Appearances

 * Shin Megami Tensei IV: Jirae Race, Boss

Shin Megami Tensei IV
Kuebiko is found in the Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Office, where he refuses to leave or negotiate with the Ashura-kai and their hired hunters. Angry that they expect him to leave the area when his kind had lived there for ages long before humans ruled it. He also states his kind would never want to eat the artificially manufactured Red Pills rather than normal humans. When hunters are angry that he killed humans, he states that living creatures eating each other is a natural part of nature and that Hunters killing Demons for rewards is no different.

If Flynn chooses to kill Kuebiko, he will question why humans always wish to quarrel, but that there is no avoiding fighting when one side attacks with force. As he dies, he believes that his kind is destined to being driven away with contempt and wishes his soul to become a part of the earth and know peace. If Flynn chooses to spare Kuebiko he thanks him for listening to reason, but states that he can no longer live here thanks to the unclean blood that taints the land. In both choices he states there was once no superiority or inferiority between the earth and mankind in the past. The reward regardless of killing him or not is the Jirae Talisman.
