Shin Megami Tensei V daily demon vol. 196 – Kodama

Atlus is back with another demon trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V, with the latest update offering up a new look at the creature known as Kodama. It actually hasn’t had too many appearances in the franchise, as it first showed up in Shin Megami Tensei III. It did have an appearance in Persona 5 as well.

Over on the Megami Tensei Wiki, the site provides a tiny bit of background information on Kodama. Continue on below for some extra information about the demon.

A Kodama is a spirit from Japanese folklore, which is believed to live in certain trees. Cutting down a tree which houses a kodama is thought to bring misfortune, and such trees are often marked with shimenawa rope.

Take a look at the new demon trailer showing off Kodama in Shin Megami Tensei V below.

Shin Megami Tensei V is currently on track to release exclusively for Switch on November 12 both physically and digitally. We published a review of the game earlier today, which you can find here. We also have a ton of additional coverage on the game here, which has all of the demon trailers released thus far, trailers, and much more.
