Pathetic ending for a pathetic villain. That is unless this is just the first part of the fight, which of course it's going to be. Sigh.
I wouldn't necessarily call him a
pathetic villain. Sure, his reasons were certainly pathetic, but his planning and execution (aside from what he's shown in this fight) certainly aren't.
I mean, he very easily took control of almost every major country in the world without anyone being the wiser.
But as you say, sadly, I doubt this is the last of it. Wish it was, though, I hate villains where their entire premise is some twisted reverence for the MC.
