The animated adaptation of the sequel to Devil Survivor, Devil Survivor 2: The Animation follows Hibiki Kuze, an Ordinary High-School Student who gets thrust into a conflict between humans, demons, and Eldritch Abominations from the stars above.He is first introduced to Nicaea, a "dead face delivery site" (in beta) that can show users other people who will die in the immediate future via videos, by his friend Daichi Shijima. Later on, they go to the subway and look up the newest video from Nicaea.The video is a high quality depiction of a train crash in the same tunnel, with their videos depicting each other's deaths.In a rush, they attempt to leave the station, but fail. Fortunately, they are saved by Nicaea and are allowed another chance to live. They team up with Io Nitta, a fellow high school classmate, to help fight against the aliens known as the "Septentriones". They also meet others and make friends along the way, including those from the shady JP's.The Shin Megami Tensei wiki states that the manga writer (where the anime takes its storyline from) was Makoto Uezu.Note that the adaptation may contain some spoilers from the original game, so beware.

Cherry Tapping: JP's believes that they can slow down and potentially kill Merak by using a tank forward and four advance flanks consisting of thousands of JP's members against it with demons that primarily use Garu. The tank forward and the first forward gets killed by its spawn, while the rest gets killed by Circumpolarity. Note that in the games, you're not supposed to do this, since bosses in most Shin Megami Tensei games usually have high armor, and the games are made on the philosophy that you're supposed to hit hard and fast with extreme preparation.

Anyone Can Die
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: Just as it is possible to have happen in the game, Hibiki and company fail to prevent Keita's death face clip from happening. Ronaldo, Otome, AND Joe die fighting Megrez. Moreover, unlike Keita's death, none of these three were anywhere close to where they could have died in the game. Though since they can die, their deaths are still within expectations. What truly sets the anime for this trope is the battle against Benetsnatch where not only Jungo dies, but Airi, Hinako, and Fumi (three character who can't die in the game at all) as well! Meaning everyone is officially fair game. And now at the end of Episode 12, only Hibiki and Yamato remain alive. Fair game, indeed. Although not focused on too much until the closing scene of Episode 12, all of humanity and Earth has been consumed by the void. Yeah, so everyone on Earth died except Hibiki and Yamato.

comment
Darker and Edgier: The Septentriones are far more menacing and threatening, characters die by the boatload, often in realistically abrupt ways, and nearly all of the game's humorous moments are either deconstructed to be Played for Drama, or omitted entirely. In some cases its inverted concerning the Septentriones. Dubhe is no where near as strong as his game counterpart, and both Alioth and Mizar are taken out easily.

Adaptational Villainy: While he was an antagonist, Botis was portrayed as someone doing his job rather than one who just Kick the Dog For the Evulz like Bifrons. Here he butchers humans, kills Keita with Ziodyne, and abandons Fumi to die in the collapsing building. Yamato as well. The anime has been building him up as the main antagonist, rather than Polaris and the Septentriones.

Merak's Circumpolarity is stylized along a six-by-however long the stage was, and was essentially a big freaking laser. Don't underestimate the power of the move, as it can hit very hard. The adaptation has Circumpolarity having a charge-up time, a much more stylized animation, a freaking Ice Magic circle, and an after-effect of snow, the latter of which was not present in the game. On top of this, it killed three advance flanks.

Mythology Gag
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: "Meritocracy", briefly discussed in Episode 5, is actually an ending in the video game, and it's also labeled as such on This Very Wiki. The same goes for "Egalitarianism" in Episode 6. In Episode 6, Jungo and Joe face off. The orientation of the four characters (Yamato in front, Ronaldo in back, Daichi to the right, and Alcor to the left) mirror the four ending paths in the game proper. Daichi and Io sneaking onto the train inside boxes is a reference to an infamous scene in the game where Io plans to save Daichi the Solid Snake way. Airi teams up with Jungo and they attempt to perform (great) justice against Ronaldo's resistance in Nagoya while using cats, the former using Cait Sith.

Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!: Phecda is initially immune to all non-Almighty attacks before splitting into two of itself, but Ronaldo and the others attempt to go full force against it. Io joins in with Kikuri-hime, and Otome with Sarasvati, the latter using Drain, an Almighty skill. However, Phecda uses Dark Thunder, which completely annihilates all demons on the field. Everybody except Hibiki has to retreat since they don't any other demons left.

Evolving Credits: Dead characters are removed from the ending credits. By the end of the series there's a giant gap in between Hibiki and his classmates and Yamato. As of Episode 12, it's just Hibiki and Yamato after Makoto was stabbed by Alcor's tentacles, Alcor himself attempting to take Yamato out in a suicide attack, and both Io and Daichi are consumed by the void.

Adapted Out
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: The real Big Bad of the game, Polaris, never actually appears in the anime, thus meaning the Final Boss battle against it never occurs. This also means that, at the end of the story, Polaris gets away scot-free with everything, save for actually destroying the world, meaning technically, Polaris could return. Airi's father only appears in a brief flashback, and Airi only mentions him once. In the game, Airi's father is not only an important part of her backstory, but also the backstory of Ronaldo. He also is a recurring character with his own subplot in a series of optional events.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Most of the attempted attacks on Merak end quickly, with no survivors. Hibiki manages to kill it just before it destroys the tower. Alcor vs. Botis. Botis barely even has time to raise his knives before Alcor, with a single gesture, crushes him into nothingness. Benetnasch in Episode 11. In-game, he floats around and makes himself invulnerable from your party but doesn't do much before you figure out how to defeat him. In the anime, he wipes out Sapporo, Osaka and Nagoya in seconds despite the JP's barriers, and kills the game's ace in the hole, Trumpeter, in one hit. He would probably have ended the anime there and then if Yamato wasn't defending Tokyo with his magic circle, and if he kept his Pacify Human ability.

Deus ex Machina: It turns out Hibiki has the power of the Dragon Stream. It's also really convenient: it can defy death. Hibiki getting the other 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 hug. Even before that, Yamato has no explanation as to how he even survived the suicide attempt. The ending itself. Almost none of the characters changed and were barely developed to begin with. Yet the Triumphant ending still happens. It ultimately feels very shallow as a result.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_56723175
comment
Adaptation Induced Plothole: To achieve the Reset Golden Ending in-game, the player had to choose Daichi's path, aka the Neutral path, but stress wanting to have things go back to normal during discussions with the group across the game from that point onward or else the player would get a different ending. The anime has Hibiki do a blend of Ronald's path, and the Anguished One's path for most of the run time, but the ending is the Reset ending. This causes problems since not once did Hibiki stress wanting to reset the world like the player must in-game and instead seemed to almost be fine without it thanks to the flashbacks are shown to his time growing up beforehand, resulting in the ending just kind of happening without any reason for it to do so.

The summoners themselves don't contribute to the fight anymore, instead just running around behind their summoned creatures. Some of the demons suffer from this as well. Demons who took many hits to down in the game instead get slaughtered in one or two hits...which is technically Truth in Television when you have over-leveled monsters and what you should be doing in the games themselves.

Deconstruction: Most of the game's humorous moments get this treatment.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The official subs mistakenly translated Ja'aku Furosuto as Jack Frost. That demon's name is "Black Frost" in the English games to preserve the "Jack"-ja'aku/"evil" pun. As such, his Race was also mistakenly assumed to be Fairy instead, despite the voiced line literally saying it was Jaki. This error was also present in the dub.

The real Big Bad of the game, Polaris, never actually appears in the anime, thus meaning the Final Boss battle against it never occurs. This also means that, at the end of the story, Polaris gets away scot-free with everything, save for actually destroying the world, meaning technically, Polaris could return.

Family-Unfriendly Death
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_9afa05c7
comment
Family-Unfriendly Death: In the original game, only a few sprites got hit with the Septentrion's attacks. In this adaptation, there's a high body count. They also use their signature move from the games to kill an insane number of civilians, which was something that was not accurately portrayed in the games due to graphical limitations. Dubhe's introduction in the game consisted of him striking a few random civilians. His special skill is a spreader that kills an entire populace in one go as if a bomb went off. Merak's Circumpolarity is stylized along a six-by-however long the stage was, and was essentially a big freaking laser. Don't underestimate the power of the move, as it can hit very hard. The adaptation has Circumpolarity having a charge-up time, a much more stylized animation, a freaking Ice Magic circle, and an after-effect of snow, the latter of which was not present in the game. On top of this, it killed three advance flanks.

Foreshadowing
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: 64,399. It's underneath Hibiki's name in the Nicaea app. If that's Macca, that's impossibly high for the beginning. By episode 5, the number is at a much higher 537,830. A later episode shows it reacting to stress, making it something of an indicator for Hibiki's deteriorating mental condition. That 3.4 million in episode 6 becomes something of an Oh, Crap! moment in hindsight. For some reason, Alcor also calls Yamato "Shining One", a name that was reserved for the Protagonist. Episode 6 has him mentioning multiple "Shining Ones". Also, in episode 7, Joe comments on Airi's "cute bellybutton". Which becomes a major role in the 5th day in the game when Kama appears because of Airi's "cute bellybutton". In episode 8, "Brionac" is Lugh's Spear, and JP's needs a person to wield it. Io eventually does exactly that.

It Makes Sense in Context: "The world would just disappear." Not quite as straightforward as it sounds. Or perhaps to be more precise, more straightforward than it sounds. The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: The Void is a removal of absolutely everything. What makes this perplexing in Episode 8 when compared to the video game is that it is represented as if the screen itself is being erased.

Compressed Adaptation
 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_bdc94cd9
comment
Compressed Adaptation: Since it would be difficult to adapt every story option from the game into just 13 episodes, much of the storyline had to be streamlined or changed. Some of the changes include: In general, party members that you are introduced to and recruit throughout the game are already in play and actively working offscreen by the end of the first episode. Joe was one of the first party members to be met and recruited in the game on Day 1. He makes his first appearance in the anime only on Episode 5, on Day 3. His girlfriend has already passed on, when it should have been the last day. He also joined Ronaldo much earlier than in the game. Hinako is already a JP's member instead of convincing the party to let her join. Keita was killed in Episode 3, meaning any storylines involving him are gone. Other than an ex-detective, Ronaldo is also an ex-JP's member, and thus has knowledge of the Septentriones early on. The group finds out about the whole "Defeat the Septentriones, Rule the World" thing right after Phecda's defeat, instead of near the end of the week. Granted, just about everybody who would normally be in the party at that point (minus poor Keita) was present when this was revealed. Episode 7 compresses the majority of endgame spoilers into an entire string of them in the first half and The Stinger. Episode 8 sees Ronaldo and Otome get killed FAR before the point where their deaths would occur in the game. Joe dies with them instead of earlier in the day. The Anguished One revealing himself as a Septentrione is one of the last big reveals in the game. In the anime, he reveals this fact on Day 4. In Episode 9 The Pasupata destroys Ailoth instead of simply shooting it down, although its fragments crush Sapporo regardless.

Bystander Syndrome: The JP as a whole outright refuse to help others. Even worse, they become angry and defensive when people tell them that they are capable of helping other people. Not necessarily even asking them for help, just pointing it out. Sure, their actual mission is admirable and important, and the anime justifies it thus, but the prevailing opinion even within the anime is that they don't need to be asshats about it. This makes a scary amount of sense once you learn of Hotsuin's motivations and feelings on the weak.

What the Hell, Hero?: In episode 6, Hibiki calls out Yamato for using people as pawns for his own goals. Hibiki himself gets yelled at by Daichi earlier in the same episode for always going off on his own. 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 Io.

 Devil Survivor 2: The Animation / int_d500b978
comment
Adaptational Wimp: The summoners themselves don't contribute to the fight anymore, instead just running around behind their summoned creatures. Some of the demons suffer from this as well. Demons who took many hits to down in the game instead get slaughtered in one or two hits...which is technically Truth in Television when you have over-leveled monsters and what you should be doing in the games themselves. Daichi in game was a firm Cowardly Lion; he tended to get scared often, but he always fought regardless of the situation. The anime heavily downplays Daichi's abilities, making him a Joke Character for almost the entire series until the last few episodes.

Reset Button: The anime's ending, which is also the Triumphant ending. Small changes that show the difference include Hibiki having his hood already down at the beginning and his phone out before even meeting Daichi, being more optimistic during their talk, changes to Nicaea into a joke site, and even the sites page having minor differences and speaking to Io. The changes start getting much more different from there.

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: The Void is a removal of absolutely everything. What makes this perplexing in Episode 8 when compared to the video game is that it is represented as if the screen itself is being erased.

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Everyone save Hibiki, Yamato, and Alcor. The explanation for the other two is that they still most likely physically existed and Alcor is a Septentrione. The others being deleted before this explains why they don't remember.
