Happy? No. I am satisfied that it has finally come to an end. This series has never been about happy endings. It was a tough final lesson for Jack: that sometimes achieving one's goal can come at a cost, sometimes a price that negates the feeling of victory. He went back to the past, ended Aku, and lost the woman he loved in the process. Jack's hope at the end was from the ladybug, which he and Ashi both loved. Her spirit still lived on in everything she gave her existence to protect. This was not the ending that most people wanted. No. This was the ending best suited to the series. It was true to so much of what Jack has experienced. He won the battle, but lost the war.
