"I am the incandescent flower. How does your soul taste? I will devour you all!"
—Jezebel, Devil Survivor

Jezebel is a participant of the War of Bel in Devil Survivor. She appears on Day 7 on all routes, except for Yuzu's and Atsuro's.

History[]

Jezebel has been referred to as a wicked, manipulative woman who uses her position and power to promote a religion or belief that is against the tenets of God.

In the Book of Kings, she's the daughter of King Ithobaal of Tyre and marries King Ahab of Samaria (the northern kingdom of Israel). According to the biblical narrative, she urged the people to worship the Phoenician gods Baal and Asherah instead of Yahweh. The lead deity (Baal) of Tyre was Melqart, rather than the more famous Hadad. Jezebel also marginalized the prophets of Yahweh. As punishment for their transgressions, God decreed Ahab's and Jezebel's deaths. The end of their reign marked the end of the Omride dynasty.

Jezebel's story contains a number of anachronisms. The cult of Baal and the cult of Asherah were not particularly closely linked, and the myths of Baal often portray Asherah as hostile towards him. Historical sources connect the kings of Tyre more closely with the worship of Astarte, commonly interpreted as Baal's wife, rather than Asherah. Additionally, Ahab purportedly dies during the war against the king of Aram, Ben Hadad, a conflict which only happened after Ahab's supposed reign.[1] It is therefore possible the Jezebel narrative was intended as more of a theological commentary than an accurate record of history of Israel and other kingdoms.

In the New Testament Book of Revelations, the name Jezebel is used to refer to a false prophetess in a Thyatira church who is accused of spreading the practice of sexual promiscuity among worshipers. In some circles, Jezebel is an alternate alias of Jezebeth, the demon of falsehoods and lies.

Appearances[]

Profile[]

"Phoenician princess and wife of Ahab who appears in the Book of Kings. She introduced Baal to the Jews, but when Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal and Asherah, she tried to kill him. After Ahab died, her sons Ahaziah and Joram sat on the throne, but both died in a coup led by Jehu, son of Josefat. She was thrown from a balcony, then ran over with a chariot, and her remains were left for the dogs. All this was as prophesied by Elijah, as retribution for killing Naboth for his vineyard."
—Compendium

Jezebel is a minion of Belberith. When the Founder of the Shomonkai made a pact with Belberith, he performed a ritual that enabled Jezebel to reside within his daughter, Amane Kuzuryu. Unbeknownst to him, the angel Remiel secretly hid in her body as well to monitor the situation.

Six months prior to the Tokyo Lockdown, Amane summoned Jezebel to eliminate Jikoku, one of the Four Devas, in order to destabilize the barrier against the demon world. Once the guardian was defeated, Jezebel was weakened and remained suppressed by Remiel.

On every Day 7 (except Yuzu's and Atsuro's route), the player must enter Amane's soul with assistance from Remiel (or Naoya) in order to eliminate her and claim her power in the War of Bel. In Overclocked during Day 8 of Yuzu's route, Naoya reveals that Jezebel had fled back to the demon world.

Battle[]

Jezebel starts the battle positioned in the middle of a lava lake. Any of the player's teams standing in the lake take large amounts of fire damage at the end of their turns unless protected against fire. As the player begins to engage Jezebel in battle, depending on how much damage Jezebel took, Amane, who is standing behind Jezebel, will start to get damaged as well. The player must whittle down Jezebel's health while being careful not to inflict too much damage that Amane dies as a result. In Overclocked, it is no longer possible to kill Amane, as both Amane and Jezebel will always endure with 1 HP until the next phase begins.

Fortunately, after Jezebel reaches low health (presuming Amane is still alive), Amane regains consciousness, removing the lava lake in the middle of the field and escaping to a safer corner of the map. Jezebel will then summon Mind Amanes in an attempt to repossess Amane. The Mind Amane teams can be fought and defeated, but Jezebel always respawns them such that there are always at least 2 such teams. Defeating Jezebel is thus the only way to end the mission.

Trivia[]

  • Jezebel is contained as leftover compendium data for Devil Survivor 2. She can be used as a demon if one is to hack the game, and despite lacking an image for her stat screen functions fully. Her Hot Flower Racial Skill works as it did in the first game. She's referred to as "Izabel," which while sounding similar to Jezebel is unrelated.
