History Awesome / ShinMegamiTenseiII

* Aleph is widely considered to be one of the strongest ''Shin Megami Tensei'' protagonists for very good reason. For example: the Archangels in the previous game were all in the final dungeon, and Michael in particular was a potential FinalBoss and the single highest level in the game. Later, in ''IV'', they're late game Bonus Bosses. Here? One is TheUnfought, and the other three are mid-game bosses. Then there are the last three major bosses. Lucifer is generally the FinalBoss, TrueFinalBoss, or BonusBoss. Here, he's a TrickBoss to YHVH. His Law counterpart, Satan, is particularly infamous for [[VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga being one of the two toughest Bonus Bosses in JRPG history]], but still ends up second to YHVH. And YHVH Himself? Excluding the second Famicom game, He never shows up to fight in one of His purest forms in any other game. [[note]] Except in ''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse IV Apocalypse]]'' [[/note]] Here, however, Aleph goes to Him and defeats him. The only downside to Aleph is the implications that [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne YHVH came back and got his revenge]], but in terms of achievements, Aleph has few rivals in the franchise.

* Earlier, you go to confront the Elders of the Center. You end up fighting Uriel and Raphael at the same time, then Michael, and then finally ''YHVH Himself''. Granted, [[spoiler:that YHVH was a fake, but it's stated that He still had a ton of power, anyway.]]

** If you think about the plot of ''SMT II'' in a symbolic way parallel to Literature/TheBible, the Law ending is this. YHVH represents the laws of the Old Testament, and by defeating him, you usher in a new age of law, as in the New Testament, bringing salvation to humanity (well, what remains of it anyway). In other words, Aleph is basically Jesus with a personal troop of [[OlympusMons legendary demons at his side]].
