"So you are here...Child of demons, artificial "Savior" created in defiance of God's holy laws! Your mere existence is a twisted distortion, blasphemous in the face of all the life that God has created! As supreme lord of the bestowing of life, I, Shaddai, cannot allow your existence to continue!"
—Pre-battle quote

Shaddai is a demon in the series.

History[]

El Shaddai, or just Shaddai, is a name of God in Judaism. El Shaddai is conventionally translated into English as God Almighty (Deus Omnipotens in Latin), but its original meaning is unclear. The name Shaddai appears 48 times in the Bible, seven times as "El Shaddai" (five times in Genesis, once in Exodus, and once in Ezekiel).

The name "Shaddai" often appears on the devices such as amulets or dedicatory plaques. More importantly, however, it is associated with the traditional Jewish customs which could be understood as apotropaic: male circumcision, mezuzah and tefillin. The connections of the first one with the name Shaddai are twofold.

While the translation of El as "god" in Ugarit/Canaanite language is straightforward, the literal meaning of Shaddai is the subject of debate. Some say it means "destroyer" or "to overpower." El Shaddai can convey several different semantic relations between the two words.

Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 The Almighty Observer
"One of the names of God that appears in the Old Testament. While its original meaning is unclear, it is most commonly translated into English as God Almighty. In the Book of Genesis, Abraham, father of the Israelites, is said to have sworn himself to Shaddai in exchange for his descendants being given the land of Canaan. Based on the Kabbalah school of thought from Jewish mysticism, this name can also be interpreted as referring to Yesode, one of the ten sephirah."

An event titled The Almighty Observer was held in the game to coincide with Shaddai being added to the game.[1][2]
