Satan: The Apocalypse of Zayin || SMTheology



Among the fanbase, the Law alignment is often viewed as subjugation to God. However, in multiple games across the series God is either rebelled against or simply not present at all. Furthermore, in a series like Shin Megami Tensei that centers around dissecting the meaning behind cultural symbols, what does serving God even mean? To better understand this, we’ll be discussing the character Zayin from Shin Megami Tensei II, the judge of man, demon, and God alike.

  1. Are you sure about this? I heard from youtuber kid capes that satan isn't based on anything dharmic, because looking exactly like it, and openly having the third eye isn't enough evidence.

  2. Based Video! Zayin/Satan is one of my favorite SMT character, your video showed and explained everything i like about him in ways i don't think i could do it, Very good video

  3. So wait, Satan is Capitalism according to the game itself, but you're randomly asserting that they're socialists?

  4. I don't know if I just haven't found them yet, but so far you're the ONLY guy on YT who actually digs deeper into these games themes, characters, and inspirations. Most just look at gameplay and surface level story. You're definitely the best SMT channel so far 🙏
