I like how, even though it's reeeally redundant, Parad being revived was almost kind of foreshadowed with Emu killing Parad the first time. And also somehow completes Parads character arc, having him learning from his whole self-sacrifice thing. It's weird how this show can make the most contrived things interesting, cause I know I should be hating the fact that he was killed then revived, then killed again then revived. But I still got feels from him and Poppy.

I also liked how they only spent half the episode on the final battle, and really fleshed out the post-plot character stuff. I was seriously laughing at how awesome some characters' plots resolved, especially Niko. Emu especially shined with the heartwarming stuff, having said as many names as he could in his speech.

Although, now I'm wondering about Hiiro. Yeah, it may have just been him moving on, but it could have also hinted about her data having been restored by the reset. I mean I could be reaching, but apparently it was supposed to be common knowledge that Poppy was a Bugster and not some data-construct/bugster knock-off.

Overall, a great end to a fantastic show. Has it really been a year? So much stuff has happened between the first episode and now. Seeing some clips of early episodes, it almost feels like a different show. And I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Either way, here's hoping Build doesn't gets crushed under the post-good-series expectations.
