He is a powerful demon with a passionate hatred for humanity. During his rise to evil, Psaro attempted to kill the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]], sought the secret of evolution, and searched for the resting place of [[Estark]], Ruler of Evil. Enraged by the death of his beloved, Psaro became [[Psaro the Manslayer]].<br /> <br /> ==Appearance and personality==<br /> Psaro at first appears fairly humanoid, though his red eyes, pointed ears, and vast powers would soon reveal him for what he really is. He has long silver hair, pale skin and wears a dark, baroque-styled outfit with a single distinct shoulder pad, spiked and appearing to be made of bone, and a long fur cape. He also has a single, long strand of hair sticking up out of the top of his head, known as an ahoge. Upon using the Secret of Evolution he turns into a likeness of [[Estark]] and steadily morphs into a vicious, horned demon with a second face on his torso as the player fights against him.<br /> <br /> Psaro loathes humans, his Manslayer title likely derived from his stance on human presence. Despite this intense hatred, Psaro is remarkably kind to other beings, notably monsters and especially the elf [[Rose]]. His romantic attachment to Rose is so strong that it drives him insane when he learns of her murder and can be freed from the Secret of Evolution's maddening power if she is revived and brought before him.<br /> <br /> In the Japanese and [[cell phone]] remakes, Psaro has a personality which is known to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere tsundere] if [[Party Chat|party chat]] is used while he is in the party. He usually does not appear to be interested in speaking to his new comrades, usually expressing annoyance if attempting to do so. Nevertheless, Psaro will express both remorse and gratitude when due, such as when visiting the Hero's [[Hidden Valley|hometown]] and [[Rosehill]].<br /> {{clear}}<br /> ==Appearances==<br /> ==={{DQ4}}===<br /> {{spoiler|start}}<br /> [[Image:PsaroPSXArt.png|right|thumb|200px|PlayStation artwork]]<br /> Psaro is mentioned in every chapter, and his actions drive the game's plot.<br /> <br /> In the first chapter, Psaro sends his minions to kidnap the children of [[Strathbaile]] in search of the child that is prophesied to stand against him one day. [[Ragnar McRyan]] fights the leader of the kidnappers, [[Psaro's Pawn]] as a final boss to this chapter. Unbeknownst to Psaro at the time, he had the wrong location and thus the plan never had a chance of succeeding.<br /> <br /> In the second chapter, Psaro is the top contender in the [[Tournament of Endor]]. He gains infamy throughout the kingdom by being known to fight his battles to the death rather than for sport. Additionally, his motive for participating in the tournament is in hopes of finding the Hero. During this time, Psaro is made aware of the Tsar of Zamoksva having had a vision of the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] unleashing havoc onto the world. To silence him, Psaro has a curse cast onto the Tsar, taking away his voice. However, the Tsar's voice is returned to him by his daughter who lifts the curse with [[Birdsong nectar]]. Due to this, the Tsar is able to deliver his vision to at least his daughter and her comrades. Later, Psaro is supposed to be Alena's last opponent in the tournament, but fails to show up. This disqualifies him and makes Alena the victor. It is highly implied that during this time, Psaro took off to Zamoksva to silence the Tsar once and for all, which ended up causing the entire kingdom's citizens to disappear.<br /> <br /> In the third chapter when [[Torneko Taloon]] arrives in Endor, the tournament and Psaro are mentioned by several townspeople in hushed breath, and in the fourth, after the sisters [[Meena Mahabala|Meena]] and [[Maya Mahabala]] defeat [[Balzack]], [[Marquis de Léon]] appears stating that Psaro will not be happy about it, and then easily defeats the sisters.<br /> <br /> The fifth chapter starts with Psaro leading a group of monsters into the Hero's [[Hidden Valley|Hometown]] and killing everyone except the Hero. After this he desires to resurrect [[Estark]]. When [[Estark's Crypt]] is discovered by the miners in [[Mamon Mine]], Psaro leads a group of monsters from the [[Diabolic Hall]] to the mine. He is successful in resurrecting the ruler of evil, but the Hero and his party are able to defeat Estark. Next, scenes of Psaro are seen in a dream sequence if the player stays in [[Strathbaile|Strathbaile's]] inn.<br /> <br /> After using the secret of evolution upon himself, Psaro takes up residence in [[Nadiria]] and becomes the final boss [[Psaro the Manslayer]]. Psaro the Manslayer is only the boss of chapter 5, as a sixth chapter was added to the remakes where [[Aamon]] is the final boss.<br /> <br /> In the remake-exclusive sixth chapter, the players hear word of a legendary bloom of the world tree that can fully revive the dead. Setting out to find the bloom, the Chosen use it to revive Rose. Aware that she was murdered at the order of Aamon, she insists that she accompany the group to Nadiria to stop her lover. When she confronts the hideous form Psaro has become, the Secret of Evolution is undone by her tears and Psaro is returned to sanity. After being informed of Aamon's conspiracy, he joins the Chosen as a playable character.<br /> {{spoiler|end}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> ====Abilities====<br /> Psaro's initial state is quite powerful; he starts at level 35 and all his stats are high, not to mention he can learn powerful spells such as [[Lightning Storm]] and [[Magic Burst]] (most of which originally premiered in later ''Dragon Quest'' installments.) If the player chooses to pursue the bonus content and make Psaro an ally they will quickly find that he is more than a jack-of-all-trades, being adept at healing, support, and especially offensive abilities. If the time is taken to level him up he will swiftly become the most powerful ally in the game. He can furthermore equip cursed equipment without penalty and without having his stats zeroed. <br /> <br /> {{CharacterSpellList|header|title=Dragon Quest IV|subtitle=DS}}<br />

changes====<br /> *Originally the Hero's hometown was discovered when the [[inn]]keeper allowed a traveling poet, room and shelter with his actions being noticed by some monsters. The remakes replace him with Psaro who was posing as a traveler to find the Hero's home.<br /> *A Psaro impersonator can be found in remakes of ''Dragon Quest IV''.<br /> *Psaro's appearance is strikingly-similar to that of [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII ''Final Fantasy VII'']'s [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sephiroth Sephiroth]. The two bear some similarities beyond design, as well, as they both have tragic stories and take on monstrous forms to do battle with their respective heroic adversaries. These similarities are frequent subjects of jokes among Japanese fans, such as suggesting that Psaro and Sephiroth are actually secret twins, or sometimes calling one of them &quot;Psaroth&quot;.<br /> <br /> ====Selected quotes====<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;small&gt;Main article: [[Dragon Quest IV Transcript]]&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/small&gt;<br /> {| border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> | valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;25%&quot; |<br /> {{quote|style=2|quote=There was only one reason I took part in the Endor Tourney.

He is confrontational when spoken to, accusing the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]] of wanting to kidnap Rose for her tears before backing off and telling him to leave them in peace.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Saromb.png|210px|right|thumb|Psaro's appearance in ''Monster Battle Road II Legend''.]]<br /> ===In ''Monster Battle Road II Legend''===<br /> Psaro appears as a playable character, as well as the boss for Legend Quest IV in Chapter 7: The demon Lord.<br /> ===In ''Monster Battle Road Victory''===<br /> After the hero of ''Monster Battle Road Victory'' wins over his/her rival Ryuuta, Psaro escapes from the game world to the real world to challenge the hero. After clearing the game, he will be at the harbor waiting for the hero to challenge him again.<br /> ==={{DQH}}===<br /> Psaro is a secret playable character in the game. In the original Japanese version, he is part of the downloadable content but he is included by default in international versions of the game. In order for Psaro to join your party, he must be beaten in battle in the quest &quot;A Monstrous Apparition&quot;, which can be undertaken after defeating the [[Barbatos]] at Yggdrasil. Before that, Psaro will appear as a &quot;Mysterious Swordsman&quot; who randomly appears in a few levels before disappearing. His reasons for joining the heroes are personal, as he wants to take revenge on [[Velasco]] for taking advantage of his monstrous brethren and end the curse placed on them.<br /> <br /> Psaro wields [[greatsword (weapon type)|greatswords]] in combat and uses a combination of [[Zam]] magic and martial arts. For his [[Coup de Grâce]], Psaro uses the Secret of Evolution to transform into his demonic form and blasts enemies. Due to his status as a secret character, Psaro will not appear in cutscenes and he has no impact on the main storyline.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *As revealed in an event in Dragon Quest of the Stars, Psaro's last name is &quot;Banesword&quot;.<br /> *Psaro's outfit is inspired by clothes worn by baroque princes—hence the puffed sleeves and pants—which may indicate that he is of high birth. Psaro's bestiary entry in the Japanese version of {{DQ9}} describes him as a prince, corroborating this interpretation.<br /> *In ''Monster Battle Road Victory'', his first-person pronoun in Japanese is changed from &quot;私&quot; (''watashi'', a polite first-person pronoun) to &quot;俺&quot; (''ore'', a common first-person pronoun that comes across as decidedly-masculine and rather brusque). Many fans disliked this change.<br /> *In ''Monster Battle Road'' manga and ''Victory'', there is a genderbent version of Psaro named Queen Psaro (クイーンピサロ）. Unlike Psaro, who is ruthless and cold, she has a personality similar to [[Debora]]. If beaten, a [[Puff-Puff|puff-puff]] can be gotten from her.<br /> **Apparently, it is unknown if she has any relation to Psaro in any way.<br /> *Prior to the remakes of ''Dragon Quest IV'' making Psaro's appearance uniform, many artists portrayed him in a variety of different ways.<br /> **For various pieces of artwork for the official CD Theater, illustrator Mutsumi Inomata depicted Psaro as a very beautiful with large elven ears and either long light purple hair or blond hair.<br /> **In some of the 4Koma comics, Psaro is drawn very similar to a human, but with pointed ears and sharp canine fangs. He has frizzy black hair and wears a military-styled uniform with a cape.<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:DQIV CD Theater 3.png|Psaro and Solo by Mutsumi Inomata.<br /> Image:Mutsumi SaroAndRosa.jpg|Psaro and Rose by Mutsumi Inomata.<br /> Image:DQIV_DS_Psaro_artwork.png|DS artwork.<br /> Image:DQR Pizarro.png|Psaro as he appears in ''Dragon Quest Rivals''.<br /> Image:DQ Heroes Psaro.png|''DQH: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below''.<br /> Image:PsaroBrownies.jpg|Fighting against [[brownie]]s.<br /> Image:PsaroRoseguardins.jpg|Battle in ''Dragon Quest Heroes''.<br /> Image:PsaroSecretOfEvolution.jpg|Psaro using the Secret of Evolution.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Pandemonic Equipment]]<br /> {{clear}}<br /> {{Bosses}}<br /> {{DQIV}}<br /> {{DQHI}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Party members]]<br /> [[Category:Dragon Quest IV characters]]<br /> [[Category:Dragon Quest VI characters]]<br /> [[Category:Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below characters]]<br /> [[Category:Dragon Quest Rivals characters]]</div>

<p>207.44.108.76: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Kōichi_Sugiyama.png|right|thumb|230px]]<br /> '''Kōichi Sugiyama''' (''すぎやま こういち, Sugiyama Kō'ichi?'') (his birth name is 椙山 浩一, which is pronounced the same) (born April 11, 1931) is the lead composer of the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series, with other works done for Japanese TV shows, such as ''Space Runaway Ideon'', ''Cyborg 009'' and ''Gatchaman''. Because of the incredible length of his career, Suigyama's accomplishments have been officially recognized by the Guinness World record association.<br /> <br /> ==History on Dragon Quest==<br /> Sugiyama started composing with a smaller Japanese home computer called the &quot;PC-8801&quot;, and was working for [[Enix]] (now known as [[Square Enix]]). In 1986 he composed for the hit RPG video game {{DQ}} for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. That game became something like an orchestral introduction to younger people in Japan. Sugiyama is the very first video game composer to record his video game music with a live orchestra. In 1986, the CD &quot;[[Dragon Quest I Symphonic Suite]]&quot; was released, utilizing the London Philharmonic Orchestra to interpret Sugiyama's melodies.<br /> <br /> In 1987, he composed for {{DQ2}}, and then held the very first video game music concert in the world. &quot;Family Classic Concert&quot; was arranged and conducted by Sugiyama himself. It was performed by the Tokyo String Music Combination Playing Group on August 20, 1987 at Suntory Hall, Tokyo, Japan. &quot;Dragon Quest I Symphonic Suite&quot; and &quot;[[Dragon Quest II Symphonic Suite]]&quot; were performed. The &quot;Family Classic Concerts&quot; have done exceptionally well with audiences every time; since then, Sugiyama has held over eighteen of them all across Japan.<br /> <br /> Sugiyama continued to compose for video games from 1987 to 1990. In 1991 he introduced a series of video game music concerts, five in all, called the Orchestral Game Concerts, which were performed by the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra and Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. The performances included over eighteen different video game composers such as Koji Kondo, Yoko Kanno, Kentarou Haneda, Nobuo Uematsu, Keiichi Suzuki, as well as Sugiyama himself. These concerts were held from 1991 to 1996; during this time, Sugiyama composed for other video games and arranged some of them to be performed in the Orchestral Game Concerts.<br /> <br /> In September 1995, Sugiyama composed the [[Dragon Quest Ballet]], which was choreographed by Minoru Suzuki. It premiered in 1996, and came back in 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2002. During those years, Kōichi also released the Symphonic Suites for the ''Dragon Quest'' games he had worked on thus far. As this was the very first ballet inspired by a video game in the world, Sugiyama was awarded a place in the Guinness World Records book for his accomplishment. <br /> <br /> In late 2004, he finished and released the {{DQ8}} Original soundtrack, and the &quot;[[Dragon Quest VIII Symphonic Suite]]&quot; as well.<br /> <br /> In 2005, he was holding a series of concerts in Japan with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra for {{DQ8}}, as well as his classic compositions from the past.
