If the Hero is on the Neutral route after Tokyo gets flooded, he can visit the Imperial Palace and venture down into B5F where he can meet Masakado. Masakado will say that his duty as a guardian of Tokyo is drawing to an end due to it being worthless to defend in its current state.

After this, multiple pieces of Masakado's equipment surface in the water where Devas' Halls are submerged for the Hero to pick up.

Shin Megami Tensei II

Prior to the events of the story, Masakado's body was cut into six pieces as a consequence of trying to mediate the dispute between the Amatsukami and Kunitsukami, with the latter trying to overthrow the former and gain back their superiority. The Kunitsukami were being used by the forces of Law and Chaos however, and so once the Amatsukami were overthrown, they tore Masakado apart and then betrayed the Kunitsukami, with the forces of Law then sealing them away in shrines around Tokyo so that no one could get in the way of constructing their Millenium Kingdom. Realizing their mistake, the Kunitsukami secretly collected pieces of Masakado's body in the hope of one day being freed and redeeming themselves.

When Aleph visits the Underground, he is asked by Hiruko to retrieve the six pieces so that Masakado may be revived. After visiting each shrine and collecting the pieces from the freed Kunitsukami, the pieces are taken to the Cathedral of Shadows and fused together into his body, though Mido notes that something is still missing. Upon returning to Hiruko, he will give Aleph the soul of Masakado, finally resurrecting him. He thanks Aleph and heads towards Sealed Iwato. Upon reaching the cave, Masakado will open the entrance, allowing Aleph passage inside so that he may free the Amatsukami from their imprisonment.
