* GeniusBonus: For non-Japanese players: Taisho 20, the year the game takes place in. If you know about Japan numbering years based on imperial reigns, it makes sense...except for the fact Taisho 20 never happened, as Emperor Taisho died in Taisho 15; in real life, the year would be Showa 6. This seemingly inexplicable bit of alternate history is one of the biggest hints that [[spoiler:despite his plan failing, the BigBad unknowingly succeeded in his goal of stopping the events of the classic ''Shin Megami Tensei'' duology from occurring in this timeline]].

** [[spoiler:Munakata/Sukuna-Hikona]]. He moves all around the screen and hisregular attacks knock you off your feet (but are at least blockable). His corresponding ThatOneAttack consists of summoning two waves of Hirukos which paralyse whoever they catch, and he follows up with a very powerful beam which not only can easily kill you, but also seals your demon into its tube for the remaining of the battle, which can royally screw you over.

* ThatOneBoss: Mishaguji and [[spoiler:Sukuna-Hikona]].

to:

* ThatOneBoss: Mishaguji Mishaguji. He has an attack called Cursed Emmision, which consists of a ball that chases Raidou around and [[spoiler:Sukuna-Hikona]].stuns him even if he blocks it, and an even worse one called Cursed Bolt, which can be blocked but easily reaches your demon instead and charms it (and it if it's a healing demon, it may fully heal Mishaguji). This is on top of a large HP pool and a regular attack that throws you to the other side of the room even when blocking.

* HilariousInHindsight: Raidou would not be the last time Atlus created a Megami Tensei hero that dresses in black, has a jazzy theme song, acts flashier than mainline SMT heroes, investigates strange occurrences, and has a talking cat sidekick. Joker from ''VideoGame/Persona5'' would check all of those boxes.

Joker from ''VideoGame/Persona5'' would check all of those boxes. In fact, Joker would later go on to star in his own ActionRPG spinoff, ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'', which ended up playing more akin to Raidou's games mixed with stealth, platforming and exploring parts of Japan to gain items and progress the story as opposed to a ''Dynasty Warriors'' clone with Persona 5 paint.

A. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is very much turn based and B. the first one was released before Raidou Kuzunoha

* MemeticBadass: Raidou himself is seen as this in the eyes of the fandom.fandom, especially due to taking a more active role in combat due to being in an action JRPG instead of turn-based, alongside facing off the [[HeroOfAnotherStory Demi-Fiend]] in his guest appearance on ''Nocturne''.

Nightmare Fuel has its own page.


* NightmareFuel: The game over screen is pretty traumatizing, and [[spoiler: [[BodyHorror Sukuna-Hikona slithering its way out of Munakata's mouth definitely counts]]]]. Additionally, our introduction to the [[spoiler: Hiruko]] is fairly scary - surprising that [[TheStoic Raidou manages to keep a straight face for this]] (But not for the game over sequence, in which he is blatantly terrified. Must be ''really'' scary then).

* {{Woolseyism}}: There's a drunken NPC in Ginza-Cho who in the Japanese version, would quote various popular Japanese songs. This was changed in the US release, where he quotes popular US songs.
