I do feel like people are focusing on "The ending is nothing like what has been seen before" part of the message and not the "This ending will reflect how the Reiwa era moves forward"

And that's the idea of Heart, how it takes a good Heart to help others, an ugly Heart to cause destruction and hurt. And how it's not about the powers that make a Kamen Rider but the Heart. And I thought that was like a nice little theme they did.

Overall still enjoyed the finale despite some of it's questionable decisions. Keeping Azu and Malice around does make sense, both from a marketing and just, normal perspective. It's something that can't really be taken care of so easily, and I think that's why they emphasized so much on Aruto vs Horobi, this was their finale, their way to get past their grief and grow.

We can have our world ending threat some other time with Eden, but for now, I'm glad they decided to push for a more personal sort of ending.
