Novel Appearances

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse Prequel: Asahi Side

This section contains spoilers. (Skip Section)

This short story[3] details the encounter with Dantalian featured in the Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse Prequel: Nikkari Side short story, where it is framed as a flashback from Asahi's perspective. In the flashback, her nerves and fears are shown to get the best of her, causing her to break down and doubt the group's chance of surviving the encounter. But Nanashi had hatched a plan to kill the demon and silently reassured her that they would succeed, to which they managed to execute the plan without issue.

Back in the present, after Adramelech has killed Nikkari and Manabu, Asahi watches in disbelief as Nanashi is severely injured and finds herself falling back into feeling helplessness. She tries to summon a demon to protect herself, using Nikkari's abandoned phone, but is unable to access the Demon Summoning Program. Without any options left, she cries out for Nanashi, only to be met with his return.

End of spoilers.

Last Chronicle

Asahi is one of the characters featured in the crossover with the Japanese trading card game Last Chronicle. Her card, featuring an illustration drawn by Ikumi Fukuda, was released in the Deicide Contract Deck[4], which also featured illustrations of Isabeau, Navarre, and Flynn.

Trivia

  • The Shin Megami Tensei IV Final Official Complete Guide claims that Asahi was an orphan adopted by Boss, rather than his biological daughter.[5] However, in-game text and commentary from the development team does not corroborate this idea, making its canonicity dubious.

Nomenclature

Asahi (朝日) is a Japanese word and given name meaning "morning sun." Asahi's name is taken from the discontinued Jōetsu Shinkansen train service Asahi.[6]
