Line 157:
* [[God Is Evil]]: {{spoiler|YHVH Himself doesn't put in an appearance, but the Three Wise Men are presumably acting on His orders, and they aren't any nicer than he is in earlier instalments. There are hints they're actually acting on their own initiative, but, aside from [[Shin Megami Tensei II|SMT2]], [[Lawful Stupid|angels]] don't ''usually'' have a history of that in SMT.}}
** Two [[New Game+]] quests more than imply that {{spoiler|Metatron and Demiurge are [[Pieces of God]] who lost to the Mothers before the story began. The Piece that takes Metatron's form even says that God forgot his love for humans and humans stopped believing him in return. Even after fusing with the Demiurge piece he implies that he hasn't changed at all. Luckily you have a chance to [[Sealed Evil in a Can|seal him away for good]] thanks to a mysterious female entity who is not aligned with Law or Chaos.}} This leads to the question of {{spoiler|whether the Angels are actually acting on their own agenda or were following the Piece that took Metatron's form.}}
* [[Golden Ending]]: Arguably, the Neutral ending is the most sane and optimistic of all three endings, with {{spoiler|the Schwarzwelt being obliterated and Earth returning to normal.}} And this is on top of Neutral being the [[Path of Most Resistance]] (and having a [[That One Boss|bullshit]] [[Final Boss]]), as per SMT tradition. See [[Nightmare Fuel]] below to see how the Law and Chaos endings fare in comparison.
* [[Gratuitous German]]: The Schwarz (black) welt (world).
** One demon conversation has the demon translate it as its probable intended meaning, "Black Horizon," which the Schwartzwelt certainly is; a zone of blackness enveloping the Earth.
