Keeping note of these so I can keep it consistent between pages. Heading names and "GameFAQs names" come from [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/saturn/574642-shin-megami-tensei-devil-summoner/faqs/70850 Peace-Diner's GameFAQs guide] (Peace-Diner also did the let's play that most people use for the in-game script). The GameFAQs names are often taken from the in-game battle names, but not all; they are original translations if they can't be used in battle. I've decided to use the names from the GameFAQs guide if they are original translations and not from the battle menu, unless I don't like the GameFAQs name. | Keeping note of these so I can keep it consistent between pages.

"practice" + "qi," which I think is a close enough concept to "spirit" that it works. ''Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon'' has a similarly named item localized as "Renki," but it uses 刀 instead of 剣. | ||
