Nohman inside Auuman Anubis - Zone of the Enders 2: the Second Runner

This is an amazingly fun and cinematic fight to cap off an amazingly fun and cinematic game. Really, you could consider the "final" boss to be the battle right before it where you face off against Anubis at full power inside of an energy stream with a severely crippled Jehuty. But this battle, this battle is the battle where both runners have achieved the utter perfection of their already formidable orbital frames. This is the defining battle, where you know already that you've surpassed Nohman's skills, and where you get to pull out all of the stops and TAKE HIM DOWN.

I especially loved how (SPOILER)even at the end, Nohman is defiant and scornful. As Dingo screams at him for sacrificing his old unit and his friends, Nohman simply laughs and delivers one of the better villain lines.

"Those scum died so ungracefully! I wanted to see it with my own eyes!"

I also especially like how the game gives you control of Jehuty once more to deliver the final blow.
