Well, it's not what I was waiting for but it's correct. The most accurate answer is Artemis. Hestia, though virgin didn't explicitly express this desire.96. Who is Jason?

Jason was leader of the Argonauts who ventured to get the golden fleece. See "Jason and the Argonauts" for a poorly made movie about this.Oh, and didnt Hestia swear to stay a virgin to stop Apollo and Poseidon from fighting over her?

Eh, belligerents? Do you mean the people at war, if you do, I think it was the Æsir and the Vanir. Took me so long to find that stupid Æ character. :)

Well, not exactly demons. Gods is right, but their aggressors are led by Loki. The Fire Giants, Jotuns and other monsters are examples of the aggressors.

Hmm not really. Ok, let's cancel this question. In two words, ragnarok opposed the gods to the giants. The story is a little more complicated but I want to go on the next question. Next is a double question, special for kuisanagui, no one else answer.100. What is the 'Kusanagui' :)? What is the real world counterpart of Raikou?

Honestly...I have no idea what a Kuisanagui is. :huh: If you mean Kusanagi, then its a legendary Japanese sword found in the body of a dragon [reminds you of Golden Sun? ;)] and used by the warrior Yamato Takeru...the legend goes that it could control the wind, and Takeru used it to cut a field of grass to stop a brush-fire that the enemy used against him, hence the nickname "Grasscutter". Literally though, it means Sword of the Snake.Real world counterpart...a tiger? In terms of mythos, the name Raikou was based on the Thunder Demon Raiju [meaning Thunder Animal], which is presented as a feline-type animal.
