Yeah, it may not make much sense considering the nature of the Anti-Spiral, but it's true there's no victory quite as awesome or viscerally satisfying as thoroughly trashing the big bad into submission with your bare hands. Even truer considering the Anti-Spiral basically embodies all the depressing inevitabilities of real-life, so said beatdown is even more emotionally liberating for the audience.

The one thing that puzzles me is the AS isn't a flesh-and-blood being but rather a force of nature, so even if it took on a human-size physical form, no amounts of punching or kicking would achieve any kind of damage (homogeneous elemental entity, it's like trying to cut a pool of water), suitably reflecting its inevitable nature.

I guess there was just no convincing way to get a satisfying ending, so they had to cheat one way or another ^ ^;
