Actually felt that song was a bit weaker than DDS1's. DDS1's just sounds like a showdown, like a duel perhaps, almost like a western at parts.

DDS2 Spoiler
Hahaaaa, I'd never even realised that Big Battle in DDS2 is a remix of the DDS1 Big Battle. I thought the naming was just a coincidence! I like Epic Battle because of the chorus.
It is astoundingly good.
Also, I'm watching Persona Music Live 2012 again, and I have a few thoughts:
1) The production quality is bonkers. The bit where they have the new anime scenes, and it flashes through Inaba, and shows Ai, Kou and Daisuke in Aiya, and the culprit sat in jail, is amazing.
2) Shihoko Hirata got so much better at singing between 2010 and 2012. Lots of practice, maybe? I dunno.
3) Completely can't tell how old Hirata is. Literally, can't even ballpark it, and the schoolgirl outfit isn't making things easier.
4) As someone who has only been to metal gigs, the crowd looks so non-aggressive. I like that. Metal crowds are
angry.
