History
Heisei era
Orochi, the Eight-Headed Dragon
After humoring them in a battle with his human sized form at his lunar fortress, the evil moon kami Tsukuyomi shifted into his gigantic, monstrous form of Yamata no Orochi. Though the heroes chosen by Tsukuyomi's peers Susano and Amaterasu, Yamato Takeru and Oto Tachibana, attempted to fight the demonic hydra using the three sacred treasures given to them by the kami, they and their divine steed Amano Shiratori were out-matched. Tachibana rescued her companion after Yamato fell from the sacred bird and the party found themselves blasted into space. With Tachibana gifting her power to the prince, Yamato Takeru realized their combined power and bond was the prophesied "third light" needed to defeat Tsukuyomi. Holding the three treasures, he channeled all of their combined power as a gigantic form began to materialize around him.
As the sunburst of light spread across the ground, Utsuno Ikusagami appeared. In its massive frame that could stand on eye level with the demonic dragon, the humanoid giant contained the three legendary lights of Yamato and his party. Orochi wasted no time going on the offensive, attempting to char the new hero to a crisp with his hellish flames. To defend himself against Orochi's fire, Ikusagami activated his wings and raised a shield. The shield was blasted by Orchi until it exploded. As the demonic hydra closed the distance, Ikusagami managed to grab a hold of one of Orochi's necks to try and keep him at bay. The lasers of Orochi were fired, but the the holy warrior defended and fought back. Summoning their holy sword, they sliced off several of Orochi's eight heads. With only three heads left, Orochi was blasted with Utsuno Ikusagami's divine rays until smited back to his weaker, human and shaped form of Tsukuyomi. With their job done, Yamato Takeru, Oto Tachibana, and Amano Shiratori's fusion divided back into their individual forms to seal away Tsukuyomi and return to Earth.
