Being sincere, You can defeat Arahabakis in the Raidou ganes with guns, surely he was confused as hell when that didn't work here

Demi-fiend: "What the fuck are you doing?" Goutou: "Using gun!" Demi-fiend: "Bro, it's Arahabaki. He's immune to phys." Raidou: "Hold the fuck up," Goutou: "You mean to tell us that our GUNS are doing PHYS damage?" Demi-fiend: "...Well, yeah. What other kind of damage would they do?" Raidou: "GUN!" Goutou: "So there's absolutely no difference between phys and gun in this world, which means that our gun-based attacks are essentially useless and we get hard walled by an Arahabaki of all things." Demi-fiend: "Whatever, Phys is still strong anyways. Here, I'll show you!"

[@travisoliver6741]

@@beetogarcia9983 It's the Soul-Sending Ritual. It doesn't summon demons, it just banishes them. But considering that there is no place to send Demi-Fiend, he would probably just be obliterated.

[@DackAttack]

@@jackour8167 Demi-Fiend struggles against Raidou's low tier demons, he would've died if Raidou actually pulled out his high tier ones lol

[@rock117rx2]

In a hypothetical scenario where gameplay-wise, Raidou was more than just a replacement for Dante. There is a way that his version of the 3rd Kalpa chase could be made a hell of alot more interesting. And that its by having his team of uber low-to-mid level demons join the chase. Just imagine, you think lost Raidou only to see Orthrus sniffing to search the Demifiend. Then Mishaguji starts to phase through a wall as the Demifiend makes a run for it trying to catch his breath. Moh Shuvuu yells "PEEK A BOO!!!" as she appears right in front of him.

[@liamkqn]

If we got that, then Raidou would've been the DLC for the remaster instead of Dante (like in the Chinese version, if I recall correctly)

[@harisatryo3760]

​@@liamkqn So then, Liamkqn... What does the *one Dante Sparda's appearing in the Chinese version 🇨🇳 of "Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster"* right then...🤔?

[@LimitedEye]

In his game it works so yeah still pretty knowledgeable

[@HazardousCanine0620]

In the raidou games you defeat arahabaki by shooting them so you can't blame him for getting confused

Raidou: why are you running? why are you running?!

[@TheWandererGhost]

*meanwhile at other version of SMT 3: notcture!*^ Dante: you think you're safe by running away? think again! (Shoots at Demi-Fiend)

[@Twilight17Petkoton]

Dante: Hey, Raidou Demi-Fiend is my, so get lost. I have two guns and a sword, so you're not the only one who deals with demons from the underworld itself.

[@gummmie]

why does raidou have a better running animation in this than in his own games

[@bleach___]

probably because the nocturne PS2 release with Raidou is from 2008, after both Raidou games were developed

[@lowhp_comic]

I think it's dumb that they reused Dante's theme and not a song from Devil Summoner when you fight him. . .

[@maxwellgreatwell4862]

Would of have been too harsh of a tonal shift with the rest of Nocturne's atmosphere and Soundtrack, There could have been a remix but the japanese Maniax Chronicle edition was rushed IIRC

[@MeatOfJustice]

Or they could have gone other way around and have DMC songs for Dante since he's DLC anyways

[@KazShiro]

Well iirc two of his cutscene songs were remixed which was Checkmate and Showtime which are more synth heavy and less guitar based which is the opposite that was used with Dante's theme (Maniax). Though im not sure if they kept that change in the remaster. EDIT Yup it seems they use the chronicles maniax remix. Its just the battle theme that isn't changed even though it was never remixed to begin with.

[@derrickhaggard]

I'm dreading this fight mostly cause I'll soon learn how it feels to be an enemy NPC in a Raidou Kuzunoha game.

[@spazzmaticus9086]

[@ckenshin3841]

As cool as Dante is, there's something so fitting about Raidou. It's like pitting the protagonist of one SMT series against you and your cause.

[@zevilktheseeker]

11:52 ow i wish we could see him fighting seriously .

[@doomslayer4963]

Watching this after playing through the 3rd kalpa against Dante is fascinating. Not only am I gonna have to check out DMC once I finish Nocturne, but I'm gonna have to look into purchasing a PS3 to play the Raidou games.

[@isaiahrivers7117]

I wonder what it would be like if they made it at least in the remaster version where Dante and Raidou meet and team up where it would be a hard part of the game where you would be hunted by the two and have to defeat the two in battle.

[@maddogmajimaswifey3868]

Like this is hard enough for me at least i kept getting the switch reset no matter what I do

[@Twilight17Petkoton]

Unfortunately, you can only have one in Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne Dante or Raidou you can't have both. So, the developers making this game that you can't have two broken characters only one that it.

@@manuelcamara6400 It just feels like Raidou gives off a more menacing presence than Dante.

[@zomboids2100]

Basically yeah. Raidou was going to straight up murder demifiend on the spot once he decided to go all out.

[@jackour8167]

Not really. Naoki had already adapted to raidou's demons. Raidou's only chance of winning was if one of his demons got the demi fiend off guard. Not that it matters now . Demi fiend got massively stronger after fight anyway. And raidou WAS going all out. Summoning all his demons at once is legit his trump card. Also legit was his only option left
