# Muito Real Muito Real is a Portuguese catchphrase meaning "So Real" or "Very Real" that Shin Megami Tensei fans yell to express over-the-top hype. It was popularized by the @SMTPortugal Twitter account and exploded in June 2021 around the Mothman reveal for Shin Megami Tensei V. ## Overview Muito Real is a Portuguese catchphrase, literally "So Real" or "Very Real" (translated from Portuguese), used by Shin Megami Tensei fans as an exaggerated shout of excitement[1]. The phrase is tied closely to Mothman, the armless half-man half-moth demon with a stunned face revealed for Shin Megami Tensei V in June 2021[3]. The joke was popularized by @SMTPortugal, a Portuguese fan page for the Atlus RPG series, and spread through replies, quote tweets, and reaction images inside the SMT fandom[1]. Some fans now use "muito real" as an alternate name for Mothman himself, even though that was not what the phrase originally meant[3]. ## How It Spread On June 16, 2021, Atlus teased a Mothman silhouette at a Shin Megami Tensei V conference, and @SMTPortugal replied with "MUITO REAL AAAAAAAAAA," pulling in more than 1,000 likes over the next two weeks[1]. When @megaten_atlus posted on June 29, 2021 that a new demon would be unveiled the next day using the same silhouette, the tweet's replies filled with SMT fans shouting "muito real" in anticipation[2]. Atlus dropped the official Mothman reveal trailer on June 30, 2021, and by that point the phrase was already all over the reply section of every SMT-related post[3]. A meme by @SMTPortugal riffing on its own popularity that day pulled in over 1,300 likes and 200 retweets within a day[1]. Within days the catchphrase jumped past Portuguese Twitter. French SMT fan account @SMTSAVOUE [4] posted a video showing how completely SMTPortugal had taken over Atlus's announcement replies, picking up more than 300 likes in a day. Other localized SMT fan pages started asking what "muito real" meant and adopting it themselves. ## How to Use Fans typically reply "muito real," often stretched out as "MUITO REAL AAAAAAAAAA," to any Shin Megami Tensei news, Mothman sighting, or general SMT hype moment[3]. It works as unfiltered excitement rather than commentary on the news itself, and is sometimes used as a stand-in name for Mothman[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Muito Real?
