Nah, I just want a ton of frosting like Naomi serves it. Yuuto's right: coffee is too bitter. That's why everyone gets along with him! Because of his universally popular opinions!

We get a big reveal about Hana, Yuuto permanently erases Sakurai's existence, there's a "cheers love, the cavalry's here!" moment with Sieg, of all people... it should feel bigger than it does. It's good, and that Sieg moment in particular was fantastic, but it still feels relatively low key. I think a lot of it boils down to how simple and straightforward the final boss fight is? The Gorenger style bouncing attack is cool and all, but it basically amounts to one shot, a dead Imagin, and then Kai just disintegrates. I don't know. Something about that whole element of the finale didn't really do much for me.
I think the biggest problems for the scale of the final episode are that we don't really see anyone outside of the heroes reacting to the threat (there aren't civilians in obvious jeopardy, no returning guest stars to re-endanger), and that the Imagin assault is just There Are A Whole Bunch Of Monsters. There's a point when they're attacking the hospital to get at Airi, but then Deneb defeats them all?
Off-screen?
There aren't any cool strategies or shocking twists, outside Sieg showing back up when Naomi arrives. It all just ends up feeling like busywork, something to do until everyone starts crying.

I feel like we would've gotten one less Yuuto spotlight, to make room for a Hana spotlight. There probably would've been a tease about her connection to Sakurai and/or Airi, something to make her a little more central to the conclusion. It
definitely
would've helped the final string of episodes, for me at least.
