| Does anyone else think that Kotetsu should have died? It would have immortalized the series and his character in a sense in my opinion. I thought the idea of the hero's sacrifice for his family and friends and for the sake of justice was beautiful when Kotetsu willing took H-01's gunshot from Barnaby. If he died at that climactic moment, I think I would have felt a lot more emotions internally, and I think it would sort of immortalize his character. Here was a hero who was framed as a villain and pushed to his limits - yet, he perseveres and saves everyone with his sacrifice. This desire of mine also stems a bit from his status after the gunshot. His return as a B-league hero and in The Rising felt like a rehash of parts of the series: "veteran hero out of his prime still trying to be a hero". I applaud and love his desire to fight for justice and his clash of virtues with Lunatic, but I felt like it was something already done before repeatedly in the series. It held weight, but with him in his powered down state, it felt a bit less interesting to watch him. tl;dr his death would have immortalized him as a hero who sacrificed it all for Sternbuild, as the final episode epithet, "Eternal Immortality", seemed to initially suggest. His return destroyed the emotional impact of his sacrifice, and his story arc essentially ended with his fight for justice until the noble end. |
Punpun3 said: the story hasn't ended yet. we still don't know who's behind ouroboros. Barnaby or his daughter could be the next hero to investigate. He did his duty in saving his daughter and becoming her hero while aiding his fellow teammates. |
| I agree. During the last episode, I spent the first half hoping he doesn't magically come back to life and KNEW they'd blame the broken suit for his signal fading. I hated his just getting up and walking around normally just like that, and I think Barnaby could have gone after Oroborus on his own, showing us he can handle his emotions better now without needing Kotetsu. Barnaby hasn't really shown himself to really be over any of his trauma properly yet, since it can lapse back just like that. |
