Design

Starting in Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2, the Star of David is no longer on the the gem on his chest. His face in Dx2 also has new linework (also seen in Kaneko Works VI), which was turned into full protrusions in the Persona 5: The Phantom X design.

Trivia

  • Although his English compendium entry in the Nintendo 3DS version of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers claims that Melchizedek is a power, this is a mistranslation of the Japanese term 力天使 rikitenshi ("virtue"; literally "strength angel").[1]
