History WMG / ShinMegamiTenseiV

There will likely be a few new superbosses added to Vengaence designed to challenge the player. Unlike the base game, they're not required to unlock the final boss, and if defeated, will cause the final boss to gain immense stat boosts. Here's a list of possible superbosses:

* Another possible theory that is based on the [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS sign on it's chest]] which resembles a stylized Y. The closest similarity to this might be the Hebrew letter Tsade which connects to Tzadik, Righteousness. The angel of righteousness is Melchizedek.

* '''Creator Nanashi''': Dagda will be a DLC demon in this version, and Danu is in the base version of the game. If possible, those two aren't the same ones from ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse'' but completing their respective quests could unlock a BonusDungeon based off Nanashi's new world in the Massacre Ending. During this battle Creator Nanashi[[note]]His skills are Authoritative Stance, Darkness of God, Divine Harmony, Hailstorm of God, Illumination of God, Inferno of God, Infinite Power, Lightning of God, Tornado of God, and Supernova.[[/note]] starts the fight accompanied by Godslayer Flynn [[note]]His skills are Holy Stigmata, Godslayer Slash, Star Tarantella, Myriad Arrows, and Megidoloan.[[/note]] and True Goddess Asahi[[note]]Her skills are Luster Candy, Unending Curse, Lamentation, Samarecarm, Mediarama, Tetrakarn and Makarakarn[[/note]] . After Flynn and Asahi are slain, Creator Nanashi will summon his demons: Lucifer[[note]]Uses Evil Shine, Glacial Blast, Hades Blast, Glacial Blast and Mamudoon.[[/note]], Merkabah [[note]]Uses Chariot, Deadly Wind, Riot Gun, Thunder Reign and Mahamaon.[[/note]] and Krishna [[note]]Uses Combat Tara, Deadly Wind, Dream Raga, Salvation, Venomous Raga, and Ziodyne.[[/note]]. Once they're defeated, Creator Nanashi will resurrect Flynn and Krishna to fuse them into Vishnu-Flynn [[note]]Uses Antichthon, Dark Nandaka, Dekaja, Dekunda, Godslayer Slash, Light Nandaka, Salvation, Shine More.[[/note]] before resurrecting Lucifer and Merkabah and fusing them into Satan [[note]]Uses Akasha Arts, Fear Darkness, Luster Candy, Megiddo Ark, Raging Blizzard, Raging Tempest, Dazzle Ray, Trisagion, and Thunder Reign. [[/note]]. Once they're down, the fight shifts to the final phase where Creator Nanashi fights alone.

** Mictlancehtual, Aztec goddess of death and consort of Mictlantecutli

* Given the fact that the demons are known as the Qadištu—an Akkadian term referring to sacred prostitution—and the fact that they are aligned with Lilith, they could be the mates of Samael, of which Lilith is one. Therefore, their names might be:
** Namaah
** Agrat bat Mahlat
** Eisheth

* So far, there [[https://www.gematsu.com/2024/02/shin-megami-tensei-v-vengeance-rated-in-korea has been a rumor of a complete version]] called Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, though do take it with a grain of salt.

* The Demi-Fiend did appear... In VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga... and in this game as a [=DLC=] BonusBoss.

[[WMG: VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} will appear as a [[GuestFighter guest character]] or a BonusBoss]]

From the looks of things, the mainline SMT games follows a repeating pattern of similar plots depending on number. The odd numbered games (I, III: Nocturne, and this one) take place fairly recently AfterTheEnd with the ultimate goal being to recreate the world in some way, with Nocturne taking the cake of you waking up and exploring after what was implied to be just ''hours'' after it happened, while SMTI allow you to actually have some actual gameplay in before thrusting you 30 years after Tokyo is nuked, and V [[spoiler:has you born and raised in a copy of Tokyo that continued to move forward about 18 years after the original becomes Da'at]].

Meanwhile, the even numbered titles (II and IV) both have settings that take place at least a thousand years AfterTheEnd in societies that have a strict caste based structure and heavily Law aligned, though the circumstance are different: II is the only direct sequel where after the Neutral ending of I something went ''very'' wrong and we got a futuristic science fiction setting built on the worst aspects of Medieval caste systems; while IV went full Medieval Europe with the only aspects of technology past at least the Renaissance are the gauntlets, the Demon Summoning Program, and any artifacts found from before the Apocalypse [[spoiler: while the actual Modern Tokyo is stuck in an underground [[YearOutsideHourInside time bubble where only 25 years past compared to the implied several millennia on the surface]] ]].

Following this, the sixth game in the mainline series would follow the similar plot beat of the other even numbered games and be set in a society that comes thousands of a years after an initial apocalypse. However, the plot beats of said society being heavily caste structured or even Law aligned can be subject to change as long as the timeframe is kept, considering how vastly different the premises of the odd numbered games turned out (SMTI is merely metaphorical in resorting the world while in III and V it's ''literal'', and even with III you're an outside aberration to the system while V you're a legit contender).

** Jossed. [[spoiler: Tao dies along with Sahori only to come back at the end of the game as a goddess, joining the protagonist's party. Miyazu sort of fades from relevancy as the game goes on (only really starring in a sidequest, and the real event that splits the rest of group is Bethel's branches declaring independence from Abdiel and aiming to recreate the world as Nahobino themselves. Ichiro sides with Abdiel, and Yuzuru sides with Koshimizu AKA Tsukuyomi.]]
