If the anime just glosses over the lockdown & Kawaki's character doing a 180, what excuses will we have?

Usually the anime fixes everything the manga ruins, but in this situation they made it worse by developing them too far only to flip a switch back.
Maybe the filler was purposefully bad so no one would watch & see the development
The aBort fans that watched the anime 2022 get deservedly middle fingered too. 2 birds 1 stone.
Anyways, it obviously won't be like this, but going 1C/EP will give us this schedule. Assuming they add some filler in between, i could see them finishing up the adaptation by the time C83 releases
(end of Vol 21).
Do we think the manga can wrap up in 6 Chapters? Seems impossible with they fact that they still need to kill Sasuke, unlock Sarada's MS, & have Mitsuki go SM. But they killed off Naruto & Kurama in like 4 pgs so

Or they could go for another vol, & TS will drop in December with the TS designs revealed at Jump Festa?
