It was shit.
My god, you got played like a fucking fiddle to get worked this hard by shitty writing.

I can with ease. Nothing was tear jerking because the whole "people in the future wouldn't exist if Aku was killed in the past" was something we noticed BACK WHEN THE ORIGINAL SHOW AIRED. So we spent our time wondering how Genndy would manage to pull off a good ending avoiding that, and silently hoping he COULD avoid that.

Turns out he couldn't.

>>92569050
what did he see in that ladybug?

Fuck Ashi and fuck season 5.

Ashi never told Jack what ladybug's meant to her.
All I wanted was some sort of payoff to King Jack.

>what the fuck did you expect??

I was going to reply by saying "good writing," but you actually have a point. What DID I expect? I, like many other people, have said the first few episodes were good, but in retrospect I can't say that anymore considering what was revealed. The season's premise was based around Jack doing virtually nothing for 50 years, leaving a magic sword down a hole for no good reason, not giving credence to the allies he made in the future, somehow killing someone for the first time in his entire career as a samurai, and romancing one the monkey-faced sibling of the people he killed.

Halfway through, I really shouldn't have expected better.

>>92569728
yeah I'm so sad those people will live normal lives now and not fucking miserable ones

>>92570222
yes, the spartan king is on his deathbed telling a tale of jack but thats irrelevant now cus...

the future was eradicated from existence, and the spartans have no way of knowing of jack or the 300's sacrifice in the past


and on a 'reading inbetween the lines' level, 'theories' at this rate are pointless sense gennedy's flexing of his retcon muscles means it's a waste of effort to connect (even sensible things into a theory) points combined with the fact that it's ended now. gennedy can just correct any plotholes with social media posts now and people will let it pass.

he could have ended all this shit when he was at the well those archer monks guarded. But instead of saving the entire world and it's future, he saved those monks. Why? So they would suffer for 50 years and then come back to help jack finally end aku.
Pretty much all the selfless things he did like that were completely pointless. Jack is a fucking moron in my eyes now, not a hero. He could have just went back a long ass time ago and ended it.

>>92569050

This ending scene in particular wasn't fucking tear jerking.

>>92570445
The reason Aku doesn't keep trying to kill Jack is because he's depressed at the idea of fighting Jack forever.

>>92570445

I hate how, out of all the asspulls time travel ALWAYS causes, with making Jack randomly immortal being one of them, showing that Genndy is willing to make time travel asspulls, the one time travel asspull that everyone needed to end on, with Ashi just surviving as a normal human just because, didn't happen.

I also don't like how the episode leads you on, with if Ashi will live or die.
>Jack could have killed Ashi with the sword. Doesn't.
>Aku could have killed Ashi with the sword. Doesn't.
>Ashi could have been killed forever by her possession. Doesn't.
>Ashi could have just had Jack travel back in time alone, knowing that past Aku's death would unmake her. Doesn't.
>Ashi was suppose to instantly die when Aku was defeated. Instead, just her Aku side dies.
>Ashi randomly dies during her wedding, which was who knows how long after Aku's defeat.

Honestly, if you aren't even going to asspull us on her surviving in the past, or going to lead us on just to rip the carpet out from under us for the hell of it, then it would have ended better with staying in the future. It would have been way more consistent that way.

Also, the biggest issue is ending on such a depressing scene. "bittersweet" was a fucking lie. You know what "bittersweet" would be? Ending on a screen of Jack hugging both his parents, and catching a cute new girl's smile or something. At least hint that Jack gets to finally be happy. Instead, its Jack smiling at a bug while under a tree, thanks a lot asshole.

>>92569145
It's almost on par with "it was all a dream" ending.

>>92570485
thank.

>>92569237
>Ashi never told Jack what ladybug's meant to her.
It's from the first episode where Ashi releases a ladybug into the world through a crack in the Aku temple she was being trained at Jack had the same sensation that Ashi felt when she peered into the crack.

That despite the pain they were feeling at the time, it's satisfying to release the innocent from impending doom. In Ashi's case she released a helpless little ladybug, in Jack's case the ladybug might've represented the future he just saved. All of his friends from the future, all of the lives he inspired to do good, and even Ashi herself all flew away to be free like the ladybug. He smiled knowing that they were better off without Aku, they were safe and/or free (in Ashi's case).

If Jack stayed in the future, Ashi would've still been Aku's daughter. His powers, his essence, his legacy. Jack's children would've been part of Aku, too. Can anyone really see Ashi being independent and stable in the longterm without turning into Aku 2.0? Ashi is free by being spared of this fate, even if it meant erasing her from existence.

why not? during 300 episode he could be a toddler, king's son scoring an ass when young wouldnt be a surprise. so now he is 50

>>92570445

The real reason is so Gennedys waifu had time to age

>>92570445
Side effect of all the time portals being destroyed. They linked his life with the past, so being linked by time portals is what kept him aging normally. I guess the overall point is, nobody knows how time travel works entirely, not even Aku.

>>92570486
>His grandson wouldn't be as old as the King was in the 300 episode, and that's how he was depicted as being
Of course he could? How old was the king in the 300 episode, 50 years old at the very most and most likely younger. The son's king was already ready to sire a child when the 300 episode, so all he needed to do is reproduce within the next 15 years to have a 300 leader to fight aku in the 5th season.

But is wasn't forced.

Just watched the episode now. I think I would have preferred if Genndy went all the way in ripping off Gurren Lagann by having Jack and Ashi already quietly accept that would happen.

Also, on a slightly wider scope the ending reminds me on the very last scene of Godzilla '14, where the very last shot is Godzilla quietly returning to the ocean.

Somber and peaceful.

>>92570555
Well think about it, everyone they knew will never have met them, everyone whose lifes they affected never were affected by them, the joys, the fears, the sorrows and triumphs they ever felt, they never felt.
After all, you can believe that there might be something after death, but what about what happened before life?
To us, they existed, but in their reality, they never did.

>>92570621
Who knows. Anyone giving you an answer either way is just speculating.

What really bothers me more than anything is that genndy felt the need to fuck jack one last time. I don't think I have very high standards since the pacing, while felt rushed, didn't really bother me. Ashi was fine, and all of the glaring plot holes, but jack's bittersweet ending was just really unnecessary.

I wouldnt say it was "forced" but it was paced poorly, a distortion of Jack's character, and incredibly inorganic.
Point is its the shittiest element of the entire series.

>>92570603
Yeah but now that life has never even happened.
Jack's and our memories are an anomaly that still remembers things that never were and never will be.

This is why i hate temporal shittery, things that never happened happen and things that happened and people who were there will never happen or exist.

The real question is how is Jack now in the past and how does he remember it all if the method via which he got back was retro actively deleted by the universe.

Panty&Stocking. Samurai Jack was never meant to end, this series needed a twist ending of some sort where Aku is still alive

Ashi romance was a mistake.

>>92570577
Fucking kek

>>92570678
I think we can all agree season 5 would have been better with 13 episode to work instead of 10.

I would have loved to see what Genndy would have been able to do with a full 26 episode seasons with more time to explore the change that took place in 0 years, and giving more development times for Ashi.

>>92569530
Jack is the embodiment of honor in that universe, though. He's not going to just abdicate or abandon the throne just to make himself feel better. That would be so out of character for him it's not even funny.

>>92570581
A man shoved over a cliff by the entire Jedi order doing a Force Shove would've been less forced than this.

>The entirety of the show took place in the few seconds after Aku shot Jack into the Future before he came back with Ashi

>>92570653
This

It wasnt 'artsy' to mak Jack unnecessarily suffer.

The happy ending of him getting married would have been a decent payoff but instead we get:

>all jacks friends dead/dont exist
>he lives in a foreign era now, he has live in future most of his life
>he has seen some shit over 50 years yet everyone else thinks he was gone away for 10 mins
>A ladybird blinks at him so the fact he lost the one woman he will every love/relate to is A ok now

>>92570733
no.

>Ah, good ol' 4chan, always trying to ruin the shit for everybody

>>92570653
Whenever I think what "bittersweet" means to me, I think a ending with a sad loss, but also a happy and hopeful outlook towards the future, and celebrating what you have left. A actual bittersweet ending would be:

>Aku tower falls, Ashi says goodbye and disappears. Ends with Jack meeting his parents, being happy they are alive, and having his parents hug him, while Jack sheds a single tear while smiling.

Or

>Ashi's Aku side is forced off of her, pins future Aku down, and Jack kills them both. Jack is glad it is over, but Ashi cries, saying that she is sad Jack will never get to go home. Then, Jack pulls Ashi close and smiles, surrounded by his future friends, saying that he is home, and kisses her.

But instead we got "Jack loses his love, smiles at a bug, and stands next to a tree. The end."

>>92570744
I won't say it was artsy, but it made sense.

Ironically enough, it made more sense than Nia disappearing just because Anti-spiral guy died.

>>92569050
>You cannot tell me that this ending scene in particular wasn't fucking tear jerking.
Yes, I can. I wasn't emotionally invested in Ashi at all. I felt like there was no real substance to her as a character from the very start, and it was just downhill from there.

It could have been an emotionally charged scene, but Genndy was basically trying to throw a punch with no weight behind it.

>>92570301
He totally did.

Ashi's hair grew way longer by the time of their almost-wedding.

>>92570800
Ashi and Jack wanted to remain pure up until the wedding.

>>92570800

Jack aint that kinda guy.

I just wanted it to be better. I think we all did.

>>92570823

>>92570736
Ahh, the Sonic '06 school of writing

>>92570823
We all wanted it to end on a happy note, reflecting what he had won in the end. Instead, its just Jack standing next to a tree. Should have been either happy for his future friends, or happy that his parents live.

>/co/ is literally /v/ for cartoons or /tv/ for movies
>they always think they couldve done better and everything that doesn't align with their headcanon is immediately shit

I haven't even watched ep 10 yet and you contrarian faggots have just guaranteed to me that I am going to love it

>>92570823
You aren't allowed to be dissatisfied, anon. Stop.

reminder that Gennedy's idea of "addressing" the guardian was to show us that he acknowledged our expectations, and did not give a fuck. because he "addressed" it by showing us the fact that the portal was broke and the guardian dead solely so he could say he did SOMETHING. the body language of the fact that literally all we saw was a frame of the guardians glasses should be pretty obvious he put 0 effort into this and was thinking 'meh'. and even then, we had so many people thinking the guardian was still alive and were expecting SOME explaination, but no we got nothing and this was the last episode so, his middle finger was literally all we get.

even worse, the episode ends without addressing jacks immortality, so going with the show's logic he's still ageless. and the guardian? still alive, because he's existed for eons. guess what?
making the logical assumption jack may encounter the guardian again, immortal or not, as king jack or not, is pointless.

yes its pointless in connecting the obvious dots that jack is still immortal because the show never says he not, that he may still have more to his story, because with what we know of Gennedy's idea of "addressing" plot "challenges".......


He can throw all of that obvious logic out the window with a bullshit social media post.

Depressing huh?

>>92569050
Eh...by this point I was basically waiting for it to finish. Was the whole thing rushed? Maybe. Would I prefer if they didn't do it? No. Although the pacing of the season was a bit off after Jack saved Ashi, it was still an enjoyable show. My only gripe is that Da Samurai wasn't in the final battle

WHY WAS THERE A NEED FOR SEASON 5? WASNT THE FUCKING BABY ENDING GOOD ENOUGH? WASNT THE IDEA THAT SAMURAI JACK'S ADVENTURES IS INSPIRING PEOPLE TO TAKE ARMS ENOUGH OF AN ENDING?

I mean season 4 ended on the note on a nice note and didnt need to be fucking tainted with this horribly pace garbage that fell off after episode four almost redeemed it self in episode 9 then ended on a bittersweet "why the fuck did you pace this like such garbage this ending would have been fine if the story was actually fleshed out episode 10?"

Im not even talking about the shitstain that is ashi im talking about how they completely removed the entire future from existance and didnt even give jack a moment of hesitation/consideration because they rushed the story and forced him into a corner by killing off his future friends

>>92570823
It's not the "bittersweet ending" so much as how rushed everything felt. There was also a decent amount of filler for a final season with just 10 episodes in it.

>>92570823
Baby ending was a better way of ending the series there never needed to be closure of going back to the past or of killing aku.

What made jack so enjoyable to go back to and rewatch was the fact the story wasnt given a definate ending.

This is like fucking firefly levels of shit when they killed off the pilot in the movie. It literally ruined any continuity the series had and just ruined alot for the fans by forcing something down their throat.

>>92570895
>WHY WAS THERE A NEED FOR SEASON 5?
because Genndy wasn't allowed to tell the story he wanted to in the first four seasons due to CN's demands for cartoons that can be aired in any order

>>92570930
Aku killed a few people, but left most alive to worship him.

Jack wiped out an entire timeline. Billions of lives were never lived thanks to him.

All those people he met for 50 years mattered less to him than his parents.

Who's the real monster here?

...okay still Aku, but Jack sucked in the end too.

I'd say we could use an epilogue. If not for just for Jack, for the new future he fought for. Its cool that he's back to the past and whacha and all that, but we don't really get to see the long term result of that beyond, 'things will be better than when the embodiment of evil was subjugating as much of the globe as he felt like.'

Despite the Ashi stuff being as contrived as it usually is, the army scenes were pretty damn fun, even if it was borderline shameless fan service.

>>92570886
I think they are running on the assumption that once Jack's returned to his original time, the agelessness is reverted. Honestly, it would have been funny as shit if once Ashi's non-existence caught up with her, all of Jack's lost time did as well, leaving him a fucking geriatric. Jack is older than his fucking father at this point.

We have to be honest, from the very first season, we knew that was what was going to happens. This was Jack's goal the entire time going back in the past and undo Aku so that his future reign would never happens.

>>92570895
The first four seasons are pretty divorced from seasons five in my mind. This is more like a Korra tier sequel to me.

>>92570970
>Le jack killed gorillions by not having them exist
So when I jack off I am literally worse than hitler since I am preventing those sperm cells from experiencing life? Cmon my dude same logic

As soon as Genndy does an interview or an AMA or whatever, I desperately want someone to ask him if he the ending was inspired by TTGL. I mean, it's pretty obvious, but I just want to hear it from his mouth. I also want to know if he felt restricted with the amount of episodes he had to work with. There's no way this rush job was intentional, because if it was, damn...

>>92570979
>>92570991
The magical thing is that with 4 seasons you knew it was gonna happen but it was left up to the fans to interpret at the end.

Season 5 was all "fuck the past 4 seasons dis my show now bitch"

>>92570979
But anon, don't you know? Jack accomplishing the goal he's had since Season 1 & the goal that every one of his friends had no problem with, is wrong because reasons.

>>92570967
Genndy said he didn't even have an ending in mind until a year after Jack finished airing.

>>92571000
I think Mako would be grateful.

It would basically be the same as that time Donald Pleasance was given a formal tribute at the end of fucking Halloween 6 or whatever it was. No way he would want his memory attached to the piece of shit that the last episode was.

>>92569050

I would preferred a "many worlds" take on time travel.

Have Jack and Ashi defeat Aku in the present. Big celebration. Victory. Then a beat of "wait, but..." Oh no, now Jack has to go back and defeat Aku in the past. And all of his friends will disappear forever!

They all talk it over, give him the thumbs up, big emotional jump into the portal together...

...Jack emerges in the past, kicks Aku's ass.

Now Jack's ending can play out SIMULTANEOUSLY with, in a parallel universe, everybody chillin and rebuilding the world, post-Aku.

And if you still want that final note of melancholy, find a reason that Ashi has to stay in the future (like maybe she can't go through a time portal she created, who gives a shit, handwave it). Then you can get some of that good parallel universe imagery of Jack and Ashi looking at one another through a pond and shit.

Ah well.

I'm satisfied with the ending we got. Coulda been better, less rushed, but desu, after 16 years, a functional ending is good enough. I'm just glad the story finally got some closure.

>>92570377
Genndy had pacing problems, not budget problems.

>>92571033
>Season 5 was all "fuck the past 4 seasons dis my show now bitch"
No, in no way does Season 5 crap on the other 4 season. It complete it very well. It only craps on the fanfics and headcanons.

Which series from the early 2000's that had a revival had the shittier ending?

Avatar (with Legend of Korra) or Samurai Jack (with season 5)?

>>92571058
>No way he would want his memory attached to the piece of shit that the last episode was.

This, it would have been about as good a tribute as naming that korra character after Mako.

>>92571089
They both had a point in which I stopped caring.

For Korra, it was when Amon died. For Jack, it was when Ashi turned into a fairy. Avatar is different in the sense that it still had a proper ending in its original run. Korra is pretty much a spin-off. Season 5 is an extension of Jack so it kinda hurts even more.

I can, because anyone with a little genre savvy knew it was coming and the execution was such that it didn't even give us a good self sacrifice ending.

>>92570928
You know why the ending works there? Half because because the series was about moving forward rather than going back. And half because everyone KNOWS Nia was going to die (especially Simon and Nia) if they beat the bad guy, but they do it anyway and choose not to bring her back even though they easily could, because heroic sacrifice.
...And because Nia didn't really pull any 11th hour superpowers with instant mastery out of her ass.
...And because they got the "I know you're in there some where" true love stuff out of the way like 4-5 episodes earlier.

My point is DeMarco needs to reair Gurren Lagaan.

>>92570719
>I think we can all agree season 5 would have been better with 13 episode to work instead of 10.
I do not agree with that. I heard people say the same thing about Korra; that book 1 should've needed 20 episodes like AtLA rather than the 12 episodes it got. But my belief is that a good writer can work with any kinds of time constraints, and it's possible to write a compelling story for any amount of time; 10 minutes short story, a feature film, 6 episodes, 24 episodes, or whatever.

The first few episodes of this Samurai Jack season felt more somber in tone than the rest of the season, which felt much like the original series. I think it's a pity that this tonal difference messed with my expectations for the show, and I also wish there had been some closure on the fates of everyone in the future. But overall, I don't feel like complaining about the show. I'm just saying that you can create these imaginary worlds where these shows got more episodes and were much better, but they're a "what if" scenario that can't be proven or unproven. I think any amount of time can be used to tell the story, and the key is in the writer using well the time he's given.

>>92570895
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the original series I don't remember anyone who Jack had told his mission to, have any problem with him undoing the future or any reservations helping him to do it.

>>92571279

Only way I can headcannon this shit and enjoy the ending.

Also is this nip immortal still?

>>92571278
In TTGL's case they telegraph why, explain why for the viewer, and then do a super depressing side story explaining in what's going through Nia's mind where she knows she's got a rapidly approaching desperation date and is struggling to hold on.

Whereas Ashi just falls over and says what anyone with a brain was thinking.

>She didn't vanish immediately and had to do it at their true moment of happiness

Literally had no use besides to make Jack hurt even more what the fuck?

>a conclusion that came organically
Ashi getting Akus power to time travel came organically?

I think SJ is about loss. There is no other way to put it. When you are in Jack's shoes, you have two choices to make, and both of them result in the loss of countless innocents. You return to the past or you stay in the future. Those are the only possibilities.

Jack cannot satisfy his duty to his family and satisfy his duty to his friends at the same time. He must choose one. And whichever one he does not choose, he loses.

You can wander the world for 50 years. You can have adventures, you can make friends, you can fall in love. But all things must end eventually.

In a way, it's almost meta. It's like the show itself. You cannot have it stay the same forever. Do you want Samurai Jack to go on for 15, 16, 100 seasons, always the same, never changing? Or do you realize that the show must end? There are dozens of missing episodes between the last episode of S4 and the first episode of S5. That's what they symbolize. Your adventures must always end. Jack's adventure must always end. Nothing goes on forever. Everything ends.

>>92569391

No one ever agued about that. The main argument was that it was done to be a self-contained season. If it hadn't a part of Season 2 could have been dedicated to her seeking back her power, greatly improving the end of Season 1.

>my belief is that a good writer can work with any kinds of time constraints
An I say, with the limitation of 10 episode, Genndy did an excllent work.

It's because I already enjoy Season 5 that I can say that. But I will agree theree was little times to develop Ashi more. She would have benefited from an episode or tow to make her heel turn.

>season 4 was a great way to put an end to the series
No, it wasn't. You do not end something by leaving everyone wanting more. That's how you keep something going. A stage magician leaves everyone wanting more so people keep coming back to his next shows. An author leaves everyone wanting more so that they buy the next book.

That is not how you end something. An ending is definite and final. When something ends, properly ends, it does not leave anyone wanting more. Wishing that things were different, perhaps. But not wanting more of the same.

An ending is inherently different to a "ceasing". When you end something, that is it. You do not just stop making it. You tie it up. You burn bridges with finality. You let go.

Nothing can ever end if you cling to it, if you leave things ambiguous, if you just "don't make the choice to end it yet". You can only end something by choosing to end it. And when you end it, you will be disappointed if you do not end it with finality, with strength, and with determination. You will always regret it if you leave your endings ambiguous. Because you will always be asking yourself, "is it really over? could I get more out of that?".

Samurai Jack is over. There will never be another episode. It deserved a proper ending. And, controversial or not, that's what it got.

People started hating her since Episode 7, it became stronger by Episode 8, even stronger by 9, and now it's in full force in Episode 10.

Everyone has the right to hate such a shitty mary-sue, she mastered Aku's power in literally less than a minute and is a literal plot-device, Genndy killed off the Guardian just to have his shitty waifu have the honor of teleporting back and having an overexaggerated dramatic "death" scene.

I actually laughed super hard at that part.

I knew it was coming ever since the whole "Ashi is one with Aku" thing came about reminded me of Nia and the anti-Spirals, but goddamn, I was expecting her to at least say, "I love you." before she faded away. Instead, she just kinda says some mundane shit and fades. It was so poorly done, holy fuck lmao.

>>92571641
I don't think the show flowed well when in the middle of a battle ashi went "I can do time portals lol" and they got back to the past just like that. That's something they should've reserved for defeating future aku or something to that effect. It doesn't feel organic when she discovers the solution to the main plot device of the show very quickly.

>>92571685
Season 5 is good with a nice ending. It is a bit predictable but it's still quite nice.

>>92571360
>A good final fight against Aku.
The actual final fight was literally garbage because there was no time for a good final fight.

Go watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and then tell me how much of Season 5's ending is organic.

I am glad the show got a proper ending, but I would have found it more appreciable if he had done something like this.

>"riding off into the sunset"
We already know how that story ends. The native americans lose the "war" of colonization, America is formed, and you are born to shitpost on computers. Or the prince and the princess ride off and live happily ever after.

But more than that, "rides off into the sunset" means "they're off to have more adventures". That's not an ending. That's a ceasing. Samurai Jack needed an ending. Jack kills Aku and goes back to the past. He lives happily ever after.

>>92571725

Except it's not what happened. Everything was getting wrecked and everyone were about to die.

It's precisely what they did.

It actually make more sense for Ashi to disappear than Nia.

>>92569530
YES PLEASE
>>92569605
Maybe if the future changed they got reincarnated as different versions of themselves or some shit. Jack would never know until he went back.

Could have forgiven the rushed ending and leaving plotholes open if he stayed in the future, would have been more meaningful.

What do you guys think Jack did after the ending? Jack's completed his sole purpose of defeating Aku and his true love has been wiped from existence.

I feel as if he'll tell his parents and his Past friends about the weird journey he had, especially about Ashi. Or perhaps he informs his friends that he can "JUMP GOOD!"

My take is, the portal the Guardian is keeping is actually more powerful and allow the exploration of alternate branch. Hence why it is kept so furiously compared to other portal.

It was done better by Gurren fucking Lagann.

>>92569145
There is just as much proof, if not moreso, disliking this view on time paradox. Instead believing any amount of time travel is dimensional travel and you would never delete a timeline from changing the past.

Which means there's a whole other group of fags out there buttmad because she faded away at all cause new theories yadda yadda.

They obviously didn't show it, but they've had to had spent a fuckload of time rebuilding that Kingdom.

Since it was in ruin for fucking decades whilst Jack's father was being tormented and his mother and their subjects were in hiding.

Actually that's a huge plothole. They couldn't possibly have done in that in a short time, but it's implied Ashi didn't stay around for very long.

>>92571798

Then I must assume you're being a contrarian for the sake of it, because plagiarism is the antithesis of organic.
>It actually make more sense for Ashi to disappear than Nia.
Nothing about a human being dependent on a cosmic entity for their life makes sense, it's a storyteller's job to try and convincingly lie to their audience. At least they gave an explanation as to why Nia held on for as long as she did. There's no reason given for why Ashi disappears right as she walks up the aisle of her wedding other than "lol plot".

One thing that Genndy mishandled for sake of storytelling (which was rather bad in my opinion) was Ashi disappearing - killing Aku would mean that Jack would not be able to get back, grandfather paradox and the works, Ashi should've disappeared the moment Aku died or not at all.

The "bittersweet" in the ending is just shoved in our faced rather badly, as opposed to flowing out of the ending, because it was "too perfect" in how easy it was, but I think it was the problem of pieces present for the ending's resolution as opposed to the writing or situation presented. Without this happening, the ending would not end in anything other than happy, which at this point didn't really make much difference and is quite jarring to have such bait and switch after happy notes of the season - the contrast is just too sharp.
It jars with the start and the first episodes as well, but the tonal shift in itself is not bad if it portrays something and I think this season did it rather well, from despair to hope. Ashi disappearing where she did (as opposed right after Aku's death or not at all) is just unnecessary and cheap.

7/10 from me, Genndy.
