Liberation Dx2 A dog-like demon the Liberators encountered in the Aura Gate. He is said to have been born from a certain legend, and appears unused to our world. Though he was being used as a watchdog by another demon, he was able to break free with the Liberators' help. He is a trusty partner that will resolutely face down any foe. The Liberators started calling him "Lost Name" as he didn't have a name of his own.

Shin Megami Tensei

Visionary

Pascal is featured in the "Gnawed Ball" Visionary cutscene in the Game Boy Advance and iOS versions of the game. During the Hero's fifth grade, his mother surprises him by adopting and bringing home Pascal, remembering how he had wanted a pet and hoping that it would cheer him up.[1][2] Pascal is said to have been adopted from a Nakajima, implying that she came from Akemi Nakajima.[3]

Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2

A version of Pascal's demon form called Lost Name appears in Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2, as the manifestation of a tale about a boy and his Cerberus.[4]

In the "Azure Demon Dog: Lost Name" event, he wanders an Aura Gate in search of purpose and is the only Demon there unaffected by a mist turning Demons violent. The Liberators meet the demon dog while investigating this Aura Gate, when the dog saves them from an onslaught of Demons. The dog, initially without a name, takes an interest to the group and explains that the god Vishnu has been controlling Demons with the mist. The Liberators decide to call the dog Lost Name, which he happily accepts and decides to help the Liberators as a token of gratitude.

Lost Name leads the Liberators to Vishnu in the heart of the Aura Gate. The Vishnu, however, is not the real deity, but formally a Devil Downloader in life who had died after his Demons failed to protect him and was subsequently reborn in the god's image. He had created Lost Name to be his obedient guard dog, but lost him when the dog grew self-aware. The Liberators and Lost Name easily overpower the deity, revealing him to be no more than a delusional Chatterskull. In an outrage, the Chatterskull attempts to brainwash Lost Name with the mist. However, Lost Name overcomes it by his decision to find his own purpose and strikes back, killing the Chatterskull. The Liberators escape the collapsing Aura Gate, but realize that Lost Name cannot follow them to the outside world without fading away. Lost Name believes it is his destiny to vanish with the Aura Gate and bids the Liberators farewell with the hope of being reborn as their ally.
