"The Magnetite you bear points toward the star of destruction... At last... one has come whose karma is worthy of a duel to the death. In the human world, there is a saying: "Ignorance is bliss." To distance the people of my country from the cruel truth... That is the part I play in defending this land. But you would go beyond... the stars tell me so."
Tenkai (テンカイ) is a demon in the series.
History
Also known as Tenkai Nankōbō, he was a Japanese Buddhist Monk who lived during the Azuchi-Momoyama and Edo periods, dying in 1643. He acted as a consultant and aid to Tokugawa Ieyasu and several of his successors after swearing loyalty to him. Tenkai is believed to have been Akechi Mitsuhide, who is rumored to have faked his death and start a new life over as a priest.

Profile
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Tenkai is one of the National Defense Divinities and acts as the guardian of Midtown, preventing everyone from learning the Ashura-kai's "terrible secret" in Reverse Hills in order to let the humans remain blissfully ignorant of the cruel truth. He challenges Flynn to a duel to the death as the stars tell him of Flynn who seeks to learn the truth. During the battle itself he asks several questions that pertain to Flynn's Alignment concerning his ideal Tokyo and what he plans to do once he learns the Ashura-kai's secret. He tells him whether his actions are in alignment and not to forget his resolve once he learns the truth.
As he continues to suffer heavy damage and get closer to defeat he reveals that he wants to be defeated and no longer bound to the duty he has been given, and is happy when he is beaten as the stars begin to move once more. Tenkai's final words are to tell Flynn that he wishes his next master will be someone like him. Tenkai turns into a huge slab after the battle.
To unlock him for fusion, Flynn must examine the stone that is his defeated remains with the key item, "Myoko's Disk," in his possession. His medium, along with the mediums for the rest of the National Defense Divinities, are obtained by speaking with the Master Samurai at The Hills building in Roppongi after the alignment lock.
