But the battle between Ashura and Magya is not in this battle system at all. It subverts the logical basis of the previous large-scale story, which is quite slap in the face.
But I don't think Soul Eater is unfinished.
Asura always said some very "philosophical" lines, such as "Fear comes from imagination, so I gave up imagination", "Pain is the most primitive fear of human beings", and his own fear of "unknown". This ghost represents fear, so he is very timid: he wraps himself in thick clothes to isolate himself from the outside world, obviously relies on the spider witch but is afraid that the other party will become his weakness, so he kills her. The concept of "fear" projected by the screenwriter on Asura is very profound, because the uncertainty that people have to face in life is almost infinite, and Asura represents the huge fear caused by facing uncertainty.
In the face of an uncertain outside world, fear can make people give up their imagination and rest on their laurels, so what is the solution?
That is to have the courage to embrace uncertainty even if you are only an extremely weak individual.
What is courage? Courage is overcoming fear, overcoming complacent emotions, overcoming the fearful inner self.
Soul Eater is 51 episodes long, telling the story of the continuous growth of young girls. In fact, no matter what kind of story, its core is about the contradiction between man and the outside or inside. Magical magic and miracles are the seasoning of the story.
From this perspective, Soul Eater tells a good story, and this ending is a good choice.
