Megido (メギド Megido), nicknamed Megido of Lava ((よう)(がん)のメギド Yōgan no Megido)[1] and Megido of Hellflames ((ごく)(えん)のメギド Gokuen no Megido),[2] was one of the Four Demon Kings from the Demon World.[1] He and his peers allied themselves with Lucia Raregroove and Demon Card as part of Project DR, "Dark Rendezvous".[3]

Appearance[]

The largest out of all Demon Kings (roughly five times the size of an average human, easily fitting one's upper body in his open palm),[4] Megido's form is that of an anthropomorphous lion, possessing human-like arms and torso paired with a feline lower body and head. His orange-skinned frame is massive and heavily muscular, he has pupil-less yellow eyes, a brown nose topping a pale brown muzzle full of sharp fangs and a long, brownish orange[5] mane growing all around his head. His large hands and animal feet end in curved dark claws. He has been observed standing on all fours,[1] but he mostly walks around on his rear legs like a human would.[6]

Megido leaves most of his body exposed. He first appeared wearing a light loincloth, sporting ornately decorates angular edges, a chainmail-like accessory hanging from his neck, thin bracelets covered in straight lines around his biceps[1] and dark wristbands.[7] When joining Lucia for the final battle, he dons another outfit, largely unchanged from his previous one, but dark in color: his loincloth is now longer, with rounded edges adorned by a series of light hanging strip,[8] and he replaced the ornament around his neck with a torn garment, paired with a necklace consisting of large, round spherical gems, each bearing an identical motif. His bracelets changed to a larger pair covered in wavy lines[2] (with an identical pair adorning his ankles),[9] and he no longer wears wristbands. In both attires, he dons a dark undergarment under his loincloth.[10][11]

Personality[]

In stark contrast to his animal appearance (as well as to his sporadic roaring),[12] Megido can be civilized, putting his pride aside to behold Lucia's alleged power as the "Great Demon Lord's Vessel" ((だい)()(おう)(うつわ) Daimaō no Utsuwa), as well as subsequently submitting to him[13] (seconding his desire to destroy a dimension they both consider "fake"),[14][15] and showing mercy to the Rave Warriors when he might have simply killed them all; during the latter instance, he voiced his distaste for pointless battles, and went as far as to give his opponents thorough information on Endless without having any obligation to do so.[16]

On the other hand, he enjoys taking on powerful opponents, and can be heard praising their achievements.[17] He also does not give in to his foes' taunts, responding in a similarly mocking tone without losing his temper.[18][19] While diplomatic, Megido does have great confidence in his abilities and status: he openly looked down on Doryu, a once-fellow Demon King, for losing to mere humans, and was enraged by Berial's request to submit to a human, threatening to kill the Duke.[20] His own defeat at the hands of a human being left him in dismay; the latter instance further proved his loyalty to Lucia and his dedication to their plan, with Megido seemingly committing suicide to try and eradicate his opponent.[21]

Synopsis[]

History[]

Star Vestige arc[]

Megido receives a visit from Duke Berial inside his palace in the Demon World's Urburg Region. He is informed of Doryu's loss to Haru Glory, a human, a fact which Megido refers to as a stain to the Demon Kings' reputation. Berial then reveals his true purpose: to have Megido and his peers ally with Lucia Raregroove and Demon Card. Megido, however, shrugs off the offer, even becoming enraged and directly threatening the Duke when the latter suggests they all submit to Lucia. He, however, calms down when told that the boy, far from being a mere human, is "the ultimate Demon" and the "Great Demon Lord's Vessel";[22] something which makes Megido curious enough to show up at Demon Card's headquarters alongside many other powerful individuals, wanting to see Lucia's power himself. The mere sight and aura of Demon Card's leader are enough for Megido to acknowledge him, allying with Lucia in what is referred to as "Dark Rendezvous".[23]

Later on, Megido reaches the Star Memory cave on his flying carriage, shortly after the conclusion of Haru and Lucia's duel and the appearance of Endless. Floating in the air before the gigantic creature, he proceeds to attack it with his fire breath attack, piercing a huge hole into its chest and causing it to stagger, then avoiding its titanic counterattack. He lands on the ground, and, having approached the Rave Warriors, states his intention to bring back Lucia. He shrugs off Hamrio Musica's attempt to fight him, claiming he will spare his opponents' lives and advising them to leave while Endless is momentarily incapacitated. When asked, he describes the titanic being's true nature as well as its invincibility. He finishes his speech by telling the Rave Warriors that they, like Endless himself, are part of the Star Memory. Haru questions him on his last statement, but Megido does not answer, leaving with Lucia while telling the others that everyone is bound by "an invisible thread of fate". Back on his carriage, the Demon King tells Demon Card's leader, distraught at the humilation of being rescued, that he still has potential to improve.[24]

Blue Guardians arc[]

Much later, Megido is seen back in his Urburg castle. When Endless appears in the Demon World's Uiyubass region, Berial inquires about Megido's thoughts on the resulting havoc. The King merely notes with a jovial expression that the Demon World is done for but that it is not a loss worth getting upset over; Berial responds with the suggestion that they simply move on to the Human World.[25]

The Final Battle arc[]

Megido attacks Haru

Megido reappers at Demon Card's headquarters when Lucia summons forth he and his fellow Demon Kings for the final battle. He starts slaughtering Demon Card members with his fire, and, when angrily questioned by a dismayed Lady Joker, voices his support for the young man and his goals, seconds before the woman is cut down by Lucia himself.[26] He is present at the side of Demon Card's leader in the alternate dimension he created, roaring out loud as he prepares to battle the Rave Warriors.[27] Much later within the dark dimension created by Lucia, the latter calls Megido forth when facing Haru. Rapidly emerging from the ground, the Demon King sends the Rave Master flying with a punch and then blasts him in midair with his fire breath, rapidly disabling the boy. As the Dark Bring Master leaves with an unconscious Elie, he orders Megido to finish off Haru, telling him he is not interested in fighting his nemesis. Voicing his will to have the "fake world" and all of its lies disappear, Megido tries to obliterate the downed opponent with his flaming roar. He is, however, shocked to see his fire cut by Shuda, who stood before the Rave Master to protect him.[28]

Megido defeated by Shuda

Admiring his opponent's feat, he asks Shuda to tell him his name; the latter's refusal causes Megido to refrain from revealing his own name. The Demon King and the former Oración Seis member then clash in close quarters, their confrontation resulting in Shuda inflicting a small cut to Megido's jaw while the latter blasts him away with his fire breath. Megido, however, is surprised to see his foe standing largely unharmed. The two of them exchange taunts, and Megido, laughing out loud in satisfaction, prepares to call forth the flames of Hell with his Hellflame technique. The former Demon Card member, wanting to protect Haru, decides to stand where he is, taking the Demon King's assault head on while wielding his Heavenly Blossom sword with his right, mechanical arm.[29] Then, focusing all of his resolve and memories in a single slash, Shuda slices through Megido's infernal flames and then through his own body, causing the shocked Demon King to fall through the ground. Lamenting his and his peers' defeat right when Lucia's plan is so close to its conclusion, Megido makes one last attempt to take down his foe: he shatters the ground around him, revealing a large pool of lava underneath to engulf Shuda. He is, however, the only one to fall inside, while his opponent grabs onto a rock.[30]

Powers and Abilities[]

As a Demon King, Megido is not only a leading authority in the Demon World (one before whom Duke Berial is willing to bow)[31] but also ranks among the most powerful beings in both the Demon and human world, his might far exceeding that of former Demon King Doryu.[32] In his first appearance, Megido proclaimed himself able to kill Berial, an Oración Seis member, in just two seconds,[33] and he was also confident, at a later time, in his ability to take on all the Rave Warriors at once and emerge victorious (although Haru and Shuda were wounded at the time). His immense power is evident from his ability to temporarily stop Endless in its tracks with ease.[34]

Flight: During his assault on Endless, Megido was shown remaining suspended high in the air and even maneuvering around it without the need to ride on his flying coach.[35]

Pyrokinesis: Megido rules over fire and flames, harnessing their destructive power to attack his foes. He is capable of releasing potent blasts of fire from his body, striking anyone in a large radius around him.[36] In addition, true to his epithet, he seems to have control over lava (at least while in his palace in the lava-covered Urburg Region), with his rage provoking small volcanic eruptions around him.[1]

  • Flame Breath (Unnamed): Megido's signature attack that has him gather fire inside his mouth, then breath it out into a huge, conical wave towards whatever direction he is facing, incinerating anyone and anything unfortunate enough to be in the path of attack. The technique is powerful enough to grievously injure Endless, piercing a giant hole into its chest and momentarily disabling the omnipotent being.[37] However, Shuda proved himself capable of cutting through this attack with his Heavenly Blossom blade,[38] much to Megido's admiration,[39] while shortly thereafter shrugging off the fire completely thanks to his fire resistance inherited from wielding Fire-Attribute Dark Brings.[40]

  • Hellflame ((ごく)(えん) Gokuen): The strongest technique in Megido's arsenal and evidently the source of his epithet. "Super-hot flames from Hell" (()(ごく)より()()がる(ちょう)(こう)(ねつ)(ほのお) jigoku yori fukiagaru chō-kōnetsu no honō) are summoned forth by him to annihilate his foes, described as the "Ultimate Heat" ((きゅう)(きょく)(しゃく)(ねつ) Kyūkyoku no Shakunetsu). The technique's use comes in two phases: the first has the Demon King focus and then strike at the ground with with one of his arms, prompting a number of large, powerful geysers of fire to appear around him, effecting massive destruction. The bursts of flame surge up to the sky and raise the surrounding area's temperature to the point where human skin is burned simply by hot air. The second phase involves Megido breathing out a vast amount of hellfire in the same vein as his more basic fire breath: Megido gathers the fire inside his mouth, then breathes it out towards his target of choice. His empowered Hellflame can allegedly reduce anything to ashes, being described as capable of melting an entire nation.[41] However, Shuda managed to slice through this attack and then through Megido's own body, leaving the Demon King in utter dismay.[42]

Underground Travel: Megido has been shown emerging from the ground on two different instances, breaking through solid rock to take his targets by suprise.[2][43]

Immense Strength: True to his massive size, Megido is immensely strong: by merely thrusting his hands into a stony ground and gripping, he was able to reduce a huge portion of it all around himself to pieces; what's more, the feat was performed while the Demon King was badly injured and laying down.[44] His punches are strong enough to send humans flying away[45] and to shatter rock.[46]

Enhanced Reflexes: Megido's bulk doesn't seem to hinder his considerable speed and dexterity, allowing him to dodge Shuda's melee attacks with ease.[47]

Expert Melee Combatant: While Megido's specialty resides in his fire attacks, the Demon King doesn't shy away from melee combat, and has shown he can perfectly handle himself in close quarters. He was able to fight on even terms with a swordsman of Shuda's caliber, evading the slashes of his Heavenly Blossom while delivering his own attacks (though the opponent's own prowess had the latter dodge as well). His body structure allows him to employ unarmed moves commonly associated with humans (such as punches and kicks) as well as claw at his opponents.[47] During his ambush on the Rave Master, Megido combined unarmed combat with his fire breath, sending Haru flying with a commanding uppercut to prevent him from dodging his fire roar.[48]

Demon King Form (の Maō no Sugata): Megido status as a Demon King allows him to take on a more demonic form at any time, transforming

Equipment[]

Megido's carriage

Flying Carriage: When coming to Lucia's aid in the Star Memory cave, Megido was shown riding a flying carriage pulled by two ghostly horses. It comes with a roofed, arched top, looking like it is composed of bones (adorned by an elaborate wavy decoration in its uppermost part), and sits on four spoked wheels. Located on the roof's front part is a massive ornament, reminiscent of a bull's skull: it sports two long, slender horns, jutting downwards and then curving upwards to describe a second, smaller curve. Two spears are present on the back, sporting triangular tips and wrapped in light cloth which is partly left hanging, and two massive lit braziers sit at the carriage's sides. The vehicle is large enough to easily accomodate a sitting Megido and Lucia, leaving room for several more human-sized passengers.[49] The horses pulling the carriage (which have dark-colored coats but light tails and manes) appear to wear masks or indeed to have skeletal faces, sporting a single, slender, bony central horn and ear-like appendages shaped like bat wings; they also have straw-like ornaments circling their legs above the hooves.[50]
