[edit] Origin
A kind warrior named Shino fought Daimajin some years ago and won. He trapped the spirit of Daimajin inside a stone statue. When evil servants of the king tried to crack the statue by hammering an iron bolt into its' forehead, it started to bleed!! They stirred the wrath of Daimajin and the mountainside crumbled. The ground shook and cracked and the evil men fell into hell. Daimajin then attacks the city. He kills the king and crushes the fortress. Then the demon attacks the farmers and the princess saves them from him because her teardrops fell on his foot. Daimajin left her and went back to his stone altar. The next time, he was a statue on an island. This time, the evil men, actually explode the statue, but Daimajin returns and destroys them. The last time, he lives in a mountain. When the evil warlord starts to capture people from all over the country, Daimajin returns and punishes him.
[edit] Way of Fighting
Daimajin is almost invincible. He attacks mercilessly and punishes the evildoer with a violent and horrible death. He cannot be stopped unless there is a kind act. Then he will leave.
