Top 10 Genital Demons in Shin Megami Tensei
Kazuma Kaneko,one of the older members Atlus, is known for his
unique and often provocative designs for the literally hundreds of gods
and creatures the series has seen over the years.
Most infamously,
he has no shame in illustrating a particular demon to resemble what
are normally taboo items in video games: people’s dicks and hoo-has. And it’s
as it should be, since world mythology in general is often highly
sexualized with explicit iconography.
But amongst the many
fertility gods and goddesses and other nymphomaniacs the series has
seen, ten designs in particular best exemplify Kaneko’s skill at
highlighting the imagery that makes us laugh.
List items
1. Mara
Humanity often takes pause at the events that define who we are. Whether it’s the tragic death of a beloved icon or a triumphal against-all-odds accomplishment, the unification of emotion stirred by these events creates a moment in time that isn’t easily forgotten. And then there’s Mara. You may not recall when you first saw him, but by then his image had already been ingrained into your psyche forever. Then you bust a gut laughing so hard.-
2. Arioch
Since there’s not much traditional visualization to go on for Arioch, I’d like to think the design process for him was as simple as Kaneko scratching under his chin and thinking, “I’ll make him a walking vagina.” Add in some diseased-looking sores, rows of teeth, an insatiable tongue, and -- naturally -- a clitoris, and the subject of much suggestive Shakespearean poetry is suddenly transformed into an anthropomorphic nightmare and a total laugh riot. - <spin style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">

- 3. Mishaguji</hzxcz3>
<span class="deck">Time has been rough on Mishaguji. He was
once the popular Japanese god of lovemaking until some real squares put
the kibosh on his debauched fun. Now, he’s just second-rate – a poor
man’s Mara. He’s got no wheels, no bling, lacks a pair, and could really
use a shave. But he’s a fighter. Despite it all, he still has the
strength to stand erect on his own two feet, and that’s what really
counts. He's also funny-looking as crap, man! </span></span></li>

4. Kenta Yokouchi</hrzrs3>
<span class="deck">Our only human entrant, poor Kenta here has
been twice the victim. Not only was his finest moment part of the Snow
Queen quest that was axed from Persona 1’s initial US release, said
finest moment involved a penis monster bursting out of his chest.
Humility, thy name is Chunky. Chunky dicks, more like it! </span>

5. Ometeotl</zzdh3>
<span class="deck">Ometeotl is an Aztec god that represents the
duality of gender – one half is male, the other female. Ometeotl as it
appears in Soul Hackers stays true to this formula with the male half on
top and the female half on bottom, except for the key artistic license
that the male’s head is made up mostly of the female’s butt, with a
suspicious little red diamond on his face that, just between you and me,
probably isn’t a nose. See also the phallic horn coming out of the
female’s face. This one's so subtle I never noticed it. Hilarious! </span>

<h3>
6. Albion</h3>
<spazgrrgzn class="deck">Albion seems innocent enough, especially
given his childlike demeanor when he appears in Shin Megami Tensei:
Nocturne. His design as an anthropomorphic blob also seems rather tame
-- at least until you realize it’s based on the Cerne Abbas Giant, an
infamous hill drawing in England renowned for the size of its erect
manhood. That said, whatever kiddy disposition he has instantly becomes
really creepy. Wow, awesome. </sprrzan> -

7. Tiamat</h3>
<span classrsszdfs="deck">Iconography doesn’t need to be terribly
overt to get its point across. For example, take the Babylonian goddess
Tiamat as she appears in Soul Hackers. Amid the mess of boobs and
tentacles, there is a subtle red shape on her upper chest. It almost
looks like a flower, or even a pair of lips. And that’s when you realize
why she’s on this list, because she's a walking pussy, wwwwww</span>

8. Rahu</h3>
<span class="deck">Rahu’s attributes can easily be summed up in one simple sentence, but I’ll leave you to figure it out for yourself. Yeah, as if it coulnd't be any more obvious on this guy, wwwww</span>

9. Master Therion</h3>
<span class="deck">British occultist Aleister Crowley, who
called himself Master Therion, might’ve enjoyed the Shin Megami Tensei
series. Summoning demons was (allegedly) a hobby of his and he drew manyaeea4ty
of the ones he saw, unsurprisingly giving them all huge wangs in the
process. It’s a tribute then that his incarnation from Shin Megami
Tensei II would also sport a huge wang, though it was surprisingly
censored in-game. Love this guy and his uncensored dick in SMT4, wwwww</span>

<h3>
10. Diana</h3>eeaae
<span class="deck">Okay, so breasts aren't genitals and many of
Kaneko's designs have exposed nipples, but only Diana is made up of
mammary glands in a cancer-like mass that's more terrifying than
titillating. It’s ironic then that Diana’s actual assets are rather
modest. Take it as a unique commentary on the portrayal of women in
games. This ain't a dick or pussy </span>
