Jormungand

[Yukimura]

I thought it was a rather unimpactful ending as well, but I did appreciate that wrapped it up with both a sense of closure and a sense of an unpredictable future. Something like a final climactic gun battle with Hex or the CIA or some other group trying to kill Koko probably wouldn't have provided any sense closure since once it was over they'd just go back to doing the same old thing in the same old world they were in at the beginning. At least with the ending we got we can take away that the world Koko and Co had their adventures in ended once she pushed the button and we're left to speculate on what will become of the world and characters we got to know in the post Jormungand world.

@Buff: I don't think they hinted at this enough but the impression I got/choose to buy into was that barely anyone on earth besides the few people we know about had any idea what Koko was up to. It did strain credulity a bit that no one put together what the disappearance/abduction of Dr. Baburin and Rabbitfoot might mean but very few people knew that Rabbitfoot was at GitMo, and then broken out, maybe the same holds true for Baburin. Bookman knew and admitted he wanted to see that other world, as for the other CIA guy Koko probably scared him silent with her demonstration of how easily she could have taken him away from his family.
