Shin Megami Tensei V and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance waste no time introducing you to its anonymous protagonist, the Nahobino. We’re all fairly aware of the time period after a cycle of teasers and bulletins from Atlus within the lead-up to SMTV’s launch, however like loads of the developer’s different titles earlier than it, it’s possible you’ll not instantly concentrate on a canon title for the enigmatic protagonist. 

Atlus video games very often are likely to work that method. When you’re aware of SMT III Nocturne, maybe you’re anticipating to listen to Nahobino’s obtained a canonical title talked about someplace in a light-weight novel, manga, or radio drama, however these issues aren’t accessible for SMTV. They don’t seem to be usually accessible instantly upon launch, and even when they’re, their title is usually totally different relying upon the medium. Even in Persona 4, we noticed the protagonist use each Yu Narukami and Souji Seta. 

What’s the canon title of the Nahobino in SMTV? 

SMTV’s protagonist doesn’t have a canon title. Not likely. A minimum of, he doesn’t have one for now, however that might all the time change later. You have not missed any spin-off anime collection or brief tales, he is simply no matter you want to name him at first. 

There is just one title given to the Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance protagonist by any supply. In line with megatenwiki, the protagonist was given the Kei Amemura within the localized model of the sport in keeping with the debug menu. Nonetheless, within the Japanese model, he was merely often called Protagonist.

So, Kei Amemura is the closest factor we now have for the official title of the protagonist, despite the fact that it’s a stretch to name it canon.

There are many different locations to search for inspiration in case you’re after one thing extra in-line with the universe. Each the SMT and Persona collection boast protagonists with extra extensively accepted, most well-liked names and different extra obscure choices from much less standard media. We have an entire information on extra Persona nods, too. 

Ought to I title the protagonist Nahobino?

When you’ve seen of us referring to him as Nahobino and haven’t begun the journey simply but, simply know that’s an alias you’ll hear in-game – assume one thing like SMT III’s Demi-fiend or Persona 5’s Joker. How he will get that title is an early story beat, however it’s not one thing so that you can go naming SMTV’s lead. 

If Shin Megami Tensei V’s protagonist does wind up with a canon title, we’ll replace our information for future adventures. Till then, we have loads of different helpful references to take a look at:
