Ascended Demons is a concept extremely rare. Besides in Spawn, I haven't seen that being explored anywhere either.

Most modern religions explain Demons as former Angels that fell from grace, perhaps the reason why Fallen Angels are kinda mainstream, but I don't know why the antithesis of that isn't explored as much.

You can see Demons portrayed as Anti-Heroes or outright Heroes in many places besides Image's Spawn: DC's Etrigan, MARVEL's Ghost Rider, Dark Horse's Hellboy, yet literally none of them are considered Ascended in any way (and Spawn himself didn&apos;t remained that way for long).

The closest any righteous Demon has been to "regaining its grace" that I&apos;m aware of in any form of media is very obscure, in the "Spectre" issue No. 60 published in 1997. And even then, the repenting Demon was forgiven by having its memories, sense of self and name ereased from existance, becoming a mere vessel for Divine Wrath. Hardly classifies as "Ascended".

If the Celestial Lord really is an Ascended Demon that regained its grace, then I applaud Maruyama again for his unconventionalism. But I also assume that such World Enemy would be a genuine Holy-aligned Boss in that case, instead of a Fake Angel like Final Fantasy II's Light Emperor.
