I'm surprised how perfectly it ended up syncing up with Tandava when I wasn't even going for it.

[Silver-Kaitou]

Nahobino and allies: *Fighting for their lives*

Shiva: *Vibin'*

[the_og_alpha]

Shiva: "This, is a severe almighty spell"
Nahobino: "Dear God"
Shiva: "There's More"
Nahobino: "No!"

This theme is almost as hard as the preta that always kills me in the beginning of Nocturne

[OneBeastSOUL]

You either rise or fall to this music. Well done Shiva.

[hazamaunlimited]

It’s not the same without the dread that sets in when it goes from a 4v1 to a 1v3

[literallyjustants]

Honestly this boosted Shiva to top of my favourite demons

[IamJerf]

This theme slaps harder than me actually fighting Shiva on Hard mode. And he slapped me hard too many times

[RedDrake]

SMT 5 perfectly portrays the sheer terror (and reverence) that Shiva invokes in Indian mythology.

He is considered the perfect father figure and husband (his wife Parvati as the perfect wife)... But you dare to piss him off...
He isn't called the destroyer for nothing

[dream]

I love how calm yet intense this music feels

The chants in the beginning vaguely sound like "Om Namah Shivah!!", which in Sanskrit means "Hail Shiva, Lord Of All!." It was said that in beginning, when all the planets were not able to move, and to set things into motion, he just asked Vishnu and Brahma to blow their conch shells and he danced to their tunes, which resulted in massive spatial quakes from movement of his feet. When cycle of 72 four yugas (ages) : Satya (age of truth), , Dvapar (3/4 truth), Treta (1/2 truth), Kali (darkness) is completed, and the lesser elemental gods and demon kings die, Vishnu and Brahma blow their conches again and Shiva performs a dance of destruction called Tandava, which again causes massive spatial quakes causing everything to collapse. Brahma then recycles the remnants of the old universe into a new universe and Vishnu adds the finishing touches, Shiva creates new elemental gods and demon kings to maintain the universe. Parallel universes are a thing in Hinduism, when Brahma commits a grave sin when he was drunk on his power as the True Creator God, Shiva and Vishnu, summoned million Brahmas from "another worlds" to show his insignificance despite being the True Creator God.

Calm but heavy and terrified. I love this theme

[Speculector]

this battle hits differently after learning about them in Hindu lore.

Shiva is the god of destruction

Parvati is his wife

Kali is his wifes enraged form

Ganesha is his son

Dakini are female servants of Kali

Anata is a celestial serpent that the god of preservation aka Vishnu reclines on

[Darksaviour]

The real terror isn’t Tandava… it’s Ananta fully healing him after you use everything to get his health in red

[TheBestDoorSkeelz]

THE LORD OF DANCE GOT ME GROOVIN'

[nocturnGER]

Shiva: *dances to some sick beats, nukes you, than summon his wife and son to dance to your demise

[exbelion]

This theme hits harder than Minotaur's critical strikes in the fourth game

[SuperFusionAJ]

Dashie: WHO DA FUCK WAS IN THE STUDIO DOING THIS?!

[_-A.]

Everyone: **withstood the attack**

The cat: damn this shit bops **vibes**

[Scantronacon]

Bowl of Hygieia + Golden Apple = Idun best girl.
