Game Appearances

Shin Megami Tensei if...

Hazama first appears to the Protagonist after they obtain the Demon Summoning Program through a vision, taunting them for trying to escape the prediciment he has placed them in.

These visions of Hazama occur throughout the game, typically at the beginning of dungeons. Exceptions to this are his first appearance to the Protagonist in Karukozaka High, and in the Hazama's Psyche dungeon, where five visions can be viewed. In most of these visions, barring those in Hazama's Psyche, he appears through a statue, and tells the player about what he has done in the dungeon, and why he did it. In the visions shown in Hazama's Psyche, the player is shown key moments in Hazama's life that pivoted him towards his evil.

Hazama serves as the final boss of the game, but where he is fought to end the game varies based on which partner the player chose in the start of the game. If the player picked Yumi or Shinji, he is fought in Karukozaka High, and the game ends there. However, if the player picked Reiko, the player gains access to the Hazama's Psyche dungeon after defeating Hazama at Karukozaka High, where he can be truly defeated. On Akira's route, Hazama is fought at Karukozaka High after warping the player and Akira from the Nomos of Heaven dungeon.

Trivia

• As the Demon Emperor, Hazama uses ware/我 to refer to himself. In a flashback when he was a normal human, he uses boku/ぼく to refer to himself. When he breaks down after being beaten in Reiko's route, he starts out using ware/我, then he uses watashi/私, and then he goes back to using boku/ぼく to refer to himself like he orginally did as a normal person.

• In the PS1 version, he uses boku/僕 in kanji as a teenager and boku/ぼく in hiragana as a little kid. So when he breaks down in the PS1 version, he starts out using ware/我, then he uses watashi/私, then boku/僕 in kanji, and then boku/ぼく in hiragana. And after Reiko helps him, he goes back to his teenager form and uses boku/僕 in kanji again.

• Hazama's name in the text box also changes in the story. He's called "Demon Emperor" in the text boxes most the time, but in his flashbacks, he's called "Ideo" in the text boxes, and after Reiko helps him in her route, his name goes back to "Ideo" in the text boxes.
