What's with everyone commenting on the Kill la Kill ending? It wasn't very good. Some points:

1. Nui's life fibers were "too strong" to wear a Godrobe, yet Ragyo, who has the highest affinity with Life Fibers, can wear Shin*a Kok***u no problem?
2. Senke**u can't cut Junketsu, but can easily punch a hole through Shin*a Kok***u.
3. Ryuuko tries to reconcile with Ragyo ("let's go back together&quot ;) , even after all the **** that's happened?
4. Ragyo's motivation was just to hasten the destruction of the universe? In that case, why don't life fibers destroy every planet they encounter, not just the ones with sentient life?
5. Ragyo commits sudoku purely to spite Ryuuko. She and Nui deserved worse, more satisfying deaths.
6. Senke**u dies for no apparent reason. The only purpose of that was to give the series a bittersweet ending.

KLK was plagued by inconsistent writing from the beginning, so it's no surprise the ending was a mess.

Nui was born from Life fibers. An artificial human presumably cannot be a host to Life Fibers (or Kamuis) if they already are a living one. Ragyo's birth was presumably a natural one, so has something to offer the Life Fibers.

2. Senke**u can't cut Junketsu, but can easily punch a hole through Shin*a Kok***u.

Remember that Senke***'s trait is the ability to evolve in a fight. He transformed to do that without being worn by Ryuko.

3. Ryuuko tries to reconcile with Ragyo ("let's go back together&quot ;) , even after all the **** that's happened?

She's trying to pull the Goku thing by giving her a chance to redeem herself. Hell even that scene where they face off above the planet's surface is a nod to Battle of the Gods.

Because Life Fibers are parasitic and need a host or be absorbing sentient life to do anything productive.

Yeah, but they're now dead so rejoice!

6. Senke**u dies for no apparent reason. The only purpose of that was to give the series a bittersweet ending.

As a Kamui, he's made of Life Fibers. Ryuko transmitted to the Life Fibers at the Satellite to deactivate them, and they obeyed because they all work by a Hivemind. Senke**u - having his own consciousnes - lasted longer and resisted the order long enough to save Ryuko, but his Life Fiber makeup eventually gave way and he perished.

There is one thing that puzzled me though - since Life Fibers are now dead/inactive, why isn't Ryuuko suffering?
This signature is false.

We're given no reason to believe that Nui is any different than Ryuuko: neither human nor clothing. There's no intuitive inference to be drawn from the differing circumstances of their births.

Yes, he evolved the ability to perform the Blade Gale without being worn. No, that shouldn't have suddenly given him the ability to sever another Godrobe.

Why would R**uko feel the slightest inclination to forgive the person who literally trashed her as a baby, ordered the execution of her father, and is the cause of all her misfortune? And no, that wasn't a DBZ reference, it was the End of Evangelion and Gunbuster 2. Gainax shows.

Only it takes 100,000 years or so to evolve their hosts, and then they require a species traitor to enact the plan. The (ultimately irrelevant) original life fiber didn't have any sort of will or intelligence, it was being directed by Ragyo.

Nui should have died in episode 22. The build-up was perfect, and then she's rescued by Hououououmaru, who just somehow knew the opportune moment to grab Nui and beat a hasty retreat.

No, they explicitly stated that Ryuuko and Senke**u are alike. Senke**u dies with some one-liner as justification: "Looks like Shin*a Kok***u was more powerful than I thought". This in particular doesn't make sense, considering they just extolled their unlimited absorption ability. Anyway, he didn't unravel because his life fibers were compelled to disintegrate.

'Cause she's neither human nor life fiber, and her command was directed only at the life fibers that had previously been human beings. We don't know whether the life fibers even died, because the command ability was Ragyo's last trump card -- she couldn't complete the plan once she lost it. At that point it wasn't necessary to explicitly kill any remaining fibers.
