Really? I thought that was fairly reasonable. It was a irrational, impulsive decision, so an emotional appeal is the best way to talk her down
I like Tougo because she was established to be the most logical of the bunch. Yet after finding out the truth (not the whole truth, mind you, but just whatever she learnt from Sonoko. This is important because even Sonoko herself believed that she would never get better.) Tougo then makes the irrational decision of committing mass murder and merely through Yuuna's words, she believes Sange won't take away their memories again?
She lived through it. With or without her memories, she knows for a fact that even with Yuuna's claim, Sange can still take away their memories. This is leaving out the question of why the Mankai/Sange system use RNG.
I think the idea was that they killed so many vertex during the fight that there's no attack expected in the foreseeable future, so the hero system can be significantly relaxed. The offerings helped power it, presumably
The ending did not answer anything aside from heroes' willpower and friendship triumphs all. We still don't know why Sonoko was left to suffer her fate. We still don't know how and why their body offerings were returned. Shinju-sama was presented as a questionable god not disclosing the risks of Mankai/Sange. We had hints of the Taisha's possible agenda and yet in the end, everything was completely reversed and there was practically no consequence to the choices the Yuusha club members made in the show.
Again, I liked the hints of something else happening behind the scene involving Yuuna and if this eventually comes into play, this ending won't bother me so much anymore. Like Yuuna returning from her comatose state without an explaination of any kind and her fainting during the play. Someone also mentioned how there was no flower petals on Yuuna compared to the other members after the fight.
TL;DR The ending left many questions unanswered and if they were eventually answered, I would be satisfied.
Edit: Sequel LN confirmed. My hope for the series is back up and running.
