Yeah, I've always gotten the vibes that this movie was written off of an outdated show bible that didn't reflect how the show would eventually evolve. Ending on a stinger of Gotou as Birth is definitely a sign of this.

I don't know the full behind the scenes story, but I remember that there were a lot of rumored plot developments while OOO was airing that ended up not coming to pass. It's always given me the sense - accurate or not - that OOO was really being made up on the fly.
