Even though this was not a GAINAX ending, my expression was like this
from the second-half of the episode towards the end.
I mean what the HECK.
It packed until Hazama and Hokuto escaped, and then everything went as if they showcased the slowly, peaceful resolution after the final battle.
Akasha's performance bombed once Sadahiro and Akira gunned down the graveyard to expose the coffin of the former's Shikabane Hime.
Hokuto went bonkers on Akasha after the latter left her for his previous Shikabane Hime's corpse (necrophile isn't he?
) and torn him off from waist down with a uppercut, that literally sent his Shikabane Hime and his torso to heavens.
The other Shichisei's demise was practical lame once balloon-head let herself killed, BTW.
What they only brought closure is that Ouri's classmates brought to Ouri the topic of Omune-sama's dissapearance and her death.
At the end, Makina chose to live and fight until she can conclude her vendetta against Hokuto.
Then, it ends as Makina continues to throw punch after punch on the white bitch's face, while centipede-guy pleads to stop it.
