Not really. Almost none of that is convenience for the sake of it. Kagura being there is convenient, yes, but this is why this is good. What makes the Irene development bad is the overwhelming amount of convenience that is being forced upon us just to make the plot move a particular way, and make an otherwise infallible threat lose. It is convenience being used to extort a particular means to an end, just because there is no logical way to write this scenario away to where the good guys can win of their own devices. What made Sting and Larcade okay was that it was a tag team effort between three people, using their own skills and nothing more, to defeat a bad guy who was a major threat. This is just Irene beating herself, like every other failure of a villain that had preceded her.
