Behold, Nanashi.

The strongest SMT protagonist to ever exist.

Bump

Nanashi is so fucking hot I want to lick him all over

>>715209692 (OP)
Because he has friends

>>715209692 (OP)
I like to make Isabobo my goddess and cuck Flynn.
Also yeah Nanashi cool.
Hate the protag of V is a nice guy and cant be an asshat like NanaCHAD.

>>715209692 (OP)
>only beat a weakened YHVH

>>715211516
>not killing all the friends

>>715211571
For me, its the blonde bimbo fairy goddess proxy who talks like a retarded valley girl.

>>715211593
YHVH in V is actually weaker because there are barely any humans to power him up not to mention Steven is a higher form and Nanashi defeated him.
In V you only shape the world. In IVA Nanashi creates his own universe.

>>715211441

>>715212083

>>715212150
I want to fuck Asahi in front of Nanashi and lick his tears and make fun of his erect cock.

These are the same thing.

>>715209692 (OP)
He's fused with dagda much much weaker than nahobino who is now fused with MATTER Lucifers knowledge.

>>715212236
He is my servant and he watches me breed the monkey.

>>715212359
He was weak enough to be bodied by Lucifer.
His bitch and Satan's bitch in 2 and YHVH in IVs.

>>715212730
They arent sincen in Vbyou inherit a system, in IVA is a system being created.

>>715209692 (OP)
Aleph is better. His game is also better.

>>715212083
>YHVH in V is actually weaker because there are barely any humans to power him up not to mention Steven is a higher form and Nanashi defeated him.
I would say it's a complicated comparison. Humans beholding YHVH in person can be more harmful to him than a YHVH who was considered omnipotent by humans before they all got wiped out. While there's nobody to fuel his power, humans observing him in a weaker light can do a lot of harm. I do disagree with the original poster simply calling it a weakened YHVH though. It technically is, but only at the point of them viewing him as the demonized form, which is 50% of the battle. There's also the fact that once he goes into that farm, he stops holding back the appearance of a godly figure and his attacks switch to calamities.

>>715212851
>They arent sincen in Vbyou inherit a system, in IVA is a system being created.
One of the endings in VV is deleting the entire system that the other SMT games are built upon, creating something entirely new as well.

>>715209692 (OP)
Let's see him actually do something without Flynn carrying him.

>>715209692 (OP)
Apocalypse was my first megaten game

>>715211516
Unironically, this.
>Can have goth assasin wife
>Can recruit every single SMT mainline protagonist into his party. Yes, all of them. OG Hero, Aleph, fucking Demi fiend, Flynn.
How the fuck do you beat this without plot convinience?

>>715213471
>Can recruit every single SMT mainline protagonist into his party. Yes, all of them. OG Hero, Aleph, fucking Demi fiend, Flynn.
>HIS party
You mean they all fight alongside him. Demifiend is still the strongest and immune to all damage sources, except the one that didn't exist in his universe.

>>715213471
Post yfw Stephen stands up

Nanashi can crossdress and still get bitches

>>715214457
>Alice and Moh Shuvuu
I wouldn't survive.

>>715209692 (OP)
This is true.
SMTIV timeline is basically THE timeline.
It's the timeline in which other timelines adhere to.
Stephen is literally pals with the Axiom literally the highest plane of existance in Megaten.
The V, DeSu, Persona, all other Megaten timelines are irrelevant compared to IVs.
So Stephen sees Nanashi as THE protag since he sees fit to see him follow the neutral path.

>>715214550

This is a good thread.

>>715209692 (OP)
I remember seeing a big promo of Nanashi ages ago when the game came out and thinking he was a cute tomboy

it counts unless you're an annoying faggot

>>715217491
Is that Code Vein? You did a great job capturing Nanashi's design, whatever game it is.

https://files.catbox.moe/x73vv4.jpg

I lost my save in the last dungeon because I fucked around too much with the emulator saves so I never beat it. meeeeeeeeeeeeh.

>>715219414
Why didn't you backup before fucking around with it?

Flynn jobbed to Krishna, a femboy pajeet armed with only a flute

>>715209692 (OP)
nanashi? second strongest. he still needs to look over his twink ass for messiahs. the nahobino freed his universe from the Mandela system, truly leaving the petty issues of previous smt endings behind

>>715221630
You're calling nanashi a twink while simping for nahobino?

>>715209692 (OP)
Dagda was right.

nanashi is a strong ass kid (after dagda saved his ass)
nahobino is a strong ass twink (after fusing with aogami)

>>715221852
Correct.
I did Anarchy while still being good to my friends, even in the end.

hoy

>>715221908
Same
Except for banacakes.
Fuck her in particular

>>715221876
Difference is that dagda only really helped nanashi when they first met, and from then on just guided him
nahobino is permanently reliant on his boyfriend to not go back to being a regular femboy

>>715222170
I should play apocalypse again.....

>>715221908
I never played 4:A.
Do you mean you picked the polite options with them, even during the final dungeon? Or was it possible to spare all of them?

>>715209692 (OP)
He wasn't the strongest tho

>>715222081
BEHOLD, MY DEMONS!
>Minotaur is Smirking!

>>715222097
I actually have no idea who you mean. I just...couldn't bring myself to be mean to them. Especially not right then, no matter how much they spewed hatred at me.

I guess that's kinda what Dagda was looking for, though. A Creator God who would be capable of making those choices without malice or greed.

>>715221852
He was only vaguely right in terms of his ultimate goal, but he was retarded in every single other way and needlessly antagonistic. Also his plans didn't go far enough.

>>715222170
>nahobino is permanently reliant on his boyfriend to not go back to being a regular femboy
There are other factors to consider.
>protected by a throne room guarded by three keys he can assign to 3 demons to protect
>even more demons protecting him in the throne
>Aogami is always with him
>Tao or Yoko always serving beside him as well

The best chance you would have against him is killing him in true neutral but he's blocked that world off from all gods and demons so it would be impossible to enter. In Nanashi's case all you need is the axiom to shit out a new messiah destined to kill him and his ass is getting handed to him regardless of what he does.

>>715220409

I was very confident in what I was doing kek

>>715222501
I forgot her name. God I hated that blonde bitch so much, killing her felt great. Shame the plot waited right up until the end to let me not have her in my party anymore.

>>715223093
Oh, fuckin'...Nozomi? Yeah, she was...something, to be sure.

Not really.
Literally Twisted Tokyo exists to show that a Messiah CAN fail.

>>715224270
And axiom can just keep making them.

>>715224254
Like she should be for any anon who takes her through the end.

>>715224238
>Abel
B A S E D.

>>715224238
I should really play his game sometime

>>715224426
And they can keep failing.
Lets remember he has zombie Flynn and a Goddess who can birth endless pawns.

>>715224270
Big words for someone in messiah spawning distance.

>>715224238
Ih yeah he has Baldur who is unkillable.
Does Mistletoe exist in Hell or Fake Tokyo?

>>715224694
>>715224616

>>715209692 (OP)
PC remaster when? I want to replay Apocalypse but don't want to dig out my 3DS.

>>715224616
We don't know if they keep failing. Stephen implies his choice is like playing russian roulette. In VV, Satan tells the Nahobino that in all his choices his world succeeds to break the cycle. In true neutral you're told that means holding the throne forever. So he canonically never loses. Nanashi doesn't have any dialog like that.

>>715220871
If you don’t want to fuck her, you are coo-coo banana cakes, dawg.

>>715224816
flat > fat

>>715224616
>>715224728
And how did that work out for YHVH who had dominion over countless universes again?

>>715224903
She wasn’t fat, she just had nice titties and the worst part of her would be wiped out if you took Dagda’s side and chose her to be your mate.

>>715224238
He can't beat Demifiend. Abel also has control over other demons to aid him, so it's not entirely him 1v1ing anyone.

>>715224728
>Ih yeah he has Baldur who is unkillable.
>Does Mistletoe exist in Hell or Fake Tokyo?
Doesn't matter. Baldur's ritual that gives him immortality only extends to all beings that existed within that world. Everyone cried for Baldur out of love, which meant that nothing of all those races could do him harm, except the Mistletoe (Loki) that refused to. You just have to harm him with something that doesn't exist in his universe. It's similar to how Demifiend is so strong that he grew an immunity to all forms of damage except the one that didn't exist in his games.

>>715224792
But Satan is not even on the same level as Stephen so I would not hold his word.
So while Stephen gives ifs, doesnt mean he or axiom automatically dooms Nanashi.
They already lost once. And that was one Messiah. Imagine 2.

>>715225005
>Baldur's ritual that gives him immortality only extends to all beings that existed within that world.
But all current humanity didn't made that oath and still cant hurt him. The excuse given to Mistletoe was inability to consent so anything with a will is held to that oath.

>>715224982
He wasnt a Messiah.

>>715224995
Yeah but Toki didn't even need to be brainwashed all that much.

>>715225172
>But Satan is not even on the same level as Stephen
That's a big fucking assumption to come to when he's hyped up to be this big avatar of the Great Will to dish out judgement to those who disobey the system. He's not as somewhat pointless as he was in IVA as kind of a hollow nod to SMTII just for the YHVH fight.

>>715225312
>That's a big fucking assumption to come to when he's hyped up to be this big avatar of the Great Will to dish out judgement to those who disobey the system.
He cant even keep a consistent powerlevel betweem games just like Lucifer.
Stephen has. He is the closest the series has to an static figure.

>>715225410
>He is the closest the series has to an static figure.
That would be Mido but you aren't far off

>>715225410
You're basically trying to argue that Satan's quest dialog was utterly pointless, you know that right?
>demon power level inconsistency
Because it's different worlds and mostly different Lucifers in each game. I say mostly because of sequels and the like.

>>715209692 (OP)
Space Marine could kick his ass

Is Stephen one guy that can move between universes or did transcending cause all Stephens across all universes to syncronize?

>>715225585
>You're basically trying to argue that Satan's quest dialog was utterly pointless, you know that right?
No. Just that only applies to its own timeline.

>Because it's different worlds and mostly different Lucifers in each game. I say mostly because of sequels and the like.
Thats why I cant take Satan word as some gospel.
He literally dissappears in all games when YHVH ceases so its already a huge contradiction that Satan is hanging around in V.
Stephen at least has been there mysteriously hanging around games without much explanation and then IV builds on that so no contradiction.

>>715225813
>He literally dissappears in all games when YHVH ceases so its already a huge contradiction that Satan is hanging around in V.
What part of him serving the Great Will did you not get?

>>715225172
>But all current humanity didn't made that oath and still cant hurt him.
It's just magic bullshit. The idea was that Baldur was so beloved by every living creature at the time that to make the spell work, it simply required proving that nobody alive would be willing to ever do him harm. It only required a single living entity of any one race to refuse for it to not work for that entire species, which is was Loki achieved when he transformed into the Mistletoe.
>The excuse given to Mistletoe was inability to consent so anything with a will is held to that oath.
Again, this is godly level magic, so it wasn't about consent. There are a bunch of plants and other insects that aren't sentient enough. It's just some forced logic that everything loved him and so it worked. The logic as to why inanimate objects of the universe couldn't harm him could be excused as them actually having zero life to them, so they were excluded from needing to consent.

Baldur isn't even weak against Mistletoes. It's like Superman, he just has no super resistance to them. He won't die or bleed from being poked by one if it's rubbed on him. His skin would be too strong. However, if you punched him with the Mistletoe being in between your fist and his skin, his body would have no choice but to let the Mistletoe force through it.

>>715226174
after playing it myself, it's definitely overhated. it's really not a bad game

>>715225813
You're mixing it up, anon. Satan in VV is not a servant of YHVH nor does he come from a being who only holds power over some universes like that, Satan serves the Great Will directly and casts judgement specifically for him in the same way Stephen acts on behalf of it.

>>715226571
no fucking way they used that satan

>>715226174
I've never understood people liking 4 but talking shit about 4A when it was the better game
I could see how people might dislike both but that's it

>>715226571
Same with Mastema. He is the same dude in each of his appearances and answers to the Great Will directly, aiding whatever form law takes (although only up to a certain point, he fucks with the Archangels in 4 and iirc he doesn’t want the Shekinah to do *too* well.

>>715226763
Mastema does not always answer to the Great Will in every game.

>>715226571
It really is annoying how some anons don't seem to understand that not all universes in SMT follow the same rules or beginning. The only real constant is that YHVH was created as an avatar of "The Great Will" (literally just a phenomena created by human conscious, though we don't know which came first... chicken and egg shit) for each universe that grew too self-aware of things and began manipulated things on a grand scale.

Why are protags in Japanese games always teenagers?

>>715226894
He explicitly does in 5 and I am pretty sure he says as much in 4 as well. SJR I can’t remember for absolute certain, but I remember him freaking out about the Shekinah getting too powerful and not what was supposed to happen, which again says he isn’t part of her law forces in that universe but an outside manipulator

>>715226630
I hate Doi Satan too, but they actually made him kind of cool in this fight. Megido Ark is a cool attack animation.

>>715226905
>trying to apply smt4 rules to every game while complaining about how people don’t understand how the universes are all separate
Lol. Lemme guess, 4 was your first game?

>>715227103
SMT has never been that consistent with its rules, especially since the first 2 mainline games. SMT4 tries to unify past contradictions or retcons, but then SMTV threw some of the things 4 tries to clarify for it's own ideas. 6 will do the same. My point was that SMT games don't follow that much consistency and never will. It's always going to be up to who is writing the next one and how little they care about remaining consistent. We already have the spin-off games like #FE and Soul Hackers 2 showing how fucked that can be when the directors don't care about the franchise and want to do their own thing.

>>715227308
4 has an entirely different explanation just like 3 does. They are different universes and the rules in one don’t apply to others beyond direct sequels like 4A.

>>715226270
Soul Hackers could barely survive a fight against Raidou.

>Thousand year kingdom
is this something from the bible or what

>>715228601
Probably a revelation thing. Which is largely accepted to be written in metaphors. Thousand years of the returned Christ after less than a decade of the reign of the antichrist (something like seven years I think).

>>715228747
ah, I was wondering because it's mentioned in IV and I'm playing through II now where Zayin just mentioned it

>>715209692 (OP)

>>715228849
SMT2 is especially fun because its like the JRPG version of revelation.

>>715228601
No, SMT doesn't have any religious references, it's probably one of the most atheistic and apolitical series out there

>>715228883
As I recall, he is actually summonable and totally playable in Megami Tensei 2 NES and the SNES remake… if you hack him in.

Anyone notice in the remake of Raidou, they flat out changed the MK to be a bunch of brain dead commies?

Agreed. SMT4A is not that bad at all and fixes many issues, you can even argue the alignments and routes are far more interesting than the generic routes of IV. You can have Anarchy route, Neutral Route, The great white route, etc etc. Everything feels unique and exciting.

Are you referring to the first one, or all of the SNES ones? Funnily enough I played the PS1 SMT1. SMT2 is easily the best story out of all of them. SMT if is pure asset flip dogshit and that part where you literally have to walk back and forth for hours to advance the plot is bullshit.

>>715229471
Flynn's choice of giving up and then cosplaying as his OC of darth vader and general grievous' lovechild was clearly the right move.

>>715230115

>>715230059
In the Old Testament, YHVH makes the Pharaoh go mad.

>>715230207
He does that because he was too reasonable and didn’t give a fuck if the jews left.

So what I'm gathering is that this YHVH purposefully made them worship a graven image just so he can scold them for doing that?

>>715230254
YHVH is a cunt, yes.

>>715222413
Just the former, though that being said there isn't a hard alignment lock in 4A so instead if you go against your alignment at that point you get penalized for it.

>>715230254
You talking about the calf? Thats moloch. If you leave the hebrews alone for five minutes without yvhv, they start sacrificing people to moloch. Thats why in the OT, it has to be said twice that they “cannot sacrifice children to moloch.”

>>715230362
Why would YHVH have Moloch on him?

Also complete tangent, but I love how SMTV actually portrayed the other major gods like Moloch as having ruled and been all powerful at some point too. The other games are in this weird limbo where they all kinda just feel like cosplayers except YHVH's crew, but here they actually feel like characters in the world.

He was too strong to take on in a fight even if they ambushed him, they made up some lie to the Hero about having a meeting and when he entered the cave they blew it up.

The other semitic gods like Baal, Marduk, Ahura Mazda, Tiamat, Lilith, etc ruling before YVHV took over is a cute metaphor for essentially the hebrew religion was a hodgepodge of legends in the area. Not only did they take the stories and legends, but there are “historical” battles between the hebrews and other armies where yvhv beats up marduk or whoever.

It isn't really a metaphor, that's how all religions and myths work. Japanese religion adopted stuff from western relgiions as well, and things like the Nekomata are likely just influenced from the Senri of China. And so on. Cultures influence each other when they clash and new myths or interpretations are created. Portraying that concept as beings actually having their throne stolen is cute though.

I did like the way 4A portrayed it with gods mentioning how they split off from other gods to become their own myths

I don’t remember if they ever mention in the profile of Brigid that she was adopted as Saint Brigid in the Catholic church, but that is a neat real world example of exactly that.

Now, Danu as Mary, I have never heard of that ever. Then again, Danu was never a goddess as I understand it. It was just the concept of nature basically, and in the relative modern era, some retard tried to claim it was a goddess.

Danu is a weird one, the only actual mention of such a figure is the name Tuatha de Danann. She has no other mythology

>Baldur isn't even weak against Mistletoes. It's like Superman, he just has no super resistance to them.
This
People mistaking non-resistance for weakness is a bad mistake.
If (You) punched Baldur with a mistletoe knuckle, he'd probably look down at you, then fold you without missing a beat, or at most ask who told you before that.

No, you have to be punching hard enough to kill a man, for the mistletoe knuckle to do it. If you make a mistletoe barbed club, you need to kill him with that club. The mistletoe says you CAN, not that you will.
