But, of course, through the support of his friends, and his own desire for justice, he resolves his will, and pushes on as his best self.
It all holds together fine, it's just an odd choice. Maybe it's just that, knowing the upgrade was coming, I was expecting it to be more tied into what he was going through, rather than what feels like a post-script reward?
One of the best arcs in Saber, I feel, especially since it's Rintarou. One of my favorite parts of it is when Touma mimics Slash's deflection, it's a callback to how Rintarou spent most of the Q2 sitting around and Touma got the development, so seeing how Blades stagnated was great.
Also, I do think that Tategami's not really a post-development award, it's more to me as a sort of part 2. The first part being his development as a swordsman and his skills of it and the Tategami debut being more about his development as North SOL's family member. Like reaffirming that his new mission is not about the organization, but more so protecting those closest to him.
Also this sequence of his master greeting him again, him turning back into a child metaphorically as his master pats his head and fades back into him being all alone in the show is
splendid
