Trivia

  • There is unused data in Shin Megami Tensei for a non-boss version of Asura.
  • In the internal data of Shin Megami Tensei, Michael and Asura's alignments appear to be swapped; Michael has an alignment of 240 (Chaos) and Asura has an alignment of 10 (Law). However, the correct alignments are displayed in A-Mode DDS of the GBA version.
  • Michael and Asura's stats and skills are swapped in the Shin Megami Tensei Mega-CD analyze menu;[1] they use their normal stats and skills in gameplay. This may have been done because of the alignments.
