We were stunned by Arashi's betrayal. Now that the story isn't following canon, it's best to analyze the ending of this anime independently and see if it at least provides a decent conclusion. The truth is, the drop in script quality is noticeable. For starters, Sorata takes far too long to understand Arashi's intentions, even though he's usually the one who figures things out. Fuuma's plans shouldn't be so direct and clumsy as simply telling a henchman to "kill Kamui," since we all know he wants a face-to-face confrontation. Also, Fuuma has the ability to read people's hearts, so catching him off guard shouldn't be possible. It's frustrating when he seems to know everything, so it feels strange that this episode doesn't respect that. If I have one positive thing to say, it's that the visual quality has remained consistent; the animations and backgrounds look as polished as ever. The weight of fulfilling the prophecies still hurts, even though they don't have the same level of preparation as before. But everything definitely feels very rushed.
