On 5ch, the thread lit up with jokes about his “100,000-and-something” age setting, fans hunting for the masked members’ real faces, and nostalgic reminiscing from the late-night radio generation.

Demon or not, once you're past 100,060 years old your body's bound to start acting up.

The Tour de France is the only time each year I confirm Luke's still alive!

When a Seikima-II member eventually passes away, will the official account really put out something like 'He has returned to the Demon World!'?

If you image-search 'Zenon Ishikawa,' his bare face just pops right up.

That's just his 'disguise for hiding among mortals' (a stock tokusatsu-hero line).

He did a bare-faced talk session with Sōru Tōru on YouTube — the content's actually pretty interesting too.

A demon who's also a Buddhist priest?
I honestly don't know what you're talking about.

The other titles — Kakka (Excellency), Denka (Highness), Chōkan (Director-General), Sanbō (Chief of Staff) — are based on each member's rank in the Demon World,
but this guy's 'Oshō' (Priest) is just a nickname he got for his calm vibe.

That's Luke Takamura lol

Weren't they basically a KISS cover band?

Since it's just his disguise for hiding among mortals, that doesn't mean he's immortal……
30Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:14:46.49ID:NI844yXs0
This demon's also 100,000-and-something years old, so that's rough.
33Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:17:08.15ID:g5C1cUuq0
Isn't it weird that Zenon Ishikawa Oshō is 64 while Demon Kogure is 100,000?
36Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:19:21.38ID:PDFiaIh+0
Make sure to peel a pear for anyone who visits him in the hospital.
37Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:20:29.83ID:NWntUTwz0
Lately the lineup's such a mix of old and new members that finding a stand-in is probably no problem.
38Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:20:32.06ID:ZIcJH4vt0
They call him 'Zenon' but then go and use his full name lol
40Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:21:06.44ID:lHSAk3iE0
His disguise for hiding among mortals is just an old man, after all.
42Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:27:25.97ID:ICqWBAJZ0
I always thought Seikima-II was just Demon Kogure doing it solo.

I had it, so what?
47Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:35:05.92ID:riBLxpoB0
It's because his face is painted that he can't breathe through his skin.

As long as it's not gold or silver paint, he's fine.
48Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:35:26.84ID:cjLXNWJh0
For some reason I always thought he was 'Dai-Oshō' (Grand Priest).
49Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 20:35:33.00ID:REtmRSUK0

He's the kind of act that falls into that category, so yeah —
Funassyi would probably get the same treatment if it ever 'died' too.

I'm from the generation that listened to Demon Kogure's late-night radio show, and it was genuinely fun back then.
One of the good things about being a Shōwa-era kid.

Oh, that Director Nakayama thing?

Well, I guess if you've lived 100,000 years, something's bound to wear out somewhere.

Pretty pathetic for a demon to have farsightedness, back pain, and frozen shoulder.

The average lifespan for demons these days is around 100,076 years.
