So In Vengeance, instead of Lucifer triggering Dazai's Ascending state, here Mastema is the one manipulating Dazai to accept his blessing to reach his ascending state. Damn it, Dazai is remind me so much of Walter, A funny guy and cheerful party friend who cares about his teammates but is blinded by his personal ambitions and is willing to sacrifice his friends in the end
@@NoobsUnited9000 Yes Walter is goofy, but he also funniest guy in the party, and for personal ambitions, if you read SMT IV story with details and also the SMT IV Demonic Gene comic, you can find that the main reason Walter joined the Chaos side was because he wanted to change Mikado, besides he is also possibly reincarnation of Kenji. as a casualry from birth he saw the Mikado moving in Stagnation, the Luxors lived in luxury and comfort while the casualry had to work hard while being looked down upon by the luxors,he was disappointed in reality, so he formed his own stance, where his idealism was Darwinist, the strong had the right to decide, because he thought that would be fairer, that was the reason he joined Chaos and Lucifer, because by joining them he could reach that goal, even though that means he has to be prepared to be confronted by his teammates , same with Dazai, Dazai is obsessed with becoming strong and reliable to helping the law/order in eradicating evil,that's because if we read the interactions at school, Dazai is student who is not liked by his classmate and schoolfreinds because many think he is silly and useless
@FadliAthallah_ you wrote all of thst based off something thst isn't even canon. Bruh Walter is never goofy, his whole character is the embodiment of lacking the sophistication a luxorer is supposed to have. His callousness, rudeness, abrasiveness, is all a foil to Johnathon. His ambition? Is saving the common man. It's not self motivation. You totally misunderstood his character.
This scene is so fckin scary. the music, the voice acting, the setting, he turning dazai into salt. An angel with dark wings coming from the sky, this is fucked up as hell.
It fits too well for Mastema in the scrolls of Enoch. He is basically a Satan who works for God in order to test humans resolve for their belief in god
@@JRPGLOVER the Clipped Wings DLC reveals that Mastema was the one who sent the order to incapaciatate them because he believed that the 4 Archangels have gone too far with killing Tokyoans who tried to climb up.
The guy above me is right. You should have in count that the SMT series is ACTUALLY dificult, they're not related with Persona in story as they're their own separated universes. But both Persona and SMT are spectacular games, you should play every game!!
SPOILERS!!! I saw the video, where he fights Lilith and her sisters; lost his powers (Proto Fiend); Dazai and Bethel attack Yuzuru Atsuta; and MC fused with Hayao Koshimizu
Funny how Mastema is portrayed as a super powerful angel if not the strongest angel around in this and SJ yet Michael hardly gets talked about and barely has any story significance. Even metatron gets more plot relevance then good ol Mikey
They gave a more balanced/nuanced view of the Law alignment in Devil Survivor: Overclocked. It might arguably be the best outcome for a Law ending in the entirety of SMT.
There’s a LOT of baggage regarding Abrahamic religion, namely Christianity, and their religious persecution. Easy to blame the _outsiders_ for undermining authority. It’s also easy to spin the idea of religion being a vehicle for blind subservience and worship to the point of relinquishing free will with a monotheistic religion. That’s not the only form of tough topics, as seen in SMT 1 with the fear of continued nuclear tensions and occupation by America.
The abrahamic mythology is mostly an exotic salad dressing theme for the Law faction, which moreso represents Japanese ideals of social cohesion and conformity; not that I want to bring up the other series in context of SMT but this association was very blatant in Persona 5 lol
It should be noted that SMT draws a lot more from Gnostic perspectives on God than traditional Abrahamic (Jew, Christian, Muslim) ones, in which God is seen as an evil subordinate figure (the Demiurge) to a more pure divinity (in SMT, the Great Will). As such any Law alignment (with few exceptions, including SMT I) is going to code God in a bad light as part of their borrowing from a more Gnostic narrative than a traditional Abrahamic one.
Oh hey, it’s the most trustworthy demon of the series
only in 4 yeah he going to do strange journey electric bogolo 2 and brainwash our allies like every law route in this series
virgin mastema vs Chad Michael

Ironically, Dazai, being law route, has the most chaotic mind. While Yuzuru, being chaos route, is the most level-headed.
How is your description anything like Walter? Walter is not a funny silly goofy guy blinded by personal ambitions. That's totally Navarre.

Well, I see Mastema's continuing his reputation as a "trustworthy" snake.
Dude straight up tried to get a promotion by having someone kill his superiors for him
Funny ,because he is "Trustworthy" Crow

I can't believe atlus really said "Wait, let us actually make a better story and improve the game" and they actually delivered 😂
Mastema doing a little trolling again.
Thanks for pumping these out can't wait for the final boss
Mastema is based Mastema is based MASTEMA IS SO BASED
I love how everyone in the comments sees right through mastemas bullshit
9:01 Lobotomy Kaisen
What
No joke, reached this moment and deadass said the same thing
Do not believe his lies.
i trust this man with my life
That ear is unnerving
what a trustworthy fellow!
He's the best character in this game EASILY. I love this dude
He not good guy, we already see he in Strange journey Redux ver
Not the same Mastema. We also saw him in SMT IV. He was a good guy there.
@@NoobsUnited9000Oh, was he really? Then why other archangels wanted to get rid of him then?
@@JRPGLOVER The other Archangels were really evil though.
@@JRPGLOVERBecause he locked them in Kagome tower after having Flynn stop them from wiping out Tokyo.
@@JRPGLOVER the Clipped Wings DLC reveals that Mastema was the one who sent the order to incapaciatate them because he believed that the 4 Archangels have gone too far with killing Tokyoans who tried to climb up.
Dazai is Law version of Walter LOL
Good strategy, unfortunately… *Megidoloans*
Young man
how do i start the shin megami series do i need to play the others first or are they like persona with a new set of charchters and story each game?
They are like Persona, start with whatever you want except for SMT2 needs to be played after SMT1 and SMT4A after SMT4
The guy above me is right. You should have in count that the SMT series is ACTUALLY dificult, they're not related with Persona in story as they're their own separated universes. But both Persona and SMT are spectacular games, you should play every game!!
how far in were you when nahobino got the new outfit?
SPOILERS!!!
I saw the video, where he fights Lilith and her sisters;
lost his powers (Proto Fiend);
Dazai and Bethel attack Yuzuru Atsuta;
and MC fused with Hayao Koshimizu
Law forever baby!

I love this version of ichiros journey
!Spoilers!
Honestly just getting to kill this guy alone makes the new Chaos Route worthwhile
Ngl i agree with yours statement. Yoko route is a 6/10 at best but kick that snake ass is soooo rewarding.
Why do SMT devs and Japanese people hate Abrahamic mythology and Law so much?

Japan sees Christianity the same way Americans view greek mythology just some cool stuff to make an interesting anime or game out of and that’s it
