History NightmareFuel / ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse

* Though Stephen has humanity's interests as his end goal, this game shows that he's willing to [[TheUnfettered do whatever it takes to get rid of YHVH.]] He creates a "Goddess of Tokyo" to manipulate you onto the right path and will try to keep the Messiahs alive so they can get rid of any faction that threatens humanity. It's implied several times in this game that he's able to make Nanashi remember his past life (in one case, doing so deliberately to prevent Flynn's abduction at the hands of the Divine Powers), [[BackstoryInvader rewrite everyone's memories into thinking he was Dr. Matsuda]] to help them create the Shesha Radar and [[RetGone erasing all memory of him afterward.]] He also helps the player to reach YHVH on both routes with him deliberately telling Skins and Fujiwara the truth on the Massacre route and sending them and humanity off to die at your hands. Dagda even calls him out on being so nonchalant about their fate and yet Stephen warns them that the fate that befalls YHVH shall be yours eventually. In his DLC boss fight, it takes your party and a team of the previous game's protagonists to defeat him and even ''they'' struggle against Stephen's sheer might. The truly insane part about all this is that he could utterly annihilate you and cut off your cycle of reincarnation for good measure were you to step out of line, as well as [[AlwaysABiggerFish personally do the same to YHVH himself if he so chose]]. To put the magnitude of power we are talking about into perspective, it takes the combined power of ''five'' Messiahs to '''amuse him'''. [[CruelMercy Alas, he decides to let you choose your own path.]]

* One of the lesser, otherwise humorous facts about this game is seeing the description of the relics you collect when appraising them on the shops. Back at [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV the previous game]], we had Flynn trying his best to comprehend utensils and mundane objects from his medieval-era perspective. Now, we get to see these from the eyes of a 15-year-old Hunter, with a modern view of these. Except, he was born five years after the sealing of Tokyo and was born amidst all the reigning chaos present, so he interprets makeup cases as bullet packers, kitchen racks as gun shelves, glass cups as spy tools... Everything from the insight of a [[ChildSoldiers juvenile hunter]], living day by day hunting demons for survival or even for ''meat sources''.
** Speaking of which, take a look at the phone's Database after being officially promoted to a Hunter. This game finally gives an explanation about why one of the demon races is ''Food''. FridgeHorror spoiled it since the first game, but the weight of that one tidbit feels heavier when you see whose demons are in this category, like the already-underdogged [[http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Hare_of_Inaba Hare of Inaba]] or [[http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Onmoraki Onmorakis]] in general.

* The moment when the Flynn you spent the game with is revealed to really be Shesha in disguise, he ends up flashing an absolutely hideous NightmareFace, a super-realistic design of Flynn's face with a sickly green skin and blood-red colored eyes and lips. '''''[[http://i.imgur.com/dlbZYeq.jpg Bear witness. ]]''''' UncannyValley doesn't even begin to describe it: like our beloved Champion of Tokyo had a horrific Fusion Accident with ComicBook/TheJoker and a snake. He then proceeds to '''gruesomely devour Asahi''' after she jumps in to protect Nanashi, leaving nothing but pools of blood and ripped flesh and her goggles, meaning '''the same thing would have happened to him.''' The worst part is that this is literally the ONLY part in the game that uses this super-realistic art style. It's just so sudden and alien to the entire art style of the game, it looks like this... '''thing''' was not even supposed to be there in the first place. Shesha only adds insult to injury by leaving without a care while saying how scrumptious Asahi was.

* Cleopatra's DLC story is horrifying. You go to an inverted pyramid to investigate the disappearance of many women, and what does Nanashi find? ''A LOT of mummified corpses with roses blooming out of them, with certain parts of their bodies chopped off.'' '''''[[MoralEventHorizon About 1464 of them.]]''''' All of this in an effort to resurrect Cleopatra herself with the perfect body. You also find Asahi and manage to save her, but imagine what would have happened had Nanashi been too late to arrive...
* "Explosive Epidemic in Mikado" has the player fight through several of Mikado's citizens who have been transformed into demons. Remember what happened to Issachar in the previous game? The same is happening to ''everyone of Mikado''. Even Hugo and Hope get special portraits for the occasion. Reading through the related lore has one realize that the angels were behind the Demonic Gene, which is responsible for the demonic transformations and ingrained in the "new humanity" that populates Mikado. One of the triggers of this transformation: '''''Cultural development'''''. Not only do the Angels directly keep the masses ignorant and subservient, but they've practically instilled a kill-switch in their ideal version of humanity as a form of insurance for if they were ever to stray from their subservient role.

'''Dagda:''' Heh, your friend's perception is spot on. [[FromBadToWorse ''Show's about to start, kid.'']]

* [[BrutalBonusLevel Twisted Tokyo]], on the surface, is a [[EldritchLocation Domain]] UpToEleven, featuring even more disgusting-looking tentacles and ''[[NothingButSkulls skulls]]'' that make up the walls. The background behind this makes matters worse: It's actually yet another AlternateTimeline of Tokyo where the Messiahs never came and the city was eventually taken over entirely by demons. Apparently, the takeover was so thorough that the locations you explore bear familiar names but look nothing like the places they're named after; one way to interpret this is that ''the entire metropolis'' was turned into one big Domain. At least Blasted Tokyo from ''IV'' has humans and some infrastructure surviving ''at all''.

* After his death and subsequent resurrection on Massacre, Flynn CameBackWrong. He loses [[EmptyShell all trace of personality]] and all of his heroic spirit, and even turns against the people he promised to protect. The only thing that matters to him is serving Nanashi, whom he reveres as a god. Seeing someone who took the fate of humanity into his own hands and declared war on Law and Chaos suddenly becoming subservient is... creepy. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he starts speaking in a]] CreepyMonotone. OOCIsSeriousBusiness indeed. And remember, [[YouBastard it was your decision to side with Dagda that made him come back this way]].

* As Quetzalcoatl murders everyone at the Hunters' Association -- normally [[TraumaInn a place of refuge where you can heal up and chat with your fellow Hunters]] -- and claims their souls for the Divine Powers, he brilliantly corrupts one of the best-known memes from [[VideoGame/DarkSouls another video game series]].

** The first fight with Odin. You're maybe expecting a difficult but still doable battle, but then he casts Will of Thunder: "Elec attacks will [[ArmorPiercingAttack pierce]] until end of turn!" Well, okay, that sounds bad, but surely this can be survived, right? Zionga didn't do ''that'' much damage...and then on his next turn, he casts Will of Thunder ''again'', followed by Concentrate so [[ThisIsGonnaSuck you know the next hit is going to do an assload of damage and not even Repel Elec is going to save you]], and finally, he casts '''[[SignatureMove Thunder Reign]]''', killing off all of your demons with about 1000 HP of damage each, ending the battle, and leaving you at the mercy of a group of omnicidal polytheistic gods.

* The moment when the Flynn you spent the game with is revealed to really be Shesha in disguise, he ends up flashing an absolutely hideous NightmareFace, a super-realistic design of Flynn's face with a sickly green skin and blood-red colored eyes and lips.

* Hallelujah's true form: a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-demon hybrid]]. While certainly not as horrifying as the Shesha-disguised-as-Flynn example immediately above -- for starters, he is still firmly on your side with the only change to their personality being [[TookALevelInBadass a few levels in badass]] -- he looks...unwell, to say the least. His skin turns completely white, his eyes are entirely blood-red, and he has a mass of cracks in the skin around his eyes. No wonder he was so reluctant to show his true power.

* Shesha, the massive dragon (both literal and [[TheDragon otherwise]]) of the Divine Powers. It looks like it's made of lava and it turns entire districts into ground-zero zones splattered with blood where the dreary aboveground music plays instead of the more mellow underground music in order to [[ToServeMan consume humans]] and grow more powerful, leaving [[TheDreaded everyone around the area who isn't dead yet freaking out for their lives]]. It makes its introduction by ''punching a huge hole in the Firmament''. When you fight it, to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVJcMzAXTW4 creepy distinct BGM]] to boot, you don't see a sprite of it; you see its ''overworld model'' moving about as it attacks you. Its second form, pictured above, has [[ExtraEyes way more eyes than is comfortable to look at]], and can ''speak''. Defeating this form doesn't even faze it much; it just taunts that it will come back even stronger and more powerful. Which it does.

-> '''Asahi:''' "Wow, everyone's really worked up. It's actually kind of scary..." \\
'''Dagda:''' "Heh, your friend's perception is spot on. ''Show's about to start, kid.''"

* Nanashi coming back to life but return becoming Dagda's [[PeoplePuppet human puppet]]. If he tries to do something that Dagda sees as counter to his plans or just plain dislikes, Dagda will just ''[[ButThouMust hijack Nanashi's body to make him do otherwise]]'' and Nanashi can do naught to stop it. The Divine Powers end up being released this way, if you try to say no to unsealing their ark. What if Dagda, for example, needs Nanashi to kill his friends or other innocent people off as part of his plans or simply ForTheEvulz, something that wouldn't be beyond him given how he rambles about how stupid friendship is? Yes, he tries to make Nanashi do just that to his friends in the Cosmic Egg. If you refuse to do it, Dagda will ''try to suck the life out of you'' in a SeeminglyHopelessBossFight, and since your demon summoning powers come from him, you also have trouble trying to command your demons! Had Danu not been there to save you with a Dagda clone, you would've died, and [[KilledOffForReal for real]] at that!]

* In order to face [=YHVH=] and have a chance, a major portion of the fight involves denouncing any claim [=YHVH=] has to divinity, pointing out he is no greater than any other demon in the world. In the end, he is himself subjected to the same practices that caused pagan deities to be canonized as demons. It causes him to become... ''something'', vaguely akin to the gnostic deity Yaldabaoth; A seven-headed, maned serpent who even in his twisted state, continues demanding praise.

* Early in the game, Nanashi has a dream of his past life as Akira right before God's Plan leads to the ICBM strike on Tokyo. In the dream, we see Flynn's previous incarnation unsheathing Masakado's Katana, in order to summon said deity and create the Firmament / Ceiling, protecting all of Tokyo against the ICBM Strike. Except Masakado's summoning is not that pleasant to watch or perform... He commits harakiri, pulling the blade through his own neck! Masakado, summoned as a floating head, then ''gorily'' merges with Flynn's descendant's body, guttural sounds and everything, in order to complete his transformation. It's kinda hard to think that Masakado is firmly [[{{Pun}} cemented]] as a ''good guy'' after witnessing this!

* One of the lesser, otherwise humorous facts about this game is seeing the description of the relics you collect when appraisng them on the shops. Back at [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV the previous game]], we had Flynn trying his best to comprehend utensils and mundane objects from his medieval-era perspective. Now, we get to see these from the eyes of a 15-year-old Hunter, with a modern view of these.

Everything from the insight of a [[ChildSoldiers juvenile hunter]], living day by day hunting demons for survival or even for ''meat sources''.

** The FantasticRacism exhibited by the Angels -- "Land of the Unclean Ones", [[FantasticSlur "Filth"]], etc. -- is back in full force, and this time, as a Hunter from Tokyo, ''you'' get to experience it firsthand as Aniel shows up to summarily execute you and Asahi for attempting to tresspass on the angels' territory, all while shouting "Unclean!" with each attack. [[HopelessBossFight And because he's far higher-leveled than you, he nearly completes the job]], bringing Asahi, who had ''already had her life and yours threatened not too long ago'', to her knees as she realizes the hopelessness of her situation. Sure, [[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist you would've survived anyway]] thanks to Dagda, but Asahi wouldn't have had it not been for [[BigDamnHeroes Flynn and Isabeau]].

* "Explosive Epidemic in Mikado" has the player fight through several of Mikado's citizens who have been transformed into demons. Remember what happened to Issachar in the previous game? The same is happening to ''everyone of Mikado''. Even Hugo and Hope get special portraits for the occasion. Reading through the related lore has one realize that the angels were behind the Demonic Gene, which is ingrained in everyone in Mikado and responsible for the demonic transformations. One of the triggers of this transformation: Cultural development. Not only do the angels directly keep the masses ignorant and subservient, but anyone who experiences any element from a society more advanced than a feudal one (like reading modern literature, for instance) becomes demonized.

* The first dungeon exclusive to the two neutral routes, the Cosmic Egg, is a massive WombLevel with red, fleshy walls and "doors" that make sickening fleshy sounds when you travel through them, as if taking a page from the [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne Labyrinth of Amala]]. There's also a few spots where an appendage will swallow you up and spit you back out elsewhere [[JumpScare with no prior warning]]. To destroy the Cosmic Egg, you reach the center of it and destroy its physical heart. The process of destruction of which is thankfully [[GoryDiscretionShot not shown]], but still, watching it beat...''ugh.''

** And the bosses of Twisted Tokyo is the Fiend squad. Yes, those are the skeletons that stomp on new players on their first ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' playthrough. If this is not enough to instill fear, they are even stronger than the majority of bosses in the game and if you have a particular expansion DLC, they can go over the level of ''all'' main story bosses. When you encounter them, unlike most bosses which at least looked like they wanted to fight you, they just make a deep sigh. '''They are probably so strong that they don't even take you as anything other than an ant to be crushed under their feet.'''

** And when this is not terrifying enough, if you meet the requirements to fuse them, all of your past enemies including the big three: Merkabah, Lucifer and Krishna are on your side, ready to wipe out anyone who opposes you.
