- — In-Game Description
The Demons Warriors are a group of demonic entities from the Spirit Realm that first appeared in Chapter 6: Season 1. They are ruled by a powerful evil being who bound their leader, Shogun X, to its service.
They are the main antagonists of Chapter 6: Season 1.
Overview[]
The Demons are an ancient threat to Oninoshima which first emerged long ago - sometime after the creation of the Masks of Power. They fought during the Shattering War, before being banished to the Spirit Realm thanks to Dragon Portals.[1]
After the war, magic was banished from Oninoshima as well in order to avoid the reopening of Spirit Realm portals - however the demons managed to return ages later after a Zero Point shard crashed on the Island, reawakening magic across Oninoshima and opening the portals to the Spirit Realm once more.

History[]
"The Shattering War"[]
The Demon Warriors played a role in the Shattering War - a conflict sparked by the River Guard[4] and Oninoshima's fear of the creation of Masks of Power by the ancestors of Daigo, Jade, and Kendo[5]. The war culminated in Nightshift Forest at a site known as Battle's End, where the Demons were defeated, the Masks of Power were shattered, and magic was banished from the Island as a protective measure.
In the aftermath, the people of Oninoshima united to seal the Demons' portals, cutting off access to the Spirit Realm entirely. The Fox Clan was blamed for the Shattering War incident, as the masks had been crafted by their suppliers.[6]
Within the Spirit Realm, The Night Rose encountered Shogun X and they had a relationship of trust.[7] She trained's his army to make them powerful warriors,[8] but for unknown reason, Shogun X betrayed her and used a massive Oni Mask known as "The Puppeteer" to string her up and bind her to his service. Since that day, The Night Rose swore to obtain vengeance.
Chapter 6: Season 1[]
A shard of The Zero Point arrives onto Oninoshima, alongside strangers from the island of Helios. As a result of the shard's landing, magic has re-emerged, and the abandoned portals are reopened for the demons of old to return across Oninoshima[9] - including Shogun X, the Demon Warriors' leader.
Together, they threaten the Island dwellers, but in the process, gain resistance from Hope and Jones, whom have teamed up with the High Stakes Club,[10] alongside the reluctantly reunited forces of the River Guard and the Fox Clan.
Now that the Zero Point Shard has restored the magic of Oninoshima, the Shattering War begins to repeat itself - with Daigo determined to continue work on the magical masks of old through dark magic and his ownership of The Thousand Faces[11] to harness the power needed to enter the Demon Warriors' Spirit Realm for himself.[12]
Later, Kendo, one of Hope's new associates, enlists the help of The Looper to investigate the resurgence of demons on the Island. The Looper agrees and begins hunting the Demon Warriors.
They are soon contacted by Kendo's sister: Jade, who is also working with Hope. The latter seeks to learn more about the Island's magic. After helping her place Spirit Charms across the Island, The Looper collects demon essence to study their nature and delivers it to Hope. Hope reveals she is searching for an artifact akin to Pandora's Box,[13] stating she wasn't surprised by the island's current situation - suspecting it to be connected with the reawakening of Oninoshima's myths and ancient magic, as well as the demons.
Later, The Looper travels to Battle's End alone to investigate the return of magic. Sensing ancient magical resonance, they deduce it is connected to the demons, their rage, and the Spirit Realm. They conclude that something ancient and powerful is stirring the Island's magic.[14]
Sometime after, Kendo calls upon The Looper once more - reporting that Jade is missing.[15] He suspects their older brother: Daigo, is involved as Daigo has been experimenting with dark magic.[16] Kendo claims to have seen Jade through a portal but dismissed it as a hallucination. However, when The Looper looks through the portal, they also see her - and hear her mention a shard.[17]
Kendo sends The Looper to investigate Daigo's shop: The Thousand Faces, where they discover an underground hideout. Inside, they find various masks imbued with traces of dark magic, a painting of Daigo giving a mask to Jade, and a machine pulsing with dark energy.
They notably examine a Sprite cage, a worrying sight to The Looper,[18] as well as a broken Mask of Power from long ago - though Kendo warns The Looper that the mask should never be repaired, for both of them view the masks as dangerous[19] - thus Kendo stays away from using them, similarly to Mizuki.
Upon confronting Daigo, The Looper learns that Jade had actually been cursed by the demons, and that Daigo created a mask to protect her.[20] However, the mask amplified her powers, trapping her in the Spirit Realm. Despite his regrets, Daigo insists he made the mask to keep her safe.[21] Upon gathering all the information they could, The Looper reports their findings back to Kendo.
After sharing his suspicions about the artifact that Hope was seeking, Kendo tasked The Looper with investigating the comet. However, The Looper discovered that the comet had been stolen by demons. Continuing their investigation into the connection between the comet and the demons, The Looper and Kendo found a Splinter of the shard. Kendo instructed The Looper to deliver it to Hope, who then urged them to search for additional Splinters.
To gather clues about the other Splinters, The Looper consulted the Tanukis of Nightshift Forest. The Tanukis agreed to provide information if The Looper solved their riddles. After successfully completing the riddles, they led The Looper to a Splinter at the center of the forest.
Understanding the connection between demons and the Splinters, Hope asked The Looper to confront demon warriors to gather further clues. This led to the discovery of a map pointing to a third Splinter. Hope then realized that these fragments were actually pieces of The Zero Point and that they were crucial to saving Jade.
Kendo directed The Looper to Demon's Dojo to use the Spirit Forge and craft Blades imbued with the Splinters. However, uncertain about how to harness their power, Kendo suggested seeking assistance from The Night Rose. To gain access to her help, The Looper had to temporarily defeat The Puppeteer.
Once freed, The Night Rose revealed that she was bound by a powerful demon and needed permanent liberation to provide answers regarding the comet and the Spirit Realms. She recognized the potential of the Splinter Blades, judging them strong enough to free both her and Jade. Before departing, she entrusted the Splinter Blades to Daigo.
Hope later requested The Looper's assistance in locating the comet. Their investigation revealed that someone had moved it to the Frozen Spirit Realm portal. Kendo, pondering the portal site, revealed that this was part of Daigo's plan to rescue Jade and that he had received the Splinter Blades from The Night Rose. Kendo emphasized the importance of understanding the link between the Spirit Realm, the comet, and the demons.
Hope called upon The Looper once more, sharing her theory about the source of Shogun X's immense power. She requested The Looper to fight Shogun X and bring back part of his essence. After completing this mission, Hope, who had not learned about The Looper's past from Jones, revealed the truth—the comet was a fragment of The Zero Point. Though The Looper already knew this, it confirmed the artifact's pivotal role in their quest.
Daigo heads to the frozen Spirit Realm portal with the Splinter blades of The Zero Point granted to him by The Night Rose.[22] He begins his plans to free Jade from the Spirit Realm for good, determined to not let anybody stop him.[23]
Utilizing his chaos magic, Daigo sits upon a magical orb-like aura and activates one of his six powerful masks onto the portal, causing him to be able to feel its power.[24] However, an unidentified being, perhaps an illusion cast by something, tried to trick Daigo by taking the form of Jade, but failed.[25] During this time, Daigo talked with several persons, including Hope, telling her they're similar as well as Jones, asking him about his motivations. He also began to feel a dark presence in the spirit realm and asked The Night Rose what it was.
As Daigo's ritual progresses, he continues to be tormented by an entity taking the form of Jade. However, he refuses to be deceived by it. He warns his brother and The Looper about the dark presence lurking within the Spirit Realm, describing it as powerful and filled with malice. During a conversation with Jones, Daigo speaks about his motivations regarding the Shard, while also confiding in Hope about the immense pressure he feels from being "special." [26]
Later, the entity resembling Jade ceases its torment, but Daigo reveals to The Looper and Kendo that the dark presence has begun speaking to him. This mysterious being appears to know him, his family, and his entire bloodline. Through this revelation, Daigo comes to understand that Shogun X, who had previously bound The Night Rose, is himself bound to that dark force. [27]
Driven by pride, Daigo believes he alone is strong enough to face the darkness within the Spirit Realm, a conviction he shares with The Night Rose. [28] He later confesses to Hope that, as the eldest son and a genius, he feels responsible for fixing everything. In his ongoing discussion with Jones, he acknowledges the seductive power of the Shard and questions whether Jones is truly capable of resisting its influence, subtly revealing his own doubts about him. [29]
As the ritual nears its conclusion, Daigo shares his plan with Kendo and speaks about what he intends to do afterward. He then confides in Hope, expressing his sense of responsibility not just for his family but also for The Island, noting that she likely feels the same way. Turning to Jones, he challenges him, asking whether he will lock away the power of the Shard or use it for his own ends. In a conversation with The Night Rose, Daigo reflects on how, in another life, they might have been allies—or even friends. On the final day, Daigo speaks with Hope, questioning whether they will be friends or enemies in the near future. He then bluntly tells Jones that he does not trust him and refuses to let him near the Shard. Before the confrontation begins, he asks The Night Rose to watch over his siblings. Later, Daigo gifts The Looper magical items for battle, as his Chaos magic thrives on conflict.
The Confrontation Event[]
Armed with the Kintsugi Mask forged from the six other masks of the ritual, and the Splinter Blades crafted from the splinters of The Zero Point by The Looper and granted to him by The Night Rose, Daigo unfolds its magic in the the Spirit Realm portal to pull Jade back into the physical world. However, before he can succeed, Jade is violently dragged back into the Realm, and Shogun X emerges from the portal to stop him. Shogun X seizes Daigo by the face, triggering the power of his mask, which causes both of them to grow into towering forms. Shogun X then brutally assaults Daigo, absorbing energy from those around him through his Void magic and the open Spirit Realm portal. Despite the overwhelming power difference, Daigo seizes an opening and strikes back.
A fierce battle of swordplay and magic unfolds, with Shogun X maintaining the upper hand. When Daigo abandons his blades and attempts to use his Explosive Screaming Masks, Shogun X skillfully dodges and lands a devastating slash, mortally wounding him. As Daigo struggles, Shogun X grabs him by the mask and begins absorbing energy once more, preparing to finish him. In a last, desperate move, Daigo fuses his Splinter Blades into one and slashes through Shogun X's arm, freeing himself. With a final, decisive strike, he cuts through his enemy, dealing a fatal blow. Shogun X's accumulated energy erupts in a violent explosion, tearing through the portal and sending a shockwave that blasts Daigo away. In the aftermath, the Spirit Realm portal glows gold, releasing waves of radiant energy. Freed from the dark presence, Jade finally escapes.
Epilogue[]
Jade is finally freed and immediately asks to see The Looper to discuss what comes next. She reveals that demons tried to break her but ultimately failed. However, she warns that the Dark Presence now possesses the Shard and has a plan. She expresses doubt that either of her brothers is strong enough to stop it, though she is particularly concerned for Daigo. She also reveals that the Dark Presence seeks to claim everyone—but especially Daigo—though she does not yet understand why. Meanwhile, The Night Rose is freed from her curse and begins considering training new warriors, just as she once did for Shogun X's army before he bound her. However, both she and Jade caution The Looper about the golden energy emerging from the portal, warning that it will bring greed, conflict, and chaos.
As Kendo celebrates Jade's return, he feels indebted to The Night Rose and asks how he can repay her. At the same time, the siblings attempt to convince Daigo that he has done enough, fearing that his reckless pursuit of his goal will lead to disaster. Kendo, for the first time, fully understands that Daigo is not just a frustrated genius—he is someone who has spent his life protecting his siblings at any cost. Elsewhere, Hope and Jones prepare for dark and dangerous times ahead now that the demons have the Shard. The Night Rose shares their concerns, while Jones, for now, chooses to trust her. On the side of the Demon Warriors, a new Shogun is elected to take the place of Shogun X. In a chilling display of loyalty, the new leader not only continues Shogun X's mission but also takes up his very name, ensuring his legacy of war endures.
