「是佛非佛，是鬼非鬼，然我命由我！」
Originally revered as the divine child of Mt. Ibuki, Demoniac Shuten Doji spent his eternal youth chanting sutras and absorbing the endless, mundane troubles of devoted pilgrims. However, as times changed and brutal wars ravaged the land, the prayers turned into concentrated resentment and despair. Disillusioned by the hypocrisy of human nature and the hollow teachings of the temple, he willingly embraced this dark, demonic aura. Shedding his divine origins and burning his monk robes, he abandoned the sanctuary for the war-torn Mt. Tanba. Believing that survival of the fittest is the world's only true law, he carved a path of absolute power through endless slaughter, ultimately claiming the throne as the undisputed Demon King who bows to no god or Buddha—forging a destiny entirely his own.

Recommended order of skill investment
Maxing Raging Blaze (S3) is an absolute priority. Upgrading it to Level 5 increases the movebar push to 40%, dispels an additional buff, and unlocks the critical auto-cleanse for allies whose HP drops below 30%.
Inflamed (S2) should be maxed next to double the damage buff on himself and improve the team's damage reduction based on missing HP. His normal attack (S1) is a luxury, but worth maxing for the increased splash damage during Demoniac State.
💡 Daruma Tip: Because Black Daruma upgrades a random skill, sub-5-5-5 targets have a lucky vs. pity variance range. Stop feeding Black Daruma immediately once key skills reach target breakpoints — non-essential skills do not need to be maxed to Lv.5.
