This episode had a lot to think about but it does feel like we've just set off towards that rushed ending, imho. Fingers crossed that that's not true.
morbosfist:
Spoiler for Truth:
It ties up a lot of loose ends on Truth, but at the same time I'm a bit confused about Truth now. Things that're cleared up: apparently (1) if quartz and secret contact each other things go boom! and (2) apparently Truth literally can't do anything to secrets.
(1) I think is just a more precise restatement of what we already knew (that if the secrets aren't prevented from reaching the scub burst there is a big explosion). Especially given the way they both look, it's almost as if quartz and secrets are like matter and anti-matter to each other.
(2) is interesting too, because if I remember right way back in the beginning Truth gets all excited when he realizes that Ao can defeat secrets (and Eureka's remembered by some people as having been the one who showed how to defeat secrets).
So that is good. What I am finding really lame is Truth not accepting that he's a secret in human form. The way it came across is like: Truth doesn't remember that he was a secret. Truth seemingly refuses to accept that he's a secret, even when someone like his adoptive father Johannson came to that conclusion (etc.).
The reason it's lame is it's just hard to see what Truth thought he was, then. He had memories of the incident with Eureka and memories of the previous world, had crazy powers, crazy shape shifting powers, and a natural color scheme that looks just like a secret...but, nah, of course he thinks being a secret is impossible.
I really hope I just missed some explanation or nuance because otherwise it seems hard to swallow the huge angst from Truth over this, because it seems to come out of nowhere for me.
Another plot point I'm a bit unclear on:
