I never noticed that Mara had extremely detailed balls inside the chariot
I did. 😅
“What does the demon look like?!”
“Sir, it looks like a giant-“
“JOHNSON!!”
I actually highly considered using clips from that movie in this episode anytime I discussed what Mara looked like, but it ended up making the episode needlessly long and hard...err...confusing. But still, I probably coulda kept one XD
@@strain42 fair enough, not everyone likes long videos. It’s not about the size of the video, it’s how you use it.
I'll never forget the first time I encountered Mara in a Persona game. It was towards the end of the final dungeon of vanilla Persona 5. Not only was I thrust into battle against a giant penis monster, but at one point, he got hit with a status ailment, slumped over, and said: "Are you my grandkid?" I wasn't sure whether to be disgusted or bursting into hysterical laughter.
We are all throbing with excitement for this episode. Ready to explode with hype and relase our joy that you are finally covering this demon
I love it how it's #69 in the series and you're talking about Mara
Thanks for including me in this project. I now know more about Mara's green goo than I ever wanted to know-
The NA release of Strange Journey Redux DLC also had one of the ATLUS USA members post a demon password on the subreddit "thanks r/megaten" that would give a level 88 Mara, yeah that was perfect
I remember when I was playing Apocalypse I was trying to fuse Matador with phys passive skills and null ice but in the middle of all of that I got Mara through a fusion accident. I was going to just reload my save and redo the whole thing again but the thing is, he got the phys passive skills and null ice and he originally has Hell Thrust which is a really great phys move and I was tempted to keep him in the party instead of getting Matador. I kept a save file to compare them to see who's better but Mr. Red Capote was the winner. That was the first time I encountered the dude in the series.
Good work by the way I really like your videos and you've became one of my favorite content creators lately. And also, I hope that Chu Chulainn will get an episode he's one of my favorite demons in the series.
So instead of getting Mr. Bones himself you got... a boner?
Mara being in tower isn't just because dick, The Tower arcana is suppose to be devastation that brings insight. Which loosely ties into Mara attempting to be a force of devastation that serviced as part of Buddha's enlightenment.
Just as well, Chariot arcana is about impulse control though focus, Reversed being a lack of focus and impulsiveness off. Mara being a pretty much the embodiment of that. So, might tie into his design to even if he got put in tower for both a dick joke and his role in the stories around buddha.
The Eechi Demon himself in all his LONG and HARD glory. Also Edit I gotta admit your Video on this Iconic nay Infamous demon was pretty informative not just on the Real life Mara but on his design now granted I knew his very Phallic design in addition to his chariot with it's large back wheel's which are Cleary made to evoke testes is tied into his nature as an embodiment of lust and temptation but I never knew it was a cheeky visual pun on Kaneko's part. Also if you cover Arioch please lay of the corny genital puns but I have to be honest Atlus really seems to love making fun of the fact he is a big ol' measuring stick as his Dx2 entry demonstrates.
nice 👀
look at the girth of that thing
It good to know my lord and savior is finally getting it time to shine
Excellent work! You touched on every inch of Mara's long history with the franchise; Here's to another 25 years with the green groin king.
The time has come to speak of the emerald emissary themself. I was not expecting to see so many people in this video, but it was a delight to hear each segment. Solid work to you and your comrades.
This a great episode and glad you have so many to collab with. This was awesome!!!!
its finally here…
Already?? And the last episode was about Lakshmi... It's clear as day that Mara decided to tower above everyone else after seeing Lakshmi... And I see myself out. Goddamnit, Mara.
this is gonna be a good one
Hey that one girl who read the part about IMAGINE sounded pretty cute :) Great video like always.
What is this ambitious crossover
Its ok that you didnt wanna come too early with this episode.
I hope you do Manananggal someday. I don’t know if know much about Filipino culture but I hope you do her someday.
She's one of my favorite demons from V and I would LOVE to do an episode on her one day. However, I'd also like to wait until she has a few more roles and appearances to work with, so it may be a couple years.
@@strain42 understandable. I hope she makes it into SoulHackers2 😁.
Thanks for having me be a part of this project!
Another grand episode, it is great to see you and other channels expand and get together, weither planned or pure chance it's quite the show to not only be ep. 69 but on February, that's something to stand proud of, have a good month
That was a quite long beep. Is there anything you wanna explain, John? XD
Best episode ever
Okay, you HAE to do Arioch next.
Well, is like we use to say here in my country "o futuro é pica!"
As A Brazilian yes
This is... NICE
I didn't realize you were still in Dx2! We really should trade friend codes sometime, if you wish.
Mara should replace Jack Frost as the official Megaten mascot tbh
They knew what they were doing by making the "tear-hole" in P5S appear right by its head
This was a nice episode
Mortifing your mother :O WHAT!?
Great episode
I hope you do one on Gabriel soon
I've always been a bit lost on the mythology of kaiwan so if it would be really cool if you could explain that weird star god
Hard bringer indeed!!!
Maruo! Maruo! Maru-Maru-Maruo!
4:32... Same as you; Risky Boots
This episode being #69 is the absolute best lol
An event literally years in the making!
Is this episode 69?
it actually is
@@k2a2l2 awesome
How hard and fast will youtube demonitize this video btw?
ayo i'm in this 😳
Welp... good to mention that in my language, "Mara" is a word for "Apparition" or a female wraith. Usually in reference to the "Night mares", as in spirits that torment you at night.
Your timing on this is hilarious because I'm actually working on an episode right now where I actually talk about EXACTLY that.
@@strain42 Oh, you want me to talk about something here? I'm educated in folklore in case you need it
i can wait for mara smtv vengeance also smt3 nocturne just sad cannot fuse him just only boss
PINGAS
But in all seriousness, I usually tend to put Mara on my endgame rosters in Persona because as gross as he is he’s also really strong (and it’s funny to imagine your team members’ reactions to him)
I'm pretty sure Mara has mortified a lot of mothers.
I’m surprised this demon didn’t appear today on Valentine’s Day
Oh, it did, while you were sleeping.
Your pronunciation of Siddhartha Gautama was pretty close. The "au" in Gautama is pronounced the same way as the "ow" in Cow.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Soon
Was it planed that mara is number 69 in this video series?
I think I would have gotten the idea without some of the ... details of the model
Ofcourse, it had to be the 69th episode.
You have done Mara. So what about doing Beelzebub at som point.
I knew this would happen.
Howdy

Demonic Addendums:
Soul Hackers 2: Just wanna point out here that You need to pay to get Mara in SH2. He's DLC. Which is disgusting. That's not fun at all.
Persona 5 the Phantom X: Mara has a, quite honestly, hilarious censor in this game. They just gave him this conical hat. That's all. Just give your Giant Throbber a hat to protect him from the sun and rain, why don't ya.
In vengeance Mara appears as a part of the quest Devotion to Order in which Armaiti tells you to vanquish this Towering temper after defeating him Yoko and Tao have a debate over humanly desires.
Mara best SMT mascot 😏
Gotta mirror another commenter, now you gotta do Arioch.
First
😭😭 mara is boss
Gonna be honest, this video made me very uncomfortable...
