I see that most people are disappointed with Arc V’s ending.
Also to add bit to this, the theme of Arc-V is to take a step forward with courage.
Everything bad that happen with Leo and Zarc happened because they couldn’t let go of the past (Leo wanting to get Ray and the original world, his old world, back. Zarc wanting to beat Ray, become one, and destroy everything because he practically went insane).
It was put to Yuya, who at the very beginning was in a runt because he couldn’t let go of the past and even if he took a step forward (Pendulum summoning) he couldn’t do it with courage (he got very upset when he found out other people can use Pendulum too), to fix, not fix but inspire I guess, those two and everyone else to move on with their lives.
The ending was sad yes. Reiras a baby and possibly has some of Zarcs soul in him (at least it’s good). Heartland is in shambles. The six counterparts lost their own bodies.
But look Shuns smiling, the Yuu boys worked together with Yuya, and the bracelets girls were smiling at the end. Let me tell you it’s hard to be happy and continue on after a bunch of shit like this happens.
Yet they’re all somewhat content. It takes courage to accept somethings won’t be the way thy use to be and life just goes on and it’s different.
Yea the ending was bittersweet but the cast, despite all the shit they went through, are taking a step forward into a brand new unknown tomorrow with the courage to keep smiling and continuing on.
