The arena is covered with an endless cloudy sky, revealed to actually be a cover for the Akashic Records. The cathedral also has an arena where Deus and Muru Muru summon the diary holders for occasional meetings. Deus sits in a large throne which hovers just above the ground amid a partial sphere of metal fragments he can also summon a "resting sphere" around himself to conserve energy and have private conversations with others.
#Deus ex machina game full#
He is shown to be able to create artificial lifeforms, namely Aru Akise, who he can program with a full range of emotions and desires when their use has expired, he can deconstruct them just as easily.ĭeus operates from the Cathedral of Causality, depicted as a large domed building with purple lighting. He has control of the Akashic Records, the universal compendium of knowledge and history. It is implied that he may be able to rewind time, but leaping back in time can create parallel worlds. The fact that he interacts with certain humans (seemingly without any explanation) implies that Deus may, in fact, be fond of some humans, or at the very least those whom he finds to be interesting.ĭeus is an ancient deity who rules over time, space and the laws of causality. For his part, John seems to care for Deus, but also uses Deus' needs as an excuse to push his own plans in the Survival Game, requesting that Yukiteru and Yuno be eliminated from the game to speed it up before Deus dies.

Additionally, while Deus's rationale for holding games is often incomprehensible, he shows a clear sense of honor when the Survival Game is in progress, answering the participants' questions and doing whatever he believes necessary for the game to be as fair as possible. Prior to the Survival Game, he saved Minene Uryuu from death despite her hatred of gods, offering her a Future Diary and a place in his game without coercion. Furthermore, while Deus never outright lies, he is not above manipulating the truth to achieve his desired goals, such as evading Yukiteru's question over whether or not he could revive the dead as a god.Īlthough far from a benevolent god, Deus is not without compassion and has occasionally done good things without any personal profit.


As a result, many of the Survival Game candidates are planning to use their eventual godhood for selfish and destructive ends - some even plot to destroy the universe outright - and others have no desire to play the game at all. He also seems to have chosen several participants based on how "interesting" they will make the game, regardless of their motives to become his successor. In his first appearance alone, he is shown provoking a war for fun, and he develops the Survival Game without considering the consequences for the participants being forced to kill each other. The rest of his body is hidden beneath a dark cloak with a high collar and golden adornments, with a red and purple band around the neck area.ĭespite being a god, Deus is very laid-back and playful, seeking courses of action that will amuse him in addition to achieving his goals unfortunately, he is completely apathetic and/or oblivious to the consequences of his "games". His head resembles the skull of an unknown creature, with a golden crown on top and a shock of white and blue hair protruding from the back he also has long, pale arms with claw-like fingernails. Deus is an extremely large and alien figure, towering over other characters at well over a hundred feet tall.
