History Anime / DevilSurvivor2

*** [[spoiler: The nature of the series implies that more cycles passed before the Triumphant ending took place, which would make the anime a prequel for the videogame. Though you wouldn't know it unless you played the videogame itself. ]]

** [[spoiler: Hibiki getting the others demons sent to him ''with no explanation of this being possible previously''. Even when they've all been deleted from existence and there's nothing left. He then fused them all to make Lucifer, who defeats Satan with a [[FlatWhat hug]].]]

** Makoto, Fumi, and Yamato get called out by everyone else for making tough decisions to preserve the human race. Except everyone is catching on the fact that JP's are only preserving the competent elite, meaning they have the audacity to pretend they're serving the greater good while sacrificing people for their own agenda. Yamato isn't making a big secret out of it, and Fumi is being her typical trollish self, but Makoto staunchly sticks by the company line of having good intentions and bears the brunt of their attempts to convince them to save [[spoiler: Nitta]].

* TookaLevelInBadass: Daichi in episode 11 when he summons his first strong demon [[spoiler:Black Frost, who is in fact said to be the strongest demon the heroes have ever had access to,]] and gets his own serious fight scene.

** [[spoiler:Subverted with Episode 10. Everything is set up to look like Nitta will die...and then it seems like she does, but comes back to life. Of course, considering the tone of the show, this may as well be a WhamEpisode just since it has a happy ending.]]

** [[spoiler:Episode 12: Alcor, Nitta, Daichi and Makoto all die. The void consumes the world, and Hibiki and Yamato are the last of humanity, preparing to fight in Heaven.]]

* MoodWhiplash: Very apparent with the intersplicing of death clips and breathers. Especially bad in episode 11, where Io, Daichi, Airi, Jungo, and Hinako share a heartwarming moment and exchange email addresses...[[spoiler:only for them to all immediately receive dead face clips of each other]].

** Yamato also suffers from this, as his [[spoiler:plans for the remaking of the world, ruled by ability and power,]]is treated as something Hibiki must prevent, while in the game, it is an ending just like any other, with good and bad points to it that are discussed by the characters. [[spoiler:This is even more pronounced when Ronaldo dies]]. He is also far more cruel and ruthless, treating everyone as a tool when the protagonist instantly earned his respect the moment he defeated Dubhe in the game, here he treats Hibiki as a pawn and is more than willing to let the people he considers "friends" [[spoiler:to die in the end]] if it means he'll reach his goal. On top of treating his men in a WeHaveReserves type of way, which is something the game version never did.

* BigBad:[[spoiler:Polaris is more of a BiggerBad, although Polaris and the Septentriones set the overall plot in motion. In terms of an antagonist who actively plots against the heroes and the heroes fight this person, Yamato. Ironically, Yamato is a BigGood as well, since he and his group are keeping Japan together through the Apocalypse...but Yamato plans to remake the world into an extreme Meritocracy where the weak die, and the strong live.]]

* TookaLevelinBadass: Daichi in episode 11 when he summons his first strong demon [[spoiler:Black Frost, who is in fact said to be the strongest demon the heroes have ever had access to,]] and gets his own serious fight scene.

* LargeHam: [[spoiler: Jack Frost, a giant...lawn gnome thing...made all the more awesome for being the most powerful demon the heroes have personally summoned, as well as being summoned by ''Daichi'' of all people.]] "'''HEEEEE'''...ho."

** Yamato also suffers from this, as his [[spoiler:plans for the remaking of the world, ruled by ability and power,]]is treated as something Hibiki must prevent, while in the game, it is an ending just like any other, with good and bad points to it that are discussed by the characters. [[spoiler:This is even more pronounced when Ronaldo dies]].

** [[spoiler: What truly sets the anime for this trope is the battle against Benetsnatch where not only does Jungo die but ''Airi, Hinako, and Fumi'' (the game's default route characters that won't die at all) as well! Meaning everyone is officially fair game.]]

* EvolvingCredits: Dead characters are removed from the ending credits. [[spoiler:By the end of the series there's a giant gap in between Hibiki and his classmates and Yamato.]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:After Benetnasch spots Fumi disrupting its Healing skill, it annihilates her demon and kills her, though she does nothing to complain and wishes Makoto good luck with the rest before being vaporized.]]

* InconsistentDub: The official subs show several cases of this; for example, Hibiki's first demon is Byakko (in the games it goes by its Chinese name, Baihu), and Joe's nickname for Ronaldo is Kurikki (Romanized to "Clicky" in the game).

* LostInTranslation: [[spoiler: Black Frost's name Ja'aku Frost, which is a pun on evil/wicked and Jack and got translated as Jack Frost in the subs.]]

* MoodWhiplash: Very apparent with the intersplicing of death clips and breathers.

* TookaLevelinBadass: Daichi in episode 11 when he summons his first strong demon [[spoiler:Black Frost]] and gets his own serious fight scene.

* EvolvingCredits: [[spoiler:Keita is removed from the ending credits following his death in episode 3. As are Ronaldo, Otome, and Joe after Episode 8. Hinako, Airi, Jungo and Fumi take their leave after Episode 11.]]
