Yamato: You break humanity free from the administrative system and use the wills of all 7 billion dead people to create a new world.

Alcor: You become God at the expense of never having contact with anybody but Alcor ever again.

Ronaldo: Keep resetting the world and fight invaders over and over.

Miyako: Bad end where you and your friends are sacrificed for her brilliant "plan" and then humanity is put on trial again with nothing to protect it, wiping humanity out, and giving you the game over screen.

I actually agree with this, early game at least. You have to grind up demons to get skills onto better ones, unless you're rich enough and at Ikebukuro to access the compendium. I had to grind for Matador my first time, not for my MC, but so I could get buffs onto decent demons.

SMT1, Nocturne, Strange Journey, Persona, Persona 3 FES, Persona 4 Golden, Digital Devil Saga, Soul Hackers, and Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei as a part of Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei.

It's okay. The translation is a bit lackluster though. It's a lot more subdued than the fan translation.
>>
>>95477102

Why not point out Megami Tensei 1? That's even older.

>>95478075

But also more accurate apparently. I guess the fan translator added some flair to the script that wasn't there before.
>>
>>95478192
>But also more accurate apparently. I guess the fan translator added some flair to the script that wasn't there before.

Eh, that's debatable. There's a blog where someone plays through the official translation and the fan translation at the same time and notes the differences. There are a few things that the fan translation rightfully has but the official one doesn't, like the american soldiers speaking in butchered japanese.

A big problem is that Japanese as a language is very open for interpretation.

You can deduct how important Yamato is by simply looking at the cover art, bonus soundtrack cover, and the fact that he is the only character to get two promo videos. Quite important. A joke among the Japanese is that he's the heroine. The game's name, "Break Record", appears to be named after his route or at least related to its concept through word play.

You get him back on Thursday. Like the Septentrione arc, the dragon stream plays an important role in the story. You can't defeat Miyako, free Alcor from imprisonment, or defeat Canopus without him because of Hotsuin shit. Your data is glitchy because you protected Alcor from an attack and it damaged your data, and Yamato is staying in the Akashic Stratum to continuously repair it. The world with Miyako in it is actually a reset version of one where they fought the Triangulum before but lost because your damaged data caused you to disappear. Yamato was the last human alive and managed to kill the last Triangulum by himself but was fatally wounded in the process. As he was dying, Yamato wanted Alcor to give him another chance, to which Alcor takes Yamato to the Akashic Stratum, resets the world again, and an error caused from the missing Yamato, who's repairing your data so you don't disappear again in that world, causes Miyako.

>>95481160
As for how everybody reacts to you becoming administrator in Alcor's ending, the only ones who know are Alcor, Miyako, Yamato, and at the last minute, Daichi, because you lie to everybody so they wouldn't be worried and Yamato is the only one who sees through your lies. Yamato was upset, but he respects your decision and has faith that you know what's best. He gives a speech before you go where tldr he says he's honoured that he'll protect a world that will be watched over by you. While everybody else is lying outside the room unconscious, Daichi awakens, walks in on it, figures out what's going on, then breaks down in tears while reminiscing the things you wanted to do together. Miyako was supposed to accompany you but Alcor kicks her off the pedestal before you go and tells her to live her life happily as a human. When it's time for you to go, Yamato and Daichi freak out and dash to the pedestal as you and Alcor finally disappear for good.

The Triangulum story is a little sadder than the Septentrione one, but if you do Yamato's ending you'll leave on a lighter note.

I guess. Yamato's attachment to the MC is amusingly strange though.

And yeah, he's loyal to you regardless of what ending you choose. A reoccurring theme in BR is that you need each other. Yamato can't win without you, you can't win without him, and you have to keep seeking each other out. Every single thing he does is done for you or because of you. He'll readily be put through hell if it means protecting the MC and his ideals.

By the end of the story he's as close to you as Daichi and Io are, maybe closer. He's the only one who walks right up to you when everybody meets up again in his ending.
>>
>>95484059
I usually throw warcry on him by the end because I have 2-4 demons with Fog Breath in my party. You'll only need Endure if you're having a tough time with Beelzebub or Lucifer, and you can get rid of Divine Shot if you've got Freikugel.

Miyako, I feel she's fine but forgettable amongst the rest of the characters because I'm not into her gimmick, but that's my opinion. She felt disconnected from everything going on with the characters and story outside her own problems, and she felt like a plot device most of the time. Some of the "woe is me" coming from her in attempt to garner sympathy backfired and was a little bit annoying. Sharing the spotlight with Yamato, who I felt was the most well-written character, doesn't exactly help her either due to the contrast in writing quality. On the other hand, she's at her best when interacting with him due to their amusing fights, and accidentally helping each other realise things they don't pick up on their own because they're both socially inept.

As for Miyako's feelings, I'm not sure how to interpret. You could say she's into you, though not as much as the three clear ones (Io, Makoto, Yamato), but there's also behavior between her and Daichi that could be interpreted as flirtatious and she's close to Io. Io tries to fill the role for Miyako that you do for Yamato.

She makes fun of Yamato and calls him a dog because of his devotion/obsession with you which makes me question how she feels. If it's anything, it's not as intense as the other characters.

From what I understood nobody succeeded in that battle to the point that they all have terrible flashbacks to how Arcturus raped them all. Yamato included.

The irony is that even with Yamato, Arcturus is still too STR, and it takes Miyako giving him her power and imprisoning it to defeat it after it multiplies into a thousand cheese graters.

They were all still alive despite dying, so it's likely it stopped attacking once it fatally wounded them each.

Hell the scene shown of Daichi dying and the city in flames is clearly reminiscent of the game over screen, so Arcturus likely went on to finishing the towers since the threats were out of the way, and likely didn't take Alcor swooping Yamato away and making a third world.

The idea is that humans need to fight them off to achieve freedom for themselves no matter how many times it takes. I'm not entirely sure but presumably it's new invaders each time, and Nicaea gets upgraded.

I guess it's a good idea to someone who likes fighting. It could make for interesting stories.

Yamato manages to take that concept of freedom by humans for humans and make it work and be practical long term without being a retard.

Not even. The games are pretty archaic even for that time period. They're good enough to make up for it, but there's a reason that square games from then could pass off as having been mae nowadays for handhelds but these couldn't.

Yamato reminds me of Homura from Madoka for some strange reason. I have no idea why.

>>95503101
because they're both homosexuals?
>>
>>95503101
This game as a whole seems to. One of the endings is about going back in time and fighting over and over hoping for a solution. (And this seems to have happened in-game already a few times) One of them is sending your main character away forever to become like a god. The comparison can't be accidental.

And kyubey already acts like the angels in megaten do. Too bad there's no angels in this world to draw an even more hilarious comparison with, by having one stand around "helping" you.
>>
>>95503101
Yamato doesn't really travel through time and instead enters the Akashic Records which is outside it, and it was Alcor who helped him get there. Then the universe needed a Hotsuin replacement and made him a sister, only to fuck up because even the great will that oversees the universe can't program shit right and made her part Triangle.
>>
>>95503436
The angels are worse than qb. qb is just slightly misleading a relatively small amount of girls into becoming magical girls to save the universe from heat death, the angels actively promote genocide and brainwashing.

They're both doing more or less the same thing though. Shafting a random selection of people because they say its necessary to save more overall. And they're both cold hive minds who are expected to be technically willing to do this themselves, so they don't feel guilty doing it to other people either.

Pretty sure it's the same either way. Someone dying in a fight only matters if you're in control of them, if I remember right, and even then, it's unrealistic to go for that achievement on your first playthrough unless you wanna savescum super hard.

>>95504669
Nah, the only one you should be corcerned keeping alive is Haru, in all of her missions, for everyone else, let them die or save them, whichever you feel like.

I made this graph earlier for my own purposes. Obviously she appeared to originally be more law when working for her dad. But turned chaos when he went crazy. Then realized that that mentality was a little extreme once sayaka started going crazy, and became closer to neutral.

Mami I put halfway between law and neutral, since it seems that in the main story she more or less knew what was going on and was going along with it even trying to get more people involved, knowing the ramifications. But its unclear what percentage of this was for selfish reasons versus actually agreeing with the role.

Homura in a way has a little chaos, but I think that may be closer to dark neutral than to chaos. Its more general than literal. I only spent a few minutes making it.

>>95511263

So let me get this straight. Out of the BR endings am i supposed to assume

Yamato = chaos, since you're doing something that gets rid of the alien blobs for good.

Ronaldo = neutral, since they always talk about how neutral means you'll have to keep fighting. So for some reason you want to literally keep fighting them in order to become balanced?

AO = law, because you are establishing a new god?

This is an interesting thing relating to the alignments in general. Since it basically hints at that yamato was chaotic in a sense all along, but went along with polaris because it was just how to get what he wanted. And even though the first game treated AO like chaos, this new ending isn't much different than his original one. And if this is the new "law" ending, then that means that retroactively his first ending was kind of lawful in a way, too.

Or maybe they just don't give a shit whether it makes sense, because desu2 is now popular, so they want to just throw the characters into a tenuously related story.

It was inevitable to get something like this like how DeSu got Overclocked (and lots of people held off on buying the DS game because of it), and it's not any more popular than the first DeSu over there.

>>95511484
I think you're thinking of smt1.

How? I thought the "point" of his new ending is that if humans prove they can "beat" them off without doing whatever chaotic shit yamato wants to, then it proves human independance.

why do they have to have the same alignments as before? especially since they get a lot of character development.

and I thought the point about Yamato only going along with Polaris just to get what he wants was obvious. he's a psycho and didn't even like Polaris.

and was Alcor really chaos since you're just replacing the old with a new?
>>
>>95512136
Its also kind of ironic that desu pretended to have more endings than just law / neutral / chaos, and yet overclocked ultimately just scaled it down to having those three endings. If they really wanted they could have made an eight day for gin and atsuro. Hell, gins would have been interesting. Make up some excuse for why the comps and your magic still worked, but you have no demons. Either make you fight with no demons against some group that is trying to find some way to bring them back, or give you some token humans who you put in your demon slots.

Then for atsuro it could even have a split of its own that's internally alignment based. Have two different people tying to take over the demonic power in the name of the government, and you side with one or the other. And they vaguely reflect law and chaos, but human versions of them, giving two different endings. This would make for an interesting split in general, since if atsuro's ending counted as anther version of either law or chaos, then counting gin, overclocked has two of each.

>and was Alcor really chaos since you're just replacing the old with a new?
The thing about Alcor is that he doesn't intervene like Polaris and is all for human freedom. Putting him on the throne was more of a necessity since they had no idea how else to get rid of the overlord. Same with Yamato only making a deal with Polaris out of necessity. They had no clue how to overthrow him and didn't want to try anything dangerous for humanity (and when they do it causes the Triangulums).
>>
>>95512615
Well, a lot of people here and in the fandom in general seem to think chaos only counts as chaos if its tribal people punching eachother in the dick in a jungle with no laws. (despite gotou being a leader, ozawa ruling a town with an iron fist, lucifer being a king, etc.) Pointing out that yamato is still chaos rather than law makes for an interesting critique of chaos in general, pointing out that wanting perpetual chaos that you maintain in a chaotic state rather than allowing it to deviate if people want is still a system of a kind.

And desuII treated alcor as if he was a kind of chaos. You unlock lucifer by raising his fate, if I'm not mistaken. I originally thought he would be a wildcard who was some chaos and some law, but his ending and his speech during made it obvious that his "thing" was that the new world would be however people made it. And in the end he says he'd become part of the world rather than its administrator. Since this is more or less what mem aleph did, you can definitely tie it to chaos.
>>
>>95512939
>The thing about Alcor is that he doesn't intervene like Polaris

Which comes off a little hypocritical. Alcor says that without asking polaris, he came to earth and gave them art and civilization, gave yamato's family a magical dragon, guided humans from the shadows, etc. So he very much intervened plenty. And his ending almost comes off like him tricking you into giving him more power to do that more in. But then they handwave this away
>>
>>95513326
>But then they handwave this away
They alluded to it with Yamato's suicide. Whether or not it was Alcor's actual intention or just a sad coincidence is up for debate, but the game definitely acknowledges it with Yamato's freak out.
>>
>>95513618
I just watched that scene now. That's not what yamato freaks out about. He insists that alcor is just working for polaris still and humans shouldn't accept him even though he's an alien blob who was there for that reason. He doesn't say anything about your new plans.
>>
>>95514030
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzlgtrUmmBQ

Isn't he just giving an explanation of why he shouldn't trusted? Either way the game is acknowledging Alcor as potentially deceptive.
>>
>>95514462
But the reason yamato gives for him being deceptive has to do with secretly being a septentrione, implying he's working for polaris or at any rate is alien. He doesn't say anything about putting him in power. And the reasons he gives don't make any more sense than allowing polaris to remain in pwoer
>>
>>95512939
>>95513326
Alcor didn't take the throne. He used it to become one with the earth and becomes a literal father earth.

It's even explained in Record Breaker that he isn't a true Administrator and so sitting on the throne will leave things worse off.
>>
>>95514462
Yamato did nothing wrong.
>>
>>95514674
He doesn't tell you this until after you defeat polaris though. You had no reason to assume that was what he meant up until then.
>>
>>95514030

He says "You've chosen a path: to create a new world with this monster".

>>95514462

What's with the "But.. Perhaps I could... accept your invitation... in the next life."?
>>
>>95514786
But that was still his objective after slaying the Administrator. In fact it's Bunny who goes to him and convinces him to overthrow the Administrator, otherwise he won't do it.

>>95514462
Anyone with a brain could figure out what AO was being secretive about, and that was being a Septentrione.

It wasn't a well kept secret.
>>
>>95515046
>What's with the "But.. Perhaps I could... accept your invitation... in the next life."?
Had to let you know he's queer for you before he kicked the bucket.

That and the whole feud there was personal because he viewed Alcor as the source of his suffering, now screwing with his life yet again.
>>
>>95515575
And yet it's Bunny who seeks Al out and convinces him to overthrow God.

So in that way Bunny was saying Fuck You to Yamato.
>>
>>95515887
Not quite. Al was "subtly" telling you up until then that you should. Then when you talk to him the last time he acts "surprised" that "you" came up with the idea. That reeks of suspicion.
>>
>>95515575
the slow way he says it makes it gayer.
>>
>>95515978
I never saw it that way. It came off more as AO saying something without realizing the repurcussion of his actions or words. Something that has happened ever since he gave man fire.

The only ones who I felt were trying to influence him into joining Al was Male Tico, but it's likely those AIs develop their own personality and make their own actions. Considering they are connected to the Akashic Record and apparently Miyako is the one running Nicaea in Triangulum
>>
>>95516532
His early presence is thousands of years old, and can talk in regular language. Assuming he's capable of understanding humans enough that he could talk to them that long ago, apparently communicates with the hotsuins, and his AIs are programmed to act like people, meaning he must understand a significant deal... I have trouble believing that he "doesn't get" the implications of "do you think humans should be ruled by a giant alien blob star or not?" The very act of asking implies he's considering both possibilities and weighing them against eachother. He can't be surprised that you did the same thing and then picked one.

This is like blue exorcist levels of bad writing, where satan "doesn't know" what death is, despite plenty of the demons who come to earth totally understanding perfectly what human life is like.

They act a little crazy, but they sill look and act more or less kind of like humans. There's no actual reason to assume he doesn't understand even the basics of interaction if he understood thousands of years earlier the implications of giving humans art, fire, and civilization. Its one thing if he just recently started interacting with them. But he's been there since before the dawn of history. That means that a lot of what it means TO be human very well is likely based in part on their interactions with him.

There's no reason why if he's smart he still can't get them. You would have to assume that he's like some lower life form that can barely think intelligently but vaguely cobbles together sentences. Or that he's so alien that he exists on some plane where its not possible to understand. Which clearly he doesn't seem to be too much. These are things that someone who knows how to talk and communicate should at least understand the implications of, whether or not they understand what its like to be the one experiencing them.
>>
>>95517560
Alcor gave humans those things, but it's never suggested he interacted with humanity much.

The most human contact he likely had was the Hotsuin family, and they aren't a good idea for trying to understand most humans.

Alcor's a bit weird with his intelligence, as he admits he has zero understanding of human tech, but still developed the summoning app and Nicaea.
>>
>>95517560
Al needed a Shining One in his life in order to understand humans.
>>
>>95516967
>>95517560
They acted more like demons than humans.
Looks like Alcor just gives humans shit as experiments to see what they'll do with it after, not caring about the repercussions.
I'm curious as to how he met the Hotsuins and why he gave them what he did, it would explain a lot.

>>95517969
Al probably based them on Botis and Bifrons, with a dash of Black Frost.

Considering the silliness of some of the deaths (oh fuck I keep falling down all these stairs), I can't blame them.

Keita's was pretty funny. Some of them like Otome, Io, and Yamato were kind of sad though.
>>
>>95518086
Also, its kind of funny how desuII hadwaves demons altogether. Like... what differentiates them from star beings? What differentiates a universe ruled by a star being from one ruled by a demon of some kind. Why can star beings not communicate with humans at all, save for the top ones? It kind of erases the logic of being being too alien if polaris isn't too alien.
>>
>>95518870
It's no different than angels and YHVH in other Megaten games. They just have fancy names and are portrayed as from space.
>>
>>95518970
But angels and yhvh are the same "type" of thing as demons more or less. Whereas these are implied to be so different that even demons find them different.
>>
>>95519084
I don't recall demons ever saying anything about them.

>>95519281
Its made even more confusing since trumpeter is the only angel, and seems to think that he's still doing some divine judgement. But for who? Certainly not polaris. Is he lost?

>>
>>95519923
Small warning. Although its a lot of people's favorite game, this is mostly due to the battle system. Mythology wise, nocturne is known as the odd one out, since while it has a lot of mythological references, it just kind of throws them all over the place haphazardly in a way that makes it obvious they were just kind of using any demon wherever. You'll need to go into some other games in the series to actually feel like the demons are used right according to their mythology.

I like how Yamato dies as an act of heroism and then basically says it's his punishment for being an ass the whole time.

As opposed to how Ronaldo dies in Yamato's route in what appears to be a blast of self-defence from Yamato when Ronaldo retardedly attacked him for no reason whatsoever.

So should I also play Digital Devil Saga or Devil Summoner?

Unfortunately I'm balancing a job, school, and a girlfriend right now so I can't devote all my time to diving face first into SMT, but I definitely want to play through the good ones.
>>
>>95520368
It may take me a few minutes, but I'll make a short list distinguishing a few serieses for you. This is to let you know I'm responding.
>>
>>95520368

Digital devil saga has some demons appear in it, but they're mostly used in a way similar to persona, rather than being "real demons." As far as mythology goes, its less about the demons themselves, and more about hindu theology of the world in general. With a little bit of buddhist or other theologies thrown in. Note that digital devil saga 1 & 2 are considered one game. The story from one leads directly into 2 after a cliffhanger that is meaningless by itself.

Devil summoner 1&2 has a lot of demons and they actually have personalities. But they're mostly used to tell a story rather than their mythology BEING the story. Raidou 1&2 are technically evil summoner 3&4 despite being called 1&2. They have demons too and are good games, but mostly are just telling a story. Their story ties into mainline a bit and adds to those themes though, but tht won't mean much to you unless you've played those games.

Mainline is 1, 2, nocturne, SJ, and IV. And all but nocturne try to use their demons in thematic ways that tie into a larger world as a whole. With in game "religions" that have to do with them, and which show their relation to humans. For the sake of argument, devil survivor one is thematically considered part of mainline. Devil survivor 2 and nocturne are thematically a little different, but still do have a lot of demons that are shown interestingly. Even though they are used weirdly, nocturne still has a lot of cool demons in it which are given personalities.

Pretty much any game in the series is a great game though. (Though some appeal more to some people than others.) And though the world and mythology of the series itself is interesting and huge, there isn't really any one game that is going to show all of it in a way that does perfect justice. Many of them add to eachother.

I have a question for you guys. I have enough eshop dosh to get either SMTIV or soul hackers, you guys seem to hate both games though after scanning the thread. Are either worth it? Which is better?

The only SMT game I've played so far is devil survivor overclocked and I really enjoyed it. Will I enjoy either of those games?
>>

Both games are good, don't listen to the haters. SMTIV is probably a more fully fledged package though; Soul Hackers is the port of a game for the Sega Saturn and is a bit old school.

>>95528428
More like I have eshop dosh that I acquired for free and was looking for a good game to spend it on. If I enjoy the one I get, I'll probably buy the other.

Are they both the same style of game? Devil Survivor (the SMT game I have played and enjoyed) was great but I really like srpgs. I hear that the main series of SMT games are dungeon crawlers. Are both SMTIV and SH dungeon crawlers or is SH another genre like DS? I like dungeon crawlers too, but the only ones I've really played much are the etrian odyssey games.
I'm trying to figure out which one I'll enjoy more.
>>
>>95529136
SH is more of a "pure" (first person, grid based) dungeon crawler whereas SMTIV is a third person exploration game. They're both good.
>>
>>95472197
Guess I will ask about this over here. About devil survivor early bad ending. It says on the wiki that if neither the player nor the civilians escape, the ending is averted. When this happens, SDF soldiers appear to defend the wall, and the protagonist's party (along with any surviving civilian on the scene) promptly leaves before they are attacked. So what happen after that? You can continue on to the other endings?

Hey, you forgot about me. ;_;
It looks like I missed the confused republican, what a pity. When did he post?
>>
>>95531502
At least several months ago. I think it happened more than once. At least once, but I think twice, a lone person wandered in talking about why the angels and "God" are right about everything, but when asked what it is they were right about started describing things that had nothing to do with the games, but seemed like typical republican talking points. This actually happened a few times, but most of them I doubt are serious. There was only one or two I thought actually were. But I lumped them together.

And what do you mean forgot about you. Who are you? The mysterious third lawfriend who was posting during shitposting week? Or someone else.
>>
>>95531710
Sounds like it was an entertaining read.

Pretty sure we weren't only three guys.
I seemingly posted differently a lot since I didn't get a persona covering all of my posts. I went full shitposter in one of the discussion near the end because I was suddenly alone against the mass, it was pretty funny.
>>
>personas in PQ are ugly as fuck 3D renders instead of the usual illustrations
What the fuck
>>
>>95532259
Yeah. It does seem true that they were lumping certain types of posts together that may not have all been one person. But you realize that that means that some of the posts they call le fucking neuters guy might be you right?
>>
>>95532581
What do you mean?
>>
>>95532649
That's likely even because I was one of the guys accepting the neuter/neutralfag differentiation, although I never really blamed the shitposting on le fucking neuters.
>>
>>95532791
Yeah, well, a lot of things they insist happened that week never actually did. If you ask them, it was literally one lawfriend causing shitposting the entire week. Ignoring that their argument breaks down when you ask what he was shitposting about, and point out that almost all his posts were responses to other neutral shitposters, often many at once. So you can't really paint that as a one way street if you think it was a problem.

Personally, I think its hilarious. I wish we could get more people in here who love legitimate alignmentposting of all sides, to turn it into an everlasting valhalla.
>>
>>95532887
True.
I love that retard that screencaps every law post for an epikk surprise. A lot of the posts he capped were pretty legit in context and also without, still he seems to seriously think that they are shitposts or objectively wrong or just cruel/national-socialistic.

That'd be great.

So if anything he's just making a fool of himself for doing that.

Especially the one recent one he screencapped but no one seems to know why, nor does he tell anyone. The first time he posted it, someone pointed out that it said the opposite of what he was implying it did. And no one knows what other purpose he seems to be posting it for.

Flynn doing some lewd handholding with Isabeau, Flynn dressing up like a militant juggalo and holding a floating demon like a balloon so as not to "stand out", Isabeau wearing Hikaru's schoolgirl clothes and Hikaru wearing Isabeau's samurai outfit, Isabeau in housewife clothing, lots of Isabeau basically. Also kinda neat seeing the interpretation of Flynn dying and meeting Charon.

DEMONIC GENE focuses on Walter and Original Character Gina do not steal, -Prayers- focuses on Jonathan and Original Character Asuma do not steal, while it seems that Dengeki Comic Anthology seems to focus on Isabeau and Flynn.

why is walter wearing sarashi
>>
>>95583624
It focuses on Walter, Gina, and Yuriko. It also shows that Mastema had his own angel henchmen, having the angel Abdiel who slayed Lucifer in Paradise Lost.

Prayers focuses on Jon, his OC friend, and some fallen angel faggot who becomes a real angel again for some reason once he enters a cocoon. Also some Unirabbit.

And they both feature some AU Flynn that was never born.

>>95574587
Mara was a girl in King Abaddon, which came out before SJ. Get your facts right.

>>95518870
Star beings are aliens. Demons are not. Star beings can wipe out humanity and the universe will continue, while Demons rely on humanity for their continued existence.

Except in SJ, Last Bible, Devil Children, etc.

Alcor can even mention at one point they are similar, but different from Gods and Demons.

It's the stars world. Man is just living in it.

Jonathan, Asuma, and Navarre hold off some super demon at the end or something. Glowing Flynn appears, removes the paper from his face, uses Messiah Riser (or Messiahlyzer, whatever), and then gives his power to the other samurai. Jonathan goes Super Saiyan and beats the demon.

An anon from here did chapters 1-7.

Gina is a human experiment.

So is Yuriko, and is a failure to boot.

The experiment was make a human from demon flesh.

Navarre's a pretty cool guy.

Stan is not Satan.

Flynn was never born in both, and in Gene he's an evil black guy with a big white smile.

Walter becomes part Amon, and eventually becomes Soil Walter.

The Angel Abdiel works for Mastema.

Gina is able to go back to Mikado via magic stone bullshit.

The Sky Tower collapses.

Walter lives in Tokyo for the rest of his life.

Black Flynn appears to be doing this all in an endless timeloop.
>>
>>95609548
Judging by how aroused Isabeau was taking michael back, merkabah would probably get in on it.

>>95609803
Also Yuriko dies like a bitch after trying to control Walter and eat Gina.
>>
>>95609286
Yeah, that's what it looked like.

It also gives a bunch of promotional art we've already seen near the end of the book.

She's a human experiment pretending to be something she's not.

Since Gina isn't around in the normal timeline, she likely got munched on by Yuriko like she always wanted.

The whole experiment kinda reminds me of how humans become demons in Mikado, considering all it takes is their emotions going out of control. In Gene this doesn't happen.

For anyone who wants to know, abdiel is actually a pretty interesting choice to have working with Mastema. He's an angel from paradise lost who was hanging around with the demons when they fell, and denounced them, heading back to tell the angels it happened. The fact that he hangs around with who ultimately became demons would make him a useful asset for mastema's angel demon teamup.

The doctor and joe I can almost see if not that there was no one there who you couldn't see just as easily with daichi. At least they admitted only assholes went with yamato.

It's such a minor annoyance to go from mashing heals to having to select them all with the d pad.

At least it loads fast if/when you fuck up.

>Fumi and Makoto
>assholes
Makoto saw the logic of a Meritocracy, even if she deep down didn't agree with it. Also JP's gave her purpose after her injury.

Fumi doesn't have much interaction with people and so isn't good at communicating with others, and she good to where she is because of her skill. Not connections or money, so she can see the logic of Yamato's meritocracy.

Keita's an asshole and is throwing a tantrum because Mummy and Daddy died.

Joe cares about his wife, who due to her sickness wouldn't be able to survive in a world of Merit, and he does come to connect with Ronaldo. Ronaldo even comes to help save him during Joe's deathclip.

Otome was worried for her daughter in such a world, and all the children. Failing to understand that even little lolis and shotas will lead the people with wisdom the grownups can't comprehend.

Keita is basically the Sho of DeSu2.

Except the story isn't focused on him and his temper trantrum.

Also no split personality.

I'm only mentioning this because Ultimax is getting a manga.

I clearly mean the edgy child who can only make bonds by fighting people. I even said split personality.

Is every single character law?

>composer decides tokyo is so bad of an influence that everyone needs to be genocided.
>kitaniji says genocide is bad. Its better to brainwash everyone instead.
>hanekoma says people still have a chance to be good without being brainwashed, but leaves the composer in charge, implying he thinks he's doing a reasonable job.
>Minamimoto acts like he's only in it for himself, but hanekoma considered him a good alternate leader if joshua died. If hanekoma qualifies as law, that means he thinks that minamimoto would qualify for similar goals as well.
>The reapers game as a whole is basically a complicated test to allow people to have another chance to live who are seen as more useful to society. If the composer is law, then by extension anyone partaking vaguely is.
>The main character is musubi aligned.

Fan translations, but only for the first 7 chapters of DEMONIC GENE.(out of 15). The last 8 chapters were made available online, and a few images were saved, but then it was removed and I haven't been able to find anything of it since. For -Prayers-, the first chapter is available in Japanese, but no one ever bothered translating it. I haven't seen any of the other chapters online.

I hate these spawn rates and I hate myself for not giving up already.

Its not really clear what sho is. He acts chaotic in a sense to get power, but there's nothing to indicate that his final goals are chaotic. The psychopathic bitchy lady who decides to work for him closer to the end seems to be, but he clearly didn't give a fuck about her in the first place. If hanekoma trusted him, (not that its explained why he did.) he could just be a more dark / evil version of demonoid akira.

Alternately hanekoma just considered anything better than tokyo being destroyed. But if so, why not do anything more directly?
