Just finished watching the finale... And I actually really like it.

Admittedly not everything was perfect, Cronus using the Gamedeus weapons was rather pointless especially when they're knocked out of his hands a few minutes later.

But the fight itself was great! I always like a finale that makes an effort to include the opening into the final battle, and the fact that they made it nighttime to reference the opening even further was awesome, and the revolving/spinning shot around Cronus and Ex-Aid in their Rider Kick clash was fantastic.

Actually that's not true, in the earlier episodes Bugsters have shown that they can revive by themselves given a fair amount of time.

In episode 1 Salty was Critical Striked by Ex-Aid, but was never shown to have been absorbed into the Bugvisor/Buggle Driver 1. And yet he then came back in episode 11, by just cultivating in the Christmas VotW who was infected by his virus at some earlier point.

The same goes for Aranbura, he got Critcal Finished by Brave in episode 2, and naturally came back in episode 13 after manifesting from the VotW.

I'd rather they just left the dead dead, and move on from that. (We already had some issues with dead characters coming back in this show, we don't need this to have this happen to LITERALLY JUST ABOUT EVERYONE WHO DIED IN THIS SHOW....)

Now I'm actually not going to debate with you on that, as I feel very similarly on that subject in most media. But I do feel that in this case, Emu (according to Excite Subs) said it best:

We at the CR believe that the people erased by the game illness have not died. It is simply a symptom of game illness that makes them appear dead.

I think the big problem is the difference in perspective between audience and character. Basically, the CR have taken the stance that;

Rather than thinking that the people defeated in Chronicle are dead and therefore should be left resting in piece. The CR consider them as "game" dead, and are being trapped in a death-like state, like a coma or complete head-to-toe paralysis. So as Doctors they are morally obligated to help them.

EDIT: TheGloryXros, I really hope this doesn't come off as me and others ganging up on you for your different view on the ending, I just felt that some of your points of discontent could be answered by the way I saw things.
