Yes, like many things in Saber, this special is open to interpretation. For me, this is like the final stage of Reika growing up and stopping the idealization of her brother. First, it was she who dealt the decisive blow to the sage, then the moment came when she not only contradicts Ryoga twice, which never happened in the series, but also directly declares that she wants to be equal with him. Also here is the development of Ryoga, for he finally understands that he should not dispose of his sister's life. Yes, and in a good way he should not be in charge at all, because he has no leader. In a word, for such a short film, the scriptwriters put a lot of context into it.
Also, a lot has been done in terms of context. Ren, Ogami with his family, Magine, Reika changed more outfits than in the entire show. And it?s also worth noting how well they picked up her children?s version:


Of course, it's very tempting that Rui appears out of nowhere, coming from an important Sword Logos family that somehow missed all the events of the main show. I think if he even flashed or mentioned earlier, it would have worked much better for the lore of the series. For example, one could make him the blacksmith of the South Base or the unfortunate Espada mentioned earlier. This would give more weight to the character and explain his desire for the sword.
All in all, it was a good farewell to my favorite show. However, it is perceived more as a see you soon, because there are many more stories to tell with the lore and characters of Saber.
