Trivia

  • The localization of the Quest Messiahs in the Diamond Realm in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Stephen has multiple lines of dialog mentioning the Axiom, which may be misnomers referring to reason ( kotowari), i.e. logic or the natural order of the universe, as opposed to the Axiom (大いなる理 ōinaru kotowari), which literally translates to Great Reason.
    • When Stephen says that he may have to bend the will of the Axiom to aid Nanashi.[1]
    • When Stephen says that Humanity has the potential to surpass the Axiom.[2]
  • The Japanese spelling of the Great Reason uses the same kanji as the word for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne's Reasons[a].
