===Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne===
Jikoku appears in the Bandou Shrine, and guards the pillar on the lowest level of the area. He will frequently use Dragon Eye followed by ice skills Bufudyne, Mabufudyne and Glacial Blast after boosting with Makakaja. Should he freeze an opponent, Jikoku will use Beast Eye, Focus and then a physical attack against the frozen opponent.
In Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster he appears with his full name, Jikokuten.
===Shin Megami Tensei IV===
Jikokuten is faced in the Challenge Quest Tokyo Cosmo. He can be found in the Higashisuna area of the Tokyo Bay region. He appears alongside the other three once all four have been defeated to be fought as a group. Jikokuten gives Flynn the reward they promised him after their defeat.
===Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse===
Jikokuten and the rest of the Four Heavenly Kings and Marici guard the temples that contain the jars of Aether which maintain the Tokugawa Mandala for the Divine Powers. Jikokuten can be found in the Kyoseiin Temple, guarding the jar of Aether which contains the essence of Sloth. Defeating Jikokuten will unlock him for fusion in the Cathedral of Shadows.
Jikokuten can teach Nanashi the Zandyne, Fog Breath and Hades Blast skills through his Demon Whisper. He benefits from learning Physical, Force and support skills.
===Shin Megami Tensei V===
Jikokuten can be found as a punishing foe, guarding a hill in Sotokanda. 
===Persona 5===
Jikokuten is the fifth Persona of the Temperance Arcana and can only be obtained through fusion in the Velvet Room. He is one of five Personas to learn Adverse Resolve. When itemized through Electric Chair execution, Jikokuten yields a Memory Blow skill card.
====Royal====
Jikokuten had his level lowered from 25 to 22 and he cannot learn Memory Blow or Dekunda via level up anymore, with Assault Dive and Kill Rush taking their place. When itemized through Electric Chair execution, Jikokuten will now yield an Assault Belt accessory, which allows the wearer to use Assault Dive. During a fusion alarm, Jikokuten will yield a Rush Belt accessory instead, which allows the wearer to use Kill Rush.
===DemiKids Light & Dark===
Known as Lord Ton.
===Devil Survivor===
Jikoku is one of the four Devas protecting the barrier that separates the human world from the demon world. Before the events of the game, Amane Kuzuryu managed to defeat him using the power of Jezebel, weakening the barrier enough for the Demon Summoning Program to be used with ease.
On Yuzu's 8th Day, Gin uses his demon companion, Take-Mikazuchi, as a temporary replacement for Jikoku so as to restore the barrier separating both worlds.
===Devil Survivor 2===
Jikokuten is first summoned when Dera-Deka attempts to use Nicaea on the 6th Day. However, Dera Daka is unaccustomed to the sheer might of the demons he has summoned and is killed after failing to seal the contract. The protagonist has to help him defeat the demons, including Jikokuten, alone. Dera Daka's final wish to the protagonist is to keep the events of their meeting secret from Airi.
Finishing this battle unlocks Jikokuten for fusion.
