    Megami Tensei is known for its awesome and creative demon designs, but not all of these demons are created equal. Like any series of monster summoning and collecting genre, MegaTen does have its fair share of bad designs. In this video, I count down my top 10 worst MegaTen demons.

    The wheel going around Nemesis is actually a reference to her mythology! A common symbol of Nemesis in ancient Greece was a wagon wheel with a wedge missing. (The persona's "head" actually makes the wedge!) This symbolizes that while revenge is a cycle that goes on and on, being weighed down by revenge actually makes it harder to move forward. I don't think I need to explain how this applies to Ken. I actually think it's a pretty good design myself, but to each their own

    • @nicholasholmes258

      I quite like the design of Nemesis as well.

    I like Odin a lot because:
    - He's emaciated, which reflects Odin's character. Odin isn't a badass viking warrior, he's a conniving wizard who needed to undergo self torture and physical trials before he could learn all the ruins. It also kind of reminds me of Jesus.
    - His robe and nudity kind of makes him look like Greek statute which contrasts with the rest of his get up and makes it look like he has chad confidence.
    - His one eye, self-explanatory.
    - His spear is cool and again reminds me of Jesus (Lance of Longinus).
    - His viking helmet is awesome and way cooler than thor's.
    - His raven is cool and appropriate.

    Justice for Nemesis! Why I like Nemesis?
    -The wheel IS a buzzsaw. Whenever Ken does a physical skill (of which, Ken primarily uses physical skills with the down bonus damage) Nemesis does assault the opponent with her buzzsaw. It's a fun design choice that makes the animations a little more fun (and makes Kala-Nemi feel like a downgrade).
    -The robot design jives with me. The robot design with the dumb chest face shows that Ken isn't quite as mature as he's letting himself on to be. Combine that with the buzzsaw and you have a design the looks overly eager to do the whole goddess of punishment thing (which again can come back to Ken).
    -Something about having a faceless head with the chest face just appeals to me as someone who enjoys unsettling designs.

      The buzzsaw is also a nice bit of symbolism. It makes Nemesis look more inhuman than the other initial personas, and makes it look like something that could not function "normally" the way other humanoid personas like Castor or Hermes could. It does a good job of depicting the destructiveness of Ken's suicidal quest for revenge in that first half of the game.

      Nemesis' buzzsaw could also reflect the symbolism of karma, even though that's more for The Wheel Of Fortune, it's still prevalent in Justice. The reason its a buzzsaw of all things is to represent his journey of revenge, which is what the Reversed Justice Arcana usually depicts

In SMT IV he's *supposed* to be the embodiment of Chaos, which is exactly how he's portrayed: there's no symmetry at all in every part of his body, no harmony, and no consensus on what he's supposed to look like; just like the Ancient of Days is supposed to be the embodiment of order.

    Sanat: Someone sat down, drew this guy, and never stopped. (I do think it's cool looking, but I do agree that it's overkill.)
    Pisaca: You poor soul. (I actually like Pisaca if mostly for the design, because it looks cool to me.)

    Odin: I like both designs, though I do like the first design if mostly because the old look is basic and nothing too complex. (Not to knock down SMT4's Odin, that one's badass, and it makes up for it being a different design.)

    I kinda like the SMT4's Lucifer because he looks to me like what a fallen Angel would look like. Humanoid...but not quite enough to be human, the left arm with what I presume the remains of your friend forming in there, and it just...kinda works for me. Yeah the older design is much better but to me I think the design kinda fits, but yeah him on the throne does look pretty baller, after all thrones are awesome
    Also I agree bout the palate swap DLC, I don't mind DLC demons but god damn
    Also how I would fit the Mitamas
    I'd have a maniquin like creature holding a mask with the different expression. I feel it would go with the theme it isn't meant for battle but fusion but give it a more original spin on their gimmick of souls

      SMT IV Lucifer would be completely fine if he had a different outfit. But the gold matador really ruins everything. Makes him look like Michael Jackson or David Bowie or something. Completely wrong vibe.

    I really hate to admit how much I love the Mitama quartet lol. Like I wholeheartedly agree with you on every point, but I can't help but love them. Especially Ara Mitama. They always remind me of Super Princess Peach, and I wouldn't be entirely shocked if Nintendo got the idea from there, though I doubt it.

      SMT is Megaten (you say)
      Devil Survivor is an SMT SPINOFF (as the internet say)
      SMT Spinoff is still SMT
      therefore... Devil Survivor is both SMT and Megaten

    I think Sanats kinda weird design of being faces and teeth everywhere is maybe related to his roll as helping in the “evolution” of humanity. So maybe when he went from benevolent depiction to evolving himself and changing his body. You can almost see that benevolent being around his weird faces everywhere, such as the shrivelled up arms in the center
