A debate broke out everywhere as soon as the battle was over and had been telecasted worldwide. Many were praising Arnold for his courage and strength. But there were also a few, who berated him. Many were glad the threat was over, but a few were sad because of the loss of 21 high ranking warriors and more than 50 civilians, including the warriors who were killed during the initial assault at the Black Estate. The kill count would've been much higher if it wasn't for him and his summons, but it didn't seem like the haters cared about it. They just wanted their two minutes of fame, no matter the methods they use to achieve it.
Also, most of these people died before Arnold and others reached the observatory. But that didn't stop people from judging Arnold. Their only argument was, "If he had that kind of strength, why didn't he use it from the beginning? Was he waiting for the rest to die?"
