   The only thing I missed about the conclusion is that it never showed exactly   
   what happened to the rest of the Black Moon Clan (or even if there was   
   anyone else left in the clan for that matter). After Demande's death, the   
   ending conflict shifted from preventing the takeover of Crystal Tokyo to   
   defeating Wiseman and the Death Phantom. I would have liked to see if the   
   remaining inhabitants of Nemesis saw the error of their ways and were   
   accepted into Crystal Tokyo.
