That only applies to the anime continuity and fans of the manga loathed it. The manga appears to be going with the Empire will be destoryed by the revolutionary army or the corruption Honest perpetuates will be maintained indefinitely.

Wave's sense of responsibility is a charcter flaw in my opinion. Run and Kurome did not include him in their dispatching of Wild Hunt because they knew he would oppose it because from his perception despite their atrocities both secret policies serve the Empire and their mutual hostility could lead to trouble. Wave defeated Syura but his victory was pointless it was Run and Esdeath's actions that ensured his and Wild Hunt's downfall politically and physically. Night Raid's assassination of some Wild Hunt members and Lubbock killing Syura during his torture that finally ended their menace. Sometimes the law has to be disregarded in order to achieve change for the greater good and that is why I like Tatsumi more than Wave.
