A few more thoughts...

I was waiting to see if the last episode would address this is any way (secretly i knew it absolutely would not) but this:

Like...actually, not even just the death, but the Aso ladies' entire role in the show is strange to me. What even was their point, again? Yuri was basically just an object for Otoya and Jirou to fight over for the first part of the show, then Otoya "won," after which she was just there so Maya could "steal" him from her (uuuurggg). Then she died, who cares (not the show, is the answer).

And Megumi...was there to trick us into thinking that Yuri mattered? I mean, I don't know. Don't ask me. I could not tell you. I guess she also provided one extra person for 753 to be a dick to on a regular basis. Other than that...

It's like the only reason they were involved is misdirection. But it's pointless misdirection. It's just...pointless. Nothing of interest even comes from it. Nothing meaningful happens because Otoya dates Yuri but then falls for Maya, just more awful pretentious spiels about people's inner musics and what the hell ever.

And speaking of pointless things related to Yuri, I'm really struggling to figure out what role Rook could have possibly played in the Fangire organization. King, Queen and Bishop have pretty well defined roles. But Rook is just...in charge of games? It's...something. Meh.
