It's the Karukozaka Class Reunion of 2025, and you're invited to take a look at the alumni demons who graduated and went on to (hopefully) better things! Who changed the most since they left? Who stayed the same? Who remembers when Goblin had that embarrassing pixel change in 2nd year? We all pretended not to notice but he was SO self-conscious about it- oh shit he's coming act natural.

Hey Goblin, long time no see! How's the family? The 2nd of a three part series about if...'s designs and sprites. This one has the most obsessive details yet of any video I've made so far!

Checking up the ''New'' Kaneko ''Demons''

We all have digested enough the idea that Kazuma Kaneko is back and doing A.I stuff. Honestly, pretty lame. But i got interested in two new mythological designs he has produced to his new game.

The first is Fionn McCool!

Below we have both Kaneko and Doi design for the same entity. And to be very honest... I think Doi is better.

Besides Kaneko version being just a call back to Tan Lin and Cu Cullain, there is not much unique elements to it. Its very basic, but not bad. I could not just see it and say it is this character.

Next in line is... Mormo.

Mormo is the greek myth version of the boogeyman.

There is no consensus on Mormo features. As much as i could check superficially, because i have never studied this creature in depth. Mormo is usually associated with this mozaic found in Italy, which actually depicts a Lamia, according to the picture data from the stock database it came from.

She is sometimes associated with the Empusa. Which is funny, because this design seems to combine Empusa and Alp, into one thing:

I don't know why, but it seems their designs got mixed, or at least Kaneko was recycling some poses and features.

Anyways I think this design is ok, but do not represent Mormo concept as a whole. Maybe she could be more monstruos.

Those are my shallow thoughts on it! Let me know yours!

Amon’s and Khonsu’s Bizarre Comparative Mythology Adventure

[I’m cleaning out some old drafts–this post began life just weeks after SMT5 released in November 2021: it’s still kinda rough and I’m not going to put any major work into finishing it, sorry to say, but there are some interesting bits here, particularly about Khonsu Ra, that should have been shared far sooner than now. But, uh, you know, 2022 tried to kill me and all.].

Here’s a LONG OVERDUE (to the point of feeling irrelevant) edit of a post I made on Resetera detailing how SMT5 (or do I not need the “5″?) is so confused over basic details of gods and demons via the late game quests featuring Amon, Khonsu, and other familiar faces. It’s PACKED with SCREENSHOTS and OPINIONS! Importantly, it features a Khonsu-Ra redemption story. (Yes, Khonsu-Ra actually exists!)

Honestly, it’s mostly a way for me to come to terms with how Amon is depicted. Really fond of that guy normally and this time it’s not just the design that hurts. Plus some other ideas about mythological archetypes the game throws around that could have actually been an interesting avenue to explore! (I now have no idea what I meant by that.)

Dato innecesario del día: Se esta llevando a cabo un genocidio en República Democrática del Congo, solamente que nadie está hablando de ello ni lo esta difundiendo, por eso se a ganado el nombre de genocidio silencioso, además de que incluso algunos tratan de tapar lo que sucede.
