Overview

A demon who now inhabits Gohan’s body, formed when Dante and Virgil merged into him (ep 0158 00:24:28–00:25:13). Lucif names him as Sparda, “In some theologies, known as the father, of Virgil and Dante” (ep 0159 00:04:07–00:04:10). He is an old acquaintance of Lucif, whom he calls “old friend” (ep 0159 00:02:48). He survived Arch Angel Goku’s smite by sacrificing Dante and Virgil, but Lucif dragged him back and killed him with Gohan by snapping Gohan’s neck (ep 0167 00:05:58–00:12:19).

Open questions

• Answered: Gohan was still in there — he wakes once the smite drives Sparda out, before Lucif kills them both (ep 0167 00:01:03–00:05:21, 00:11:08–00:12:19). See goku-kill-gohan.
