Shin Megami Tensei 5 - Boss Abdiel [HARD]

[@ubermaster1]

I love the idea that the other Gods are just sitting there watching Abdiel get absolutely washed by Nahobino.

[@joshuafoote5144]

Well, they don’t agree with her world views.

[@unwithering5313]

Zeus: Hey Odin, can you pass the popcorn?

[@JoeyLamontagne]

Vasuki: I wish Shiva could see this!

[@Fragmaster01]

I mean, she did ask them to witness her. Zeus seems the most likely to have popcorn on him.

[@VoltitanDev]

For real though they don't want the smoke with Nahobino and his demon army he even beated up Demifiend.

[@Solqueen86]

All the other Gods watching Abdiel eat her own words by getting baited by a demon on a toilet and poked by a child. Zeus: Funniest shit I have seen today!

[@MateriaLord826]

If that’s the case, what about Vasuki?

[@xplorer2111]

Feels like something Zeus would say X)

[@jacopoarmini7889]

Abdiel is a nice angel in her own way, she's the only one who's looking after humanity when most other gods just went after personal power

[@DarkBlitz15]

so basically Mastema

[@BlackfangDragon]

I mean when Bethel was only held together under the threat of God doing worse to them, they have no reason to be loyal or see it as anything more than knife at their throat. These same angels were the ones who told the Japaneee Gods not to interfere when the Conception happened 18 years ago, and Da’at was the result of God’s hubris.

[@_CrimsonBlade]

Nerd

[@adennielsen5371]

Maybe not. When you met her at the second da‘at, she obviously just killed some students who had knowledge of Baal or other ancient gods. And I'm pretty sure she doesn't care much about the 10 million residents of Tokyo that is about to disappear.

[@jasonenns5076]

@@adennielsen5371 But at the end of the fight "a new world order" was said. This is predictive programming. SMT constantly antigonises God. "Illumine the horizon" obvious reference to satan and how he "gave" Eve the fruit of knowledge as light represents knowledge.

[@chrisneed]

the mental image of Nahobino's party hiding behind the demon on a toilet is rather hilarious

[@SWAGberg2012]

Wonder how many times he roared just to tell Abdiel he’s trying to take a crap but instead she kept attacking him because she was provoked by the roar? XD

[@handbanana4899]

Nahobini: Exists Abdiel: *Immediately starts inhaling gallons of copium*

[@kamuilasia5813]

[@JackFrostAegirine]

Abdiel's big scene. In which all the other deities just trash her in and out.

[@seikakurumiwari]

Khonsu roasted her so hard she returned to YHVH

[@AndrewBlechinger]

And Nahobino just looking at Khonsu like "why are you dragging me into this?"

[@onewingedren2228]

I felt sad for her When she looses it's like her faith being tested and the fact that she din't tried to commit genocide or attacked Ichiro when he came for her aleardy shows how Abdiel is probably the nicest angel in these series

[@dewo277e9]

Mastema... Satan...

[@asuratakehaya6884]

Smt ii Gabriel

[@TARINunit9]

Speaking as a Law player, Abdiel as a dangerous zealot who tries to weaponize and enforce her own willful ignorance on others. She realizes empathy is a virtuous trait to have, but she has no idea how to use it herself. If Tsukiyomi didn't kill her, I would have had to put her down myself

[@lowhp_comic]

@@dewo277e9 Mastema is pretty selfish, he mainly aligns with Law cause he thinks he can ascend to a better form and he pussys out in New Law and Neutral, and he's pretty twisted in IV And even if Satan felt bad about it too late, he still commited/attempted global genocide

[@peluquin98]

[@warnacokelat]

Abdiel attack pattern without taunt: only attack Nahobino and occassionally light attack on the whole team. Her most devastating attack is Myriad Slashes followed by agidyne. However, this attack is low accuracy and lowering her accuracy will almost always results to a miss.

[@JoeyLamontagne]

I loved that because I always ended up using Tetrakarn with Mou Shuvuu and ending her turns quickly

[@RobotPilots]

When i beat her, my tactic was to always get an extra half press turn with all the other demons and guard nahobino.

[@wyattwilkerson768]

I like how Khonsu is being a smartass

[@heeho9435]

Kinda liked Odin’s va in apocalypse a little more

[@idkidc7513]

And Innana too. She went from mommy to demonic chicken

[@JackFrostAegirine]

Now he's voiced by Flynn funnily. At least Colonel Roy Max Lucifer from SMT 3 HD got to stay here.

[@BuffMaister]

Honestly, I have complaints about how they used these weird auto-tune demonic voices on the demons. Your boy Shido/Flynn does Odin as VA. You can't really hear it, but can if you focus on it. There's like 3 different voices being spoken at once, only Abdiel has a crisp voice without this demonic tune behind it.

[@Idasukimase]

if you think about it, Dazai is seeing first hand why pure law is bad, because after everything Nahobino did for Abdiel, she still betrayed him in the end. Yet he doesn't mention it.

[@christopherbravo1813]

she did warn him that he would still be judged. and if the MC hadn't fused with Aogami, he would have gotten the DSP and been perfectly fine.

[@Idasukimase]

@@christopherbravo1813 >she did warn him that he would still be judged. Then she should have not even dealt with him at all.

[@christopherbravo1813]

@@Idasukimase your logic makes no sense. Abdiel had a duty to fulfill, and that duty includes smiting false gods like the MC. and Dazai survived without powers, the MC could have too.

[@Idasukimase]

@@christopherbravo1813 >Abdiel had a duty to fulfill, and that duty includes smiting false gods like the MC. So then why use his power at all to fight her battles? It's pretty hypocritical to use something that's forbidden for your own purposes and then throw it away because it's forbidden. And she's even more hypocritical because she became a Nahobino herself. I'd be fine if she refused your help and MC just helped her cause indirectly because his friends were in danger but actively using him and then saying " NAHOBINOS ARE FORBIDDEN" is total bull. >Dazai survived without powers, the MC could have too. He survived because an angel kidnapped him. The demons were literally about to rip MC apart if he didn't fuse with Aogami. In fact, wasn't that literally the first words Aogami said to him? "Take my hand if you want to live."

[@egghamilton7205]

To be fair the thing about Ichiro is that he isn’t real an idealist like other Law reps, he’s more like the SMT 1 Law Hero in that he very much acts on his emotions rather than his logic. He admires Abdiel for being a badass angel girlboss with confidence first and bringing order to Tokyo second because as far as he’s concerned the former leads to the latter anyway. Like, other than Tsukuyomi’s reveals the only other thing on Ichiros mind is whether or not Abdiel is okay after getting dunked on so hard. I feel like he would ignore why Abdiel tried to kill you and more so that it was just bad that it happened at all

Wow after all that, I feel really bad for her, she was only doing what she felt was right.

[@donbototo5068]

I dont like that voiced demons have that distorted voice effect, they would be more intimidating if they just talk normal

[@Sextus70]

I like more the way how their voices were handled in SMT IV. They were normal enough in most of them, but had a distinct sound which made you feel you were really in front of a supernatural being (I especially like those of Merkahba and Lucifer).

[@aquano1972]

Some of them like Nuwa or Abdiel are completely fine, but others like Ishtar or Odin are very hard to take seriously

[@andrellnogueira]

So, the reason I tried, but failed to get into SMT while I loved Persona, b is that I really can't feel comfortable with the theme of an Evil YHVH. (I know, just a game, I'm not saying the game itslef is evil or anything like that, Just I personaly feel uncomfortable) But my point is, I've seen some scenes from random points of the game and from the finale, and has it been recealed YHVH had been planning for this games protag to be the next god and reset the world? Or was just mu random impression from the few scenes I saw?

[@kresnik694]

Yhvh is dead he didn't plan for his successor but he is known for erasing humanity over and over again until he is satisfied throughout the series so yes yhvh in smt is painted as a selfish ruler who thinks of his creations as toys for him to play with
