Kagutsuchi can also be spelled as 軻遇突智. Alternatively known as Homusubi (火産霊), Hinoyagihayo (火之夜藝速男神) or Hinokakabiko (火之炫毘古神). |
Kagutsuchi (加具土 or カグツチ) is the last god born from Izanagi and Izanami in Japanese mythology. He was ablaze the moment he was born, and caused Izanami's death by burning away her genitals. Blind with rage, Izanagi killed his son with his sword; the blood that flew from Kagutsuchi's corpse and Izanagi's blade gave birth to various other deities.
The deity, often referred to as a fire god, is revered for his perpetual flames and hot forges. He is also revered in Japanese games, where he is depicted in items and weaponry.
Role in Games[]
Nobunaga's Ambition[]
Kagutsuchi is a 70-level giant humanoid boss in Nobunaga no Yabou Online, surrounded by fire servants. Defeating him grants gifts like magatamas, spears, or dolls. Kagutsuchi has appeared in expansions like Tenka Mugen no Shou and Guntama.
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de[]
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 6 presents him as an evil serpent deity. Kagutsuchi-no-kami (迦具土神) is the story's main antagonist. His powers are destructive and include flight, fire-breathing and trapping its prey in psychic curses and delusions.
Kagutsuchi-no-kami, a serpent deity near Midagahara, Toyama, resurrected with yin energy and resides near the region's volcanic ash. Rural towns believed the surrounding scenery was blessed by the serpent deity. A diviner predicted the god's dreaded rising fifty years ago, but members censored the oracle, leading to a drop in awareness of the malevolent god.
Arima came into contact with Kagutsuchi-no-kami during his boyhood. The boy thought the god granted him spiritual capabilities in an ancient ritual exchange; in reality, Kagutsuchi marked Arima as one of his pawns. Weak willed individuals underwent a similar procedure before and became the god's mindless puppets. He can possess them whenever he deems fit. Seishiro is the main avatar for the god for the majority of the story.
The adabana experiments in Tokyo has fostered enough yin energy to harness Kagutsuchi-no-kami's soul. His soul spawns vengeful spirits from the depths of Ryounkaku. He instinctively searches for Azusa to fuel his rebirth. At first, her priestess powers are too weak for him to track. The stronger her powers become, the easier of a target she is to find. Kagutsuchi-no-kami cannot find her unless she is outside a protective barrier and conscious —since yin-yang energies are not apparent to him when she sleeps. She may or may not become aware of Kagutsuchi's hunt for her prior to the final battle.
Fueled by the negativity of Seishiro's defeat, Kagutsuchi-no-kami resurrects from Ryounkaku's basement at the end of every story route. His rebirth is the parallel world's explanation for the Great Kanto earthquake. Azusa realizes the god's intentions for her and chooses to summon the god directly to her in many stories, wanting to defeat it on her own terms and protect the capital. His defeat by Azusa's company completes her priestess duties.
Personality[]
Haruka Kagutsuchi-no-kami is an arrogant and cruel soul. He has nothing but spite for humanity and all living things, believing his resurrection is divine retribution. If he appears sweet, it is a heartless ruse to manipulate his victims.
Quotes[]
- "Insolence!"
- "My thanks for bringing the priestess to me. Now, bring me what is mine."
- "Defy me, will you. You shall not escape."
- "I have been summoned to consume this world. You cannot kill me!"
Fighting Style[]
Kagutsuchi-no-kami is a powerful opponent who can hop across the board, creating random battle participants and creating Flame squares on the map. He is weak to Water and can be defeated with Fire or Metal talismans. To make the fight easier, lower difficulty, use talismans for offense and support, and summon a spirit talisman with healing capabilities if yin energy is available.
