It was quite the cheap shot here, but the issue with the admiral became much worse because not only his decisions as of late don't exactly look apparent (thanks to Nagato for being way too predominant in the chain of command), but his disappearance would obviously not feel anything special whatsoever, since he feels like thin air already.

The ending point with Fubuki's mere remodel is...quite random considering how basic the first remodel process is.

Spoiler:

Yuudachi's transformation was used as a catalyst for a further exploration into Fubuki's insecurities, coupled with the orders for her to return to base. I understand how you feel cheated of seeing some Yuudachi kai 2 action, but the show creators' essentially made a choice to have drama and character development over fanservice (the guns and torpedoes kind). On a fundamental level, I think they made the right choice even if it stole from Yuudachi, and I'm sure we'll have plenty of Yuudachi Kai 2 fanservice in the very near future.

Admiral's disappearance came about real suddenly and I feel we don't see the Kongou reaction we should've seen (although maybe she took care of that off-screen, plus she's not the stay put and mope type).
