Power



Power (パワー, Pawaa) is a demon in the series.

History
The sixth of the nine orders of angels, also said to be called Authorities. It is said that they were the first order to be created. The Powers are the bearers of conscience and the keepers of history. They are academically driven and are concerned with ideology, philosophy, theology, religion, and documents pertaining to those studies. Powers are the brain trusts; a group of experts who serve as advisers and policy planners. They are also the warrior angels created to be completely loyal to God. Some believe that no Power has ever fallen from grace, but another theory states that Satan was the Chief of the Powers before he Fell (see also Ephesians 6:12). Their duty is to oversee the distribution of power among humankind, hence their name.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Like Dominions and other angels, Powers support Yosuga. They appear as enemies in the ruins of Mifunashiro. A Dominion and a Power together can be found conversing there, and will ask the player whether they are also disgusted by the Manekata's desires for a world in which all are equal (answering in the affirmative will give considerable Yosuga points). Later, a Power which has been defeated by Noah is found in the Tower of Kagutsuchi. In battle, the Red Rider will summon Powers (up to two) whenever possible.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
Power appears as a boss in the Celu Tower Inspection instance as well as an enemy in Suginami Tunnels' gold instance. In Celu Tower, it takes the form of a robed old man who lives with his master inside the tower.

Power's shield can be acquired through a drop from the Powers that spawn with Raphael's field boss or in the Catacombs in Shinagawa. This item is called Gospel and grants a player the power to use specific expel affinity attacks when equipped.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
In Strange Journey, Mastema presents a Power for Zelenin to control upon learning of her fear of demons in Sector Carina. She is still reluctant to use it in combat, however, and it failed to protect her from Asura's attempts to bend her to his will and Zelenin ceased to openly summon him afterwards, primarily relying in Strike Team members to protect her.

DemiKids: Light & Dark
Power can perform the dark combo attack Dragon Blow with Arch Rox and Dred Rox.

Trivia

 * In Shin Megami Tensei, the art for a Power is simply a recolored Dominion.
