Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Daily Demon Special – Konohana Sakuya Returns After Two Decades

Atlus, the renowned Japanese video game developer, has recently released a special Daily Demon video for their upcoming game Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. The focus of this particular video is on Konohana Sakuya, a demon of the Kunitsu race who hasn’t been seen in the Megami Tensei franchise for almost two decades.

Konohana Sakuya may be familiar to fans of the Persona series, as she previously appeared as the initial Persona of Yukiko Amagi in Persona 4. According to the official Persona 4 strategy guide, Konohana Sakuya is described as the daughter of a mountain-god and the flower goddess who embodies the Japanese ideal of life. Her symbol is the sakura, a flower that blooms brightly but fades quickly, symbolizing the fleeting nature of human life.

In Japanese mythology, Konohana Sakuya’s fidelity was once questioned by her husband, the sea-god Ninigi. In response, she locked herself in a hut and set it on fire, declaring that her children would only survive if they were truly Ninigi’s offspring.

The release date for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance on the Nintendo Switch has been set for June 14, 2024. Fans of the series can look forward to encountering Konohana Sakuya and other demons in this highly anticipated installment.

The Daily Demon video series by Atlus provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, showcasing the diverse and intriguing demons that players will encounter in the game. With the return of Konohana Sakuya after a long absence, fans are sure to be excited to see how she is portrayed in this latest installment.
