Was that the 3rd Mizukage? Yepp!! I'm glad Kishi debuted one of the past Kage subtly. Probably the only positive of this chapter.
And why the hell are people complaining about this 'being it'. I thought the general consensus for a while now was for it to just end. As a villain, Kishimoto has thoroughly exhausted and used up Kaguya. It seems bones and dimensions were all she had. As far as battle-hardened instincts and skill go, Madara was superior. If she'd revealed and developed more new powers this chapter, people would be throwing out accusations of asspulls like they always do. Y'all never make much sense ever, do you?
Having said that, I'm somewhat satisfied with where this battle has ended. Even though one of my long-time favorite manga is coming to a close, it somehow feels right that the battle be concluded now. From the very first sudden lava dimension, to the emergence of Black Zetsu, to the ice world, to the Sasuke Abroad mini-arc, to Obito's redemption and death, to the reunion with Rin, to Kakashi pitching in, to Naruto's numerous feints, to finally the last blow, it's high time this all ended, lest it be further dragged out. The good guys winning was a forgone conclusion anyway.
And there is still everything post-war to see, which I honestly think will be way more interesting than this war arc. The fun stuff is yet to come. Final words and gifts, a history lesson from Hagoromo revealing Kaguya's backstory probably, maybe a battle or two over the title of Hokage, and some more make-do love pairing for Kishimoto to rile the fans one last time. Heh, I suppose I've already taken all I can from this story, so now I hope it all goes out with a bang. I do recall Kishi saying that he even put off his honeymoon to dedicate all his time to the ending of this manga in one of his last interviews, so I really want him to get that much deserved break and time with his family. Let it all finally conclude, I don't have any complaints either way.
