Following the trend of A-Rank+ EX Skills, Rainbow Devil MKII has a trump card. When his health drops around the halfway mark, he practically turns into the Incredible Hulk. Raising his fists in the air, his slime body turns to solid carbon steel, acting as a huge coat of armor that blocks any and all attack. Rainbow Devil will stomp from one side of the room to the other, and weighing a couple tons, each step rattles the room, knocking chunks of the ceiling down on you as he passes. The crumbling panels tend to fall where you stand, and standing in place anyway is foolish. Small bits of debris alert you to the panels about to give way. Dash as much as possible to evade the rain of pain. Rainbow Devil loses all its mobility, and burns it power up using Nightmare Filter, so it's pretty easy to just wait for its effect to wear out, but then the fight will go back to its usual pandemonium. Full Sub Tanks help you avoid any potential failures.

Raising its fists in the air, its slime body turns to solid carbon steel, acting as a huge coat of armor that blocks any and all attack. Rainbow Devil will stomp from one side of the room to the other, and because the Rainbow Devil now weighs a couple ''tons,'' each step rattles the room severely, knocking chunks of the ceiling down on you as it trudges across the floor. The crumbling panels tend to fall where you stand, so you will need to keep moving away from the steady rain of ceiling fragments. Small bits of debris alert you to the panels about to give way. Dash as much as possible to evade the rain of pain. Rainbow Devil loses all its agility by becoming so heavy, and burns too much power up using Nightmare Filter to keep it activated permanently, so it's pretty easy to just wait for its effect to wear out, but then the fight will go back to its usual pandemonium. Full Sub Tanks help you avoid any potential failures.


Rainbow Devil MKII doesn't fight exceedingly cruel, different from future bosses, but he can give you a run for your money. In return, give this mutant ameoba a one-way trip to Junkville, where he belongs.

After his second beatdown, Rainbow Devil explodes and evaporates, gone for good.  
After it second beatdown, Rainbow Devil explodes and the remnants of its slime evaporate, gone for good.  


Suprisingly, Rainbow Devil MKII holds the final EX Skill of the game, the '''EX Skill [[File:MMZ2 Filter Shield Icon.png]] Filter Shield'''. This unique skill works on the Shield Boomerang. If a bullet comes near you and you activate the shield upon the moment of contact, you get instant E-Crystals in place! This is brilliant to use in front of enemies like the Pantheon Gunner that shoot multiple bullets, and it makes raising Cyber-Elves effortless. No wonder Neo Arcadia has such an ample supply: they were working on a special program just like Ciel did. It's a fitting end to a nice set of 10 EX Skills. Congratulations if you got them all! All that's left to collect from this point are Cyber-Elves. Bosses still exhibit EX Skills, but these are unnatural and can't be duplicated.
Surprisingly, Rainbow Devil MKII holds the final EX Skill of the game, the '''EX Skill [[File:MMZ2 Filter Shield Icon.png]] Filter Shield'''. This unique skill works on the Shield Boomerang. If a bullet comes near you and you activate the shield upon the moment of contact, the plasma energy of the bullet is filtered and processed into usable energy. As a result, you get instant E-Crystals in place of bullets! This is brilliant to use in front of enemies like the Pantheon Gunner that shoot multiple bullets, and it makes raising Cyber-Elves effortless. No wonder Neo Arcadia has such an ample supply of energy: they were working on a special program to create it just like Ciel is. It's a fitting end to a nice set of 10 EX Skills. Congratulations if you got them all! All that's left to collect from this point in the game are Cyber-Elves. Bosses still exhibit EX Skills, but the skills are so grandiose, they can't be duplicated, since Zero is physically incapable of manifesting weaponry on such a grand scale.
