Is Demon King Nobunaga good?

Demon King Nobunaga's damage plan stacks two separate bonuses, a Divine-trait bonus on her Noble Phantasm and a Power-of-Heaven-trait bonus on her second skill, both against common enemy traits, so hitting a target where both apply deals extreme damage. Against Divine enemies specifically, her finishing blow also tears down protective effects such as invincibility or evasion right before it connects, working directly with her own bonus damage, and her opening skill can even switch the battlefield to Burning on her own, so that second bonus applies no matter what field the quest starts on.

That same opening skill's attack buff builds up across turns and tops out around 70% once fully leveled, but that buff isn't free, it saddles her with a burn effect of her own, and paired with her already thin HP pool, a debuff cleanse becomes close to mandatory.

Strengths

  • Stacks a Divine-trait bonus on her Noble Phantasm with a Power-of-Heaven bonus on her second skill
  • Can set the field to Burning on her own, so the Power-of-Heaven bonus applies no matter how the quest begins
  • First skill's attack buff climbs to around 70% once fully leveled

Weaknesses

  • First skill's attack buff comes bundled with a self-inflicted burn effect, risky given her low HP

Character details

The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga. Her Spirit Origin possesses what could be called the combination of all possible Nobunagas, past, present, and future.

This extremely unique Heroic Spirit's formation was said to only be possible in a certain dimension, but for some reason she has managed to manifest here.

Profile 1

Height/Weight: 154cm, 43kg (Changes depending on her form)

Origin: History

Region: Japan

Alignment: Chaotic-Balanced

Sub-Attribute: Earth

Gender: ?

"By the way, the me that comes out right after is about 165cm, while the biggest me is about 180cm tall. Am I a model or something!?"

Profile 2

Oda Nobunaga. This version is closest to the real Nobunaga's Spirit Origin... Maybe not the most accurate way to put it, but let's just say it is for convenience's sake.

They may have been summoned as an Avenger, but they are closer to their Archer self.

Yet as the enemy of the gods, Buddha, and all creatures, the multitudinous grudges and terror harbored within their body was too much to handle even as a Heroic Spirit, since the Spirit Origin was originally just from an ordinary human. Thus, undergoing multiple Ascensions enabled multiple aspects of Nobunaga to develop. Calling it a multitude of possibilities emerging may sound good on paper, but what actually happens is that one vanishes every time these divergences happen. Nobunaga figured this out, but does not bring it up.

As to armaments, they have gained mysterious weapons like the ultra matchlock rifles and something that resembles a Demon King gatling gun. Don't you think a rotating, rapid-fire matchlock is absolutely badass!?

"Well, whatever form I take, don't you think I'm still the most adorable one out there? And actually, don't you think the biggest me's kinda scary?"

Profile 3

Oda Kippoushi. The name Kippoushi was Oda Nobunaga's childhood name. Since childhood, his peculiar behavior led to many calling him a fool.

This is the form of the young gallant warrior, the most dangerous he would be during the life where he earned his nickname "The Fool of Owari." The ambition and passion positively radiating from him faithfully represents the Spirit Origin of Nobunaga the mercenary.

Also, the sword hanging at his hip is the sword he seized from Imagawa Yoshimoto at the Battle of Okehazama, named Souza Sanmonji.

"Actually I never called myself Kippoushi during that time. But then again, this is probably an easier way to know that we're in this interesting situation where there are other Nobunagas other than me. Wahahahaha!"

Profile 4

Can't Be Helped: A-

This skill is a double-edged sword, burning the body up in exchange for a powerful release of magical energy. Did this judgment of their own fate disappear among the flames, or did it...?

It Is But a Dream: B

The existence of Demon King Nobunaga is a hollow one, due to the Counter Force constantly working against their powerful and heterogeneous state, which makes their Spirit Origin hazy and undefined as well.

Demon King of the Sixth Heaven: EX

A monster whose past was distorted by their reputation in life. Those who possess this skill will change their abilities and appearance. It is very much like the Innocent Monster skill. This is a skill that points to Oda Nobunaga, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, an entity completely different than the Demon King Mara from Buddhism.

Profile 5

『Pāpīyas Reborn, Demon King of the Myriad Heavens』

Rank: A-

NP Type: Anti-Divine

Range: 1 - 99

Maximum Targets: 1000

Hajun Henjou, Sanzen Daisenten Maou.

An aberrant form that contains all the fear and reverence for Nobunaga held by all creatures past, present, and future. That power now surpasses even that of the real Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. Nobunaga transforms into the true demon king, the Demon King of the Myriad Heavens that destroys various deities and Buddhas. This is the final form of the crimson Anti-Hero that incinerates the divine. This is Demon King Nobunaga.

Since this form did not exist in history, the existence itself is unstable, and so the manifestation only lasts a short while.

Additional profile

Demon King Nobunaga. The Nobunaga who is the furthest from all possible Nobunagas, and closest to the abyss. As the self-proclaimed Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, they bear all the fear and reverence directed at the name Nobunaga across all ages, leading them to be reborn as the terribly powerful, but hollow, true demon king.

However, they do not fundamentally deny gods or Buddhas, but rather represent Nobunaga's belief that human potential should be in human hands alone, while gods and Buddhas should be respected but never relied on... "Actually, there's no way I'd ever be divine."

In other words, this is a so-called Innocent Monster, but the life of the Demon King Nobunaga as an Anti-Hero, so prominently seen as an enemy of the gods and Buddha is more akin to that of a demon who is really an ally to Buddhism.

"I am the Demon King Nobunaga... I have surpassed the Realm of Desire and reborn as the enemy of gods, Buddha, and all living beings."

Another thing to note is that the "Demon King Nobunaga" is not the ultimate Nobunaga. While it is one of the strongest forms born from the story of Nobunaga, they are in no way ultimate, but rather they are the manifestation furthest from the truth... They are simply a flame in human form, burning furiously beyond the oblivion.
