Nullifies all magecraft below rank A. No modern mage can harm him with magecraft.
Can create magical tools. Surprisingly skillful with his hands. It is unknown whether Kon is as skillful as he is.
Taisui Xingjun is clearly a Taoist God, however as a Chaldean Servant, Taisui has the strong quality of being “an incarnation of the lump of flesh Taisui”, a nature connected to him via a singularity, as a result there is a slight negative adjustment.
A skill that shows Taisui is an imaginary planet. In the Celestial Sphere Taisui is considered a planet reflected symmetrically to Jupiter.
Taisui is said to move underground in accordance with the movement of Jupiter and is identified with the monstrous mass of flesh Shìròu said to be buried underground. It is believed that if the monster is discovered during construction, or if a house was built on it or if it was excavated, a terrible curse would follow. Other sources claim that “the monster’s flesh will never run out if eaten” or “eating it’s flesh will make you eternally young”.
A skill that shows Taisui Xingjun is a deity that brings calamity. It was believed that any activity, such as civil engineering, done in the direction of any of the twelve zodiac Taisui was in that year would invite calamity.

Earth Moved Atop Taisui’s Head.
A Noble Phantasm that brings disaster to those who awakened him. Even today, “moving the earth on top of Taisui’s head” is an idiom used to mean “acting without knowing one’s place”, which just goes to show how deeply his curses are feared. There are still written records of Taisui dating back to ancient times. In one example, the “Hiro Yiji,” a man named Li digs up Taisui and inadvertently brings about the death of his entire extended family—over seventy people.

(As a Child)
A child with sparkling eyes eager to try new things.
Adventurous (though it feels like he is trying to reverse his original nature of being under ground).
Positive Thinker.
“I’m looking forward to it”
“Ah, what’s that over there”
“Yeah, leave it to me”
(As an Adult)
A young man, a transcendental God Although he appears as a completely cool beauty, it feels as though he is a mumbling airhead.
Has a negative mindset.
He is very aware of his nature as a god of curses, and thinks people should hurry up and bury him again before anything bad happens to them.
“I’m sleepy ugh…”
“You woke me up… How should I punish you?”
“For the sake of the world of man I want to go back to sleep, quickly”
“Is it okay for you to talk to me?”
Doesn’t have any particular wish for the Holy Grail. If forced to pick something it would be the happiness of the person who summoned him. He treats Master as he would any other Master
He is aware that he is not the kind of person who should be in the public eye. He realizes that the situation is so dire that he has to resort to the power of the curse casting god, and he feels that he must fight “to quickly return to the earth”.
Taisui Xingjun, also called Taisaishin is the deified form of Taisai (a hypothetical celestial body thought to be a mirror image of Jupiter, or another name for the planet Jupiter). Taisai is identified with Shìròu, a lump of flesh wriggling in the ground, and is thought to have acquired the properties of a curse casting god from the legend of the lump of flesh, which is said to bring misfortune. Taisaishin is a directional god said to be located in a direction of the twelve signs of the zodiac in a given year, and is believed to be responsible for the good or bad luck of any action performed in that direction.
Also known as Yin Yuanshuai or Yin Tianjun and is said to be the son of King Zhou, Yin Jiao who ascended to godhood. In other words, he is (indirectly) a character from the Investiture of the Gods. In some scriptures, he is depicted as a boy, and there are similarities with Prince Nezha, such as the anecdote of being born from a lump of flesh.
Yin Jiao is the son of King Zhou of Shang’s ex-wife who was killed by Daji and in the Investiture of the Gods he is Daji’s enemy but in other scriptures he is portrayed as helping King Wu of Zhou. What these two descriptions have in common is that he is the enemy of Daji. Incidentally among his treasures is the Bell of Fallen Souls, whose sound makes the enemies’ souls fall off.
He appeared in the “Water Monster Crisis” event. A special Servant either summoned by Taisai, who floated into the singularity which was a collection of illusions, a “mysterious, shifting waterholes of indescribable location” or by the Kons, a spirit that existed within the singularity who acted as a summoning catalyst.
(As an adult)
Taisui who must not be awakened (dug out), acting as an evil god. He has icy good looks and never changes his facial expressions and always has a downcast look. This state doesn’t last long.
(Normally)
The Kons, intelligent born from the lump of flesh that is Taisui, come together and manifest their divinity. It is as if they were summoned using Taisui itself as a vessel. As a result of a small part of the deity known as Taisui Xingjun was defined independently as an Alter-Ego. He appears as a small boy his basic state as a servant
(Kons)
Unidentified creatures.
They are a lot of them.
During the Singularity, they were seen popping from the ground (Taisui’s main body). Taisui (Shìròu) is sometimes thought to be a type of mushroom called “meat reishi” which may be closely related to rodents. Although consciousness seems to be shared in the group, it seems that each has their own personality and characteristics. Just the right size to hold and nice and soft to the touch. At first it was thought that they couldn’t be brought back to Chaldea but now they are known as “something that can pop out from Taisui Xingjun’s body at a moment’s notice.”
Weights, Curses.
Let’s play together! It’ll be fun!
Ah! Boss boss is here too? I haven’t forgotten you let play together again! The older sister pats his head and smiles at you, the younger sister, plays together with him outside. The both of them act like older sisters.
“Huh, Taisui-sama? The real deal?” The monk says looking at him with excitement. He feels like he might be used for something he doesn’t like.
I somehow smell the scent of Daji and I feel like I won’t get along with them. I’ll keep my guard up.
They seem familiar, but maybe not.
She seems familiar, but maybe not. They became good friends as they’re similar people.
I loved being hugged by LamLam.
Comment from Illustrator #
I designed them in the order of boy, then young man, then Kon. When I look back at the early Kons, they were a bit too short and stubby because I was so focused on trying to make them look like mushrooms. After drawing them many times, I think it is now in a more comfortable balance. I drew a lot of elaborate Kon meat dishes because of the “infinitely multiply and edible” setting, but Takeuchi’s reaction was that it was a bit too gruesome so they were shelved. The Kons moving in the game were so adorable, so I’m glad that they weren’t cooked. (take)
