Devil Summoner 2 - ep12

Now the final battle has began, it seems that Alcor's reason for fighting is because Hibiki allowed him to become what he always longed to be. That through Hibiki's kindness he became human because he is the first person to treat him as a human being and through him free Alcor of his anguish. That for everything Hibiki's done for him, he simply can't allow for Yamato to kill Hibiki even if that means that he must kill his first friend. Although it seem they are evenly matched or it is possible that dispite Alcor's wish he really doesn't wish for Yamato to die as well. The status quo changes once Makoto gets involved, that if she didn't get involved Alcor could of killed Yamato when he was vulnerable. However because Alcor had to deal with Makato it gave Yamato the time he need to be able to summon two new demons which quick turn to tides of battle in Yamato's favor.

Now with Alcor's defeat, it seems that he is lamenting on what he did to Yamato and his family. That he is the one that ultimately set him down this path because he felt it was what was need for humanity to survive. It seems that now he wish that he did things different, so that Yamato wouldn't have turned out the way he did. Although even though he is regretful it still doesn't change the fact that he has place all his hope with Hibiki, so towards this end he sacrifice himself in an attempt to take Yamato with him so that Hibiki has a chance to guide the future in the right direction. In the end he fails to kill Yamato, even-though he is serverly weakened. This is when he makes his escape for the portal that will lead to Polaris but not before sacrificing his demons to prevent Hibiki from following. However things don't go as plan when Io and Daichi stay behind so that Hibiki can go after Yamato. Things end with Yamato and Hibiki waiting for Polaris being the last two humans but it seems that won't happen until there is only one left standing, so to make things right the Hibiki must win. Now with this the stage is set for the true final battle but will the winner also have to fight Polaris to get the future that the desire.
