Amatsu Mikaboshi, also known as Ama-tsu-mika-hoshi[1], Ame no Kagase-wo [1], Ame-no-Kagase-o, or Kagaseo, is a star god that appears in the Nihon Shoki.
He is referenced as a rebellious god who refused submission by Take-Mikazuchi and Futsunushi. The two sent Take-ha-dzuchi no Mikoto to subdue him.[1] In some myths, he was born from Kagutsuchi’s blood and is identified with the planet Venus.[2]
Mikaboshi is imprisoned in the Confinement Chambers on the 666th floor. He must be defeated to obtain the Shukukon-Seki, a material required to fuse the Youmetsutou needed to damage Apollyon.
If Raidou is Chaos or Neutral aligned, he becomes available for fusion upon defeat.
