Some day I should actually learn Japanese so I can read Quin Saga in full and the treasure trove that's out there of cool JP hobby magazines.

    Never played SMT and I'm googling the character now. Might have drawn inspiration from Guin from the looks of it. King from Tekken was inspired by the novels and parts of Berserk were too.

      Ima pull from the wiki on ose. I'm guessing the artists saw Guin and Def said "hells yes" for ose like you said

      Ose, also known as Osé, Oze, Oso or Voso, is the 57th demonic spirit of the Ars Goetia and a great president of Hell. He first appears as a leopard, but after some time will take the form of a man. He gives skill in all liberal sciences and true answers concerning divine and secret things. He can change any men into any shape the exorcist may desire, and the one that is changed will not know it.

      He can also put them in a state of insanity in which the victim will believe that their identity has changed. The delusion, however, will only last for an hour. Ose governs over 30 legions of spirits.

      His name seems to derive from Latin "os," mouth, language, or "osor," that who abhors
