I agree but I feel like this could’ve been tackled by “the power of friendship” to some extent. Guts has been gathering friends and companions for a while now, some of whom are pretty powerful themselves. I think having them strategise, prepare and work as a group for the final showdown would be a bit more meaningful than a simple birth power-up. I still expect it to happen, even if not in as crucial role as I’m thinking of, but we’ll see how it goes.

As long as we get an ending and they don’t completely drop the ball I’ll be satisfied.
