metaphors for the last arc.

giving a child a lollipop after a visit to the dentist.
promising an obese man a cake if he manages to lose weight.
giving the content of your wallet as a reward to the person who found it.


the whole shabang misses the point, if the 'reasoning' behind the arc was to break the cycle of violence (to learn to accept the death of others, and not give in to senseless revenge), then this revival (everybody lives! woohoo!) is cheating the message.

it doesn't matter how awesome the story was the last two months (and it was quite awesome, 9-tails release for the win!) if all we're going to remember is the shitty revival the undid everything that happened.
