Personal Note:Wow, the way these last 6 episodes help conclude this arc was amazing, it also looked like we got a bit of filler too, as some things that turned up in this, don’t show up in the manga, apart from that it came back to the amazing way to how the series felt when it started, this definitely needs another story arc for the series.
