WHAT IS THE...

The “Digital Devil Hee-ho Fanbook”, better known as “DDHeehoFanbook”, is a compilation of artists, cosplayers, writers and fans in general from all over the world, which whom have united as a community to celebrate ATLUS’s 30th anniversary. With this project we want to prove how important it is and how much of an impact a video game company, such as ATLUS, can provoke on its fanbase, even though this is just a little slice of a much bigger community among the world. Within the pages of the “DDHeehoFanbook” you may find several timelines of the physical japanese releases for some of the games produced by the company.

Since the overall aesthetics and theme is centered around Megaten, we focused on working only on Megaten related releases. Also, besides the talented submissions of the participants, the fanbook has the support of fan websites in the form of advertisements, to share their individual projects as well. We are proud to said that we were able to gather participants from more than 20 countries around the world to give a big congratulations applause and a huge tribute to ATLUS’s milestone. We thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for producing all these awesome content along these years. Please, enjoy each and every entry.

Dear Atlus, I just want to say thank you, for making Digital Devil Saga. That game changed my life. I wouldn’t excell learning English, wouldn’t wanna learn drawing, would turn a blind eye to voice actors and movies in general if it wasn’t for DDSAT. So, thank you for making it one of free DVDs when my family purchased our PS2 engine.

He was cold

176

The King of Bel was a being of nebulous form, able to assume any necessary configuration and immunize himself to elements and the almighty alike. But he was always cold inside, and nothing, not the flames of the Abyss that veiled him like a second skin, not the physical heat of the tens of thousands of demons in his legions, not the power that burned within could thaw him. When he was alone in the dark, between campaigns in the eternal war, when there was nothing to plan and no-one to fight, he would even shiver, an automatic response to something only he could see and hear, an eternal memory that would never let him have peace. / Somewhere in the past, there had been a fight. It was just a skirmish; Just rogue, desperate angels fighting on the street in the middle of the day. Somewhere further back, there had been a conversation. “How do you know what to fight for?” Kazuya asked. It took a few moments for Atsuro to answer. It was the middle of the night, they were on watch, and he had been nodding off. “Huh? Why are you asking?” The power of Bel writhed in his soul like a parasite, always growing and wanting. It wanted to run free. It wanted to destroy. Against his better

LIZARD

judgment, he let it. “Because I don’t know what to fight for. I’ve never thought about what I want. I didn’t think it mattered. I was never going to matter. But now that I might have this power…” “You’re worried about what you’ll do with it.” Two of his demons flanked him, but he didn’t need them, or the people with him. Why did he ever think he needed anyone? He left them behind and charged ahead, obliterating angels in either a blue conflagration or a blinding lightning storm. Corpses of every sort fell smoldering onto the pavement. He barely heard the rest of the battle over the roar of his magic. Kazuya nods, both because he’s right and because it’s easier than explaining further. He’s more worried that he’s not worried. The power felt good; He could already sense what little he had tugging at him like a riptide. He didn’t know what he would let it do. “I want to live. Beyond that… I don’t know what I want.” It rushed through him, hazing his senses. Everything else disappeared. Nothing could stop him. It was completely intoxicating; buoying him up until he felt like could walk on clouds, burning him inside and out like a star but instead of being reduced to ash he felt more alive than he could ever remember. Silence fell. He glanced up at ‘1’ above Atsuro’s head. Still the same for all of them, forecast to die in some battle the next day. But he wasn’t worried. Repeated victory dulled the immediacy of the predictions. The last of them, an angel with dark red liq-

177

uid staining the edge of one of its many wings, tried to run. It wasn’t invulnerable to lightning, and that’s all that mattered. He cast the spell, and the thing disintegrated in an instant, falling in a rain of ash and burnt feathers. Atsuro put a hand on his shoulder. “I don’t know either.” He said. “I think I know right now, but that could change tomorrow. It could change in a few hours! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not knowing, as long as you don’t stop trying to find one. We can figure it out together.” The battle was over. But the others were quiet. Suddenly, everything was too quiet. It made Kazuya feel better, to know he wasn’t the only one feeling lost. It figured Atsuro would know what to say. He always had. “But… what if you’re gone?” One of Atsuro’s demons approached him. It was hurt. It was carrying something. “Honestly, at this point, you couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.” Kazuya saw him smile in the dark. His body wavered. He wondered why the world kept tilting before realizing he was stum-

bling on the asphalt his flames had shattered. “I’m not going anywhere.” The demon knelt, laying its burden down. Wordlessly, Kazuya reached out and cast a healing spell. The long tear in Atsuro’s neck, so long and deep it was nearly black, knit itself back together. He was whole. He was fine. He should (would) wake up soon. He would miss his arm, of course, it would make coding so much harder, but that was okay. Kazuya would give him a new arm. He could do that, right? Because why would everyone be fighting over this power if it couldn’t even do that much? What use was it unless he could secure the one thing he wanted, for Atsuro to open his eyes and tell him that everything was going to be okay? Kazuya reached out to touch the healed flesh for confirmation of what he already knew as time sped up around him and the trance mercifully numbing him fell to pieces. He was cold. He was so cold.

Thank you for reaching the last pages of the “Digital Devil Hee-ho Fanbook”. It has been an honor to work on this project alongside so many talented persons from around the world. I’m grateful with all the support that was given to me in the form of likes, reblogs, retweets, comments, mentions and of course, the participation of a huge ammount of people in the Megaten community. This fanbook would have never reached this phase and this level of quality if it hadn’t been for all the people that sent their work and those that encouraged us along the way. I need to confess that, for me, these were the 6 most difficult months of this year with all the planning and making of the project and, even though the fanbook was almost released outside the 30th anniversary, I feel proud with what we acomplish. If you participated in this fanbook, I’m really grateful with your effort. Thanks for believing in me and thanks for joining me to applaude and congratulate ATLUS in their 30th anniversary. And if you enjoyed this project, don’t forget to share it with all your friends. Please, make sure to follow the work of all the artist, cosplayers and writers that appear in this book. There is a lot of talent and passion in them.
