Qitian Dasheng, also known as Wu Kong and Seiten Taisei, is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Seiten Taisei is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese term Qítiān Dàshèng (齊天大聖)[a] meaning "Great Sage, Heaven's Equal", a title claimed by Sun Wukong, one of the main characters of the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West.

Design

Most of Seiten Taisei's designs in the Megami Tensei franchise have the character 斉 ("Equal") on his clothing, an allusion to his claim to be equal to heaven.
