Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has returned with its latest daily demon showcase video, and for today’s update, we have a closer look at Ifrit. Its last mainline appearance was in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
Some background information about Ifrit can be found below, courtesy of the Shin Megami Tensei Wiki:
Efreets (“strong one”) are considered a type of jinn that were typically portrayed as spirits of fire in Arabic mythology. The Efreet is the second most powerful form of jinn after the marid. It is written in the Qur’an that when King Solomon asked all the creatures who could bring back the throne of the queen of Sheba the fastest, an Efreet represented the jinn and boldly stated that he was best suited to the task. However, he was outperformed by means of a prayer.
In popular culture, Efreets (better known as Ifrits) are powerful spirits that embody fire. They generally consider themselves superior to all other races because of their age and deeply resent that humans have found a way to mystically control them. When summoned, they will do the bidding of their master but will often try to twist their wishes to do harm to others.
They are well known for their appearance in the book Arabian Nights.
