See Pazuzu and Kikuri-Hime in SMT V

Right on schedule, two more Shin Megami Tensei V videos are here. As usual, the latest demons are characters who’ve appeared in mainline games and spin-offs over the years. Both characters are also notable for being recognizable Arcana characters in Persona. First, the Pazuzu SMT V video showed up. (It’s usually a part of the Devil line in Persona.) After that, a Kikuri-Hime video appeared. (She is part of the Priestess line in Persona.)

Pazuzu is a Sumerian god appearing as an SMT V demon. In most SMT games, the character is known for dealing force/wind damage. That doesn’t change here, as one of the more notable skills that appears in the video is Zandyne+3. Tentarafoo+4 comes up too.

As for Kikuri-Hime, she’s a Japanese goddess. In past games, she’s typically known for her healing and revival spells. Appropriately enough, Media+3 does show up here as well. She also uses the force skills Mazan+2 and Zanma+2.
