Devil Summoner 2 - ep05

It seem with everything that has been happening they decide to slow thing down. The first major point that is focused on is the drawing of the battle line. It seems like the next fight is going to take place at Nagoya, to this end is part of the reason that the resistance has taken over JP's base a Nagoya. While this going, there are several different groups that are closing in on the resistance. First is that of Daichi and Nitta wanting to rejoin Hibiki after he left JP's to side with Ronaldo. That in fact they never really side with JP's they just want to be with Hibiki, that if this is where he feels he should be then this is where they want to be too. There is also the fact that they need to warn Hibiki. Another group this is closing is that Jungo and Airi are a group of summoners that are working for JP's but are questioning their loyalty to them with what has happen in the last battle, so they want to see what the resistance stands for to decide who they should side with. Lastly you have JP's itself that is trying to take back their base at Nagoya.

Then with all the tension building there is another point that is touch on and that is the nature of Yamato. It seems that Yamato knew that all of this was going to happen and he is merely using the government and the situation to make himself king of the world. That when Ronaldo found out the truth of what Yamato was aiming for he tried to have him killed. That Ronaldo wants a world where everyone is equal, and to do that he needs to prevent Yamato from getting famous by defeating the Septentrion. There is another issue behind this is to unnecessary loss of life, Ronaldo intends to defeat the Septentrion without letting anyone die, like with what happen in the last battle. Now with all this reverence it seem to point to the fact that Yamato is the black king and Ronaldo seeks to be the white king. The question is are to people any better off following Ronaldo than Yamato, although it does appear that he care for the people does this necessary make him any more trust worthy. It might just be that he is seeking to become king of the world just like Yamato but he is just better at hiding his intentions. It a little early to tell if Ronaldo has a hidden agenda like Yamato, and if he does what will Hibiki do because it seem like everyone just want to use him.
