Asuta is extraordinarily cool. I'm worried about Sharuami though. :ohdear:

Although I trust that Helck and Anne will save all the humans, I hope it's Asuta who saves Sharuami.

There is a cliche in anime where the prototype of something is better than mass produced models. Where in the real world prototypes usualy are worse or the same.

Usually the same or better, honestly. Going from prototype to production usually involves in seeing what corners you can safely cut and lowering costs and difficulties in production, rather than improving your product.

That's how I thought it worked! The prototype is extremely good and powerful and then the mass-produced versions aren't because- Holy poo poo, we can't afford to spend six billion dollars outfitting every single member of our entire military with these things-

Again, it entirely depends on the industry you're in / what the prototype is. They can also be bigger, clunkier, harder to fix due to custom parts, and generally lacking the updates of production models that could improve performance or functionality, etc.

E: Is a prototype (alpha version) of a game better than the released version? Not usually.

It's too suspicious to know someone's name from the start! You have to play along a little!

nah, it was mostly mikaros bragging about his invincible master plan that relied on the demons being stupid and weak. surprise, they weren't stupid or weak. also for some reason both rafaed and mikaros underestimate vamirio every chance they get, which is very silly of mikaros because he knows she is azudora's peer and equal. he spent hundreds of years terrified of azudora, and even when he won mikaros still wasn't able to finish azudora off. at least rafaed had the excuse of not knowing who she was.
