This chapter was way better than it had any right to be. A really well-drawn fight scene, various characters coordinating their talents, your whole big shonen affirmation of identity, a tragic villain, some neat hacking warfare, and a couple of very nifty parallels between characters and reflections upon the main theme. I gotta hand it to the author for wrapping stuff up so elegantly, though it just makes me wish more than ever that this was a longer series that could really delve into the implications of it's world and society whilst fleshing out the antagonists. There is so much promise and potential to be found here, a virtual ocean of fun concepts coupled with great, subtle execution, so the fact that the next chapter is the last really breaks my heart.
