And don't forget him using his special weapons against you during the fight. The tags, the whip, and the mask. That kind of rubbed salt on the wound of having to fight a friend. Nothing hurts more than seeing your own friend attack you with the skills they once used to protect you.

The final battle against possessed Zangetsu is full of references to the final battles against Count Dracula in the Castlevania series, godamm, IS TECHNICALLY A DIRECT REFERENCE TO THOSE BATTLES, specially the concept of being Miriam the only character that you can use in battle, Alfred and Gebel help you but controlled by the CPU. The point of this is that Zangetsu reminds a lot to Dracula, meanwhile Miriam with her whip reminds to the Belmont clan.

it was supposed to mean we are descending into depths of hell, since zangetsu is from east/japan i assume the entire stage was designed of some sort of hell from japanese folklore. during solo stages, before we are facing the boss/guardian, notice there was a torii/shrine gate and a name board, if only i know kanji i would know each of their meaning also the throne chair that zangetsu was sitting there seems to be 3 kanji but idk what that means also

I loved this fight The atmosphere, tension and music mixed into an amazing boss fight I do find it a bit of a pity that you can only have the ending where his soul goes to the future after being defeated I would have loved it if it were possible to get a different ending by having a different quota If you knew what you were doing then 1 minute would be it which is a real pity If it was possible to get a longer fight (idea is that after Alfred did the lightning attack and it seemed like the fight was over that the soul would be free but his body becomes the Demon that you see when he kills you and then the second part begins where you defeat the whole source of darkness or something like that)
