abstract | - The Datenshi (堕天使, Fallen Angel), alternatively referred to as Meitenshi (迷天使, Stray Angels), were former Tenshi who willingly abandoned the goodwill of The One in order to fulfill their own selfish desires through sinful or evil means. Ultimately, the Datenshi betrayed Tougenkyou by letting their hubris and wickedness fester until it gradually corrupted them to a supposed point of no return. The term "Datenshi" also extended to those Tenshi who willingly pledged their allegiance to Lucifer's father, The Outsider. The most famous Datenshi was Lucifer himself, one of the two Tenshi God-Kings and Rulers of Tougenkyou. Seduced by his concubine Lilith with the desire to surpass his brother Michael and to become a "True God" like his mother, Lucifer rebelled against The One and brought over half of the Heavenly Host loyal to him to his side, which marked the onset of the Great Tougenkyou War and the first instance of a Datenshi. Upon their defeat in the Final Battle of the Tougenkyou War, the surviving Datenshi fled to the Human World and went into hiding, waiting for the potential return of Lucifer. When the Collapse occurred, many of the Datenshi considered the disastrous event as a sign of their master's return and thus, began to rally and muster their forces for the coming battles yet to come. They were widely regarded as the fallen, antagonistic brethren of the Tenshi and were often mistakenly referred to as Demons, despite the existence of Actual Demons.
