Jigoku's reign of terror was not confined to the underworld—he became a living nightmare, casting a shadow over the very streets of Earth. As a prince of Hell, he was more than just a figure of power; he embodied destruction itself, a force that seemed to exist only to tear apart everything in its path. Known as both the God of Terror and the Creator of Satanism, his philosophy was rooted in unrestrained violence and suffering. He was not merely a killer; he was a philosopher of pain. For Jigoku, true power could only be gained by imposing fear on the world. His belief that suffering was the means by which humanity would be shaped into something greater became the foundation of his hellish creed.

Throughout his violent reign, Jigoku sowed death and despair wherever he went. His most infamous acts were the New York Genocide and the Los Angeles Massacre—two brutal events that left more than 200 million people dead across the globe. These were not calculated military campaigns but senseless massacres carried out solely to satiate his sadistic thirst for blood. For Jigoku, every life extinguished was a testament to his unchallenged power, and he reveled in the suffering of the innocent. Cities were left in ruin, entire populations decimated without reason or remorse. No one—man, woman, or child—was spared from his wrath.

At the heart of Jigoku's reign was his twisted ideology, one of ultimate destruction and domination. It was this belief that birthed Satanism—the belief system that would later influence his son, Akuma Ma Tori. Unlike conventional religions, Jigoku's Satanism was not about worship but about embracing the chaos of the world. It was a call to arms for those who wished to align themselves with suffering, cruelty, and violence. The core tenet was simple: strength could only be forged in the crucible of torment, and only those capable of enduring pain and inflicting it upon others would rise above the weak to claim true power.

Jigoku’s methods of control—genocides, serial rape, and unrestrained torture—were not incidental but integral to his strategy. These acts were tools of enforcement, means by which he could spread his violent philosophy across the globe. His cruelty was not merely for power; it was an effort to reshape the world in his image. The creation of the Tori no Ichizoku clan was a key part of his plan. This vast criminal organization became an instrument of terror, flourishing under his influence. The clan’s motto—"kill for power, wealth, and survival"—served as both a creed and a call to arms. It enabled Jigoku to recruit thousands of followers, transforming them into instruments of his horrific will. The Tori no Ichizoku clan spread rapidly, its influence growing to dominate both North and South America. However, it was his actions in South America that would lead to the formation of the South American Anti-Hero Organization (S.A.A.H.O.) in 1940.

The violence Jigoku unleashed in South America was particularly brutal. Entire regions were left in ruin as his presence toppled governments and crushed local militias. Resistance movements, too weak to counter his power, were annihilated. The sheer scale of his terror spurred the creation of S.A.A.H.O., a covert group designed to push back against the atrocities committed by Jigoku and his followers. Born out of necessity, S.A.A.H.O. would eventually rise to prominence, driven by those who survived Jigoku's wrath and sought revenge for the horrors he had inflicted.

Even among demons, Jigoku was a figure of unmatched evil. Lucifer, infamous for his own cruelty, recognized Jigoku as a force of chaos greater than even his own influence. Jigoku was not just another demon; he was a harbinger of destruction. His violence was not motivated by strategy but by pure madness, a relentless need to impose fear and suffering for their own sake. Even the rulers of Hell, usually unfazed by brutality, distanced themselves from him, deeming his methods too extreme, even for the damned.

Despite the growing disdain from his peers in the underworld, Jigoku embraced his title as the "God of Terror." He believed that his reign of violence was justified—that it was the natural order of the world. In his eyes, there were no innocent lives—only those who could take life and those who would have theirs taken. This twisted philosophy led him to believe that his actions were a form of divine right, that the world itself was his domain to terrorize. His belief in his own godhood was not about divinity, but about domination through fear.

Jigoku's reign was one of absolute chaos. His violent acts were not merely random—they were calculated to spread his ideology through bloodshed. He sought not only power but control over the essence of fear itself. His name became synonymous with terror, and his legacy was one of torment and ruin. His actions in South America were not only a catalyst for the formation of S.A.A.H.O., but they set the stage for the further spread of his twisted influence. Even as the terror he unleashed continued to shape the Tori no Ichizoku clan, his ideology would go on to shape generations of followers who perpetuated his vision of the world.

The Tragic Creation of Akuma

Jigoku's cruelty extended even to his own bloodline, twisting the relationship between father and son into something horrific. He manipulated Sumi, a human woman, by forcing her into a relationship with him under false pretenses. Jigoku murdered her husband and family, leaving Sumi unaware of the true identity of her tormentor. Disguising himself as her husband, Jigoku raped her, viewing her as nothing more than a vessel to create the perfect heir—Akuma.

Jigoku's ultimate goal was to forge Akuma into a weapon of unimaginable power. To achieve this, he sought to enhance Akuma's demonic abilities by fueling them with hatred, rage, and pain. He rejected Akuma as a son, seeing him only as a tool to further his own power. In this cold and loveless environment, Akuma grew up resenting his father, longing for a normal life—a life free from the manipulation and cruelty that surrounded him. However, Jigoku's influence was insidious. He planted seeds of doubt in Akuma’s heart, convincing him that his mother was a traitor who had betrayed their family—a lie that would haunt Akuma for the rest of his life. Akuma came to despise Sumi, believing her to be complicit in his father’s manipulation, unaware that she, too, had been a victim of Jigoku’s ruthless tactics.

Jigoku’s plan was simple: by forcing Akuma to reject his humanity and embrace his demonic side, he could unlock his full potential. This process was not just about power—it was about domination. Jigoku sought to make Akuma an extension of his own will, an heir who would carry on his legacy of terror.

The Tragic Cycle of Abuse

The relationship between Akuma and his mother was tragically destroyed by Jigoku's manipulation. Sumi, unaware of the true nature of her tormentor, was unable to defend herself or her son. Akuma, raised in a world built on lies and cruelty, rejected his mother in favor of the twisted narrative Jigoku had implanted in his mind. This rejection became a wound that would never heal—a wound that would shape Akuma’s destiny.

Jigoku’s cruel teachings transformed Akuma into the perfect weapon. Cold, calculating, and full of hatred, Akuma embodied his father’s vision of strength—a vision of domination through suffering. However, deep down, Akuma harbored a yearning for something more—something normal, something untouched by the chaos of his father’s legacy. But this dream was impossible. Jigoku’s influence had already ensured that Akuma’s path was set, leading him further into the darkness.

Jigoku's Legacy

Jigoku’s actions left a lasting scar on the world, a legacy that would continue to echo through generations. His cruelty reshaped the Tori no Ichizoku clan, transforming it into a fearsome force of violence and terror. The clan's influence, driven by the ideology Jigoku created, spread across continents, continuing to terrorize the world for decades.

For Akuma, however, Jigoku's legacy was one of brokenness. It was a legacy of abandonment, manipulation, and lost love. Akuma would forever carry the scars of his father's actions. Torn between the desire for power and the longing for a life that had been stolen from him, Akuma’s heart remained in turmoil, unable to escape the shadow of his father’s twisted legacy.

Jigoku’s Appearance

Jigoku’s form was a monstrous titan, standing at a staggering 25 feet tall. His size alone dwarfed most creatures, creating an overwhelming presence that struck fear into all who dared to face him. His body was encased in an intricate network of black and grey scales, resembling a natural suit of armor forged in the depths of Hell. These scales shimmered faintly in the light, creating a volcanic texture that seemed to pulse with a life of its own. Jigoku wore golden armor adorned with features of a lion, dragon, and bird, each symbolizing a different aspect of his dominion over terror.

Dominating his back were his colossal wings, veins of crimson running through them like molten lava. These wings were not only a display of power but also deadly weapons. Spikes jutted from the edges, resembling jagged blades designed for destruction. When fully unfurled, they could block out the sun, casting an ominous shadow over anything in their path.

Jigoku’s jagged teeth, like polished obsidian shards, gleamed menacingly in the darkness, ready to tear through anything unfortunate enough to come near. His talons curved like the scythes of a grim reaper, sharp and gleaming with an unnatural edge, designed for maximum lethality.

Beneath his armor, Jigoku’s body was muscular and defined, radiating a heat that suggested a core burning with an unholy fire. His arms, legs, and torso were predominantly red, transitioning to black and grey at the extremities. His very form exuded raw power—a predator of nightmares, forged for destruction. He was the embodiment of chaos, a living weapon whose very presence was enough to send terror into the hearts of all who dared oppose him.
