Actually life changing ending. This episode is actually peak fiction. We (finally) throw hands with Shem-ha and deal with the aftermath. Hibiki's dad might be a lot of negative things depending on the viewer, but he was definitely right with a blessing and a curse being different sides of the same coin. The episode has some crazy fan service by showing us people from the previous season (including the real hero Dr Ver), which is truly a show of affection for everyone who has watched until the end.
