Prior to the events of the story, Masakado's body was cut into six pieces. [[Hiruko (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Hiruko]] asks [[Aleph]] to retrieve the six pieces so that Masakado may be revived. After doing so, 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. He then grants him the Sun Pillar, as well as [[Masakado's Katana]]. He leaves shortly after to rest in order to recover his strength.

Prior to the events of the story, Masakado's body was cut into six pieces as a consequence of trying to mediate a dispute between the [[Kunitsukami]] and the [[Amatsukami]], the gods of Japan that ruled over the earth and heaven respectively. The Kunitsukami had become restless and unhappy with the superiority the Amatsukami had over them, and so when the [[Great Cataclysm]] occurred, they viewed it as the perfect opportunity ally with angels in order to overthrow the heavenly gods, sealing them in the earth to take back the authority they felt rightly belonged to them. The angels were manipulating the Kunitsukami the entire time however, and when the Amatsukami had been taken care of, they tore Masakado apart and then betrayed the Kunitsukami, sealing them away in shrines around [[Tokyo (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Tokyo]] so that no one could get in the way of constructing their [[Tokyo Millenium|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 [[Tokyo (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Underground]], he is asked by [[Hiruko (Shin Megami Tensei II)|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. He then grants him the Sun Pillar, as well as [[Masakado's Katana]]. He leaves shortly after to rest in order to recover his strength.
