Is Soul Eater unfinished? What is the ending of Soul Eater about?

Soul Eater has been instilling such a combat system in the audience from the beginning: the stronger the soul, the stronger the combat power, and the stronger the soul, the greater the manifestation. The god of death is almost invincible, and its soul is enough to wrap the entire city of death. However, Asura can severely damage this invincible existence. So to be reasonable, the protagonist and everyone standing in front of Asura are courting death, and don't even think about the capital to fight with them.
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.
