Oh NOS!! It appears Atlus USA’s shipment of collectible Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon Raiho plushies was hijacked by vicious sea pirates! This leaked proof of life video is all the evidence you need to understand how serious these plush-napping swashbucklers are.
Unfortunately, that footage is probably the last time you’ll ever see a Raiho plushie alive because Atlus has a strict policy against negotiating with sea pirates:
“Today is a somber day for Atlus,” began Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus. “Nearly 4.6 tons of Raiho, our ultra-collectible bonus for Devil Summoner 2, have been plush-napped. The pirates responsible have made a list of demands and offered numerous overt threats as to the safety of the Raihos. While it pains us gravely, and it no doubt disappoints the fans, we remain strong in our resolve and maintain our corporate policy: Atlus does not negotiate with sea pirates. Let us think of the plushies as they were… cute, stuffed, and delightful.”
