Shin Megami Tensei vs toaru

[JayK]

I don't really know how this got 7 pages.

The cosmology of the weakest avatar of a single head of YHVH is multiversal+ (even a huge lowball considering Strange Journey), technically making every head a megaverse.

In Apocalypse we then see that there are thousand heads.

YHVH's own realm is outright called infinitely bigger than all of that and each of the 4 layers his realm consists of is infinitely larger than the lower layer.

The Diamond Realm then connects all that to even more shit. How large the Diamond Realm outside of the beforementioned stuff is, is speculation however.

And e.g. I am not even getting into the rabbit hole of the Axiom technically making our real life mythologies canon to SMT despite it being a very major retroactively applying plot point brought up in the DLC in IV. Of course also with mythological lore written down in the demon compendiums of every entry.

経絡の向こうの奥底、
無限のアマラからオレの守護がやってくる

そこにいるのは、時間の流れからも外れ
名前すら失った存在

... From the depths beyond the meridian,
Beyond the infinite Amara my guardian will come

Existing in that place, it is outside the flow of time
A being without even a name...

posting this because fuck Isamu

Demon mythology was referenced long before V. I just don't remember where and would probably have to check SB, except I don't want to
