## Gehoumen / Gedoushikioni

* Gehoumen
* Gedoushikioni

### Species

Parasitic Ceremonial Demon Spider Beastman

### Introduced in

**Manga:**
Kishin Douji Zenki
Volume 1 - Chapter 2.2

**Gehoumen** (aka the "Mask of the Outlaw") is a minor character from the Kishin Douji Zenki series.

At first, Gehoumen is simply Amon's pet spider, but soon enough, he uses it for a magic ritual. Afterwards, it becomes a ceremonial demon spider, that sports a human-like eye on the back of its abdomen, which gives it strong vibes of a spider/Hyouinomi-hybrid.

When the spider later possess a ranging man, it becomes an armored human/spider-hybrid monster which mainly possesses a human-like body, but has six arms and hides a cyclops-like face beneath his mask, that calls itself **Gedoushikioni** (aka the "Guardian Demon of the heretic doctrine").

## Trivia

#### **Errors in foreign translations of the manga**

* Translators using the Chinese manga as their base sometimes refer to Gehoumen as the "Possessor", which is likely due to him possessing a human host.
	+ Unfortunately, this means, that the translators omitted the Hyouijuu's actual name, as "Possessor" translates to "Shoji-sha" (所持者), which isn't the same as "Gehoumen". Also, a "Possessor" could be just any Hyouinomi possessing a host, so the omission of Gehoumen's name is rather misleading.

#### **Misspellings and mistransliterations**

* "Gaihoumen" is a misspelling of Gehoumen's name, that appears in the Chinese translation
* "Sotonori-men" and "Soto houmen" are a mistransliteration of Gehoumen, that come from the fact, that the Kanji 外法面, which make up Gehoumen's name can be pronounced differently, depending on the context they are used in.

#### ***Credits***

Shorly after the ritual, Gehoumen speaks to Amon, leading to the following converation:

##### **Notes**

* "Gehoumen" (外法面) is the creature's name
* The Kanji writing of its name can be translated either as "Outlaw Mask"
or "Mask of the Outlaw"
* "Gedoushikioni" (外道式鬼) means "Guardian Demon of the foreign teachings"
or "Guardian Demon of the heretic doctrine"

Once Amon visits Shikigami-chou and searches for a victim to carry out his evil sceme to kill Zenki, he finds a suitable victim, when a raging man attacks an innocent bystander. Amon sees his chance. Once the situation has calmed down, Amon flings his pet spider at the raging man. Gehoumen melts a hole into the raging man's neck and enters through it, possessing him and transforming him into the armored human/spider-hybrid monster "Gedoushikioni".

From this point onward, the raging man is technically dead and is nothing more than a host Gedoushikioni, who acts like a parasite. (Chibi Zenki later mentions this when Chiaki wants to save the man)

Due to it's "ugly face", Amon gives Gedoushikioni a mask, hiding the aforementioned now cyclops-like face.
