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.
