Fanfic / The Kanyeverse

Go To

The Kanyeverse is an alternate universe of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne that was devised in streams of Nocturne by RasenReviews, the man behind the Cathedral of Shadows podcast. The Kanyeverse revolves around the adventures of Kanye "Obama" West in his post-Conception quest, with increasingly bizarre lore built up around it.


Tropes found in The Kanyeverse:

  • Cloud Cuckoolander: Pretty much the entire chat.
  • Crossover: The events of Rasen's Persona 3 Portable Let's Play, Shovel Knight and Dark Souls are canon to the Kanyeverse.
  • Dem Bones:
    • The infamous Matador is known to terrorize Rasen's various accounts and bombards the chat with skeleton puns.
    • Matador is then replaced by Trumpeter following the former's fusion.
  • Dump Stat: The chat constantly encourages Rasen to invest in the luck stat instead of something that will be more useful in the long run.
  • Epic Fail: The chat is quick to point out Rasen's mistakes.
  • Everyone Has Standards: The chat may be fucked up, but even they're ashamed of smtg.
  • Extreme Omnivore: Reportedly. Rasen's taste in food is so bad that he could probably eat anything.
  • Gag Penis: Mara is the diety of the universe rather than YHWH.
  • Hated by All: Everybody started calling Rasen casual scum the moment he started cheating.
  • Hypocrite: Rasen points out that the people wishing to reject The Rock were perfectly willing to side with Gozu-Tennou, who had the same beliefs.
  • Incredibly Lame Pun:
    • Cat puns pop up at one point.
    • And skeleton puns.
  • Lethal Joke Character: While Mothman is below average-average, the Mothman that Kanye fuses is a force to be reckoned with.
  • The Medic: Daisoujou is supposed to be this, but Rasen's too much of a casual to level him up for White Rider.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Played with. Many of the characters are named after real life people.
  • No-Respect Guy: Even when Rasen succeeds at something, he will still be called a casual. In fact, instead of a page of victories, there's only a page for times he "didn't screw up" on the wiki.
  • Not So Above It All: Who would listen to Libera Me From Hell while fighting Pale Rider? Rasen.
  • Our Presidents Are Different: Obama is both Kanye West and a Demi-fiend; he aims to obtain the True Democrat Ending to gain full demonhood.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: One of the theories as to how the Conception came to be is that Sonic initiated it out of revenge because Kanye was sleeping with Amy.
  • Rule 34: Matador is currently making a doujin of Mel/Katsu. Mel is not pleased.
    • The "Rise thing", which nobody wants to talk about.
  • Split Personality: Dark Syde Rasen, who is every bit as incompetent as the guy it's based on. At one point, he cheats via using a fusion tool.
  • Stylistic Suck: Rasen's battle plan, though it can be inferred that his art skills are legitimately bad.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Rasen pulls this on Matador, fusing him into Mothman.
