Sain's FINAL BOW is still good though and fitting! Sucks this beating he got had FOUL REASONINGS! Namely NONE OF THE DEMONS ARE SUPPOSE TO KILL SAIN! Notice how SOMEWHAT easy it was for Sain to escape the OTHER Demon General as well, Sacrificing the Fighter Girl was pointless and just meant to be CRUEL! Of course like that incident! Toru had to RUIN EVERYTHING for the Demon Lord because the point of that AND THIS was to destroy HOPE in the Hero! Boy will the Demon Lord be MAD about Toru ruining THIS MOMENT (Or that Toru is still active and the one SABOTAGING this plan and the OTHER event that was meant to bring humanity DESPAIR! Then again it is the Demon Lord's fault for ASSUMING what happened in Chapter 1 would be the end of Toru! His big LEVEL BOOST and unlock made Toru the SPANNER IN THE WORKS to the Demon Lord's endgoal)
Sain was meant to live because if he was meant to die....the demon lord would have killed Sain all those years ago, around when Sain moved to Toru's village and "became his friend" I say without being too sarcastic! Demon Lord just didn't want to have to seek out the NEXT holder of the Hero Title majorly....the other reason is "For the EVULZ" corrupting him and having him DISGRACE the title of the Hero! HE truly was the "Poorly chosen" but then again the Hero title isn't very SPECIAL beyond being something the Demon Lord has to fear! It RELIES on you BEING A TRUE HERO! That means you HAVE to be Strong in order to utilize it's true purpose, otherwise the Demon Lord will smash you! You know the Heroes Journey, if they can't defeat this major threat, then they had no HOPE of matching the demon lord anyway! It's why "Toru" fits the bill better (It's like how Link in Wind Waker doesn't start out reincarnated with the Triforce of Courage like Zelda with the Triforce of Wisdom and has to PROVE his worthiness by finding it! At best his Triforce is more a BADGE showing his worthiness as a Hero then giving any power ups like Wisdom and Power do! But looking at what Link gathers up from all the dungeons by the end of his Journey's, "He don't need nothing more" LOL!)
Sain had a GOOD START UP, but he let his vices control him that eventually he STALLED, to be fair the Demon Lord interfered, but then that's still largely on SAIN for his weakness and squandering his potential/ It's why compared to well EVERYONE, the Generals Toru and his party, the Noble Girl, and even the DEMON LORD THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY THE LATTER! Sain is a Walking JOKE.....and that is the main point by the Demon Lord's design LOL But as said, Toru was a miscalculation to the plan and the Demon Lord, will be MOST displeased once she catches her own surprise as well to Toru dynamic entrance.....and Toru giving her a "quick shower of holy water" to COMPLETE the cherry on top of the RUINATION of EVERYTHING for the Demons LOL
