I think what's great about Blade's ending is that it's super upbeat (everyone's doing great, no one died) while also being a goddamn dagger in the heart (Kenzaki is gone forever). I mean, if you wanted to look at it a certain way, nothing had consequences. The Darkroaches just disappear, Tachibana miraculously survived (being saved by Karasuma, which is the biggest WTF detail in the entire finale), everyone in the cast is totally fine. But the show bets everything on They'll Never See Kenzaki Again as being the most heartbreaking outcome imaginable, and they were smart to do it.
