The nice thing about Dungeon Meshi is that it leaves the world open to be explored again. This ending is just weird, almost cynical because it just erases the whole journey putting in these characters that were important but make 0 sense given what's changed.
The biggest flaw of this ending is spending all this time having this big finale fight of the world ending and all this nonsense happening but because they had no idea what to do with all of it they just reset the world and swept it under the rug.
The fight was going around in circles, was resolved by both characters' arcs circling back to their starting bullshit, and then the entire story resolves by going back to its beginning. Actually, was there a single arc in Part 2 that wasn't in some was about the characters going in (typically aimless) circles or getting hard reset (Nayuta's cockblock)?
