Though his only concern is whether the fan translations are done right due to things being lost in translation.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The novel makes reference to the lack of widespread Internet access and programming via command-line interfaces, easily establishing this as a work of TheEighties. Had it been written today, you can bet that Nakajima would be programming via an integraded development environment of some sort or even just a programming-oriented graphical text editor.

** AI are programmed via command-line interface, and the first time Nakajima tries to use his program, he gets an OUT OF MEMORY error. The text of the translation even [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this, when mentioning that most people hadn't even heard of the Internet yet.
** Nakajima has to use a traditional personal computer, hooked into the mains and all, to use the demon summoning program. If the novel was written today, he probably would've done it on a laptop or a cellphone (and indeed, ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'' and ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' feature demons being summoned with cellphones).

* WriteWhatYouKnow: In [[https://dijehtranslations.wordpress.com/2016/08/08/nishitani-aya-interview-about-digital-devil-story-buddhism-norse-mythology-and-lovecraft/ an interview]], Nishitani said he came up with the concept for the Demon Summoning Program from his interest in astrology as a kid that later in life led him to write and sell software for it. Then he noticed the connection between Western BlackMagic and the [[MagicPrerequisite position of the planets]], and a computer's capability to simulate the latter, and so the idea of practicing magic itself on the PC was born.
