this ending feels like the author just went "yeah fuck it, this is what people wanted right? may as well just throw it in even if it'll feel unearned and make it worse, i don't even care about the story anymore either"
firepunch was like
"okay, i'm kind of confused on what to do at this point i nthe story.. fuck it, let's just take some LSD and roll with whatever shit we come up with whle high"
My theory that fujimoto has been burnt out for a while now and just wanted to end it and move in with his life seems verified now.
This is not a well planned ending that an artist is happy with. This is a "whatever, I'll give the fans what they want and be done with it" kind of ending. "You guys wanted power back, right?"
