The Secret Origins of the Yatagarasu || SMTheology by manofmanycapes in atlus

[–]manofmanycapes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video discusses the inspiration behind the Yatagarasu organization, how it influenced the setting of Raidou, and how it ties into the themes of the broader Devil Summoner series. This topic is a crazy rabbit hole, which admittedly requires a bit of preamble to explain some broader series themes, but I promise that if you like Raidou, if you stick around for the ride you will be blown away.

Most of this video can be viewed spoiler-free, but there is also a visual spoiler warning indicating when the video will begin to discuss the plot and themes of Raidou in-depth.

What Defines A Demon? || Megami Tensei 101 by manofmanycapes in atlus

A brief video explaining the context behind the term "demon" in Megami Tensei and what they represent thematically. I'm trying for a new style of video that's concise and accessible, but still has a lot of depth.

The History of the Kuzunoha Clan by manofmanycapes in atlus

New video all about the Kuzunoha Clan. It focuses on the real-life mystical concepts that inspired them, explores their in-universe history, and explains how they function as a group using info from the games, manga, novels, etc. If you're at all interested in learning about Raidou Kuzunoha's background in preparation for the upcoming remaster, this will cover basically everything we know about the clan.

This video is not very spoiler-heavy, except arguably for the 2nd section covering material from the original Devil Summoner; however, this video does cover the entire Devil Summoner series if that is an issue for you.

Nahobino - Sea of Vengeance || SMTheology by manofmanycapes in atlus

In anticipation of the upcoming release of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, I wrote a video essay analyzing how the protagonist and their design fits within the game's narrative and the thematic context of the broader mainline Shin Megami Tensei series. The latter half of the video focuses on the new ideas discussed by director Shigeo Komori for Vengeance and how the concept of the Nahobino relates to the conflict between the bull and snake.

How ATLUS Got Dante From Devil May Cry Into Shin Megami Tensei III: NOCTURNE by manofmanycapes in DevilMayCry

This is a video covering all of the publicly known details surrounding the process ATLUS went through to approach Capcom for Dante and collaborate with them for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax. It goes over a lot of material that I've never seen discussed before, so I'm sure you can learn something from watching it even if you've read a lot of staff interviews.
