Deus, i dont know if anyone has told you, but i adore the way you pronouce the like, demon names and the skill names and stuff. Your accent is already really soothing but the way you say some of those names is just rad. Love the content my dude!
Oh, shit, I didn't know my favourite SMTuber was West African. My fam's from Sierra Leone, personally. It's also great to hear an African perspective on the inclusion of African demons, and I kinda hope we see more of that in future SMT stuff
@@bubblewaffle1558 You are right, nvm. SMT3 is deep in my backlog because I basically was playing P5R, SMTV, Metaphor and I have P3P, SMT4, DDS1, DDS2 an Etrian Odyssey queued up before SMT3 so I never knew that.
Vengence kinda has a lot hidden about Yakumo and Nuwa. Most importantly; it explains why the True Neutral Ending is a thing. When Yakumo dies but Nuwa lives, Nuwa reveals the initial goal of Yakumo and her, to create a world for humans alone. However, we learn in Vengance that the Bull God; the one who defeated Tiamat and all gods after were descended, cursed the throne so a Snake could never sit upon it again. While Nuwa is a "Lady" race... she is also clearly a snake. As such, Yakumo and Nuwa would literally be unable to re-create the world. So they resolved to destroy the throne instead. While Yakumo would not trust you to act for his dream, Nuwa, with Yakumo gone so not even able to destroy the throne, is willing to trust you to fufill Yakumo's true, abandoned dream. In the CoV; we see what happens when Nuwa dies and Yakumo is left. Yakumo cannot reach the Empyrian or even destroy the Throne, so he trusts you to do what you can, and vows to protect Tokyo in your stead while you do what must be done. Yet he won't admit his true, initial goal to you like Nuwa entrusted to you. But why is Yakumo unwilling to re-commit and entrust his initial plan to you while Nuwa is? Simple. Yakumo's hypocrisy, which is also covered in Vengance. He truly has fallen for Nuwa. He no longer wants a world where she would not exist.
Deus I have to say. This was your finest work yet. It was perfect. PERFECT. EVERYTHING. Down to the last minute details. From the voice acting, editing, constant Gigachad Oni propaganda and just everything just worked so well together to create the ultimate SMTVV experience. You can only go up from here my friend. 3:03:20 and thank you so much for shouting me out personally. It’s amazing to see myself appear like this and always amazing to see stuff from our brainstorming sessions appear in your videos.
Hello! Trivia? 41:30 Normally max speed stacks gets 1.2x accuracy and 0.85x enemy accuracy. However the devs, likely recognizing that evasion stacking in this game is simply not good and does not get the effect they're looking for, ended up adding a special effect to enemy Matador's Red Capote that adds 0.5 to the accuracy multiplier (for 1.7x) and subtracting 0.5 from the enemy accuracy multiplier (for 0.35x). This +0.5/-0.5 persists so long as his speed stage remains positive. in short: he cheats, and actually boosts his evasion *beyond the max*. No, your Matador doesn't get this. Your Red Capote has no special effects beyond the obvious. 1:02:30 If you're curious, the exact amount is 20% After the (ironic now that I think about it) Vengeance miracle nerf, this is the single biggest Magatsuhi Gauge fill in the game aside from the random 15% to 25% at the end of your turn. 1:30:14 God's Bow is also unique in that its base ailment rate is 150, tieing it for the 2nd highest instakill rate in the game, behind Dance of Mara (which is conditioned on the target having Charm). 1:45-ish To elaborate a bit on Omnipotent Succession. The reason it doesn't expire is that it's treated as a charge-like, and occupies the charge effect slot. 1:52:40 Btw, the update that released *today* added a 2nd copy of this Mara fight with a different AI. I have no clue if it's used. 1:57:06 Nahobeeho actually has the *lowest* enemy encounter rate of his navigator type (at least before today's update). I suspect the reason you got so many enemies is that there were several fixed navi spots with encounters near where you get him, but this isn't something I can confirm at this time. 2:03:04 For anyone who wants to know the precise number, this is 1/20th of the normal damage. Also if you're curious, Shroud's MP damage is exactly 1/9th of what Poison's HP damage would be in that scenario. 2:07:30 Remember earlier how I said God's Bow was tied for the 2nd highest instakill rate. Evil Melody is what it's tied with. 3:10:20 I'm sorry, but that is *not* the basic attack. The basic attack is 100 power. This is (I'm dead serious btw) an actual skill called "Attack" with 150 power.
@@jaffinator2166 Demi-Fiend 999's Gaea Rage is technically survivable (though Overheal is strictly required), and that's 9999 power. Heliopolis is only 1000 power even without the Shroud modifier.
Is there any list or reference for the navi types and their items/encounter rates? I had always assumed that it was a purely aesthetic choice until i read this.
Of all the days this game could have been given a content update (including 1(?) new quest boss fight, Elite Virtual Trainer battles and 6 new demon navigators), it had to be the same day as the premiere of this epic video...
Deus I am forever in debt to you your explanation of your nationality has helped me remember where cote de ivore is on my upcoming Africa test thanks to you I will not fail
Good luck with Satan, if you ever try the fight. Also pretty cool to hear about SMT fans from West Africa. Especially you Dues, you’re my favorite content creator on this series alongside Robin and Zephyr.
You've seriously become my favorite TH-camr ever with all of these challenge runs you do. Looking forward to seeing what you can come up with for Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Cant lie man, ive loved your content ever since you first started these challenge runs, but this is easily your best yet. I cant even imagine what the superboss run will look like
As a fan of both franchises I really like the Elden Ring memes/Jokes. Great video and challenge as always, looking forward to the next one, keep up the amazing work!
Finally got around to watching this and I’m so so happy I did. 5V is my personal GOTY and watching challenge runs like this one gave me deeper appreciation for how the gameplay works along with all the little things. Wonderful job as always!!! :D
Ok its REALLY cool to find out your ethnicity Deus. I sort of assumed you were from Egypt at first due to your accent, then dropped that thoufht for "his home is Masochism. Now back to enjoying his amazing videos" Honestly, thank you. Ive had a shitty day, and this cheered me right up.
I don't know if you'll ever read this but I just wanted to say, you are my favorite content creator on all of TH-cam. The amount of love and effort you put in your videos is amazing. I love the fact that you got voice actors to act some parts as well, and your script writing is hilarious. I spent the last few months waiting for you to come out with this video, and it didn't disappoint at all. Wishing you the best of luck in your TH-cam career. 🙂
a Deus video is like a SMT game, it starts moderately difficult teasing around the game mechanics to try and get an advantage but by the end you are fighting god and didn't hear a bell
now this is what youtube is for. love the editing, interspersed lore, and humor. vengeance is one of my favorite games to come out this year and definitely solidified itself next to the other SMT games this time imo. metaphor is pretty damn (sometimes annoyingly) challenging on hard but i'm finally almost done with it. would love to see someone i enjoy watching tackle a challenge run in that game.
I'm probably going to sound like a dolt, but for a while I just assumed Deus was Hispanic, and when he revealed he spoke French I switched to assuming he was from Quebec. The idea that he wasn't from either of the Americas didn't really cross my mind until this video. Speaking of this video, it's great. I love the running gags of x Gaming, smashcutting to Murakumo, and the single note of the Ultra Instinct theme every time Nahobino dodges. It's these tiny little details that really makes it as enjoyable as it is. Great stuff, can't wait to see what else is in the pipeline after the superboss video.
Absolutely brilliant editing and mad props for using Devil Survivor 2 OST. Lookong forward to the Super Boss video and possibly a Devil Survivor challenge?
Mastema the GOAT. Fun fact for those who don't know: M's Revelation is a reference to his SMT IV DLC quest, where it's totally not him, and some other guy named M.
Such a fire upload Deus you once again outdid yourself, i love the way you make this so interesting and engaging, from the line deliveries to the renders to the story telling makes it that much better, the comparison of losing aogami and the glowup of Tsukuyomi was chefs kiss as well i have nothing but kindness to say, can't wait for the super bosses! Also sadge day for us Girimekhala stans, i hope my guy hasn't been forgotten ;-;
Bro, there is no two ways about it, you are a genius when it comes to the comedic timing. I laughed every time Murakumo cut someone off mid sentence, because that is exactly what Murakumo use feels like. The references were hilarious and it felt so refreshing to be back in the world of SMTV where I first discovered your work. Thank you and keep it up :)
I just love your videos Deus,i really don't know how you survive all the things that SMT throw to you,i've enjoyed every second of your videos because they are just PEAK CINEMA,and i hope that your videos and life always go well :)
I'm just gonna put this here but according to the smt fusion calculator, Walpurgisnacht is one of, if not, the hardest hitting repeatable spell in the game. It has a power of 330 baseline...thats as strong as Murakumo when it crits on top of being able to one shot anything thats weak to dark. Any of the other spells that hit harder are multi-hit attacks that equate to a higher overall power, require some very specific set ups like Heavenly Ikuyumi, or are gauge based multi demon attacks so its expected.
I was looking for a comment saying this! Deus was already my favorite TH-camr, but now he's ensured that he will stay at the top of my list of favorites.
Truly a godly video. Had to drop everything else to watch it. Your work continues to be some of the absolute finest not just in terms of SMT content, but Challenge Run content as well. The sheer amount of effort to give every portion so much character with the jokes and use of 3D models, the general story telling. It's all just fantastic.
Man, you never miss with these challenge runs, they cook 10-star meals every time. Ever since that first run in 2022 I’ve been smiling every time I see gigachad oni, or iron claw gaming. Hope to see more great stuff in the future
Best long form challenge run video I've ever watched, honestly. Peak editing, peak humour, peak everything. You can tell at a second's glance how much the SMT series means to you, literally every second of this three hour long epos is oozing with the enjoyment you have for these games. Thank you for the work you're putting in, man :)
What an excellent video this is. I enjoyed every single bit of it. You re-ignited my passion to play this game more(I have yet to defeat Satan and unlock Godborn, as well as defeating DF, and more...), and thank you for making my day with this amazing entertainment!
over the last couple of weeks I checked every day in anticipation for this video to drop, thinking to myself "wow, why is it taking so long?", but after watching a 3 hour cinematic masterpiece I can understand why
Another great video. I've said it before, these games aren't for me but I love watching the challenge runs. The only thing that tripped me up was when you said Ranni was in the game and when you finished the Lilith fight, I didn't see Ranni's essence and it clicked lol.
Good work out there man. This was simply amazing. I’ll be re watching this over and over until your new vid comes out. You have my support and patience as the result of such are literally so damn good.
38:10 Thats an understatement. Voracious Salvation increases to 450 Power against a target with an Ailment. For reference, THATS THE SAME POWER AS GUEST DEMI-FIEND'S GAEA RAGE.
God-tier level of editing, ridiculously stylish and done in such inventive ways. The way you modded the in-game models too is incredible. Thank you for doing such entertaining work with the SMT games!!
I remember the duo fight against Glasya Labolas and Naamah killing me once because Glasya straight up killed Naamah himself to get 4-7 actions that turn and nuked my team
Awesome and amazing Vid! Thrilled to learn about you being west African. Keep up the amazing work man every vid is better then the last... which is wild because it means you've gone from 10/10 to 12/10
It's already been a year since I've suggested this challenge run. Hopefully, you see it deus. For SMT nocturne, i think it would be a great challenge run. Rules are as follows 1. You can only recruit demons from the Shinjuku medical center. 2. You can fuse any of the demons from the SMC, but you can not use the campodium. And you can not fuse the demons again after the first fusion. (Since the very definition of a masocist is this channels slogan, you can throw an extra rule on there to where you can't fuse demons that would end up being above level 15-20) 3. You have to do the true demon ending. And you can not do any glitches that skip any dungeons/bosses (like the tunnels) 4. Demi fiend cannot use any physical moves aside from the basic attack. I hope you see this, Deus! I've never seen this challenge run done, and i can't think of anyone better to do it. (Day after edit) since pixie and preta are two demons you can get in the medical center you can use the labyrinth to get them but you cannot fuse them, you have to level them.
actually cool as hell about the ending choice only coming up when youre neutral, didnt know that i got locked to Tao's route by accident, not that i minded too much but Yoko's my fave girl so i was bit disappointed i couldnt side with her cuz id been too nice lmao even bigger shame there's no Vengeance Neutral end SICK editing and work as always deus!
I ADORED the video, dude! Loved the "thank you little buddy" as much as i did on the 1st video, and the "RELOAD 😏" Makoto image was so great. Amd the voicelines! Great quality as always 😎
"I'm not hate myself that much" - said the man who beat game 18 times, to survive Gaea Rage. ХD As always great video, and mentioning of memes, from other SMT challenges, is warming my heart.
Man, I'd loved the original when it released on switch so I cannot wait to pick this up soon. Recently finished ReFantazio, and although it was amazingly fun, I kept waiting for a time where the combat felt just as satisfying as SMT V but it never quite reached the flow state I wished for. There is something SO so perfect about the flow of combat, the buffs, the animations and popping numbers that makes SMT V one of my favorite turn based games I'd ever played.
2:00 well yeah, she has wings, she could have clearly ran away! (also Pretas are level 3 and she's level 76 so she was clearly catfishing Nahobino from the start)
The reason everyone goes on car rants is because they're right and we in the states need to hear it :) Cars are extremely dangerous and also extremely inefficient for travel, but they provide a sense of independence, so we don't invest at all in public transit and instead put all transportation concerns in the "you should have a car" box. In this TED Talk, I will...
Thank you ! In the description of these big videos I always include a segment going over how long it took to produce them. Feel free to check that out if you wanna get an idea !
Genuinely heartwarming to hear about your perspective growing up with tales of deities like Anansi and Onyankopon. Thank you for sharing, Deus.
Agreed!
Deus has emerged from the GIGACHAD oni cave of editing in Da'at to deliver a tale of masochism and gigachad-hood
Idk where this is from but I find it funny so get liked
The Oni Goon cave
I wish that "oni cave" would first remind me of the actual cave in Nocturne, instead of that one piece of literature 😭
Ooo lucy's tunnel of the oni.

God's Bow is also unique in that its base ailment rate is 150, tieing it for the 2nd highest instakill rate in the game, behind Dance of Mara (which is conditioned on the target having Charm).
1:45-ish
To elaborate a bit on Omnipotent Succession. The reason it doesn't expire is that it's treated as a charge-like, and occupies the charge effect slot.

It has a power of 330 baseline...thats as strong as Murakumo when it crits on top of being able to one shot anything thats weak to dark. Any of the other spells that hit harder are multi-hit attacks that equate to a higher overall power, require some very specific set ups like Heavenly Ikuyumi, or are gauge based multi demon attacks so its expected.
1:38:42 Dark Cloud music in a SMT V video? Oh HELL YES!
*ahem* More importantly, amazing video , Deus. 🧡
I was looking for a comment saying this!
Deus was already my favorite TH-camr, but now he's ensured that he will stay at the top of my list of favorites.
Was waiting for an SMT V Vengeance run of yours. Gonna sit back eat dinner and watch!
theres so much effort put into every second of this video gotta comment to bump it in the algo
Truly a godly video. Had to drop everything else to watch it.
Your work continues to be some of the absolute finest not just in terms of SMT content, but Challenge Run content as well.
The sheer amount of effort to give every portion so much character with the jokes and use of 3D models, the general story telling. It's all just fantastic.
I love your videos normally, but this was a MASTERPIECE! well.worth the wait and please keep on keeping on!
This mans perseverance is insane both in game and the editing process believe me as an editor i know how long this would've taken
Man, you never miss with these challenge runs, they cook 10-star meals every time. Ever since that first run in 2022 I’ve been smiling every time I see gigachad oni, or iron claw gaming. Hope to see more great stuff in the future
Best long form challenge run video I've ever watched, honestly. Peak editing, peak humour, peak everything. You can tell at a second's glance how much the SMT series means to you, literally every second of this three hour long epos is oozing with the enjoyment you have for these games. Thank you for the work you're putting in, man :)
What an excellent video this is. I enjoyed every single bit of it. You re-ignited my passion to play this game more(I have yet to defeat Satan and unlock Godborn, as well as defeating DF, and more...), and thank you for making my day with this amazing entertainment!
55:57 Mizazu being a bottom is canon now, I don't make the rules I just enforce them.
Thank GOD my goat isn't french, you had us really worried for a while there deus.
over the last couple of weeks I checked every day in anticipation for this video to drop, thinking to myself "wow, why is it taking so long?", but after watching a 3 hour cinematic masterpiece I can understand why
You're the only youtuber ever that can make me watch a 3 hour video without getting bored a single time, thanks for this masterpiece 😭🙏
WE BACKKKKK YESSSS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🗣️🗣️ THANKS FOR THE VIDEO 🙏
Another FANTASTIC vid. Good luck in the editing cave! Your victory is assured!
Another GOATed SMT video, i love watch your videos and thanks to them i build the courage to face some SMT games, keep doing this amazing work Deus
SMT:5 Vengeance drops
Deus:ahh shh here we go again
Another great video. I've said it before, these games aren't for me but I love watching the challenge runs. The only thing that tripped me up was when you said Ranni was in the game and when you finished the Lilith fight, I didn't see Ranni's essence and it clicked lol.
Your videos are so high production. I'm impressed every time one of these comes out.
Good work out there man. This was simply amazing. I’ll be re watching this over and over until your new vid comes out.
You have my support and patience as the result of such are literally so damn good.
Love the game, my only gripe story wise is the whole “you beat the boss in the battle, but still lose in the cutscene” trope
38:10 Thats an understatement. Voracious Salvation increases to 450 Power against a target with an Ailment. For reference, THATS THE SAME POWER AS GUEST DEMI-FIEND'S GAEA RAGE.
God-tier level of editing, ridiculously stylish and done in such inventive ways. The way you modded the in-game models too is incredible. Thank you for doing such entertaining work with the SMT games!!
Great video and editing is always on point! Your commentary never gets old too hehehe
I've been waiting for this!
I remember the duo fight against Glasya Labolas and Naamah killing me once because Glasya straight up killed Naamah himself to get 4-7 actions that turn and nuked my team
Fucking metal as fuck holy shit, can other bosses kill their companions to get more press turns?
@ I don’t believe so other than Satan who has an entire gimmick around cannibalizing his teammates
@@DaitylSword also sick as fuck, but kinda terrifying knowing the only other boss who does that to teamates is literally the devil
This aint a video, this a journey. A Strange Journey.
Awesome and amazing Vid! Thrilled to learn about you being west African. Keep up the amazing work man every vid is better then the last... which is wild because it means you've gone from 10/10 to 12/10
This is such a good video.
The editing and script and stuff is reminiscent of an older TH-cam video yet it still feels fresh and new.
It's already been a year since I've suggested this challenge run. Hopefully, you see it deus. For SMT nocturne, i think it would be a great challenge run. Rules are as follows
1. You can only recruit demons from the Shinjuku medical center.
2. You can fuse any of the demons from the SMC, but you can not use the campodium. And you can not fuse the demons again after the first fusion. (Since the very definition of a masocist is this channels slogan, you can throw an extra rule on there to where you can't fuse demons that would end up being above level 15-20)
3. You have to do the true demon ending. And you can not do any glitches that skip any dungeons/bosses (like the tunnels)
4. Demi fiend cannot use any physical moves aside from the basic attack.
I hope you see this, Deus! I've never seen this challenge run done, and i can't think of anyone better to do it.
(Day after edit) since pixie and preta are two demons you can get in the medical center you can use the labyrinth to get them but you cannot fuse them, you have to level them.
23:14 what the hell was young man watching
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
i kept wondering why the name "Onyankopon" sounded so familiar
then i finally remembered - it's the name of the black guy in attack on titan.
1:12:36
Love it when a character drops cryptic nonsense, then leaves without elaboration. What a power move
My man came back to the editing cave with an actual movie. I loved all this thx man please mever stop doing this!
Imma watch it again-
actually cool as hell about the ending choice only coming up when youre neutral, didnt know that
i got locked to Tao's route by accident, not that i minded too much but Yoko's my fave girl so i was bit disappointed i couldnt side with her cuz id been too nice lmao
even bigger shame there's no Vengeance Neutral end
SICK editing and work as always deus!
Im so glad you had the funny Great Lament spam as well.
I ADORED the video, dude! Loved the "thank you little buddy" as much as i did on the 1st video, and the "RELOAD 😏" Makoto image was so great.
Amd the voicelines! Great quality as always 😎
"I'm not hate myself that much" - said the man who beat game 18 times, to survive Gaea Rage. ХD
As always great video, and mentioning of memes, from other SMT challenges, is warming my heart.
Man, I'd loved the original when it released on switch so I cannot wait to pick this up soon. Recently finished ReFantazio, and although it was amazingly fun, I kept waiting for a time where the combat felt just as satisfying as SMT V but it never quite reached the flow state I wished for.
There is something SO so perfect about the flow of combat, the buffs, the animations and popping numbers that makes SMT V one of my favorite turn based games I'd ever played.
The hand on shoulder meme part of this was my fave part and I can’t find it now .. CURSE YOU hilarious and long videos I love
I FUCKING MISS YOU, THANK GOD YOU'RE ALIVE
2:00 well yeah, she has wings, she could have clearly ran away!
(also Pretas are level 3 and she's level 76 so she was clearly catfishing Nahobino from the start)
The reason everyone goes on car rants is because they're right and we in the states need to hear it :)
Cars are extremely dangerous and also extremely inefficient for travel, but they provide a sense of independence, so we don't invest at all in public transit and instead put all transportation concerns in the "you should have a car" box.
In this TED Talk, I will...
Your editing and content skills are insane. I cannot even begin to imagine how long this took you to make.
Thank you ! In the description of these big videos I always include a segment going over how long it took to produce them. Feel free to check that out if you wanna get an idea !
@@Doos Can definitely feel the passion man. Your ability to tell a story is incredible. Keep it up!
