Anyway, if we're talking shows that could use epilogues, how about Faiz? Kamen Rider Wars and Yongou were sort of the Faiz fanfics I never knew I wanted, but they deliberately dance around the details, so there's plenty of room still left to explore.

I was fine with Asumu not becoming an Oni at the end. What soured the ending for me was that Kiriya, the guy who:

Wanted to become an Oni because it would make him a greater person than his dad. (Not in the "My dad was a great guy, but I want to live up to/ be better than him." kinda way, the "I gotta surpass my father for glory!")

Constantly competed with Asumu to become Hibiki's student even after Asumu decides not to become an Oni.

When tasked with running a couple miles as part of his training. Decides to call a taxi, rides to the finishing line, and calls it a day.

Ultimately got to be an Oni. And not only did Asumu not get to be an Oni despite being way more worthy, but apparently the production team later confirmed that Asumu's Oni costume was scrapped to make Kiriya's suit look better.
