For the first Shin Megami Tensei V demon trailer of the day, Atlus is putting the spotlight on Sukuna-Hikona. Its very initial appearance came in Shin Megami Tensei II, and it has been present throughout the series since.

Over on the Megami Tensei Wiki, the site offers up some background information about Sukuna-Hikona. Read a bit more about the creature below.

Sukuna-Hikona, also known as Sukunabikona or in full, Sukuna-Hikona no Kami, is the Japanese dwarf deity of healing and sake brewing and is associated with hot springs. He assisted Okuninushi in building the world and formulating protections against disease and wild animals in myths from the Izumo region.
He first arrived in Izumo in a small boat of bark and clad in goose skins. Later, he was picked up by Okuninushi, and Sukuna-Hikona promptly bit him on the cheek. The two, nevertheless, became fast friends.
His shrine is located in Dosho-machi, Osaka.

As for today’s Shin Megami Tensei V video with Sukuna-Hikona, we’ve included the trailer below.

Shin Megami Tensei V is set for release on Switch next month – specifically November 12. If you’re interested in further exploring the game and seeing previous demon trailers, check out our previous coverage here.
