Fighting demi-fiend would be terrifying not because of his immense power or magic, but because of the way he just _rapidly slides at you to punch_

[@crc4618]

This is why his super boss appearance in Digital Devil Saga is terrifying.

[@Tinttilina]

@@crc4618 And because it’s just the regular encounter theme, so to him you are on the level of a random encounter

[@franconunez925]

@@Tinttilina and yet it can kill you if you don't take care as classic shin megami tensei nocturne fashion.

1:06 I feel like the three nagas just had a deep discussion about whether consciousness is a good thing or not, and one of them just ran up to her to validate their own opinion

[@archivist_13]

Definitely

[@Xx1devilgod1xX]

Isamu pissed me off during the whole game because of how hipocritical he is, he's like "I don't need help! I'll create a world where nobody needs anyone! btw can you help me with this?"

[@AzaleaBu]

I mean, all of the Reasons are super hypocritical. Chiaki wants to create a world where only the strong survive, but she only survived the Conception by luck, and constantly requires help from people stronger than her.

[@AusSP]

@@AzaleaBu And Hikawa wants a world of oneness and harmony, free of violence and destruction, but does so by being fundamentally different from everyone else, planning and acting by himself to get it all done, and sacrificing two cults to get the whole thing started.

[@AusSP]

@@dude124 Damn it.

[@HollowGolem]

@@AusSP and your teacher is all about freedom and humans making their own way, but spends the whole game being manipulated and controlled by other people, and waiting on them to lead her instead of making her own decisions. I think that's the point. Everyone is a flagrant hypocrite, either to make all of their extreme, short-sighted options less attractive, or to point out that if you sit around waiting for a perfect leader, you'll never find one. Both are worthwhile things to discover.

[@sarafontanini7051]

"Come on! It made sense" ah, that was your first mistake. SMT weaknesses never make sense.

[@Rellik165]

4:00 "Hijiri, can you give me faith in humanity?" Nocturne: "That's not how the game is meant to be played, buddy. >:)" 15:05 Nocturne: "That's better."

[@kueyteow6288]

That Raidou chase sequence and the Trumpeter battle were so memorable to me. Just the sheer fact that Raidou is Boogie Woogie-ing you while his theme just comes on gave me freaking anxiety. And that Trumpeter fight was so satisfying to see you slowly figure out his mechanic

[@own492]

Time to make a mod to replace Raidou/Dante with Todo from JJK so Boogie Woogie can start playing

[@Zephhi]

I like Dante chasing better lol

[@ninlink1smh]

"I want whatever Hijiri is having" Little does she know how little she wants what he is actually having lol

[@thine_damn_fault5297]

"Ah, so you also want to be stuck in a neverending cycle of death and rebirth on entirely different universes because you bitch slapped god in a previous life?"

[@TruePeaceSeeker]

Honest question, what is it he's having?

[@ninlink1smh]

@@TruePeaceSeeker in his previous life, Hijiri committed the "ultimate sin" and is now damned to a life of constant reincarnation where he is forced to watch the world be destroyed a reformed, but he is never allowed to do anything about it. Every time he is reincarnated he forgets his previous life and has to watch everything fall apart all over again. That's why he was in the vortex world even though he wasn't in the hospital. He was brought back to life just to suffer and die again. And he will do so again in the next vortex world. It is never said what sin he committed to get this punishment.

[@Glorbis]

@@ninlink1smh this is (to my knowledge) never directly said, but it's generally accepted and implied that hijiri's past life was that of the smt 2 protagonist who committed the ultimate sin of killing god.

[@RexZShadow]

@@Glorbis but if he killed god who would be strong enough to curse him?

[@rna151]

"Imagine just getting into a random battle and right away they do that and you die" don't have to imagine, I can remember it happening. And not even while just wandering around, while returning from a lengthy dungeon crawl laden with loot and xp. I'll *always* remember it happening.

(Hey Beware of spoilers here) OMG Crystal is so good at deduction its crazy 👀 She figured out Hijiri isn't human 4:11, and that Hikawa is literally sepiroth (both show off their naked upper body while the lower half becomes some sort of monster) 10:36, and even managed to figure out the whole allure of the true demon ending 19:18, figure out that there was another fiend at yoyogi park purely through logic and not asking the NPC in Amala 36:28

[@shuryoji3246]

3:42 My thoughts after saving him basically.

[@worthfulbeing7512]

I kinda like the Kabukicho Prison, just with the upside-down gimmick, recruiting a Naga, beating that Black Frost, and most importantly, Mizuchi screwing you up with Mirage. I think he's the only reason I ever started buying Sacred Water.

[@minaly22]

Same. That habit turned out to be benefitial later during the Samael fight and their constant mental effects. I would hate to end up like that one guy on youtube where they got charmed and ended up diarahan-ing the boss to full health.

[@AdamK-o7]

ah yes more demon summoning
