Was ist das?: Shin Megami Tensei is Controversial. Again.
NicUrfe \| 4:39 PM on 08.31.2007	3 comments

The demonic and occult themed MegaTen series (Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, Digital Devil Saga) has always flirted with controversy, be that the first two Shin Megami Tensei games' religious imagery or Persona 3's depiction of a poor little puppy in brutal hand to hand combat. Still, I was a little shocked when I noticed the undeniable similarity between the red execution squad armbands worn by all the main characters in Persona 3 and those worn by the founders of the Third Reich. Upon further reflection I guess this little crossover makes some sense though. We all knew that Hitler was some sort of demon. What we didn't know was that Jack Frost was a Nazi.

I guess this is Nazi too, then?

I mean, it's not like Japanese clubs actually normally WEAR these things, right? RIGHT?

NAZIS!!!!!

Christ, they're everywhere. The whole bunny-ears thing must be some sort of Nazi/pagan rabbit-as-fertility-god ritual. Things are worse then I thought.
