Profile

Shin Megami Tensei

After Thor barrages Japan with ICBMs, the heroine sends the protagonist to the Kongokai where he meets En-no-Ozuno. He asks you to fetch him some Soma twice, and then has you fight the Law Phantasm and the Chaos Phantasm (they don't fight you if your alignments match either of theirs) to gain alignment-exclusive weapons (the Kodachi of Light for Law and the Chainsaw Axe for Chaos). After words, he sends you back to Tokyo 30 years later, but not before fighting his servants, Zenki and Goki.
