Shin Megami Tensei V: Nahobino - Sea of Vengeance || SMTheology
In anticipation of the upcoming release of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, this video analyzes how the protagonist Nahobino and their design fits within the game's narrative and further the thematic context of the broader mainline Shin Megami Tensei series. The latter half of the video focuses on the new ideas discussed by director Shigeo Komori for Vengeance and how the concept of the Nahobino relates to the conflict between the bull and snake.

Переглядів 19 тис.5 місяців тому
In 2003, two of the most popular video game series in their respective genres, Megami Tensei and Devil May Cry, had a legendary crossover allowing the Demifiend to face Dante. To this day, the event is widely beloved by the fanbase and helped cement Nocturne as one of the most iconic games in the series, but people rarely discuss how this actually happened in the first place.

    Really cool how Dante came back in SMT3 HD with Reuben Langdon providing his voice as well as feature in another SMT game the mobile game SMT DX2 Liberation in his DMC5 design bringing Nero and V with him Also pretty cool that they got Kazuma Kaneko to design the DMC3 DT's for Dante and Vergil which still used often and inspired future designs

    If the beginning scenario was made in the present time period, the US government would most definitely be Chaos or dark law align. While the Japanese military would definitely be law or Light Chaos. If you know, you know.

    If you want "canon", go play Persona. Apart from SMTI to lead to II, II to lead to NINE (yes, no direct connection between II and III), and _possibly_ III to V, there is no canon.

    Good video. I should add that in IV Apocalypse’s dlc quest Messiahs in the Diamond Realm, each protagonist mentions one of their routes: Flynn tells you he wants to create hope and unite the bottom and the top (neutral), demi-fiend tells you he found himself in the Diamond Realm after he fought Lucifer (True Demon), and Aleph mentions the Megiddo Ark (Law), and the Hero tells you he’s not sure if he wants to align with law, chaos, or neither. Also before you fight Stephen in the quest, you need to gather Flynn, demi-fiend, and Aleph and tell them where to go. While you’re finding them, you encounter several demons to fight: When you find Aleph, you fight against law aligned demons, and after the fight Aleph gives you a blue key (blue is usually represented as law) When you find demi-fiend, you fight chaos aligned demons, and he gives you the red key (red is usually represents chaos) When you find Flynn, you fight against neutral aligned demons, and he doesn’t give you a key after the fight.

    • @KidCapes
      @KidCapes 2 місяці тому

      I don't think this theory makes total sense considering that in the context of SMT2, Aleph couldn't have been killed by the Megiddo Ark if he was on the Law route. The Megiddo Ark was their weapon, if he was Law-aligned he would be out of range on Eden.

    so there’s actually another reason this happened in the original version of Nocturne Raidou Kuzunoha would show up in place of Dante but those games hadn’t come out in the west when knocked was released to the west they needed a character about the west was familiar with which is how we ended up with Dante and those devil trigger designs would actually go on to be used in DMC 3 that’s why in that game in particular the devil trigger designs look like SMT demons because they were designed by the same people

    • @KidCapes
      @KidCapes 5 місяців тому

      You have the timeline wrong. Nocturne Maniax released in 2004, Raidou didn't even exist as a character until 2006. The version of the game you're referring to is Nocturne Maniax Chronicles, which released in 2008 as an add-on to the limited edition of Raidou 2.

    • @KidCapes
      @KidCapes 5 місяців тому

      The key is finding a niche. You can't expect to have a meaningful depth of knowledge if you don't have some sort of specific topic of interest. So I'd advise you to pick something you're interested in and get familiar with that. Also make sure the sources you're using are trustworthy (don't trust random self-published books or esoteric websites) and don't be afraid to read scholarly articles (you can find them for free on jstor and academia.edu). Hope this works out for you!

    • @KidCapes
      @KidCapes 5 місяців тому

      I don't really have an example offhand (and I don't really want to put someone on the spot tbh), but generally you just don't want to use a site that you can't verify wasn't made by a field expert (a professor or someone who has published peer reviewed articles) if they aren't sourcing their work. Also, a good test is googling the text in sites, because a lot of people will just plagiarize wikipedia.

      ​@@KidCapesSir, I have a question. How does the alignment or even Law make sense within the series? If all we see is an atheist faction disrespectfully using religion as a cover to be more anti-religious than literal Lucifer, then what is the point? Like, how would anyone choose an alignment like that when Neutral offers the same, but without genocide or fake faith.

      @onetruesavior69 That mostly depends on your own opinions, but I do think ATLUS tries to have it's cake and eat it too with depicting alignments as all being valid. It's not like you have to agree with ATLUS's view on these topics in the first place though.
