He then takes part in the battle to reclaim Ala Mhigo, effortlessly swinging his sword around to cut down soldiers.

We didn't see a struggle. We didn't see his 'disability' serve as a meaningful, long term consequence of his recklessness. Which is particularly grating when you consider that the only lasting consequence of ARR's ending was Teledji's death, which given that he was an antagonist isn't a terribly surprising conclusion.
