3-4 does very well, despite (or perhaps because of?) its short length. The ending and the cast are both highlights, as well as how much it flows to 3-5. Speaking of which...!

My rating: 10/10. I'm a little conflicted on this one. I think this one is the weakest of the 3 finale cases in the OT just in terms of moments and overall feeling. But it's such a good way to conclude the OT, probably the best in any entertainment I know of. It knows what the fans want and delivers it in spades, while still making a really fulfilling conclusion that ties all loose ends.

As someone who likes to read in detail about localization and translation, I always really liked the "gravely roast" contradiction. Puzzles mixing visual and word puns can be a disaster to translate, but this worked so seamlessly that it felt like it was made for English.
