Hallelujah's father is referred to as Samyaza in SMT 4 A, though in Soul Hackers, Shemyaza is indeed his name.


* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite the story making it clear that Asahi fears that she's useless and that Gaston even tells her as such to her face, in gameplay, she's one of the most useful party members in the game due to her healing skills keeping you afloat during longer fights. Her healing skills are useful enough that [[CharacterSelectForcing the game has to force her out of your party twice]][[note]]After the Quetzalcoatl fight and again after [[spoiler: she's killed by Shesha-Flynn]].[[/note]] for plot reasons to prevent you from cheesing the Tokugawa Mandala quest and the [[spoiler:Cosmic Egg]].

* CrutchCharacter: As the first partner of the game, she's genuinely invaluable at a time when healing is scarce. But later on other characters can heal almost as well if not better and also do damage, not to mention the fact that players have access to more healing items and techniques, she quickly becomes a lot less useful, her only use being to grant free Smirks. She regains some use eventually after her Awakening, but she spends the vast majority of the game as a bottom-tier partner.

* SupportPartyMember: Only learns healing spells, plus a support buff as her very last skill.

* AllThereInTheManual: The [[https://verdantgrove.dreamwidth.org/19142.html artbook]] gives some extra information. His mother's name was Ayako and she was [[SingleMomStripper a prostitute]], he befriended Chiro when he was around ten, [[spoiler:he first awakened to his powers when he was four or five in defense of his mother, but he didn't know he was half-demon until he was ten]]. Hallelujah is also uncertain whether his mother died or abandoned him; the artbook implies that she was murdered.

* SymbolicWeaponDiscarding: After being disgraced by his leader, Gaston's disdain for Merkabah and Mikado comes to a head in the Merkabah-Lucifer conflict. As an act of defiance, he snaps the Spear of Michael that he once prized, and declares that he would fight for the people rather than for any divine will.

It's Japanese script that Flynn calls "mystic script", not Roman


** More humorously, Flynn regards the English as the 'Mystic Script', and comes to some odd conclusions about Tokyo's Relics. Nanashi knows English and what all the Relics actually are, even if living in the demonic Tokyo colors his perspective of everyday objects.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter:
** Flynn is hailed as a Messiah, who everyone respects, with his closest allies constantly asking for his opinions, and is hailed as a great hero. Nanashi on the other hand is just some nobody at the game's start, constantly told (mostly by Dagda) that he's a puppet, who only exists for the purposes of others. Flynn hails from the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, while Nanashi was born in the demon-infested Tokyo.

** When Dagda goes on a spiel to Nanashi about how friendship is bad after the party [[HopelessBossFight lose to Odin]] during his first fight, Krishna points that despite Nanashi being nothing more that Dagda's doll, Dagda himself seems awfully fond of Nanashi to the point of speaking to and for him. [[LameComeback Dagda can only tell Krisnha to be quiet]] in response to having his hypocrisy exposed.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Shares "Inbetween" with Flynn. Justified somewhat in that he hasn't decided what kind of person he wants to be yet.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: He is the "Nice" one of the messiahs. He is very considerate of others and is the only one to check in on the Hero right before the final battle with Stephen. Fitting as he is representing Law.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: He is the "Mean", being rather curt and aggressive with those around him. He even taunts Stephen before the battle with him, everyone else taking the fight more seriously. Fitting as he represents the Chaos alignment.
