Wha-!? Oh, hellolo. Me ish... Shuten-douji, but you... can call me Shuten. Or Shu, when I like youuuu....
One of Japan's Three Great Monsters. The boss that governed the Oni within the castle structure on Mount Ooe during the Heian period. There are various theories about Shuten-douji’s origins. There is a theory where she is considered the child of a human and the Great God Ibuki of Mount Ibuki (= Yamata no Orochi), and there is another theory where she is considered the heaven-sent child of Mount Togakushi (= Kuzuryuu). At any rate, she is the child of a Dragon God, possessing a shared background with Sakata Kintoki. Due to her anecdotes and vestiges, she is classified as an "Anti-Hero".
Legend
In this work, it is Ibaraki-douji who is the boss and ringleader of the Oni on Mount Ooe, and Shuten-douji was perching on the Oni palace of Mount Ooe as some kind of house guest————that was the taken point of view. However, the one who is viewed as an ancestor to the gods, Ibuki-douji, that is, the existence of Shuten-douji, is certainly adequate enough to draw the attention of the authorities of ancient Kyoto, Abe-no-Seimei and the others. Surely, the most dangerous existence among the Oni of Mount Ooe is no doubt Shuten-douji, so to speak.
Whether she is the direct “child” of the Great God Ibuki, or whether she is a “descendant” who succeeded its blood, it is not clear. In the end, Shuten-douji herself does not speak about her origins. The alias called Ibuki-douji is just something attached to her by Ibaraki-douji, who saw the true nature of Yamata no Orochi’s power in her. It may not be discovered that the person herself has forgotten her past and the likes of it. As long as there is beguiling alcohol, brilliant banquets and enjoyable performances, she has no regrets.
And yet… it seems that Shuten-douji had not completely forgotten her past regarding the existence of Sakata Kintoki, one who possesses origins similar to her own (being the child of a man-eating witch and a Dragon God), the man hanging in her mind ever since the time when he was young.
Shuten-douji's connection with Sakata Kintoki continues on since that time. She, in the form of a beautiful girl, met Kintoki, who then fell in love with her. Given that this companion was easy to tease on some occasions, she had a good time while being accompanied with snacks and alcohol. As far as Shuten is concerned, they are no more than drinking bouts, but as far as Kintoki is concerned, they are demonic banquets that would kill him if he took the atmosphere lightly.
« To struggle for life while intoxicated in alcohol. Is it not romantic to cheat each other while hugging our bodies? »
(That is Shuten's eloquence.)
Because of the disappearances of young men and princesses at the Imperial Capital happening one after another, Abe-no-Seimei did a divination and ascertained the matter to be the deed of Shuten-douji. Raikou’s Four Heavenly Kings, lead by Minamoto-no-Raikou himself, was ordered to subjugate her, arriving at the Oni’s castle while dressed in itinerant Buddhist monk attires. At the banquet, Raikou and the others made Shuten-douji and her group drink poisoned sake, then attacked them while they were asleep, punishing them. The removed head of Shuten-douji’s attacked Raikou, but it is said that the attack was thwarted due to the latter’s helmet given by a god. They used foul play in killing Shuten-douji, which Kintoki greatly regretted to the point of wanting to wish for Shuten-douji's revival to meet her once again.
Under the moonlight, a man-eating flower is glamorously in full bloom while stealing away the eyes of the people watching. A demon wearing a girl’s form, narrowing her eyes while licking her lips seductively. It may not be known that although her outward appearance properly resembles a human girl, Shuten-douji is not a human being. Even though she seems to communicate with words like a human being, she is essentially a different being. Her preferences are similar to a human’s, but for her to love something is but a theory, from the idea that if she suddenly put her hand on the things she loves, it would not be understood by humans as love. Although she knows love, requests love, and embraces love, it is impossible to overlap that love with the right people. Her love is accompanied with blood; her love tears one’s heart. Her impulse hidden under her white naked body is surely rising and swelling, being distorted, and rolling around. Therefore, she is a demon.
Just like how she was when she was alive, going wherever her fancy takes her, she thinks and behaves as she pleases, not being any different in the present days nor in the bygone days. Also, she is a collector of antiques and rarities, even having a keen interest in the Red Dragon Ulna dwelling on Kintoki’s arm. She appears to attach an importance on rarity and on the elegance of their appearances regarding those items, so she is incompatible with the King of Heroes who attaches an importance on the items’ history and performance.
Regarding the Providential Oni Poison Sake, Shuten-douji regards it as her wine. It is something for her alone. At first, it was something brought by General Raikou, but it is her's now. Shuten had thought that it was fine drinking this, even if she died, but having a wine without the moon and its silver is unthinkable to her. Shuten likes this wine, citing it as a very sweet drink, as the essence of sweetness.
Although Ibaraki-douji was the boss of all the Oni on Mt. Oooe, the place where Shuten-douji apparently lived, Ibaraki treated her as her surperior, saying Shuten had something she lacked. Ibaraki states she could have never defeated Shuten-douji. When Shuten-douji was alive, she crossed paths with Sakata Kintoki multiple times. Whether they fought for real, for fun, or for a bet, they always ended in a draw.
Presence Concealment (C Rank): A Skill to erase one’s own presence. As for Shuten-douji herself, she does not have much of a motivation to erase her presence.
Divinity (C Rank): She is a child of Kuzuryuu/Yamata-no-Orochi. Because she falls under the Oni Kind, the rank has dropped.
Intoxicating Aroma of Fruits (A Rank): Targets can be made dead drunk, similar to being charmed even, from one's tone of voice, sigh, or even just their gaze, which possesses the aroma of a fruit's alcoholic scent. If they are beings that do not have the means for magical defense (common people), their thoughts will end up melting completely in an instant. Essentially a Charisma Skill and a charm Skill, it is a composite Skill of both Skills. Even if they are Servants, there is a likelihood for them to feel charmed if they do not have the means to defend against this. It is even possible to eventually throw the targets into insanity.
Oni-kind Demon (A Rank): A Skill that represents the superpower and demonic nature of an Oni. With the exception of oni and those that are Mixed-Blood beings with Oni blood, one is not able to acquire this Skill. It is even a mixed Skill of the Natural Demon Skill, Monstrous Strength Skill, Charisma Skill, Mana Burst Skill, etc., but in Fate/Grand Order, the effects has been adjusted. The form of an oni's Mana Burst is commonly thought of as something related to “Heat”.
Battle Continuation (A+ Rank): The ability to continue combat. Combat is possible even when receiving a decisive fatal wound. Because of the folklore where she attacked Minamoto-no-Raikou.
Shuten-douji's Noble Phantasm is Multitude of Colors - Providential Oni Poison. It is originally the poisonous sake drank by Shuten-douji. The “sake’s” only purpose for her is to pollute the surroundings with poison at once. By manipulating its concentration, she can bestow every bad status ailment. If it is at its greatest concentration, it will decompose all of the living body, leaving nothing but a few bones behind. The gourd for the sake, held underneath her arm, can further change into a weapon that holds a sword in its mouth, and also, it is said to even be a cage that locks up the spoils that fascinated Shuten-douji.
