Toubyou - Blog Posts

HI HElLo!!! Sorry for the bother but I’ve been kinda going in circles trying to find more info on Toubyou!! It seems that whenever I look em up, I just find the SMT renders. Is this a case of like, a mistranslation or something else? HES LIKE. Such a Funny Little Guy and my mind craves more info on him.

(They do kinda remind me of those Snake Wine bootles. If only a little) Thank you for your time tho!!!!!!

Let me detail my process for situations like this when I want to find more info on obscure demons:

1 Toubyou is a Japanese demon, so it's likely "real"

2 I search using its name as rendered in the Japanese version of the games: トウビョウ, with the intention of finding how the name is rendered in Kanji (to search again for more info, if necessary)

3 The top two results are its Japanese Wikipedia page and Pixiv wiki (these Pixiv wikis often have reliable information, at least for Japanese stuff) The Wikipedia page offers a Kanji name: 土瓶.

4 Next I'll run what I find through a translator

5 Lastly, I'll compare the new info to an officially translated in-game profile to see if it's in the ballpark/ the original Atlus intention for the demon:

6 The bit about the golden ring around the neck is consistent between sources, so this seems to be what you're looking for

The Wikipedia page has more sources to look through that should lead you down an even deeper Toubyou rabbit hole.
