So here, we get the symbolism that while Wataru establishes relationships that leave him on top of the Fangire world with monster butlers at his Beck and call, Taiga’s actions have cost him everything, leaving him a poor, destitute loner who’s only friend is a bat (and that’s for a given value of friend, given that he tossed his previous bat aside for a less conceptually silly one). Quite the reversal.

And to add to this symbolism, here’s the two actors doing a duet.

In case you can’t tell, Wataru becoming a king is one of my favourite ends to a character’s growth in… anything. You can’t deny there’s been any change from the guy in the face mask practicing social distancing 12 years early.
