There are countless demons from all across the world added in shin megami tensei. From the angels and demons of modern religions(show lucifer), regional folklore figures(show ippon datara), and even pop culture figures(show hell biker), but there are some demons that always stood out to me as strange. These are some demons I recognized not from old religious books or stories of legends, but local news and true crime. This got me interested in researching some of these demons based on real people, but the further I researched the more I understood why they deserved to be called demons. True evil isn’t something just in the realm of fiction, the most frightening demon could be right next door. This is a pretty big departure from the normal SMT Lore videos as it has very little to do with shin megami tensei in the first place, but this little dive into true crime is something I've wanted to do for a while now. Richard Ramirez and Aleister Crowley would normally have no business being in the same video, but that is the beauty of shin megami tensei and smt lore in general. True crime is an incredibly interesting genre of youtube video, and I hope to do the case studies of these individuals justice. Richard Ramirez or the night stalker

It’s so weird how Crowly’s life reads like an actual biblical story or parable- A child of god that went astray, enough to be called the beast of revelations. But even to a man such as that, God would give another chance, sending an “Angel”. And once he took The Lord’s mercy, he was blessed with loyalty, family, and love. For himself, and for God. Seriously, it sounds like an actual Bible verse.

@alejandromagnobarrasa9244 Год назад

Instruct a child in the way He should go and He will not depart from it when he is older. It was what I felt when knowing what happened to his Father. It was sad, but glad that it didn’t end in prosperity for him, but just as His Father wanted living simply as a family man in his old age. In truth all of it may have come from the simple fact that his father would speak blessings with his own mouth but fill the mouths of others with poison. I’d rather be dead at 12 and faithful to Him that made me then reform, but again He would have healed me. Like he did many others that became missionaries and preachers of that time. Wait for the woman that God chooses for you much sin is in the careless partaking of bodies.

Muhammed will never be in SMT because even Atlus knows that depicting Mohamed in a visual format, especially as a "demon," will offend literally every Muslim on the planet and practically give them a death sentence from radical jihadists. South Park literally almost ended because they were planning a "Jesus VS Muhammad" episode that got so much backlash from Muslims in particular that they got like 30 major bomb threats from multiple major terrorist groups so they had to cancel the episode and put the show on hiatus for their own safety.

The Crowley/Master Therion story was really interesting, but Night Stalker's real life influence was straight up disturbing

@windofchaosblows Год назад

Yoshitsune is actually based on real person as well, even if ancient historical hero rather than something more recent, his story is quite interesting too, Yoshitsune Minamoto played a crucial role in war between Minamoto and Taira clans he was extremely skilled swordsman and strategist and oftenly considered the only reason why his clan succeeded, he ended up betrayed by his brother and exiled since his brother feared that Yoshitsune can take power for himself, growing even more paranoid of now exiled Yoshitsune he send his troops after him which forced Yoshitsune and his family to commit seppuku, so yeah Yoshitsune is pretty interesting character with tragic backstory and the main reason why he is a demon in the series is because of the two legends about him, first states that he trained under tutelage of tengu and second says he took revenge on his brother from beyond the grave appearing before him as a ghost and causing him to fall from his horse

@Mariesun Год назад

There are even more characters based on historical figures, such as Jeanne D’Arc, Saladin and Tokisada. I definitely missed out on more but I’d love to see it being discussed more, makes for interesting conversation

@snailthelostcow63 Год назад

And of course his infamous eight boat leap (hassou tobi) as well. Probably the main reason why some believed he truly was trained under a tengu

@FFXI_Addict Год назад

@@snailthelostcow63the Tengu stories began when he was around 16 years old? If I recall? Before his induction into the Minamoto clan, he was training with monks in various disciplines. It was swordmanship he not only excelled at, but seemed too talented for his age. One version of the story goes that some monks were watching his training and asked each other "did you teach him how to do that?" "No," one replies, "I thought you were teaching him." "No. I thought you were." Nobody seems to know who taught him his swordmanship specifically. If we go on a purely scientific route, he had a hard life and such children tend to become ultra-perceptive. It's likely he simply watched and mimicked what he saw, and since he was young with pliable bones, he created his own methods of fighting amalgamated from all the monks he observed. But it was easier to ascribe the unknown to deities in that era. In a way, it's a bit sad that children are so looked-down upon that the only way it made sense for people was to say a demon trained him, because nobody could accept a child being better than them.

The house shown in the video belonged to Crowley and it's now an abandoned ruin in Sicily which some times hosts local raves, I guess his legacy lives on.

Would absolutely love a follow up to this one talking about other demons based off of people like Jack the ripper. I always saw Nightstalker as a throwaway demon until now

I’d love to see more real historical (human) monsters in SMT

@aortaplatinum Год назад

This is part of why I love SMT. While stories based in fantasy worlds have to establish their lore, since SMT is based in an alternate version of our own reality, understanding SMT lore helps understand real world lore and vice versa

Aleister Crowley actually turned his life around and even got something like redemption?! I had no odea. That's actually uplifting to hear. Plus, this Aleister ended up better than the one in Toaru franchise😂

Fascinating indeed

@ParrotMan01276 Год назад

Also True Crime gets interest because it's...well to use the Nightstalker's words "Fascinating". Hearing about how absurd or dark a case is compared to the viewer's normal life almost feels like you are watching fiction...but it's real. It doubles into horror, of course, and can even dip into a thriller if the cases were unsolved. I like watching commentated Police Interrogations, Forensic Files, and the occasional documentary. Though I can get exactly why the subject matter is too dark or too disgusting for some. I tried to explain it, but I probably did a bad job.

Interesting that Crowley actually looked up to his father as a child.

What about Nobunaga Oda? I remember fighting him in Persona 2. I believe just called Evil Shogun or something like that.

Funny that a philosophy of indulgence and hedonism would be ashamed of its founder for his indulgence and hedonism.

Covering up the bad parts of their lifestyle, even at the cost of their leader's life. What a strange group

Hey if you wouldn't mind do you happen to have the source where the info on Crowley and his uncle came from? I wanted to read up more on that but I can't find anything for some reason

@Toothache42 Год назад

Iirc the extra Arcana used in Persona 3 and 4 (Aeon, Jester, Hunger) are from the Thoth deck, either created or popularised by Crowley

some idiot in a crime channel video posted: "evil doesnt exist. mental patterns do" i sat there and wondered if humanity is cursed to repeat itself. then i replied: "evil exists, mental patterns are excuses" then i linked this video. thanks for the vid Tony4you!

It is cursed to repeat itself, that's why we need the Schwartzwelt.

If we don't believe evil exists we can't fight against it. Always be quick to learn, and keep watching Tony4You!

Both exist any they aren't mutually exclusive. It's a false dichotomy to suggest otherwise.

one figure i'd love to see is a greek figure who also happens to be the title of one of my favourite albums of all time: Pygmalion. basically a Greek sculptor & king who falls in love with one of the statues he carved, which then said statue came to live. could maybe be depicted with a carving knife and a bible or other tome
