Line 287:
* [[Path of Most Resistance]]: Story-wise, the Neutral route, where both Heaven and Hell are out for your blood, as per ''Shin Megami Tensei'' tradition. ''[[Gameplay and Story Segregation|Gameplay]]''-wise, however, it's actually ''Law'', as it requires you to fight ''both'' of the [[That One Boss|absolutely brutal]] path-specific bosses. While you don't have to deal with {{spoiler|Zelenin}} like in the other two routes, the Neutral {{spoiler|Commander Gore}} (who has [[Marathon Boss|absurdly high HP]] and spams devastating physical attacks) and the Chaotic {{spoiler|Mem Aleph}} (hello, [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|100% accurate instant kill]]!) make that rather cold comfort.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: A few of the demons are like this (e.g. Nekomata, Halphas), but it rarely reflects to their personality.
* [[Playing with Syringes]]:
*
** This gets turned around later when you find out what {{spoiler|Captain Jack and his men}} are ''really'' doing in the Schwarzwelt. {{spoiler|Let's just say that the demons are actually portrayed in a sympathetic light for once even as they [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|curse humans]] for being mutilated, torn apart and put back together. It actually tugs at your heart when you turn off the cultivation tank they're in and put them out of their misery}}.
* [[Pocket Dimension]]: The ship of Jack's Squad, the ''Lightning'', is able to create one of these to serve as the squad's base of operations, and unlike the rest of the Schwarzwelt, the atmosphere in it is perfectly breathable by humans. The catch is that the power output necessary to generate such a location is so high that the ''Lightning'' cannot move in the meantime.
* [[Pokémon-Speak]]: Bugaboo, though Jimenez tries to teach him language to some success.
* [[Powered Armor]]: The Demonica Suit.
* [[Power Limiter]]/[[Power Nullifier]]: {{spoiler|Alilat}}.
* [[Psychological Torment Zone]]: Sector Grus. Imagine the first four Sectors' worst parts, merged together in a haze of illusion...
* [[Pure Is Not Good]]: As per ''Shin Megami Tensei'' tradition, this is why neither Law nor Chaos classifies as a good guy club. It doesn't help that each faction thinks "pure" and "good" are perfect synonyms.
* {{spoiler|[[Rage Against the Heavens]]: As "Metatron" (actually a shard of God) reveals after you defeat Alilat, this already happened. Humans and God abandoned each other, and the mothers (who had been suppressed by God) decided to take their revenge. Hence why the piece of God who said this wants to be "whole" again (cue Demiurge EX Mission, where you fight another piece of God)}}...
