Beelzebub is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Beelzebub[a] (lit. "lord of a fly" or "Lord Fly") was, according to the biblical book of 2 Kings, the deity worshiped in the Philistine city of Ekron; his cult was probably adopted by the Philistines from Canaanites.[1] It is associated with Baal and, eventually, became the name of a major demon in Christianity and possibly Second Temple Judaism.

In the Second Temple period, Beelzebub (referred to in Greek as Beelzebul)[b][c] was considered the prince of demons by Jews according to the Synoptic Gospels. While called Beelzebul in Greek, the Latin Vulgate uses the spelling Beelzebub. In various forms of Christian literature, Beelzebub is associated with the sins of pride, gluttony, and idolatry, and may or may not be synonymous with Satan.

There is no known Second Temple literature that can confirm Beelzebul's status as prince of demons as presented in the Synoptic Gospels. Later Jewish literature assigns Asmodeus the role of the prince of demons. The Testament of Solomon, a pseudepigraphic text attributed to King Solomon of Israel which may have originally been composed in the Second Temple period, does mention Beelzebul as such. However, this text appears to have undergone significant edits and additions in later centuries,[2] so it is difficult to say whether this was in the original or was a later addition by Christians based on the Gospels.

Beelzebub ("lord of a fly") is most likely a derogatory alteration of Beelzebul, with the latter understood as a transcription of the Hebrew בַּעַל זְבוּל baʿal zəḇûl, meaning "Baal the Prince" (interpreted as "lord of the high dwelling" in some older scholarship). This matches an epithet of deities, including Baal, that is commonly attested in Ugaritic sources.[1][3]

Design

Beelzebub in Dictionnaire Infernal (1863)

Beelzebub has two main appearances in the Megami Tensei franchise.

The first, debuting in Shin Megami Tensei, is a rotund, blue-skinned humanoid wearing a tiger's pelt; the tiger's head is on Beelzebub's right shoulder. This design was intended to represent an ancient cult shaman. According to Kazuma Kaneko, Beelzebub was given a striped tiger pelt because he felt the design was bare and needed more features.[4]

The second design, debuting in Shin Megami Tensei II, is a large fly with a skull-and-crossbones pattern on his wings. This is inspired by Louis Le Breton's illustration of Beelzebub in the 1863 edition of Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal.[5]

Both designs carry a bone scepter capped with a skull and wear necklaces of skulls.

Beelzebub's multiple forms are inspired by Dr. Shinigami's transformation into the Ika Devil in Kamen Rider.[6]

Aside from his two main designs, Beelzebub has had other designs in the franchise. In the Famicom version of Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei, Beelzebub has no sprite, but he is depicted as a small fly in Kyūyaku Megami Tensei: Megami Tensei I. In Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II, Beelzebub appears as a monstrous green fly with a red fleshy mass with a human-like face coming out of the fly's head.

出身地:イスラエル
カナアンの主神「バアル・ゼブル(高い館の王)」が、ユダヤ・キリスト教によって貶められ、悪霊化したとされる。魔界ではルシファーに継ぐ高い地位を持ち、「蝿の王」「糞の王」「悪魔の天使長」など数々の異名を持つ。「蝿の王」と呼ばれる由来は数多く存在し、古代カナアンの人々には、蝿は新たな魂を運ぶ霊魂の象徴であり、バアルもまた王として深く信仰されていた為という説や、本来の名前である「バアル・ゼブル(高い館の王)」は、偉大な魔術王ソロモンを連想させることから、ヘブライ語で「蝿の王」を意味する「バアル・ゼブブ」に置き換えられたという説もある。

Shin Megami Tensei

On the 6th basement floor of the Basilica, Louis Cyphre tells the Hero about an island to the west that has something that would aid him. When the party enters the building on the island, he is greeted by Beelzebub, who is surprised to see how young they are. If the Hero is Chaos-aligned, Beelzebub disregards it and offers to join his party as a favor to Louis Cyphre. If the Hero is Law or Neutral-aligned, Beelzebub wonders why Louis Cyphre is so afraid of them and attacks them in his stead. When defeated, Beelzebub realizes why Louis fears them and dies.

Shin Megami Tensei II

Beelzebub can be encountered in Keter Castle, where he will recognize Aleph as the human that Lucifer told him about. On the Neutral route, Beelzebub is interested in testing Aleph's power and transforms into his fly form to attack him. After he is defeated, he says that although his wounds are mortal, the death of a demon is temporary, and he would gladly serve Aleph if he were to fuse him a new body. On the Law route, Beelzebub is enraged with Aleph's goal of killing Lucifer and attacks him so that Lucifer will not be bothered by him, though when he is defeated, he admits how much he underestimated him. On the Chaos route, Beelzebub will not fight Aleph and will simply offer his services through fusion.

Shin Megami Tensei V

Beelzebub is mentioned after defeating Baal at the end of the subquest "The Bull God's Lineage", where Baal curses Beelzebub and Lucifer for depriving him of the full extent of his power before dying, as Beelzebub splitting from Baal robbed him of his power.[7]

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

In the Canon of Vengeance, Beelzebub appears in Taito when the Nahobino approaches the base of Bethel's Indian branch. As the Nahobino approaches, Beelzebub deals the killing blow to Vasuki and claims the Key of Austerity from him. He then turns to the Nahobino, praising him as the Nahobino chosen by Lucifer. He questions the motivations of the Nahobino, expressing satisfaction should he answer with a desire to claim the Throne of Creation and disappointment if he claims he is motivated to get revenge against Tiamat, even though Beelzebub agrees she must be stopped. Regardless, he states that though he doesn't agree with Lucifer's methods, his respect for the Lord of Chaos outweighs any doubts, and then challenges the Nahobino to see if they are worthy of Lucifer's favour. Upon defeat, the Nahobino claims the Key of Austerity.

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army

Once Raidou has reached the Dragon Cave right before the final boss, he gains access to the Training Hall's bottom floor, where he can be accosted by a mysterious voice that demands he bring the Phantom Skull, Tyrant Spawn, and Emblem of Hell to prove Raidou is worthy of facing it. These items are obtained by clearing the Hyakki Yakou battles on the Training Hall's fifth, seventh, and ninth basement floors, with the latter two fights requiring the moon phase to be at new and full moon, respectively. Once Raidou has gathered the items necessary, Beelzebub appears to grant him an audience and attacks him to test his power. After being defeated, Beelzebub is initially incredulous that he was bested by one so young, but promptly lets go of his indignation and acknowledges Raidou's strength. He offers his service through fusion before disappearing.

On Yuzu's 8th Day, Belzaboul is working together with the Shomonkai and is fought in Roppongi Hills along with Azuma.

Jack Bros.

Beelzebub is named Belzoff in Jack Bros. In the story, he serves as the main antagonist against the Jack Brothers, disliking them and wanting to make them disappear through preventing their re-entry to the World of Fairies. He is given the title "King of the Monster World" (i.e. the Makai).

Beelzebub appears on floor 20 Crystal Palace, floor 60 of the game overall. He initially appears in his human form alongside two Paradice, and attacks with three fireballs similar to Lamia. Once defeated, he transforms into his fly form, and attacks with strings of flies that can be killed with the player character's shots. The Paradice serve as the boss's main source of damage.

In Jack the Ripper's ending, after the player character and Pixie escape through the portal, Beelzebub declares, standing on Backbeard, that he will get the Jack Brothers next Halloween.

Pixie says the following before facing him.

Finally, this is the last floor! Your last opponent is Belzoff, ruler of the Monster World. He's a lot stronger than those other guys. Give it your best shot, Jack!

Notes

  1. Hebrew: בַּעַל זְבוּב, romanized baʿal zəḇûḇ
  2. Greek: Βεελζεβούλ, romanized Beelzeboúl
  3. In the Septuagint, the deity mentioned in 2 Kings is instead called Βάαλ μυῖα Baal myîa (Baal the fly), and not Beezebul. Symmachus's later translation into Greek, however, uses the Beelzebul form.
