'''StreetPass''' is a communication system and core feature of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] line of game consoles. It passively exchanges information between consoles when they pass by each other in sleep mode, affording the player unique bonuses in various games which support the feature. It was inspired by the "Tag Mode" multiplayer feature of the Nintendo DS game [https://dragon-quest.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest_IX:_Sentinels_of_the_Starry_Skies Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies], which exchanged treasure maps with other players that led to rare items and monsters.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author= |url= [https://www.siliconera.com/nintendo-3ds-streetpass-feature-inspired-in-part-by-dragon-quest-ix-success/ Nintendo 3DS StreetPass Feature Inspired In Part By Dragon Quest IX Success]|archive= |published=February 8, 2011 |retrieved= July 18, 2024|site= |type= }}</ref>

StreetPass functionality in {{Link|Game|SMT4}} is unlocked after purchasing the Digital Demon Service app in-game. StreetPass tags with other {{Link|Game|SMT4}} players will grant the player bonus app points and the ability to perform special fusions.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author=Siliconera Staff |url= [https://www.siliconera.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv-has-some-crazy-samurai-costumes/ Shin Megami Tensei IV Has Some Crazy Samurai Costumes ]|archive= |published= May 3, 2013|retrieved= June 25, 2024|site=[[Wikipedia:Siliconera|Siliconera]]|type=}}</ref> Up to 12 StreetPass tags for the game can be stored at a time.

Players can attach a [[Demon]] that they own to a card, losing access to that Demon in the process. A player can set their card to be white or black, with white cards having the attached Demon's stats be increased for each tag and black cards having the attached Demon be fused at random for each tag. Demons attached to cards will also collect items as gifts for the player, regardless of the card's color. In addition, the Digital Demon Service app can be used in battle to perform a special Assist attack, with its power varying depending on the number of accumulated StreetPass tags.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author=IGN Guide contributors |url= [https://www.ign.com/wikis/shin-megami-tensei-iv/Digital_Demon_Service]|archive= |published=July 23, 2013|retrieved= June 25, 2024|site=IGN |type= }}</ref>

In the 3DS version, the player gets "D-Souls" when connecting with other 3DS systems through StreetPass, which can be used to buy special new Demons created for this version or alternate designs for existing Demons.

{{Blurb 
|en=Persona 4 Revival intertwines an investigation into a string of murders with the journey of self-discovery and encounters with the occult, all within a critically acclaimed, classic RPG experience—revived in a new form!

In the rural Japanese town of Inaba, the once sleepy streets receive a cold wake-up call when a mysterious serial killer strikes. Also, what's with the rumor of a mysterious TV channel appearing only on rainy nights? A whirlwind of surprises and otherworldly adventures will make the next year of your high school life anything but ordinary!

'''An Unforgettable Year Awaits''': Move to the countryside town of Inaba and experience moments you’ll treasure forever at Yasogami High School. Classes, club activities, romance, even part-time jobs—whether it’s leveling up your skills or kicking back, how you spend time is entirely up to you.

'''Murder Cases and the Mysterious Midnight Channel''': On foggy mornings, corpses are found hanging from buildings and transmission towers. At the same time, an eerie rumor of a TV channel emerges: "They say your soulmate will appear if you stare into a television set on a rainy night..." As you dig deeper, you stumble upon a realm beyond the screen where you awaken a power to uncover the truth—an inner strength known as “Persona.”

'''Battle Shadows and Conquer the Unknown''': Face against "Shadows" lurking in this other world in turn-based combat. Exploit the enemy’s weaknesses to knock them down, then team up with your crew for an explosive “All-Out Attack”! Strategize your next move by equipping different Personas to bring a unique fighting style and skills to each battle.

'''Explore Beautiful Locales and Meet a Captivating Cast''': From clear blue skies to riversides at sunset and glistening rainy day streets, Inaba’s landscapes are brought to life with revamped graphics. Form Social Links and deepen bonds with town locals through rich story and immersive interactions. The closer your connections, the stronger your journey unfolds.

The developers considered including a gay romance with [[Yosuke Hanamura]] which had been scrapped during development of the original game, but according to producer [[Kazuhisa Wada]] this was not done because it would then need to be done for all other male characters as well, increasing development time.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote=I was aware that some people were talking online about, like, 'Oh, Yosuke,' and they were kind of hoping for that, But we were thinking, if we did Yosuke, we kind of would have to do all the other male characters as well.

==Biography==
===Early Life===
Kaneko was born on September 20, 1964 in the Fukagawa neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan. His parents owned a sushi shop,<ref>{{Cite Magazine|quote=1964年9月20日東京深川生まれ(...)金子: 生まれが東京の深川ってところなんですけどね。生まれも育ちもずっとそこで、家のほうはお寿司屋さんだったんですよ |translquote= |publ=セガサターンマガジン |publisher=ソフトバンク |lang=Japanese |volume= |issue=44 |page=Page 122 |article=クリエイター列伝 |author= |published= |coverdate=December 19, 1997 |transl= }}</ref> where he occasionally worked, and his family residence was located nearby.

Wanting to be popular, he started to take an interest in fashion. He went to discos, joined the {{Wp|Takenoko-zoku}}, and even got an afro hairstyle. After graduation, he applied to a design company but was rejected because he had never studied art professionally. To study drawing, he joined an animation subcontracting company. However, as the number of TV animations decreased in the late 1980s, he decided to change his career to the game industry.<ref>{{Cite Magazine|quote= |translquote= |publ=Jugem |publisher=Media Factory |lang=Japanese |volume= |issue= |page=Page 127-130 |article= |author= |published= |coverdate=August 1999 |transl= }}</ref>

Kaneko claims to have always been good at drawing, and that his teachers would enter his drawings into contests without his permission.<ref name="colopl">{{Cite Web|url=[https://colopl.co.jp/recruit/work/17786/ レジェンドクリエイター金子一馬が新IP創出にコロプラで挑戦]|site=Colopl|published=April 22, 2024|retrieved=April 22, 2024}}</ref>

{{Sectionstub|type=Origin}}
in Hesiod's ''Theogony'', Gaia births Typhon by joining with Tartarus itself, after the Titanomochy. Typhon is described as possessing a hundred snake heads on his shoulders, and with fire in each of his and the snake's eyes. He is stated to have the potential to overthrow Olympus and rule the cosmos, and he makes strong bellows indescribable to the Gods. Zeus goes to battle with Typhon and the impacts cause shockwaves and earthquakes everywhere, including the Underworld and Tartarus. Zeus burns Typhon's heads with his lightning bolts and quickly defeats him, throwing him into Tartarus. From then on Typhon gives the world its moist blowing winds.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=After Zeus drove the Titans from heaven, huge Gaia joined with Tartarus and bore her youngest child, Typhon, aided by golden Aphrodite. His hands were strong and capable of great deeds, and his feet were tireless. A hundred snake heads sat on his shoulders, fearsome dragons with dark flickering tongues. Fire sparkled from the eyes on each divine head, and with each look his eyes burned fire. The voices in all the heads produced indescribable sounds. At times, they made sounds the gods could understand; at other times, they bellowed loudly like a giant bull with unbelievable strength or roared like a proud lion or cried like a litter of puppies, amazing to behold,

or they hissed and made the tall mountains echo. And terrible deeds would have happened

on that day, and Typhon would have ruled over mortals and gods alike had Zeus, father of gods and mortals, not been watching. He thundered loud and hard and the earth shook violently, as did the heavens above and the seas and the Oceanic streams and deep Tartarus. As lord Zeus rushed ahead, all Olympus shook under his immortal feet, and the earth groaned. Beneath them, the violet sea was consumed by the heat of the thunder and lightning and the monster’s flames and winds and blazing bolts. And the earth, sea, and sky all boiled, and the force of the immortals sent great waves crashing over the sea shores, and an endless quake arose; and Hades, lord of the underworld, and the Titans in Tartarus around Cronos trembled in fear of the endless noise and terrible battle-strife. When Zeus had raised his might and taken his weapons, thunder and lightning, he leapt from Olympus onto the terrifying monster and burnt all of his divine heads. Once overpowered by striking blows, Typhon fell over lame, and the wide earth groaned; and as he was struck, flames flew from the thunderbolt lord in the dark, rocky mountain dells, and this awesome blast burnt much of the wide earth and melted it like tin that skilled young men heat in well-pierced melting pots or like iron, the strongest of things, tamed in the mountain dells by blazing fire and melted in the divine earth by skilled Hephaestus; so the fire melted in the earth. And with rage in his heart, Zeus hurled Typhon into broad Tartarus. From Typhon comes the might of the moist-blowing winds, separate from Notus, Boreas, and clean Zephyrus, which are born of the gods and a profit for mortals.

Eros{{Note|{{Translit|grc|Ἔρως|Érōs}}}} is the Greek god and personification of [[wikipedia:Eros (concept)|erotic love]], first mentioned in Hesiod's ''Theogony'' as a primordial deity<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=First there was Chaos, then broad-chested Gaia, the steadfast seat of all immortals who live upon the snowy peaks of Olympus, then murky Tartarus in the depths of the wide earth, and Eros, most beautiful of the immortal gods, who weakens the limbs and overwhelms the minds and wise counsel in the breasts of all gods and humans.|translquote= |des= |chapter= |book=Theogony |author=Hesiod |publisher= |lang= |volume= |edition= |page=7 |transl=Michael Huemann |isbn= }}</ref>. Eros was later more popularly portrayed as a son of [[Aphrodite]], and he was said to fire arrows at people that caused them to fall in love. Eros was later equated with the Roman god [[Cupid]].

In the [[Wikipedia:Orphism|Orphic cult]], Eros, who was there also named Protogonos (First born) and Phanes, was born from a cosmic egg at the beginning of everything. He created the world, the cosmos, the sun and the moon, and was the first king of the cosmos, and father of Uranus. He gave his Scepter to [[Nyx]] who then gave it to Uranus, establishing the succession of Kings of Gods. Him and the cosmos he created were later eaten, absorbed, and regurgitated by [[Zeus]], who laid his claim as ruler of the cosmos in the process.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Orphism preached the simple idea that the world was born from an egg. This primordial egg hatched out the first god, Eros, who was later named Protogonos and Phanes and who was said to be both male and female.

All became suffused with radiance when he appeared and he carried the seed of the gods. With Night he fathered Uranus and Ge among other gods, created the Sun and the Moon and the cosmos for gods and humans to live in. He gave his scepter to Night voluntarily who then gave it to her son, Uranus. The succession of divine rulers then proceeds as in Hesiod’s Theogony. When Zeus castrated and dethroned Cronus after Night told. him in her cave that he is destined to be the fifth king of the gods and gave him certain directions of cosmogonic import, he swallowed Protogonos at Night’s behest and absorbed the entire cosmic order Protogonos had produced.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
Artemis is the Greek goddess of hunting, wilderness, animals and chastity, as well as a personification of the moon.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Artemis: Goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, and chastity, daughter of Zeus and Leto |translquote= |des= |chapter= |book=Theogony |author=Hesiod |publisher= |lang= |volume= |edition= |page=Page 35 |transl=Michael Heumann |isbn= }}</ref> She is the daughter of [[Zeus]] and [[Leto]], and the twin sister to [[Apollo]] who are both renowned hunters with bows.

Her Roman equivalent is [[Diana]].

===Design===
[[File:Efes Müzesi, 2019 10.jpg|The statue Artemis' early designs were based on|thumb|left|120px]]
Artemis's design from {{link|Game|KMT}} appears to be based on [[wikipedia:Temple of Artemis#Ephesian Artemis|the statue]] formerly located at the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus. She appears as a tall woman with many exposed breasts, green eyes, and blonde hair with her arms outstretched, which have detached see-through sleeves. She wears a Greek high hat<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= A 'Rum' (Anatolian Greek) woman in festive costume, which includes a very high hat. From Burdur, urban fashion, ca. 1870.|translquote= |author= |url= [https://www.pinterest.com/pin/302867143672983969/ Pinterest.com]|archive= |published= |retrieved= May 24, 2025|site= Pinterest|type= }}</ref> with large circular earrings, and black skirted pants with white frills and an intricate belt design.

The design used in {{Link|Game|SMTN}}, which is a recolor of [[Diana]]'s design from {{Link|Game|SH1}}, is reminiscent of this statue as well. She now appears as a bow-wielding blue and pale white figure with a cross satchel strap across her torso. She has the same exposed breasts motif, with them appearing on her head, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.

In {{link|game|smt5}}, Artemis appears as a young golden-skinned huntress with short blonde hair and green eyes. She wears a white dress with a blue cape and silver shoulder pads, and silver boots that have stars on her ankles, with her right boot having a thigh-high covering beneath it, along with fingerless gloves and a belt. On her head, she wears a headband with a star motif on either side with an accessory of a crescent moon sticking out of the top. Her right wrist contains a retractable crossbow, and this same arm has an arm bracelet.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
Artemis is the Greek goddess of hunting, wilderness, animals and chastity, as well as a personification of the moon.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Artemis: Goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, and chastity, daughter of Zeus and Leto |translquote= |des= |chapter= |book=Theogony |author=Hesiod |publisher= |lang= |volume= |edition= |page= |transl=Michael Heumann |isbn= }}</ref> She is the daughter of [[Zeus]] and [[Leto]], and the twin sister to [[Apollo]] who are both renowned hunters with bows.

Her Roman equivalent is [[Diana]].

===Design===
[[File:Efes Müzesi, 2019 10.jpg|The statue Artemis' early designs were based on|thumb|left|120px]]
Artemis's design from {{link|Game|KMT}} appears to be based on [[wikipedia:Temple of Artemis#Ephesian Artemis|the statue]] formerly located at the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus. She appears as a tall woman with many exposed breasts, green eyes, and blonde hair with her arms outstretched, which have detached see-through sleeves. She wears a Greek high hat<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= A 'Rum' (Anatolian Greek) woman in festive costume, which includes a very high hat. From Burdur, urban fashion, ca. 1870.|translquote= |author= |url= [https://www.pinterest.com/pin/302867143672983969/ Pinterest.com]|archive= |published= |retrieved= May 24, 2025|site= Pinterest|type= }}</ref> with large circular earrings, and black skirted pants with white frills and an intricate belt design.

The design used in {{Link|Game|SMTN}}, which is a recolor of [[Diana]]'s design from {{Link|Game|SH1}}, is reminiscent of this statue as well. She now appears as a bow-wielding blue and pale white figure with a cross satchel strap across her torso. She has the same exposed breasts motif, with them appearing on her head, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.

In {{link|game|smt5}}, Artemis appears as a young golden-skinned huntress with short blonde hair and green eyes. She wears a white dress with a blue cape and silver shoulder pads, and silver boots that have stars on her ankles, with her right boot having a thigh-high covering beneath it, along with fingerless gloves and a belt. On her head, she wears a headband with a star motif on either side with an accessory of a crescent moon sticking out of the top. Her right wrist contains a retractable crossbow, and this same arm has an arm bracelet.

Artemis appears as a part of the DLC sidequest "[[A Goddess in Training]]" where a [[Bethel]] researcher asks the [[Nahobino]] to look into her.

She can be found at [[Tokyo Tower (Shin Megami Tensei V)|Tokyo Tower]] after hearing that [[Hydra]] has been slain and asks the Nahobino to kill a [[Quetzalcoatl]] to prove his strength. Following this, she will fight him, but after losing and hearing the words of her father [[Zeus]] she will join the Nahobino's party.

VirginiaHeart: /* Games I would play if translated */

Hi. Just a random nerd with a lot of time who likes editing wikis

My favorite megaten game is [[Digital Devil Saga]], my favorite persona game is [[Persona 4]]. I haven't played enough of mainline to have a favorite. I usually [[Alignment|align]] with Law. My favorite persona women are [[Lovers Arcana]] girls but particularly [[Yukari Takeba]]

[[User:CarolinaHeart/Sandbox|Sandbox Link]]

==To Do List==
* Build and refine {{link|game|smtif}} pages as I play through that game, particularly location pages. Have story paragraph and then a floor overview paragraph in the game appearances sections. Include quotations for Hazama's introductions in the story paragraph
* Build the origin sections of demon pages
* Add the live albums to the media credits sections of sound team people
* Read manga and novels and then add to the pages

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is [[Jenna Angel]]'s [[Atma]] in the {{Link|Series|DDS-}}.

==Profile==
===Origin===
Harihara{{Note|{{Translit|sa|हरिहर|Harihara}}}} is a combined depiction of Hari ([[Vishnu]]) and Hara ([[Shiva]]) with one half of the body being Hari and the other half being Hara.

===Design===

==Gameplay==
==={{Link|Game|DDSAT1}}===
Harihara is divided in two phases. In the first phase, she alternates between her Vishnu form and her Shiva form every 999 HP; both must be defeated twice and share buffs. In the second phase, she summons six Cores. Each Core grants its Repel [[resistance]]s to Harihara while it is alive. If two Cores are alive, Harihara can cast [[Reincarnate]]. The party's buffs are transferred between phases.

==Profile==
{{Sectionstub}}
===Origin===
[[wikipedia:Shiva|Shiva]] is the god of destruction in Hinduism, and one of the Trimurti along with [[Vishnu]] and [[Brahma]]. In the Shaivite tradition, Shiva is believed to be the Supreme Being.

In the Vedas, Shiva (lit. "the auspicious one") is used as an epithet of the storm god [[Rudra]]. Most likely by combining the Vedic Rudra with various popular beliefs, the understanding of Rudra would evolve into the present understanding of Shiva.

Shiva is the leader of the Indian branch of [[Bethel]], with [[Vasuki]] acting as his representative. While he creates the dimension in which Bethel meets for the Pandemonic Summit, he refuses to join the summit himself as he considers meeting with the other Bethel leaders as beneath him, with Vasuki going in his place.

Shiva appears as an optional boss in the subquest "[[A Universe in Peril]]". He can only be challenged after defeating Vasuki, and the [[Nahobino]] must be at least level 80. Using a [[Leyline Fount]], the Nahobino will meet him in the [[Summit Conference Hall]], where he explains that he is gathering [[Magatsuhi]] in order to destroy the universe so that it can be returned to its rightful form by the creator god [[Brahma]]. Upon defeat, he will compliment the Nahobino for a splendid dance, and disappear after imparting some words of advice.

===={{link|game|smt5v}}====
Shiva functions the same as he did in the original release of the game, however, if on the ''Canon of Vengeance'', he will be able to be challenged after defeating [[Beelzebub]] instead of [[Vasuki]].

==={{Link|Game|MJT1}}===
On stage 56, if the enemy unit [[Vritra]] is defeated before clearing the stage, Shiva will approach the [[Hero (Majin Tensei)|Hero]] after the fact and, impressed with his strength, join his party as a controllable ally.

==={{Link|Game|DDSAT2}}===
{{Startspoiler}}
In the [[Sun (Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2)|Sun]], Shiva is an optional boss that can be fought after obtaining the [[Pinaka]] from a [[Parvati]] in the 5th layer and onward. Upon meeting, Shiva will challenge the party in order to ascertain if they are worthy to face [[Brahman (Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2)|Brahman]].

When Shiva is defeated, the Aksara [[Mantra (Advancement System)|Mantra]] will be unlocked, and the player will be able to obtain the Turn Ring in Shiva's chamber.
{{Endspoiler}}

==={{link|game|desu2}}===
Shiva plays a key role in the plan to defeat Alioth on the 5th day, and appears as an enemy on certain routes on the 7th day.

In order to defeat Alioth on the 5th day, Shiva and [[Kama]] are summoned to recreate a myth in which Kama angers Shiva by firing his arrow at him, which causes Shiva to destroy Kama using his Pasupata. Thanks to the efforts of [[Hinako Kujou|Hinako Kujo]] and [[Airi Ban]], the two demons are summoned and the story is reenacted, causing Shiva to shoot Alioth out of the sky.

If the [[Protagonist (Devil Survivor 2)|Protagonist]] does not side with [[Daichi Shijima]] at the end of the 6th day, Shiva will appear as an enemy on the 7th day. During the battle against Hinako Kujo and [[Jungo Torii]], Shiva will invite himself to aid Hinako after being impressed by her dance to summon him during the 5th day.

==Trivia==
* When using [[Tandava]] in {{Link|Game|SMT5}}, Shiva recites the phrase "Srishti, Sthiti, Samhara, Tirodhana, Anugraha" in reference to the five manifestations of energy that Shiva manifests with the mythological Tandava dance. {{Translit|sa|सृष्टि|sṛṣṭi|inline=y}} means "creation", {{Translit|sa|स्थिति|sthiti|inline=y}} means "maintenance", {{Translit|sa|संहार|saṃhāra|inline=y}} means "annihilation", {{Translit|sa|तिरोधान|tirodhāna|inline=y}} means "concealment", and {{Translit|sa|अनुग्रह|anugraha|inline=y}} means "grace". These are a variant of the {{Translit|sa|पञ्चकृत्य|pañcakṛtya|inline=y}}, or "five-fold duties" of Shiva mentioned in the Shiva Purana;<ref>{{Cite Web|url=[https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/shiva-purana-english/d/doc225555.html Shiva Purana Chapter 10 - The five-fold activities (pañcakṛtya) and the Oṃkāra-mantra]|site=Wisdom Library|author=J.

==Profile==
===Origin===
[[wikipedia:Vishnu|Vishnu]] is the god of preservation in Hinduism, and one of the Trimurti along with [[Shiva]] and [[Brahma]]. In the Vaishnavite tradition, Vishnu is believed to be the Supreme Being. A notable avatar of Vishnu is [[Krishna]].

In the Rigveda, Vishnu is a deity associated with light, and is stated to have performed three strides (''trivikrama'').

===Design===
While named Vishnu, Vishnu in {{Link|Game|SMT1}} is drawn as [[Krishna]], who would later appear with this design in {{Link|Game|SMTif}}.<ref name="junenshi">{{Cite Book|book=[[Megami Tensei Jūnenshi]]|publyear=1998|author=CB's Project|page=p. 107|publisher=Aspect|lang=Japanese|isbn={{ISBN|978-4-89366-917-9}}}}</ref>

Vishnu's design in {{Link|Game|MIP}} is based around the idea of "transforming" being similar to the use of Personas, thereby making Vishnu the "Persona King".<ref name="junenshi"/>

'''Indra''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
In the historical Vedic religion, Indra is a storm god who is king of the devas. He is also a god of order, and he slew [[Vritra]] with his weapon the Vajra (thunderbolt). As the Vedic religion developed into Hinduism, Indra's importance declined.

According to the Puranas, Indra is not the god's name but a title whose holder changes every manvantara.

In Buddhism, Indra is usually called [[Śakra]], and he is a deva king like in the Vedas. He is subservient to the Buddha, and worships him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=In Sanskrit, Indra is an abbreviation for ŚAKRO DEVĀNĀM INDRAH (“ŚAKRA , the king of the gods”). Indra is the Vedic king of the gods of the atmosphere or sky, who eventually becomes the chief of all divinities in Indian popular religion. Indra is incorporated into the Buddhist pantheon as a guardian of the DHARMA and the king of the DEVA realm. Indra is always depicted in Indian Buddhist iconography as subservient to the Buddha: he worships the Buddha, holds an umbrella over him to shield him from the sun, or carries his alms bowl for him. Indra presides over the heaven of the thirty-three divinities ( TRĀYASTRIMŚA ), the second of the six heavenly realms that exist within the sensuous realm (KĀMADHĀTU ), located on the summit of MOUNT SUMERU .In the middle of this heaven is found Indra’s royal city, Sudarśana, at the center of which is his royal palace, Vaijayanta.|translquote= |des= |chapter= |book=The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism |author=Donald S. Lopez and Robert E. Buswell |publisher=Princeton University Press |lang=English |volume= |edition= |page=Page 372 |transl= |isbn={{ISBN|978-0-691-15786-3}}|publyear=2014}}</ref> The term Indra's Net or Indrajāla is used to describe the pantheistic interconnection of all things.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=
In Sanskrit, “Indra’s net”; a metaphor used widely in the HUAYAN ZONG of East Asian Buddhism to describe the multivalent web of interconnections in which all beings are enmeshed. As depicted in the A VATAM SAKASŪTRA , the central scripture of the Huayan school, above the palace of INDRA , the king of the gods, is spread an infinitely vast, bejeweled net. At each of the infinite numbers of knots in the net is tied a jewel that itself has an infinite number of facets. A person looking at any single one of the jewels on this net would thus see reflected in its infinite facets not only everything in the cosmos but also an infinite number of other jewels, themselves also reflecting everything in the cosmos; thus, every jewel in this vast net is simultaneously reflecting, and being reflected by, an infinite number of other jewels.

other things, but without losing their own independent identity in the process.

He rides a two-headed golden chariot or elephant, accompanied by "Maruts," the gods of storms and rain. He is said to have loved the sacred wine Soma and went around exterminating those who harmed people with his vajra, a vajra hammer. He was also called "Vritrahan" after the poisonous dragon he slew at that time. In the ancient Indian epic Ramayana, he appears as a sky god and lends his power to the hero Rama, an offshoot of Vishnu. The arrow shot by this power was called "Indra's arrow" and was said to have defeated the army of "Ravana," the king of Rakshasa, who was his adversary. In Buddhism, he is also known as Taishakuten, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, including Zouchouten.}}

==Profile==
===Origin===
{{Main|{{Sect|Indrajit|Origin}}}}

===Design===
Meganada's appearance resembles the Embryon's [[Atma]]s. He has a prominent mouth and no eyes. He has 4 arms and is a giant. He has a beetle-like shell, and atop his head is a green crown. He has a very stout appearance with no visible neck and a very round body. He has green bug wings and a green leaf wrapped around his arms like gauntlets, similar to [[Vayu (Atma)|Vayu]]. On both his front and back there are several round bumps on his shell, and when it opens these are revealed as several additional mouths. These mouths are each connected to long retractable extra arms that can move independently. His entire body has ridges that resemble a drain pipe. Each of his elbows and knees have circular protective pads.

==Gameplay==
Meganada has two forms with different skills and resistances: a Physical form and a Magical form, which he switches between with [[Moksha]]. Both forms have access to [[Black Bhakti]], which simply telegraphs [[Viraj Blade]] or [[Meru Thunder]].

Meganada is a nonspeaking, roaring giant demon that [[Jenna Angel]] releases to kill the [[Lokapala]] in the [[Power Plant]]. [[Roland]] leaves the [[Embryon]] to try and kill it himself, but fails. He escapes to the controls of the Power Plant to blow it up with Meganada in it. [[Argilla]] leaves herself to assist him, only to find Meganada devouring Roland. She distracts Meganada long enough for Roland, who was still alive, to detonate the Power Plant, killing himself, Argilla and Meganada.

In the [[Sun (Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2)|Sun]], Meganada's data guards the path to [[Brahman (Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2)|God]].

'''Indrajit''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
Meghanada{{Note|{{translit|sa|मेघनाद|Meghanāda}}}} is, in the Ramayana, the eldest son of the rakshasa king [[Ravana]]. A fierce warrior, after his father's capture by [[Indra]], Meghanada conquered the devas' realm Svarga (also called Indraloka) and captured Indra, gaining the epithet Indrajita{{Note|{{translit|sa|इन्द्रजित|Indrajita}}}} (lit. "conqueror of Indra"). [[Brahma]], in exchange for Indra's freedom, granted Meghanada the boon to win any battle so long as his yajña at Nikumbala remained undisturbed. However, he is ultimately defeated and killed by Lakshmana.

===Design===
Indrajit is a recolor of [[Shiva]]. His sprite in {{Link|game|smtif}} and RTS icon in {{link|game|smtn}} features additional headwear that Shiva does not have, but his in-game model in ''Nine'' lacks this headwear.

Ialdabaoth,{{Note|{{Translit|grc|Ιαλδαβαώθ|Ialdabaṓth}}}} also spelled Jaldabaoth or Yaldabaoth, is a name applied to the [[Demiurge]], i.e. the creator of the material world, by the Sethians, a Gnostic group in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The Sethians saw Yaldabaoth as actively malevolent, unlike Valentinus's description of an ignorant Demiurge.

===Design===
Yaldabaoth has two faces, one upside-down, which connect to one another. This is to represent countless faces.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=ふたつの顔でひとつの顔を形成するイラストは、無数の顔を意味している。|book=[[Kazuma Kaneko Works III]]|publyear=2008|publisher=Shinkigensha|page=p. 28|isbn={{ISBN|978-4-7753-0609-3}}|lang=Japanese}}</ref>

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Demon]] in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]].

==Profile==
===Origin===
In the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, Abaddon (lit. "destruction") is a term used for a bottomless pit or abyss closely associated with Sheol (the realm of the dead). In the Book of Revelation, however, Abaddon is identified as an "angel of the bottomless pit", and a Greek-language gloss "[[Apollyon]]" (lit. "destroyer") is given for the name. Abaddon/Apollyon is king over locusts that have the faces of humans and the tails of scorpions that, for five months, torment humans without the seal of God on their foreheads.

===Design===
In its ''Shin Megami Tensei'' design, Abaddon appears as a dark green demon with a blob-like body and a massive, gaping mouth. Its eyes are yellow and lack pupils, and its body is dappled with small warts. It has short, reptile-like arms and hands with long fingernails.

In its ''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne'' design, Abaddon appears as a massive demonic head with green-gray skin. It has two white-feathered wings sprouting from the top of its head, and its ears have a wing-like shape. Its eyes are yellow, and it has a very long tongue.

{{Startspoiler}}
When [[Aleph]] and [[Hiroko]] are on their way back to [[Valhalla (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Valhalla]] to meet up with [[Mekata]] after the latter was rescued from the [[Factory (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Factory]], they are stopped in their tracks by [[Zayin]], who hurriedly informs them that Valhalla had just been swallowed up by Abaddon under orders from the [[Center]]. Attempting to enter the district confirms this, as all that is left of it is a black empty void. If Aleph speaks to [[Louis Cyphre]] in the [[Underground Tokyo]], he will tell them it seems like Abaddon was betrayed by the [[Center Elders|Elders]], and that he is probably in the [[Makai (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Makai]] now.

Much later in the game, when attempting to enter the [[Beriah Corridor]] in the Makai, Aleph's party is sucked into a black hole that transports them [[Inside Abaddon's Body|inside Abaddon's body]]. Venturing further inside leads them to find the fading remains of Valhalla, which is slowly being absorbed into Abaddon's body, including a dying [[Madam]], who laments on the fate of the district before completely fading away. The [[Slum (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Slums]] are still left intact however, and entering it leads to Aleph and Hiroko finally reuniting with Mekata, who explains the truth of the [[Messiah Project]], and then hands them the MAG Presser to materialize Abaddon's heart.

At Abaddon's core, he taunts the party, explaining that his body is a dimensional rift with no true form, making it impossible to kill him, a statement proved wrong when Aleph uses the MAG Presser to give him a form and then attacks it. As Abaddon dies, he reveals that [[Michael]] had promised him that he would be returned to his form as an angel, and that this was why he listened to the Center's wishes. Aleph's party is then spit back out to the entrance of the Beriah Corridor to continue their journey unimpeded.

====Visionaries====
Abaddon is featured in one [[Visionary]] cutscene in the Game Boy Advance and iOS versions of the game.

"Steel Locust" details the event in which Abaddon was convinced to work with the Center. In it, Abaddon speaks to the red Elder, who brings up how the former used to be an angel before he rebelled against [[YHVH|God]] and became a fallen angel. He asks him if he would like to return to his original form, to which Abaddon answers affirmatively, expressing disgust at his current, ugly form and remembering fondly the pure white wings of when he was an angel. Though he is still hesitant to trust him, Abaddon eventually agrees under the promise that the Elders speak to God about restoring him to an angel.

==Nomenclature==
The usual Japanese name of this demon, {{Translit|ja|クバンダ|Kubanda|inline=y}}, is a katakana rendering of the Sino-Japanese term {{translit|ja|鳩槃荼|Kubanda|inline=y}}, which is derived from the Sanskrit {{translit|sa|कुम्भाण्ड|Kumbhāṇḍa|inline=y}} through a Chinese intermediate. The spelling used in ''Last Bible II'' and ''Last Bible Special'' ({{Translit|ja|クパンダ|Kupanda|inline=y}}) and that in the ''Digital Devil Saga'' and ''Persona'' series ({{Translit|ja|クヴァンダ|Kuvanda|inline=y}}) are corruptions thereof.

The name in ''Last Bible III'', {{Translit|ja|クムバーンダ|Kumubānda|inline=y}}, is derived directly from Sanskrit.

===Origin===
Metatron{{note|{{translit|he|מֵיטַטְרוֹן|mêṭaṭrôn|inline=y}} in Tractate {{wp|Hagiga}} and {{translit|he|מְטַטְרוֹן|məṭaṭrôn|inline=y}} in {{wp|Tractate Sanhedrin}}}} is an angel in Rabbinical Judaism that is mentioned in the Talmud. He is the scribe of heaven who writes down the deeds of Israel, and the Talmud also mentions and condemns a belief where Metatron was seen as a second god. Kabbalistic tradition states that he is the angelic form of [[Enoch]] after he ascended into heaven, and he is referred to as the "lesser [[YHWH]]."

===Design===
In {{link|game|SMT2}} and most other entries, Metatron is a metallic, robotic humanoid whose silver body is adorned with intricate golden patterning. He has golden hair and green eyes with cross pupils, large blade-like wings, and he wears a white robe bearing a holy cross.

In the {{link|series|DC-}}, Metatron boats a muscular, pale yellow figure and yellow wings, kneeling on a large sword which melts into a pool of shadows. He wears a blue and red mask, a white robe with red embroidery, a belt, red bangles and ankles, and sandals.

In the [[Labyrinth of Amala]]'s [[Fifth Kalpa]], before reaching the elevator that will take him to the [[Old Man in a Wheelchair]], the [[Demi-fiend]] is stopped by Metatron, who is disappointed to find that he did not heed his warning from an earlier kalpa not to proceed further into the Labyrinth. Wishing to stop [[Lucifer]]'s plan of creating a new demon in its tracks, he declares by God's Will he will destroy him and attacks the party.

{{Main|section=1|{{Sect|YHVH|Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey}}}}
On a [[New Game+]] playthrough, a strike team member can be found inspecting the door in [[Sector Grus]] that was guarded by a [[Power]] on a new game playthrough. Once the [[Protagonist (Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey)|Protagonist]] obtains the Unlock E app, the crewman will acknowledge him and tell him of a treasure that lies beyond the door. As a demon guards the treasure, he asks the Protagonist to explore the area with him, and accepting the request will initiate the EX [[mission]] "[[The mother goddess' gravestone]]". Eventually, at the end of the area, the two encounter [[Alilat]], who speaks of a seal and attacks them to prevent the aforementioned seal from being undone. After Alilat is defeated, the strike team member reveals his true identity as an aspect of [[YHVH|God]] and absorbs the power of the broken seal, transforming him into Metatron. Metatron expounds on his current condition, explaining that God had grown weak and so was torn apart by the [[Mother|mother goddesses]], who sealed His dispersed power across the [[Schwarzwelt]]. Metatron senses another part of himself sealed deep in the sector, so he once again asks for the Protagonist's assistance on the matter regardless of his alignment.

Accepting his request starts the "[[False god in chains]]" EX Mission, where Metatron and the Protagonist go down an elevator that leads to a room with God's sealed power. Before they enter it, a disembodied female voice pleads with the Protagonist not to go any further, but Metatron tells him to disregard it. Using Enemy Search C to make power manifest itself, the sealed power takes the form of the [[Demiurge]] and starts indiscriminately attacking everything. Once it is defeated, Metatron attempts to fuse with it to regain his true form.

After the [[Embryon]] defeat [[Feng Huang]], [[Long]], [[Baihu]], [[Gui Xian]], and [[Orochi]], and obtain the Red Ring off the body of the woman who succumbed to the injuries Orochi inflicted onto her, they can return to [[Ajna]] and encounter a newbie. The newbie recognizes the Red Ring as having belonged to his girlfriend, and falsely assuming that the party devoured her, angrily transforms into his [[Atma]] Avatar, Metatron, and attacks the party. Throughout the fight, the newbie's Metatron persona begins to override his human personality until nothing is left of his original consciousness. Upon his death he drops the Seraph Quill.

==Trivia==
*In {{Link|Game|DeSu1}}, Metatron's boss racial skill "Lesser YHVH" is a reference to one of his titles in scripture, such as 3 Enoch 12:5. This may also be referenced in {{Link|Game|SMTSJ}}, when Metatron refers to himself as "the visage of a lesser deity".<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''悪魔:''' これは、小さき神の似姿。神霊の一部とでも申しましょうか。 |translquote='''Demon (Metatron):''' This is the visage of a lesser deity... an aspect of the Holy Spirit, if you will.|title={{Link|Game|SMTSJ}}|developer=ATLUS|publisher=|platform=|version=|lang=|transl=ATLUS}}</ref>

On the last day of March following the ending of {{Link|Game|P3}}, the remaining members of [[S.E.E.S.]] contemplate the reason for the [[Makoto Yuki|protagonist]]'s fate, with even [[Aigis]] unable to ascertain the true cause. Aside from this, they also remain frustrated at the influence [[Strega]] has continued to hold on the public. In her dorm room, Aigis recounts her final moments with the protagonist and that she failed to keep her promise to protect him. As she awakens, she sees a [[Philemon|blue butterfly]] in front of her before it vanishes. When she exits her room, she finds her dormmates cornered by a figure similar to herself. She reveals herself as [[Metis]], claiming she came to the dorm to protect Aigis by eliminating what she perceived as threats. Before Metis is able to kill [[Ken Amada]] in [[Orgia Mode]], Aigis sees a vision of the protagonist that causes her to use the power of the [[Wild Card]], allowing her to summon [[Orpheus]], his original [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]].

With Metis defeated and restrained, she explains that every day after will continue to be March 31st due to a time disruption, and that her attempt to kill the dorm's members was in order to get rid of the [[Abyss of Time]], a seemingly infinite stretching desert that has appeared beneath the building. S.E.E.S., now accompanied by Metis, sets out to find the cause of the Abyss of Time's existence in order to allow time to continue.

===Pre-Release===
''{{PAGENAME}}'' was first revealed in April 2021 as ''Code Name: X'', a mobile game entry in an unnamed famous Japanese console game series; it was speculated to be connected to {{link|game|p5}} because of the general aesthetic of the visuals and audio of the game, website assets that were prefaced with a "P5" in the filename, and the binary code in the trailer translated to "Persona 5X." Two character introductions were released for characters resembling [[Yukimi Fujikawa]] and [[Wonder|the protagonist]].<ref>{{Cite Web|url= [https://www.gematsu.com/2021/04/perfect-world-games-announces-persona-5-mobile-game-code-name-x Perfect World Games announces Persona 5 mobile game Code Name: X]|archive= |published=April 13, 2021 |retrieved= April 17, 2025|site= |type= }}</ref>

During the stream, the panelists announced the release date, showed a story trailer, fielded questions from English and Japanese games journalists, and introduced the main characters and [[Phantom Idols]]. After this segment, the English stream went to the pre-registration announcements. The Japanese stream had additional content and was around 50 minutes longer. It showed footage of Motoha's awakening, Motoha's voice actor exploring Kiuchi's Palace, footage of the protagonist meeting Yui in virtual real estate, Yui's voice actor exploring Shibuya, and then both voice actors did a drawing activity where they designed their own Phantom Idols. Roughly 8 hours prior to the live stream, the game's App Store and Google Play listings became public, listing a release date of June 26, 2025.

StreetPass

2025-05-19T02:38:58Z

VirginiaHeart:

{{Stub|type=Mechanics}}

'''StreetPass''' is a communication system and core feature of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] line of game consoles. It passively exchanges information between consoles when they pass by each other in sleep mode, affording the player unique bonuses in various games which support the feature. It was inspired by the "Tag Mode" multiplayer feature of the Nintendo DS game [https://dragon-quest.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest_IX:_Sentinels_of_the_Starry_Skies| Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies], which exchanged treasure maps with other players that led to rare items and monsters.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author= |url= [https://www.siliconera.com/nintendo-3ds-streetpass-feature-inspired-in-part-by-dragon-quest-ix-success/ Nintendo 3DS StreetPass Feature Inspired In Part By Dragon Quest IX Success]|archive= |published=February 8, 2011 |retrieved= July 18, 2024|site= |type= }}</ref>

==Game Appearances==

==={{link|game|smt4}}===

StreetPass functionality in {{Link|Game|SMT4}} is unlocked after purchasing the Digital Demon Service app in-game. StreetPass tags with other {{Link|Game|SMT4}} players will grant the player bonus app points and the ability to perform special fusions.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author=Siliconera Staff |url= [https://www.siliconera.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv-has-some-crazy-samurai-costumes/ Shin Megami Tensei IV Has Some Crazy Samurai Costumes ]|archive= |published= May 3, 2013|retrieved= June 25, 2024|site=[[Wikipedia:Siliconera|Siliconera]]|type=}}</ref> Up to 12 StreetPass tags for the game can be stored at a time.

Players can attach a [[Demon]] that they own to a card, losing access to that Demon in the process. A player can set their card to be white or black, with white cards having the attached Demon's stats be increased for each tag and black cards having the attached Demon be fused at random for each tag. Demons attached to cards will also collect items as gifts for the player, regardless of the card's color. In addition, the Digital Demon Service app can be used in battle to perform a special Assist attack, with its power varying depending on the number of accumulated StreetPass tags.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author=IGN Guide contributors |url= [https://www.ign.com/wikis/shin-megami-tensei-iv/Digital_Demon_Service]|archive= |published=July 23, 2013|retrieved= June 25, 2024|site=IGN |type= }}</ref>

An update released for the game will grant players additional app points for connecting with systems who are playing {{Link|Game|SH1}} or ''Etrian Odyssey IV''.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=After a little digging it appears it just allows you to access the Streetpass bonuses for Streetpassing someone with Etrian Odyssey 4 or Soul Hackers.|translquote= |author=Ziek |url= [https://www.giantbomb.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv/3030-31809/forums/anyone-else-notice-the-streetpass-update-1447265/#js-message-6806729]|archive= |published= July 31, 2013|retrieved= June 25, 2024|site=GiantBomb |type= }}</ref>.

==={{link|game|smt4a}}===

==={{link|game|SH1}}===
{{Main|[[Nemechi]]}}
In the 3DS version, the player gets "D-Souls" when connecting with other 3DS systems through StreetPass, which can be used to buy special new Demons created for this version or alternate designs for existing Demons. A demon called Nemechi grows with each StreetPass tag, starting as a wisp and growing into many different forms.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|author=Siliconera Staff|url=[https://www.siliconera.com/soul-hackers-for-3ds-has-new-streetpass-powered-demon/ Soul Hackers For 3DS Has New StreetPass Powered Demon]|archive=|published=June 20, 2012|retrieved=December 11, 2023|site=[[Wikipedia:Siliconera|Siliconera]]|type=}}</ref>

==={{link|game|PQ1}}===

==={{link|game|PQ2}}===
In {{link|game|PQ2}}, players can set a specific [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]] as tradeable, and it will be automatically traded with players who use StreetPass. If a Persona received from StreetPass is a higher level than the current highest-level party member, it will be added to the [[Compendium]], but will not be summonable.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|author=Iyane Agossah|url=[https://www.dualshockers.com/persona-q2-shop-streetpass-screenshots/ Persona Q2 Details Item Shop and StreetPass Features with New Screenshots]|archive=|published=October 5, 2018|retrieved=December 11, 2023|site=DualShockers|type=}}</ref>

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[wikipedia:32-bit computing|32-bit]] [[wikipedia:Sixth generation of video game consoles|sixth generation]] [[wikipedia:Handheld video game console|handheld video game console]] developed by [[Nintendo]] and released March 20, 2001 in Japan, June 11, 2001 in North America, and June 20, 2001 in PAL regions. The GBA was very powerful for a handheld console in its time, being slightly more powerful than the [[Super Famicom]].{{Citation Needed}} The original model lacked a backlight, so games on the console had high color saturation to compensate. GBA was backwards compatible with [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games.

The first [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'']] game released on the platform was {{Link|Game|DCLD}} on November 15, 2002.

'''Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin'''<ref>{{Cite Game|quote=Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin.|title=Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army|developer=Atlus|publisher=Atlus}}</ref> is a character in the {{Link|Series|DeSum-}}.

==Profile==
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin is based off of the {{wp|Grigori Rasputin|real-life mystic of the same name}} who held immense influence over the Russian Empress {{wp|Alexandra Feodorovna (Alix of Hesse)|Alexandra}}, as he claimed to be able to soothe her son {{wp|Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia|Alexei}}'s hemophilia. In December 1916, Rasputin was killed by a group of nobles who opposed his influence over the Russian crown.

Despite Rasputin's death, a man using Rasputin's identity is working for [[Munakata]] at the time of {{Link|Game|DSRK1}}{{'}}s events.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote=He claims to be Russian, though the only man with that name is confirmed dead. He worked as a spy for Munakata, doing surveillance and the occasional assassination. He seems unpredictable, but there's a definite method to his madness. That's all I was able to determine, but I suspect he's also involved in the occult.|title=Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army|developer=Atlus|publisher=Atlus}}</ref>

==Gameplay==

==Manual==
{{Manual
|dsrk1=A charismatic priest thought dead after multiple assassination attempts in 1916, the Mad Monk has surfaced alive and well in the Capital. His services as a Dark Summoner are available to the highest bidder; question is, who's he really working for? Rather than using tubes like Raidou, Rasputin's method of summoning involves conjuring demons from his collection of matryoshkas, or Russian nesting dolls.

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[wikipedia:32-bit computing|32-bit]] [[wikipedia:Sixth generation of video game consoles|sixth generation]] [[wikipedia:Handheld video game console|handheld video game console]] developed by [[Nintendo]] and released March 20, 2001 in Japan, June 11, 2001 in North America, and June 20, 2001 in PAL regions. The GBA was very powerful for a handheld console in its time, being slightly more powerful than the [[Super Famicom]].{{Citation Needed}} The original model lacked a backlight, so games on the console had high color saturation to compensate. GBA was backwards compatible with [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games.

The first [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'']] game released on the platform was {{Link|Game|DCLD}} on November 15, 2002.
