>>3816967I think the only thing I would have liked to seen in the Finale was Shizuka doing more to protect Yoshika and becoming the hero that she always admired. I get not wanting to put yoshika on the sidelines, I think it would have worked for shizuka since i felt that any time shizuka started getting more confident and doing anything of note, she'd end up messing it up a few minutes later. So to tie in her disobeying orders and going full rambo in order to protect would have been nice. It would have been especially good for her character to solidify her place in the 501st if all the expectations where on her getting everything to yoshika and it was subverted to make the new guy the hero of the moment.
Maybe that would have worked better if yoshika was in a position of aging out as a method of passing the torch. I'm not even a fan of shizuka but I her self sacrifice felt cheap once yoshika made it better in no time.
But I still enjoyed the season as a whole. And Minna getting the killing blow on Wolf was pretty cathartic.
