Khonsu is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

The young Khonsu
The adult falcon-headed Khonsu

Khonsu[a] is the Egyptian god of the moon and the son of Amun and Mut traditionally depicted as either a mummified youth with a side-lock and a falcon headed human wearing a moon disk. His name means "traveller", reflecting the moons role of moving through the night sky, and is also referred to by the epithets "Defender" "Patherfinder" and "Healer" with worship of Khonsu being centralised in the city of Karnak. After it was destroyed in battle with Set, Khonsu restored Horus' left eye by gifting him a part of the moon. This act is also attributed to Thoth, who is conflated with Khonsu is various myths. In an earlier myth, Ra forbids the gods of earth and sky Geb and Nut from having their children born on any day of the year. To circumvent this, the pair consult Thoth on how they may have their children born, with Thoth gambling with Khonsu for his moonlight over a game of senet from which he wins five days worth of moonlight, allowing Geb and Nut to have one of their five children Osiris, Set, Isis, Horus, and Nephthys each day, thus explaining the 365 days in a year.

Design

In his Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner design by Kazuma Kaneko, Khonsu is depicted as a blue-skinned Egyptian mummy mostly wrapped in linen bandages, and wearing a belt with a moon disk and crescent moon on it. This design was based on what Kaneko believed a "placenta mummy" was. Khonsu's pose is based on Madonna's pose from the music video for her song "Vogue".[1]

In Shin Megami Tensei V, Khonsu received a new design by Masayuki Doi. He is depicted as a young man with green skin wearing a black and gold shendyt with Ancient Egyptian style jewelry such as an Usekh collar, golden bands on his arms and legs, and earrings. His blue hair is tied to the side of his head in a fashion similar to the youth of Ancient Egypt and a Pharaoh's beard from his chin. Atop his head is a sun disk resting atop the crescent moon, along with a Uraeus snake, and he holds an ornate khopesh in his right hand.

As Khonsu Ra, his skin turns red and he now wears the head of a falcon wearing a nemes with his khopesh replaced with a Was sceptre, and the basic sun disk upon the crescent moon is replaced with a sun disk with a Uraeus coming out of it. The black and blue aspects of his clothing and jewelry have been replaced with various shades of gold and red.

The depiction of Khonsu from Shin Megami Tensei V resembles depictions of Khonsu as a youth from Egyptian art, though Khonsu is depicted in Egyptian art with a moon disk instead of a sun disk. The depiction of Khonsu Ra resembles Egyptian depictions of Ra-Horakhty; while the adult Khonsu was often depicted similarly, he had a moon disk resting atop a crescent moon instead of the sun disk with a Uraeus that Ra-Horakhty is depicted with.

Shin Megami Tensei V

Khonsu: The Egyptian god of the moon.

Often portrayed as a mummy with two long braids of hair, he is said to be a reincarnation of the moon itself and holds possession over what's known as the moon ship. He also acts as a companion to the Pharaoh's shadow. Hieroglyphics found in Unas's pyramid depict him as a god who prepares meals for an oppressive, god-devouring king.


Khonsu Ra: The form of the Egyptian god of the Moon, Khonsu, upon gaining the power of the sun god, Ra.

Hidden behind a foreboding mask, he possesses the dual powers of the sun and moon, the day and night, and the living and the dead.

出身地:エジプト

ナイル川中流の都市テーベの月神。ミイラとなった若者の姿であらわされる。

「真理の王」、運命の作者といわれ、神託の交付者でもあったコンスは、悪霊に対して権威を持っていたため、呪文破壊者として崇拝された。

剃髪されたその頭部に、精力のシンボルである「メナト」と月の円盤と三日月を戴いた姿でも描かれる。

このコンスは、ミイラ化されて崇拝されていた王の胎盤を表した神だと思われる。
Translation: Place of origin: Egypt

Moon god of the city of Thebes at the middle course of the Nile River.

Said to be the "King of Truth", creator and origin of fate, and the giver of oracles, Khonsu, as a result of his authority over evil spirits, was worshiped as a spell-destroyer.

He is also depicted with a shaved head and crowned with a "Menat", which is a symbol of energy, a moon disk, and a crescent moon.

It appears that Khonsu was a god who represented the placenta of the king, who was mummified and worshiped.

Game Appearances

Shin Megami Tensei V

Khonsu is the leader of Bethel Egypt, having come into his role after Cleopatra was driven out by the rest of the organisation. While he makes his first appearance at the Pandemonic Summit, he is reference multiple times due to his connection with Miyazu Atsuta. Miyazu reference dreaming of a prince that sailed on a boat through the night sky, and Isis makes retells a story of a prince aiding a sickly girl by providing her with his blood, a fictionalised retelling of Khonsu providing his magatsuhi to alleviate Miyazu's sickness. Isis also ends the story by telling that the prince went to war and died, but kept a supply of his blood for the sickly girl so she may continue to live.

Khonsu's appearance at the Pandemonic Summit has his act the most diplomatically out of all the Bethel leaders, arguing for patience while Odin Zeus and Vasuki demand answers regarding the status of the Creator and Lucifer. However, when the Nahobino speaks to him he expresses disdain for the current world that the God of Law has created, expressing a desire to recreate the world so it may be free of suffering[2], and when Abdiel proclaims that the Condemnation means none can challenge the God of Law, it is Khonsu that draws attention to the Nahobino, asking if his status as a nahobino is proof that the God of Law has chosen him as His successor and prompting Abdiel to try and kill the Nahobino to quash any rebellious sentiments only to be defeated leading to the various branches, including Khonsu and Bethel Egypt, cutting their ties with Bethel.

In Taito, a Dominion requests that the Nahobino travel to the Egyptian branches base of operations in Odaiba so that Khonsu may be removed from the race for the Throne of Creation. Upon travelling to Odaiba, the members of the Egyptian branch reveal that though Khonsu has already found his Knowledge, making him eligible to become a nahobino and seek the Throne, he has chosen to abandon this quest, with the protests of his subjects failing to change his mind. When the Nahobino confronts Khonsu he is unsurprised that an assassin was sent to remove him though he expresses surprise that it is the Nahobino that has come to kill him, and the two battle. Upon his defeat, the Nahobino is able to either kill Khonsu or spare him. Killing Khonsu ends his story and also locks the player out of the True Human ending, however if he is spared he promises that he will not pursue the Throne. Returning to the Dominion after sparing Khonsu has the Dominion express surprise that the Nahobino allowed him to live, but begrudgingly accepts that Khonsu is no longer vying for the Throne.

Khonsu returns at the end of the quest The Winged Sun after Amon attempts to kill the Nahobino and is defeated. Amon questions why, despite regaining the Winged Sun Crest that he once used to wield the power of Ra, he was unable to win, and Khonsu appears to tell his father that he has been denigrated too far to use it's power.[3] Acknowledging this fact, Amon relinquishes the Winged Sun Crest to his son before dying, with Khonsu admitting that he had planned this from the start so that he may claim the power of Ra. He apologises to the Nahobino for his trickery before vanishing.

The Nahobino is later contacted by Isis, who begs the Nahobino to stop Khonsu. She reveals that he has stolen Horus's Head from her and plans to use it along with the Winged Sun Crest to obtain the power of Ra, and that rather than claiming the Throne he instead seeks to use Ra's power to save Miyazu Atsuta from her terminal illness. Isis explains that Miyazu is Khonsu's Knowledge, however her sickness makes her too weak to unite with Khonsu to become a nahobino without her being consumed entirely by Khonsu in the fusion, which is why Khonsu abandoned the quest for the Throne of Creation. Having fallen for Miyazu, Khonsu provided her with his magatsuhi to extend her life and stave off the illness, however eventually this failed to work. Rather than accept her death, Khonsu plotted to transform Miyazu into a god so that she wouldn't be vulnerable to human sicknesses leading to his theft of Horus' Head and the Winged Sun Crest. By the time Isis requests the Nahobino's aid, Khonsu has provided her with so much magatsuhi that Isis claims that she is barely human. While Isis initially aided Khonsu in his goals, seeing the humanity in Miyazu made her doubt if Khonsu's goal was justified and sought to stop Khonsu to prevent Miyazu from being unhappy with what he would do.

The Nahobino travels to the Fairy Village to find Khonsu discussing with Miyazu. Miyazu admits to knowing that he had been healing her with his power, and while thankful asks that he stop. Khonsu refuses, stating that she is too young to have her life cut short and expressing anger that the Creator dealt her an unfair fate. When the pair notices the Nahobino, Khonsu thanks them for their help in the past and reveals his full plan to them in gratitude; In order to prevent Miyazu's death, Khonsu would transform her into a god as the pharaoh's of Egypt were deified. However the traditional method of having their followers faith and belief in their divinity transforming the pharaoh into a god isn't viable for Miyazu, as she is too short on time to form a large enough following to be deified this way.[4] As an alternative, he turned to the power of Ra, as the passage of the title of Ra allowed for Miyazu to become a god through an ancient technique. When the Nahobino responds, Khonsu will grow angered that his attempt to save Miyazu are being obstructed, once again stating that her fate is an unfairly cruel one and fully rejecting the God of Law for forcing it onto her. Combining the Falcon's Head and the Winged Sun Crest into the Falcon God Mask, Khonsu calls upon the power of Ra-Harakhte and dons the mask, transforming into Khonsu Ra and gaining the full power of Ra before attacking the Nahobino.

After being defeated, Khonsu Ra reverts back to Khonsu and reveals that his defeat allows him to fulfill his plan. Isis appears and explains that Khonsu's plan requires his own death, as the ancient way of deifying Miyazu involves her joining with the power of Ra, which can only occur when the current pharaoh that holds Ra's power dies. As Khonsu currently holds the power of Ra, his death can catalyse Miyazu's deification. He cast's a spell as Khonsu Ra that would grant Miyazu Ra's power upon his death, then demands that the Nahobino kills him to complete the ritual, with Isis pleading him not to prevent Miyazu from living the life of a demon and Khonsu arguing that she must be saved from an unjust death and resolving to end his own life if the Nahobino doesn't. Regardless of what the Nahobino chooses, Miyazu will interject and plead with Khonsu not to go through with his plan, telling him that she is happy to live her limited time so long as he is at her side. She reveals that she was aware of Khonsu's plan for some time due to Isis informing her, who apologises for interfering but asks that Khonsu remember that her humanity and desire to use her limited time as best she could was what made him fall for her in the first place, and that y making her a god she would lose that. Khonsu relents and accepts Miyazu's wishes, apologising to the Nahobino and allowing him to call upon his power through fusion.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

In both Canon of Creation and Canon of Vengeance, Khonsu is mentioned in the timed subquest Prince of Her Dreams. Miyazu with talk to the protagonist about how Tao Isonokami's dream mentioned at the start of the game reminded her of a reoccuring dream she has, recounting that she dreams of a prince that sails on a boat through the night sky and how when she wakes up from these dreams she always feels less sick than usual. She asks the protagonist if he can find some meaning to these dreams. The protagonist is able to talk to a member of the school's occult research club who deduces that Miyazu is dreaming of Khonsu, comparing her dream to a tale of Khonsu descending to heal a princess before returning to the moon. After the encounter between the protagonist and Sahori Itsukishima outside the school nurse's office he is able to reveal this information to Miyazu. Miyazu is elated by the information and expresses a desire to visit Egypt though she doubts that would would be able to with her sickness, but she questions why Khonsu would appear as she is not a princess like the example recounted by the occult research club member.

In the Canon of Creation Khonsu's story is largely identical to the original game, however now if the Nahobino chooses to slay Khonsu he will not be stopped and Khonsu will be killed, completing his plan and transforming Miyazu into a god. Miyazu will lament that she never wanted this and would have been happy living her remaining time at his side. When the Nahobino talks to Miyazu, she states that she will use her newfound immortality to wait until Khonsu is reborn so that they may be together. When the Nahobino speaks to Isis, she explains that Miyazu has become a god as the Pharaoh's of old did, comparing her to Cleopatra and how she was deified.[5]

In the Canon of Vengeance Khnosu receives an expanded role. He first appears in Shinagawa after Yuzuru Atsuta is forced to battle the Nahobino under the threat of Eisheth killing Miyazu. When Yuzuru is defeated Eisheth attempts to kill Miyazu only for Ichiro Dazai to appear and summon Aitvaras to attack with a fireball, with Khonsu assisting from a distance by empowering Aitvaras attack and shielding Miyazu from it. When Miyazu is safe and the Qadištu retreat, the Nahobino catches a glimpse of Khonsu as he departs.

Following these events, Khonsu deems the threats to Miyazu too great for Yuzuru to deal with and abducts her from hospital and places her under the protection of Bethel Egypt. When the Nahobino, Tao, Yoko, Dazai and Yuzuru arrive to recover Miyazu, Khonsu explains that while he understands Yuzuru's concern and genuine desire to protect his sister the rising threats are more than he can deal with and that he needs to do what is best for Miyazu's safety. While Yuzuru is initially rattled by Khonsu's words, Dazai rallies him against Khonsu and the group resolves to take Miyazu back by force, making Khonsu reluctantly face them in battle. When Khonsu is defeated, Isis appears with Miyazu who interrupts and begs them to stop fighting. She implores her brother that Khonsu isn't a threat to her and that he can keep her safe, with Yuzuru protesting but ultimately relenting and choosing to trust both her sister and Khonsu who in turn apologises for not being clearer with his intentions regarding Miyazu.

Trivia

  • The myth referenced in the subquest Prince of Her Dreams comes from the Bentresh stela, which records how the princess of Bekhten was ill and when the Pharaoh sent a blessed statue of Khonsu to her she was healed.

You have been condemned to life as a Tyrant, and thus have forgotten your true name of Ra. You cannot use the power of the winged sun as you are now. I'm afraid I can no longer call you my father, Amon." Shin Megami Tensei V (Nintendo Switch).
  4. ↑ "Khonsu: Lately, I have been trying to ascertain a way for Miyazu to continue living as she is. The answer came quite simply. If Miyazu were to become a god like us, then she would no longer suffer. ..... There is a condition, however. In order for a human to become a god, the faith of their followers must convert them into a divine being upon death. Naturally, there is no time for that." Shin Megami Tensei V (Nintendo Switch).
  5. ↑ "Isis: Miyazu has inherited the power of Ra and become the pharaoh. She's just like Cleopatra VII, also a former human from long ago. And like Cleopatra, she has been bound to another fate... How ironic." Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
