This episode was so whack. This did not feel like a final battle at all. The way Tritannous was defeated could have been done back in episode 2 when they had their Believix. They may not have been able to move around in the pollution too well but I'm positive they could have destroyed his staff. Heck Bloom almost defeated him when she had her Harmonix. The Trix really are pathetic, they couldn't even put up a fight against Tritannous but Naraius was holding his own against him with a sword and no powers. Bloom and Aisha were off screen for a while and Stella, Musa, Tecna and Flora went to go fight off the mutants with Roy in a very lackluster battle. Bloom was being a bit too extra for me "Dragon KICK, Dragon PUNCH, Fire JAB". Aisha and Daphne finally see each other face to face which is cool. I wanted to have remourse for Tritannous, but I just couldn't. I thought he was going to be a villain that I would sympathize with, but his actions after losing his pollution powers sadly show me that Aisha and her family were right to shun him. He seems to be a sociopath. He said "I only regret not crushing you when I had the chance." Ok Tritannous, aside from your family shunning you, why did you want to take it out on the whole magical deminsion, from what I see the Trix didn't stir your judgement all that much. OH! and that's another thing. Did he just completely forget about Icy. When he powered up, he went insane and turned on her. After he powered down, he never spoke of her again. Could this be a sign that he never really loved her and was actually using her all along. I feel like the only reason Daphne was brought back is because Elizabeth Gilles is voicing her, same with Diaspro and Ariana Grande.
Also, this whole thing about people wanting Nabu to come back. I hope and Prey that Nabu is NOT brought back to life. Let me explain why. If a character is killed off and it makes you feel some kind of way (sad, angry) it means that the writers did a good job with the character. Bringing Nabu back would only make his death in Season 4 mean nothing and would take away a lot the feelings you had while watching that scene. Mind you Nabu had the personality of a cardboard box, the only thing he brought to the table was allowing Aisha to explore her softer side and let her character be fleshed out.
All in all here is my order of Seasons from best to worst (my opinion, not necessarily correct)
Season 2 (Great character development and sideplots)
Season 4 (I know this is the fan hated season, but I think people hate it because it's different and not that they actually think the Season by itself is trash. This Season allowed the Winx to live their lives after alfea while managing a job and their boyfriends while also trying to mentor an up and coming fairy. It brought a lot of Magical Girl elements to the table and has probably the darkest premise of the whole series.)
Season 1 (Great way to start off the series but Season 2 had better writing)
Season 3 (I know this is the fan favorite but it is a poor Season in my opinion. Everything was so rushed. The pacing was horrible and Bloom's Enchantix arc could have been done so much better. Actually everyone earning their Enchantix could have been done better.)
Season 5 (Tried too hard to be like Season 2 and failed miserably. But there were still some good moments, the action was toned up and the first few episodes were fantastic)
Can't wait for Season 6 but I'm not gonna overhype myself.
