I'd argue that this arc is the first one to address the issue of talent from the perspective of the common man. The earlier arcs were much too focused on Houtarou's internal struggle to accept himself to give much attention to the perspective of everyone else.
The fact remains that this episode marks the end of a major arc and the final image it conveys goes a long way towards its interpretation as an arc. I'm not "jumping to conclusions" here. I'm looking at the entire arc as a whole and what it might have meant.
