Some good things in these final few episodes. Overall, I liked that the show wrapped up nicely even though it was getting canned. Anyway, onto my specific thoughts

-The Night Raiders revolting was a great moment. Because fuck TLT trying to do asshole things to humanity's only defense when bad stuff is going full drive.

-Ren learning to fight without a death wish was good. And I liked that Nagi was the one who told him. Nice little growth for the both of them.

-Ren trying to erase Mizuo's memory was a powerful moment. While we might not have had much time with them, it shows how much they had bonded with Mizuo desperately fighting back.

-Ismael was an awesome design. I'm a sucker for amalgamation enemies, so I really want this as an Ultra-Act one day </Pipe Dream>

-Ishibori is Unknown Hand/Dark Zagi? Wow, I didn't see that coming. Much like the Riko/Faust twist that was well executed. Well, aside from the fact that Ishibori was such a background character compared to Riko.

-Nagi and Komon getting turns at deunamists was cool. Especially for Komon because he went through the different forms before becoming Noa.

-Jun is alive, cool. I had a feeling if Mizorogi survived the final showdown, he could have too.

-Shiori's origin story was interesting. Glad she finally got some fleshing out. Though that final scene really whiplashes with what happened in the final episode .

This last set of episodes if what truly hit home for me how much I love this show. I can tell that the ending is rushed from cancellation but it's still so damn satisfying. Had the series gone on longer we would have seen Nagi be Nexus more than once. Actually in the original series synopsis, after Zagi's defeat at the hands of Noa he was supposed to return later as the more fearsome Dark Lucifer.
But this ending is satisfying and positive. Jun gets to live, Komon gets to absolutely kick ass as all 4 four forms of Ultraman, and we see the world finally remember and appreciate Ultraman as a hero. I wish this show hadn't become the black sheep of the franchise, it's just so good. But fear not as Dark Zagi and possibly Riko will be making an appearance in Ultraman Ginga later this year

1. Interesting to learn that. Considering the color scheme of Dark Zagi, I like to think Belial is a spiritual successor to him now.

2. They are? I might have to check that episode of Ginga out. Do we know what episode it will be?
