I think it drove the point home that CJX was only a means to an end; after all, it was still about the partnership of two men protecting their beloved city.
I thought it was awesome and I'm really, really going to miss it. The show had its flaws but made them loveable damn you and it was a rare example of a series that could make me like the heroes as characters, instead of just wanting to see them fight bad guys and kill stuff. Farewell W, I shall never forget you.
Yeah, I took it back as soon as I saw Futo tower under construction.
But man...Accel...it's ability is Accelerated healing powers
But some things still don't make sense though. You probably say pet shop and hospital happened on the same day because Shotaro was holding the bag of cat food. But look at the scene again. It's definitely Shotaro flashing back to the hospital when he was walking home after the cat food. The screen-wipe highly suggests it's a flashback. In fact, it happens before and after every flashback scene, except for the interlaced ones of Gaia Impact and Sho being shot. That was confusing as hell the first time.
In short, I still say the grudge is 1 day old.
As a side note, I'm pretty sure Shotaro buys cat food every day now. They just happen to use the exact same prop in every scene so it's confusing lol.
I'll just chalk it all up to the writers probably intending it to be a two-parter.
