain the sword by having either no Guardian or if his Guardian is Astaroth, Odin or Shiva).
If the protagonist has Charlie as a partner, it will visit the World of Wrath instead, so the Hinokagutsuchi cannot be obtained in Charlie's path.
In the Land of Nomos (only available on Akira's path), after defeating Mammon (which is the boss of the third Nomos), when warping to the 19th floor warp zone at full moon, one can go to the place with the Hinokagutsuchi. The sword can be pulled out and obtained if either the protagonist's or Akira's strength and vitality are 25 or more.
|
Shin Megami Tensei NINE[]
The Hinokagutsuchi can be obtained by performing a Sword fusion with its namesake.
|
Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse[]
The Hinokagutsuchi can be obtained from the Members-Only Club in the Ginza Shopping District for 4,223,340 macca.
|
Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE[]
|
Giten Megami Tensei[]
|
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers[]
The Hinokagutsuchi can only be found in Beelzebub's section of the Corridor of Time, within the "no stopping zone." It is one of the strongest swords that the protagonist can equip, but it is not the most powerful weapon (which would be the Trishula).
|
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon[]
Kagutsuchi Sword can be created after obtaining the Homusubi Crystal from Kagutsuchi as a fusion or leveling gift.
|
Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE[]
The Hi-no-Kagutsuchi is a Swordmaster-only weapon for Yashiro Tsurugi. When fully leveled up, Navarre can inherit the skills Espada, Inferno Strike, Sword-Slash EX, Sword Expertise EX, and Absorb Fire.
|
Persona 5 Royal[]
"A sword adorned with foreboding flames."
The Hinokagutsuchi is a weapon for Goro Akechi. It can be obtained by Executing Futsunushi, the ultimate Persona of the Magician Arcana, in the Velvet Room. In Royal, if a fusion alarm is sounding, this will instead produce the Hinokagutsuchi II.
Due to the Magician Confidant completing in December, the weapon can only be itemized and equipped to Akechi once he rejoins the party in January and after the Velvet Room is made available once more, which is done when the protagonist rejects Maruki's offer of cooperation.
