ALBION'S BUNREI:

Learn about Albion's four Bunrei, the Zoas, in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster, inspired by William Blake's poem The Four Zoas.

The Zoas are the four Bunrei (spirits) of Albion in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster. They are the brainchildren of the poet William Blake, as described in his poem "The Four Zoas." The Zoas have biblical origins, appearing in the book of Ezekiel as the creatures that pull YHVH's chariot. They also appear in the Book of Revelations, where Christianity reinterpreted them as the four Seraphim: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. Blake, however, had a different interpretation, viewing the four Zoas as distinct aspects of a primordial, giant man named Albion, who represented universal humanity before his fall from grace, akin to the Garden of Eden myth.

It is important to note that the Albion from Blake's poem has no connection to the god Albion described in the Akuma Zensho, aside from the shared name. There is also another Albion from Greek mythology, indicating the name's popularity.
