i'm not saying that you missed the point of the ending, but you definitely missed the connection w/ the pink hair. it was clearly him embracing/coming to terms with his time in the games -- it's no coincidence that the hair was the same color as the workers in the games.

as far as the ending goes:

Spoiler

the meaning of the show came to light in the final scene w/ the old man: society discards those in need. we step over the homeless, poke fun of those less fortunate, and aren't inclined enough to help one another as human beings; we use or excuse each other for our own benefit or entertainment; the group-thought is that it's easier to turn a blind eye than it is to help; nobody cares; just toss out the people who are circling the drain, because there's no point in doing otherwise and any effort is a lost cause.
...it's about humanity and humility.
