Yes. I intended to add a bit more to the usual formula by having cahracter development throughout the story. And yes, I made sure to build up the emphasis on how threatening Captain Dark Shell can be. As I mentioned before, when you see one character be defeated by another, it makes the stronger character seem more powerful. For example, remember just how powerful Ink Splash during the first half of the first season of HoEC? She was possibly the most powerful character in existence at that time. However, as time went on, she got upstaged by other characters, such as PHX-001, Shogo, Storm Cloud or Discord. Even though the two last ones are the most powerful, the case of PHX-001 and Shogo is very special, because their power has been shown compared to Ink Splash's power in at least one occasion. Ink Splash is still one of the more powerful characters in the series, but she also serves now as an indicator of a character's power. When there's a character who can take down Ink Splash by themselves, you know this character means serious business. More so when it's the entire Team Hybrids instead of just Ink Splash.

I also wanted to have all the characters come for this season finale to serve as a cool wrap-up for the first three seasons of the series. I know the series will continue for a few more seasons, but I still wanted to make this special by bringing together all the characters the gang has encountered throughout the series, or at least most of them. It does show just how far the gang has come throughout the series when you see just how many new allies they've made during these three seasons.
