The Playing With page states the subversion lies with the hero's reaction. The victory is still an awful, pyrrhic situation, but the character doesn't care that's the case.

For this epilogue to be pyrrhic, it should be showing us there's an awful post-victory cost going on and then showing us the characters don't care about it. This epilogue doesn't do that. It introduces a completely non-pyrrhic peace and tranquility from the outset and then gradually has character conversations fill in a summary of the past ten years having been completely peaceful and, while there's sadness over the loss of friends, everyone's happy and content. That's not a subversion because we don't see a pyrrhic situation in the first place for characters to fail to care about.

The points you\'re raising about the amount of people the Gotei 13 should have lost are valid - but they\'re {{Fridge}} observations. They are not reflected in the chapter we read, they\'re the \"hang on, wait a minute...\" reaction we get upon reading the chapter.
