After this conversation, Hallelujah is surprised by Abe's sudden arrival, who gives Nanashi Myoko's Disc to summon [[Tenkai]] for information regarding the Tokugawa Mandala. Upon arriving at Tenkai's resting place in [[Midtown]], the party struggle to make sense of the divinity's solution, with Hallelujah assuming Nozomi would fit the criteria until [[Toki]] arrives to act as their solution. At first, he expresses distrust for her which quickly turns into concern when he realizes that she is essentially offering away her sanity. Once she finishes sealing the jars, he is the first to point out her change in demeanor when she thanks the party for saving her. | After this conversation, Hallelujah is surprised by Abe's sudden arrival, who gives Nanashi Myoko's Disc to summon [[Tenkai]] for information regarding the Tokugawa Mandala.

With the Tokugawa Mandala lifted, the party returns to Kinshicho to check on Asahi and Hallelujah asks her how she is dealing with the death of her father. While she reassures him on her condition and requests to rejoin the party, Gaston derides her and calls her weak, leading to Hallelujah grabbing him by his collar and punching him in the face. Angered by his callous remarks, Hallelujah berates him for his stuck-up attitude and being unable to empathize with her | With the Tokugawa Mandala lifted, the party returns to Kinshicho to check on Asahi and Hallelujah asks her how she is dealing with the death of her father.

Angered by his callous remarks, Hallelujah berates him for his stuck-up attitude and being unable to empathize with her. Asahi has to step between them to prevent their fight from escalating. | ||
The next day has the party head to [[Ikebukuro]] to deal with Shesha's reappearance, although with some lingering tension between Hallelujah and Gaston. After killing the serpent for a second time, a somber Hallelujah is approached by Asahi, still feeling guilty for punching Gaston even though he deserved it. She thanks Hallelujah for coming to her defense, but does not want the two to remain at odds with each other. This prompts him to apologize to Gaston, who waves it off as unnecessary. | The next day has the party head to [[Ikebukuro]] to deal with Shesha's reappearance, although with some lingering tension between Hallelujah and Gaston.

Once Flynn is returned to the Hunter Assocation, the ceasefire in Tokyo is called off during the following day's broadcast, meaning that the Ashura-Kai and Samurai have no reason to cooperate with the Hunters anymore. Despite this, Hallelujah has not gotten direct orders to stop trailing after Nanashi and the party and instead remains with them. He tries to encourage Gaston to do the same, but is left frustrated when the samurai decides to follow [[Merkabah]]'s orders to return to [[Mikado]]. | Once Flynn is returned to the Hunter Assocation, the ceasefire in Tokyo is called off during the following day's broadcast, meaning that the Ashura-Kai and Samurai have no reason to cooperate with the Hunters anymore.

Afterwards, Nanashi and the party are tasked to infiltrate Mikado to learn more about Merkabah's plans; the younger members of the group resort to different methods to look older as they do not look 18, with Hallelujah donning a fake mustache. Despite making it to Mikado, the party is apprehended when Merkabah singles them out during a meeting at Aquila Statue Plaza. Though their imprisonment is shortlived, the party rushes to the Monastery to grab their confiscated equipment only to be stopped by [[Azrael]]. Nanashi attempts to fight the angel alone, but is quickly overwhelmed when reinforcements arrive. | |||

Before Azrael can attack any further, Hallelujah steps forward and rejects the angel's notion that humans require the Lord's guidance to survive. He then addresses the party to reassure them that he will always be on their side despite the secret he is about expose. With his fears put aside, Hallelujah transforms into a demon, blasting away the reinforcements and supporting Nanashi in killing Azrael. Once the angel is dead, he explains that he was born a half-breed—having a human mother and a demon father he has never met. He apologizes for hiding the truth, but the party is unbothered by his background and accept him for who he is. | |||
Once the party returns to Tokyo and prepares for Armageddon, Hallelujah receives a message from Abe stating that the Ashura-Kai will side with Lucifer. Initially torn between his loyalty to the gang and his belief to do the right thing, he resolves to stay and fight with the party. As the party makes their way through Camp Ichigaya, he catches a glimpse of Abe in the corridors<!-- {omfg what do you call the Hall of Eternity and Hall of Chaos? is that what they're called? they're like lucifer's domain right. also idk if i should mention that one interaction hallelujah has with the ashura-kai grunts cuz this section is already so long and i feel embarrassed writing this} --> and is later questioned on why he is disobeying orders. Although momentarily reverting to his old timidness due to his insubordinance, Hallelujah is left dazed when Abe tells him to explain in person and he will receive a truth in return. | |||
Once they find Abe in the depths of the Hall of Eternity, the man reveals himself to be [[Samyaza]]: a demon loyal to Lucifer and Hallelujah's father. Samyaza tries to persuade Hallelujah into siding with Lucifer, overwhelming the boy with his words. But after some reassurance from Gaston, Hallelujah reaffirms his decision to do the right thing and transforms to fight his father.<!-- {ok so there's like dialogue before Samyaza dies where Hallelujah mentions how a human father would be proud of his son having grown to be better/more mature but like idk if i should include that or how to} --> Afterwards, he is unsure if killing his father was the right thing to do, but Nozomi comforts him by saying feeling unsure is part of the process.<!-- {idk how to phrase this idek if i want to include this bro} --> | |||
Later, when the party confronts Lucifer in the reactor room, the Ashura-Kai members present worry about the future of the gang without the demon's backing. Here, Hallelujah confesses to killing Abe and declares himself the new head of the Ashura-Kai. The gang members shrink away at the boy's newfound assertiveness and accept him as leader; the news spreads quickly after Armageddon, as even the shopkeepers refer to Hallelujah as "Boss".<!-- {need to insert citation for this later} --> | |||
<!-- {this is where i'd document more stuff that happens in the Cosmic Egg but like Hallelujah doesn't reall have any major moments during this portion of the game ill figure it out later} --> | |||
====Bonds Route==== | |||
If Nanashi chooses to side with his friends and rejects Dagda's plans, Hallelujah and the rest of the party backs him up in the fight against Dagda. Although the party disbands after defeating Krishna and rescuring Flynn, they reunite, Hallelujah included, one last time to slay [[YHVH]]. During the fight, he calls out how much YHVH asks for the belief of people yet never gives anything back in return, seeing belief in him as useless. Once YHVH is defeated, Hallelujah leads the Ashura-Kai in rebuilding Tokyo. <!-- {i want to say its with the help of the hunters but i need to double check on if thats ever explicitly confirmed or if thats only implied in the ending credits. also need to double check the inbox i swear he says something about how tiring the work is lol} --> | |||
====Massacre Route==== | |||
If Nanashi chooses to side with Dagda and abandon his humanity and friends, Hallelujah stands against his decision as he worries about the future of the Ashura-Kai. Before he dies, he laments trusting Nanashi, having sympathized with the situation Nanashi was put in by Dagda. If Nanashi hesitates to kill him, he confesses to being jealous and wishing he was more like Nanashi. | |||
If Hallelujah is chosen as the goddess, he is grateful to be chosen and becomes subservient to Nanashi. <!-- {ok i forgot this until now but every goddess cutscene has the person chosen reiterate that its only gonna be them and nanashi and they can't rely on anyone else ill figure out how to word that not rn} --> | |||
