Shin Megami Tensei V daily demon vol. 146 – Barong

Atlus has returned with another demon trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V, with the latest update highlighting Barong. It was first featured in Megami Tensei on the Famicom.

Here’s some background information on Barong, courtesy of the Megami Tensei Wiki:

Barong is the protector of mankind that represents the forces of good in Indonesian lore. It uses its charms and magic to defend villagers against the deathly black magic of the witch Rangda. He is a guardian spirit that is most commonly seen in the form of a lion, although each region within Bali has its own version of Barong, the others being a dragon, boar or a tiger. Barong is animated by the brother spirit Banas Pati Rajah to do battle with Rangda in order to restore the balance between good and evil. However, after Rangda is killed, she is eventually resurrected, and Barong must do battle once again. This eternal battle is depicted in rituals seen in Bali, and in recent times have become an attraction for tourists.

The new Shin Megami Tensei V demon trailer for Barong can be found below.

Shin Megami Tensei V is due out for Switch on November 12. You can find all of our previous coverage on the game here.
