Wow Kaito is weak as shit, Kouta gets smacked around and abused like all fucking get out and he still can kill his sorry ass.

Kouta should have not killed him, he had a future if Kouta became exactly how he did but Kaito lived; one of two options were available for him: 1. Kouta using the power of the apple fixes him or 2. Kouta trusts Kaito to lead the world that he sent the Inves too so both of them end how they want. Kouta should have broke his sword and threw away the blade and then probably created the Kurumi Bomber and punched him in the head so he'd be knocked out cold (Which would have been great symbolism of using Zack's weapon). Other options that could have happened that would have been great: Micchy learning to actually accept Kouta's forgiveness or have a start to try and help Kouta, returns and helps Kouta fight and hell even add the possibility of Zack getting Minato's Genesis Driver and becoming a male Peach Rider or becoming a new Duke joining Kouta and Micchy in this ending which would have shown that Kouta won the fight without killing Kaito with the help of his friends which would have shown Kaito that Mai's way of strength she said earlier was more powerful than Kaito's version of strength which comes from himself. There was absolutely no reason Kouta should have killed Kaito, he didn't kill Micchy who was his friend and was way more off the deep end than Kaito who was misguided. Was was Kaito? Off the deep end and misguided it, was the same situation again and instead of dropping his own weapon this time he impaled it through his friend. Honestly I think less of Kouta for this. Unless Kaito comes back some way in the next episode this really hurt Gaim for me. I'll see though after next week. Honestly Micchy, Takatora, Jonouchi, Zack and hell even Oren evolved the most so far out of this series if you see them from beginning to end. Kouta is still the same pretty much just knowing what he wanted, and Kaito didn't really change by the end. Honestly I really wanted Micchy to win the Golden Fruit and sacrifice himself to help save everyone and fix the world because he was the human one left out of the 3 rather than having Overlord vs Overlord for which Overlord won.

You shouldn't fix some one that dosen't wanna be fix'd or chose their own path, and as far I'm concern with Kaito he doesn't wanna be fixed.

Well which is why I said choice two. Also I meant more cure him of being an Overlord because I think he was driven mad a bit by his wound and Overlord powers.

Kouta was the only person that should have killed Kaito. Kouta was the future that Kaito wanted, he was a person that kept gaining power and then didn't trample the weak. This is why I felt Kaito was accepting of his defeat, because he went out according to his own rules.

Nah, Kaito's ideals just got progressively more extreme as he was issued with more power. He was always going to head in that direction.

Pretty much, yeah. I don't think Kouta could have just knocked Kaito out or something because Kaito was never going to let this end without his own death. Even if Kouta incapacitated him and claimed the Golden Fruit, Kaito would just keep coming back and trying to kill him.

And after the series ended, Gaim is now a god.

How will future crossover movies feature Kouta now without a lame copout excuse for nerfing him?

Continuity? What continuity?

Import him from a time where he wasn’t god yet. Obviously.
