Game Appearances

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon

Obariyon is featured in the Case File "Fear of Betobeto," where Raidou looks into the existence of an entity, supposedly Betobeto, that seems to be following the Case File client in Kasumidai. While looking around Kasumudai, Raidou is ambushed by a swarm of Obariyons, who are revealed to be who the client thought was Betobeto. Giddy, due to how fast they have become from following around other people, the Obariyons attack Raidou to demonstrate their speed. After defeating all the Obariyons, the sole Obariyon remaining admits that being beaten by Raidou saved them, as they were afraid they could not stop speeding up once they started. Their defeat completes the Case File.

Nomenclature

Obariyon's name is believed to come from Okinawan おばりよん (obariyon, "give me a piggyback ride").
