Nuwa is first encountered in the Tokyo Diet Building, having routed the forces of Bethel within the building. Assuming the Nahobino is reinforcements for Bethel, she transforms into her demon form and attacks him. Midway though their battle her partner Shohei Yakumo interrupts with intention to kill the Nahobino, only for Nuwa to dissuade him out of respect for the young mans resolve, to which Yakumo begrudgingly relents. With the hostilities ended, the Nahobino takes the opportunity to learn more about the pair, being answered that they oppose the angels of Bethel and the demons of Chaos equally, the former for oppression and the latter self serving opportunism.[1]

- ↑ "Nuwa: The God of Law has warred with the other gods since time immemorial. However, the God of Law gained the upper hand when He robbed the other demons of their Knowledge, debasing them to their current states. Both God and his cronies in Bethel have absolute faith in the rule of law, and His armies continue to meddle in this realm to protect His order. Such Zealotry cannot be permitted. Ergo, these angels were dealt with accordingly. Which is not to say those that rebel against the God of Law are any better, of course. Opportunistic cretins, for the most part, seeking chaos to fulfill their own selfish desires." Shin Megami Tensei V. Developed by ATLUS.
