** [[wikipedia:Mount Megiddo|In a way, it does.]] That series of spells is named for the mountain where Armageddon will supposedly be fought.
** This extends to any Almighty attack, really (the Megido are the main spells but not the only ones).
** ''Devil Survivor'' takes it [[Up to Eleven]] by adding the -dyne suffix. As if Megidolaon wasn't bad enough,
*** Then others like ''Strange Journey'' throws fuel on the fire by planting new spells in that are of the same type. Thought Megidolaon was awesome? Add in Big Bang which is even more powerful by a good 200 points. Then we have Babylon Goblet which has a chance to charm. Good luck recovering from that. And god forbid you get the eponymous JIHAD because not only is it one of the strongest spells in the game, but it also LOWERS THEIR STATS TOO. But to be fair while you have those, you can bet your opponent has even better shit than you.
* [[That One Boss]]: [["Wake-Up Call" Boss|Matador]] and Mot in ''Nocturne'', the golden metal trio in ''[[Persona 2]]'', Intrepid Knight in ''[[Persona 3]]'', anyone in ''Digital Devil Saga'' with the second boss theme and probably a few more. Of course, if you don't use all of the options that are available to you like ailment inducing ammo, buff and debuff skills, buff and debuff cancelling skill, healing skills, elemental and ailments immunity to at least some of the bosses attacks, then expect lot of bosses to suddenly turn into [[Nintendo Hard]] [[That One Boss]]. You know what, let's just tell you we have [[That One Boss/Atlus|ThatOneBoss/Atlus]] (where ''Shin Megami Tensei'' makes up most of the article) and leave it at that.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]
** This was noticeably absent in ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' and the later installments of the ''Persona'' series, both of which used a more manga, cartoony style, that severely contrasted with all the [[Nightmare Fuel]] of the game.
*** Both of those series had different character designers for the human characters, while keeping Kazuma Kaneko's demon/persona designs. Kaneko is responsible for the human character designs in all the main series ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games, as well as
* [[Ugly Cute]]: Some of the demons that aren't [[Our Monsters Are Different|mind-bogglingly strange]] or [[Stripperific]] demon babes could arguably qualify. Decarabia and Yatsufusa are some examples.
* [[Values Dissonance]]
** ''Nocturne'' even got an A in Japan, which basically means suitable for everyone. Note that this game is considerably more difficult than the already difficult ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]'' and ''Persona'' sub-series, you get turned into a demon by having a snake-like parasite get ''dropped into your eye'' '''in first-person perspective''' and
** Many speculate that the only reason many of the games—even the less violent ones such as ''[[Persona 3]]'' and ''[[Persona 4|4]]''—have M-ratings in the United States is because of [[Gag Penis|Mara]], who is absent in ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' games, one of the few series in the franchise to carry a T-rating.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]
