This Season Didn't End Where I Thought it was Going to....

I thought this season was going to end after Karishima rescues Yoshino from Azami?! What was the point in even including those scenes in the opening? With it ending where it did I feel like it's highly unlikely we'll ever even see that part animated. Or it will take a really long time considering there isn't enough content right now to cover a full second season and no one really knows when the author is coming back from hiatus...
