Continuing the episodic feel of game openings is Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner – Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army. In Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner – Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army, you play as Raidou Kuzunoha in fictional 20th century Japan during the Taisho period. That is about all of my knowledge of this game since I have yet to play it (will take a copy if one is laying around). Even though I have not play Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner – Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army, I can tell it is a good time just based on this catchy opening.
The opening scene showcases our main cast of Raidou, Shohei, Gouto, Tae, and random bad guy of the evening. That episodic charm is shown of by showing an everyday lifestyle of each character. Raidou chases people all day, Shohei and Gouto have Tom and Jerry moments, and Tae likes to eat concrete with her camera. I fell that the story could be about anything and the opening still fit. The showcase of the paranormal aspect with humans turning into demons highlights the interesting twist to this detective show and how the demons known in the franchise fit into the plot. The last shot at the end with Raidou pulling out all of his demons to take on the army surrounding him feels powerful and shows the confident level that he showcases during his job.
Hey! I got through that whole paragraph without saying Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner – Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army! Do you realize how crazy long of a title that is? It is not as bad as its sequel, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2- Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. That feels even longer to say. I would include that intro along with this one, but that one feels like the opening to a specific arc rather than the overall series. Now if you excuses me, I need to see how many times I can say Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner – Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army.
