! Ikeuchi as final boss was super lame. His motivations were incredibly weak and it was just so out of nowhere. He came across like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Trying to add emotional weight to Shuichi’s and Claire’s actions (guilt-tripping) was also unfair and I don’t think that was on purpose, since no one rebuked it. Yes they killed people, but they didn’t have much of a choice. Moreover, the entire thing was unnecessary. After defeating him, they did the same thing they were trying to do before he deus ex machina’d himself back into the manga. Killing off Elaina could’ve easily been done without this too, if that was the reason this was included. !<
