So as it turns out, Algol is bound to the Astral Chaos where he was sealed when Soul Calibur was created, ok.
However, it would seem that Algol is bound to the Astral Chaos. What we know is Algol brought out his Tower in Soul Calibur 4, hence how Mitsurugi fought him. However, around the time Siegfried destroyed Soul Edge, Algol was sucked back into the Astral Chaos.
The problem is when you look at the Tower of Remembrance in SCIV, there's two versions of the top of it: Degradation, which is in the Astral Chaos, which makes sense from what we know of the canonical events of SC4.
But the interesting one is Encounter, where the top of the tower isn't in the Astral Chaos. If the only way Algol could interact with the real world was via Nightmare's crack, how could the tower somehow be outside of the Astral Chaos, while Algol isn't?
Here's how I look at it: In the individual Story Modes, Nightmare does indeed open the gates to the Astral Chaos. However, depending on who's story you play as, Nightmare notices Algol, and shuts the gate immediately, keeping Algol trapped, but the building remains.
Thoughts?
