Thoughts:

What an absolute train wreck this was. And I loved every second of it! Story? All over the place. Plot? Insane. Did it make sense? No. Are the characters rational or normal? In zero capacity. Was it entertaining? Absolutely!

Listen, there's plot holes galore, and nothing makes sense half the time, but this show knows what it is. It's every trope that's ever been put into a fanfiction. It's camp. It's dramatic. It's the omegaverse. In my mind, it does not have to make sense, it just needs to be enjoyed for what it is.

Whump-wise, it was another great season, with so many tropes in it, to the point where I dare say this show knew what the audience wanted. Which was attractive guys suffering... basically. You can't tell me that Kenta and Willy aren't exemplary archetypes for a whumpee. Kenta, the damaged, traumatised, defiant one raised to be a guard dog (who just so happens to be stripped at almost any occasion so we can see his muscles wounds); and Willy, the sympathetic villain whumpee. Willy was damaged by everyone on all sides, even the "good guys". And that's not to let bro off the hook, he was insane, but hell if you don't feel a smidge bit sorry for him at points.

I wouldn't even classify any of the plot holes as faults, considering how entertained I was watching this. It's not meant to be taken seriously, just enjoy the ride and the whump it offers.
